Zhao Kangming discussed with Chen Mo in his office how the team would adjust next if Zhang Qinghuan is reimbursed for the season.
Then I heard a knock on the door from outside.
"Come in."
After the door was pushed open, the two people in the room were a little surprised: "Hu Lai, what are you doing here?"
It was Hu Lai who walked in through the door.
Hu Lai put on a smile and said: "Director Zhao, Director Chen, I want to know how Zhang Qinghuan's injury... is going?"
His words surprised the two coaches, and they looked at each other.
Zhao Kangming said: “We don’t know the result yet.”
Hu Lai was a little disappointed.
Chen Mo asked curiously: "Why are you so concerned about Zhang Qinghuan's injury, Hu Lai?"
Hu Lai scratched his head: "Didn't I tell him to persuade him to turn back?"
Both coaches were surprised: "You really want to..."
Hu Lai nodded: "Yes, I really want to save him."
Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Zhao Kangming's cell phone rang, and he picked it up: "Hello, Dr. Yang? Yes, how do you say it? Zhang Qinghuan..."
Hu Lai, who was still standing in the office when he heard Director Zhao mention the name "Zhang Qinghuan", immediately pricked up his ears and moved a few steps forward, wanting to eavesdrop on the content of the phone call.
Zhao Kangming was concentrating on the phone and didn't see it. Chen Mo glanced at Hu Lai and noticed his little movement.
The phone calls are still going on over there.
"Oh, is that so? That's good, that's good..." Zhao Kangming was obviously relieved when he spoke.
Chen Mo and Hu Lai both stared at him. Judging from his expression and tone, it seemed that it should be good news?
"Okay, thank you Dr. Yang. Sorry to trouble you. Goodbye. Keep in touch."
When Zhao Kangming hung up the phone, he saw two pairs of bright eyes staring at him.
Seeing that Chen Mo and Hu Lai both care so much about Zhang Qinghuan, especially Hu Lai, this matter is actually not his business at all. It seems that the relationship between him and Zhang Qinghuan is not very good...
So he smiled at the two of them and said, "Doctor Yang said on the phone that Zhang Qinghuan's test results came out and the ligaments were not torn."
Hearing what he said, Chen Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, but Hu Lai was still staring at Director Zhao.
"But it also takes fifteen days of rest before I can return to the court."
He couldn't play two games in fifteen days, but Chen Mo still nodded with satisfaction: "This is already a very good result. After seeing his performance in the game yesterday, I finally feel a little hopeful."
"Well, actually this injury is related to his lack of high-intensity training before. Otherwise, he could have avoided it in time, but his body reaction was still a little slow." Zhao Kangming nodded.
"Old Zhao, Zhang Qinghuan has actually been training seriously for a month before this. Although one month cannot make up for the three years he missed, it is still a good trend. I think we can ask the club to reconsider its decision on him.
Come on. This prodigal son...is finally going to look back, right?"
Chen Mo asked Zhao Kangming, but suddenly a young voice beside him said: "That's wrong."
Only then did Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo realize that Hu Lai was still in the office... and it was Hu Lai who spoke out against the assistant coach.
"What's wrong?" Chen Mo stared.
Of course Hu Lai couldn't say that because he hadn't received any prompt from the system to complete the task, so it was obvious that Zhang Qinghuan had not truly turned back.
Faced with the assistant coach's question, he could only say: "Coach Chen, how can it be so easy to turn back the prodigal? Otherwise, that guy Zhang Qinghuan would have turned back eight lifetimes ago... Didn't he become more honest after his first drunk driving?
For a period of time? What happened next? So it’s too early to say that he turned back.”
Chen Mo reflexively wanted to refute the kid in front of him, but he immediately realized that Hu Lai was right.
Zhao Kangming beside him also nodded slightly, and then suddenly asked: "Then what do you think is the true prodigal son's return? I also know that the performance in a short period of time is not convincing. But now there are only two months left before the end of the season.
Months' time, in other words, we only have two months to examine him, and then we have to decide whether to buy him out. Two months is not a short time, but it is not long, so he will be in these two months.
Does Li’s performance count as a prodigal son’s return?”
Chen Mo glanced at his old partner in surprise. He actually asked Hu Lai this question seriously. Was he asking Hu Lai for help, or was he testing him in school?
Hu Lai didn't expect that the head coach would ask him seriously. He realized that Director Zhao was probably not joking with him, so he thought deeply.
He actually doesn't care whether Zhang Qinghuan's performance in the past two months can be regarded as a prodigal son turning back. It is not his purpose to judge this matter. His purpose is to make Zhang Qinghuan a prodigal son turn back. As long as I let him turn back like a prodigal son, then that's it.
Is it definitely the return of the prodigal son? Judgment criteria? Of course the system has the final say!
But how can we make him turn back?
Now that he is injured, will it have any impact on his mood?
What on earth was he thinking while lying in the hospital bed?
Will you regret your indulgence?
Will you be unwilling to do so?
At this time, he suddenly thought of what Mr. Qin Lin said to him before. He said this about Zhang Qinghuan:
"Zhang Qinghuan used to be very confident, but not arrogant. Now Zhang Qinghuan is very arrogant, but no longer confident."
How can a person who is no longer confident be arrogant? How can he become arrogant again?
It can only be a bluff, just superficial, right?
This kind of pride is more like a disguise... Pretending that you are still very powerful, pretending that you are still the super genius...
He could only rely on this false pride to hold himself up in front of everyone.
What if all his pride is shattered?
After this idea popped into Hu Lai's mind, he couldn't suppress it. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.
But how to break his pride?
Hu Lai thought again of the fallen geniuses he had seen in that time and space.
None of them were shocked when they were born, and everyone firmly believed that they would have a bright future. However, due to various reasons, they disappeared from everyone, and then there was no news again.
When I heard their names again, I either heard that they had retired, or it was in some social news.
It's very sad.
For example, there is a Chinese player who was the first Chinese player to join a wealthy European team, and the transfer fee also set a record. Everyone was optimistic about his future in a wealthy team, but until he retired, he could not make it.
Realize your talents.
In the second half of his career, for most of the time, he became synonymous with the phenomenon of "injuring Zhongyong" in Chinese football. He was ridiculed and insulted by countless people, and everyone used those tricks in various ways.
There are no jokes to tease him.
A man who was once a hero in the eyes of Chinese fans and a star of hope who had high hopes has become a joke and a clown in the eyes of everyone. The only meaning of his existence seems to be to let public opinion vent their dissatisfaction with Chinese football.
Especially when this super genius was reduced to the point where he couldn't even play for the Chinese League One team. He also ran to participate in a plastic surgery variety show, with a stiff smile on his face that was not clear whether it was caused by micro plastic surgery or nervousness.
Commenting on people's opinions is like watching a monkey in a zoo, being watched by a national audience.
At this time, the Chinese fans who had placed high hopes on him didn't even know whether to feel sad or funny.
This super genius finally announced his retirement just ten days before he turned thirty-one. I wonder how much relief and reluctance he felt at that time?
※※※
When Chen Mo was waiting a little impatiently, Hu Lai raised his head, looked at Zhao Kangming and said, "I don't know what kind of performance in two months would be considered a return of the prodigal son, but we can make him truly
The prodigal son returns."
Zhao Kangming smiled and asked: "How can we make his real prodigal son come back?"
"Director Zhao, does Zhang Qinghuan know the result of his diagnosis?" Hu Lai did not answer, but asked a question.
"Not yet. Dr. Yang must obtain the club's consent before he can tell the player the specific injury." Zhao Kangming shook his head in response to Hu Lai's question.
"Then tell Zhang Qinghuan that his injury is too serious. Not only will he be reimbursed for this season, but all his subsequent professional seasons will be reimbursed!"
This time Zhao Kangming had a shocked expression on his face, and Chen Mo next to him exclaimed: "Are you kidding, Hu Lai!"
"I'm not kidding, Director Chen. People like Zhang Qinghuan have always thought highly of themselves and were too proud. Before, so many people told him the pros and cons and explained them with emotion and reason, but he didn't even listen, because
He always feels that with his talent, as long as he is a little more serious, he can play football that everyone cheers and praises - his previous experience seems to prove this. So it doesn't matter if he indulges now, he is still young and has plenty of time and
Opportunity...but what if he knows that his career is over?" The idea in Hu Lai's mind was mature, so he said it loudly and firmly.
When Chen Mo heard what he said, he also fell into thinking.
Hu Lai continued: "Isn't it said that 'when a person is about to die, his words are also good'? We can't let Zhang Qinghuan die, but for professional players, retirement is also death in a sense. If we let him know
He is about to retire, can he crush the hypocritical pride in his heart? Can he really start to reflect on his indulgence in the past few years? Can he change his mentality? After all, a talented player, at the age of twenty-three, can
Retiring at a young age, who could have imagined this? I’m afraid Zhang Qinghuan himself would never have imagined it. Under such a huge change in his life, would he risk his life and survive?"
Zhao Kangming was the first to recover from the shock. After hearing Hu Lai's words, he laughed: "It's interesting. But how can you guarantee that if you scare him with retirement, he will change his ways? Or, you can just
Aren't you worried that he will be so shocked by this news that he will give up on himself and be completely broken?"
In front of Zhao Kangming, Hu Lai was very relaxed. He shrugged and told the truth: "I don't know if he can really change his ways. But this is the only way I can think of. If he really wants to break the pot,
Damn, that's his own choice. If you tell him about retirement then you'll all be lying to him, but the club will definitely not buy him out anymore. He can go wherever he likes, from now on.
It has nothing to do with Flash Star Club. You also saved the transfer fee, didn't you? But if he can really regain his life from the excitement of retirement, won't the club make money? Anyway, the club will not lose anything.
Why not give it a try?"
After speaking, Hu Lai looked at Zhao Kangming and stopped talking.
At the same time, what he was thinking in his mind was that if he really failed, his loss would be nothing more than not being able to get the mission reward. But he didn’t have any [Lingxi Card] before, didn’t he get to where he is today? So he couldn’t get the mission reward.
If he can't get the mission reward, he just loses something he doesn't have in the first place. In fact, he loses nothing.
If Zhang Qinghuan is determined to seek death, then let him rot in the mud. Anyway, there is no shortage of shooting stars like him in Chinese football.
I am not the Virgin, I have to sacrifice myself to save others...
After Hu Lai finished speaking, the office fell into silence for a while. Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo both said nothing and lowered their heads in deep thought.
At this moment, the door to the head coach's office was suddenly pushed open, and general manager Dong Wen squeezed in.
He seemed to want to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he saw Hu Lai standing in the room.
He didn't expect to see players in the head coach's office before the team trained, and he was stunned for a moment.
Dong Wen doesn't hate this young man. After all, he has solved big problems for the team, scored so many goals, and is a local player with his own household registration aura. Dong Wen will not give Hu Lai anything at this time in this place.
Look at it with a stern face.
Although he was worried, he still smiled and said hello to Hu Lai: "It's Hu Lai."
"Hello, Manager Dong." Hu Lai returned the greeting politely.
Dong Wen nodded and stopped looking at him. Instead, he turned his attention to Zhao Kangming and said straight to the point: "I just received a call from Lao Yang. Did he tell you?"
Chen Mo nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Zhao Kangming jumped in front of him and said with a frown: "I told you, he said that Zhang Qinghuan is seriously injured and may have to retire early..."
Dong Wen:???
Chen Mo glanced at Lao Zhao.
Zhao Kangming looked at Hu Lai: "You go back first and prepare for training. You don't need to say a word to anyone else about what you heard here today, not even your roommate."
When Hu Lai heard Director Zhao's words, he knew that Director Zhao had already made a decision and planned to adopt his own plan.
So he covered his mouth with his hand: "Don't worry, Director Zhao, I didn't hear anything!"
After saying goodbye to Dong Wen and Chen Mo respectively, he rushed out of the office, closing the door completely before leaving to ensure that the voices of the three people inside would not be heard by people outside.
Turning to look at Hu Lai and closing the door, Dong Wen asked the question in his mind: "What's going on, Lao Zhao? Didn't you say there's no big problem? Just ten days and a half of training will be enough..."
Zhao Kangming looked at him and asked: "Manager Dong, I would like to ask, a Zhang Qinghuan who can return to his previous level... no, return to 80% of his previous level. Just like in yesterday's game, he might
Breakthroughs are no longer good, and his explosive power has declined, but he still has excellent football awareness and ball feel, and his imaginative passing is still there. He can perform better with good practice... Zhang Qinghuan like that, the club is still willing to have him
?"
Dong Wen opened his mouth slightly and looked at Zhao Kangming with a confused expression.
