Chapter 5 (11) (I)

It's the last day of September, Saturday.

Since the early morning, the rain has been falling continuously, and everything in the world has been shrouded in a thin mist. When it rains, it is dense and sometimes sparse, and there has been no broken head. Large clouds were driven by the wind and swept north from the southern sky. The main building of the hotel, not far from the team dormitory, looks extremely clear because the dust in the air has been washed away by the rain. The lowest floors of the main building are now covered in a faint white rain mist, and the occasional car that stops in front of the main building has also become blurred in the fog.

This is a long-awaited rain, which can effectively alleviate the hot and hot weather that has been raging in the provincial capital for half a month. But for a few, it couldn't have come at a better time.

Everyone at the New Era Football Club is disgusted with this hard-won rain. Alas, this rain happened to take advantage of the hearts of those people in the south of Zhuhai, who were sleeping, and God brought them pillows. Bah! Zhuhai South is considered to be beautiful, and I don't know where they burned the incense, but they can actually play water polo away!

At breakfast, both the players and the club staff had gloomy expressions on their faces. There is an oppressive atmosphere in the small restaurant. In order to arouse the emotions of the players, the goalkeeper coach, who has never had an image, also deliberately told a very interesting yellow joke, but the people at the same table with him did not react, only a few young players at the table laughed a few times, which sounded like it was just to cheer the goalkeeper, not because of the joke he told.

Gao Jinsong, who was sitting by the door, also heard the joke, but he was expressionless, just eating breakfast silently. Zhang Chi next to him didn't even listen to the jokes, he was grabbing a half-eaten egg, and whispered to Chi Yuwen across the table.

“…… Do you think, can you say those things casually? Whether the players play or not depends on the attitude of the weekday training and the level of training. The level is not busy talking about it, just talk about your recent attitude, do you think your attitude is correct? ”

It seems that Zhang Chi is teaching Chi Yuwen a lesson, or that he is enlightening Chi Yuwen.

Chi Yuwen has been in a mood these days. He moved to New Era from Wuhan Yafeng this summer. After a few games of familiarity and running-in, he had already secured the position of the team's main right midfielder, but in a game last month, he ate a red card for a malicious foul, which not only led to the team's loss, but also was suspended by the Football Association for two additional games, making head coach Zheng Changsheng angry, and since then, Chi Yuwen has not played. Because of this, he said something in private that he shouldn't have said, and I don't know what happened, but the words reached the ears of Director Zheng, so he didn't even make it to the squad for the game.

“…… Even if you have grievances, you can talk to me, or talk to Brother Chen, the boss of Guan, right? Even if you don't think it's appropriate to talk to us about this, you can go to the coach and find the club, how can you spread those words in the club? ”

Zhang Chi said with a dry mouth, but Chi Yuwen had a wooden face, and he didn't raise his head and just put food into his mouth.

Gao Jinsong had already finished breakfast, and saw that the rain was falling tightly outside, and the wind and rain smashed the glass windows on three sides of the restaurant, so he had to sit in the restaurant for a while, and wait for the rain to pass before leaving.

He pushed aside the plate that barely left anything to eat, took a cigarette from his pocket, hesitated, and lit it anyway. He knew that the habit of smoking was not good, which would delay his physical recovery, which was also something that the team doctor repeatedly advised, but he still couldn't quit, especially when he had something on his mind, he always habitually clicked one by one, which was all a bad problem that he fell during his bed recuperation.

He burned his cigarette and silently thought about his thoughts, not noticing Zhang Chi's vigorous glance at him.

The first is that his lawsuit is about to come to an end, and there will be a clear one when the third court session next Monday, unfortunately, because they are unable to provide the most important human and physical evidence, the final judgment of the court is likely to be as expected by the legal counsel of Hualong Mall, he and the mall lost the lawsuit, and then compensated the plaintiff for various economic losses and mental losses. He doesn't care much about winning or losing the lawsuit now, and life has taught him an important lesson, allowing him to deeply understand the true meaning of "equality before the law"; He will not resent the judge because of the verdict, because in the course of the lawsuit, he already knows that the law is not about human feelings, but about evidence. What he is worried about now is the final amount of compensation, and how much he will have to pay. According to the experience of the lawyers, the amount of compensation will certainly not be as much as the thieves demanded, but it will not be too small, and 112.30 million will always have to be paid; Although the money is a lot of money, he, as the first defendant, will pay at least a quarter, perhaps a third, of the amount of damages......

That is to say, he will have to pay the thieves at least 100,000 yuan. The question is, where is he going to find so much money now?

It is impossible to lend money from friends and acquaintances, he still owes them money, not a penny has been repaid, and even if others are willing to lend it to him, he can't open his mouth.

It is even less realistic to borrow money from the club's finances. Let's not talk about whether he can borrow such a large amount of money in his capacity, even if he is qualified to let Sun Junshan approve the slip alone, he can't take out so much money financially, and the club has no money at all!

Before coming to the new era, he never dared to imagine that a professional football club with a B would have no money, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't believe it: the club still owes the players three months' wages, game bonuses, appearance fees, training subsidies and various allowances are also in arrears, like Guan Mingshan, these old players, each have several white slips opened by the club, more than tens of thousands, less than 350,000...... For example, today is the match day of the first b, according to the convention, the team should stay in the city yesterday, which is close to the game venue and the transportation conditions are convenient, but in order to save money, the team will not leave the Tonghui Hotel until noon. The team's long-term stay in Tonghui Hotel is also caused by lack of money, and only Tonghui Hotel is willing to let the team stay on credit to eat and drink, and one credit is six months......

As he spent more time at the club, he slowly learned the reason for the lack of money in the new era. The lack of money is not due to poor management - like most professional clubs, the team has no tradition of management at all, and mainly relies on blood transfusions from major shareholders; It is not because the team's performance is unsatisfactory that there is no money to talk about the results, in the case of lack of people and money, Zheng Changsheng can still tenaciously let the team hover outside the relegation zone, which shows the coaching ability of the old coach; It's because of the club's majority shareholder who has a problem. As for what happened to the major shareholder, it is not clear at the moment, but there are rumors in the club, and he doesn't know whether it is true or not.

Of course, from his point of view, even if the club is short of money, it does not treat him badly. Yes, as an inexplicable "administrative assistant to the head coach", he should receive a salary of 1,700 yuan a month and a messy subsidy of almost the same amount, but he only receives a salary every month, and the rest is tied to the club's finances, but this has made him very satisfied, which is almost three times his income when he was a security guard! In addition, he can also do recovery training under the guidance of coaches and team doctors, who will constantly adjust the direction and intensity of training according to the immediate condition of his body and the progress of recovery; Not only did they enthusiastically arrange the plan for him, but they didn't take him a penny, nor did they want any gifts, at most they ate him two cigarettes, so that he didn't know how to thank them. Alas, where did the club not treat him badly, this is simply treating him preferentially!

He thought that if he could get back on the pitch, if he could still play, he would do his best to give himself to the team without reservation! Only by doing so can they repay him for their favor!

It's a pity that he can't play football yet, so even if he wants to repay these kind people, he can't do it. He knew that for him, it was only a slim wish to be back on the pitch; Although his physical condition has been improving, the truth is that until now, the team doctor has not been sure if he will be able to return to the field......

How much he wants to help the team, especially when the team is only two points away from the relegation zone, and maybe after this afternoon's game, the team will be in the quagmire of relegation. It's hard to imagine that a team with internal and external difficulties can succeed in relegation, and it is even harder to imagine whether the new era club will continue to exist if it really suffers the doom of relegation......

Zhang Chi repeated the words of persuasion several times, but Chi Yuwen just ignored him, making his eyes look high and indifferent, so he had to take the opportunity of pulling the egg skin and poked Gao Jinsong with his elbow.

Gao Jinsong pulled his thoughts back to his eyes. He looked at Chi Yuwen, who had a wooden face and didn't say a word, and then looked at Zhang Chi, who had a helpless look on his face, and he didn't know what to say. It is impossible for him to enlighten Chi Yuwen. Chi Yuwen ate a red card and caused the team to lose three points, and afterwards neither apologized to his teammates nor admitted his mistake to the coach, and it was necessary and inevitable to be kicked out of the main lineup by Coach Zheng! It's not about their friendship! But he was going to do something now to divert the attention of the two men. If Zhang Chi doesn't step down, things may become even more troublesome.

He took out a stack of pieces of paper from his pocket, flipped through one and spread it on the table, and called Zhou Zhidong, a young team member next to him, to explain to the two of them what he had only discovered last night.

He watched the video of the game in Zhuhai South last night and accidentally noticed that their main central defender was very young, and then he also deliberately checked all the reports about Zhuhai South in the team's data room, and finally figured out that the central defender was only 22 years old. He also brought a copy of that report. He took out a copy from the stack of pieces of paper and handed it to Zhang Chi.

“…… Solid defense, strong air dominance, good handling of long passes, several games ......in a row" Zhang Chi read the words outlined in red on the copy in a whisper, blinked his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"There's no mention of whether he's decisive with the ball." Gao Jinsong said.

Zhang Chi blurted out a foul word. He felt that he was being teased by Gao Jinsong. Even Zhou Zhidong next to him looked at Gao Jinsong with an incomprehensible look. Everyone knows that defenders, especially central defenders, are the most basic quality in handling the ball decisively, can't Gao Jinsong play football, and even forget this? The reporter who writes the article is just too troublesome to write, and it is worth paying such attention?

"I've watched a few videos, the central defender is in good physical condition, his feet are very thin, and he has done two things to tease opponents in front ......of the penalty area, and his vision is also wide, I guess he didn't play as a central defender before."

Yo ho! And such a good thing?

Zhang Chi and Zhou Zhidong immediately came to their senses and looked at the two pieces of paper again and again. Zhang Chi was confident in Gao Jinsong's ability to capture the details of the game, and asked, "Are you sure he likes to show off his footwork?" ”

"It's not going to happen every game. However, in two of the five games the club found, he received a yellow card because he was indecisive in handling the ball, and finally had to foul the opponent to stop the ......"

Three times in five games, the same mistake was made, and that's enough. For an opportunistic striker like Zhang Chi, just give him a chance, maybe he will be able to make a name for himself!

There is also a piece of paper with a special tip for full-back Zhou Zhidong.

Zhuhai South's No. 16 player on the field is the right midfielder, he has a habitual action when the ball is blocked, always like to stop the ball in place and then move forward to make a false move, if he makes two consecutive saves from the right side of the ball, it means that he is likely to choose to break through to the edge of the penalty area next, if he pounces on the left and right sides of the ball once, then he is more likely to dribble the ball down......

"Wouldn't it? So exaggerated? Zhou Zhidong grabbed the piece of paper and scratched his head vigorously. The details of the game are captured at this point, how can others play? "That's ...... Doesn't that mean that he got to the muzzle of the gun himself? ”

Zhang Chi slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Think about good things, right?" Are you still grabbing your mouth? You know his habits don't necessarily keep up with the pace! He grinned happily and said, "But if you can spoil him two or three times in a row, I guess his game will be wasted, and there is nothing more annoying than seeing the hole cards, haha!" ”

It is estimated that Zhang Chi, who was thinking about the same good thing, failed to grasp the power in his hand, and Zhou Zhidong screamed. He rubbed the back of his head and stared at the piece of paper, as if he was about to break every word on the paper and eat it into his stomach, and asked, "Does this mean that everyone has their own habits?" When you break through, defend or shoot, do you have a habit of moving? ”
