Chapter Eighty-Eight: Family
At the post-match press conference, Lee Jang-so finally chose to let Park Joo-young join him, which left a group of reporters from major newspapers who were waiting to interview Lee Kong well.
You must know that when Li Kong was training in the club, he was famous for his monotonous life and "home", and later went to the Dutch youth training, and after returning to South Korea, he "stayed" into the club's dormitory, and every day in addition to training, he went to find Kim Taeyeon, so the outside world has always known very little about him.
Of course, in the past, Li Kong was just a talented little player at best, and whoever was full of food would investigate his information! Even in Europe, who would know more about such a player, except for some die-hard fans of major clubs and club staff?
Some time ago, after Lee Kong trained with the first team and played in Choi Yong-so's retirement match, some small and medium-sized sports newspapers in Seoul reported some news about him, and with the somewhat exaggerated identity of "a football genius valued by Eindhoven", Lee Kong became well-known to some fans.
But it's different now, at least this time is different! Seoul FC is a youth player with a strong roots, and the key is that Li Kong is only 17 years old when he passes and shoots in his debut against a sworn rival team! How much material is worth writing about! The major sports newspapers in Seoul are not stupid! Naturally, they all want to snatch Li Kong's first-hand information, and you must know that the audience who watched this game is no less curious about Li Kong than they are!
But these reporters didn't expect that Nima Li Kong would slip away directly after the game! The reporters couldn't interview Li Kong, and Seoul FC from head coach Lee Jang-so to the staff below were also tight-lipped about the reporters, and they didn't want to reveal more information about Li Kong, and the information about Li Kong on the official website of Seoul FC was only the jersey number and some brief information when he was in the club's youth training.
But the point is that people can't interview them at all, and they can't find them, so what can they report?
As a result, almost all the information that Li Kong previously revealed in front of the public was pulled out by this group of reporters, from his participation in the National Junior High School Championship to his return to South Korea from the Dutch youth training, all his experiences were fully utilized and made into stories, and even his identity as a Chinese was caught by some newspapers to make some articles.
But Li Kong naturally didn't know all this, after he slipped out of the court and sent Kim Taeyeon and his party back to the company dormitory or sent home, he ran to the private room of the barbecue restaurant where he had agreed to meet his parents in advance, and had dinner with his parents, brother Li Si and Pei Yongsang, a dead fat man who hadn't seen him for a long time.
Li Rongguo and Li Si were very happy to get drunk that night, Li Kong has really given up too many things for football in the past few years! Not to mention his studies for the time being, almost all of his personal entertainment or normal time going out with friends is used by him for training.
Li Rongguo and Li Si both knew these things, but what could they do for Li Kong? In addition to firmly supporting Li Kong in pursuing his dreams and giving him a warm family, they really couldn't help Li Kong in football, first, they didn't understand this thing, and second, they were limited by family conditions.
Li Rongguo was able to decisively give up his job in China when Li Si and Li Kong were still young, and went to South Korea, a strange country, to accept new job challenges, it is impossible to say that the new company gives him low salary, but there are two children and wives to support at home, and the consumption level in South Korea is also higher than that in China.
Therefore, Li Kong has always been able to only conduct football training in schools or some free interest training courses, and take football training courses or football lessons opened by some football coaches, which are all consumption that Li Kong's family can no longer afford, although Li Kong was young at that time, but he was also very sensible, and never asked his parents for anything, but worked harder to train in school and participate in various competitions that he could participate.
Later, Li Kong finally got an invitation from a professional club! With his own efforts, he impressed Chi Lie with his outstanding performance and embarked on the road of professional football, without asking for a penny from his family, and sending almost all the subsidies given by the club back to his home every month, which made Li Rongguo feel proud of his youngest son countless times and also feel sad.
Lee Kong was only 14 years old when he left Jeonju alone to train in Anyang City, and he was only 15 years old when he and his teammates left South Korea for the Netherlands.
Li Rongguo has watched Jin Chengmei caress Li Kong's photo for countless nights and sobbed silently, he himself has suffered from insomnia countless times at night, no matter when he opens his eyes and closes his eyes, his mind is full of Li Kong's smiling appearance, Li Si works hard, just to give his younger brother a good environment to practice football as soon as possible, but he didn't think about it, I don't know when Li Kong no longer needs their care and distress, but is strong and walks on his own road alone.
When this day really came, when Li Kong really became a professional football player, Li Rongguo and Li Si were drunk, very drunk, Li Rongguo's face was flushed, he stroked Li Kong's head silently, looked at his gradually mature face, I don't know when he was already in tears, Li Si was red and said to Li Kong over and over again, "I'm sorry, my brother couldn't help you earlier" Pei Yongshang, Li Kong's best friend, seemed to have thought of the difficulty of Li Kong's football training in the past, and as if he was happy for his current success, he also hugged him and cried.
Originally, Li Kong was also very sentimental by his father and brother, but Pei Yongshang made him cry and laugh again, Li Kong kicked him away angrily, and scolded with a smile: "My father and brother cry for me, forget it, why do you cry?"
Pei Yongshang wiped his tears and sniffed and said: "I saw that Uncle Li and Brother Li sighed and cried, so I couldn't help it 555555!
Seeing this, Jin Chengmei took Pei Yongshang into her arms, and gently slapped Li Kong's head while comforting him, and when she saw Li Kong's smile looking at herself, she suddenly laughed with some relief.
She originally thought that she would cry the most tonight, but she didn't think that her husband and eldest son would cry first, and she saw Li Kong's happy appearance after realizing his dream now, and she only had infinite pride and joy in her heart, maybe it was really like what Li Rongguo said, in the years when Li Kong left home to train football in other cities and countries, she shed all the tears that should have been shed in this life, and in the future, it will be a happy day~
"Take care of your dad and your brother, don't knock and fall, these two guys have drunk so much tonight, hum, I'll clean them up tomorrow!"
As Jin Chengmei's slightly chilling words came out, Li Kong shivered inexplicably, he looked at his father and brother, who were still "affectionate" to him just now, but now they had fallen to the ground and were babbling nonsense, and mourned a few words for them in his heart, and then went to ask the waiter to bring some decanting soup and hot towels according to his mother's instructions.
"Bell bell bell ~"
The mobile phone rang abruptly at this time, and Li Kong finished calling the waiter and was about to answer the phone, but he didn't expect Jin Chengmei to take the first step and curiously pick up the mobile phone that Li Kong put on the table, and looked at the caller ID: "Favorite and favorite stinky short body?" Jin Chengmei read out the name on the caller ID word by word, and then looked at Li Kong with a strange expression.
The smile on Li Kong's face froze suddenly, but Pei Yongshang swallowed his saliva, glanced at Jin Chengmei and Li Kong carefully, and then silently moved his ass to the side, turned over and lay face down in the room and pretended to be dead.
Jin Cheng looked at Li Kong's face that suddenly turned red with a smile, opened the phone cover, pressed the answer button, turned on the speakerphone, and then handed the phone to Li Kong.
"What are you doing, stinky guy? Why haven't you answered my phone for so long? Did you hang out with your teammates? Okay! How did you promise me at the door of the company? Hmph, big liar......
"May I ask who you are?" Jin Chengmei suddenly interjected and asked on the phone, the girl's voice on the other end of the phone stopped suddenly, Li Kong felt the "exciting" atmosphere, and a lyric inexplicably appeared in his mind: I am most afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet~
Hehe, hehehe~
