Qin Lin met head coach Zhao Kangming in the elevator of the hotel with his suitcase, and he asked the other party with his mobile phone: "Where is the youth storm?" ”

On the mobile phone is a news report about yesterday's Super Cup, and the headline of the report is exactly what Zhao Kangming said in response to Chen Jianyu's question: "Zhao Kangming: Our goal is relegation"

Zhao Kangming laughed: "I thought about it, it's better to keep a low profile." Let's wait for the storm to blow. ”

"You don't want to put too much pressure on those young people, do you?"

"That's right. You see, yesterday when I was asked by reporters, I didn't mention Hulai and them, but in today's news reports, some media still think that your choice to retire has something to do with Hulai. There are even media who say that the reason why you chose to retire is because Xia Xiaoyu squeezed your place......"

Qin Lin also saw those reports, and he shook his head: "In a sense, it does have something to do with them, but it must be a different relationship from what the media thinks." ”

"We knew it in our hearts, but the media didn't think so, so I decided not to add fuel to the fire. You said you were going to retire on the front foot, and I said on the back foot that the storm of youth was blowing, what do others think? This storm swept you away first? ”

Qin Lin smiled: "Who said that it can only be scraped away?" Why can't it be 'Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles'? ”

"You're retiring, where else can you go?"

"Be a coach. Lao Zhao, let me tell you, maybe we will be opponents on the field in a few years. When the time comes, I will definitely tell the media that I didn't have a penny to do with you when I decided to retire! ”

"It's nothing to do with me...... Zhao Kangming suddenly reacted, "No, you kid yin me!" ”

Qin Lin laughed.

From last night to today, the sense of loss and reluctance that finally made the decision to retire was swept away in laughter.

When Qin Lin and Zhao Kangming boarded the bus together and prepared to go to the airport, the originally lively carriage suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at Qin Lin who was on the train.

Xia Xiaoyu stood up and said in a bit of a panic: "Brother Lin, will you retire because of my ......?"

Apparently he also saw that media article.

Qin Lin glared at Xia Xiaoyu: "You think too much, before you entered the first team, I decided to retire after playing this season." If you don't believe it, ask them ......"

He said, pointing to the other players in the carriage.

Xia Xiaoyu said: "But Hulai said no......"

Qin Lin was amused: "That kid is full of nonsense, why do you believe him?" ”

Hulai protested: "Brother Lin, you can't say that about me! I just can't bear to retire you! We are all reluctant to ......."

This time, no one in the carriage laughed, and everyone nodded along with Hulai's words.

Qin Lin's nose was a little sour, he calmed down before saying, "I have decided this a long time ago, and it has nothing to do with you, Xiaoyu." Ever since I was injured at the Sparkling Star, I made up my mind to retire when my contract expired......"

When he talked about the injury, Zhang Qinghuan lowered his head.

It was Qin Lin's serious injury that gave him a chance, and it was precisely by taking advantage of Qin Lin's injury that he regained his appreciation.

In a sense, he can be regarded as the beneficiary of Qin Lin's injury.

If Qin Lin hadn't been seriously injured at the beginning, it was hard to say whether he would have had a chance to prove it again.

Maybe Qin Lin doesn't have to retire now, and he can play football for a few more years, and what he is doing now is really unpredictable......

Qin Lin noticed Zhang Qinghuan's lowered head, and he continued: "But it's not right to say that my decision to retire has nothing to do with you. There are some things that Director Zhao didn't say outside, because he was afraid of bringing pressure to you. But I think it's okay to be inside behind closed doors. The reason why I have rejected the persuasion of Director Zhao and Manager Dong many times and decided to retire very resolutely is also because I saw your ......"

He turned his gaze to the young faces in turn.

"Seeing that you guys are getting better and better, growing faster and faster, I think I can retire with confidence. Everybody knows ꓹ Coach Lechmann sent us a message of 'Welcome to the Super League' at the post-match press conference, and in response, Coach Zhao said that our goal is relegation. But I want to say that Director Zhao is worried about bringing too much pressure to you, and what he originally wanted to say was......"

Speaking of this, he glanced back at Zhao Kangming and asked, "Director Zhao can I say it?" ”

Zhao Kangming waved his hand: "Say it, say it, you've said it, can I still gag you?" ”

Qin Lin, who was allowed to do so, turned around and said to his teammates in the carriage: "Director Zhao originally wanted to respond to Coach Lechman's words very simply, he wanted to tell everyone...... 'The Youth Storm has been generated and is about to land in the Chinese Super League'. ”

Hearing what Director Zhao was originally going to say, many people in the team were shocked, and the eyes that looked at Director Zhao became different.

"I don't say that to the public, but in the team, I hope that everyone can work hard to turn themselves into a storm. No matter what our results are in the end, we must also leave a deep impression on everyone on the stage of the Chinese Super League! Let them remember many, many years later that in the 2024 season of the Chinese Super League, there is a small spark ꓹ In the storm, it has become a prairie fire and swept the country! ”

When Qin Lin said this, Zhao Kangming saw that the eyes of those young people obviously bloomed.

Before the plane of the Shining Star team arrived at the airport in Jincheng, many local media and fans had already gathered there.

There weren't enough people in the terminal, so they poured into the parking lot outside, from the terminal passage to where the Shining Star's bus was parked.

A reporter from Anton TV interviewed the scene and found that some of these fans were waiting at the airport five hours in advance, just so that when the flashing star players walked out of the exit, they could see the banners in their hands without hindrance.

The banner read: "Spark the Prairie Fire! ”

This is the best wishes and expectations of the Twinkle fans for their home team.

With the appearance of the whole team of Shining Star, the scene was in a commotion.

Seeing the enthusiastic fans and media coming to pick up the plane, Zhao Kangming asked the two captains, Qin Lin and Li Tielin, to take out the Super Cup and show it to everyone present.

The reporters' cameras focused on the trophy, with all the players of the shining star as the background, pressed the shutter in their hands, and the flash lights on the scene lit up, illuminating the room in snow-white.

Dong Wen, as the general manager of the club, thanked the media friends and fans on behalf of the whole team at the scene, and he kept giving his hands: "Thank you to the fathers and fellow villagers!" Thank you, fellow relatives! In addition to the friends here, I would also like to thank the fans and friends who traveled with the team to the away game! Thank you! The initial goal of our Shining Star Club's 'rooted in Andong and facing the whole country' can be said to have been initially achieved so far! On behalf of Anton Club, I solemnly promise to you: I will do my best to play the next Chinese Super League! Never disgrace Anton football and Anton people! ”

"Good!!" His speech won bursts of applause and warm applause from the audience.

Then the players of the team, under the guidance of the Super Cup, welcomed by the fans and reporters, passed through the crowd, boarded the bus, and under the escort of the team of Shining Star fans, they drove all the way to the training base of the Shining Star Club in Liucheng District.

Junhei Morikawa lay on the window glass of the bus, staring wide-eyed at the flashing star team flag raised by the fans from the sunroof of the car, and cruising on both sides of the bus with the horn all the way.

Through this U23 Asian Cup, he knew that Chinese fans are no less enthusiastic about football than Japanese fans, but he did not expect him to be able to see this scene in China - he originally thought that such a picture would only happen in Europe, where football is most developed......

And his Chinese teammates didn't do much better than him.

"I'll ...... If you want to say that we have won the Chinese Super League championship, I believe ......" Chen Xingyi looked at the car outside and marveled.

"Last time I won the FA Cup at my home stadium, I didn't feel too much. The way out of the airport this time is indeed spectacular...... "Zhang Qinghuan, a well-informed person who has seen Longteng in the capital, also admires the enthusiasm of the shining star fans.

Wang Guangwei looked out the car window and muttered, "I want to be the storm that Brother Ringe said." ”

"I want to, too." Hulai, who was next to him, said, "Then I can take it and pretend to be a force." ”

Wang Guangwei turned his head to look at him: "How can you pretend to be this?" ”

"When someone sings about us and says we can't withstand the storm, we can contradict them: No, I'm the storm!"

Wang Guangwei was stunned for a moment, and then gave Hu Lai a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being the king of forcing the king, and you are still an expert in pretending to be forced!" ”

Outside the car window, the cars of the shining stars fans are walking along the road.

Inside the car, the shining star players watched this scene and yearned for becoming a storm.
