Chapter 42: Why Shining Star?
Junhei Morikawa retrieves the jersey he had placed with the framer.
Hu Lai's No. 14 Chinese jersey was flattened and sandwiched in a glass frame.
He carefully hung it on the wall, right next to the first Hulay jersey.
Then he stepped back and looked up at the two red jerseys side by side on the wall.
He felt a double source of power.
Just then, his phone rang.
When I picked it up, I found that it was the agent Mitsui Takashi calling: "There is one thing, I want to tell you about it, and then listen to your opinion, Junpei." ”
"Mr. Mitsui, what's the matter?"
"Yes, the club has received an offer from a Chinese club and they are pursuing you."
"Huh?" Junhei Morikawa was surprised, "Me? Chinese clubs? Why? ”
"I think it's your performance in this Under-23 Asian Cup that has attracted their attention."
"What's the attitude of the club?"
"They don't seem to want to agree, but I can't say for sure, because they didn't reject the Chinese club outright, otherwise why would they ask me to ask your opinion?"
"I'll listen to the club......"
Before Junhei Morikawa finished speaking, he heard Mr. Mitsui, the agent on the other end of the phone, chuckle: "Are you sure, Junpei?" Are you sure you want to turn down this opportunity? ”
"What's wrong, Mr. Mitsui?"
"Wouldn't you first ask which Chinese team is interested in you?"
"Uh, which one?"
"Anton Shiningstar."
"Huh? Eh——?! Morikawa's eyes widened, and he reflexively looked up at the wall directly across from him, to be exact, at the two jerseys hanging on that wall.
Anton Shin Star, is Hulaisan's club!
He heard Mr. Mitsui's laughter on the other end of the phone: "Junpei, do you really want to follow the club's arrangement and refuse to play in Hulai's team?" ”
As Junhei Morikawa's agent, he naturally knows the weight of the name Hulai.
"No, Mr. Mitsui! I want to play football in China! ”
Almost without hesitation, Junpei Morikawa had already made a decision.
"But I'm afraid the club won't let you go so easily. If it was a year ago, it would have been possible, but now that you are the main midfielder of Kobe Springs, it is not easy to get the club to let you go. ”
"I can go to Mr. Kawamoto's office and kneel in front of him and beg him to let me go!" Junhei Morikawa literally knelt on the ground as he spoke, facing Hulai's two jerseys.
"If you really do this, I bet Mr. Mikio Kawamoto will never let you go......" Even if it is Junpei Morikawa's agent, Takachi Mitsui is still very helpless about this young man's secondary two characteristics......
The Mikio Kawamoto they are talking about is the general manager of Kobe Izumizu Club in the Japanese J2 League, and he has the transfer power.
"What then, Mr. Mitsui? I really want to be teammates with Hulaisan! I believe that I can improve faster by his side, he is my tower of strength......"
Takashi Mitsui interrupted Morikawa Junhei Nakaji Zhiji's words: "Please leave professional things to professional people." I'm also making this call to confirm your intentions with you. If you're willing, I'll do it for you no matter what. ”
"I do, Mr. Mitsui! I am 100% willing! ”
"That's good, you just have to wait for my news."
"No problem, Mr. Mitsui, I'll wait, my phone won't turn off twenty-four hours a day! You can call me anytime, even if it's late at night! ”
After the call, Junhei Morikawa continued to kneel on the floor with his phone still in his hand, he straightened his waist and stared at the two jerseys on the wall.
He held this position for a long time.

When Junhei Morikawa went to the team to train, he found that there was something that the Chinese club was interested in him, and it had quickly spread in the team.
In the dressing room, he was questioned by his seniors.
"Why play in China?"
"The level of Chinese football is far inferior to our Japanese ......"
"You've finally become the main player of the team, why would you venture to a strange country?"
"I know that Hulay is here, but for the sake of such a person, you really have to give up everything here?"
In the face of everyone's questions, Junhei Morikawa gave a positive answer very resolutely.
"Yes, I'm going to play in China! I believe going there has been helpful for my uplift. ”
A group of people looked at Junpei Morikawa, whose faces seemed to be shining, shook their heads and stopped talking.
As a teammate, everyone knows Junhei Morikawa's temper and character, and knows that he is a junior high school boy, no matter what others say, if he has an idea in his heart, then he will easily immerse himself in his own world.
Now that Junhei Morikawa has already decided it, it is useless for them to say anything.
Some people even brought up the Olympics, saying that if Junhei Morikawa went to play in China, then he would not get the attention of Koichi Sato, and he might be excluded from the squad by the national Olympic team and not be able to participate in the Madrid Olympics this summer.
This did not shake Morikawa's determination.
After the training, the manager and the club manager also talked to him separately and his attitude was still very resolute.
Head coach Nakao even asserted that Junhei Morikawa would regret his stubbornness in the future, and that it would not be easy for him to return to play in Japan after discovering that he could not establish himself in China.
Junhei Morikawa was unmoved.
To everyone, he looked like he was stunned.
In order to play in China, you can do whatever it takes.
I don't know what's good in China, and I don't know what kind of magic that Hulai has, just a name can make Junhei Morikawa desperate......

"Good news, Lao Zhao!" Dong Wen made an international call to Zhao Kangming. "We have already negotiated a transfer for Junhei Morikawa! Tomorrow afternoon we will come back with Junpei Morikawa and his agent! ”
This news is indeed good news for Zhao Kangming, he smiled: "Your movements are fast enough!" It's only been a week, isn't it? ”
'Of course it has to be quick, there is not much time left for him to integrate into the team.'
"It's okay, old Dong. He won't be allowed to play as soon as he comes, he has a lot of things to adapt to, not only football, but also language and living habits. ”
"Hey, speaking of which, you know what, Lao Zhao? Junpei Morikawa, this kid is already starting to learn Chinese! Can you believe it? Dong Wen's laughter came from the other end of the phone.
Zhao Kangming was really surprised: "Learn Chinese? ”
"Yes, his agent said that after knowing that our club was interested in him, he had already started to learn Chinese on his own, and now he can say something very Chinese simple, such as hello goodbye or something......
"Is Hulay's influence so great?" Zhao Kangming couldn't understand it.
"Hey, I'll tell you Lao Zhao, Hu Lai is almost a god in this kid's mind! He took me to his own rental house and as soon as I walked through the door...... Good guys, two of Hulai's Chinese jerseys are hanging on the wall of his house! He also proudly told us that if he was depressed and miserable and lost his fighting spirit, he would come here and meditate on Hulay's jersey and then regain his fighting spirit...... It's the first time I've ever known that Hulai's jersey can be used as a wireless charging dock......"
Zhao Kangming thought about that picture for a while and felt ...... unimaginable. He shook his head, ordinary people really couldn't imagine such a scene.
"And Lao Zhao, I found that this kid doesn't know if he doesn't have any tendons in his brain, and sometimes he is crazy when he talks and acts...... Regarding this, his agent tactfully told us, saying that he was deeply influenced by anime......"
"Hey, don't worry." Zhao Kangming shook his head. "Didn't he worship Hulai? I'll leave it to Hulai. ”
"Hulai has a way?"
"Hulai and Morikawa's brain waves may be more compatible."
“……”
Zhao Kangming, who hung up the phone, continued to look at the detailed report on the computer about Junhei Morikawa, and said in great detail and clearly about his strengths and weaknesses in this report.
Junhei Morikawa's physical confrontation ability is indeed not strong enough, but this does not mean that his physical fitness is not good. After all, endurance and running ability are also a type of physical fitness.
And in this regard, Morikawa Junpei's ability can be described as excellent.
He didn't seem to know what tiredness was.
In addition, he also has a good way of judging the choice of the opponent's passing route. This allows him to defend without relying on his body and his mind when he is playing as a midfielder.
Excellent game reading ability and running ability, although not outstanding, can still play the main role in the Japanese J2 League team Kobe Onsen.
This is exactly what Zhao Kangming needs.
The arrival of Junhei Morikawa is equivalent to filling in the last piece of the puzzle for this shining star.
※※※
When Dong Wen finished the phone call with Zhao Kangming, the news that Anton Shining Star signed Junhei Morikawa was finally broken by the media.
waited for the dust to settle before there was news in the media, and I have to say that Dong Wen's secrecy work is still in place.
After this news was exposed, it also caused a heated discussion on the Internet.
After all, there are still a few Japanese players who come to play in the Chinese league.
In comparison, there are many grievances and hatreds between Korean football and Chinese football, but there are many Korean players who play in the Chinese league, including many international players of the Korean national team.
Junhei Morikawa is the only Japanese player currently playing in the Chinese Super League.
Many people have also watched the U23 Asian Cup that has just ended, and Morikawa Junpei's ability is naturally needless to say.
However, because of his Japanese identity, there are still some ...... Susceptible.
For Shiningstar's choice to introduce such a Japanese player, many people are not very acceptable.
Why did the shining star have to bring in a Japanese player, and he is also a player who caused us problems in the U23 Asian Cup, isn't this to develop talent for the opponent?
Many fans of the flash star are very puzzled by this.
Is there no good back in the country?
Even if we can't buy those excellent backs, can't Shi Junde? As a result, they sold their families...... Sold a little Japanese after selling?
So when Junpei Morikawa followed Dong Wen to the airport in Jincheng, he saw more than 20 reporters waiting at the exit with long guns and short cannons.
"Wow! Are they all here to welcome me! Junhei Morikawa asked his agent, Takashi Mitsui, a little excitedly.
Takashi Mitsui obviously knows some of the information behind this transfer, so he also knows why so many reporters came to the airport to block them.
But when he saw Junhei Morikawa smiling so happily, he felt that if he told him the truth about the controversy behind it, it might not be a good thing for Junhei Morikawa. This kid's brain is too flat, and it's easy to get confused when thinking about too complex problems......
Anyway, he doesn't understand Chinese very well, so he should have come to welcome him.
So he nodded: "It should be." ”
"I didn't expect me to be so popular in China!" Junhei Morikawa was even happier, and he took the initiative to wave to the reporters.
With a wave of his hand, the reporters came up and squeezed forward desperately.
Squeezed in front of the group, the microphone, mobile phone, and voice recorder all stretched out.
"May I ask Junhei Morikawa, what made you choose to join Shiningstar?" A reporter asked a question that everyone wanted to know.
After the temporary translator next to him translated the question to Morikawa Junpei, Morikawa Junpei grinned and shouted, "Hulai! ”
Then he changed to Japanese and said, "It's because of Hulaisan." In my mind, Hule is a gentle and kind player, and he is the source of my strength to play. When I heard that there was a chance to play next to Hulaisan, I didn't hesitate to say yes to all the conditions of the shining star, hoping to be here as soon as possible! Now I'm finally here...... I can't wait to start training because then I'll be able to meet Hulaisan up close! I want to thank him in person and pay tribute! He will always be my role model! ”
When he finished saying these words with emotion, the translator was stunned, and he didn't know how to translate such a meaty and middle two words......
The reporters present turned their attention to the translator.
In front of everyone's eyes, the translator's face changed several times, and then said: "He said that because he is Hulai's fan brother, he chose to join Shining Star." ”
A reporter couldn't help but ask, "No...... Didn't he babble on and on for a long time? That's the way it is translated? ”
The translator reluctantly explained: "That's what it means, and the specific content is full of ...... Uh, full of his personal touch. ”
When the reporters were still struggling with the translator to confirm what Morikawa Junpei said, Morikawa Junpei, who had been smiling like a statue after speaking, suddenly opened his arms and almost hit Dong Wen next to him, startling the latter.
Naturally, his actions also attracted the attention of everyone present, and even the interpreter looked at him, and at the same time, he was mentally ready to translate what he was going to say next......
In front of everyone's eyes, Junhei Morikawa shouted affectionately in the familiar Chinese tone of the Japanese devil in the anti-Japanese drama: "Hu Laisan, I love you!" ”
