Chapter 186: I Can't Look Down on This Kid
Ms. Horner commanded the Foreign Office vehicle and dropped Victoria in front of a community villa in Stockholm's West Side.
Victoria smiled and said goodbye to Kong Zhendong.
Before leaving, Victoria asked: "You only said that you came to Stockholm to play in the Table Tennis Super League, and you didn't say which team you are from?" ”
Kong Zhendong smiled: "I am the Stockholm Wolverine team, the wolverine is probably a species endemic to Northern Europe, I am not familiar with this animal." ”
Victoria laughed, "You're from the Wolverines?" Then you're done, Madeleine and I are fans of the Stockholm Skiers, I won't invite you to sit down, she's not as easy to talk as I am, I'll watch you play in the table tennis hall when I have time in the future! ”
Watching Victoria enter the door of a villa in the villa area, Kong Zhendong was completely confused.
He originally thought that Victoria's background was either rich or expensive, but although she lived in a villa, the grade of this villa area was only at the level of a middle-class family in Stockholm.
Ms. Holna didn't talk about Victoria either, but took Kong Zhendong to report to the Wolverine.
In the car, Kong Zhendong reviewed the introduction of the Swedish Table Tennis Super League and the situation of the Stockholm Wolverine.
The Swedish Table Tennis Super League consists of 16 teams with a home-and-away round-robin system, with 30 rounds played each season.
The season is generally played once a week, with an off-season around Christmas, and a minor tweaking of the league schedule if it gives way to the table tennis Euro Cup.
Two of the 16 Swedish table tennis teams are in Stockholm.
Just like the rivalry created by years of derby rivalry in football, the Wolverines and Skiers have been competing for the league title for many years, as well as for Stockholm fans.
The Wolverines won more than half of the championships in the Swedish Table Tennis Super League in the 80s, and the results were firmly ahead of the Skiers.
That's because the Wolverines had the Swedish champion at the time and the pioneer of the European fast arc, Bengersen.
In the nineties, as Bengerson got older and his form declined, the Wolverine's results declined year by year.
On the contrary, the Skiers are a team with Waldner as the main general. In the early 80s, when Waldner was still very young, the Wolverines dominated the team, and as Waldner grew into a world champion, the Skiers also won three consecutive Swedish table tennis championships.
Last year, the Wolverines only finished fifth in the Swedish Table Tennis Super League, and this year's Champions League will have to play qualifying matches against teams from other countries.
While Kong Zhendong was familiar with the information of the Wolverine team, in the office of the manager of the Wolverine team, two middle-aged people were also arguing fiercely about his information.
The bald tall middle-aged man sitting in the boss's chair is the team manager Schultz.
Across the desk, the short, but handsome-looking blonde man is the legendary European general, the king of the European fast arc, Bengeson.
Bengersen has retired from the Wolverines after a dip in form last year and injury problems.
This season, the Wolverines hired him back as head coach.
Bengerson shook Kong Zhendong's introduction at this time and said: "Schultz, is this the recruitment plan you promised me at the beginning of the season? Hell, thirteen-year-old Chinese doll? If I don't play this year, it will be more difficult for our team, and in the Champions League, we play on both fronts and it is important to bring in reinforcements. ”
Schultz was also a little distressed, and as soon as the management decided to make Bengersen head coach, he knew that there would be more and more conflicts with his philosophy.
Schultz touched his oily bald head and explained: "This is an exchange program arranged by the Ministry of Sports, not to mention that the other party is a talented teenager in China after all, and maybe he will grow into a main player." ”
Ben Gesen said angrily: "Hell, Chinese genius. The current Chinese table tennis is not ten years ago. Now even if the main team of their national team comes to Europe, they can't become the main player of the team, at most they are just ordinary combat power. Not to mention a thirteen-year-old kid. ”
Bengersen knocked on the table and said, "We don't have time to wait for him to grow, we need an instant fighter." I remember that there is also Zhang Lei among the Chinese players? I've seen him at international and he's outstanding, so why wasn't he joining the Wolverine? ”
Schultz spread his hands and said: "The quota and which team to enter are determined by their head coach Mi Xingbang, you have been in contact with him, a guy with a lot of ideas. Zhang Lei went to the Skiers and became teammates with Waldner. I heard that Mi Xingbang insisted on arranging Kong Zhendong to us because you were the head coach of the Wolverine team. ”
"Bastard!" Ben Gesen was completely furious: "Mi Xingbang is an old fox, when he was a player in the past, he killed many of our champions, and now he plays in the professional league, and he will continue to harm me?" The Skiers are already the strongest team, and if we strengthen Zhang Lei, how can we play? He gave the skiers a strong hand and asked us to make sure their little furry boy played time, which was a dream! ”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the manager's office, and the secretary said: "Mr. Schultz, China's Kong Zhendong has arrived, and Mrs. Linde has accompanied him to go through the registration procedures." ”
Schultz asked the secretary to lead Kong Zhendong and wait in the conference room.
Bengersen is not targeting Kong Zhendong, but he has too much to expect from his first season in charge, and he wants to transform himself from a successful player to a successful manager.
But in his debut season as head coach, he was about to be messed up by a thirteen-year-old Chinese teenager, and he was inevitably angry.
Schultz said in a gentle tone: "Bengerson, you just accept an academy player, you train him first, if there is really no potential, just arrange for him to play some inconsequential third games and meet the number of appearances." As a manager, you not only have to pay attention to his training and games, but you also need to organize his life. In his year, the growth of his ball skills depends on himself to some extent, but his life has not been arranged, and we can't explain it to Mi Xingbang. Kong Zhendong is Mi Xingbang's baby. ”
Ben Gesen said with some anger: "Hell, Mi Xingbang, next time I see him, I have to have a good fight with him." Let's arrange for this boy to stay at Sir Edward's house! Their family is very kind, and they are distant relatives of the royal family, which is quite suitable for China, a country of etiquette. ”
Schultz wondered: "But aren't the Edwards all Skiers fans? Is it appropriate for Zhendong to live there?"
Bengerson laughed: "Converting a family of Skiers fans into Wolverine fans is the first task of this kid." If you can't even do this, then this kid will not only be weak in football skills, but his interpersonal communication is also very worrying, so let's find some time to return to China and return to Mi Xingbang's arms! ”
