Qin Lin stood on the small terrace on the second floor of his house, looking towards the backyard of the villa diagonally in front of him.
There is a small football field surrounded by a net wall.
The football stadium that was once bustling is now quiet.
But Qin Lin still stood there and watched, without looking away.
Not long after, he saw a figure walking out of the basement of the villa, dragging a Decathlon manual trailer filled with various training equipment.
The man pulled the trailer to the small court and began to unload all the items from the car one after another and place them in the middle of the court.
Since he was alone, it took him some time to set up the training scene.
There are pyramids, rope ladders, vertical poles, and sign discs, etc. The placement is exactly the same as normal training.
After doing all this, the figure began to warm up on the court.
Even though there was only one person, he still didn't slack off. Every warm-up session was done very seriously and to a standard.
"You are here, I have been looking for you downstairs..." His wife Wang Yuan's voice came from behind Qin Lin. She also walked onto the terrace, and then she saw the figure warming up on the court.
She knew why her husband was here.
So she stood with her husband in the cold wind at the end of December and looked over.
After looking at it for a while, she murmured: "Hey...Old Qin, do you know what I thought of when I saw this?"
"What?"
"The plot in a TV series: Xu Sanduo guards the barracks of the 7th Steel Company by himself, insists on cleaning, and even sings before going in to the canteen when he goes to eat..."
Qin Lin didn't let his wife finish what she said, and suddenly shouted in the direction of the court: "Junpei Morikawa!!"
The figure who was warming up on the court shook for a moment, then turned to look at Qin Lin and stood at attention.
"Go open the door for me!" Qin Lin waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the front door of the villa.
Morikawa Junpei quickly turned around and ran to the front door.
Qin Lin also turned around and walked down.
"Hey, why are you going?" my wife asked from behind.
"Give him a helping hand, he can't do it alone."
※※※
Junpei Morikawa performed a snake-like maneuver in the gap between the four vertical poles, twisted around the poles, and then ran to the right.
After running to the place where a red sign disc is located, stop suddenly and lean over to flip up the sign disc with your hands, then turn back and sprint to the other side.
At the same time, Qin Lin passed the football he was stepping on.
Junpei Morikawa caught the ball with his left foot, moved the football to his right foot, and shot.
The football was kicked towards the small goal not far away.
Qin Lin lowered his head and glanced at the stopwatch in his hand: "The speed is obviously slower than before. You are tired. Take a rest."
Morikawa Junpei gasped and said nothing, but nodded.
Qin Lin put the coat that Morikawa Junpei had taken off on him, and the two of them sat on the folding chairs on the sidelines to rest.
"I wanted to ask you when we were eating yesterday...the team hasn't started training yet, why are you back so early?"
Junpei Morikawa took a sip of water before saying: "I think... I want to come back early and train in advance to adjust my physical condition."
"Where are your parents?"
"They farmed in the countryside."
"No, I mean are they willing to let you go?"
"They know that this is what professional players are like. I told them that the club asked me to return, and they agreed."
"Hey kid, the club didn't ask you to come back so early!"
Morikawa Junpei smiled and said nothing more.
The chat stopped abruptly.
After a moment of silence, Morikawa Junpei stood up from the chair and threw off his coat: "Brother Lin, shall we continue?"
Qin Lin stood up and suddenly asked "carelessly": "Do you hate the club now?"
Morikawa Junpei was stunned for a moment, then turned to Qin Lin and grinned: "No, Brother Lin. The conditions offered by the other party at that time were indeed not very good..."
Although Junpei Morikawa was not the main midfielder of the Japanese team in the World Cup, his performance as a substitute was outstanding, which also attracted the attention of Europe.
But Flash Star Club rejected all bids for Junpei Morikawa.
From the standpoint of the Shining Star Club, this is understandable. After all, Shining Star had already lost three main players at that time. Wang Guangwei, Xia Xiaoyu and Zhang Qinghuan all left the team that summer. If Junpei Morikawa were to leave again, half of Shining Star would be gone.
.
For the Shining Stars who need to avoid relegation, defense is very important. Therefore, midfielder Junpei Morikawa must not leave the team.
That time, Dong Wenzhen retained Morikawa Junpei despite "international pressure".
"I heard that Motegi Hiroto was very dissatisfied with you, so that's why he didn't recruit you to the national team to participate in the Asian Cup this time?"
What Qin Lin was talking about was a "rumor".
Japanese national team head coach Motegi Hiroto is very optimistic about Morikawa Junpei and made him come on as a substitute four times in a row in the World Cup. Although they all came on as a substitute, it can be said that he got a stable chance to play. After all, the Japanese team is full of talents and can
It is also not easy to come on the bench stably.
In addition, Motegi Hiroto also praised him highly in public, thinking that he would shine in Europe like his predecessors.
This is not a rumor, this is something everyone knows.
But after Junpei Morikawa failed to play in Europe, Motegi's attitude towards him changed 180 degrees. He did not express his dissatisfaction with Junpei Morikawa on any occasion, but since the World Cup, Junpei Morikawa has
He was never selected for the Japanese national team again, and Junpei Morikawa was not injured, so he was inexplicably not selected for the national team. This may prove that the rumors about the tense relationship between the generals are not unfounded.
As for why Motegi Hiroto was very dissatisfied with Morikawa Junpei, whom he was originally optimistic about, and was so dissatisfied that he was unwilling to recruit him to the national team again, there is a rumor in the market:
Motegi Hiroto believes that at the critical moment when Junpei Morikawa had the opportunity to transfer to play in Europe, he did not stand up to put pressure on Anton Shine, and did not resolutely express his intention to leave the Chinese Super League and play in Europe... This behavior is very
A sign of cowardice and lack of progress.
He feels that since Junpei Morikawa is content to stay in a low-level competition like the Chinese Super League and is unwilling to go to Europe, it will be useless no matter how talented he is. His national team does not need such a weak and incompetent person.
In this way, after Junpei Morikawa made four substitute appearances in the World Cup, he said "sayonara" to the Japanese national team (Note 1).
Of course, the above contents are all rumors. Neither Morikawa Junpei nor Motegi Hiroto, the two parties concerned, have come forward to respond to these rumors...
Hiroto Motegi did explain why he did not recruit Junpei Morikawa, but he only said that Junpei Morikawa currently does not meet the requirements of the national team.
What about Junpei Morikawa himself? When asked by a Japanese reporter, he also said, "I will work hard to make progress and strive to meet the requirements as soon as possible."
There doesn't seem to be any conflict between the two, it's just "technical reasons".
However, when three European clubs were seeking to purchase Junpei Morikawa, Junpei Morikawa did appear to be very quiet. He even deliberately refused to accept interviews, not only from Chinese media but also from Japanese media.
Junpei Morikawa does not openly express his desire to transfer to Europe in the media, nor does he reveal his inner thoughts through any channels. Junpei Morikawa does not have many friends in Japan. If I must say, Tatsuya Sugiyama is barely one. Japanese media ran
I went to find Tatsuya Sugiyama to find out what Junpei Morikawa was thinking. Tatsuya Sugiyama said that Junpei Morikawa had not told him about the transfer...
Therefore, Junpei Morikawa did not put pressure on Anton Shining Star Club regarding the transfer.
This ambiguous attitude made rumors like wildfire on the prairie, quickly accepted and believed by most people.
Faced with Qin Lin’s inquiry this time, Morikawa Junpei nodded to this rumor for the first time: “Supervisor Motegi thinks I should go to Europe in the summer... But he does not look down on the level of the Chinese Super League, but thinks that I will continue to stay in the Chinese Super League.
Playing football can no longer improve."
Qin Lin asked again: "Then why didn't you fight for it at that time? I heard Lao Zhao say that you never communicated with the club about this matter... Whether you want to go to Europe or not is one thing. But why didn't you take a stand?
, I didn’t understand it.”
Junpei Morikawa picked up the coat that he had thrown off just now from the ground and put it on again: "Dianxing is very good to me, and I have a good life in Dianxing. I don't want her to be really downgraded. So I did
There is some hesitation.”
Qin Lin's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Morikawa Junpei would do it for such a simple reason.
"Hu Lai, do they have anything to ask of you?"
"No." Junpei Morikawa shook his head, "It's my own idea. I really want to help Shining Star avoid relegation."
After Morikawa Junpei confirmed again, Qin Lin was silent at first, and soon he said: "I'm sorry, Morikawa..."
Morikawa Junpei was surprised: "Brother Lin, why do you want to say sorry to me?"
"In terms of treatment for studying abroad, the club treats you and Chinese players differently..." Qin Lin explained.
Whether it is Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei, Zhang Qinghuan, or Xia Xiaoyu, when a European team comes to bid, no matter how much the Flash Star asks for, at least they maintain an attitude of being willing to listen to the bid. That is to say, they will not refuse to send the players out.
Yes, even willing to give it away.
But when the same thing happened to the Japanese player Junpei Morikawa, the club simply and rudely rejected all offers for him without even consulting the player himself. It did not give European teams a chance to bargain at all.
This is indeed a very obvious difference in treatment, which shows that Flash Star Club does not regard Morikawa Junpei and Hu Lai as the same players.
Under such circumstances, Junpei Morikawa chose to stay and help the team avoid relegation out of love for the club...
He did what he said. Flash Star's success in staying in the Chinese Super League this season has a lot to do with Junpei Morikawa's outstanding performance.
That's why Qin Lin feels guilty for Morikawa Junpei.
After listening to Qin Lin's explanation, Morikawa Junpei retorted seriously: "This is not treated differently, Brother Lin. Because Hu Sang and I are different. I know Hu Sang, Lao Wang, Brother Huan, Xiao
What does it mean for Yu and the others to play in Europe for Chinese football, so it is normal for Hu Sang and the others to receive special preferential treatment from the club in the transfer. But here, the club behaves normally, and there is nothing to say that I am sorry. No.
Which team is willing to let go of important players casually?"
At this point, he confirmed to Qin Lin: "I am an important player in the team, right, Brother Lin?"
Qin Lin nodded: "Of course it counts, absolutely."
After getting the affirmative answer, Morikawa Junpei had a smile on his face again: "Brother Lin, let's continue..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone placed on the chair suddenly rang with a man's hoarse chant:
Qin Lin was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was a cell phone ringtone. Morikawa Junpei did not answer the phone immediately, but looked straight at the caller's name displayed on the screen:
Mr. Mitsui
his agent.
