Chapter Eighty-Three: Warm Jin Zaizhong
At 6 p.m. on August 23rd, as the largest football stadium in Asia, the Seoul World Cup Stadium that can accommodate more than 66,000 people is already full, and the spectator seats of the stadium have become a sea of red.
Li Kong and his teammates were warming up on the field at the moment, and he occasionally looked up at the countless crowds in the audience, and although he didn't have the shock at the beginning, he still felt his calves and stomach tremble a little from time to time.
I have to say that the club's battle really surprised Li Kong, because the first game of the second half of the league Seoul FC is the "Capital Circle Derby" with Suwon Samsung, so a high-level official made a decision a few months ago, and wanted to invite popular stars to help sing and stir up the atmosphere today, at least to completely crush the momentum of Suwon Samsung at home!
However, I am afraid that the senior management himself did not expect that one of his proposals directly changed the taste of today's game scene, because at this moment, less than 40,000 of the more than 66,000 people at the scene are Seoul FC fans, Suwon Samsung fans only received less than 2,000 tickets, and the remaining 20,000 people are all supporting fans of TVXQ, today's assistant singer!
Yes, that's right, the one who was invited to sing today is TVXQ, which is now popular all over Asia!
Because of the strategy of SM Company, TVXQ pays great attention to the market and fans of RB, so they often go to RB activities for a period of time in South Korea, which makes the Korean fairy queens cherish every event held by TVXQ in Korea.
And some time ago, it happened that TVXQ would sing at the home stadium of Seoul FC on August 23rd, and the news that a fan autograph session would be held after the game, so on the same day, the remaining home tickets for Seoul FC's game on August 23rd were quickly sold out by the fairy queens, so that Seoul FC fans who came to book tickets only a few days ago faced the embarrassing situation of selling out home tickets for the first time.
You must know that the attendance rate of the K League has not been very high, such as the home games of Seoul FC, on average, there can be a fifty percent attendance rate, that is, more than 30,000 people come to watch the game is already very good, so many fans have developed the habit of buying tickets a few days before the game, but they didn't expect that this time they would plant a big heel on the fairy queens!
Li Kong forced himself to stare at the crowded audience, and at the same time reminded himself again and again in his heart: You must calm down! Although he already has a wealth of experience in the game, it is really the first time to play in front of tens of thousands of people! This kind of feeling of watching tens of thousands of people around him is really hard for people who have not experienced it! Li Kong does not want to play by himself later, and he is already weak before he touches the ball leg, so he can only force himself to adapt now.
Park Zhouyong understands Li Kong's current mood very well, when he played at home for the first time, his performance was not much better than Li Kong's now, and at that time, there were only more than 30,000 fans in the World Cup stadium to watch the game, but today more than 66,000 people came! Thinking of this, Park Zhouyong also mourned for Li Kong for a few seconds in his heart, and then he grabbed Li Kong's shoulders and whispered some words of encouragement in his ear, trying to calm the child down as soon as possible.
After about a few minutes, a group of staff ran up to the field to prepare to set up the simple stage, Li Kong got off the field with his teammates and walked into the players' tunnel, and the players of Suwon Samsung on the other side also got off the field one after another, and then walked towards the players' tunnel.
Li Kong wiped his face, and gradually felt the tension in his body dissipate, and a trace of excitement came to his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief, entered the players' tunnel, and was about to return to the locker room with the players, but he didn't expect that a person came in the aisle, holding a small gift box in his hand, and greeted him with a smile: "Xiaokong, I've been waiting for you here for a while." ”
Li Kong looked at the "beautiful" man in front of him who was wearing a performance costume, and shouted with some surprise and surprise: "Brother Zhong, shouldn't you be in the lounge, why did you come here?"
Jin Zaizhong smiled slightly, and said kindly: "When you came back some time ago, I was on a daily tour with my teammates in RB, and later after returning to China, I was busy preparing new song MVs, running announcements, and I haven't met you properly, today is the day of your first official game, of course my brother is going to encourage you, ah, some time ago, I heard Xi Che and Han Geng say that you are now tall and strong, and sure enough, you are becoming more and more like a human bear~"
Li Kong was quite moved when he heard Jin Zaizhong's words, but he didn't expect to hear the metaphor of "man bear" in the end, and he was really a little powerless to complain......
Speaking of which, the process of Li Kong and Kim Jae-jung meeting was also quite dramatic, probably in mid-July 04, he took a car to S M company to find Kim Taeyeon at noon on a Saturday as usual, and he didn't expect to see his Chinese brother Han Geng, who had just met for a short time, being blocked in front of a car by a group of girls, and there was a man wearing a hat and a mask in front of Han Geng who was opening his arms, trying to stop those girls from pulling Han Geng.
Although Li Kong was still a little far away at the time, he didn't hear what those girls were saying, but judging from Han Geng's helpless actions and sad expressions on his face, he probably guessed that what those girls said was not a good thing, for Han Geng, the brother who came to South Korea alone to pursue his dreams, Li Kong admired and was willing to get close, and after living in South Korea for a long time, he also knew that some Koreans were extremely xenophobic.
So he didn't think much about it at the time, he rushed over directly and angrily pushed away those girls, and walked into the S M company with Han Geng and the man who was kind enough to protect him, and entered the S M company, and after the man took off his hat and mask, Li Kong found out that he was Kim Jae-jung, a member of the idol group TVXQ, which was in a mess in South Korea at the time.
At that moment, Li Kong probably understood why Kim Jae-joong didn't choose to push those girls just now, after all, with his current identity, if there is the slightest rumor of bullying fans, then TVXQ will suffer a lot of blame, which is a consequence that their newcomers can't bear.
But in that case, Kim Jae-jung did not choose to leave, but insisted on protecting his friends in the way he could, Li Kong felt that Kim Jae-jung was very righteous at that moment, and Kim Jae-jung also knew through Han Geng's explanation that Li Kong and Jin Xiche and Han Geng had a good relationship, plus Li Kong did just relieve him and Han Geng, the two naturally got closer, and then ......
Every time Li Kong brought drinks and food to Jin Xiche and them, he would also prepare one for each of Jin Jae-jung and several other members of Dongshen, so they gradually became familiar with each other, in Kim Jae-jung's words, where to find a younger brother like Li Kong? He just met him for a short time and stupidly bought him drinks and cakes, he had to keep this younger brother well, otherwise where to find this long-term "snack ticket"?
Li Kong replied to Kim Jae-jung in the practice room at that time, but it turned out to be jointly "suppressed" by Kim Hee-cheol, Han Geng and Kim Jae-jung, which also showed Kim Jae-jung's acceptance of Li Kong at that time, but to be honest, a silly young man like Li Kong is indeed rare, not pretentious, and his very sincere character is easy to be accepted no matter where he goes~
Without further ado, let's turn our attention back to the present.
Jin Zaizhong looked at Li Kong's black face at this time, and finally couldn't help laughing, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Kong's shoulder, winked at him and said: "Xi Che really understands you, if he calls you 'Man Bear', you will definitely be angry, sure enough, hahahaha~ Okay, okay, don't be bitter about your big face, this is regarded as a punishment for only writing three letters to me and Xi Che Han Geng in more than a year after you went to the Netherlands!
Li Kong looked at Kim Jae-jung's arrogant face helplessly, drooped his head, and nodded weakly: "It should be, brother, you said it should be good, alas......"
Kim Jae-joong rubbed Li Kong's head funny, handed the small gift box he was holding in his hand to Li Kong, and said, "Okay, I won't tease you, this is the 'debut' gift for your first official game, see if you like it or not?"
Li Kong took the small gift box with some curiosity, and quickly opened the box in front of Jin Zaizhong, revealing a string of silver necklaces inside.
The necklace is a very simple shape, the pendant is something like a coin, Li Kong looked closer, only to find that it was engraved with the pattern of a football, the name of Li Kong was engraved on the back of the 'coin', and a string of Korean was engraved under the name: I wish you to realize your dreams as soon as possible.
Li Kong played with the necklace in his hand, and thanked Kim Jae-jung very happily, Jin Jae-jung looked at Li Kong's smiling and happy appearance, and suddenly felt that his body, which was very tired because of the non-stop work for days, was also full of warm power.
He laughed softly and scolded: "Stinky boy, are you still as stupid as before, a string of necklaces will make you like this?
Li Kong shook his head, unfolded the necklace, looked at the shaking "football", and said with a smile: "I'm happy because of your blessings and affirmation of me, brother, I really feel very happy to have brothers and friends like you by my side when I realize my dreams, thank you, in the middle brother, I will definitely work harder to pursue my dreams!"
Kim Jae-joong looked at Li Kong's innocent smiling face, and was happy from the bottom of his heart for this stupid younger brother to have this persistence, but it was a pity that he was still busy going back to prepare the stage for the meeting with his teammates, so after chatting a few more words, Kim Jae-jung trotted out of the aisle and rushed towards the lounge, and Li Kong also walked into the locker room with a relaxed and happy mood.
From time to time, the stadium was still filled with the rehearsed shouts of fans and fans, and as the game time approached, these cheers grew louder and louder, and it was unknown what they were expecting......
