Chapter 114: Back to Eindhoven
Li Kong spent a rather lively Christmas with the three girls, and after seeing off Lin Yun'er the next day, the three returned to the familiar rhythm of life.
Kim Taeyeon and Hwang Mi-young still go to S M Company every other day to train for a few hours to keep their bodies in shape.
After resting for a while, Li Kong also returned to the habit of going to the training base almost every day.
It's just that this time it made Kim Taeyeon and Hwang Mi-young difficult.
They are accustomed to being able to eat Li Kong's meals every day, and they don't need to do housework, and Li Kong picks them up when they go to school or company.
But now that Li Kong has entered the training state again, he naturally can't spend so much time taking care of them.
Suddenly lost their "nanny" and "bodyguard", and the two girls had to pick up housework again, cook for themselves every day, and by the way, they had to help Li Kong clean up the "daily work" of the room.
It's just that the rest is okay, but in terms of eating, Li Kong really can't let go of these two girls.
As for Hwang Mi-young, she can only simply cook instant noodles and mix some vegetable and fruit salad or something, although Kim Taeyeon is better, she can barely make some kimchi soup and mixed vegetables, and cook the rice to the point that it can be eaten.
Asking them to stir-fry some food or make some edible meat is simply embarrassing them.
In desperation, after Li Kong got up every morning to make breakfast, he had to fry two dishes for the two girls in advance or make a pot of soup and put them on the small table in the kitchen, so that they would not have to worry about how to solve the problem of lunch at noon.
As for himself, he can only eat the training meals scientifically matched by the club's nutritionist in the training base.
After a few busy days, on the afternoon of December 31, Lee Kong, Kim Tae-yeon and Hwang Mi-young rushed back to Jeonju.
Kim Taeyeon and Hwang Mi-young naturally want to stay in Jeonju for New Year's Day and enjoy the holiday.
After spending the New Year's Day with his family, Li Kong returned to Seoul with his brother Li Si the next day.
Li Si became an agent because of this, so he wanted to take advantage of this holiday to learn more about it, and I heard that he also wanted to take the FIFA agent qualification certificate before 08.
And Li Kong wants to make good use of the off-season of the K-League to make his strength go further.
Although his performance in this year's league has been highly recognized by the Korean football community, he always remembers what he plans for the future and what he desires.
The K-League is indeed a good professional league platform in Asia, and playing here now can also help Li Kong improve his strength and accumulate experience.
But he won't always be 17, he's always growing, and when the K-League games don't help him much anymore, it's time for him to go to Europe and get on the bigger stage of professional football!
The quality of training and the continued hunger for victory are indispensable boosters for him to step into the dream of the big five European leagues.
So he trained in the club's training base for another seven or eight days, and after the club helped him complete all the formalities for going abroad, Li Kong once again got on the plane to the Netherlands.
Thanks to the excellent partnership between FC Seoul and FC Eindhoven.
This winter, Li Kong once again returned to the training base in Eindhoven and began his 35-day "winter special training".
Of course, this "special training" will not be free, even Li Kong can be regarded as a child from the Eindhoven youth training system.
Seoul FC paid Eindhoven a relatively generous one-man special training fee on behalf of Lee Kong, which was the key to Eindhoven's readily agreeing to Lee Kong's request to return to the training base for special training.
At this point, I have to say that Seoul FC is indeed very attentive to the cultivation of Li Kong, and it has also done a very good job.
Because the Eredivisie is now in the winter break, and most of the players and coaches are on vacation, Li Kong was fortunate to be placed in PSV Eindhoven's reserve team, and began training with several reserve team members who chose to stay in the team.
And although most of PSV Eindhoven's players are now away from the team on leave, Li Kong is still lucky to see several friends in the training base who met in the youth team.
Most of them are still waiting for opportunities in Eindhoven's youth team, so when they learned that Li Kong has now played in the top league of an Asian country and won the title of best newcomer, they all said that they wanted Li Kong to treat him.
But when it comes to emotions like envy, they don't have much.
After all, even if they don't have a chance now, they will stay in the center of world football and stay in the European league.
There were even one or two people who were still puzzled and sorry for Li Kong's insistence on leaving Eindhoven in the first place.
After all, when everyone was still playing echelon games and training together, Li Kong's talent was already favored by many youth coaches in the Eredivisie, including even well-known youth coaches of Ajax and Feyenoord.
And this is one of the reasons why PSV Eindhoven has repeatedly made offers to Seoul FC to seek a buyout option for Lee Kong.
Li Kong can only smile indifferently at this topic, he has his persistence.
After all, if he had stayed in the Netherlands, he would probably not have played in the Eredivisie until now, and if he asked for a loan, he would be an Asian player who has never proven himself in the Eredivisie, at best, he would have played in the Eredivisie.
And the K League is not necessarily worse than the Dutch Second Division, coupled with the longing for Kim Taeyeon and his family at that time, Li Kong made the decision to return to South Korea.
At the end of the day, it's a matter of choice.
And now it seems that the results of his choice are not bad, at least he thinks that he has learned a lot in the K-League in the past six months, including professional experience that he has never had before, which happens to be important for young players.
He happily invited a few teammates to have a meal in a mid-range restaurant in Eindhoven and catch up with the old days, and the next day Li Kong threw himself into intense special training.
Although he had adapted to the relatively slow pace of the K-League, Li Kong's physical instincts quickly helped him adjust to the optimum condition when he returned to the familiar and fast-paced European-style training.
And his growth in the K League in the past six months has also been seen by several coaches who were familiar with him at the beginning.
Li Kong not only performed more calmly and easily than before in the training with the ball, but also surprised several coaches in terms of physical fitness tests.
At the beginning, he had the title of "Little Monster" in the youth academy in Eindhoven, and at that time, there were a lot of white and black young players in the youth academy in Eindhoven, and Li Kong could still win this title, which shows his physical fitness.
And now he seems to have improved his physical and physical confrontation skills again!
The training level of Asian football is certainly incomparable with that of Europe, but Li Kong has achieved good training results in the training base of Seoul FC with strict self-discipline and diligent training.
And with Li Kong bringing this hard work back to Eindhoven again, the hard training deeds of the former "little Chinese monster" seem to be an example for various youth coaches to spur their own young players~
The cold winter has completely arrived, and the footsteps of 07 have quietly sounded in everyone's ears.
There was a hard-working, silent figure in Eindhoven's training base, sweating it out, repeating the boring daily training every day, over and over again, just as he had done for the previous year and a half.
Only this time, he was more focused, more engaged and ""!
And in the new season of the K League, he is also destined to make all opponents, as well as those media and fans who follow him feel "shocked" again.
I can't wait to destroy you!
New Year's adversaries, are you ready for my bombardment?
