Big Name Dropped from List: 38

  Remember in one second

  The next day's training session, Wu Yu and Gao Wei arrived early at the training ground, while Gret seemed to have appeared even earlier than them on the training ground, and entered the locker room with head coach Martins.

  When Ge Lie entered the locker room, he glanced at Wu Yu slightly and immediately turned his gaze away, with an extremely calm expression on his face, as if yesterday's events had never occurred.

  Training went on as usual, today's training Gret seems particularly serious and relaxed.

  He who is usually fierce and intimidating, at this time was willing to joke with others, his smile also very natural.

  This left Wu Yu and Gao Wei very perplexed, unsure what had happened to cause Gret's sudden change.

  After the morning training session, according to the usual habit, the big list of this week's match should also be out. This weekend, Marítimo will challenge Rio Ave away, a mid-to-lower Portuguese Super League team. This is their second game in a week, the 14th round of the Portuguese Super League, and also the last game before the winter break.

  After this game, the Portuguese Super League will have a one-month winter break, and each player will also have three weeks off. Gao Wei is already eager to plan his itinerary after returning home, while Wu Yu hasn't thought about these things because he knows that he should focus his energy on preparing for the next game, he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the previous game.

  To be honest, for more than a week recently, he has been troubled by too many external factors. First, his grandfather was seriously ill and needed to undergo heart bypass surgery, and then he discovered that Gret had gambled on the ball, which brought up the past events hidden in his heart again. For the past two days of training, Wu Yu's mind has been somewhat unsettled, although he has made great efforts to adjust.

  After training, Wu Yu went to see the big name list of the game with Dickao and Gao Wei for the first time. For some reason, he always yearned to know as soon as possible whether he would start the game.

  When they appeared on the bulletin board, some teammates turned back and looked at Wu Yu with a rather strange gaze.

  "Xiao Yu, why isn't your name on it?" Gao Wei said in surprise, looking at the big list of names on the bulletin board.

  Wu Yu's heart also felt a chill at this time. His eyes had scanned the list of players three times, but he still couldn't find his own name.

  His mind was in a mess, and at this moment, he had no idea what to think. He came to see the big list, worried that he would sit on the substitute seat, but unexpectedly, there was not even his own position on the substitute seat, and he was directly excluded from the big list.

  Judging from his performance over the past two months, even if he had an average first half in the last game, it wouldn't have been enough to be left out of the big squad. This has left Wu Yu wondering what's going on inside, and Martens hasn't told him what the reason is either.

  "Look, Gret also didn't make it into the big list!" Gao Wei's surprised voice recalled once again.

  Wu Yu slightly turned his head, raised his eyes to scan the bulletin board, squeezed out a smile in front of him, and self-deprecatingly said: "It seems that I'm not the only one who's unlucky"

  。”

  Gao Wei and Dick looked at Wu Yun with some weirdness, knowing that he was now heartbroken, and could only pat his shoulder to comfort him.

  ……

  "Wu Yu, do you know why I didn't put you on the competition roster?" Martens looked at Wu Yu sitting in front of him with a hint of a smile and asked calmly.

  "Mr. Martins, I don't know." Wu Yu very directly expressed the doubts in his heart.

  Martins looked at Wu Yu, the smile on his face slowly converged, and then sighed softly, saying: "Wu Yu, you are excellent, but there have been too many things happening to you this week. At your current age, you can't handle well the relationship between them and the game."

  Wu Yu raised his head and looked at the young teacher in front of him, who was over 40 years old, with a puzzled expression on his face.

  "This is the last game of the first half of the season. You've done well over the past two months, it's just that you still don't know how to face defeat," Martins continued.

  "Mr. Martins, I think I've already gotten over the loss of the last match!" Wu Yu couldn't help but retort.

  "Wu Yu, I can see that you still have a grudge about the failure, so I didn't put you on the big list. I wanted you to be fully prepared for the next game, and I hope you understand." Martens was not angry with Wu Yu's retort, but instead explained very sincerely and patiently why he did not let him participate in the next game.

  Wu Yu actually also knew that he was not ready to face the next game, he just wanted to use his actions to make up for the previous loss, but did not think through why the team lost in the previous game despite having a good situation.

  He sank into thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at Martens, nodding slightly: "Alright, I understand, Mr. Martens, so I won't disturb you anymore."

  Martins watched Wu Yu leave, a faint smile on his face. He thought that the defeat of a few days ago was very timely for Wu Yu. This allowed Wu Yu's smooth and successful career to have enough space to think after encountering the first failure, allowing him to understand the true meaning of the game.

  ……

  The next day, Martins led Gao Wei, Dick O and 18 other first-team players on an expedition to Rio Ave.

  Wu Yun and Dike, who were not selected for the big list of individual players, had a one-day holiday. In fact, they have already entered the winter break from this day on.

  A somewhat depressed Wu Yu went to the bar with Hua Yan, Monica and her mustachioed brother to watch the game. Although he couldn't play himself, he still had to support his team.

  "Xiao Yu, how's your grandfather's condition?" asked Hua Yan with concern. She didn't mention the competition or anything else, just wanting to divert Wu Yu's attention and ease his mood a bit.

  "My mom said the surgery was very successful, and she's already feeling a lot better, but she can't be discharged from the hospital yet." Wu Yu pulled his scarf tighter over his face. The winter in Madeira was still quite chilly, and the cold wind felt like a knife cutting into his skin, so people usually covered their faces with scarves when they went out.

  "This time when I go back, I'll accompany my family properly. I also want to see your grandfather." Hua Yan said lightly.

  "Are you going to Guangzhou too?" Wu Yu was somewhat surprised.

  "Hmm, Dawei said he'd take me out to play in Guangzhou..." Huayan said, her voice trailing off here.

  Wu Yu looked at Hua Yan's expression and smiled strangely under his scarf before shaking his head and walking into the bar.

  Monica and Big Beard were already in the bar when they saw Wu Yu come in. Monica cheered and ran over, throwing her arms around Wu Yu. Poor Wu Yu didn't even have a chance to react before Monica gave him a big hug.

  He looked bitter, with a helpless expression, as if that beautiful girl had taken advantage of him.

  The others in the bar were drawn over by Monica's cheers, and when they saw Wu Yu embracing the beautiful and lovely Monica (actually it was Monica who was embracing Wu Yu), their faces showed varying degrees of envy, jealousy or anger, but beneath these different expressions, there was a common underlying message - this kid is getting away with it!

  Wu Yu looked at everyone in the bar who was casting unfriendly glances, and could only awkwardly smile, his eyebrows slightly raised.

  After a long time, he finally broke free from Monica's embrace, walked to the counter, pulled down his scarf and ordered two cups of hot beer from the bartender.

  The young bartender poured two glasses of beer, and when he handed one to Wu Yu, he deliberately raised his head and gave him a white eye. But when he saw Wu Yu's appearance, he was stunned.

  。

  "You... you're Wu Yu?" The bartender's voice was clearly surprised.

  "Hello." Wu Yu just smiled slightly.

  "Oh, it's great to see you here today, we were just wondering why you didn't show up." The bartender, who originally had an unfriendly face, immediately revealed a surprised smile, excitedly.

  The others in the bar, after the bartender's enthusiastic words, turned their faces again, and when they found that the person they had just despised was Wu Yu, each of them smiled awkwardly and raised their glasses to welcome him.

  Wu Yu looked at them, who were originally not friendly, but now showed a sincere smile, nodding to himself, couldn't help but feel speechless, and could only raise his wine glass, gesturing to everyone.

  Although Wu Yu is the new star of Maldives, becoming the darling of fans, they are not as crazy as those female fans. This bar often has players coming to drink, so they are also used to it. They just nodded at Wu Yu in a friendly manner and returned to their respective conversations.

  "Wu Yu, are you okay? You didn't get hurt, did you?" The bartender looked Wu Yu up and down for a moment before asking with concern.

  "It's nothing, just a bit tired, the coach let me rest for this game." Wu Yu smiled slightly and said.

  The bartender saw that Wu Yu was fine and put his mind at ease, then started chatting with Wu Yu. It's clear he liked Wu Yu a lot and was very interested in him.

  The away game between Marítimo and Rio Ave has started amidst the chatter of the crowd. Marítimo lost Wu Lei and Gretarsson, two main midfielders, and their offense seemed a bit weak, while Rio Ave's strength was clearly inferior to that of Marítimo.

  Both sides' offense only stayed on the surface, as if every player's heart was taken away by the upcoming winter break, and no one was enthusiastic about fighting.

  The two sides finally shook hands with a 0-0 draw after a fierce battle of 90 minutes. Maritimo have not won or scored in the last two rounds, and their ranking has dropped from fourth to fifth, five points behind third-placed Benfica.

  This match marked the start of a one-month winter break for Primeira Liga, with the next match resuming on January 12, 2014.

  Hua Yan followed Wu Yu and Gao Wei back to Guangzhou.
