What's going on between you and Zhang Qinghuan? ”

In the away hotel room, Qin Lin asked his roommate Hu Lai.

In the previous training, he had been observing from the side, and it could be seen that Zhang Qinghuan seemed to be very bad with Hu Lai. But he couldn't understand that these two people should have had nothing to do with each other before.

"Hey, it's not a big deal...... Hulai explained. To put it simply, I acted bravely to help a girl who was heartbroken by a scumbag. ”

Qin Lin: ???

Qin Lin, who was stunned for a few seconds, frowned and said, "Talk about people!" ”

"Uh, yes!" Then Hu Lai told Qin Lin that he and Wang Guangwei went to Senwei Road for dinner on Thursday night, and then met Zhang Qinghuan who was also eating there, and was so frightened that a woman who came to the door and ran away.

After hearing this, Qin Lin frowned and asked, "No, what's the matter with you when someone picks up a girl and rolls over?" Why do you have to get involved? ”

Hulai pouted: "I don't like him. ”

"Why?" Qin Lin was even more surprised, "Are you jealous of how many women there are?" ”

Hu Lai hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no!" ”

Then he repeated the reason he said to Wang Guangwei in front of Qin Lin.

“…… is obviously so talented, the football road is smooth, and the future is limitless, but he doesn't know how to cherish it, and he spends all his thoughts and energy on women all day long...... When I saw such a person, I wanted to play tricks on him and make him suffer a little. ”

Hearing Hu Lai say this, Qin Lin sighed, and then said nothing.

Seeing this, Hu Lai was a little apprehensive - could it be that the big guy disagreed with my approach? Think I'm nosy, think I'm small-minded?

So he rolled his eyes, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Brother Lin, I was wrong!" You're right, no matter what Zhang Qinghuan does, it doesn't matter to me, I shouldn't be nosy......"

Hu Lai, who was in a panic and wanted to save his image in front of Qin Lin, heard a chuckle.

"A word of advice, Hulai. You must not be in a hurry to apologize in front of your girlfriend like this, otherwise it will make your girlfriend think that you have done something wrong, and that will be serious. ”

Hu Lai raised his head and saw Qin Lin looking at him with a smile, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, Brother Lin." I don't even have a girlfriend, so I can't do anything I want! ”

Qin Lin laughed, then stared at Hu Lai with a smile, staring at him confused: "Brother Lin? ”

When Hu Lai called the other party lightly, he found that Qin Lin's eyes had obviously refocused and regained his spirit.

He shook his head: "You're not right...... No, I wasn't right, if someone had ...... No, if I had been able to meddle as much as you did, maybe Zhang Qinghuan wouldn't be what he is today......"

Hulai: ???

This time it was his turn to have a lot of question marks.

Seeing Hu Lai's bewildered look, Qin Lin smiled and said, "Do you know that Zhang Qinghuan is called 'China's Francis'?" ”

Hulai nodded.

"Then do you know that after he first debuted, he was first called 'Qin Lin's successor' by the media?"

Hulai shook his head.

"It's normal not to know, because he quickly earned the nickname 'Francis of China', and it is clear that Louis Francis is more famous than Qin Lin." Speaking of this, Qin Lin smiled, and then he told Hu Lai the story of himself and Zhang Qinghuan.

"When I first heard the media say that someone was my successor, I was still very unhappy, because I was only thirty-three years old at that time, and I was not old, so why was I in a hurry to find a successor? It didn't take long for the South China Tiger and Tenglong to meet in the Super League. Zhang Qinghuan, who was only eighteen years old at that time, as the main force of Tenglong, started the game, he was the front midfielder, I was the back midfielder, the two of us were right opposite each other in the game, I was not specifically responsible for defense, but I did defend him in that game......"

Qin Lin still remembers Zhang Qinghuan's eyes when he looked at him on the court, which made him think of a phrase:

Young people are fearless.

At that time, Zhang Qinghuan really exuded an unstoppable aura from top to bottom, and he was full of confidence in his gestures.

In the face of Qin Lin's close defense, he can use his heels to pierce the crotch and play Big Brother around.

It also caused the home fans in the stands of the Gongti stadium to scream again and again, and the cheers were thunderous.

Qin Lin had to take advantage of his physical strength to knock him to the ground from the side and back, and received a yellow card amid the overwhelming boos.

And Zhang Qinghuan, who was stopped by him with a foul, didn't seem to be angry, but sat on the ground and smiled at him.

is also a stall, Qin Lin knows very well that the stall is completely different from his stall to Hu Lai on the training ground yesterday.

“…… At that time, Zhang Qinghuan was very confident, but not arrogant. Now Zhang Qinghuan is very proud, but he is no longer confident. Qin Lin said to Hu Lai.

Hulay pondered his two words.

"We lost away from home in what the media called the 'Dragon and Tiger Fight' and Zhang Qinghuan was voted the best of the match after the game, and he deservedly deserved it. He ran tirelessly throughout the game, constantly searching the pitch for holes in our defence and assisting his team-mates with imaginative passes. If there are no loopholes, then he will break through with the ball himself, disrupt our defense, and create holes himself...... This kind of performance certainly deserved to be the best in the game. Under his drive, the whole body is like a pot of boiling water. I've observed that listening to the shouts of the Tamron fans during the game, it was obvious that our teammates were not breathing...... And this is all caused by Zhang Qinghuan alone. ”

Listening to Qin Lin's description, Hu Lai imagined that picture in his mind. Although he didn't like the current Zhang Qinghuan, he had to admit that the Zhang Qinghuan described by Qin Lin was really handsome......

"It was after this game that everyone stopped calling him my successor, but called him 'China's Francis'."

Hu Lai suddenly - dare to love him, this nickname is earned from you, the big guy......

"After that fight I thought it would be nice to have this kid as my successor, of course I don't plan to retire yet, but I do have the idea of developing him as my successor. But we're not in a club, we don't usually run into each other. Only in the national team...... It didn't take long for him to be selected for the first time in the national team training camp. I stayed in the same room with him when the room was allocated, and I offered it.

"We talked a lot and I had a good relationship with him during that time, although we were each our own masters at the club, but when we came to the national team, we all had one goal - to win glory for the country. I really thought at the time, after he matured quickly, I partnered with him in the midfield, I controlled the tempo in the back, he organized the attack in front, and the Chinese team might not be able to participate in the World Cup at the end of this year......"

The 2022 World Cup will still be held in Qatar in this time and space, and it will be held in December at the end of the year.

However, the World Cup qualifiers are all over.

In the qualifiers without Qin Lin's participation, the Chinese team stumbled into the final 12, but failed to successfully qualify.

Hearing Qin Lin say this now, Hu Lai thought to himself that the big guy at that time should not have thought that he would give up participating in this World Cup qualifiers. As a result, he did not even participate in the top 40 this time, and withdrew from the national team after the Asian Cup in early 2019.

If Zhang Qinghuan hadn't become what he is now, and everything was according to the big man's plan, would the Chinese team with him and Zhang Qinghuan really be able to appear in the Qatar World Cup at the end of the year?

But in real life, there is no if, Zhang Qinghuan did not grow up to what everyone expected, Qin Lin also left gloomily after the Asian Cup, and the Chinese national team once again missed the World Cup finals.

As a Chinese football fan, Hu Lai is saddened by this reality.

“…… But then you know. Qin Lin saw that Hu Lai seemed to be a little depressed, so he smiled. In the national team, Zhang Qinghuan has set many records. For example, he is the youngest player to make the men's national team in history, the youngest to score goals, and the player who made the most appearances for the national team before the age of 20 – many players before the age of 20 were still in the national youth team or the national Olympic team, and he already has eight senior national team appearances. However, after the age of twenty, he was not selected for the national team once, and he was removed from the national team because of drunk driving. In fact, even if he doesn't drink and drive, with his performance and condition, the national team will not want his ......"

Now, Zhang Qinghuan, who will turn 23 years old in January next year, still has a national team appearance record of eight.

Twenty-three is the deadline for a player to be able to participate in the Olympics, and players below that age are considered young. For example, the Chinese Super League has an "U23" policy, which stipulates that each team must register three players under the age of 23 in the eighteen-man roster, one of whom must start, and at the same time requires that at least one player under the age of 23 must play at least 60 minutes in a game.

It's about developing young players.

It is not a special case in Chinese football that players under the age of 23 can still be regarded as young players, but the whole world.

The reason why Zhao Kangming couldn't let go of Zhang Qinghuan and loaned him from the capital Tenglong was because Zhang Qinghuan was not yet twenty-three at that time, and he was still a malleable talent in his eyes.

And as he grows older, if Zhang Qinghuan can't change anymore, his future may be stereotyped.

A lot of people don't look at him like a young player anymore, they don't believe that he can change in the future, and they don't tolerate his mistakes. After all, after he is no longer young, no one will give him special preferential treatment.

People will no longer label Zhang Qinghuan as "tomorrow's star" and "genius".

After the first meeting in the league, Zhang Qinghuan and Qin Lin also played each other four times in the league. In a total of five encounters, in terms of team results, Qin Lin won three times, Zhang Qinghuan won twice, and the remaining one was a draw. But in terms of personal duels, Zhang Qinghuan only won that once, and Qin Lin won the remaining four.

As an opponent who had direct conversations on the field, Qin Lin really watched Zhang Qinghuan change little by little from the genius who was full of aura and swayed freely on the court, to the walking dead who was confused and sleepwalking.

"I've thought about whether I should persuade him as someone who has come before. But when I think about other people's passers-by, what does it matter to me? What qualifications and positions do I have to demand that others live according to my ideas? Otherwise, why didn't I restrain my teammates at the South China Tigers first? Speaking of this, Qin Lin shook his head and said. Now I feel that I did something wrong at the beginning, I shouldn't care what others say, I should pull Zhang Qinghuan out of the quagmire, no matter what he thinks, his path is wrong, and the wrong road can't be taken. ”

Hu Lai saw Qin Lin's self-reproaching appearance, and wanted to comfort and comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, could it be that you didn't do anything wrong at the beginning, big guy?

In fact, Hu Lai also felt that since Qin Lin had a good relationship with Zhang Qinghuan and was a senior, why couldn't he persuade the other party? Let's not talk about whether it is useful to persuade it, how do you know that it is useless if you don't persuade it? At that time, Zhang Qinghuan was not deeply trapped, maybe he was persuaded to come back?

It's the same as when the big guy was young.

was taken by the "second brother" to a nightclub for three days, and he couldn't think about it, and in such a situation, he was given a head start by the "second brother", didn't he wake up?

Seeing that Hu Lai was silent, Qin Lin suddenly said, "Hu Lai, don't go the wrong way." You're gifted and have a great personality, and sometimes I'm really worried that you won't be able to resist the temptation...... I also asked for a room with you before the game. ”

"Huh?" Hulai was a little surprised.

"I want to keep an eye on you and not let you learn badly. I couldn't keep an eye on Zhang Qinghuan at the beginning, and I didn't want to make the same mistake again. ”

Hu Lai raised his head and looked at Qin Lin, who was old enough to almost be his father, and found that the other party's expression was quite serious, and it didn't look like he was ridiculing.

So he also said solemnly: "Don't worry, Brother Lin, I finally had the opportunity to play football, and I will never be stupid to the point of Zhang Qinghuan." For Zhang Qinghuan, some things are too easy to come by, so he doesn't know how to cherish them. And what he doesn't know how to cherish is hard-won for me. I didn't pay so much to come here for the sake of mixing. ”

Hearing Hu Lai say this, Qin Lin smiled and nodded: "Go to sleep, tomorrow's game is not good." ”
