Chapter 4 (20)

The tingling sensation in his ankle was intense, as if someone was poking a cluster of needles in his muscles, and for a moment Gao Jinsong even suspected that there was some sharp iron thorn or a nail in the inconspicuous corner of the door frame. But he immediately rejected his baseless conjecture. He had to go in and out here many times a day, and it had never happened. It must be a muscle or ligament injury in the ankle. He immediately stopped, and immersed himself in scrutinizing his ankle. There was no trauma to the ankle, no redness or swelling, and the sudden stinging pain was completely gone, not only did the fingers feel no pain, but the joints could move freely. He also straightened his legs and feet, and made several flirtatious kicking movements, but he didn't feel any hindrance.

He immediately came to the conclusion that the stinging pain in his ankle must have been the result of several battles with his opponent in yesterday's match, and that this minor muscular and ligament injury would require little treatment, and that he could recover in a day or two as long as he took care of his rest.

What the hell. He muttered to himself, dismissing the idea of going to the team doctor. As a player who has been bumping and bumping on the field for many years, a little injury and illness on his body is really a normal and ordinary thing, if you have to trouble the team doctor for everything, then you have to exhaust the team doctor to death? Besides, since he entered the world of football, his enlightenment coach Shen Yuanshun told him that the attitude towards these small injuries and illnesses is a ruler to measure the will quality and spiritual outlook of athletes. He kept this phrase in mind and consciously followed it.

Coming out of the bathroom, he looked at the time. Breakfast time was already past, there were still about two hours before lunch, and there was nothing to do in the afternoon, but in the evening the whole team had to gather to watch the video of the game and listen to the coach analyze the opponent on Sunday, and maybe also set up tactics, which meant that he only had four or five hours to spare. What can he do with four or five hours of free time? Take a car for dozens of minutes into the city to watch a movie, and then run back to a meeting? He thought about it for a long time, but finally he couldn't make up his mind. Hey, it seems that the holiday is not necessarily a good thing.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

A few days ago, when he and his eldest sister said hello on the phone, he repeatedly invited his sister and brother-in-law to come to Wuhan to play for a few days, so that he could do his best as a younger brother, not to come to Wuhan directly from the provincial capital, but to fly to Chongqing first, and then take a boat from Chongqing to Wuhan, and visit the Three Gorges by the way; After my sister boarded the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan to eat Wuchang fish, she went down the river east to Shanghai, and then flew back to the provincial capital from Shanghai. In this way, my sister visited all the three largest cities in China, including Chongqing, Wuhan, and Shanghai, so as not to let my brother-in-law nag my eldest sister that she had never seen the world. And he also planned the affairs of the two nephews, so he let the two little ones go to live at his brother-in-law Chen Gang's parents' house for a while, and the big deal was to leave some more money for the two old men in the name of the living expenses of the two little guys.

The eldest sister didn't care much about his proposal, but the eldest brother-in-law Chen Gang snatched the phone and discussed with him for a long time about the itinerary and the practicality of whether the bus and ferry tickets were good or not.

There will definitely be no problem with the plane ticket from the provincial capital to Chongqing, there are several flights a week, and there is no need to worry about it when you arrive in Chongqing. As for arriving in Wuhan...... Hey, after arriving in Wuhan, it doesn't need to be said, what you want to eat and what you want to play, isn't it just a word from my sister and brother-in-law? No matter how bad he is Gao Jinsong in Wuhan Yafeng, he must not let the eldest sister and brother-in-law take advantage of the excitement and return home.

The eldest sister was still not very willing, but she couldn't directly refuse Gao Jinsong's kindness, and she couldn't spoil her husband's interest, so she euphemistically said that the two of them had to sum it up again to see if Chen Gang's unit could take a long vacation.

Seven or eight days have passed since he proposed this matter to today, but the eldest sister still hasn't called him.

He will leave Wuhan in two or three weeks, and even if the eldest sister can come to Wuhan at that time, it will be impossible for him to accompany him. No, he has to make a phone call and hurry up to implement this matter.

He called his eldest sister's dry cleaners directly.

The eldest sister went out to run errands, and it was her brother-in-law who answered the phone.

Chen Gang happily told him that his eldest sister had agreed to his suggestion, and the reason why he didn't call him was just because it was not easy to go out, and there were too many small things to be tangled up and down, and they had to sort out and dispose of them one by one - they originally wanted to tell him after things were straightened out, so as to give him an unexpected surprise.

Can this also be called a "surprise"? Gao Jinsong pouted. What he doesn't like about this eldest brother-in-law the most is that Chen Gang is too "sour", as if a few crepe words pop out of his mouth from time to time, and if he doesn't say a few "playful" words that make others "surprised", it doesn't show that he has read a book for a few days. He couldn't help but want to stab Chen Gang a few words, but when he thought that Chen Gang was the husband of the eldest sister, he could only swallow back the words that had reached his throat.

"Your unit is on your long vacation?" Gao Jinsong asked speechlessly.

"Yes, yes." Chen Gang said in a loud voice, "There have been a lot of things in the unit recently, and I was very busy, but I am familiar with several leaders in the unit, and as soon as I told them about the matter, they immediately granted me 30 days of leave, and they all asked me to help them buy some new things in Shanghai......

Gao Jinsong really didn't know what to say. What can a cultural center in a small county town be busy with? If he is really busy, can Chen Gang still sit in the dry cleaners and talk to people every day? Do you also ask him to bring fashionable things from Shanghai? Isn't this nonsense - there are things in Shanghai that can be bought in the regional capital, and maybe they are sold in the county town......

He had to ask the next thing: "When do you plan to leave?" You have set a date over there, and I have to say hello to my friends in the provincial capital and He Ying in advance, so that they can prepare in advance. He took out the phone book from his mobile phone bag and found Guan Mingshan's phone. Guan Mingshan is in the provincial capital, and the matter of booking a hotel and buying a plane ticket can be entrusted to him.

"I can't say the day." Chen Gang hesitated for a moment and said, "Anyway, in the next week, we will definitely leave." I have a good classmate in college who works in Chongqing, and I have already contacted him, and I will live with him when I arrive in Chongqing. ”

Gao Jinsong almost wanted to smash the phone to the ground. Does this Chen Gang know what he's doing?!

"I'll transfer the money to your credit card when I get back...... he knew that Chen Gang's brand-name leather wallet had a credit card in it, although the bulging wallet compartment used to contain neatly folded toilet paper, but the wallet and credit card were genuine. After a pause, he added, "Don't tell my sister, lest she say that I spend money lavishly." ”

On this day, Chen Gang immediately agreed. He also patted his chest and promised that he would never let his wife know about this, and he also said to Gao Jinsong very understandingly: "They women love to nag like this, and they can talk about something as big as a needle nose for a long ......time" But he immediately understood that it was obviously not appropriate for him to count his wife in front of Gao Jinsong like this, so he turned the conversation, "But your sister also cares about you like this......" He stopped in embarrassment. His wife did the right thing, so Gao Jinsong did it wrong; If Gao Jinsong did the right thing, then his wife did something wrong, standing in his current position, no matter who he criticized, he could only make trouble for himself.

"Then let's do it first, my morning training is not over yet, so it's not good to delay for too long." Gao Jinsong laughed, "When my sister comes back, you can discuss it with her again and tell me an accurate time as soon as possible." ”

He hurriedly hung up the phone. If he hadn't cut off the phone again, he might have laughed out loud on the phone - he could fully imagine Chen Gang's embarrassed appearance of stammering, and he felt very relieved and quick to make this showy guy look like a foreigner. I just don't know if there are any others next to Chen Gang, if Chen Gang's embarrassing appearance falls into the eyes of outsiders, and then it will be spread by a few enthusiastic audiences...... Hehe, just thinking about it makes me feel beautiful.

He hung up the phone to He Ying in Chongqing and Guan Mingshan in the provincial capital respectively, and asked them about the accommodation and ticket purchase of the eldest sister's family. Needless to say, He Ying naturally said that Gao Jinsong's eldest sister was his eldest sister, and his right big toe was inflamed, so he had to take a three-week truce, just enough time to accompany Gao Chun and Chen Gang. Guan Mingshan told Gao Jinsong very clearly that the new era of the provincial capital will be away from next week, and as the captain and main central defender, it is impossible for him to stay in the provincial capital and wait for Gao Jinsong's eldest sister and brother-in-law, but he will definitely entrust this matter to a proper person to ensure that he will not mistake Gao Jinsong's affairs. In the end, he also inquired about Gao Jinsong's transfer, and made several inappropriate ideas for Gao Jinsong. He said: "Actually, I still approve of you going back to the provincial capital, you can earn a lot of money, our brothers can still get together every now and then to eat, drink, talk, go back to the team to eat, I don't know which guy mentioned the things in the second division last year, Chen Mingcan talked about you, and sighed about what happened to our team while praising you for your goodness, so that I also accompanied him to tears......"

Guan Mingshan's words of a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west made Gao Jinsong's mind full of confusion. It's reasonable to sigh about the team's suffering, but why does Chen Mingcan think of praising himself with a smile? Praise it, why are you two crying?

Gao Jinsong thought for a long time and didn't know what to say, so he had to divert the topic and ask, "How is the situation on the team now?" When he and Guan Mingshan Zhang Chi talked on the phone, they always rarely talked about the official name of the New Era Club, and now Zhang Chi, who is fighting to the death in Shanghai, even opened his mouth "How was the team at the beginning", shut up "How is the team now", every time the two talked about their respective experiences and situations on the phone, Zhang Chi kept sighing, kept complaining and regretting - he didn't even sit on the bench in the new team, let alone other things; He has made two appearances for his new club this year, playing less than 10 minutes combined, with three shots on goal and zero goals, with the only thing worth remembering is that he received a red card in his first game......

"What else? That's it. Guan Mingshan said.

The journey of the new era of League B has been extremely bumpy, since the first round of games, they have been fighting for relegation, and they have never been able to exceed the bottom four in the league, and they are unanimously recognized by everyone as relegation favorites.

"You're not going to recruit people in the summer?"

"I heard that I want to exchange two foreign aids." Guan Mingshan said in a flat tone, "But all domestic players with a certain level don't want to or dare to come, and no one wants to be tied up with a relegation favorite team, but a better foreign aid - hey, don't talk about the money, in the twenty days when the summer transfer market is open, where can you find two suitable new foreign players so smoothly?" I think Mr. Sun is also in a hurry to go to the doctor...... This year's head coach is also a common thing, no matter home or away, whether the opponent is Henan Yaxing or Qingdao Shuangxi, his tactics are just two words: offense! …… Attack, attack, the back line has been beaten into a sieve, and he is still shouting to attack! Attack his mother's egg, attack! He scolded angrily, gasped for several times before sneering and saying, "I had a fight with this guy on the training ground just now, it wasn't Chen Mingcan who dragged me, I had to look good!" He scolded a few more foul words, and said, "This girl will please Mr. Sun, and he will say whatever Mr. Sun likes to hear." - It's not for the sake of Mr. Sun's righteousness, and he really has nothing to say to his brothers, Lao Tzu has already picked up this bastard! ”

Gao Jinsong was dumbfounded when he heard it, and only after a long time did he say: "You haven't talked to me about these ...... before" He remembered the last few times the two chatted on the phone, Guan Mingshan was still saying good things for the head coach, and reprimanded the comments published in the newspaper for all nonsense.

Guan Mingshan sneered self-deprecatingly on the phone and said, "This is not a good thing with a long face, how can I tell you casually?" Besides, this person was invited by Mr. Sun...... Alas - don't talk about it, I'll go talk to Mr. Sun, it's not a matter to go on like this. ”

Gao Jinsong grabbed the phone for a long time and couldn't get back to his senses.

What the hell is going on, why is it that the players and the coach are not in harmony? This is the case with Wuhan Yafeng, the same is true for the new era of the provincial capital, and perhaps there are other clubs as well. Isn't football a game like it used to be? Is there really an unbridgeable gap between coaches and players? How is this possible? Yes, because of the differences in tactical understanding, because of the perspective of observation of the course of the game and the way of reading and thinking, there are often things where the players cannot correctly implement the manager's tactical intentions - this situation has happened to him many times - but these can generally be resolved quickly in a small range, even if there is prejudice and estrangement between the coach and the players, both sides will restrain themselves as much as possible during training and games, and deliberately avoid those irreconcilable contradictions. Rather than sharply opposing this contradiction. The only way to resolve the contradiction is for everyone to sit down and discuss openly and honestly, or adopt other ways to avoid this contradiction, such as he chooses to transfer, or You Shen chooses to choose to let him transfer, just to avoid this contradiction, which is beneficial to all three parties involved. But the current situation is very different from the environment he is familiar with, Guan Mingshan and Wei Honglin would rather take tough measures to intensify this contradiction, rather than resolve or avoid this contradiction, which is really incomprehensible and unacceptable to him.

Of course, he also knew that there was still a difference between Wei Honglin and Guan Mingshan, but he didn't want to delve into what the difference was, in fact, he was also avoiding it - he refused to give the two good friends a judgment. More bluntly, he refused to judge Wei Honglin's actions.

Wei Honglin is his friend......

But he still felt very suffocated, as if something was pressing on his chest, making his breathing less smooth.

He stood up, ready to leave the room and go out on the balcony for some fresh air, or simply let out a few shouts of resentment that had gathered in his chest.

The moment he stood up, his left knee went limp, and he staggered to his knees on the floor unprepared.
