Chapter 6

“No, they agreed to give one more chance, the very last one, truly the last! So this time...” Gordon said very seriously.

As soon as he heard there was still another chance, Logan Grant looked very happy. He immediately jumped up from the ground. “That last time was a mistake, it definitely won’t happen again, Gordon! This time I’ll definitely succeed!”

“It’s good that you have that confidence! Grant, think about why you came to Brazil!”

“To make money!” The moment he mentioned making money, Logan Grant’s eyes lit up. “To make big money! To make lots and lots of money!”

“That’s right. If you can’t even get into a team, you’re not qualified to make money! So this time, run as hard as you can, let them see your speed! Scare them to death!” Gordon clenched his fist and said through gritted teeth.

“Run! Let them see how awesome I, Logan Grant, am!” Logan Grant also clenched his fist and shouted through gritted teeth, just like Gordon.

……

“What are those two lunatics doing...” Lyle watched from the side as the old and the young, one fat and one thin, first put their heads together and whispered, then clenched their fists and shouted. He felt more and more that staying behind was a mistake.

Lucas Sutton watched Logan Grant and Gordon in the training area from among the youth team crowd. “They look pretty motivated...”

“In that respect, they’re definitely much better than you, Lucas.” Rick said to Lucas Sutton.

“Mind your own business!” Lucas Sutton rolled his eyes at Rick. “But you know, people say he’s really fast, maybe even faster than you!”

“That’s impossible.” Rick was just as confident in his own speed. “You can’t run fast with shoes, let alone barefoot. This is natural turf, the soil is soft, and if you’re not wearing shoes, it’s hard to get traction. Plus, natural turf is pretty slippery, and running barefoot makes it even easier to slip.”

Lucas Sutton didn’t argue with Rick, because he also thought Rick was right... The reason football boots have studs is to increase grip and prevent slipping on natural turf, especially when the grass has just been watered...

……

Logan Grant once again stood next to the youth team coach Warren.

Even Warren couldn’t help but give Logan Grant another look.

His gaze naturally fell on Logan Grant’s feet.

Those were really big feet... Ten toes moving as flexibly as octopus tentacles, finally spreading out together, then curling in together.

These feet... might actually be really suited for playing football...

Warren thought to himself.

Logan Grant’s knees slowly pressed down, then slowly rose again, but his feet never left the ground. He was feeling the texture of the turf and the feedback of his strength.

“It’s about to start.” Warren quietly reminded Logan Grant.

Then he heard a deep breath being taken beside him.

He ignored it and blew his whistle, signaling to the other players taking the test that it was starting!

After that, he dribbled the ball out and passed it to the player ahead on the left.

When he saw Warren pass the ball, Logan Grant slowly exhaled the breath he had just taken in.

Then he leaned forward slightly, shifting his weight onto the ball of his left foot, with his right leg trailing behind, slightly bent, right foot lifted, toe touching the ground, right arm forward, left arm back.

Run!

Run as fast as possible!

Let them see how awesome I, Logan Grant, am!

Logan Grant’s left toes gripped tightly, clutching the turf, his left thigh muscles suddenly tensed, and in an instant, he released all the power he had stored up!

At the same time, his waist twisted to the right, left arm swung forward, right arm swung back, driving his right leg forward, right foot lifted. Logan Grant shot out like a bullet in an instant!

By this time, the ball had already reached the second player’s feet.

……

After passing the ball, Warren felt a blur before his eyes! A red figure flashed by!

Then grass clippings and dirt splattered onto him, even... onto his face!

He opened his mouth wide, staring in shock at the Chinese boy in the red vest who had instantly sped away from him... He ran toward the sideline, heading for the gap left after the second player moved to the center. Logan Grant would run there and then cut inside, drawing an arc along the left wing of the training area, charging into the space behind the opponent’s defensive line...

At that moment, the wind picked up, blowing the bangs on his forehead.

……

“My God...” The fans waiting on the sidelines to see Logan Grant make a fool of himself all had the same expression as Warren.

They stared at the training field with disbelief, staring at that red figure!

It was like a red lightning bolt streaking across the sky above the Bravonda training base!

“What explosive power!” Someone in the youth team exclaimed, and then fell silent.

Everyone was stunned by the speed Logan Grant had just displayed.

It was as if a powerful air pressure was blocking their mouths, making them unable to utter a sound!

Lucas Sutton’s eyes widened, and his fists were clenched tightly without him even realizing it.
