Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Road!
Zhang Shujie stood up, he was going to leave. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"I'm sorry Reporter Tang, I have to go. β
"Aren't you waiting for your team to be with the cheerleaders?"
"No, I'm not in the squad today, I can leave alone. β
"Okay then, you go first, I'll sort out my notes, and call Gu Hua to leave too. Today, it's a draw, you didn't play, there's no big news, I don't know what to write. β
Zhang Shujie didn't hear Tang Feng's last sentence clearly, as soon as he walked down the steps, Tang Feng's mobile phone received two text messages, both of which were sent to him by his colleagues. The content of the text message is very simple, the first is: Xinguang Middle School 3:1 Iron Man Middle School, and the second is Mingyang High School 1:4 Shengding High School.
Tang Feng calculated in his heart: the qualifiers have been played four times, and currently in Group C, Xinguang Middle School has won all, Iron Man Middle School, Shengding No. 1 High School, and Ling'an No. 1 Middle School have each lost one, and Ling'an No. 1 Middle School has a draw.
Now three of the four favourites in Group C have lost, and Yuying Middle School still has three wins and one draw, and has not tasted defeat. The next round of the game will be Shengding High School and Iron Man Middle School away, and Yuying Middle School will also meet Xinguang Middle School. In the last round of the competition, Yuying Middle School will compete with Shengding High School again!
Tang Feng sighed: "The situation in this Group C is really chaotic. β
Tang Feng looked at the direction in which Zhang Shujie left, that young man should not know the results of other teams' games now. Whether Yuying Middle School can go to the national competition depends on his performance in the remaining games.
Zhang Shujie walked out of the school gate of Jien Middle School, came to the platform and waited for the bus, but waited for a long time and did not see the shadow of the bus. He decided to simply take a taxi and go home.
Stop an empty car and get ready to get on it. His mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he found it, it was an unfamiliar number, as if it was still an international call, and he pressed it in confusion: "Hey?"
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, a little excited: "Hey, is it Zhang Shujie?"
"Yes, it's me, who are you?" he couldn't tell who the other person was from the excited voice.
The other party stabilized his emotions: "What about now, do you know who I am?"
"Horse ...... Ma Junqiang?!" Zhang Shujie finally heard it. This 'big handsome', who has stayed twice and is two years older than Zhang Shujie, called from abroad.
"Haha, kid is good, remember me. β
"Hear papaya say you're in the UK?"
"Well, yes, I want to be a professional player. β
"I want to go to Chelsea, right? I heard that they all played for the reserve team. β
"That's right. But what makes me even happier is that I'm going to be in the Chelsea first team next year. Unfortunately, because I don't have a labor certificate, I have to go to Belgium on loan first. During this time, I have been trained, selected for the national team and played enough games to return to the Chelsea first team!"
"First, the first team?" Zhang Shujie was excited.
Getting into the Chelsea first team!!that's what many young players dream of. Ma Junqiang, as a Chinese, can actually enter Chelsea's first team next year!
Due to the restrictions of the labor certification in the Premier League, Ma Junqiang cannot play official matches for the time being, and can only play in the reserve league. However, he will only be able to break into the first team if he can be selected for the national team during his training in Belgium and have made 75 per cent of his appearances for his country in the past year.
It is not difficult for Chinese players who play abroad to enter the national team, as long as Ma Junqiang can seize the opportunity in Belgium, he can fully meet this requirement in the next three years.
It's just that there is another reason that is a bit troublesome, Ma Junqiang's country, that is, China's ranking in FIFA, does not meet the labor certification regulations. This has to be appealed, and there are a little twists and turns, but this is not hopeless, isn't Sun Jihai also playing in the Premier League? So Ma Junqiang is still very promising.
Zhang Shujie was stunned, and the taxi driver asked him impatiently: "Do you want to sit down?"
He reacted: "I'm sorry, I have something to do, so I won't sit down yet." β
"If you have something to say earlier, it will delay my time. The driver was very dissatisfied and drove away.
"Hello, hey?" Ma Junqiang shouted on the phone.
"Oh, it's okay, you continue. β
Ma Junqiang continued: "The last time the Chelsea manager came to visit the reserve team, we had a game, and I performed very well in that game, and the coach took a fancy to me at a glance. β
"Chelsea manager?"
"Yes, it's JosΓ© MuΓ±erio, I didn't expect him to take a fancy to me. β
'I seem to have seen the news last month that Chelsea's main goalkeeper, Petr Cech, was injured?
"Yes, I think that's probably why Mr. MuΓ±erio likes me, he needs more goalkeepers. But he said that I was too young and that the current goalkeeper was still doing well, so he was going to let me go through the training first. β
"Such a big news, it should be reported in China, right?"
"It's hard to say, the news hasn't been released yet. Not to mention the journalists, even my team-mates in the reserve team didn't know, Mourinho just told me in private. He told me not to talk about it, because I still have to go on loan to Belgium! β
Zhang Shujie wondered: "What about papaya?
Ma Junqiang said: "No one answered his mobile phone just now. I wonder if he's playing?"
"Well, the game just ended. β
"Alright, I'll tell him later. β
Zhang Shujie chuckled: "Dashuai, I congratulate you first, you are about to enter the first team of Chelsea." β
Ma Junqiang smiled heartily: "Thank you." You and Papaya are going to work hard, and hopefully one day, we can meet in Europe. β
"I hope for that day. β
"Then I'll hang up the phone first, this is my new number, you can remember it. β
"Okay, I made a note of that. β
"We'll talk again when we have time, bye-bye. β
"Bye-bye. β
Zhang Shujie hung up the phone, as if there were countless waves beating in his heart, surging and surging.
Ma Junqiang, who is two years older than him, went to Europe this summer to try out with Premier League powerhouse Chelsea, and in less than half a year, he was selected by Jose Mourinho to be promoted to the first team. He won't be able to play in the Premier League for a short time, but how old is he? 17 years old! Even if he is officially promoted and goes on loan to Belgium next year, he will only be 18 years old!
Eighteen years old, a goalkeeper, being recognized by MuΓ±irio at this age is an affirmation of Ma Junqiang's own ability. Throughout the world, there are not many such people. Real Madrid's Iker Casillas counts one, as does Juventus' Gianluigi Buffon. Even the current Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech only joined the giants at the age of 22.
It's just that Ma Junqiang can't return to Chelsea in the past two years, even if he is lucky enough to return to the Chelsea first team before the age of 20, it is impossible to pry Cech's main position, he can only start as a substitute, and with his age, he may not be the first substitute for Cech.
Zhang Shujie looked up at the sky, the sun was shining, and it was also warm on him, but his heart was a little cold.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Ma Junqiang can't return to Chelsea in the end, he can be regarded as having really stepped into a European team, which will be a valuable experience and wealth in his career. At that time, Ma Junqiang can still compete for the right to qualify for the World Cup in the name of "national brand".
The World Cup, haha, how attractive, even if China is just participating in a World Cup qualifier, it can affect the hearts of fans across the country. But Zhang Shujie is still working hard for whether the school football team can participate in the national competition, compared with Ma Junqiang, it is completely different.
Although the country is trying to talk to Parma in Serie A about China's high school league, hoping to sign a contract with the other party for talent development, if the contract can be successfully signed, Zhang Shujie may be selected. However, what has happened to the two sides so far?
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that when the phone rang again, it startled him.
This time it was Li Mu who called, and Zhang Shujie could already guess what Li Mu was going to say to him.
"Hey, papaya, your game ......"
"Let's not talk about the game first!Jie, Jiezai, Ma Dashuai is about to enter the Chelsea first team, you know?" Li Mu's words were a little anxious, and he didn't let Zhang Shujie finish his words.
"I already knew a few minutes ago. β
"Da Shuai, Chelsea! Ma Dashuai has really entered Chelsea!" Li Mu also became excited.
Zhang Shujie forcibly suppressed his complicated feelings: "Don't be so excited, Ma Dashuai said that he doesn't have a labor certificate, and he has to go to Belgium to experience some time first, during which he will be selected by the national team and play a certain number of times before he can return to Chelsea." β
"But he's already been appreciated by Mourinho and Chelsea in advance! It's not difficult for him to play abroad and get into the national team, right?
Listening to Li Mu's tone became more and more excited, Zhang Shujie had no choice but to say: "I know it's Chelsea, I know it's Chelsea." But...... Don't get too excited, I'm actually ...... I'm ~ more excited than you!"
Zhang Shujie couldn't suppress his mood anymore under Li Mu's infection, and shouted loudly. He was still gesturing with his left hand, and people on the street looked at him and thought he was arguing with his girlfriend.
"Jie Zai, if this matter is reported in China, the whole of China will explode. β
"The media won't know so quickly. At present, there are only six people who know about this matter, in addition to Ma Dashuai and Mourinho, there are also Dashuai's parents, me and you. By the way, Ma Dashuai said don't talk nonsense about this matter, are your teammates by your side?"
"No, I'm alone within a radius of twenty meters. β
"That's good. Hey, Ma Dashuai has started his trip to Europe, and the two of us are still thinking about the national competition, which is too different. β
Li Mu on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before asking, "Jie Zai, are you ...... Envy?"
Zhang Shujie was a little bitter: "Who doesn't envy it? Ma Dashuai still played with us this summer, but in a blink of an eye, he was in Europe, and he was selected by Mourinho, it's only been a few months!"
Li Mu said "um": "Even if Ma Dashuai can't return to Chelsea, his experience in foreign countries is not strong in China, and it is not a problem to enter the national team." Perhaps, he can also represent China in the World Cup qualifiers. β
"Your thoughts are exactly the same as mine! I'm afraid that by then, the distance between us and Ma Dashuai will be getting farther and farther apart. β
"That's right. In the national competition, he was defeated by both of us. β
"Papaya, there is no shortage of talented teenagers in China. It's just because of institutional problems that it can't become a big tool in China, and only by going to Europe can it have a chance. β
There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a long time, and Zhang Shujie didn't speak, he knew that Li Mu must be thinking about something.
For a long time, Li Mucai said: "We can't think too much about it now, and the top priority is to play well in the national league." If we can't even play the domestic high school football games, what will we say about the future?"
Zhang Shujie smiled: "Yes! Let go of all distractions and baggage, and participate in the national competition first, this is our only chance!"
"Jie Zai, come on, the road ahead is under our feet, it depends on how we go. β
"That's right. The road was made on its own, and I really don't believe in that evil. β
Li Mu's happy laughter came from the phone: "Let's not talk about it yet, I want to go back first." I'm sure we'll go the same way in the future. β
Li Mu ended the call, Zhang Shujie stood in the sun, feeling that the sun was more brilliant, and the haze in his heart had dissipated a lot.
That future road, whether it is success or failure, he will continue to walk, and he will not waver.
