Yu Jintao and Jorge Dillon finished CCTV’s exclusive interview with the famous coach Dillon, said goodbye to the film crew, and got in the car downstairs of the hotel to go home.
After getting in the car, the two of them kept waving to the staff outside with smiles on their faces.
But when the car drove out, Dillon put away his smile, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.
Yu Jintao sat next to him and turned to look at him several times. Finally he couldn't help but asked in Spanish: "Jorge, I'm very curious. When the CCTV reporter asked you to comment on Chen Xingyi's performance just now, you hesitated to speak.
Stopped for a moment..."
Dillon still closed his eyes: "Because I remembered that I was interviewed to speak nicely to the Chinese team, so I want to say something nice. Your country's TV station will definitely not want to spend money to hear me spoil their mood.
...You didn’t see how happy they were during the interview today!”
During the World Cup, CCTV fully grasped this big IP and interviewed a circle of football people across the country, including foreign teachers, retired players, celebrities, fans...etc., to hear what they thought of the Chinese team in this World Cup.
appeared.
Today it’s Dillon’s turn.
Dillon initially wanted to refuse, but after hearing that Yu Jintao said he would be paid for the interview, he agreed.
During the interview, Dillon praised the Chinese team's performance in the World Cup, which made both host and guest happy.
“You mean you are dissatisfied with Chen Xingyi’s performance?” Yu Jintao asked.
“I can’t say he is dissatisfied...but his performance is indeed not very good, especially compared with Hu Lai and Luo Kai.” Dillon shrugged.
“Don’t compare it to Jule. Isn’t that what you said, Jorge?”
"Okay, let's get rid of the highest score first...compared to Luo Kaibi, Chen Xingyi's performance is not outstanding. I'm not saying that he didn't play well, but it's not good enough. At least it was somewhat what I expected.
gap……"
“What do you expect?”
“He must be able to create a fatal threat when the Chinese team attacks.”
“Let me translate...it means at least a goal or an assist?” Yu Jintao asked.
"It doesn't have to be a goal or an assist. Yu, let me ask you. After watching the two games of the Chinese team, what do you think of Chen Xingyi's performance?" Jorge Dillon opened his eyes and turned to look at himself.
Translator and friend.
"I think... it's quite satisfactory." Yu Jintao thought for a while and said. After all, if you want to say it is good, he has neither scored nor assisted, and it cannot be said to be very good in terms of post-match ratings. But if it is bad,
...That's definitely not bad.
“It’s fair. Yes, it’s fair, neither good nor bad. But that’s the problem, Yu.” Dillon suddenly became interested in talking, and he sat up from the back of his chair.
"If Chen Xingyi is an ordinary player, then we should be satisfied with his performance. It is not easy to play like this in the World Cup for the first time. But is Chen Xingyi an ordinary player?
Me, you, and others, will they treat Chen Xingyi as an ordinary player?"
Yu Jintao wanted to interrupt but couldn't. Dillon was still speaking. His Spanish was already speaking very fast, and he spoke like a machine gun with a red barrel:
"No, he is not. He is considered by many to be the third talented player most likely to go out after Hu Lai and Luo Kai. He has high hopes, and everyone from the fans to the club is working hard to let him go out. In the World Cup
His performance determines whether he can go out, or in what capacity he can go out... In this way, a mediocre performance is a failure, a performance that is not outstanding is mediocre, and a performance that is not good enough is poor! Of course, ordinary players can be satisfied with playing in the game.
They are average and make no mistakes, but talented players, especially offensively gifted players, need to take risks in the game, they need to have creative performances, they need to be eye-catching, and they need to have some important moments that can be remembered...
…And Chen Xingyi doesn’t have any of these.”
Yu Jintao finally waited for Dillon to finish speaking, and he quickly asked: "Is it because the feedback from your European friends is not very good?"
"It's not just them. Of course, they did tell me that Chen Xingyi's performance in the World Cup was very mediocre... It's like selling goods. If you can't show the best quality of the goods, the most eye-catching
How can it be possible to convince consumers to pay for this part of the product?”
After listening to Dillon’s words, Yu Jintao fell into deep thought.
After a while, he asked: "So Jorge, what's wrong with Chen Xingyi?"
“What went wrong? Quite simply, he didn’t show what he was best at.”
“What…is he best at?”
“Yu, what do you think is Chen Xingyi’s greatest advantage?”
“Technique and speed?” Yu Jintao blurted out. These are also the two characteristics that left the deepest impression on people on the court.
At Golden Arrow, he plays on the left wing, and you can often see him using his personal skills and speed to attack with the ball, leaving defensive players behind.
"It's fast." Dillon said, "But it's not just about speed, it's about fast brains and fast movements."
Yu Jintao suddenly realized: "That's what you emphasized to him in training and competition, the rhythm."
"Yes. Rhythm. In the Chinese Super League, his rhythm is always faster than that of his opponents, so his performance is particularly outstanding. It's like in a film where the whole film is in slow motion, and a character appears who fast-forwards twice as fast.
, will it naturally attract everyone’s attention and attract attention?”
Yu Jintao nodded, that’s the reason. In today’s Chinese Super League, Chen Xingyi is the most active player in Dashun Golden Arrow. He not only wins the cheers of fans, but also often becomes the target of opponents.
In the past, when he was in Flash Star, although he was an important part of Flash Star Trident, he still couldn't compare to Hu Lai in terms of limelight. But in Golden Arrow, he was the team's number one star and the protagonist on the court.
.
This is partly because the person who attracted the most attention is no longer in the Chinese Super League, and partly because it is also inseparable from Chen Xingyi’s progress.
He is no longer the same as he was when he played for Flash Stars.
After Yu Jintao wanted to understand this truth, he asked: "Do you want to tell Chen Xingyi?"
He had good intentions, but he didn't expect Dillon to glare at him: "What did you say? He is playing in the national team now, and I am not the head coach of the national team. What did I say?"
"Uh... can't you tell him in a private capacity?"
“No.” Dillon firmly rejected the proposal. “This is out of respect for our colleagues.”
"Then Chen Xingyi..."
“Yu, do you look down on your own country’s coaches too much?” Dillon suddenly laughed.
"ah?"
“Don’t worry, I believe Shi must have realized this, and he will definitely help Chen Xingyi solve this problem.” After saying that, Dilong closed his eyes again and leaned back in his chair.
When Yu Jintao saw him like this, he knew that he didn't want to continue chatting with him, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
In the taxi, the silence suddenly returned to the previous state.

Chen Xingyi knocked on the door of Shi Wuyuan's room and asked, "Director Shi, are you looking for me?"
Shi Wuyuan waved to him in the room: "Yes, come in."
Chen Xingyi closed the door in confusion. He came here after being told by Director Shi to go back to the hotel at the end of training. But Director Shi did not say what he was looking for.
After Chen Xingyi walked in, Shi Wuyuan, who was sitting on the chair, raised his head slightly and looked at the slightly thin young man.
“Chen Xingyi, what do you think of your performance in this World Cup?”
Chen Xingyi did not expect that Director Shi would ask him such a question when he came in...
However, although he didn't understand why Coach Shi asked this, he knew how to answer it. Generally, when a head coach asks this question, he must be dissatisfied with his performance.
So he quickly lowered his eyebrows and said: "I don't feel good, please guide me..."
"Heh." Shi Wuyuan was happy when he heard this, "Why is it bad?"
"Uh..." Chen Xingyi racked his brains and didn't know how to answer.
Why is it bad...How do I know why it is bad?
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of Hu Lai, who scored two goals, and Luo Kai, who scored one goal. As the front three, both of them have scored goals, but he still has zero goals and no statistics at all.
He said: "Because I neither scored nor assisted..."
Shi Wuyin laughed out loud: "Good performance has no direct relationship with goals and assists. To be honest, Chen Xingyi, your performance is not bad."
While Chen Xingyi looked at the head coach in surprise, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Did he dare to give me guidance and find me for questioning?
But before he could even breathe out, he heard Shi Wuyuan say again: "But for you, Chen Xingyi, if your performance is not bad, it is considered a failure."
Chen Xingyi looked straight at Shi Wuyuan and said nothing.
“Think about it for yourself, is this the case? If you don’t have any ideas, then your current performance is indeed pretty good and completely acceptable. But maybe you don’t have any ideas?”
Chen Xingyi shook his head: "If you have an idea, give me guidance."
“That’s right. I’m telling the truth, Chen Xingyi. I don’t think you fully utilized your characteristics in the World Cup. You should know what your characteristics are that I’m talking about, right?”
Chen Xingyi thought about it seriously this time and remembered the words of the club's head coach Jorge Dillon: "I have a fast pace..."
Shi Wuyin was very happy that Chen Xingyi could figure it out. He smiled and said: "That's right. In our team, Hu Lai and Luo Kai are both players who have played in Europe. They have begun to have some European football elements.
For example, their consciousness is always faster than other people in our team. Sometimes they can think of things that we can't think of. This is what they gain from playing in Europe. Among domestic players, you are one of the few who can
Someone who keeps up with them.”
At this point, Shi Wuyin shook his head again: "But in the first two World Cup games, you just wanted to run faster and do a 100-meter sprint on the court. I think this was a waste of your ability. You should be able to
You did better, but you didn’t do it. This is what I’m dissatisfied with you about.”
Chen Xingyi lowered his head and didn't say a word. He didn't know what to say.
Because it is exactly as Shi Guiding said.
He should have done better, but didn't.
"I hope you can fully bring out your characteristics in the game against Brazil, Chen Xingyi. Your speed is not only reflected in speed. One step faster to observe, one step faster to think, one step faster to act... You are in Hall
Did He Dillon learn it in vain?"
Chen Xingyi quickly shook his head: "No, Director Shi. I have benefited a lot..."
"That's good. In the first two games, Hu Lai and Luo Kai have scored goals, but they are also being targeted by their opponents. At this time, you have to stand up."
“Don’t worry, Shi will guide me! I will work hard!”
Chen Xingyi suddenly had a clear direction for the future in his mind and knew how he should play in the next game.

When Chen Xingyi returned to his room, he found that Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei, and Xia Xiaoyu were all in the room, chatting and bragging with Brother Huan.
Seeing him, Hu Lai asked: "Hey, little star, what does Director Shi want from you? Did he criticize your performance of neither scoring nor assisting?"
When Chen Xingyi saw such a mean Hu Lai, he chuckled: "Hey. How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife? Director Shi asked me to go because he entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. He wanted me to do you when we play against Brazil."
Things that can’t be done!”
Hu Lai glanced at him suspiciously, and then said to the others: "Little Xingxing is bragging. Is there anything he can't do that we can't do?"
“Hurry up, I am!” Chen Xingyi poked himself with his thumb and said very proudly.
The group of people looked at each other in confusion. Xia Xiaoyu hesitated to speak. However, he looked at Brother Huan and Wang Guangwei who had playful expressions but did not say anything. He still closed his mouth.
In the end, Hu Lai raised his hand and patted Chen Xingyi on the shoulder: "Okay, we really can't do this as a quick shooter..."
Chen Xingyi opened Hu Lai's hand, then stretched out his hand to pinch his neck: "Hu Lai, your uncle!"
Zhang Qinghuan and Wang Guangwei finally shook out the laughter they had been holding back just now, while Xia Xiaoyu covered his face and laughed, and the room was filled with happy air...
