"There's no problem with the timing equipment in our base, right?" Yue Wenjun, who was standing next to the performance display, asked the base staff not far away in disbelief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Director Yue, don't worry. Our timing equipment has just been calibrated and there are no issues with accuracy. The staff affirmed.

"44.06 seconds? My God! That's not true, is it? Even though he was over fifty years old, after seeing Feng Quan's test results, El-Karis still held his head in his hands with a slightly exaggerated expression, and exclaimed with surprise on his face.

Even though the U.S. is able to achieve this result, there are many athletes who even break under 44 seconds. But the fact that Feng Quan improved his 400m time by nearly 0.5 seconds in just a few months, and at most two afternoons of systematic training every week, really shocked the old American man.

Not only that, but El Karis also clearly remembers that it has only been about a week since Feng Quan last underwent his own test. In this short period of time, this kid did not carry out special training in the 400m event, not only did his performance not regress, but also improved from a manual time of 44.15 seconds to an electronic timing time of 44.06 seconds......

"Could it be...... This kid secretly practiced on his own? Unable to comprehend how Feng Quan's time could improve by about 0.2 seconds, El Karis made such a guess in his mind.

In fact, the "improvement" of the performance is not the result of Feng Quan's "secret practice", but just the fact that Feng Quan used the skill of [instant acceleration] when he entered the last 40 meters in today's test. If he used the three skills of [Instant Acceleration], [Perpetual Heart] and [Viagra] together, as he did in the 100-meter trapeze final at the Olympics last year, it would not be impossible to break the 44-second mark.

The reason why Feng Quan did not stack the three major skills in the test was entirely due to the fact that if the skills were stacked, the cooldown time of all the used skills would be extended to 24 hours.

Although with his current strength, as long as he conducts one to two months of systematic training before the World Championships in Moscow, even without using any skills, Feng Quan has a great chance of winning the men's 100m event.

However, the 400m project is completely different. If you can't break under 43.70 seconds, not only will you have no hope of winning the championship, but it will be difficult to achieve your goal of finishing in the top six.

If you have to compete in two 400m races on the same day, if you use your skills before the finals, you will inevitably have the embarrassing situation of not being able to use your skills in the finals. As a result, with Fengquan's current strength in the 400-meter event, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve a time of less than 44.20 seconds.

Therefore, considering the problem of the "skill cooldown" time, Feng Quan realized that it was necessary to increase the number of skills he had. If you want to buy more skills that suit you in the system store, then getting more skill points is what Feng Quan must do.

In order to get more skill points, in addition to fully systematically set tasks, participating in various competitions and winning the championship is the easiest and most effective means.

So, after the morning training, after discussing with Yue Wenjun and El Karis, Feng Quan proposed to the Provincial Sports Bureau: I hope that I can participate in as many competitions as possible before the World Championships in Moscow, so as to get back to the feeling of the game as soon as possible.

Without any hesitation, under the supervision of Deputy Director Xu in charge of training of the Provincial Sports Bureau, Feng Quan's "competition request" was answered positively in the afternoon of the same day.

Moreover, because before the start of the World Championships in August, among the domestic events, Fengquan only had the National Track and Field Championships to participate.

Therefore, in order to allow Feng Quan to get more opportunities to compete, Deputy Director Xu also suggested that he participate in the IAAF's Diamond League. As for the registration for the competition, as well as the travel expenses between Feng Quan and the coach, the Provincial Sports Bureau and the Athletics Management Center will contact the Provincial Sports Bureau, so that Feng Quan can devote all his energy to training and competition......

――――――

In order to cope with the three warm-up matches in ten days from June 6th to June 15th, after the 12th round of the Chinese Super League on May 26, the head coach of the national team, Camacho, submitted a national team training squad composed of 26 players to the Chinese Football Association.

Yang Hongchen, vice chairman of the Football Association in charge of the national team, began to look at it carefully after receiving the national team training list handed over by Secretary Tang Yongbo.

Goalkeepers: Zheng Cheng, Wang Dalei, Deng Xiaofeng; Defenders: Zheng Xiaozheng, Wang Peng, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng...... Forwards: Yang Xu, Gao Lin, Yu Dabao.

carefully looked at each name on the list, but until the end, Yang Hongchen couldn't see the name he wanted to see the most in this list.

"Wondering" if his eyes had missed that name, Yang Hongchen rubbed his eyes and looked at the training list in his hand again from beginning to end.

This time, when he was sure that his eyes hadn't missed any of the names, his brow furrowed.

"Xiaotang, you go and confirm with Fu Bo (the Chinese assistant coach of the national team) that this list is all the players who participated in this training camp? There are no missing players. Yang Hongchen said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Tang Yongbo answered and left Yang Hongchen's office.

About seven or eight minutes later, after Tang Yongbo knocked on the door, he returned to Yang Hongchen's office again.

"Chairman Yang, I have confirmed with Director Fu. There are no players left out of the list just handed to you. But ......"

Seeing that Tang Yongbo was a little speechless, Yang Hongchen said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't talk about it." ”

"Director Fu just said that before reporting this list, he had persuaded Camacho with Director Ou, hoping that he would add Feng Quan's name to the training list. However, those old Spanish men refused to guide Fu and Ou on the grounds that Feng Quan's defensive ability was too poor and he was not familiar with his technical characteristics. ”

"It's just a fart!" was so excited that Yang Hongchen broke out in foul language regardless of his identity. "Not familiar with the technical characteristics of Fengquan? So why do you say that people's defensive ability is too poor? Besides, Feng Quan's position is a winger, not a midfield playmaker. What if the coaching staff is not familiar with his technical characteristics, just put him on the pitch? Even the defenders of the Bundesliga can't do anything about him. Who can withstand it in Asia? ”

"Poor defensiveness? How did that Hamburg team get the third place in the Bundesliga? With Fengquan's offensive deterrence, which team dares to press heavily in the game? ”

Although he is not a football major, Yang Hongchen, who graduated from the Institute of Physical Education and is also a senior fan, still has a certain understanding of the development law of modern football.

Moreover, since he was transferred to work in the Football Association for more than three years, his close contact with many insiders has given Yang Hongchen a deeper understanding of football.

After a pause, soothing the anger in his heart, Yang Hongchen frowned and said to Tang Yongbo: "You go and contact Xiao Cao (national team leader), as well as Coach Fu and Coach Ou." Let them come to my office as soon as possible. ”

After Tang Yongbo left his office, Yang Hongchen immediately grabbed the phone on his desk and dialed the number of his immediate boss.

When Yang Hongchen got some kind of "hint" from the "leader", he hung up the phone with satisfaction, and then leaned back on his comfortable leather seat.

"Humph! Since you are disobedient, then we will 'help' you......"

――――――

The Office of the Director of the Field Management Center.

"Director, just now the Football Association called and said that I hope Feng Quan can participate in the training camp of the national football team after the National Track and Field Championships. Prepare for the three national team friendlies in June. The staff of the field management center reported to Director Du, the "number one".

"yes, I see. You go and tell the other directors to come to the conference room and wait for me. After our leadership team discusses it, we will reply to the Football Association. Director Du said calmly.

Although Feng Quan, who is now a "cross-border" athlete, both the athletics management center and the football school have the right to recruit him. But for the Football Association, which has dismal results and a "bad reputation", it is not particularly tough.

Therefore, before recruiting Fengquan to participate in the national team warm-up match, the Football Association still chose to seek the opinions of the field management center in advance.

――――――

Not long after, several deputy directors of the field management center who received the notice, plus five people, including the number one director, Director Du, all gathered in the conference room of the field management center.

"Just now, the Football Association called, hoping that Feng Quan would be able to play three warm-up matches on behalf of the national football team after participating in the National Track and Field Championships. How do you think we should respond to them? Director Du said with a slight sense of inquiry in his tone.

As soon as Director Du's words fell, the "old stubborn" Director Wang preemptively said: "I personally believe that the Football Association's request should be directly rejected." After all, so far, Feng Quan, this kid has not even been able to reach the A standard of the World Championships, and now the time for the World Championships in Moscow in August is very short. Moreover, this kid may not have had systematic track and field training for a long time, and if he doesn't use this precious time to recover as soon as possible, what kind of football will he play? What's more, there are no important games in Chinese football this year. ”

Hearing this, Director Feng, who has always had a bad relationship with Director Wang, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head and said, "I think it's a bit inappropriate to directly refuse the request of the Football Association." Instead, you should first ask Feng Quan's own opinion, and then reply to the Football Association. ”

After listening to Director Feng's words, Director Du, who was sitting at the head of the conference room, nodded slightly.

However, before Director Du could speak, Director Wang, who was refuted, said angrily: "That kid Fengquan is an athlete registered in our athletics management center. Why does the Football Association recruit our athletes to play for them? If he is injured during a race and affects the World Championships in Moscow in August, who bears the blame? ”

"Yes, Feng Quan is indeed a registered athlete at our athletics management center, but let's not forget that he is also a footballer who plays in the European league. Therefore, it is reasonable for the Football Association to recruit Chinese players to participate in the national team competition. What's more, they also let Fengquan report to the national team after participating in the track and field championships. ”

After a pause, Director Feng looked directly at Director Wang with sharp eyes and said, "Moreover, the most important thing is Feng Quan's current special, cross-border athlete identity. If this kid doesn't mix well in Europe and it's hard to continue to gain a foothold there, even if we strongly refuse the Football Association's request. Even if that kid is upset by this, we can warn him by banning him. ”

But now, Feng Quan, this kid not only played well in the Bundesliga, but also transferred to the Spanish powerhouse Atletico Madrid for a high price of 23 million euros a few days ago. In this way, if we refuse the request of the Football Association, and Feng Quan wants to play for the national team, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not tear his face with us afterwards! ”

"Could it be that we, as the management department, still need to 'compromise' with an athlete?" Director Wang said with some disdain.

"Alas! Lao Wang, if it is another athlete, of course we have a way to clean him up. Director Feng spread his hands helplessly and said: "But the problem is, Feng Quan is not only a double champion in the London Olympics, but also a world record holder in the men's 100 meters." Even if we don't consider his current status as a footballer, it is difficult for us to really ban him with the aura of a world record holder on him. ”

"Why not? As the governing body of track and field athletes, we have the right to punish him. Director Wang glanced at Director Feng and said.

Hearing this, Director Feng couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's not as good as it was back then." Today's media can't wait for us to make some big news. Imagine that if we ban Feng Quan, not to mention how he will react, the people in China alone, as well as the vast number of traditional and online media, will exert strong pressure on us. You must know that even Liu Xiang back then, at the peak of his influence, was not as good as today's Fengquan......"

"I think what Lao Feng said makes sense." Wang Dewei, another deputy director of the Athletics Management Center, said in a serious tone: "Although we are nominally the superior management body of Fengquan, if we threaten him with a ban now, it no longer makes any practical sense. After all, they have already become world-class stars with their excellent performance in the Bundesliga last season. If he breaks with us and announces his retirement from athletics and devotes himself to football, we will only suffer in the end. ”

After a pause, Wang Dewei turned his head to look at Director Wang, who was sitting opposite him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, but in terms of commercial sponsorship, Feng Quan, this kid can help our field management center generate more than 10 million euros in income......

"But ......" Director Wang just wanted to continue to quibble, but was interrupted by the "number one" Director Du raising his hand.

"Okay, let's do what Director Feng wants."

After a pause, Director Du turned his head and said to the secretary standing beside him: "You immediately call that kid Fengquan, tell him what the Football Association means, and listen to his own meaning......"
