The day before the team's expedition to the 12th round of the Chinese League, Zhang Sheng received reports from two players. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Both players are only 15 years old, one is a student who came to sign up for a football school by himself, and the other is a good seedling unearthed by scouts from the Jiangcheng junior high school league.

The player who came to sign up is called Huang Dawei, he is not from Hubei Province, but from Jiangxi, as a province where football is not too developed, he likes football very much.

He showed his athletic talent since he was a child, and he was recruited into a professional sports school, but after practicing football for a few years, his parents, who thought that football had no future, saw that he was good-looking, and forced him to enter the basketball team.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, in the next year, Huang Dawei grew to more than 1.8 meters tall, but he was not strong, and he never showed good basketball talent, and gradually he became a substitute for the basketball team.

The parents who sent him to basketball also regretted it, but their son has embarked on the road of sports, and it is difficult to turn back, after all, Huang Dawei's long-term vocational training has made him fall behind a lot in cultural classes. After some thought, Huang Dawei's parents set their sights on the recently popular Longteng Football School, after all, their son has had several years of professional football training.

After coming to Longteng Football, Huang Dawei's parents still wanted to stuff money into the football school, but the office staff and coaches in the football school categorically refused. This caught Huang Dawei's parents, who have always been familiar with the unspoken rules of professional sports, a little caught off guard, until the coach of Longteng Football School told the Longteng team very seriously that bribery and gift-giving were strictly prohibited, and they handed Huang Dawei over to the coach for trial training, and finally the coach asked him to play the goalkeeper position after some testing.

For this position, his parents don't understand very much, after all, their son is professionally trained, and he will never play the most promising goalkeeper in their opinion, they think that they are not resolute in giving gifts, and the other party deliberately embarrasses themselves, which makes the coach in charge of the trial him cry and laugh, and finally can only report to Zhang Sheng.

The second player is a native of Jiangcheng, named Xiang Tiange, who is a football characteristic school in Jiangcheng and a student of Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School.

Jiangcheng's campus football is still very level, although Jiangcheng is the 12th Middle School (out of Lu Jie, Zeng Qinggao, Cai Sheng, Zheng Bin, Chang Weiwei, etc.), but some other schools are not weak, including No. 1 Middle School, No. 17 Middle School, Wan Songyuan Primary School (out of Artemisia Junmin, Yao Hanlin), Landslide Road Primary School (the former Exhibition Hall Primary School, out of Mei Fang, Jiang Kun, Wu Peng), Hanyang West Street Primary School (out of Deng Zhuoxiang, Rong Hao), Gangcheng Ten Primary School (out of Zeng Cheng), Wujiashan Primary School (out of Zhang Xizhe). No. 4 Middle School is also one of the best.

However, most of the football characteristic schools were signed exclusivity agreements in advance by the previous Jiangcheng Zhuoer. Only schools such as No. 1 and No. 4 secondary schools, which focus on academic performance, have been left out. This is also the more troublesome thing for Xiang Tiange, that is, his parents do not agree with him playing professional football. After all, in a school like No. 4 Middle School, which often goes out of Jiangcheng College Entrance Examination, learning is still in the first place.

Xiang Tiange is the kind of student whose grades are not bad, but he also plays football well. So how to convince his parents to agree to him playing football became a top priority.

Seeing the two reports in his hand, Zhang Sheng decided to do it himself.

For the first player, the handling is simple. Zhang Sheng took the initiative to contact Huang Dawei's parents and asked them to meet. After seeing Zhang Sheng, Huang Dawei's parents were completely relieved, with Zhang Sheng's position, it was absolutely impossible to cheat them of that little money. After Zhang Sheng described Huang Dawei's future in the goalkeeper position to them, they quickly agreed. And under Zhang Sheng's mastery, Huang Dawei also reduced a certain fee, and at the same time, Zhang Sheng let Huang Dawei live directly in his uncle's house in Jiangcheng. Because there is a rule at Longteng Football School, young players under the age of 16 must live with their family or relatives. After all, the growth of children and the family cannot be separated.

And Xiang Tiange's matter is more sparing. His father is a doctor in a hospital in Jiangcheng, and his mother is an employee of a large state-owned enterprise in Jiangcheng. This is their perception as a relatively advanced intellectual.

For this matter, Zhang Sheng spent a lot of effort.

First of all, Zhang Sheng wanted to prepare a way back for Xiang Tiange, and for this reason, Zhang Sheng also found Jiang Da through his relationship. After promising a bunch of sponsorships to Jiang University, they agreed that they could accept three players to study at Jiang University every year in the future, but also in the name of special recruitment for football students.

With this promise, Zhang Sheng found Xiang Tiange's parents, for Zhang Sheng's arrival, Xiang Tiange's parents' faces were not very good-looking, in their opinion, those who wanted to fool their children to play football were not good people.

Father Xiang said very directly after meeting Zhang Sheng: "Coach Zhang, I know your intention to come here, but let me make it clear first, Tiange will definitely go to university in the future, his grades are not bad, it's okay to play football, but it can't be a career." ”

Zhang Sheng explained to his father very patiently: "I know that Tiange's grades are not bad, and with his intelligence, it is definitely no problem to rely on a university, but I think we also have to consider the child's thoughts." ”

Xiang's mother took over the conversation directly: "He is still so young now, what can he think of his own." He is a student, studying is the right way, and our family is not the kind of family that lacks money and needs children to earn money with their bodies. ”

Hearing Xiang's mother's words, Zhang Sheng understood very well that Chinese parents did not approve of playing football. In fact, this is a cognitive misunderstanding of many people in China.

Truly speaking, football has never been a poor man's sport all over the world!

The phrase that football is a poor man's sport was first coined by Blatter in Africa, but this is not a true saying at all. Football is a middle-class sport, and whether a country's football population is stable depends on whether the country's middle class is strong and stable.

Many people say that Romario comes from the slums, which is because the Chinese have a biased perception of the slums, and the Chinese think that the slums are just for food, but in fact, they are just the children of migrant workers living in big cities. Of course, this is a special case. Most of the kids who play football grow up in a good environment.

According to the survey, most players in Africa are the children of chiefs or local officials, and the same is true in Brazil, where Kaka is a very famous example. It's just that everyone was shocked by a few stars who came out of the slums, and they always thought that football was the way out for the poor.

And in China, there are even more special reasons.

China's thousands of years of cultural inheritance have made most people feel that most people have a paranoid understanding of reading, that is, everything is inferior, but reading is high. Especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China, countless people have changed their destiny through reading. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, the children who play football are poor and disobedient to the path they have to choose. In addition, the domestic test-oriented education also puts children under great pressure, and there are fewer people who play football.

Facing Xiang Tiange's parents, Zhang Sheng could only come up with his killer weapon: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, we have an agreement with Jiang University, the players of the Longteng team and Longteng Football School, if they really don't kick out, we will let them enter Jiang University and choose the corresponding major to study." ”

Hearing Zhang Sheng's words, Xiang Mu was a little stunned and asked, "You said that Jiangcheng University is referring to Jiangcheng University?"

Zhang Sheng nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, it's Jiangcheng University, I don't think you should look down on Jiangcheng University, right?"

Hearing Zhang Sheng say this, Xiang's mother was also a little embarrassed: "How could it be, Jiang University is such a good school." ”

Zhang Sheng also hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "Actually, you also misunderstood our Longteng Football School. Although our Longteng Football School is characterized by football, it is still a school in the final analysis, and since it is a school, the students in it are also mainly learning. We only train 4 times a week in the echelon of Xiang Tiange, and each training session is only an hour and a half, plus a Saturday game. At other times, our students are studying in cultural classes, and in our football school, if they fail to pass the cultural classes, they will be forced to suspend training for make-up classes. ”

Xiang Father and Xiang Mother glanced at each other and said, "That's the case, but what about the strength of Longteng Football School?"

"You don't have to worry about this, after our Longteng Group took over the football school, we invited a lot of teachers with very rich teaching experience, and then the Wuchang District Government specially allocated a group of excellent teachers to support us, you may not know. Last year, more than a dozen students from our junior high school entered the First Affiliated High School of China Normal School and Jiangcheng Foreign Chinese School. Zhang Sheng persuaded again.

Hearing Zhang Sheng say this, Xiang's father and Xiang's mother completely understood the strength of Longteng Football School, and they didn't think that the second son of Longteng Group would tell them lies, after all, if these were lies, then this lie would be too clumsy. However, post-mortem investigations are inevitable.

Zhang Sheng also knew their concerns, he said: "These things are all documented, you can look at the website of our football school, or you can ask through Jiangda or Jiangcheng Education Bureau." ”

In the end, Zhang Sheng wrote all the requirements of Xiang Tiange's parents into the signing contract, which successfully won the little player Xiang Tiange, and he will also officially transfer to Longteng Football School next semester, and Xiang Tiange was even happier when he heard the news.

After dealing with these things, Zhang Sheng received another task from the system, that is, to lead the team to be undefeated this season, the reward is very good, it is a high-level potential pill, and this item is something Zhang Sheng must take. (To be continued.) )
