Chapter 6 The deep love between teachers and students
When Wang Guangwei put down his bag in the locker room, started to change clothes, and prepared for the next training, the team captain Li Tielin walked in and clapped his hands to his teammates in the locker room: "Everyone put their hands on
Let’s put the matter aside, who is that... Han Xiangfei, put your pants on for me quickly, it’s so annoying!”
After his name was called, Han Xiangfei hurriedly put on his shorts.
Captain Li Tielin continued: "The new teammates will come to meet you soon, and they will officially become members of our team. Let me tell you, cheer up, don't lose our star in front of Brother Lin.
people!"
Someone raised their hand: "Captain Li, when Brother Lin comes, will you give him the captain's armband?"
As soon as this question came out, the locker room immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at their captain Li Tielin.
This is a somewhat sensitive issue.
With Qin Lin's reputation and experience, the former double captain of the national team and the South China Tigers, shouldn't he continue to be the captain of a Chinese League One team?
In other teams, the captain is either the one who has played for a team the longest, or is directly determined by the head coach. If a player like Qin Lin is placed in other teams, Li Tielin may have to make a few words from the head coach.
The captain's armband was handed over to Qin Lin obediently.
But the situation with Twinkle Star is different.
The expression on Li Tielin's face was a little awkward: "What are you thinking about? I will do whatever the coach decides."
"That's not the case, Captain Li. Wasn't the captain of our team elected by a vote in the locker room? When we elected you, we recognized you as the captain." The person who first raised this question expressed his protest.
"Tsk. Okay, Shi Junde, it's meaningless for you to talk nonsense here if nothing has happened." Li Tielin was unwilling to answer this question, so he could only shut up "thorn-head" Shi Junde as the captain.
Shi Junde still wanted to speak, but was stopped by the goalkeeper Yu Zhiming next to him. He lowered his voice and said in Shi Junde's ear: "Don't embarrass our captain..."
Shi Junde then muttered unhappily: "I don't care whether he is the captain of the national team or not. I don't know him well..."
Li Tielin frowned when he saw this, but in the end he said nothing.
The team's current performance is not very good, everyone has a temper, and there is a lot of pressure.
When the team was promoted to the Chinese Premier League, it was announced that its goal was to reach the Super League within three years.
This year is the last year of the goal, and the team now has to fight to avoid relegation, otherwise it will fall into the relegation zone. As for surpassing this goal, it has already failed.
Under such circumstances, it seems that anything can stir up excitement in the locker room.
Some fans may think that joining a big-name player like Qin Lin should be a good thing for Flash Star, right?
But from the perspective of the former Flash Star players, this may not be the case.
After all, is the club promoting a new player with such great fanfare just to have him come on the bench?
Now that he is here, he will play the main role, which will definitely affect the position of the existing main midfielders.
And Shi Junde is the main player of the current team. His concern for Li Tielin's captain's armband may be more due to his worries about the position conflict between himself and Qin Lin...
Wang Guangwei was in the locker room and saw all this scene.
But he did not speak, but remained a quiet observer.
There are indeed so many differences between professional teams and high school teams.
In the high school football team, everyone is mostly running for the same goal. It is relatively simple. Even if there are some personal Xiao Jiujiu, it does not hurt the harmony. Moreover, he has a high status in the Jiaxiang High School football team, even if someone has
Xiao Jiujiu, that's not directed at him, his perception is not strong.
But after coming to a professional team, everyone here has their own little calculations, and everyone has to consider their own interests in every possible way. The situation is a hundred times more complicated than when it was in school.
This is normal, and Wang Guangwei understands this. Because professional players in professional teams depend on this for their livelihood. If you don’t consider your own interests, you will have no job. Who will be responsible if you starve to death without a job?
Wang Guangwei went from the Shining Star youth team to the first team, and he also witnessed the elimination mechanism of professional football - among the players who were in the youth team with him, some came to the Shining Star youth team earlier than him, but in the end they failed to get the support from the club.
With a professional contract, the only option is to leave the team and go to other teams.
Some people are lucky and can get a contract and play games by changing teams. Some people have traveled many places but have never been able to get the favor of professional clubs. No one even wants them in the second league, so they can only retire sadly.
As for what these retired people did later, Wang Guangwei doesn't know.
Now that football has become a profession and a job related to one's own survival, should we continue to use love to generate electricity if we don't consider ourselves?
Just seeing this scene, Wang Guangwei felt worried for Hu Lai.
Qin Lin, Brother Lin is not worried. After all, not everyone is Shi Junde, and not everyone has a direct conflict of interest with Qin Lin. Besides, Brother Lin has been struggling in the Chinese professional football world for so many years.
, what scene have you not seen before? If he couldn't even handle this, he wouldn't be able to become the captain of both the national team and the South China Tigers.
That is the man called "the last big boss of Chinese football" by the media.
To put it bluntly, Shi Junde said this in the locker room and everyone could still listen. If he dared to say it in front of the media, he would probably be scolded by the media and fans. After all, in terms of performance, ten of him can’t compare with one
Qin Lin compared it.
But Hu Lai is different.
As the weakest and least famous of the three, he suddenly came to this unfamiliar team. How should he integrate into the team, and how should he face the possible "hostility"?
Counting Hu Lai, the team now has six players on the front line of the first team, not counting Leng Jinyu, a versatile player who can play both midfield and forward.
The Stars are currently playing in a dual forward configuration. With so many people competing for two positions, you can imagine how fierce the competition is.
Moreover, Hu Lai is not the kind of all-rounder who is particularly useful in tactics. He has positions in the middle and on the road.
The most suitable position for him should be in the middle.
Distinctive features also mean that the features are single and the range of choices is smaller...
In fact, last night Wang Guangwei saw a Flash Star fan in the Flash Star forum who said he didn’t understand why Flash Star had so many forwards, so why would they spend money to buy someone from the youth team? Then someone checked and told him,
This is because Hu Lai was Zhao Kangming's subordinate when he was in the Poseidon Youth Team.
But the person who asked the question still didn’t understand. If Hu Lai was already someone who had played in the first team, it would be reasonable for Zhao Kangming to recruit his old subordinates. But Hu Lai was clearly someone who hadn’t even made it out of the youth team yet.
As a person, Zhao Kangming is very fascinated by this operation...
When Wang Guangwei saw the fans' questions, he could only be speechless.
Although he has always felt that Hu Lai is talented, after all, he and Hu Lai have only played against each other once, and Hu Lai came on as a substitute. Apart from that, he has only watched Hu Lai in one complete game.
, it was the Anton Cup semi-final between Dongchuan Middle School and Jiaxiang High School. That was almost two years ago.
As for Hu Lai's current level, he honestly doesn't know.
Based on this judgment, Wang Guangwei was so surprised when he saw Hu Lai joining Flash Star. He wondered if Hu Lai didn't know the situation at Flash Star, so he was summoned by his mentor in the youth training camp with a phone call...
…
※※※
When Li Tielin was explaining to his teammates in the locker room, head coach Zhao Kangming also met the three new players Qin Lin, Hu Lai and Xu Wentao in his office. As the head coach, he welcomed them on behalf of the coaching staff.
In fact, everyone has already met at yesterday's welcome ceremony.
But the meaning is different.
The welcome in the training base and the welcome in the VIP lounge of the home stadium are two different concepts.
There were media on site at that time, but now there are only four of them in the office, so the topics discussed are naturally more personal and direct.
Facing Qin Lin, Zhao Kangming spread his hands and said: "Qin Lin, the captain of Flash Star is elected by the players themselves, so..."
Qin Lin knew what the head coach was going to say and quickly waved his hand: "I'm not here to be the captain, Director Zhao. I will cooperate with the current captain and deputy captain to do a good job."
Seeing Qin Lin's attitude, Zhao Kangming also smiled and nodded.
In fact, Qin Lin was really not what he wanted to recruit - he didn't consider poaching the South China Tiger at all - but the opinion of the club's general manager Dong Wen. Dong Wen may have considered more about brand building. But since the general manager
The manager made the decision, and Zhao Kangming, the head coach, naturally accepted it and tried his best to cooperate. After all, in Chinese football clubs, the general manager has the final say on things like team transfer operations.
Zhao Kangming took the opportunity to ask the club to buy another striker.
Although Dong Wen was a little surprised that the team had no shortage of forwards now, why would they still buy forwards? But when he thought that Zhao Kangming had cooperated with him in bringing in Qin Lin and made things go smoothly, he naturally wanted to reciprocate the favor.
He agreed with Zhao Kangming's opinion and left the whole matter of recruiting forwards to Zhao Kangming without any further intervention.
It wasn't until Zhao Kangming told him the name of the forward he wanted to introduce that he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard of this name before...
Hu Lai watched Zhao Kangming turn to Xu Wentao and talk to him, and his eyes fell on Director Zhao's hair.
Forty-six-year-old Director Zhao is not old in the coaching profession. When he was in the Poseidon Club youth training camp, he still had black hair.
But less than half a year later, when they met again, Hu Lai saw Director Zhao as if he had aged ten years. Not to mention his gray hair, there were obviously more wrinkles on his face than when he was in the Poseidon Youth Team.
There is always a hint of bitterness between Director Zhao's eyebrows.
After Hu Lai decided to come to Flash Star, he also paid more attention to this team. Naturally, he knew why Director Zhao made such a change.
The pressure on professional teams is really not that great...
In front of Qin Lin and Xu Wentao, Zhao Kangming didn't say anything to Hu Lai. He just asked briefly, such as whether he still adapts to here.
Hu Lai asked back: "Director Zhao, I am from Anton, why should I adapt to it?"
So Zhao Kangming burst out laughing and patted his forehead.
※※※
On the way to the team's locker room, Zhao Kangming deliberately dragged himself behind and whispered to Hu Lai: "I'm sorry, Hu Lai. When I asked you to come, I didn't expect that I would be in such a situation in Flash Star...
"
Hu Lai glanced at him: "You're leaving right after I arrived, right?"
Zhao Kangming waved his hands quickly: "That's not the case. I signed a three-year contract with Flash Star. If Flash Star wants to drive me away, they will have to pay me a lot of money. I don't think they can bear it..."
Hu Lai rolled his eyes: "It really caused the team to be relegated. Do you think they are reluctant to let it go?"
"Can't you say something nice?"
"Director Zhao, let's stop being polite, right?"
"Is this a question of whether to be polite or not?" Zhao Kangming sighed softly, "I thought coaching the first team was too simple at first. But now I have a feeling. As long as I can successfully avoid relegation this season, I will be able to coach the first team next season.
He must still be coaching the team. But if he can't produce results next season... then it's hard to say. But this is not something you should worry about. You train under me, as long as you are willing to do the same as when you were in Poseidon.
With hard work and training in professional games, the improvement will be obvious. Even if I am no longer in Flash Star, you can still have a place here or go to other teams based on your own strength."
Hu Lai was a little moved when he heard what Zhao Kangming said.
Director Zhao was the first Bole he met after coming to the professional team. From the first time Director Zhao came to see him after the national competition, the two of them had a feeling that they had met each other too late.
Although Gui is a former international player and a middle-aged man who is almost old enough to be Hu Lai's father, Hu Lai feels very comfortable getting along with Director Zhao, both in terms of personality and philosophy.
Director Zhao has no airs and is very accurate about his own talent - here comes a question, why did Hu Lai insist on going to Poseidon Club in the first place?
Just because after Director Zhao met Hu Lai, he said something almost exactly the same as what Li Qingqing said to him.
He said to Hu Lai: "You are very talented, you inherently know the direction of the goal!"
Although Director Zhao also talked a lot, such as introducing to him his achievements in Poseidon Youth Training, the level of Poseidon Club’s youth training in China, and Poseidon Club’s various software and hardware conditions...
But Hu Lai didn't listen to these words. Just that sentence made him determined to go to the team where Director Zhao is, because Director Zhao understands him. And what a blessing it is to meet a coach who understands him.
Fortunately, Hu Lai knows very well.
Of course, no one could have predicted what would happen next... In fact, Hu Lai didn't blame Director Zhao for leaving suddenly. After all, Director Zhao could not decide on the high-level line issue.
Now I heard these heartfelt words from Director Zhao... He asked him to come to Flash Star because he was worried that his stay in the Poseidon Youth Team would be delayed by Sun He. In fact, he didn't expect that he could be of any help to him.
There are Poseidon fans on the Internet who describe themselves and Director Zhao as "like father and son." However, Hu Lai feels that these people are talking nonsense - Director Zhao understands and cares for me much better than my biological father!
At this moment, Hu Lai suddenly heard the emotionless voice in his mind: "Task: express gratitude to Director Zhao with practical actions. Task reward: unknown."
Hu Lai was stunned.
What is the unknown mission reward?
This was the first time he encountered this situation.
As for the mission itself... what kind of practical actions can be regarded as expressing gratitude to Director Zhao?
Thinking of this, Hu Lai cast his eyes on Director Zhao, and then suddenly said solemnly to Zhao Kangming: "Thank you, Director Zhao!"
Zhao Kangming was confused by Hu Lai's sudden thank you. The two of them had rarely said such words before, and he did not need Hu Lai to express his gratitude to him.
When Director Zhao was stunned, Hu Lai was also stunned because the system did not prompt him that the task was completed...
It seems that just saying thank you cannot complete the task.
Thinking of this, Hu Lai stopped again, bowed deeply to Director Zhao next to him, and said at the same time: "Thank you, Director Zhao!"
His movement attracted the attention of Qin Lin and Xu Wentao in front of him, and they turned back to look at him in surprise.
Zhao Kangming finally came to his senses, his eyes widened and he said: "What? I told you, we don't get along like this! You are a player, I am the coach, and it is my job for me to teach you!"
Hu Lai is still thinking that he has not completed the task even though he bowed. Does he really have to kneel down to thank Director Zhao in front of everyone to "express his gratitude to Director Zhao with practical actions"?
But seeing that Director Zhao was really angry and didn't like what he did, he gave up the idea of kneeling down to thank Director Zhao.
It's just... Hu Lai was also confused as to how to complete the task.
Because he was deeply impressed by Hu Lai at the welcome ceremony yesterday, Qin Lin, who got to know Hu Lai a little bit last night, naturally knew the relationship between Hu Lai and head coach Zhao Kangming. Seeing Hu Lai respecting his mentor so much, Qin Lin couldn't bear it.
Zhu nodded slightly in approval.
Xu Wentao, who was unaware of the relationship between Zhao Kangming and Hu Lai, looked at this scene dumbfounded. He did not expect that Hu Lai would do anything to please the head coach.
Thinking back to the flattery he gave Qin Lin at the welcome ceremony, Xu Wentao couldn't help but sigh in his heart about this kid...
