Matt Dawn put his cell phone in his coat pocket and held it in his hand.
He just watched again the video saved on his phone of LaiHu scoring five goals in nine minutes.
This is not the kind of collection that is pieced together after post-editing, but a complete video starting from Hu Lai's first goal, until he scored the fifth goal, with no cuts in the middle, and accompanied by the original sound of the scene.
Explanation.
It can be said to be the best video to illustrate the strength of LaiHu.
He plans to show this video to Tony Clark, and then convince him to try to sign Hu Lai. He believes that this can greatly alleviate Hammond Castle's current scoring problem.
The team has been in the relegation zone for a long time due to its weak offense. If they can't find a way out, they may sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire...
Hammond Castle used to be a Premier League team, but now the team does not consider the Premier League and only needs to remain in the English Championship.
He knocked on the door of the head coach's office and said in an exciting voice as soon as he entered: "Hey, Tony, I have something to show you. I tell you, you must see it..."
"Let me guess, is it your LaiHu?" Tony Clark, who was standing behind his desk and packing his things, didn't even raise his head.
"That's right! Did you know? In a U23 Asian Cup game that just ended, he scored five goals in just nine minutes! Although this was a game for the U23 age group, such a performance
It's still amazing! I have the entire process of him scoring five goals, uncut video!" Matt Dawn said and handed over the mobile phone in his pocket.
But Tony Clark did not answer, but continued to bury his head in sorting things: "Sorry, Matt. I'm afraid I'm not free now."
"It's okay, you are busy first... Uh, what are you doing?" Matt said as he noticed Tony picked up the small statue on the table and put it into a backpack placed on the chair.
"As you can see, Matt, I'm 'packing up and leaving.'" Tony said as he inserted a photo of himself and club president "Old Tom" Tom Chichester next to the statue.
In the bag.
"Why... pack up and go?" Matt was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came back to his senses. He exclaimed, "No! The club can't do this!"
He finally realized that his good friend Tony Clark, who had only played for Hammond Castle his entire career, had been fired by his beloved club!
"Shh, Matt. Keep your voice down. I haven't notified anyone yet. I don't want there to be people outside the door when I leave." Tony Clark made a gesture, then spread his hands, "
Of course the club can do that. I am the head coach of the team, but looking at where our team is now, in order to avoid the team being relegated, of course they can change a head coach."
"But this is not your problem alone. We have encountered a serious wave of injuries this season, and there are still seven people on the injury list! We need signings to supplement our strength, but the club has done so in this winter transfer window.
What? Nothing! No... they can't do this! 'Old Tom' has just been buried less than a week ago, they can't make such a decision at this time! Even if Evan is the Chairman of Tom Chichester
Not even my son!" Matt Dawn became excited.
So much so that Tony Clark had to put down what he was doing and come up to stop him: "What you said may make sense, Matt. But as a head coach, when the team's performance is not good, he does need to take the main responsibility.
.And I proposed the resignation myself.”
Matt looked at Tony blankly.
Tony patted him on the shoulder: "Just half an hour ago, I talked with Evan and we reached an agreement. I have coached this team for four years, but I have never been able to lead the team.
Returning to the Super League. This shows that I can no longer continue to lead this team forward. Hammond Castle needs to change to a more capable head coach than me. And I myself, perhaps should also jump out of my familiar environment and go to
Look outside."
After saying that, he turned around and went to pack his things.
Matt watched him walk to the bookshelf and put the Championship Coach of the Month trophies into his backpack one by one. He said sadly: "I wanted to suggest to you to convince the club to buy LaiHu. I believe he can
Someone who helped our team get out of this situation ... but now it doesn't make sense."
"No, Matt, it still makes sense. You can suggest to my successor that you sort out all the information you collected about LaiHu and form a detailed scouting report for him. Maybe he will listen to you.
suggestion."
Matt Down was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I will, Tony. But I can't guarantee he'll take the advice of a video analyst instead of a full-time scout."
"You have to try. No matter whether it is successful or not, you always have to recommend giving it a try. As for whether to listen or not, that is the head coach's right. He can listen or not. You can't control this."
Matt sighed: "That's the only way it can be."
While talking, Tony Clark had already packed his things. He put on his backpack, stood in front of Matt, and looked at him: "I'm very happy to meet you at Hammond Castle, Matt. Although I no longer
He is now the head coach of Hammond Castle, but we will still be friends, right?"
Matt drooped his head and nodded listlessly: "Of course, we will. We have always been friends, Tony. Even if you go to Portsmouth Athletic, it will not affect our relationship."
Portsmouth Athletic is the derby rival of Hammond Castle, both teams are in Portsmouth.
Tony Clark laughed when he heard this: "Don't worry, Matt. I won't go there. Although I will no longer be the head coach of Hammond Castle, I will always be Hammond Castle."
Man, I will always support Hammond Castle too.”
Matt said nothing.
Upon seeing this, Tony Clark stepped forward and held his hand: "I want to thank you, Matt. You helped me a lot during your time as the team's video analyst. I admire you very much.
Ability in this area. I believe you can continue to help Hammond Castle in the best way you can. I wish you good luck, Matt."
"I wish you good luck, too, Tony. The world outside is bigger, but there are more dangers. No matter what, I will support you."
"Bye Matt, I have to go say goodbye to the others."
"Goodbye, Tony."
Under his gaze, Tony Clark opened the office door and walked out.
Matt sighed softly.
He looked down at the phone in his hand again.
If I had been bolder last summer and recommended this young man to Tony, could I have changed the fate of the team and Tony?

"Old Zhao, guess whose call I just received?"
Zhao Kangming was sitting in his office when he heard a voice outside the door. At the same time, the ajar door was pushed open, and a fat figure squeezed in from the outside.
It is Dong Wen, the general manager of the club.
"Is it a media reporter who wants to interview?" Zhao Kangming asked.
After Hu Lai completed a wonderful performance of five goals in nine minutes in the U23 Asian Cup, their mobile phones suddenly became busy.
He himself has received various calls in the past two days.
"No, no. It belongs to Lu Heng!"
Zhao Kangming was stunned for a moment: "Why is he calling you?"
"Of course he came to me to ask about the price. He asked me how much I could sell Hu Lai to their South China Tigers. Old Zhao, do you think Lu Heng has something wrong with him? He came to buy Hu Lai at this juncture. He really
Do you think we will sell it?" Dong Wen said proudly.
Zhao Kangming shook his head: "That's hard to say, Old Dong. I guess in Xue Chaoyu's eyes, you were almost the same as Lu Heng today."
Dong Wen's expression froze.
After Shining Star defeated Dashun Golden Arrow to win the FA Cup, he went to find Xue Chaoyu, the opponent's general manager, and tried to buy Chen Xingyi out directly. Of course, he was directly rejected by the other party: "
Want Chen Xingyi? Well, let’s trade it with Hu Lai!”
At that time, Dong Wen launched the live broadcast room with a curse... No, it was the end of the exchange with Golden Arrow.
Zhao Kangming laughed when he saw that Dong Wen was frustrated: "But Lu Heng actually reminded you, old Dong. You may want to consider renewing a contract with Hu Lai."
"We just signed a new contract before the start of last season..."
"It's one moment and another. Do you think Hu Lai can be happy with the current salary conditions? Today Lu Heng of the South China Tigers still called you. What if the managers of other Chinese Super League clubs go directly to Hu Lai tomorrow?
?”
Dong Wen's expression did not change, but his eyes started to move.
"I heard that Hu Lai bought a new house for his parents in Dongchuan. It seems that he basically spent all his money. He needs money very much now..."
Dong Wen slapped his thigh: "Old Zhao, I know. When he comes back from the U23 Asian Cup, I will negotiate a new contract with him."
Although signing a new contract every year sounds a bit unbelievable.
But considering that the signing target is Hu Lai, who just scored five goals in nine minutes of the game, it seems to be understandable no matter how incredible it is...

"...And this young player who set a world record was originally trained by the Poseidon Club's youth team. In other words, Hu Lai should have been a Poseidon player. After watching Hu Lai's series of performances, it is inevitable that Poseidon fans can’t help but think: How great would it be if Hu Lai could still be a Poseidon player? Unfortunately, there are no ifs in life, and football does not believe in assumptions. Because of differences on the club’s development strategy, Poseidon Club not only We lost an excellent coach and also lost such an outstanding talented player..."
The passage that Zhang Qiang is staring at was written by Gao Youjun, a reporter from the Lingnan Evening News. The article he wrote seemed to be reporting on Hu Lai's five goals in nine minutes, but at the end it included such a private paragraph. …
Zhang Qiang just doesn’t understand. It’s obviously a local media, but why is it so keen on promoting its own local team?
When did Lingnan Evening News become the mouthpiece of the South China Tiger?
He can't just sit back and ignore it, otherwise this kind of public opinion will slowly ferment and eventually become out of control.
The main reason is that Hu Lai is really powerful and can always create some topics that make him the object of much attention.
After the FA Cup final last year, it was obviously a conflict between Hu Lai and Wang Xianke. As a result, the Poseidon Club was dragged out and criticized by many media. It was really innocent. I even fired Sun He's grandson, why are you still causing trouble for me? ?
Now that the Flash Stars have been promoted to the Chinese Super League, the two teams have another opportunity to talk directly, and the topic of Hu Lai will definitely be brought up again and again.
In order to avoid embarrassment at that time, Zhang Qiang decided to strike first.
He took out his mobile phone and called his staff: "Send someone to contact Hu Lai's agent...what? Hu Lai doesn't have an agent? How did he renew his contract with the club without an agent? Check it out, there must be someone representing him and Club negotiations!”
After he hung up the phone, he quickly received the feedback from his subordinates. After all, this matter was not a secret. Anyone who was interested could find it out.
The person who negotiated contract renewal with the club on behalf of Hu Lai was Yong Jun, who was Zhang Qinghuan's agent.
Zhang Qiang looked at the phone number reported back by his subordinates, thought about it, and decided to call the agent himself to show his concern.
He picked up the phone.
※※※
Yong Jun, wearing a black suit, stood in front of a tombstone. Beside him, there were hundreds of such tombstones, densely arranged on the hillside.
This is a cemetery on the outskirts of the capital.
The tombstone opposite him belongs to Zhang Qinghuan's father.
"Lao Zhang, your son finally returned to the Chinese Super League and the national team... A lot of things happened in the past season... Remember what I told you last time to help your son get back on track? Is he a child in the future? It turns out that the child’s father turned out to be a former professional player, but unfortunately he retired prematurely due to injury and did not leave his name in the history of Chinese football..."
In the quiet cemetery, Yong Jun murmured in a low voice, as if he was afraid that he and his old friends would disturb the surrounding neighbors.
But at this moment, the cell phone he put in his trouser pocket suddenly emitted a harsh ringtone, breaking the tranquility in the cemetery.
The interrupted Yong Jun took out his cell phone, glanced at the unfamiliar number, and hung up the phone without hesitation. Then he put the phone back and continued to speak to Zhang Qinghuan's father's tombstone:
"...At the awards ceremony of the Chinese League One last season, that kid came on stage to give a speech of thanks..."
The ringtone of the cell phone rang suddenly again, interrupting what Yong Jun was about to say and his emotions.
He angrily took out his cell phone and saw that it was still an unfamiliar number, so he refused the call without saying a word and also added the number to the blacklist.
After doing all this, he took a deep breath and was silent for ten seconds. He regained his emotions before continuing:
"When he said, 'Failure is his father's success,' I could clearly see the pride on his face through the TV broadcast. Your son was the first to shout out and cheer for him. I didn't know
Did he think of you at that time? Anyway, I thought of you, Lao Zhang. That kid Qinghuan is different from before. He lost some things, but he also learned some things. He also gained a group of friends. Now
He lives a happy life almost every day, but I can still feel the regret in his heart. He really hopes that his efforts can be seen by you today, and that you can continue to be proud of him...
"You know, Lao Zhang Qinghuan will celebrate every time he scores a goal with his hands in the sky. Although he has never explained the meaning of this celebration, I know that those goals are for you. He hopes that you will
Can see him in the sky. You will see it, right? You will also be proud of him, right? He is no longer a child who can't walk without you, he has grown up...
"Oh, by the way, Hu Lai scored five goals in nine minutes in the U23 Asian Cup just now. People on the Internet called him the '95 Supreme'... This has never been done by anyone in world football before, but
He did it. This kid is always good at creating miracles. Even I didn't expect that he could really make Qing Huan come back... You always said that you hope Qing Huan can lead the Chinese team to the World Cup, but the World Cup is still too far away
, but now I think Chinese football will go to the Olympics to experience it first... Although it is not the World Cup, it is still a good start... Chinese football is getting better and better, and maybe one day, it will really be able to participate in the World Cup.
?At that time, I will definitely tell you the good news as soon as possible...You must protect these young people from above!" Fastest update on PC::/
As soon as Yong Jun finished speaking, a gust of wind blew, and the pine trees surrounding the cemetery were swaying and the waves were sounding.
He raised his head and looked at this scene and smiled: "Okay, I'll take it as your promise!"
※※※
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unanswered, please call again later. Sorry..."
The fifth time Zhang Qiang put down his phone, he finally confirmed that it was not that no one answered the call he made, but that his phone number was blocked by the other party...
He originally wanted to contact Hu Lai's agent and make a big promise to him. As long as Hu Lai was willing to come to Poseidon, he would raise any conditions.
He was mentally prepared for the opponent's lion to open his mouth.
But I never expected that the other party would not talk to me at all, and refused so simply and completely!
He originally thought that after the club fired Sun He, it was a friendly signal to Hu Lai. We would see each other again in the future, and there was still a friendship. After all, Poseidon Club was indeed the place where Hu Lai made his debut, and it was the place that trained him.
Become a team of professional players.
But it seems that the other party doesn’t see it that way…
Zhang Qiang, who was originally prepared to play the emotional card, found that all his flirtatious looks were given to the blind man.
"Old Mother Throwing Thunder!"
As the general manager of one of the top six clubs in the Chinese Super League, Zhang Qiang is considered a respectable person not only in Nanling Football, but also in the entire Chinese football world. He still couldn't hold back and uttered a curse word in his office.
