Chapter 400: Olympic Fever 54
The next day, Chen Feng went to the national team to report for training as usual, and at noon he still ate sports nutrition meals in the canteen of the track and field team.
After lunch, I rested for about half an hour in the rest room, and all aspects of my body recovered. He only needs to go into deep sleep now, half an hour, which is completely worth five or six hours of high-quality sleep for ordinary people.
After the break, Chen Feng took out his mobile phone and called the current vice president of the Football Association, Xi Zhaolong. As for how did the phone number come about? This is not difficult for Chen Feng, he called Dark directly last night and asked him to come.
Actually, he didn't have to bother Dark at all. For example, the deputy director of the General Administration who came to visit him at noon yesterday gave him a business card, as long as Chen Feng passed this deputy bureau, of course, he could easily get Zhao Long's mobile phone number.
As soon as the phone was connected, Zhao Long over there was also more polite: "Hey, hello, who are you looking for?" β
Chen Feng reported to his home and said, "Hello, Vice Chairman Zhao, I'm Chen Feng." is Chen Feng, who is singing and acting, and is now preparing for the Olympic Games. β
"You? Are you kidding? Zhao Long obviously didn't believe it, picked up the phone and looked at the mobile phone number on the screen, there was nothing special, it was a very ordinary number.
"No kidding. I am Chen Feng. Do you know Deputy Director Liu ** of the General Administration, I met and chatted with him in the canteen of the national track and field team at noon yesterday, and his mobile phone number is 13 ......, you can check it. β
Deputy Director Liu ** is Zhao Long's superior leader, and when Zhao Long heard Chen Feng report this mobile phone number, he immediately believed it. Because of this mobile phone number, Zhao Long already remembered that the melon was ripe.
"You are really Chen Feng. So what do you have to do with me? Although Zhao Long still couldn't fully believe it, his attitude was much more polite.
Chen Feng didn't say much nonsense, and directly stated his purpose: "That's the case." I'm going to join the national team, so I hope you can be accommodating. If it's convenient for you, I'll visit you in the afternoon. I am willing to accept your on-site assessment. β
"Ahh This one...... You're not kidding, are you? Are you really Chen Feng? Zhao Long couldn't help but doubt again, "I haven't heard of it, Chen Feng can play football?" Besides, aren't you actively preparing for the Olympics? Can you have the time and energy to join our national team? β
"Vice Chairman Zhao, if it is convenient for you, I can go to see you now, and accept your football assessment, if my football competition level meets the requirements of the national football team, I hope you can be accommodating and let me join."
After Zhao Long pondered for a while, he nodded and said: "Okay, if you can, please come over to the Football Association now, the specific address is in ***." I'll wait for you. β
A superstar like Chen Feng, a national hero, and an Olympic hero, Zhao Long naturally didn't dare to slack off, whether this call was a prank or not, he had to give it a try. If it is really Chen Feng himself, and after the on-site test, his football level can pass, he really doesn't mind giving Chen Feng a chance.
Not to mention the rest, in terms of the morale of the team, the current situation of internal contradictions can be contained and improved. Not to mention, if there is a big star like Chen Feng joining, it will bring a fame effect to the national football team.
"Okay, I'll go over now, I should be there in half an hour. See you later. Bye. β
"Okay, I'll see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng simply cleaned up and set off for the office of the Football Association. On the way, Chen Feng first called the leader of the swimming team to ask for leave, saying that he might be late or not go over this afternoon.
If you change to other athletes, no matter how big the team leader is, you must ask the reason in detail, or refuse directly. But Chen Feng was of course an exception, the team leader didn't ask anything, he agreed very happily, and didn't specifically ask Chen Feng to come over as soon as possible.
The main reason why this team leader is so easy to talk is, of course, that Chen Feng is too big, and it is not something that a small team leader can offend. The second is that Chen Feng's side has been talking to the General Administration and even several national teams from the beginning of the year, and he can come here to report for training, but everything has to be up to him. This includes taking a leave of absence or leaving for something, and even how to train. They just need to do their duty to assist him and try not to interfere with him.
If someone else made such an unreliable and excessive request, of course it was impossible to agree, but it was still that sentence, Chen Feng was a special case. Chen Feng just said simply: if not, he will reduce the number of entries he will take. Let the General Directorate completely compromise on its side. The General Administration has compromised, and the national teams below certainly have no reason not to agree.
Chen Feng didn't even need to call the team leader to ask for leave to report, and it was already very face-saving to be able to call him.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Feng's motorcade arrived at the location of the office of the Football Association, and saw Zhao Long waiting with a few people at its door from a distance.
Zhao Long is now in his early fifties, and his spirit still looks relatively good. He is also relatively young, he has been in office for more than three years. has also been scolded by fans around the world for almost three years. As for the reason, of course, since he took over the overall management of football affairs, both men's and women's football teams have suffered a big decline in performance. From the original world-class women's football team, it has slipped to the second rate in Asia, and the men's football team has slipped from the first class in Asia to the third rate in Asia.
Therefore, his work performance as vice chairman in the past three years has been really bad. In his previous life, he would leave class after the Olympics. Then he was imprisoned for a few years.
And in this time and space, even because of Chen Feng's butterfly, the national football team has still been firmly declining in recent years. The past three years have been almost the same as the plane in the previous life.
Of course, Chen Feng himself doesn't like this, but now if he wants to join the national football team quickly, he must have this person's approval. It can even be said that Chen Feng came here to save him this time. If he hadn't joined the national football team and saved the national football team, he would have walked into the prison cage step by step according to the original historical trajectory.
"It's really you. Great, welcome, welcome. β
After Chen Feng got out of the car, he took the lead and took the initiative to walk towards Zhao Long. He showed his true face, only wearing a pair of sunglasses, Zhao Long had the heart to recognize it, of course, he recognized it at once, and immediately hurriedly greeted him, greeting Chen Feng loudly with a smile on his face.
After all, this time he came over to ask for him, Chen Feng still gave more face, signaled the bodyguard not to stop him, and also slightly quickened his pace to shake hands with him and say hello.
Fortunately, at noon at this time, there were hardly many people entering and leaving the office building. Even if a few people came and went, because Chen Feng was wearing big sunglasses, he didn't recognize him at once.
After a simple greeting with each other, Zhao Long also realized Chen Feng's special identity, so he didn't say much to Chen Feng, but immediately invited Chen Feng to his office for a detailed discussion.
After entering the office building, someone passing by with sharp eyes finally found Chen Feng, and immediately a scream sounded, and then a few more recognized him and ran over excitedly to approach him, but they were all stopped by Chen Feng's bodyguards.
It's a commercial building that the Football Association moved in just last year, with offices on the 7th and 8th floors.
Zhao Long's office is on the eighth floor.
In the office, Zhao Long personally made tea for Chen Feng enthusiastically. And sat down with Chen Feng on the hospitality sofa instead of sitting in the boss's chair behind his large desk.
"Chen Feng, to be honest, I really thought it was someone's prank when you called me before. Because it was really unexpected. Now that I've seen you in real person, I have to believe it. β
Zhao Long looked at Chen Feng with a kind smile on his face.
"It's indeed a bit abrupt to contact you suddenly this time." Chen Feng said politely.
"Where, where? You are a hero of our country, and everyone mentions you. Not to mention anything else, your achievements in the Athens Olympics were unprecedented, and I believe it will be difficult to have anyone again. Except, of course, for yourself. Hehe, you said you wanted to join our national football team. I would have thought it was a joke or a prank for someone else to make such a sudden request, and it was impossible to believe their strength. But you're different, because you proved yourself at the Olympics four years ago. I'm sure that since you're here in person, you must have the right level of football. On behalf of our Football Association, I sincerely invite you to join us. β
Chen Feng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect that Zhao Long would agree to join him without saying a word. I haven't seen his football skills yet. It's also too trusting of him.
"Vice Master Zhao, it won't be you joking with me this time. I haven't even been formally tested and assessed, and you agree? You trust me too much, don't you? β
Zhao Long said with a smile: "Of course it's impossible to joke with you. It's not that I trust you too much, it's that you've proven yourself. You have so much confidence to come to me and ask to join the national football team, and of course I am confident that you also have real material in football. β
Although this is said more beautifully and seems very sincere, Chen Feng doesn't believe it very much. In fact, although Zhao Long somewhat believes that Chen Feng's football level should have a brush, he doesn't think it is very powerful. However, it is obvious that Chen Feng's football level is not the most important, but the most important thing is Chen Feng's person, Chen Feng's fame, and the many favorable aspects that Chen Feng brought to their side after joining the national football team.
Therefore, even if Chen Feng's real football level is very bad, Zhao Long welcomes Chen Feng to join, because Chen Feng can be used as the mascot of their national football team at that time.
Chen Feng can roughly guess the reason why Zhao Long welcomes him so much, in short, it is definitely not because Zhao Long believes that Chen Feng's football level is very good.
"Thank you for your trust. However, I think I still have to participate in the necessary tests and assessments, so that everyone is convinced, and then I will officially join the national football team. β
Zhao Long didn't insist when he heard this, but just nodded slightly and said, "Since you insist, of course I won't object." It's just that now our national football team is training in Kuncheng, and the two coaches Du Yi and Forado are also there. So, it's a bit of a hassle to have them test and evaluate you......"
Of course Chen Feng understood what he meant, he couldn't let them all rush to the capital from Kuncheng. Chen Feng was also prepared for this, so he said: "I originally planned to go to Kuncheng in person after I got your consent here, in addition to being tested and assessed by the coach, I am also familiar with my teammates." β
"Okay, then no problem. I can go with you. In terms of timing, you arrange. Zhao Long said happily.
Chen Feng then said: "Without further ado, if it is convenient for you, Vice Chairman Zhao, you can go with me now." Well, come along on my private jet. β
Zhao Long was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "That's good." It's been a privilege to fly on your private jet, and I can't ask for it. However, I would like to ask you to wait a little longer, but I will first explain some of the work at hand, and prepare some changes of clothes. Then I can set off with you. β
"Okay, I can wait for you in my car downstairs first, and when you're ready, come down and meet me."
"Okay, then please wait for me. I'll get the matter at hand as soon as possible. β
β¦β¦
It is rare for both of them to have some resolute personalities, and Chen Feng still appreciates him more at this point. Neither of them said much nonsense and clichΓ©s. Therefore, there are two sides to human beings. Since Zhao Long took office, although his work performance is very unsatisfactory and bad, it cannot be said that he is a bad person. And in the time and space of his previous life, he was imprisoned a few years later, and his various charges really need to be investigated in detail, which is debatable. As for his bribery, it can be said that it is the unspoken rule of the industry. If you really want to treat everyone equally, if you dig deeper, he is not the only one who has taken bribes.
Of course, this is not to say that he did not violate the law by accepting money from others, but that from the perspective of professional ethics, he is considered to be qualified in the entire system and system. As for the fact that the national football team has been going downhill since he took office, he is indeed to blame. He, a football layman, really can't lead the work and career of football. For example, the two coaches on the men's football team, one Dui is the head coach of the men's football team, and the other is the executive coach of the men's football team, he chose the wrong one. Although these two foreign coaches were originally friends and compatriots, because of their different coaching philosophies, there are serious differences and are in the midst of infighting.
Therefore, the original strength of the men's football team is like this, and your two coaches are still fighting among themselves. And the players in the team are also in their own gangs, and it is strange to be able to qualify.
If you really want to dig deeper, in the previous life, in the world preliminaries, the Chinese men's football team was at the bottom of the group stage, not without reason. It's not just a matter of their own strength. It's the main problem of disunity in the whole team, from the manager to the players. (To be continued.) )
