Shanghai, China, Zhongbang Club, training base for the U20 youth team. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was four o'clock in the afternoon. Since the matches between the Chinese Super League and the youth team ended as early as last month, and the players also ushered in a long vacation, the whole training base also seemed very quiet. However, the head coach of the youth team, An Rong, has not left yet, he is still in the office watching the video of the team's games this season, frowning from time to time.

His old friend Guo Fan stayed with him on the grounds of "inspection work". The game has long been played, and there is still any work to be inspected, but An Rong did not choose to return to his hometown Dalian immediately during the holiday, but stayed in Shanghai and has been living in the club, and he has to come to the office every day, flip through some materials, and watch videos. Guo Fan was a little curious, wondering what it was that attracted An Rong so much, and he didn't even give himself a holiday.

Guo Fan put down the newspaper he had just read, and when he turned his head, he saw An Rong's brows frowning, and immediately knew that it must be a certain team member who made An Rong dissatisfied.

Guo Fan asked him with a smile: "What's the matter, 'An Shuai'? Which team member made you unhappy?"

An Rong's face was calm: "Come and take a look." ”

Guo Fan walked over with questions and stood beside him: "What?"

An Rong's No. 3 player on the computer screen: "Did you see Huang Yu? ”

Guo Fan looked at it and nodded: "Well, I saw it." Is he making you feel bad?"

An Rong sighed silently and said, "This guy, I don't know why he wants to play as a central defender, but look at him, he behaves like a mess!"

"You're the coach and he's in his place. ”

"It's not that you don't know my coaching style, I'd love to listen to the players and if he thinks he's a better fit for another position, I can give him a try. ”

Guo Fan smiled: "But Huang Yu, the central defender, didn't play well. ”

An Rong nodded lightly: "So I want him to know that not everyone can play as a central defender." I told him to try playing at centre-back and it would also make him see himself better. ”

Guo Fan said: "Is there any other reason?

An Rong shook his head: "In the last round of the league, against Sichuan Zhigu, Huang Yu also played as a central defender, but the team's two goals conceded were related to him. ”

"So what tactical plan do you have for him now......?

"I've called him, I've asked him to come and I'll talk to him, I'm going to let him die completely. ”

In the picture, Huang Yu was getting the ball, but he was a central defender who habitually began to run to the side, and passed the half like a lightning speed, but unfortunately, as soon as he ran over the halfway, the ball was cut off by the opponent. The result was that the Jungbang youth team lost another point because of his mistake.

Huang Yu spread his hands helplessly, he looked to the sidelines, and the camera happened to focus on An Rong in the coach's seat, he saw An Rong's expressionless face, and he knew that the coach was a little disappointed in him.

In the subsequent game, Huang Yu really did not adapt to the central defender. An Rong chatted with Guo Fan about Huang Yu's game while watching the video. The game ended with Zhongbang's loss, the score was 1:2, and Huang Yu had to bear a lot of responsibility.

Someone knocked on the door outside the office: "Director An, I'm Huang Yu." ”

"Come in. An Rong said.

Huang Yu pushed the door in.

He was puzzled by An Rong suddenly calling him to the base. First, I don't know why the coach asked him to come, and second, I was surprised that An Rong didn't go back to Dalian.

He saw another person sitting next to An Rong, he didn't know this person, but he could sit with An Rong, this person was definitely not a simple person.

An Rong beckoned Huang Yu to sit on the sofa, and he also went to sit on the sofa, Guo Fan sat in the vacant seat next to him, and Huang Yu stood in front of the two.

Guo Fan saw that the young man was very restrained, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, just sit down." ”

Huang Yu didn't move, glanced at An Rong, and after An Rong nodded, he sat down.

An Rong made three cups of tea and gave Guo Fan and Huang Yu one each. Guo Fan was unceremonious, picked up the teacup and tasted it, but Huang Yu didn't dare to touch it, as if he felt that the tea was very hot.

Guo Fan hissed, it seems that this tea is really a little hot.

An Rong looked at Huang Yu and asked, "Do you know the reason why I called you here?" ”

Huang Yu lowered his head and said softly, "I don't know." ”

An Rong didn't blame, and continued: "I have reviewed all the games of the youth team this season in the past few days, and I have also watched the games of other teams, and I have also checked all the information about you in the office and made a thorough comparison with the defenders of your other youth teams. Including technical features such as defense and forward insertion, unexpectedly, it took more than a month to do this. You see, all the 'hills' on the table have something to do with you. ”

Huang Yu was very surprised, dare to love for the past month and a half, An Rong has come to the office every day!

In fact, An Rong can also do these things at home, but An Rong thinks that the office is quieter, and he is worried that as soon as he gets home, he will become lazy under the rendering of the family. Compared to home, the office is like a place to do things. Therefore, he came to the office from the dormitory every morning and cut out all the reports and materials that were written with the word "Huang Yu".

An Rong continued: You didn't play well in the last two games, compared to the previous games, it can be described as a world of difference. ”

Huang Yu was a little stunned: "I'm ...... Know. ”

"Do you know why you're not doing well?"

Huang Yu nodded, but did not make a sound. He was even already waiting for An Rong to scold him.

But An Rong didn't scold him, just said lightly: "Tell me the reason why you are not performing well." ”

Huang Yu paused for a moment before saying, "Because ...... Because I'm not in a position I'm familiar with...... Can't play ......"

"Since you don't think you're a good fit for a centre-back, why did you tell me you wanted to play centre-back?"

Huang Yu stopped squeaking again.

"Tell me, tell me why. ”

Huang Yu said hesitantly: "Actually, there are two reasons for this. ”

"Which two? ”

Huang Yu glanced at him, then at Guo Fan, and then said: "The first is because I want to try the feeling of stopping the opponent's striker, and I will be very happy to see them lose the ball at my feet and be frustrated." ”

An Rong was stunned for a moment, Guo Fan was also stunned, and then laughed.

And that's a reason? It's a strange idea for young people.

An Rong couldn't help laughing and said: "It's not wrong for you to have such thoughts, but you have to understand that you are not suitable for central defenders." You're thin and not very tall. Centre-backs are usually stronger and have a certain height advantage. Of course, there are very few centre-backs like Fabio Cannavaro who are 1.75 meters old, and he is a special case and cannot be used as a positive material. ”

An Rong said, I don't know why I remembered Yan Tao, I haven't talked to Yan Tao for a long time, and I don't know how the tough and strong talented central defender is doing at Vidis Club.

Huang Yu sighed softly: "Director An is right, I also hope that I can be more comprehensive." ”

'You want to be more well-rounded and be an all-round defender, that's the second reason why you want to be a centre-back?

"Yes. That's it. ”

"Very good, I appreciate your attitude, you are a young man who knows how to improve. But Huang Yu, 'golden balm' is rare, but your own physical condition can't meet this requirement. You've got great positioning and help defending, you're fast, you're dangerous in front of you, and you're a natural full-back. ”

The last sentence is a word of praise, and Huang Yu will not fail to hear it.

An Rong added: "When I first saw your performance at left wing-back, I thought you were born for this position. Then you told me that you wanted to try as a centre-back, and I guessed that you must not play well, but I gave you this opportunity anyway, even at the cost of losing a game. I'm doing this not just to show you your weaknesses and strengths, but to have other reasons. Can you know?"

Huang Yu said: "I don't know for the time being." ”

"It's okay, you'll understand later. From next season, I want you to go back to full-back, I don't need you to be an all-round defender, as long as you can focus on full-back, you will definitely achieve something. ”

"Yes!

"Alright, you can rest. ”

Huang Yu got up and walked out, An Rong shouted: "Remember what I said, focus on the fullbacks!"

"I remembered. ”

"Let's go down. ”

Huang Yu said thank you and left the office.

Seeing him leave, Guo Fan, who had never spoken, spoke: "It seems that you are very interested in this young man?"

An Rong chuckled: "He is only nineteen years old, and he already has a lot of experience and is very comfortable playing fullback." I have to keep him playing in this position so he can have a future. Playing at centre-back, he can't. ”

Guo Fan stared at the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "It's a pity that you are not the coach of the national team, no matter how good Huang Yu is in the youth team, not too many people will see it." Putting down the teacup, he asked, "Do you know his family background?"

"Didn't I just say that? I've looked up everything about him these days. Huang Yu's family is not very good, and his family has spent a lot of money in order to let him play. ”

"That's a hassle. You and I both know China's football environment! If there is no money, no matter how good people are, they will be buried. ”

"That's why I chose to leave professional football in the first place! ”

"This is all thanks to the Chinese Football Association! With that kind of bureaucratic style to manage football, I am afraid that there is no second country in the world except China!"

An Rong looked at him: "Aren't you from the Municipal Sports Bureau?"

Guo Fan said bitterly: "This is not the same thing at all! Although the Football Association is a non-governmental organization, it is actually an official background. Not to mention our local Municipal Sports Bureau, even the State Sports Bureau, can only supervise and strengthen the management of the Chinese Football Association, and cannot directly intervene in football. ”

"It's a shame that the Chinese Football Association can't do real things! I really hope that one day, someone can improve this situation. ”

Guo Fan took a sip of water and said something that surprised An Rong.

"Eiko, I'm going to the National Sports Bureau after New Year's Day. ”

"What, what, what are you going to do?"

"Go and get things done. ”

"What are you doing?"

"I'll sell it first, and you'll find out later. ”

An Rong pondered for a moment and asked, "You don't seem to have any merits, do you? Why did you go to the National Sports Bureau?"

Guo Fan smiled and said, "In the land of China, connections are far more important than merit. I studied abroad, and I've been studying since I returned to China. Let's put it this way, my study abroad was actually 'arranged' in advance, and everything was originally planned. Grasp this point, and then entrust those who have face and status to write a special book for me, and even if it is 'reactive', it will become 'meritorious'. ”

An Rong understood. It turned out that Guo Fan went to the National Sports Bureau to "communicate" early in the morning, but seeing that he has not made much achievements in recent years, in order for him to go to the National Sports Bureau to be "logical", this so-called "studying abroad" is also a must.

What a good hand!

An Rong doesn't know how much Guo Fan has left, and some expenses and entertainment must be indispensable. He patted his old friend on the shoulder: "Congratulations first." ”

"Don't congratulate me, I haven't done anything yet. When I have made some achievements for Chinese football, you can congratulate me. ”

An Rong's face became a little cloudy, and there was an unknown gaze in his eyes. Guo Fan looked at him, thinking in his heart that this old friend of his might have seen some eyebrows.

Guo Fan cupped his elbows and knees: "What is it like in the National Sports Bureau, I don't know for the time being." I don't think it's going to be simpler than the Municipal Sports Bureau, and it's going to be more complicated between people. ”

An Rong smiled and acquiesced.

Guo Fan said again: "But it doesn't matter, since I have chosen this path, I will stick to it, just like you did when you cultivated that group of children." I can't be a coach and I can't train a good young player like Zhang Shujie, but I can express it in another way. ”

"Are you sure...... Can you succeed on your own?"

"Who knows for sure what the future holds? Maybe, maybe not. All I know is that I didn't go down the wrong path. ”

An Rong closed his eyes: "This bet is too big." ”

"Life is a gamble, you can't win or lose if you don't bet. The bigger the bet, the more money you win, but if you lose, you're nothing. ”

An Rong said with a wry smile: "You are so bold. If it were me, I might not dare to do this. ”

Guo Fan laughed: "Have you done less? You left your youth in the high school football league, just to dig out young geniuses among the people." If it weren't for my phone call, would you have come here? No, Anzi, your stakes may not have been smaller than mine! ”

An Rong was silent for a while before he said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this issue! Let's look back when we've all made it happen. ”

Guo Fan leaned back on the sofa, tilted his head, and muttered: "This bet in the future, I hope to be able to be full of money, and everyone will be happy!"
