Chapter 3 (8)

Yafeng Football Club is based in Wuchang District, close to Wuhan East Lake High-tech Development Zone, but it doesn't seem so reliable with high-tech, but more like an ordinary nameless town. The town is not big, from this side of the town you can see a few gray trees on the other side of the town, and beyond that there are empty fields, because it is winter, so there are no crops in the fields, and the bare land makes people immediately know what kind of season it is. There are only a few small buildings on both sides of the lonely street, and two of them seem to have been built recently, and the whitewashed walls are covered with half-human-height brightly colored tiles, which are both abrupt and eye-catching. In the fields near and far, you can still see some farmer's courtyards, and occasionally one or two people are walking on the land.

"It's coming soon." The club official who came to greet Gao Jinsong said apologetically. It could be seen that he was also tormented enough by this terrible journey. "There's no way, the land that was granted to the club is here, although it's a little farther away, but fortunately, the place given is also big." Gao Jinsong smiled and didn't talk. The club official continued, "As you know, the price of land has risen when the wind blows, and since the year before last, the price of this land has increased by more than 20% ......."

His chatter was interrupted by a violent jolt, and the driver cursed the large trucks pulling masonry, all of whom were desperately overloaded with money, to crush the road that had just been repaired this spring, and left many hidden dangers behind. He was just patronizing the way for a large whizzing truck, and he didn't notice that there was a large rock in the middle of the road. As if hearing his curse, another large truck with a raised guardrail rumbled from behind with a bucket full of sand and gravel, and the sand and dirt raised did not fall for half a day.

The driver immediately cursed the immoral colleague even louder.

"This road was built by the club?" Gao Jinsong asked with a smile. He was very curious about this, and at the same time, he was even more curious about what the local slang that came out of the driver's mouth was famous.

"It's not." Club officials shook their heads and denied it. However, because the base is here, the village still sends donations to the club, and it is the largest one. His Wuhan dialect Mandarin mixed with local dialect made Gao Jinsong hear the clouds, but he still understood a little. It turns out that this place is not a town, no wonder it looks so deserted.

"There are more people when there is a market on Double Day," the club official pointed to a large empty space outside the car window, "This is here, people around are coming, what kind of vegetables and meat to eat, it's hard to say whether the food is good or not, at least fresh." ”

Gao Jinsong smiled again and asked, "What should I do if I enter the city?" ”

The club official glanced at him, not knowing what he meant by asking, but after thinking for a while, he said, "The players themselves usually have cars. He weighed his words, "As long as it doesn't violate the rules of the club, doesn't violate the club's system, and doesn't mean normal training and games." He glanced at Gao Jinsong again, "The team has players moving in and out every year, and now there is a guy who wants to change his car, it is an Otto, and it has driven less than 30,000 kilometers, if you are interested, I will take you to see it when you go back." - The price is very cheap. He already knew that Gao Jinsong was the first player named by the new head coach of the club, and the contract with the club was only the last formalities, so it was at least a personal favor to recommend this acquaintance's car.

Gao Jinsong nodded noncommittally. He never had the idea of buying a car, nor did he have a driver's license, and even if he did, it would only be an ornament. He shifted his seat to make himself more comfortable, and casually digressed: "How far is it?" ”

The car suddenly came to an emergency brake, the huge inertia made his body rush forward involuntarily, he could feel the friction of the scalp and the roof cloth, his hands desperately scratched and pulled, hoping to grab something to help him, his head and the roof of the car slammed, and then he felt like his chest had hit a rock wrapped in sponge, and the air in his lungs was squeezed out of his chest almost instantly, and then he was slammed back into his seat...... He seemed to hear something in his ears, as if something was shattering.

- Car accident?!

It took him several seconds to come to his senses, and he checked his body in shock, thankfully, his arms and legs were there.

The situation of the club officials next to him was obviously not as rosy as he was, and two streaks of red blood crawled out of his nostrils, one had already overflowed his lips, and the other had been hindered by the cracked lips, so he had to make a detour and find a new way from the side. The guy obviously didn't know what had happened to him, his face was pale and trembling, and his hands were clutching the back of the driver's seat, his fingers almost digging into the leather of the seat.

The driver had already pulled the door and jumped out of the car, covering the back of his head, jumping up and swearing, and the unbearable foul language splashed out like water. In the distance, where the dust rolls up, a large truck is left with the shadow of a high, dangling canvas wrap.

Looking at the fist-sized hole in the windshield of the car in front of him and the spiderweb-like crack next to the hole, Gao Jinsong finally understood what was happening. When the big truck overtook it, it crushed a stone in the middle of the road and smashed a hole in the windshield of the car. He even saw the culprit in the front passenger seat - half an angular pebble. His heart twitched, and if it weren't for the backrest of the passenger seat, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Do you see the license plate number of that bastard?" The angry driver pulled open the door and asked.

Gao Jinsong shook his head. It came so suddenly that he didn't even think to look at the perpetrator's license plate, and by the time he remembered it, the truck had already gone away. The injured club official still didn't understand what was happening, and he shrunk back in his seat, muttering nonsense that no one could understand.

The driver's master cursed the damn car again in the most vicious language. He took off the hand that had been covering the back of his head, shook off the slimy blood vigorously, wiped it on the back of his head, spat vigorously, found a rag that had long been unable to see the original color and rubbed his hand, and pulled his mobile phone out of the leather bag on the bridge and shouted.

Soon several people rushed out of the gate in front of them, and a uniformed security guard ran a few steps and was called back, hurriedly raising the railing blocking the car at the gate, and a medium-sized passenger car suddenly jumped out and stopped directly next to the driver. The driver of the bus stuck his head out and asked in a panic, "Are you injured?!" Where's the injury?! ”

"I was hit by Lao Liao's teeth!"

"Where's Lao Liao?"

"He's better than me, and his face is covered in blood! I don't know where I hit it, and I still can't speak! It's all the damn heavy car, and the rocks smashed my glass......"

Lao Liao, the club official who was most seriously injured while speaking, had already been carried out by people and sent directly to the club's medium-sized bus.

"Did you write down the license plate?"

"That bastard's license plate is full of mud, and I can't see anything clearly!"

"Did you call the police?" The bus master didn't wait for the car driver to answer and scolded him to get into the car, "Come up together, don't worry about the car here, just let them protect the scene, I'll take you to the hospital first." He asked Gao Jinsong, who was carrying his luggage, "What about you?" Also on the team? Seeing Gao Jinsong nodding his head, he immediately asked, "Are you hurt?" Seeing Gao Jinsong shaking his head, he said, "You wait for the traffic police here, and I'll send them to the hospital first." Without waiting for Gao Jinsong to reply, he walked away.

This traffic accident was probably the most exciting thing in the town in recent times, and a large number of people soon gathered at the scene, and people excitedly exchanged the most authentic information, and talked about the bloody scene, and finally decided that the old comrade Liao, who was carried into the car, had at least broken several ribs, and there must have been a certain degree of concussion, otherwise, this would be sorry for his bloody strips crisscrossing his face. As for Gao Jinsong, who was being questioned by the police, everyone's opinion was surprisingly unanimous: this is a lucky guy.

The traffic police who are serious and responsible for the work have not finished making a record of the questioning to Gao Jinsong, and the hospital has already sent back the latest news about the wounded, the bloodied old Liao is actually not as serious as the driver, except for the loss of a front tooth and the prospect of another front tooth is not very good, that is, the nose was hit out of blood, and the driver master was bitten by Lao Liao, but there was really a slight concussion, however, it is not a big problem, go home and rest for two days and then eat and drink better.

Gao Jinsong, who was completely relieved, soon found the executive deputy general manager on duty at the base in the club's office building. The executive vice president already knew about Gao Jinsong's situation, and the things that Gao Jinsong had been thinking about were properly handled - just stamped the official seals of several clubs on the contract in front of Gao Jinsong, which proved the establishment of the employment and employment relationship between Gao Jinsong and Yafeng Club. In fact, the word "employment" does not accurately describe the relationship between Gao Jinsong and Yafeng Club, because when Gao Jinsong signed this contract, he seemed to have become a commodity, and Yafeng Club would have the right to transfer or lease him, or simply sell him at a clear price, but he is a person, how can people be transferred or sold like a commodity? It's a head-scratching complexity. However, this question is left to those in the football and legal circles to ponder and interpret, and perhaps one day they can find a correct answer, or a reasonable answer.

Gao Jinsong will not pay attention to these complicated issues. Now he had grabbed his simple bag and followed a club staff member to the dormitory. He also held several transparent plastic bags in his hands, which contained two sets of training equipment that he had just received, in addition to clothes and trousers and shorts, including shin guards, ankle pads and knee pads, as well as a pair of sneakers and a few pairs of socks that he had finally selected.

The staff arranged a room for him on the second floor of the dormitory, the condition is good, there is a TV, air conditioning, telephone or something, there is a bathtub in the bathroom, although Gao Jinsong can not stretch his body in it to enjoy a time, but he can bend his legs. There was also a small balcony by the window, and if he wanted and dared to, he could have howled a few times in the morning sunrise, or hummed a few serenades in the evening haze.

“…… If you press 'zero' on the phone, you can only call the inside line, and the piece of paper on the wall shows the internal number of each department and room in the club. The staff neatly explained to him all kinds of precautions. Hot water is available 24 hours a day, but now that the team is on holiday, there are not so many people in the base, so there is only hot water between 4 pm and 6 pm and 8 pm and 11 pm. Someone comes to clean every morning at ten o'clock, and if you don't want to," he said, pointing to a sign on the doorknob, "just turn it over and hang it on the door, and the person in charge of cleaning won't disturb you." If your clothes are dirty and you want to wash something, you can also call them......"

"Sneakers, they clean them up too?" Gao Jinsong asked. It's really nice to be here, the same as staying in a hotel.

The question made the staff shudder, which was the first time he had encountered it, but he quickly said, "Of course the sneakers are included." And glared at Gao Jinsong dissatisfied. This kind of trivial matter also needs to be asked a special time?

Gao Jinsong was more satisfied. This treatment is not enjoyed even in the New Era Club, Zheng Changsheng has been asking the players to polish their own shoes, if he notices any guy in the next day's training session dares to fool this thing around, once he is rescued, he will have to run at least ten laps to finish it - of course, this lap is run after the training is over, bad luck, and he has to polish a few pairs of other people's shoes in front of the old coach. The reason for Director Zheng's request is: "Protect your sneakers as you protect your heads!" Although Gao Jinsong has not figured out what kind of connection there is between the sneakers and the head until now, he still decided that it is more appropriate to clean up the sneakers himself, as for the reason, since he started playing football, the sneakers have always been wiped by himself, although he can't remember how many pairs of sneakers he has changed, but this habit has always been unchangeable.

"New here?" There was a knock on the door, interrupting his reverie, "High...... Gao ...... "The man had obviously heard of his coming, but he couldn't remember his name.

Standing by the door was an average-looking guy, twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a square face, a small scar on the left forehead, not too short, one meter seven, but certainly less than one meter seventy-five, looking quite sturdy, but Gao Jinsong was sure that he would easily knock him all over the ground on the court - if this guy was really willing to collide with him.

"Gao Jinsong." He reached out to the guy, and as he shook his hand, he felt a lot of strength from his opponent.

"Yao Yuan." The guy shook his hand, clenched his fist again, and let go. "Striker. What about you? Saying that, he had already stepped into the room, sat down on the sofa, and watched Gao Jinsong pack his luggage and stuff the miscellaneous things into the closet.

"Left Front-Back." Gao Jinsong hesitated and said. It was where he was when he first started playing, but then it got messed up and he still doesn't know where his position is. "Right midfielder or midfielder or whatever, that's fine." He said in a rambling voice. It seems that this Yao Yuan is the other one of the two places in the Yafeng Club.

Yao Yuan smiled. Gao Jinsong's statement made him think it was very interesting, in fact, most of the midfielders, especially the midfielders who go on the side, can go up and down, left and right, but the difference between good and bad is just the difference between good and not good, although this division is not delicate enough and not professional enough, but when the team's injury and attrition are too bad, the coach can only let the players make do with the play.

"I heard that you are the first person to be named by the new head coach You Gui?"

Gao Jinsong glanced at Yao Yuan, nodded and responded. He didn't expect this guy to be so well-informed.

"I didn't inquire, I just listened to the office secretary while walking around the club's office." Yao Yuan immediately explained the source of the news. He put the lid of a teacup on the coffee table up and down, and asked, "Did you take you before?" ”

Gao Jinsong shook his head and said, "He hasn't taken me, and I've only known him for a few days...... It's just that he played with the team he led a few times before, and he didn't teach him to beg for cheapness. ”

Yao Yuan frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "I remember, you are the twelfth of the second division team!" What is the second division club called? …… New era! I watched a few videos at the club two days ago, and it happened to be a match between you and the team you were leading. However, he immediately looked Gao Jinsong up and down several times in confusion, "No, you were the front waist at that time." …… It doesn't seem to be all the front waist, you are still with Wei, Wei - the guy who just got married yesterday, you also played with him in the double back waist, how can you ......" He wrinkled his brows and thought for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more uncertain he felt, and finally he asked, "What position do you play?" How do I remember playing in three or four games from centre-forward to centre-back? ”

"Except for the goalkeeper position, you can come twice." Gao Jinsong closed the door of the closet and turned around to make Yao Yuan a cup of tea, but he lifted the fluttering thermos and shook it twice, so he had to give up.

"All-rounder?!" Yao Yuan muttered an unpleasant word in surprise, his face was a little ugly, "Unlucky, there is one less substitute position...... he was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled, "Let's go, let's go out to eat in the evening, I will take you to taste Wuhan's specialty, Wuchang fish, and I will give you a pick-up." ”

Gao Jinsong accepted Yao Yuan's invitation. He's finally got to know a new teammate now, and it seems that this new teammate is a good guy to get along with.
