Chapter 5 (12)

Gao Jinsong did not immediately go to Chen Mingcan, but used as the second attached building of the club's office.

It's race day and there's a lot going on.

The first thing he has to do is to check the readiness of the players' equipment. Jerseys, pants, sneakers, socks, protectors and spikes, all the equipment to be used in the game must be carefully checked and checked, such as jerseys and pants, such as consumables, to prepare a few more sets against the squad; In order to protect the body of the players sitting on the bench, and to replace the players who are not going to catch a cold in the rain, it will definitely not be wrong to bring more dry clothes; The date of manufacture of the drink should be checked one by one; Clean towels and bath towels are a must;

With a notebook in his hand, he and three staff members checked the various items in the room full of cardboard boxes in turn, and when the quality and quantity of each item were correct, he ticked the box under that item. The subjects in the record book even include trivial items such as shampoo, soap, and shower gel, and they all have special instructions on who likes to use which brand of shampoo and who likes to use a certain brand of soap, all of which need to be checked one by one......

These cumbersome details of the pre-match preparations were only suggested after he took over as the manager's administrative assistant. At the beginning, the staff did not buy his account, because this invisibly increased their workload, and even the general manager Sun Junshan did not understand what brand of shampoo and what brand of shower gel to use, could it still change the result of the game? But Gao Jinsong insisted on doing so. His reasoning is simple: the club should do everything they can to make it possible for players to play well, and shampoo and soap are of course included. He also said that if the game does not go well, any omission in the preparation may further worsen the mood of the players, and may also lead to unnecessary conflicts, so before the game, you should try to resolve the potential conflict-inducing conditions; And if the game goes well, these details can be the icing on the cake and make the atmosphere inside the team more joyful and harmonious. Sun Junshan couldn't compete with him, so he had to turn around and do the ideological work of a few employees, so that they could adapt to the new changes in their work.

"Blue Wind Shower Gel." He read to the notebook.

"Yes." A staff member immediately found a milky plastic bottle and handed it to him. He took it, unscrewed the cap and poured a little on the back of his hand, the transparent viscous liquid exuding a faint fragrance. He screwed the lid on again, asked the staff to put it in the cardboard box, and then ticked the box under the item labeled "Chen Mingcan Blue Wind Shower Gel". The following is Zhang Chi's favorite baby soap.

"Baby soap."

The staff immediately found the thing and put it in the carton after handing it to Gao Jinsong for a look.

Today's preparatory work review is going smoothly, and there is no longer a lack of east or west like the previous times, and there is no negligence or omission of the items on the list, which makes Gao Jinsong feel a lot more relieved. He was worried just now that a few staff members would deliberately cause trouble for him as they had done the previous times. It seems that they can also distinguish between good and bad, knowing that if the preparation is meticulous, the team cannot shift the responsibility to the club's logistics if the team loses, and if the game has a desirable result, the logistics staff can also be praised and rewarded by the club.

Although the work went smoothly, more than an hour had passed by the time more than a dozen large and small cartons were loaded onto the car.

After all this, the three support staff can take a short break and leave for the stadium after lunch.

But Gao Jinsong can't rest, he has other things to be busy.

He went back to his office and hung up the phone at a three-star hotel and a stadium in the city. The three-star hotel is the hotel where the team stays on the home game day, where the team has lunch at noon, rests for two hours after the meal, and then at the stadium, before the team leaves, he must confirm whether the reception work of the hotel is all ready, whether the lunch is ready, and whether the room is vacant. If that's not enough, he's also responsible for communication and coordination between the club and the hotel. As for the second call, it was because yesterday afternoon when he was inspecting the stadium locker room, he found that there were two broken shower heads in the bathhouse, and there was a problem with the hot water switch of the faucet, and there was no way to control the amount of water. The stadium promised to solve it immediately, and he also specially told the people in the stadium that they must call to inform them when it is repaired, but there is no news so far, so he has to call to ask.

The reception of the hotel is ready, the team can come at any time, and the meals are also according to the requirements of the club, mainly vegetarian and light, with only two kinds of meat, salted beef and fried chicken thighs. The stadium has replaced the broken hot water switch and the shower head that does not produce water, but the person in charge of this forgot to inform the club of the news in time.

It seems that the situation is not bad.

The third call was to the New Era Fan Association, which wanted the club to organise the fans and create some atmosphere for today's game.

Before he could finish his sentence, the head of the association interrupted him very unceremoniously, and said that the association could not organize people to go to the stadium.

"Mingyuan, the provincial city of China, provides financial support to the fan association, what do you give? Mingyuan can rent a bus to pull fans to the stadium, are you willing to spend this money? Mingyuan also organizes fans to visit and celebrate in the base, what about you? The flags, horns, gongs and drums of the Mingyuan Fan Association are all purchased by Mingyuan, what have you helped the Fan Association procure? Those few broken flags last year are still in use now! He even sneered, "Even if you are willing to pay for people, I'm afraid no one wants to come to watch a game in the rain, right?" ”

What the person in charge of the association said was the truth, Gao Jinsong had no way to refute it, and now he had something to ask for someone, let alone hang up the phone. He could only pinch the microphone and listen to the head of the association complaining.

After the person in charge vented, he first apologized to the person in charge for the mistakes in the team's previous stage of work, and then said that in the current situation, the club hopes to get the understanding and support of fans and fan associations, and hopes that the fan association can organize some fans to go to the scene to cheer for the team......

"Okay, you don't have to explain this to me. I'm going to ask and see if anyone wants to go. The person in charge said impatiently, "I'm really bad for eight lifetimes, and I would have agreed to be the head of this Rausch Fan Association!" With that, he hung up.

Gao Jinsong put the phone away, walked to the window and looked outside.

The southern sky finally had a pale glow, and the rain seemed to be lighter than in the morning, and the rain-washed air was mixed with the fragrance of earth and green grass, soaking the hearts of people.

Maybe the rain is about to stop. He was a little happy. If the rain still doesn't stop, Beicheng Stadium is an open-air stadium that does not shelter from the wind and rain, how can there be fans willing to go to the scene to watch the game? What's more, this is still a match of League B......

He sighed silently in his heart. Because of their own congenital conditions are insufficient, the game scene and results can not attract fans and spectators, so the new era of the ball market is extremely sluggish, many times a game can only sell 100 tickets, the empty stands in the stadium look both disappointing and sad, the biggest charm of football games is the venting of collective emotions, but in the face of no one cheering the scene, even the most passionate players, will feel monotonous and boring, so that even the celebration with teammates after the goal can only be simple perfunctory. In this case, the only thing the team can rely on is the fan association, and I hope they can organize fans to the scene to create some lively atmosphere and mobilize the emotions and enthusiasm of the players. But in the provincial capital, a city with a weak football atmosphere, and facing the competition and suppression of the provincial city of Mingyuan, what can a fan association do? Besides, the operation of the fan association is not only the enthusiasm of the fans, they also need funds and materials, and when the team's record is poor and the fans are scarce and weak, they can only rely on the club to deliver the most basic operating funds and materials. However, at present, the club's funds are tight, and it cannot provide much help to the fan association, so it can only try to meet the requirements of the association in the supply of tickets. It sounds more like a joke, do you still need a ticket to see the new era of competition?

He was vaguely aware that the New Era Club and its fan clubs were gradually entering a strange circle because of their sluggish results and poor financial situation, and the team was unable to help the fan association grow, and the fan association could not organize fans to support the team, and could not help the team expand its influence and appeal. As for what the team's impact and appeal mean, he doesn't know exactly what it means, but he only vaguely feels that both things should be important for the club.

He waved his hand, banishing all the thoughts in his head. Whether it is the fan association or the appeal of the club, these are all things that Sun Junshan and the club's leadership team should consider, and what he has to do as an administrative assistant to the head coach is to do a good job of the things that the head coach and the club have given him.

He returned to his desk, picked up his work diary, and double-checked what he had done this morning.

One last thing left.

He pulled a bag out of a drawer, then walked to the door of the manager's office next door, knocked on the hidden door, and pushed it inside.

The room was filled with smoke, and the choking smell of tobacco made people frown. The three coaches and Sun Junshan were all in this small room, and they didn't speak. A video of the game in southern Zhuhai was being shown on TV, but no one paid attention to the footage. There were a lot of papers scattered on the coffee table, some big and some small, the small ones were similar to the cards he showed Zhang Chi and Zhou Zhidong in the morning, and the big one was a copy paper, each paper was a variety of numbers, symbols, dotted solid lines and simple scribbled words.

This way of using pieces of paper to record tactics, diagrams, and text prompts was also his suggestion, which he learned from You Shen and Yan Liangcheng. You Shen likes to give these pieces of paper to a specific player, Yan Liangcheng likes to make them into slide shows, and he suggested that the New Era Club draw some important tactical illustrations one by one, not only their own tactical coordination, but also the tactics used by the opponent, and then paste them on the club's notice board so that everyone can often figure it out. Zheng Changsheng also went a step further on this foundation, asking that this kind of picture be posted in every corner of the club, the restaurant, the team doctor's room, the conference room, and the dormitory, and everything that can be pasted, and he should let every player be familiar with every tactical cooperation, and be familiar with his position and role in the tactics. What the effect of this is, it is not known for the time being, the team's results do not seem to have improved significantly, the games that should have been lost have not been won, the games that should not have been lost have not been lost, the players have reacted very coldly to this approach, there is no opposition, and no one has clearly expressed support, but Zheng Changsheng and the two assistant coaches believe that this method is definitely better than nothing.

When Sun Junshan saw him, he asked, "The matter of the hotel and the stadium has been solved?" In the past, he personally asked about these things, but recently, he has handed over a lot of chores related to the team to Gao Jinsong, and he can concentrate on running for funds.

Gao Jinsong nodded and briefly introduced the situation on both sides.

Zheng Changsheng put down the copy paper in his hand, thought for a while, and asked, "How is the stadium now?" ”

"I didn't ask." Gao Jinsong said, "The situation of the venue can only be known when we look at it in the past." I've got three kinds of spikes in the backroom, and we won't have to decide which one to use until the game. "It's not yet possible to confirm the situation of the venue, it all depends on how long the rain lasts and how much rain it takes, and when he goes to the stadium and looks at the turf, he will be able to make an accurate prediction.

Hearing him say this, Zheng Changsheng bowed slightly, and turned his attention to the piece of paper again. He didn't ask anything more, and he was still very satisfied with Gao Jinsong's work ability. To be honest, there are not many things that satisfy him when he returns to the new era as a head coach, but Sun Junshan brought Gao Jinsong back and arranged for him to be an administrative assistant, which is definitely a thing that satisfies him. Gao Jinsong is down-to-earth, capable, flexible and can adhere to principles, and the words of the players also have weight, which saves him a lot of effort in team management. The only pity is that the little guy may not be able to play football anymore, otherwise, he really wants to train him to replace Guan Mingshan's captaincy role; Even if the new era can't last long, he can still use his old connections to arrange a good position for him in another club. It's a pity......

Gao Jinsong put the three packets of biscuits in his hand in front of Zheng Changsheng and reminded: "This is your 'medicine'." ”

Several people next to him laughed. The old coach has a serious stomach problem, and he often doesn't remember to take medicine on time, and he is not allowed to eat when he is busy, so he has two stomach aches in three days.

"Oh, oh." Zheng Changsheng snorted twice in succession. Then he was a little flustered and put all the biscuits on the coffee table into the satchel handed over by Sun Junshan. He originally wanted to say a few words of thanks to Gao Jinsong, but he couldn't open his mouth, and only asked after a while, "When are you going to the stadium?" ”

"Twelve o'clock, about one o'clock."

"Oh." The old coach nodded, and stopped talking.

The goalkeeper coach waited for Gao Jinsong to leave the office and close the door, and then said regretfully: "What a good seedling, Shengsheng was abolished by Wuhan Yafeng and Cheng Dexing......

No one reacted to the words of the goalkeeper coach. Sun Junshan rubbed his swollen temples with his eyes closed, the assistant coach was reviewing the list of starters, the old coach Zheng Changsheng was still staring at the piece of paper in his hand, and even the goalkeeper coach himself was smoking a cigarette, as if he hadn't said anything just now.
