Chapter 4 (3)

Mingyuan had the advantage in this game, until the end of the game or a two-goal lead, seeing that the game was coming to an end, just when everyone thought that there was no suspense in this game, Wuhan Yafeng miraculously turned the tables at the last moment, not only scored two goals in a row to tie the score in just five minutes, but also took advantage of the opportunity of the provincial city of Mingyuan, which was unwilling to draw and poured out of the nest, to press on the opportunity, and almost rewrote the score again - Yafeng No. 12 player's long pass landed excellently, The Uruguayan striker easily gained control of the ball while getting rid of the opponent, and if it weren't for the referee's immediate whistle to end the game, Mingyuan people would probably have to drink a cup of bitter wine brewed by themselves.

"The provincial city of Mingyuan lost a good situation."

For this draw, three national football professional newspapers published early the next morning felt sorry for the provincial city of Mingyuan. The top two in the league have encountered strong resistance in this round of games, both lost, if Mingyuan can maintain the victory until the end, they will be at the top of the league for the first time, which will undoubtedly give them some psychological advantage for the next round away to the A giants Shanghai Taixing.

In addition to regretting, the media invariably heard the same question, why did the provincial city Mingyuan lose a good game at the last moment of the game? Football News believes that it is an old problem of inattention in the late stages of the game, and the evidence is that Wuhan Yafeng's attack was barely decently blocked in the last few minutes; "Fans" believes that the problem lies in the goalkeeper, Mingyuan's front, middle and back three lines are led by international players, but the goalkeeper is a guy who has only participated in the first B game, and it is inevitable that he will make some mistakes at a critical time, and the second goal scored by Yafeng has a lot to do with his rash abandonment of the goal; "Northern Sports Daily" believes that Mingyuan's tactics are conservative, and they should not leave the opponent a chance to breathe.

"Why don't you write about that referee?" Wu Xingguang, the general manager of Yafeng, put a large stack of newspapers on the coffee table when he entered the door.

You Shen and his two assistants were reviewing the gains and losses of the game in front of the video, and the idle team leader was also sitting in this room. This is a cultural person, and now he still has the false title of vice chairman of the Hubei Writers Association, and his pen skills are very good, but his ability on his feet is lacking, so he can hardly interject when the three coaches speak, so he has to smoke for a while and refill the water for a while, but fortunately he knows that he is clumsy, but it is not annoying.

Seeing Wu Xingguang angrily slamming the door and walking in, the team leader immediately gave up a seat for Wu Xingguang, made him a cup of tea, and then gave everyone a cigarette to light the fire, and then took the newspaper on the coffee table to read. Flipping through the front and back, he already understood what General Manager Wu was angry with. In addition to the introduction of the game process, there are excerpts from interviews with the head coach and core players after the game, game tactics evaluation, and even pre-game and post-game tidbits, dense text almost fills the entire page; But it is the turn of Wuhan Yafeng, except for the two goals mentioned in passing when describing the game process, only the words "Wuhan Yafeng" can be seen in the A-League ranking list in the upper right corner of the layout.

"It's not something to be angry about." The team leader smiled and persuaded Wu Xingguang. Seeing Wu Xingguang rolling his eyelids and ignoring himself, he explained, "The provincial city of Mingyuan was so big when he transferred at the end of last year, which offended so many people, and now everyone is waiting to see their jokes, not to mention those clubs that have had a holiday with them, even ordinary fans and readers can't wait to see them fold their heels - this is human nature." How could the editors and reporters of those media outlets let go of such a focus? Naturally, they write what the reader needs. Don't you see that the words of these reporters are obviously praise, but secretly they are gloating? "Saying that, he read an original sentence in the newspaper, "'In the last few minutes of the game, Mingyuan's defense had no obvious holes, and it was not the goalkeeper's fault that he lost the ball twice, and after the game, Coach Mingyuan affirmed the performance of his players. He raised his face again and smiled, "Is this a praise for Mingyuan or a praise for us?" They don't have holes in their defense, how do we score goals? ”

As soon as he explained like this, most of the anger in Wu Xingguang's heart disappeared. He also knows the truth of what the team leader said, but his team didn't teach the provincial city Mingyuan to bargain in such a difficult situation, no matter how you say it, it's a thing worth boasting about, but there are only a few words in the newspaper that are so light, and it is inevitable that there will be some anger.

They should have written it too! If you don't write it out, how will others know how good we are! As soon as he said that, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly changed his words, "And the referee, if he didn't help, Mingyuan would have been able to draw with us?" ”

The team leader buried his head in the newspaper, pretending not to hear the general manager's words, but several coaches laughed together. They had already read these newspapers just now, and the goalkeeper coach muttered a lot of complaints, the content was almost the same as Wu Xingguang's score, and he was teased by You Shen at that time: "You are a child who has done a good deed for fear that others will not know, so you are waiting for adults to praise you for a few words, if no one praises you, you will most likely be psychologically unbalanced, uncomfortable, and unsatisfied......

However, You Shen didn't want to say this to the general manager, so he had to look at this problem from a different angle: "It's best not to write it, so that no one will take us seriously, and it just gives us a chance." He paused, watching everyone's eyes fall on him, he said slowly, "I still have that opinion, we have to rely on others to do two things when they are not familiar with us, one is to grab points," no one will have any objection to this, such as Wuhan Yafeng midstream team can not expect the championship trophy, although the pressure of relegation is not great, but one more point is a guarantee, especially in the second half of the league, this abundant points is capital, can bring many unexpected benefits to the team and individuals. "The second is to step up the transformation of the team and enrich the team's offensive lines and scoring methods as soon as possible."

Everyone had a bitter face. Getting rid of the reliance on wide attacks and diversifying the attacking routine has been something that You Shen has insisted on since taking office, but it is easier said than done. The coaches' thoughts are easy to unify, but the players have opinions, they don't dare to say it in front of You Shen, and they don't dare to go against him openly, but it is not once or twice to complain to Wu Xingguang in the club, or simply not participate in training because of injury. Thinking of these guys, Wu Xingguang gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't dare to do anything to them, because these were the main forces of Yafeng's foothold. Besides, he also has some sympathy for them - hey, who wants to watch their iron rice bowl being smashed? What's even more unfortunate is that the few players that the club purposefully recruited in the winter are not useful: the Brazilian forward who was found at a high price is a parallel import, and the training is covered with clouds and fog, and he can't see it, and he shows his original form as soon as he arrives on the field; A midfielder injured his thigh during winter training, and he is still in the injured list; There is also a Gao Jinsong, You Shen praised him as if he was about to become a flower, but he couldn't integrate into the team for a long time, and he made some low-level mistakes, he knew that he should have loaned 300,000 yuan to Shunyan, and he also saved the money given to him every month......

Thinking about it, Wu Xingguang's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "That kid Gao Jinsong performed well last night, and his two passes seemed to be similar and imaginative." At the end, he added, "It's just that the speed is a little slower, otherwise it ......."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be our turn to pick this bargain." The assistant coach smiled and helped him finish his sentence.

Everyone in the room was laughing, just now a few of them were still laughing about this matter, and the assistant coach also told a thing as a joke, and Zheng Changsheng, the head coach of the new era, sighed that if Gao Jinsong had a little short-distance sprint speed, he would show this old face and recommend this good seedling to the national team coaching staff.

Wu Xingguang was also happy. He has now completely forgotten about the newspaper matter, and said another thing with a smile: "Last night I had dinner with the fat boss of the provincial city of Mingyuan, he praised Franco and Zhou Jian, who scored the goal, and also called the names of many team members, and talked about it for a long time, and complained to me vigorously, saying that there are no provincial players in the Mingyuan team, and they can't get the recognition of the fans of the audience, and finally asked me if I am willing to transfer Gao Jinsong in the summer, and they are willing to pay 800,000 ......."

"What do you say?" You Shenhuan asked with interest. During the winter training, he and Mr. Mingyuan also casually talked about it, and the price he thought about at that time was 800,000.

"I said that if I didn't have 1.2 million, I would definitely not be able to take someone away, so he waited for a long time, and finally gave 1 million."

"You're decided?"

Wu Xingguang smacked his lips and rubbed the back of his head several times before saying: "I can't say whether it's decided or not, I promised him verbally anyway, but they don't pay cash, they use people to exchange us." "He said his name, and he was also a member of the team who had been in contact with Wuhan Yafeng for a long time in winter, but he finally went to the provincial capital Mingyuan." That player can't play in Mingyuan now, and there are still two or three people competing for positions with him, so he wants to change places; Mingyuan also agreed to release him, knowing that we liked him, so he came to find out our tone first. If you want, the two clubs will do this business in the summer - exchange Gao Jinsong, let's add more, 200,000 300,000, they don't care. ”

The assistant coach and the goalkeeper coach exchanged glances, and both agreed with each other. This business can be done, use a young player to exchange for a strong player who is in the year of playing, and add some money without losing money, not to mention that Gao Jinsong and other players are not in tune, rather than raising an idler, it is better to sell it at a good price. But they didn't express their opinions immediately, just looked at You Shen and waited for him to speak.

"Yes." You Shen nodded and said.

He agreed so happily that Wu Xingguang couldn't figure out his thoughts.

Everyone in the Yafeng Club knows the relationship between You Shen and Gao Jinsong. Gao Jinsong is a player repeatedly mentioned by You Shen when he came into contact with Wuhan Yafeng, and his praise and expectations are no less than a few disciples of his own time in Qinyuan, just took over the coach's coach, he couldn't wait to recruit Gao Jinsong into the team, and immediately assigned him to participate in the indoor football league across the country, even if Gao Jinsong obviously failed to meet Yafeng's requirements, You Shen still insisted on giving him the opportunity to play. Many people are talking about this matter behind their backs, and even Wu Xingguang has some opinions. But no matter how much they discussed, there was one thing that no one could deny, and You Shen had nothing to say about his disciple.

Wu Xingguang thought about it first, and asked tentatively: "Director You, do you also think this thing is feasible?" ”

You Shen nodded affirmatively. Gao Jinsong is the first player he named and introduced Wuhan Yafeng, which is true, until now he thinks Gao Jinsong is a good player. But Gao Jinsong couldn't get into the state for a long time and couldn't adapt to the team, that was Gao Jinsong's own problem. Adapting to the environment and being part of the team is also one of the necessary qualities of a professional player. Of course, You Shen also admitted that a large part of Gao Jinsong's poor performance now is due to Yafeng's existing tactical system, and players like Gao Jinsong are not suitable for defensive counterattacks - what allows him to exert his strength is control and offense, let him command and control the whole team, and others revolve around him. But this is not possible, with his qualifications and performances, he is still a long way from the heart of the team. It takes time. However, he was short of time, and the brutal league decided that he must first use a series of victories to ensure the interests of the club, and at the same time use these victories to solidify his position in the club, and then gradually complete the transformation of the team. In this process, someone has to make sacrifices, there will always be people who are hurt, since Gao Jinsong can't integrate into the team, then it's normal for him to be eliminated. Yes, this kind of sacrifice and injury is very cruel, but this is something that cannot be helped, and it is also the inevitable law of the development of things, Gao Jinsong should know what kind of road he embarked on the day he started to play, this road is always full of thorns and bumps, hardships and tribulations are the signposts that can be seen everywhere on this road, and he should have been prepared for this a long time ago.

"Fortunately, it's still early in the summer, and we still have a chance to observe a few more times," You Shen seemed to say to himself, "I don't believe that the provincial city of Mingyuan has too much money to use, and he is willing to spend more than a million to find such a young player." Do they really want to have a player from their province so much? Except for Gao Jinsong, no one else in this province can play football? ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and then everyone expressed their opinions, saying that Gao Jinsong should be given more opportunities to play, this little guy is just not suitable for the A League for a while, maybe after playing a few more games, the state or something will be there. Everyone understood the meaning of You Shen's words, he had already given up his disciple, and just wanted Gao Jinsong to come off the bench a few more times and earn a few more money when it had nothing to do with the overall situation of the game, which was not too much to ask. Who would have a hard time with a manager over such a trivial matter?

Wu Xingguang happily dispersed the smoke. Throwing out a burden and getting back a main player, not only did not offend his head coach, but also used these things to comfort those restless players, and it was undoubtedly a good deal. While being happy, while enjoying the refreshing fragrance of the cigarette rolls, he came up with a self-righteous idea: "Just let Gao Jinsong play the main force in the next round, I think this kid can do it, last night's few hits were enough!" ”

How many clicks? The corners of You Shen's mouth twitched. The provincial television station that broadcast the game was a layman, and instead of pointing the camera at the critical moment, it gave the Yugoslav head coach ...... Shortly before Yafeng scored the first goal, Gao Jinsong had a diagonal dribbling breakthrough in the front court, and the interception and outflanking of the three Mingyuan players failed to stop him, but unfortunately the distance was far away and he couldn't see the process clearly, he asked Wei Honglin after the game, Wei Honglin grinned, he was only concerned about outflanking and answering, where did he pay attention to these details? He also vigorously advertised for Gao Jinsong. Gao Jinsong's pass before the second goal is obvious to all, there are long and close shots on TV, and the offensive route is so clear that it can be drawn on the tactical drawing board with a pen, one pass and one shot, simple and clear, this is just "enough to see"? There is also the pass before the final whistle, a long pass of more than 20 meters, which hits the most uncomfortable point between the two central defenders in Mingyuan, if it weren't for the referee's quick eyes, the humility and hesitation of the two central defenders at that moment may not make them even find a place to cry after the game, is this just "enough to see"?

Without hesitation, he rejected Wu Xingguang's overjoyed kindness: "He will be a substitute in the next game." "Damn the TV camera, if they captured those few scenes, then he doesn't have to avoid any suspicion of teacher-student friendship now, he can put Gao Jinsong in the starting position in a bright and bright way, and logically continue to transform in a certain position on the ball pair.

Wu Xingguang said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate." As for what was not suitable, he couldn't tell. His mood is a little complicated now, not only regret for his over-the-top words, but also regret for You Shen's master and apprentice, and more respect for You Shen's handling of things - people who are fair can always get more respect from others.

You Shen was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay, I'll talk to him later." ”

Wu Xingguang's lips squirmed twice, and finally closed tightly. He knew that You Shen wanted to talk about not only Gao Jinsong's continued sitting on the bench in the next round of the league, but also the fact that he would be exchanged to the provincial capital Mingyuan in the summer. He was a little grateful to You Shen. The news of the exchange must not be kept secret, it will spread all over the club within two or three days, and it is difficult for Gao Jinsong, who has just contributed to the team, to say what the reaction will be, and let You Shen say it, which is more appropriate than his own explanation.
