36. The new Ozil
The next day, the elder Costa took Zhang Sheng to the training base of the Corinthians club. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In preparation for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the Brazilian government is building a new large stadium in the eastern district of São Paulo, the Itaguerira, which will also become the home of Corinthians after the World Cup.
Corinthians' training base is about a 15-minute drive from the Itaguera Stadium. When passing by this stadium on the way, Zhang Sheng remembered the slow pace of Brazil's construction of this stadium, and the subsequent collapse incident that caused three deaths and many injuries in the construction of the stadium that attracted the attention of global fans, and he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, maybe the talent of Brazilians is focused on football.
At the training base, Zhang Sheng saw a large number of fans.
Corinthians have been in good form this year, with four games to go in the Brazilian league, three points ahead of second place Vasco da Gama and in the league leader's position, so the fans are very happy.
After entering the training base, Costa first took Zhang Sheng to the Corinthians' showroom, and the club's employees nodded to the old Costa along the way. Today is the open day of the showroom, and many fans and tourists are visiting the row room. In the Corinthians' showroom, Zhang Sheng saw countless trophies. The elder Costa also proudly introduced these trophies to Zhang Sheng.
After that, the elder Costa took Zhang Sheng to the club's office, where Zhang Sheng met with Andre Sanchez, the president of Corinthians.
Sanchez received Zhang Sheng very warmly, and Zhang Sheng also gave Sanchez a detailed introduction to his club. However, Sanchez did not show much interest, after all, the current Longteng team is only a second division team that has just participated in the Chinese professional league. However, Sanchez was very interested in Zhang Sheng's development of the Chinese market, and pointed out that the future contact with the Chinese market would be in charge of the old Costa. And agreed to let the old Costa go to China at a suitable time next year to inspect the situation of the Longteng team. After that, Sanchez asked the elder Costa to take Zhang Sheng on a tour of the club.
Zhang Sheng said to old Costa: "In this way, you take me to see the training ground of your club." At your Corinthians training base, I've played before. ”
Old Costa readily agreed.
Today is not Corinthians' team training day, the players are all on holiday, which makes Zhang Sheng a little disappointed that he didn't see specific players. However, on the other side of the training ground, there was a quarrel.
Zhang Sheng looked over and saw that a yellow-skinned young man was arguing with an employee in Corinthian Club overalls.
Old Costa frowned and walked over, and Zhang Sheng followed.
I only heard the yellow people say loudly in a not very standard Portuguese language: "If you don't let me try, why insult us Chinese and Chinese football."
Zhang Sheng also frowned when he heard this, Zhang Sheng, who had stayed in Brazil, knew that because of the long-term public opinion propaganda of the European and American media, in these countries in South America, don't look at their economy is inferior to China, their living standards are not as good as China's, and the public security is even worse than China, but the image of the Chinese they get from the media is negative. Therefore, the image of Chinese, ordinary people in South America is really poor, and many people think that China is even more backward than them.
Old Costa was also very embarrassed that such a thing happened because he was with Zhang Sheng by his side.
The club's employees saw the old Costa coming. Hurriedly saluted and said: "This Chinese (chink) actually wanted to try out in our club. I asked him to leave, and he quarreled with me. ”
Hearing the title of chink, the elder Costa was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly shouted: "Do you know what you are talking about? Apologize quickly, is such a racist title the coach of a young team should say?"
Then he hurriedly said to Zhang Sheng, who walked to his side: "I will deal with him." ”
Seeing Zhang Sheng next to the old Costa, it seemed that he was obviously also a Chinese, and the staff was also frightened, and said ugly things about China when the club's deputy general manager, the old Costa's Chinese friend, was present, making him embarrassed, and I don't know how the old Costa will deal with him after that.
The staff member stammered in fright, "Yes, I'm sorry, I just made a slip of the tongue, please believe me, sir." I definitely didn't mean to. Then he looked at Zhang Sheng with a begging face.
Zhang Sheng did not pity him, and adults should be responsible for what they said and did. Zhang Sheng knows that Brazil is a country of immigrants, but on the surface, the law's treatment of racial discrimination is very serious.
At this time, the young Chinese who had just spoken loudly seemed to understand the old Costa's words, although his Portuguese was not very good. He came over to Zhang Sheng and asked in Chinese, "Are you Chinese?"
"Yes, I am Chinese. Come and talk to the Corinthians Club about something. What's your name?, what just happened?" asked Zhang Sheng.
The young man hurriedly said: "My name is Qin Minghao, my parents are both doing business here in Brazil, and I am studying here in Brazil." I love playing football and have trained at a football school for a few years in China. I was thinking that football is developing in Brazil, so I went to a club for a tryout, who knew they didn't want me, and they said something insulting. There are many, many ugly things to say that we Chinese are only worthy of being slaves. Speaking of which, Qin Haoming became excited again.
Zhang Sheng comforted: "It's okay, next to me is the deputy general manager of the Corinthians Club, and he will deal with this matter." ”
I saw Zhang Sheng and Qin Minghao speaking in Chinese, and Zhang Sheng also signaled to himself. Although Old Costa didn't know what they were talking about, he probably knew that Zhang Sheng was explaining the relationship with him, and he also nodded.
After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, Old Costa said to Qin Minghao: "Young man, can you understand Portuguese?"
Qin Minghao nodded respectfully and said, "I can understand most of them." If you have anything to say, please say. ”
Old Costa praised: "A very polite lad. Then he turned his head and said, "What happened just now, you tell me honestly according to the real situation." ”
The staff recounted what had just happened.
Old Costa said to him very seriously: "You apologize to this young man, as a coach of a youth team, to say these words to a young man who loves football, and there is also racial discrimination, you should know the seriousness of the consequences." ”
The staff hurriedly apologized to Qin Haoming: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things just now." I beg your pardon. ”
Qin Minghao knew that this was a Corinthian's place after all, and the unique character of the Chinese who did not want to make trouble also made Qin Minghao take a step back, but he still said angrily: "If you apologize, I accept it for the time being, but I don't want to try out your club again." Then he turned to old Costa and Zhang Sheng and bowed, and said, "Thank you, then I'll go first." ”
Zhang Sheng nodded subconsciously, and then called up the system to look at Qin Minghao's information, age: 18 years old, position: midfield midfield ability value/potential value: 48/100, receiving the ball 47/100, passing 48/100, technique 46/100, vision 50/100, teamwork 48/100, imagination 50/100.
Zhang Sheng immediately knew where the championship gift that the system had not issued was, this was a new Ozil.
Zhang Sheng hurriedly stopped Qin Minghao and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something I want to talk to you about." ”
Qin Minghao was stunned and said, "Although I thanked you just now, I don't want to stay here anymore, maybe I should go back and continue studying." ”
Zhang Sheng hurriedly said: "That's it, you give me a contact information, and I will contact you." ”
Zhang Sheng also knew that this was not the place to talk about things, so he was going to contact him after he went back. Qin Minghao gave his mobile phone number to Zhang Sheng, and then left.
Zhang Sheng smiled at the elder Costa and said, "There is an old saying in China, good things are more grinding, and these small accidents may just be a small episode to test us, but we solved it, didn't we?"
Old Costa also laughed: "This Chinese proverb is so true. I think after these small twists and turns, our cooperation will be very smooth in the future. ”
After visiting the Corinthians Club and bidding farewell to the old Costa, Zhang Sheng returned to the hotel and then began to contact Qin Minghao.
Qin Minghao's home is on 25th Street in São Paulo, which is also the place where the largest number of Chinese gather. A lot of Chinese set up shop here. In addition to some overseas Chinese who continue to operate restaurants, there are also many large electrical appliance shopping malls, breeding farms and medical clinics.
Qin Minghao's parents are both doctors, and they have not been in Brazil for too long, only 3 years. Because Qin Minghao's hometown has a tradition of immigration, after being introduced by relatives in his hometown, Qin Minghao's parents took Qin Minghao to Brazil to open a clinic.
Zhang Sheng went directly to 25th Street to visit Qin Minghao's family.
In a small clinic of less than 20 square meters, Zhang Sheng met Qin Minghao and Qin Minghao's parents. Qin Minghao's parents were very enthusiastic about Zhang Sheng's arrival, and when Qin Minghao came back just now, he told his parents what had just happened in the Corinthians Club. Qin Minghao's parents are very grateful.
Zhang Sheng directly explained his intention: "I am very optimistic about Qin Minghao's football talent and want him to return to China to join my club. After speaking, Zhang Sheng handed over his business card.
I saw the head on Zhang Sheng's business card: Head Coach/Deputy General Manager of China Jiangcheng Longteng Football Club, Technical Director of Jiangcheng Longteng Football School. Qin Minghao's parents became even more enthusiastic. Because of Qin Minghao's love for football, they are very clear, but there has been no channel for this. Now that there is a head coach of a professional team coming over, that's the best.
