Chapter 2 (15)

Coming out of Sun Junshan's dormitory and office, Zheng Changsheng wanted to talk to Gao Jinsong immediately, so that the young player could dispel his worries and grievances against the coaching staff, and accumulate strength to wait for the opportunity. He will tell him in a serious voice that the coaching staff arranged for him to sit on the bench actually has a deep meaning - in Gong, the veteran players are more experienced and spicy, the mentality is more stable in the face of key games, and the technical and tactical level can also be played more stable, as long as the team can smoothly enter the threshold of A B, he is still afraid that he will not be able to play in the future? In private, if a young player like him suddenly rises to the main position, even if he is capable, the old players may not be able to look at him well, and he wants to replace Wei Honglin's position, Wei Honglin has a very good relationship with him, what is the matter in the eyes of others? Therefore, the coaching staff did not let him be the main force, in fact, there was also the meaning of loving him and protecting him.

After typing all the way, Zheng Changsheng walked to the front of the team's dormitory, but when he stepped on the steps with one foot, he stopped again. He only now realized that he was in a hurry and turned things upside down, how could the head coach of his team come to talk to a young player who was not even the main player on the morning of the first day of the holiday? And the important content of this conversation is the current use of this young player by the coaching staff and the future arrangements...... If this matter spreads, how will he lead the team in the future?

Zheng Changsheng wrinkled his brows and looked at the empty corridor several times, and then walked back with his head down.

But it seems that there is no delay. Even Sun Junshan, who usually never interfered in the specific training and game matters of the team, asked about Gao Jinsong's situation, which could not but arouse Zheng Changsheng's attention. And he was also afraid that Gao Jinsong would make some emotions at this critical time, after all, what he persuaded Sun Junshan to say also convinced him himself - because of Gao Jinsong, he had more tactical options before and during the game, which undoubtedly added more trouble to the opponent; In the upcoming games, maybe this one advantage will take the team even further. There is also a fact that he is unwilling to admit and can't deny is also reminding him to have an ideological communication and exchange with Gao Jinsong as soon as possible - Gao Jinsong is the kind of player who can make a decisive decision at a critical moment, which can be seen from his two group stage goals......

Zheng Changsheng anxiously looked forward to lunch time. At that time, he could quietly meet Gao Jinsong, who rarely went out, in the club's special small restaurant, and he could use other excuses to complete this important conversation logically.

Zheng Changsheng counted the time on his stopwatch as if he were supervising his team members in sprint training, and when the hour hand on his watch pointed to 12:10, he hurried to the restaurant. Lunch time is twelve o'clock, and he will spend three or five minutes on the road, and Gao Jinsong must have arrived at this time, and then he can naturally say hello to him, and by the way, talk about the little guy's goal yesterday afternoon, and then gradually lead the conversation to the main topic. Of course, if there are many team members dining in the restaurant, he can also change places to talk, for example, the hotel tea room is a good place to talk.

But Gao Jinsong was not in the restaurant. In the not small restaurant, there are only a few club staff and two or three hotel waiters who gather together to eat and laugh, and then there is Zhang Chi, who rarely stays in the club during the holidays.

Zheng Changsheng nodded to Zhang Chi, who stood up to greet him, and didn't rush to get a plate to serve the food, so he sat across the table opposite Zhang Chi, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and then asked very casually: "Why didn't you go out today?" ”

This question is not easy to answer. Zhang Chi had no choice but to smile embarrassedly at the head coach.

"Did you get notice? The team will go to Chengdu tomorrow. ”

"The club just informed me on the phone." Zhang Chi said. He was woken up by this phone call, otherwise he wouldn't have come here for lunch. After saying this, he didn't know what to say, and he couldn't decide whether to continue to eat his own food, or wait for Zheng Changsheng to continue his lecture. The cafeteria was so big, there were several empty tables, and the old coach, who didn't deal with the players much after training and games, sat in front of him coldly, which made him feel uneasy. He drooped his head, scratched the stainless steel rice spoon in his hand across the food pile, desperately remembering if he had violated any of the club's discipline in the past few days.

"Your name has been reported - 'Top scorer in the second division'." Zheng Changsheng said.

Zhang Chi's hanging heart immediately fell into his stomach. He already knew about this, and he was caught by his teammates and poured a lot of alcohol for this.

He humbly said: "My goals are blind. He immediately felt that this was not the right thing to say, so he changed his tune and said, "I was able to score goals thanks to the support of my team-mates. Besides, it doesn't matter if I'm the top scorer or not, compared to the team's promotion......"

"In the second division, you still have a lot of skills, especially your nose in front of goal. Yesterday's second goal was a great example of what you are good at, you don't stand there after a shot like other players and wait to see if it goes in. ”

Zhang Chi scratched his head embarrassedly. The angle of his shot was very tricky, the power was also very strong, and he didn't make any unnecessary adjustments, almost picked up his feet and hit, and the whole action was done in one go. To be honest, he's happy with the goal he scored yesterday. But in front of the head coach, he still said reservedly: "Gao Jinsong's goal stunned them, they were only interested in attacking and wanted to equalize, there was no one to defend next to me, and if I couldn't kick in, I wouldn't have the face to see anyone." ”

Zheng Changsheng smiled with satisfaction. After going around for a long time, he finally got involved in the things he cared about. "yes, it was a goal that they didn't expect," he said. He looked up and around in surprise, and then asked, "Why didn't you see Xiao Gao?" Didn't he report here on time every day? ”

Zhang Chi, who was about to flatter Zheng Changsheng for a few words, hurriedly swallowed back the good words that came to his lips: "He seems to have gone out early in the morning." After thinking about it, he added, "Don't worry, he will definitely come back in the evening, and he never spends the night outside." His face was a rare redder, perhaps because he thought of his own indiscretions.

Zheng Changsheng couldn't hold back his disappointment, and his face became gloomy.

He also lost the interest in continuing to chat with Zhang Chi, and casually told him a few words, then stood up and went to get the plate.

While absentmindedly scooping food on the plate, he wondered where Gao Jinsong could go on this hot day.

***************

At this time, Gao Jinsong and He Ying went to visit their enlightenment coach Shen Yuanshun.

It is said to be a visit, but in fact, it is to sit with the elderly, and it is difficult for them to even say a few complete words to the elderly. The old man, who had serious sequelae of a stroke, sat in a wicker chair that had been around for a long time, rubbing one hand against the crutches that had been shiny and smooth with the handle of the cane leaning beside him, and the other hand hanging on the armrest of the rattan chair. His eyes had long since lost their former brilliance, and now he even made movements like turning his gaze very slowly, just looking back and forth at his two proud disciples in a sluggish manner, and occasionally a satisfied smile would appear on the corner of his mouth, although it was difficult for him to hear what the two disciples were talking about.

Gao Jinsong and He Ying are talking to each other about the interesting things that have happened in their respective teams in the past few months.

Seeing Shen's wife come out from the kitchen with two steaming plates, the two hurriedly stood up to help. He Ying cleaned up the table and arranged the dishes, and Gao Jinsong went to the kitchen to serve the dishes and get the bowls.

Seeing that the dishes were almost served, Gao Jinsong took out a stack of dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen very familiarly, first handed the chopsticks to He Ying, and then carefully selected the softest rice in the rice bowl with a plastic spoon and put a bowl, and then handed the half bowl of rice to He Ying, who had been waiting beside him. He Ying held this bowl of rice in both hands and put it in front of an old man at the table, and asked loudly, "Director Shen, do you think this rice is enough?" ”

The old man Shen Yuanshun raised his head tremblingly and glanced at He Ying in confusion.

He Ying almost approached the old man's ear and asked again, "Do you think this meal is enough?" ”

"Enough, enough." The old man muttered indistinctly, and stretched out his right hand to fumble with the chopsticks on the table.

His wife happened to come over with a pot of soup at this time, and while asking He Ying to move the bowls and plates on the table first, he said, "There is more, this rice is more!" You're still running around with you little guys. She took the bowl, pressed the rice with chopsticks, tried the softness of the rice, and then put a small half into the bowl next to her, and then stuffed the bowl into her wife's hand. He can't eat much now, he can't eat much, and he has stomach problems, and if he doesn't pay attention, he will get sick. My ears are no longer working, my teeth are starting to fall out, let alone talking. He's old, and it's time for the parts to be replaced......" she said with a smile. sat next to his wife, picked up what he could chew and put him in the rice bowl, and beckoned Gao Jinsong and He Ying, "You guys can also sit down and eat." She suddenly got up again and went to the kitchen, and when she came back she had half a bottle of wine and two small glasses in her hand. This is the last time you brought him for his birthday, and I secretly hid it and didn't dare to show it to him. It's terrible to see it, and if you don't give him a drink, he will be angry and won't eat. She put the wine glass and bottle on the table, took down a grain of rice stuck to her wife's mouth and sipped it on the table, and said, "This old thing, the more you live, the more you go back." - Drink and ignore him. ”

Gao Jinsong and He Ying laughed together, and then filled their wine glasses. They are here as casually as they are in their own homes.

The old man was the enlightenment coach of the two of them, and it was also the old man who recommended the two of them from the regional sports school to the provincial youth football team, and later took them for a few months. I remember that when the old man was just transferred from the regional sports school to the provincial football team, Gao Jinsong and He Ying were inexplicably happy for several days. Unfortunately, the old man had to say goodbye to his beloved football career and beloved job soon after due to a stroke; Because of this, the unit specially transferred his wife from the regional hospital to work in the medical department of the Provincial Sports Commission, which was probably the only benefit he got from his misfortune, and he could be taken care of by her again, just like the years they had gone through together.

There are only a few kinds of dishes. Four plates are sweet and sour cabbage, stir-fried pork slices, a large plate of tomato eggs and a braised fish, two bowls are freshly fried peanuts and kimchi with a special sesame oil flavor, and a pot of soup with a few oil flowers on the noodles stacked with radish slices.

The meal seemed a little too simple to be shabby. But Gao Jinsong and He Ying don't care, in their memory, such a meal is completely a reward - when the two of them were young, if they had any outstanding performance in training, competition or study, the old man would take them back to his home and let his wife cook a meal similar to the one in front of them as a reward for them, it is conceivable that under the care and gaze of the adults, they gathered around the table while listening to the praise of the adults while eating a meal that tasted completely different from the school cafeteria, For two children who have not been able to get the warmth of their families for a long time, what a happy time to remember and cherish.

While eating, the old man slowly looked at the two disciples, and suddenly muttered something, and then his wife asked on his behalf, "He asked you, how are you doing now?" ”

"We were eliminated, they reached the final, and we have to go to Chengdu to play in the next few days." He Ying, who was sitting next to the old man, said loudly.

I don't know if the old man heard it clearly, anyway, everyone can tell what he said.

"Okay, okay."

This humorous answer made everyone laugh, even He Ying was happy. He approached the old man and asked loudly, "Did you hear clearly?" We were eliminated! It's no longer a drama this year, let's see next year! ”

The old man said without hesitation, "Good, good. ”

The old man's wife asked strangely, "It's only been a month, and the game is over?" In her impression, the professional leagues that have only started in the past two years usually end in a chorus of admiration and regret at the end of October - she is just a doctor, although her lover is a football coach, but she has never cared about any sports competitions, even a little knowledge of professional football leagues is from other people's words and news programs on TV. The "A-League" that just started last year is about to become a popular and fashionable thing, and it is impossible for her not to remember it.

"We are participating in the second division, the competition system, and we are divided into small groups......" He Ying had to explain again.

"Oh." She remembered that He Ying and Gao Jinsong also explained to her last time when the old man celebrated his birthday, the league is divided into three levels: A, B and B, and they participate in the lowest level of professional leagues.

"Xiao Gao, have you made it to the finals?" She asked Gao Jinsong again.

"It's not the finals yet, it's just the finals." Gao Jinsong said. He saw that she still had questions about this, and hurriedly explained, "I have to play three more games to know if I have a chance to participate in the final." ”

"Oh." She took a slice of fish and put it in her bowl, carefully picked out the small thorns in the fish before putting it into her wife's bowl, and told him loudly, "Eat, there are no thorns!" ”

The old man happily slowly dealt with the fish and rice in his bowl.

"The men's volleyball team in the province may also be disbanded at the end of the year," she added. - If they don't go back to Division B this year. ”

This abrupt news made Gao Jinsong and He Ying stop their chopsticks together.

"Why?" Gao Jinsong asked strangely.

"It's not about the money!" He Ying said indignantly.

Gao Jinsong couldn't say anything. What Ho Ying said was the truth. The disbandment of the football team was due to a lack of funds, and the provincial sports authorities had to save this part of the funds to ensure that those projects that could produce results in the National Games and the Olympic Games, which were not only related to the face of the province, but also related to the political achievements of some people and the black hats on their heads.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became a little awkward.

Director Shen's wife also realized how bad the things she casually mentioned were, and the two young people in front of her were victims of the provincial sports authority's "abandonment of pawns and protection of the handsome" development strategy......

She hurriedly diverted the topic and asked He Yingdao, "What about the little girl you brought last time?" Why didn't I come with you this time? She's pretty and a good match for you......"

Gao Jinsong also said: "Yes, didn't you say that your parents like her a lot? - It's the weekend, why didn't you bring her this time? ”

He Ying said with a sad face in half-truths: "Her family does not agree ......"

After eating, the two of them sat down for a while, and after some gossip, they took their leave.

Walking out of the dormitory of the sports committee, which was separated from the entire residential area by a high fence, and standing on the side of the street, He Ying was silent for a while and said, "Do you have time?" Find a place to sit again, and I'll talk to you about something. ”

Gao Jinsong nodded in agreement. From the time the two met, he noticed that He Ying had something in his heart, and he didn't speak as refreshingly as usual, but he didn't want to ask at Director Shen's house.

They found a teahouse at the end of the street.

The two sat down by the large glass window facing the street. Gao Jinsong didn't look at the list handed over by the waiter, nor did he pay attention to the fresh food and drinks enthusiastically recommended by the waiter, but just ordered a few melon seeds and dried fruits very casually, and asked for two cups of ordinary tea, and sent her away.

That's when he asked, "What do you want to say to me?" ”

He Ying didn't squeak, only took out a cigarette case and handed one to Gao Jinsong. Gao Jinsong took the cigarette and didn't light it, just pinched it in his hand and played it upside down, patiently waiting for He Ying to speak.

He Ying lit the cigarette by himself, overlapped the cigarette case and the lighter on the coffee table, smoked several puffs of cigarette with his head down, and then said: "Mingyuan will probably not be in the provincial capital next year, they are going to the southern coast, it is likely to be Zhuhai ......"

Gao Jinsong didn't say anything, just listened quietly. He noticed that He Ying did not use the title "our team" when mentioning the team, but directly stated its name "Mingyuan", and did not even add the name of the place in front of it, which seemed to mean a lot of things.

He Ying said again: "I don't want to go to Zhuhai. ”

Gao Jinsong asked suspiciously: "Your contract with them hasn't expired yet?" As far as he knows, He Ying's contract with the provincial city of Mingyuan is similar to his original contract with the New Era Club, which is based on the time when the team stops in the second division league as the deadline of the contract, since the provincial city of Mingyuan's league this year has ended, then He Ying actually has nothing to do with the club, why did he suddenly mention that he didn't want to go to Zhuhai?

He quickly understood: "You signed a contract with Mingyuan again?" He immediately rejoiced, "That's a good thing!" Isn't it all about playing football everywhere, why are you still unhappy with a sad face? ”

He Ying shook his head and said, "I haven't signed a contract yet......"

This answer made the smile on Gao Jinsong's face freeze. It took him a long time before he said, "If you don't sign it, you won't sign it." …… It's still early, so you can get in touch with other clubs slowly. He comforted his friend, "You have scored two goals for Mingyuan, there are many people who know about it, you run more with the video tape of your goal, there will definitely be clubs that can watch you." He paused, remembered something, and then said, "You have to run more clubs, don't run for money!" If I don't have the money, I'll have it here. "After remitting a large amount of money to the eldest sister to buy a store in the morning, he still has 20,000 or 30,000 yuan left in hand, which is completely lent to He Ying's envoy first - finding a good contract is the top priority. As for the fact that he doesn't take a few spare money on himself, Gao Jinsong doesn't pay attention to it at all, anyway, the food and accommodation are all club rounds, and he can't spend a few.

He Ying shook his head again: "I still have money, and I have also accumulated some in the past two or three months." He knew that Gao Jinsong was richer than himself, and before the start of the group stage, he had heard several cases of players "forcing the palace" club because of salary bonuses like the New Era Club, but the provincial city of Mingyuan did not make a mistake in this matter - the main players in Mingyuan's team took a lot more money than the main players of other clubs, and they didn't have the heart to make a fuss at all, so players like He Ying could only do things according to the contract peacefully, which also made their income far lower than that of marginal players like them in other clubs.

After a pause, He Ying continued: "It's not about money. At the moment, in addition to Mingyuan's contract, I also have contracts from two second division clubs," he said, laying the problems that had plagued him for days on the table. "There is also a contract for Chongqing Green Maple......"

Gao Jinsong asked in surprise: "Is it Chongqing Green Maple in A B?" ”

After receiving He Ying's affirmative answer, he was even more surprised: "How could they give you a contract?" In a hurry, he didn't bother to ask He Ying what was going on, worried. He couldn't understand how a first-class club could give a contract to a second-division team before the season was over. This is obviously unreasonable.

He Ying smiled bitterly and explained to her friend: "This contract can't be taken seriously. My agent brought it for me, just to raise my value and make the second division clubs who looked down on me pay a little more. Of course, if you can't do it, you can also go to Chongqing Green Maple, but the important contents of this contract have to be renegotiated. ”

"Do you have an agent?" This surprised Gao Jinsong even more. Of course, he knew what kind of profession brokering was, but when it actually appeared around him and his friends, he was stunned and felt strange.

He Ying nodded: "It's the person who matched me with the first second-division club to find me." "It was a well-dressed northerner, and I don't know where he got his pager number, and he found himself the day after the team's loss to Qingdao Double Happiness, not only bringing himself a contract for next year, but also clearly telling himself that he hoped to be his agent. At that time, he was as shocked as Gao Jinsong now, and in a daze, he agreed to the shrewd guy and signed a contract with him first. Then the shrewd man named Zhang Honglin carefully drew a set of plans for him about where to go next year, and also brought himself a contract for Club A and B that could be cashed out at any time......

Gao Jinsong finally calmed himself down, and then asked sharply: "What good can he do by doing this?" ”

"Ten percent of my income goes to him. If there is a transfer fee, signing fee, advertising fee or something in the future, he will share 15% of this part of the income. If my monthly salary in next year's contract exceeds 12,000, he will receive 15 percent of the excess......"

Gao Jinsong thought about it, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing, at least many things dealing with the club can be solved by the agent, such as salary and bonuses and other treatment issues, anyway, if you don't come forward to talk to the club, you can let the agent say something for yourself, and you just need to play football with peace of mind.

He told He Ying what he thought.

"I know what you're talking about." He Ying sighed and said, "I'm not sorry for this. What I'm worried about is that I don't know whether to stay in Mingyuanli, or go to another second-class club, or simply ignore it and just wait for the end of the league to sign a contract with Chongqing Lufeng. ”

"Does that make a difference? Isn't it all about playing football everywhere? Gao Jinsong asked puzzled.

"Of course it's different." Seeing that Gao Jinsong hadn't understood his current difficulties, He Ying was a little angry. "In Mingyuan, I can only continue to sit on the cold bench and watch others play!" This is what annoys him the most. After the team lost to Qingdao Double Happiness, the club began to plan for next year's league, and the general manager, team leader and coach came forward together to talk to the players, and this conversation actually means next year's contract and the weight of the players in the eyes of the club. He told Gao Jinsong with a wry smile: "I was one of the last people to be called to talk...... I scored two goals for them! I played less than 60 minutes in the entire group stage, and I scored two goals, and I was the last group to call to talk......" He angrily threw a handful of melon seeds in his hand onto the coffee table, and the finely chopped melon seeds were scattered everywhere, and even the two waiters standing against the wall in the distance were alarmed, and hurriedly came over to see what was going on.

Gao Jinsong asked the waiter to remove the two cups of tea that could no longer be drunk, and re-brewed two cups and served them, and then said to He Ying helplessly: "Do you still know the situation in your team?" Who doesn't have arms thicker than your thighs? ”

He Ying took out another cigarette and lit it, puffed a cigarette in her nose and mouth, and said, "So I don't want to stay in Mingyuan next year, not to mention that they have to go to Zhuhai!" You don't know, my sister talked to a friend at school, and before the end of the summer vacation, the man flew here from Zhuhai to see her, and my parents also approved of their relationshipβ€”it seems that most of them are going to talk. Her boyfriend's house is from Zhuhai. ”

This is also a reason not to sign a contract with Mingyuan? Gao Jinsong didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Is it possible to play in the main team at the other two clubs?" ”

"I talked to Kunming Rainbow on the phone twice, and it sounded like they still attached great importance to me, and I guess that if I work hard, I may be able to play the main force. The other club is more difficult – you know the situation in Beijing Xingren, they have no shortage of strikers at the moment. ”

"Your agent, that Zhang Honglin, what did he say?"

"He didn't say anything, just told me that the salary for a month was not 15,000, and no club would say anything. He also said that next year's second division league will definitely be more lively than this year, and when all the second division clubs come out of the shadow of failure, they will definitely turn their grief into strength, and they will throw money into it even harder. He Ying said with a smile.

"Will Kunming Rainbow give you a salary of 15,000?" Gao Jinsong asked with a smile.

"Zhang Honglin quoted a price for me, asking for 20,000 yuan." He Yingle said hehehe, "I estimate that 20,000 is unlikely, but 15,000 is probably no problem." ”

Gao Jinsong frowned: "Then that's what you asked me to talk about?" "Is that a thing?!

"You can help me get an idea, whether I should go to Kunming or not......"

"Whatever you want. Anyway, we play football everywhere, and of course it's better to be able to play in the main team - it doesn't matter if the salary is less compared to the prize money of the game. ”

*********

The next afternoon, while waiting for a red light at an intersection on the Ring Road, Gao Jinsong saw his former colleague Jiang Lihong, who he hadn't seen for a long time, through the glass window of the bus, and her friend Jiang Yan was with her. The two of them sat together in an empty bus.

Jiang Lihong saw him when the car started again, and at that moment, her face was swollen red like a ripe apple......

Gao Jinsong smiled and beckoned to her, and before she could react, the bus turned around at the intersection and drove onto the highway to the airport.
