Chapter 197: This World Is So Small
Wang Xianke was furious.
The Chinese Super League ended last weekend, but his side were unable to win the league title this season.
They ended up in second place by two points.
Although they won at home in the final round, their title rivals South China Tigers also won.
There has been no change in the score difference between the two sides.
The defending champions failed to defend their title, which is simply unacceptable for the Golden Arrows, who have been leading for almost a season.
After that match, Dashun's local media was filled with criticism of Wang Xianke.
Some people think that his tactics are too rigid, leading the team to a championship last season, and then he has not made any changes, and even the personnel have continued to use last season. However, these players have already won the league title and the lack of motivation for the game has led to the team not being able to win some tough games.
A typical example is the game that caused them to lose the first place in the league, playing Hedong Raiden away, and in the face of Raiden's tenacious and ferocious kicking style, Dashun Golden Arrow seemed a little unable to cope with it.
Others think that Wang Xianke trusts the experienced veteran players too much, but ignores that the average age of this team is 29.5 years old, which ranks first among all the teams participating in the Chinese Super League and is the oldest team in the Chinese Super League this season.
In stark contrast, the South China Tigers who finally counterattacked them and successfully won the championship, after two seasons of blood exchanges, the average age of the South China Tigers is now 26.53 years old, although it is not the youngest team in the Chinese Super League, but this age ensures that they can still have enough physical strength and fewer injuries at the end of the long season.
Dashun Golden Arrows have been suffering from injuries in the second half of this season, which is one of the main reasons why they were finally caught up by the South China Tigers.
What made Wang Xianke even more unhappy was that those who criticized him still used Chen Xingyi to talk about things.
said that the team obviously has excellent young players who are not needed, but would rather go out on loan.
How good Chen Xingyi has performed after being loaned to the Shining Stars, if he can stay at Golden Arrows, he will not be able to contribute in the second half of the season...... With his help, maybe the team will be able to successfully defend the title?
Wang Xianke felt that this was simply nonsense, and he couldn't believe that such a remark would come from the mouth of Dashun TV's own sports commentator......
Isn't the loan of Chen Xingyi just to give him a chance to exercise?
His good performance in the shining star only proves that his training effect is not bad, but it does not prove that he can definitely have a good performance if he stays in the Golden Arrow.
Besides, Chen Xingyi's performance is good, it is also in the Chinese League, what league is Golden Arrow playing?
Super League!
Can a good performance in the Chinese Super League be able to play well?
So take a look at the performance of the top two in the Chinese Super League last season this season?
Those media reporters have gone crazy in order to hack themselves......
He firmly believes that letting Chen Xingyi go out on loan is the right decision, and Chen Xingyi's performance at Shiningxing proves it.
But he also firmly believes that with Chen Xingyi's ability before the loan, it is definitely not enough to gain a foothold in the first team of the Golden Arrows. Even if it's the current Chen Xingyi, it's not good.
Otherwise, why didn't Chen Xingyi slap me in the face in the first leg of the FA Cup final?
It's just that Wang Xianke also knows that he has just lost the league championship now, and everything he says is wrong, so he can't defend himself.
I can only wait until I finish the second leg of the FA Cup final and win the FA Cup before I can take out this bad breath.
The league title is gone, but the team still has an FA Cup to win.
As long as they win the FA Cup this season, it won't be a failure.
In the first leg, the Golden Arrows have won 2:0, leading by two goals on aggregate, even if he goes away, he is not panicked at all.
The players who have already lost the league title will surely pour all their firepower on the shining star under his spur.
He wants to vent his anger on the players, make them feel his anger fully, and then transfer that anger to the shining star.
Before the second leg of the FA Cup final, the more he cursed, the more murderous his players became.
"Husband, husband......"
Wang Xianke was called back to his senses by his wife's soft call, and he turned his head to look at his wife.
His wife is ten years younger than him and forty-two years old, but with careful care and care, this woman's face does not have too many traces of age.
At that time, his wife, who was a model, was tall, and her face was still radiant, looking like she was thirty-four or five years old, with excellent makeup and outfits, her temperament was extremely outstanding. It's impossible to guess that this is a woman who gave birth to two children.
"Hao Hao slept?" Wang Xianke asked.
"Well, I just fell asleep." The wife sat down beside him and gently snuggled up to her husband.
Wang Xianke stretched out his hand and hugged his wife's soft shoulders and squeezed it gently.
Career success is certainly something he is proud of, but his beautiful wife and two children are also achievements that he cherishes.
The eldest daughter has gone to college, and the eight-year-old son Hao Hao is his favorite.
Wang Xianke, who has a successful career and a happy family, is such a winner in life in the eyes of many people.
Although he didn't achieve much success as a professional footballer......
The turning point in his career began when he retired as a coach at the age of thirty-three.
Wang Xianke, who had no outstanding talent when he was playing, found the most suitable job for himself after becoming a coach.
Wang Xianke, who became the head coach of Baishan Lin Chunhongqi at the age of 38, was the youngest head coach of a Chinese top league team in Chinese football at that time - Lin Chunhongqi, who is now up and down in the Chinese League, was also a Chinese Super League team back then.
However, Wang Xianke was not mature enough at that time, and under his leadership, Lin Chunhongqi spent two years to be relegated from the Super League. He also left Lin Chunhongqi's hometown team and went south.
Since then, he has also been the head coach of two Chinese Super League teams, the best of which was leading South Sichuan Hongshui to the FA Cup.
It was the first national victory of his coaching career.
It was also with this championship that he received the favor of another Chinese Super League team, Shanhai Player, and became the head coach of this Shanhai Super League team.
He led the team to the Chinese Super League championship, which was the first Chinese Super League championship since the establishment of Shanhai Hands, and also the first Chinese Super League championship for Wang Xianke.
Wang Xianke, who has proven himself in both teams in a row, was poached by Dashun Golden Arrow, who is eager for revival, and gave him an annual salary of 8 million yuan, which is the highest-paid local coach in the Chinese Super League team.
And Wang Xianke did not live up to the annual salary given to him by the club, and led the team to lead Dashun Golden Arrow to win the Chinese Super League championship in two years, so that Dashun football returned to its original position.
His career has gone on the highway and it is said that the Football Association is preparing to look at him and consider whether to replace the current national team coach Marcel Wilson in the future.
Being able to become the coach of the national team can be said to be the ultimate goal of Wang Xianke's career.
He believes that as long as he continues to maintain this momentum, the position of head coach of the Chinese national team will belong to him sooner or later.
"Still angry about the league?" The wife asked thoughtfully.
"Nope." Wang Xianke shook his head and denied it.
"Don't be angry, I saw an interesting news on the Internet before...... "The wife said as she took out her mobile phone and handed it to Wang Xianke, wanting her husband to share his snack and not dwell on the lost league championship." Look at the news and say you're still related to that Hulai on the Twinkles......"
When Wang Xianke heard his wife say this, he was also curious, and he took the mobile phone.
It's a post in the headlines, saying it's news, but it's actually written by the media, most of this so-called news is not credible, and the headline is very eye-catching, but when you click in to see it, you will find that you have completely wasted a few precious minutes of your life......
However, in front of his wife, Wang Xianke did not show any impatience, he clicked in the expectant gaze of his wife.
“…… A few days ago, some netizens on the Internet of "Goal" exposed the past experience of Hu Lai's father - he turned out to be a professional player, so the editor can immediately understand why Hu Lai, a high school student, was able to become a monk halfway through, and quickly grew into the top scorer of the shining star when he was exposed to football training in his first year of high school - it turned out to be of family blood!
Some netizens posted photos of Hulai's father playing football back then...... The third from the right in the second row of the picture is Hu Lai's father Hu Lixin! He was a player of the U20 of Baishan Tianchi back then......"
Originally, Wang Xianke, who pretended to look at his perfunctory wife, but when he saw the name of "Hu Lixin", his pupils shrank.
Then he continued to watch very seriously.
“…… And we all know that Wang Xianke, the head coach of Dashun Golden Arrow, started his professional career in Baishan Tianchi...... Through this group photo of the 1993 National Games, we can roughly infer that Hu Lixin is 50 years old this year. And Wang Xianke is fifty-two years old this year, and the difference between the two is about two years, so it should be impossible for him to become teammates in the youth team...... Will they be teammates when they are in the first team of Baishan Tianchi? It's really reverie...... So the editor went to inquire about Hu Lixin's football in Baishan Tianchi, but unfortunately, it was ...... Nothing.
"Based on Hu Lixin's age, we can roughly infer that if Hu Lixin wants to play in the first team of Baishan Tianchi, it should be at least after 1994. So the editor went to check the Baishan Tianchi squad of the A-League in 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996, but there was no Hu Lixin's name. Wang Xianke, who we are all familiar with, was in the squad for the first time in 1995 when he entered the first team of Baishan Tianchi......
Later, the editor checked back until 1998, and I never saw Hu Lixin's name. The White Mountain Pond was disbanded in 2000...... In this way, Hu Lai's father should have left Baishan Tianchi in the process of going from the youth team to the first team, and it is possible that he went to other teams. But the query workload of this is too large, and the editor really doesn't have this ability...... But in short, Hu Lixin has now become a security guard in a community in Dongchuan City, Andong Province. If it weren't for the fact that his son had become a professional footballer and had a bright future, perhaps the owners of that neighborhood would never have known that the security guard who saluted them at the gate every day was once a professional footballer......
"Now in the FA Cup final, two people who used to be in the same club but don't know if they have become teammates have been reconnected in this way: Wang Xianke is the head coach of Dashun Golden Arrows, and Hu Lixin's son has become the top scorer of the Shining Stars team, and not long ago broke the single-season goal record of the Chinese League...... This is really a miracle of fate......"
"Husband, husband?"
Wang Xianke raised his eyes to look at his wife.
"Have you finished reading it? Is that Hu Lixin really on the same team as you? ”
Wang Xianke looked up at the ceiling, frowned and thought seriously: "I can't remember, almost thirty years ago, I forgot the names of many teammates, maybe there is him......"
"That's it, but it's interesting, I didn't expect you to have such a relationship...... It's a small world! The wife sighed as she took her phone back.
Wang Xianke got up from the sofa.
The wife asked, "Eh, where are you going?" ”
"Go and continue researching the information on the shining star." Wang Xianke said and walked to the study.
"Oh...... Don't get too tired and rest early. ”
"Well, don't worry, I'm sure I'll be in bed before twelve."
After Wang Xianke finished speaking, he closed the door of the study.
Then he leaned against the door.
Hu Lixin......
He silently recited the name in his mind.
I didn't expect that one day, I would hear from him again, and in this way.
Is that kid your son?
It's a small world......
