Chapter 4 (18)
Li Xiaolin's sudden proposal made Gao Jinsong stunned, and he didn't know how to answer in a hurry.
Li Xiaolin was not joking with Gao Jinsong. On the way back to the base from the stadium after they played the game, the head coach of Shaanxi Tianhe and the head manager of Tianhe Club in charge of personnel talked to him on the phone, in addition to their concern for him, they also specially asked Gao Jinsong about the situation, and asked him to confirm whether what Yan Liangcheng said at the press conference was true. Li Xiaolin immediately learned about the situation before and after Yan Liangcheng publicly stated that Gao Jinsong could be transferred through a few of his reporter friends, and also found an official in the Yafeng Club who had a good relationship with him to inquire about it, and then he told the Shaanxi Tianhe Club with confidence on the bus that Gao Jinsong would leave Wuhan soon, but the destination was difficult to say - no one from the provincial city of Mingyuan came to Wuhan to contact Yafeng recently, and Yao Yuan, a very good friend of Gao Jinsong, suddenly appeared in Shenzhen. and mixed with the people of Shenzhen Blue Sky......
Hearing the news, the head coach and the boss of Shaanxi Tianhe almost spoke in a tone on the phone, and they asked Li Xiaolin to do something immediately - no matter what, they must find Gao Jinsong as soon as possible to ask him in person whether he is interested in going to Xi'an to join Shaanxi Tianhe. The anxious Tianhe boss even told Li Xiaolin on the phone that if Gao Jinsong is willing to put his next foothold in Xi'an, then he can immediately occupy a position as a main striker in the team, and there is an income that is not inferior to his in Wuhan Yafeng, and the Tianhe Club can even move Gao Jinsong's household registration and personnel relations to Xi'an, and like Li Xiaolin, he can enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment in housing and labor insurance benefits according to his actual working age.
"That's how it happened."
Li Xiaolin finally said, "I also know that it is not appropriate to suddenly tell you this matter at this time, but I am a person from Tianhe when I speak, and I have to do something for others." Suitable or not, can you give me a word now, Tianhe...... Maybe they're still waiting for my call. After saying that, he also relaxed, lit a cigarette, and waited for Gao Jinsong to reply. It's not easy, when he just received the new owner's request, he didn't know what to do at all. He and Gao Jinsong have been in the same club for more than half a year, but they don't have much contact on weekdays, and they can't even talk about general friendships. In fact, he didn't even have a practical idea of how to open his mouth to Gao Jin. If Gao Jinsong hadn't happened to ride back to the base in the same car with him, and if they hadn't both forgotten to have dinner, he really didn't know how to deal with the first important matter explained by the new owner.
Now it's Gao Jinsong's turn to make trouble.
In this year's league and cup competitions, Wuhan Yafeng and Shaanxi Tianhe have not yet met, and the first encounter between the two teams will be in the final round of the first half of the league - round 17. But that's not to say that Gao doesn't know the team. In his spare time, he has watched all the game videos accumulated by the club, some of the game videos have been seen more than once, in his impression, known as the "Northwest Wolf" Shaanxi Tianhe is really like a wolf, fierce defense, tenacious style, strict discipline, traditionally this team emphasizes steady and steady, good at tug-of-war, do not pursue the scene and pay attention to the final result, these are very to his appetite, especially this team does not deliberately pursue speed and does not pay attention to any quick counterattack, which is more in line with his temperament and characteristics. And the conditions conveyed by Tianhe through Li Xiaolin also made him tempted, especially the Tianhe Club is willing to solve the hukou problem and housing problem for him, and he can also enjoy various labor insurance benefits according to his actual length of service - alas, when he was in the provincial team two years ago, these were his goals, and when these things disappeared with the dissolution of the provincial team, he also had a long time of confusion and confusion, and now Shaanxi Tianhe mentioned them, which made him feel an indescribable sense of intimacy. For a moment, the words of this sincere invitation had reached his throat, but he swallowed them back anyway.
"Brother Li," he pursed his dry lips and said with difficulty, "I am very grateful to you, and I am also grateful to the head coach and boss of Shaanxi Tianhe. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, lowered his eyes, and didn't look at Li Xiaolin, whose face was full of hope. Now I won't hide it from you, Yao Yuan went to Shenzhen, just for my transfer to the blue sky, if I had known two days earlier, Shaanxi Tianhe would also look down on me......" He took a long breath and said faintly, "Brother Li, I can't just pat my chest with Shenzhen Blue Sky and swear that I must live and die with Blue Sky, turn around and kick people away and run to Xi'an, right?" "
Li Xiaolin stared at him for a long time and didn't speak, and then said, "The price of Shaanxi Tianhe is not low!" "
"It's not a question of money or not."
"What's the matter if it's not money?" Li Xiaolin asked reluctantly. He is now eagerly looking forward to Gao Jinsong going to Xi'an with him. There is basically no conflict between him and Gao Jinsong's position on the field, and the two will no longer have conflicts because of the distribution of interests, and with Gao Jinsong here, he can also find a helper when he has a bump with someone in the new team, and the most important thing is that a generalist like Gao Jinsong is easy to adapt to the new environment, and maybe he can help himself at a critical time.
Gao Jinsong couldn't answer this question. He has already promised Shenzhen Blue Sky, before Shenzhen Blue Sky rejected him, he couldn't take back what he said, even if Shenzhen Blue Sky has not given a clear answer to his conditions, it is impossible for him to turn his back and have any connection with Shaanxi Tianhe.
Li Xiaolin was silent for a long time before he reluctantly took out his mobile phone and was about to call, but he just dialed the number and cut off the phone, and asked reluctantly: "If you can't go to Shenzhen Blue Sky, do you plan to go to the provincial capital Mingyuan?" "
Gao Jinsong shook his head. He has a commitment to the blue sky of Shenzhen, but he doesn't have it to the provincial city of Mingyuan, besides, the provincial city of Mingyuan has not spoken directly to him until now, who knows what Mingyuan is thinking. If he can't go to Shenzhen, he won't necessarily go to the provincial capital, and then he will have to compare the conditions offered by various clubs that are interesting to him.
Li Xiaolin nodded. In this way, Gao Jinsong may not be able to go to Shenzhen, as long as someone pays a higher price than Blue Sky, the Blue Sky Club can only watch the ducks fly away. He lifted the cover of his mobile phone again, prepared to make a call, and asked casually: "What are the conditions given to you by Shenzhen Blue Sky?" "
Gao Jinsong immediately made a bitter face.
Shenzhen Blue Sky has only given him one condition so far, a position of the main center, even this condition was passed to him through Yao Yuan, and there is no definite word about the salary or anything. The purpose of Yao Yuan's visit to Shenzhen this time is to implement these practical terms and conditions. But until now, Yao Yuan hasn't had a phone call, and I don't know what this guy who is a guest agent for the first time has done.
This process almost seemed like child's play to Li Xiaolin's mouth, and it took him a long time before he came back to his senses and asked, "You are like this...... That's it, let Yao Yuan go to Shenzhen on your behalf? "He didn't seem to know Gao Jinsong, and looked him up and down several times." Seeing that you are a very smart person, how can you do such a ridiculous thing? Aren't you afraid that Yao Yuan will sell you halfway? "
Sold? That's impossible! Gao Jinsong immediately vouched for his friend. Yao Yuan is definitely not that kind of person! And Yao Yuan only negotiated the conditions with Shenzhen Lantian on his behalf, and the contract still had to be signed by him in person to count.
"Bullshit!" Li Xiaolin scoffed at Gao Jinsong's stupid and naïve ideas. "Yao Yuan wants to sell you just a few words. He also has this condition! "Yao Yuan can hook up with his acquaintances in the Blue Sky Club, use the two contracts to divide Gao Jinsong's interests, and divide the money that originally belonged to Gao Jinsong." For example, Shenzhen Blue Sky originally planned to give you a salary of 70,000 yuan, but there was only 40,000 yuan in the contract with you, and the remaining 30,000 yuan could be paid to Yao Yuan in other names, and then they would divide the money. "
"How is this possible?!" Gao Jinsong retorted. He didn't say this out of trust in Yao Yuan, but because he felt that people's hearts were far from being as dark, dirty and terrible as Li Xiaolin said, and he believed that Yao Yuan was definitely not the kind of guy who harmed others and benefited himself, and he would not let himself suffer in this matter. If Shenzhen Lantian was really willing to pay him a monthly salary of 70,000 yuan - of course, this figure itself is unlikely, he discussed it with Yao Yuan for a long time, and only then did he have the courage to set this figure at 50,000 yuan - Yao Yuan would never swallow even a penny privately. As for Lan Tian's willingness to give Yao Yuan some compensation financially after this matter is completely settled, he will definitely not be surprised - that is the reward that Yao Yuan deserves.
Li Xiaolin, who has witnessed this kind of disgusting thing and disgusting people, is too lazy to argue with Gao Jinsong about this kind of thing. He didn't avoid Gao Jinsong, and talked on the phone with officials from Tianhe, Shaanxi at the dinner table.
Gao Jinsong had no choice but to droop his eyelids to study the spicy chicken that earned the industry for the restaurant owner.
It seems that the boss of Shaanxi Tianhe, like his team's mascot, has a kind of perseverance and tenacity to his prey, Li Xiaolin quickly closed the phone, and told Gao Jinsong that the head of the technical department of the Tianhe club and an agent who was very close to them would take a recent flight to Wuhan, and when this round of the league is over, the boss himself will come to Wuhan as soon as possible to meet them.
"They want to implement your business as quickly as possible." Li Xiaolin couldn't help but said sourly, "No way, who told them to lack strikers?" Delay for another two days, and wait for the news that Yafeng is willing to let you go, I'm afraid that there will be clubs crying and shouting to come to Wuhan......" He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was obvious, if Shaanxi Tianhe didn't seize the time to get rid of Wuhan Yafeng and Gao Jinsong, then when the summer transfer market opened, it would be difficult to say whether Gao Jinsong could go to Xi'an.
Gao Jinsong was once again stunned by the sincerity of the Shaanxi people and the luxurious lineup they sent for this matter.
He remembered, a few days ago he also saw a report on Shaanxi Tianhe in the newspaper, the title is "Weak Forward Drags Down Shaanxi Tianhe": In this year's league, Tianhe has two games that are dominant, but because the striker can not score and has to shake hands with the opponent aggrievedly, the last round of the FA Cup is to expose this defect undoubtedly, in the face of a pure second-tier players fooled by the A B team, they around the opponent's goal back and forth for a full 80 minutes, just do not score, In the end, he also used an unlucky handball in the box to make the opponent happily go away......
"They didn't come to Wuhan all for you, they also had to negotiate with Yafeng face-to-face about my transfer, and there were some details of the problem...... "When he said this, he himself felt bored, so he shut up in a sneer.
Gao Jinsong was very moved by the hospitality of Shaanxi Tianhe, but he still said to Li Xiaolin: "I still have to wait for the news from Shenzhen before I can give you and give them a clear answer." If he doesn't agree, no one can do anything about him, even Yafeng can only let him stay in Wuhan.
Li Xiaolin stared at him for a long time before turning his face and calling the waiter to settle the account.
Brainless!
This is his second evaluation of Gao Jinsong tonight. The first evaluation is stupid, Gao Jinsong would let Yao Yuan, who has nothing to do with him and can never be restrained, go to Shenzhen to operate his own transfer matters, which is simply a stupid move that can only be had by madness!
However, he also had to admit that in fact, he still admired this teammate younger than himself, and at the same time envied him. He was even a little jealous of him......
Li Xiaolin settled the bill, and the two of them walked out of the restaurant and walked to the base together.
The restaurant is not far from the base, only less than two kilometers of flat concrete road, although there are no street lights, and the poplar trees on both sides of the road are also standing tall, but through the gap between the trees, the bright moon in the dark dark sky still swayed the clear light. In the fields, the chirping of summer insects came and went. The night breeze roams the land with a faint scent of grass. The farmhouses scattered far and near are shining with sparkling lights.
"Xiao Gao," after walking a long way, Li Xiaolin suddenly opened his mouth and said, "There is something I want to tell you ......"
"Huh? You said. "
Li Xiaolin smacked his lips and hesitated. It seems that he himself does not know where to start. At the end he said, "I'm just giving you a reminder, it's up to you to decide how to do it......
"Say it, I'll listen."
"The two people from Tianhe, Shaanxi just want to see your technical performance on the spot, you have to be energetic."
Gao Jinsong nodded. This is not necessary for Li Xiaolin to remind him, he knows what to do, even if there is no Shaanxi Tianhe, he can't be as passive as those teammates in today's game. Anyway, he still receives a salary in Wuhan Yafeng's finances, and there are various subsidies for every game he plays, he has to be worthy of the money he gets, those fans and spectators have spent money to watch the game, and he has to be worthy of them. Besides, his current performance is still related to his impression in the eyes of the new owner, how can he ruin himself at this time?
"But you can't work too hard. You must know that Cheng Dexing, who is about to come to Yafeng, is not a thing," the name almost burst out from between Li Xiaolin's teeth. "But he has a very good way of seeing people, if you behave too well, maybe you won't be able to leave--Cheng Dexing's bastard bastard will probably not let you go!"
Gao Jinsong nodded noncommittally. If you can't go, you won't go, it's nothing, the injured main striker has to rest for several rounds, and he has the time and opportunity to fight for this main position. After a few more games and a few more wonderful performances, maybe he will really become Yafeng's main center, and there is not much difference between leaving and not leaving at that time - the first consideration for him to go to another club is not to be able to play? Since he can also play the main force in Wuhan Yafeng, he is still reluctant to change clubs, even if he can get more money, he is not willing! In the future, there will be opportunities to make money, and the most important thing for him now is to play more games, accumulate more experience, and hone his skills......
Seeing that his warning was not taken to heart by Gao Jinsong, Li Xiaolin was a little anxious: "You haven't been under him, I don't know how bad this person is!" "
Gao Jinsong glanced at Li Xiaolin, who was blushing a little with excitement. He didn't quite believe Li Xiaolin's words. Yafeng so many players are willing to be Cheng Dexing as the head coach, what other realm can this person go? Besides, even Wei Honglin firmly stood on Cheng Dexing's side, which shows that Cheng is still very popular, and his coaching level will not be bad. He doesn't understand others, he still doesn't understand Wei Honglin?
But he suddenly felt that he didn't know Wei Honglin at all, at least he didn't understand why Wei Honglin would do such a thing in today's game!
Wei Honglin's actions in the game were simply creating opportunities for the opponent to score, and Guangzhou Wuhua's inexplicable penalty kick was also specially given to them by Wei Honglin.
They - Wei Honglin and his out-of-form teammates - just want the team to lose!
They don't want the team to go far in the FA Cup!
But what are they doing this for? Is it just to drive away the words and guidance?
He immediately dismissed this answer in his heart. Yan Liangcheng is only a transitional acting head coach, even if the club is willing to correct him, Yan may not accept it, he seems to be more willing to do some training work in the second and third tier teams, or continue to learn with a certain head coach. This is evident from the fact that he rarely speaks at pre-match meetings, he almost never publicizes his views on the team's tactical set-up, and he rarely gives advice in the dressing room, and many times he only communicates his views to his colleagues, and before he became acting head coach, he seems to be remembered only for his dedication to the team's training, and for the severe punishment of those who violate the club's rules and regulations. This latter point is probably one of the reasons why the players are not willing to obey his commands.
In fact, being the head coach of Yafeng is not necessarily a bad thing. At least that's what Gao Jinsong thinks.
Yan Liangcheng knows this team very well and knows these players very well, which is one of his strengths; Second, he has always been You Shen's assistant, and the style and tactical habits of You Coach can be continued in his hands, which can also effectively avoid turmoil in the team's results. Of course, the most important reason is that Yan Liangcheng also admires him Gao Jinsong, and the two talk for much more time than You Shen, who single-handedly brought him into Wuhan Yafeng, and because You Shen insisted on putting him on the bench and even selling him to other clubs, he is more willing to let Yan Liangcheng, who also appreciates himself and attaches more importance to himself, be the head coach of Yafeng - Yan Gui put himself in the starting list in the first official game of independent coaching, what a deep trust!
It's a pity that he can't say a word about who will coach Wuhan Yafeng......
He regretted it a little now. If he had known that things had evolved into what they were today, then he should have communicated with Wei Honglin earlier, maybe he could explain Wei Honglin? With Wei Honglin's influence in the club and popularity in the team, maybe there will be no such tense situation today.
However, he did not resent his friend because of Wei Honglin's ridiculous performance in today's game. He believed that Wei Honglin must have a reason for doing this, but he didn't explain it clearly to himself, or he expressed that meaning euphemistically, but he couldn't grasp it. Yes, he admitted that Wei Honglin did do something to hurt the interests of the team today, but in the end he did not cause substantial harm to the team, so he has every reason to forgive his friend.
He subjectively excused his friend and wishfully believed that the game was just an extreme way for the players to express their opposition to the acting manager. As for Yan Liangcheng, who is also a good person, Gao Jinsong feels that the victory of the game will definitely make up for the damage suffered by the Yan Coach, and they also win so beautifully, which can increase the weight of the Yan Coach in the club, maybe when the new head coach leaves because of unsatisfactory results, the Yan Gui can naturally sit in the position of the head coach.
But there is still a question hovering in his mind - everyone knows that Director Yan only acts as an agent to coach such an insignificant FA Cup, why do Wei Honglin and others spend so much effort to drum up these things?
In the end, he threw the question to Li Xiaolin.
Li Xiaolin grinned and said, "What's so hard to understand about this?" Director Yan led the team to win the game, so if Cheng Dexing led the team to lose the game, how should the surnamed Cheng explain to the club and fans? He just won the league on Sunday, and he didn't have much face - Guangzhou Wuhua was fourth in the league, and Sichuan Hongsheng, who came to Wuhan on Sunday, was fourth from the bottom of the league. Only when Yan Gui loses, and then he takes office and wins, can he show his ability. As he spoke, he sneered, "Look at it, Cheng Dexing will definitely not take over Yafeng next, and then those guys in the team will definitely try their best to lose Sunday's game, and then the person surnamed Cheng will take over this 'mess' under the pleading of Yafeng Club!" He'd done this before! He spat hatefully on the ground.
Gao Jinsong couldn't believe his ears! He opened his mouth wide in horror, his face was as pale as if he had seen countless terrible demons suddenly appear in front of his eyes, even the muscles of his cheeks were spasming and twitching unconsciously, and he could feel an eerie cool air rushing up from the soles of his feet, down his spine to the top of his head, and then to his whole body. He seemed to have fallen into a cave of ice that had not melted all year round, and the biting cold penetrated his clothes, his skin and muscles, and all the way into his bone marrow......
Li Xiaolin walked a few steps, noticed that Gao Jinsong did not follow, turned around and glanced at him suspiciously: "Why didn't you leave suddenly?" "
"I ...... Not...... Not...... It's okay. Gao Jinsong used all his strength to barely let the clicking sound of his teeth clasp mix into his words.
Li Xiaolin stopped, looked at him with a complicated expression, and said for a long time: "Terrible, right?" Scared? "
Gao Jinsong only now regained control of his hands, feet and body, and said with a strong smile: "You make up stories, right?" …… Wei Honglin, how could they be like you said. He said words of denial, but there was still a thunderbolt in his ears, his heart was beeping in his chest, and his hands and feet were stiff and almost painful. Thinking of Wei Honglin and his main forces gathering with Cheng Dexing the night before yesterday, and when they came back, they found stubble and tore their faces with Yan Liangcheng to make a big fuss, and they also stabbed this matter to the media and exposed it in the newspapers, and then to their various performances in today's game, what they did was exactly the same as what Li Xiaolin said, and they were not happy at all - he had completely believed Li Xiaolin's words.
"I've done this before." Li Xiaolin said lightly, "That time was also for Cheng Dexing." He turned his gaze to the fields covered in silver-white moonlight. It's stupid to think about it now, but it wasn't like it then. "
Gao Jinsong tried hard to restrain himself. He didn't ask when it was.
"I felt like I should do that, and Coach Cheng deserves it!" He lit a cigarette and stopped for a long time until it was more than half gone.
In 1980, Li Xiaolin had just turned ten years old, he was still a child in the alley, and he only knew how to skip school and play slingshot and play glass balls every day.
"My dad said that he didn't have a chance to play football, and he wouldn't let me go to the sports school, and the sports school was far away from my house, almost across the city, and he was also worried about my safety. At that time, Director Cheng ran to my house every day, repeatedly doing my father's ideological work, and later my father told me that it was Director Cheng's enthusiasm and persistence that moved him, otherwise he would never let me play football. "
Two years later, it was Cheng Dexing who recommended him to the city's youth football team, and one summer, Cheng Dexing led him to the provincial youth team, then the youth team, and finally the senior team......
"When my dad was alive, he often told me that the person I should be most grateful for in this life is Director Cheng, otherwise I can only be like him, working as a boring porter in the street factory in the alley. I always remember my father's words, as long as it is what Director Cheng said, what he asked me to do, I would never discount it at all, even if he asked me to kick and break someone's leg, I never asked myself whether it should be done or not, whether it was appropriate or not.
"'93, the first year of the professional league, we went to Foshan, Guangdong Province to participate in the annual national championship," he grinned at Gao Jinsong, who had been listening quietly to his story. "You also know that this was the most important event at that time, and after a year of hard work, how much bonus you can get at the end of the year, whether your salary can rise in the next year, it all depends on the results of this competition."
Gao Jinsong nodded. Yes, that year was also a turning point in his life, he had just been promoted to the senior team that year, and it was also the first time in his life that he participated in the highest level of national championships; Although their team played in Group B, although he only played 61 minutes in four games, and although they were only 11th in the end, he can still clearly recall many scenes at that time.
"We were lucky that year, we won several teams that were better than us, there were several games in which no one looked favorably on us, and we stumbled to win and finally made it to the last four. In the semi-finals, our opponent was the Guangdong team, which was the real strong team, but at that time, our whole team was so full of energy, everyone was holding back their strength, and no one believed that they would lose to the Guangdong team. Every day, we don't need the coach to hold a bamboo pole, I remind each other to go to the playground to practice, and we will only go to eat and sleep until the coach comes to play and play. Where is it now, as long as the coach doesn't speak, who has nothing to do to go to the playground to boil oil and sweat?
"There are two days to go before the semi-finals, and I was on the playground that afternoon, and a staff member of the Sports Bureau who went to Foshan with the team secretly told me that I had an urgent matter at home to find me, and the phone was chased to the guest house office, but the team leader just didn't let people inform me. He told me to call home and ask what was going on. I took ten minutes off work and called the commissary in front of my house in the mailroom in front of the guest house. The neighbors told me that my father had been hospitalized for several days, and they were afraid that they would not be able to survive the situation, and asked me why I didn't go back to see it. I asked which hospital it was and if it could help me find my phone number. I have a phone number, but I don't have the money to make the call. I had a jersey and a pair of pants on me, and I couldn't afford any money, but the people in the mailroom had to ask me to settle the phone bill before I could call again. I was in a hurry, called the people in the mailroom, grabbed the phone and hung up the hospital on the phone, and finally found my sister. My sister cried when she answered the phone, saying that my dad was no longer good, just a day or two. I grabbed the phone and cried. Then the police came and took me to the police station. The team bailed me out. Director Cheng scolded me for not knowing anything. I asked Director Cheng who wouldn't let me answer the phone when I called the guest house from home. No one spoke. I said I was going home to see my dad. Director Cheng didn't agree, saying that I was the main force, the backbone, and I wanted to have the appearance of the main force. I cried and begged him, but he still wouldn't answer. No matter how much I pleaded with him, he would not answer. He didn't promise that I wouldn't even be able to get the money for the train ticket back. That night, two good teammates pooled the money for me to go to Guangzhou, and I bought a platform ticket in Guangzhou, shrunk under the seat and went home. But I still couldn't catch one last look at my dad. My sister told me that my father's last words were to ask, why haven't I gone back yet......
"Cheng Dexing! Are you human?! You're still not human! "
At this point in the story, Li Xiaolin couldn't cry anymore, squatting on the side of the road and grabbing his hair vigorously, crying heartbreakingly.
Gao Jinsong also silently accompanied him to tears.
Although he left home when he was a child and lived in the dormitory and canteen alone in teams at all levels, he can still imagine how a ten-year-old child travels through the city to play football in a sports school, and he can still imagine what kind of hard work and hard work Li Xiaolin's father has put in to make his son play football...... He still remembers the last few times he went home to visit his bedridden father, his face was already thin and there was no flesh left, and his eyes always followed him, and that warm gaze full of kindness and comfort made him always look back on his heart full of pride and pride. He still remembered the last words his father said before leaving, in front of the three siblings, and the clearest and smoothest sentence he said in two years:
"Good, good ......"
Tears filled his eyes again.
Li Xiaolin stopped crying, but his curled up body was still sobbing hard, spitting one after another, and his hands were so trembling that he couldn't even take the cigarette case and lighter out of his pocket.
Gao Jinsong walked over and took out a cigarette and lighter for him, lit it and handed it to his mouth. Li Xiaolin's hands trembled so much that he couldn't hold the cigarette at all.
Gao Jinsong squatted beside him and lit a cigarette.
With the power of tobacco and the understanding and concern of his friends, Li Xiaolin's emotions gradually calmed down, and he was finally able to tell his story again.
-- Since his father's death, his sister's family has not spoken to him. In the semi-finals of the tournament that year, their team also lost to the Guangdong team without any suspense, and could only watch the Guangdong team compete with the Liaoning team for the championship and runner-up, and watch the Liaoning team complete the great feat of ten consecutive championships. They didn't even make it to third place.
"How could we beat the Cantonese to reach the final? The gap between the strength of the two teams is not round, it is Foshan, Guangdong, the home of others; The referees eat Cantonese people, drink Cantonese people, and take Cantonese people, can we still hope that they will come to help us in the end? Even if it was the Liaoning team that won the championship in the end, what did it get? With such a strong Liaoning team and half of the national team, isn't it almost possible to 'nine consecutive championships'? --It's ridiculous, at that time, we really wanted to overturn Liaoning and go to glory so much! "
After the championship, his master-apprentice relationship with Cheng Dexing came to an end, in fact, when he escaped from Foshan overnight to Guangzhou, Cheng Dexing said that he didn't want to play football again in his life. Cheng Dexing is an iron handsome, and when he says it, he not only governs the army strictly, but even what he says is a spit pit. After the championship, the national team conducted a large-scale training camp, and the coaching staff called him by name, but when he walked to the team, Cheng Dexing opened his mouth and said that this Li Xiaolin had corrupt moral character and weak willpower. In fact, the second one is redundant, and it was enough to have the first one that year, and this one basically blocked Li Xiaolin's way to enter the national team. It was also in the winter of that year that the Football Association announced the official launch of the professional league. The youth team of their province is the A B team, and according to the regulations of the Football Association, the two teams must be separated, otherwise the youth team will be deprived of the League B qualification. There was a large enterprise in the province that did not catch up with the investment and shareholding of the provincial team, so it turned its attention to the youth team, and immediately recruited troops after the buyout, and fell in love with him. He didn't want to stay in the team anymore to see the ugly face surnamed Cheng, and was willing to lower his status to go to A B. But Cheng Dexing just didn't agree, he had to act in accordance with the team's regulations, Li Xiaolin left the team for more than ten days without leave, and should be severely punished. Three days of absenteeism can only be a punishment of dismissal, and ten days of absenteeism should be shot? No, at this time, Cheng Dexing proposed to "punish the former and save the future", and use the strength of the organization to help Li Xiaolin, educate Li Xiaolin, and transform Li Xiaolin, so he can't be expelled, and the two measures of staying in the team for a year, suspending the game, suspending training, and suspending pay can achieve the goal of saving Li Xiaolin......
"Then how did you get to Wuhan?" Gao Jinsong asked.
"Not everyone is on his side, and there are people who sympathize with me and pity me, and they say good things for me in front of Cheng Dexing. I also let out cruel words myself, telling him not to do all the bad things! That's it, I came to Wuhan Yafeng, and then slowly sat on the bench from the stands, and then turned from the bench to the main force. He hatefully stretched out his foot and trampled on the cigarette butt that had been crushed on the ground.
Gao Jinsong said: "In fact, the transfer is nothing, change teams, learn more tactical styles, accumulate more experience, maybe it can come in handy." "
Li Xiaolin glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "How old are you, and you are also here to learn how to say comforting words?" It also comes in handy! Get out of the way. Seeing Gao Jinsong's sneering, he felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "I will also kick the ball in my life." --You don't need to convince me, I know my own business, the best opportunity has been missed, and a lot of time has been wasted; Besides, a lot of things are fixed, and they can't be changed, and it's almost wishful thinking to go further, let alone come in handy. I can only find a club that can't afford to mix up the main and semi-main teams, praying not to get hurt, while crossing my fingers and waiting for retirement. You're not like me, your fundamentals are solid, your skills are forward, your awareness and your understanding of football ......" he didn't know what to say anymore. In addition to speed, Gao Jinsong's ability may be better than him in everything, and the quality of his crosses is much higher than that of his full-back, who relies on crosses. He pursed his lips and pondered, and said for a long time, "Listen to my advice, if you have a chance to get out of Wuhan Yafeng, it's best to leave here, change places, you still have a chance to go to the next level, maybe you can go up a few floors." He stood up, patted the soil on his knees, and paused, as if to say to Gao Jinsong and to himself, "The longer you fight here, the colder your heart becomes; The more things I saw, the more scared I became. Sometimes I wonder if I had not played football as a child, at least I would have been able to finish secondary school without any problems, or at least I would have been able to pick up my dad's class in the street factory, and maybe he wouldn't have left so early...... Sometimes I dream, I dream that my dad didn't leave because he was sick at all, but because he was tired - for several years, he picked me up twice a day from school, even if there was a knife in the sky, and he would wait for me at the gate of the sports school......"
Gao Jinsong silently chewed Li Xiaolin's words.
"The longer you mess around here, the colder your heart becomes; The more I see, the more scared I get. "
He could appreciate the deep emotion and sigh contained in these simple words.
Before tonight, he had never realized that the black and white ball was wrapped in such a complex relationship, and he had never felt fear. Yes, he has also had injuries in the past years, and he has also suffered a long time in a hospital bed, but the pain of illness and the pain of losing a game and the loss of a certain tournament have not made him afraid and retreat, even in the dark time after the disbandment of his parent team, he still insisted on the most basic training, hoping that one day he can stand on the court again, he will fly with the black and white elves. Later it turned out that he did just that. Not only did he get back in the middle of the pitch, he set his stage all the way to the First Division, and he even made himself the target of several clubs in just three games. He knows that his wings are not yet full, and his body may not be able to withstand more violent wind and rain, but he also knows that his wings will eventually become full, and his body will one day be able to fight against the storm, and one day, he will fly higher and farther......
But he now knows to be scared.
It's not just fear, it's fear. He never imagined that the simple world of football could be filled with such complex and strange things, they were like a bottomless vortex, rolling everything into it, and then stirring it together, and when they reappeared, no one could tell what they were. His friend Wei Honglin is already involved; Li Xiaolin, who just had dinner with himself, said that "many things are fixed", of course, he is not just talking about his skills, he is saying that he himself does not dare to know himself; There were also many teammates he knew and didn't know knew had stepped out of the bus and stood on the green belt, and they had already been swept in or were preparing to be swept in......
He must escape from this vortex, and he will not hesitate to escape from this vortex!
He had to act now. You can go anywhere, as long as you can escape!
In a trance, he couldn't remember what he had said to Li Xiaolin.
"Maybe Cheng Dexing is not as unbearable as I said." Li Xiaolin said with a bitter expression, "My opinion of this person is only my opinion, and I must also look at this person and what he has done to me from my own perspective, so it must be mixed with my personal prejudices, which is inevitably not fair enough." In fact, many people say that he is a good coach, especially those players who he brought out single-handedly, and they all respect him very much. I myself used to have a lot of respect for him and hope to be like him one day. "
Gao Jinsong was surprised. It doesn't get much more absurd than this. In just one hour, he had heard two diametrically opposed comments about another person from the same person.
"There's nothing surprising about that. Because we are all human beings, and human beings are always the most complex, the same verbal actions are very reasonable here, but it may be absurd in a different environment. Li Xiaolin said this great truth like a philosopher. He smiled at Gao Jinsong, "This is something I saw in a book a long time ago, and I didn't really understand what it meant, but now I figure it out." Obviously, he also completed his criticism of himself while criticizing Cheng Dexing, which is undoubtedly a thing that makes people happy, and what makes us happy is that this kind of ideological cognition often brings unexpected effects to people, which makes us even happier for Li Xiaolin.
Regarding Li Xiaolin's words, Gao Jinsong could only nod his head as if he understood or not. He didn't have enough experience to savor the deep meaning of Li Xiaolin's words.
When he was about to arrive at the gate of the base, Li Xiaolin stretched out his hand to Gao Jinsong with a solemn expression, and said sincerely: "Thank you." "
This was the first time in Li Xiaolin's life that he had respectfully shook hands with someone his age.
