"Dragons? What are you doing here? Aren't you going to take a two-month break? ”

Tony McMallaman, a veteran goalkeeper at Ajax's training base, looked in surprise at Ronshit, who was supposed to rest in his hospital bed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The cohabitation life of two men is so boring!"

Ronshit glanced at Bergkamp, who was working as his driver, and the latter could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.

They went to the hospital yesterday for a check-up, and the plaster cast on their legs was also removed, perhaps because of their youth and strength, Long Shute's recovery speed was much faster than expected, and there was no big problem with walking around short distances, but if they wanted to return to normal training, they would have to recuperate for at least two weeks, and as for participating in the competition, the most optimistic estimate would be after late April.

Van Basten, who learned the news, was obviously relieved, his hair was obviously singular!

"Take a good rest and don't worry about the team's results," White Swan comforted his henchman, "When you recover from your injury, maybe you can compete with us for the Treble, hahaha." ”

Long Shute looked at the head coach speechlessly.

Do you really think you're a master tactician who combines theory with practice?

Do you really think that defeating Real Madrid means that you are invincible in the world?

However, he didn't say anything, the results of the Champions League quarterfinals are undoubtedly worthy of pride and pride for the team without strong reinforcements this season, at least the senior members of the club's board of directors looked at the analysis of the income of the Champions League matches provided by the financial director, and they all smiled and smiled, especially the two-legged battle with Real Madrid, which earned almost more than the entire group stage.

Although Bordeaux are the Ligue 1 champions, their squad is also nothing, and from the analysis of the system's data, it is slightly inferior to Ajax, as long as they play normally, Van Basten does have a good chance of beating them to reach the last four.

Of course, his teammates were very happy to see the arrival of Longshut, and Suarez, Blind, Vertonghen, Emmanuelsen, De Jong, Soleimani and others, who had a good relationship with him, had to shush and ask for warmth.

"Rest assured, until you come back, we will keep the momentum we have now, the league will continue to lead, the Champions League will be promoted, and the Dutch Cup will not be a problem!" Suarez, who is the captain and teacher, patted him on the shoulder, "Let's not talk about the Champions League, it's okay to win two trophies." ”

Long Shute also knew why he was so confident.

In the week of their own injury, Ajax won two more consecutive league games, beating PSV Eindhoven 2-1 at home and sweeping bottom Waalwijk 5-1 away, while their rival FC Twente was held to a 1-1 draw by PSV Eindhoven in the 28th round, and the gap between the two teams widened from two points to four points, and the pressure on Ajax to lead was suddenly eased a lot.

As for the Dutch Cup, Ajax, who have reached the semi-finals, certainly have the strength and confidence to win the bag, although they are too weak in Europe, but they are still one of the best in the country, whether it is the sworn rival Feyenoord or other opponents, it is difficult to stop them from continuing in this cup competition, not to mention that their semi-final opponent is only a second division team.

What's more, as the captain of the team and the top scorer, Suarez has gradually recovered after a two-month cold winter, scoring two goals in a row in the Champions League and two league games, and the number of goals in all competitions in a single season has exceeded 40 goals.

Ronshit sat on the sidelines, watching his team-mates make final preparations for the upcoming Dutch Cup semi-finals.

His phone rang suddenly.

Displayed on the screen is an unfamiliar fixed number, which appears to be a landline phone in Amsterdam......

He didn't buy a car, buy a house, buy stocks, or have a child and go to college to see a doctor for reimbursement here, so no one should sell his personal information, so he didn't think much about it, and directly connected the phone: "Hello? ”

"Hello, is it Long Shute?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.

Long Shute was slightly stunned.

Because the other party uses Chinese!

"It's me, who are you?"

"I'm ...... National Team Head Coach...... Gao Hongbo. The person on the other side of the phone seemed to be thinking about something, and he hesitated a little about the simplest thing like reporting his home, "Have you ever heard my name?" ”

“……”

This time, it was Long Shute who fell silent.

He fired at the domestic football association at that time, although it was to vent a bad breath not to vomit unpleasantly, but in fact, it was not without consideration.

His considerations are not complicated.

He didn't want to betray his country, but he didn't have the slightest interest in making a fortune for a bunch of politicians.

Especially when China is so far away, participating in the meaningless warm-up matches of the national team is bound to delay him a lot of time - just look at Suarez's tired dog last year, and it took the Uruguayan striker, who was already in hot form, to barely regain his scoring touch after making several trips to South America......

It would be great if these politicians could exclude themselves from the national team for a long time with the act of exposing their own family scandals......

You can criticize him for being hypocritical and selfish, and you can even smash a hat on his head that "wants to be both a watch and a torii".

But there's nothing hard to accept about this, aren't there a lot of young people in their twenties who often and impulsively shout "I love this country, but I don't love this government"?

I love my country and I love football, but I don't love the Football Association and the national team!

-

Although Long Shute still had a lot of concerns, half an hour later, he still met Gao Hongbo who came in a hurry at the training ground.

"Hello, Director Gao." He politely stretched out his hand to the other party, "By the way, I should congratulate you, you just won the East Asian semifinals and helped the national team defeat the South Korean team." ”

Although the South Korean team did not use its main force, you must know that the Chinese team has not defeated this formidable opponent for nearly 30 years......

Gao Hongbo smiled and shook him vigorously: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, sit down." Long Shute didn't show too much enthusiasm, because he didn't have much affection for this national team, and the system had already presented Gao Hongbo's resume and history a year later in front of him, knowing the history and the future, he would not grovel to a short-lived coach who would soon be kicked out by the Football Association, even if Gao Hongbo had just reached the peak of his personal prestige.

"The thank you I just said is not polite," Gao Hongbo sat down, "If it weren't for you, Team Leader Wei wouldn't have entered, and I wouldn't have been able to really control the team in the East Asian semifinals." ”

There are some things that he won't say if he is killed at home, but this is a real safe place, and the opponent has just shelled the Football Association, so he doesn't have too many concerns.

Long Shute was slightly surprised, but quickly returned to normal: "Maybe." ”

Although he doesn't know much, he also knows that even if there is no Leader Wei, there will be Leader Guo and Team Leader Li, as a local coach with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of yuan, where can he talk about "really controlling the team"?

Gao Hongbo didn't care about his thoughts: "About ten days ago, we just played a friendly match with Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal, you know? ”

Long Shute nodded slightly, this game was just a little before the second leg between them and Real Madrid, it was the official national team break, and the Chinese team with a full main lineup was easily defeated by Portugal, which also had a full main lineup, 2-0.

It's just that the main players like Ronaldo and Nani only played half the game......

"After that, I went to Spain alone, watched the Champions League match between Ajax and Real Madrid, and then came to the Netherlands......" Gao Hongbo explained briefly, "The main thing is to come and see your injury and talk to you again." ”

Long Shute handed him a bottle of training water in the team: "The conditions are simple, there is no way to make tea and entertain him." ”

"I've heard reports that you want to change your nationality?" Gao Hongbo took the water bottle and asked a straight question.

"Nonsense." Long Shute denied it.

"But many people have already had such a misunderstanding, especially after the incident last year, almost everyone decided that you are determined to break with the country......" Gao Hongbo almost told the truth.

Long Shute thought for a moment before he spoke: "Since Director Gao came to see me in person, I don't want you to feel hypocritical, what do we Northeast people say, there is nothing to hide." That's right, what Wei Guangjun did made me feel disgusted with the national team, and now I don't need the national team as a platform to increase my popularity, participating in the national team competition is just a waste of time for me, but if I want to change my nationality to be Dutch or British, French, I won't lick their butts, this taste is not good, I can't stand it. ”

This time, Gao Hongbo thought about it, his hands unconsciously rubbed the water bottle, and asked tentatively: "If, I mean if, we don't recruit you when you are in the middle of the competition, or arrange some competitions in Europe nearby, can you consider participating in the competition?" ”

Although he was born within the system, at this time, he did not put on a bureaucratic posture, saying one by one: "Serving the country is the glory of every Chinese", "Even if you make a bench for the national team every day, it is a supreme honor", "I would rather have a grass for the national team than a seedling in Ajax", "Why are you so selfish and selfish, you must have a sense of the overall situation and dedication", "I will read you two poems, and you will definitely be enlightened", "If you want to build a harmonious China, you will inevitably take some detours, Our Football Association will definitely get better and better, you will be a victim of the reform process, history and fans will definitely remember you, okay? ”

"......" Long Shute looked at the head coach with a small nose and small eyes, "Although you are the head coach, I am afraid that what you say does not count." ”

Gao Hongbo was speechless for a while.

He understood the meaning of this sentence better than anyone.

You're the manager, but you're ...... You're not the boss in the national team.

I am afraid that I can't count the people who can influence this national team more than him!

"If you can say yes, I can pat your chest with you here," he took a deep breath, "as long as I'm the head coach of the national team, this matter will always count!" ”

There was some pity in Long Shute's eyes.

Because he knows better than Gao Hongbo that he can only sit in this position of head coach for another year......

"Director Gao, thank you for coming to visit me, today I also make a statement, although I don't care about the comments of those boring media in China, but I care about my reputation, if I need to participate in the national team to prove that I am still a Chinese, I don't mind participating in one." Long Shute unscrewed a bottle of water for himself and swallowed the small half bottle with a grunt, "If you can communicate with me a month in advance before each call-up, and ensure that I can fight for more than 45 minutes, then I can promise you to participate in every call-up you initiate." I'm not putting on a condition, I'm just thinking about the costs and the price, because I'm selfish, and I'm not the kind of patriot who can give up his interests at the club for the sake of an innocuous friendly match for the national team, unless it's the World Cup. ”

Gao Hongbo has never met such a person who makes such nonsense in front of the head coach of the national team.

Although "the interests of the national team are above all else" has long ceased to exist in the minds of domestic players, and many main players of the national team are often criticized for "not working hard", "club games seem to be doping, and national team games seem to have taken sleeping pills", but at least in public and in front of national team leaders and coaches, absolutely no one will admit that "national team games are not as important as club games".

But now there is a person who says it so brazenly.

Times have changed.

Since it has changed, let's change.

Gao Hongbo unscrewed his water bottle and took a sip silently, and then he raised his somewhat swollen eyes: "This matter, I will deal with it as soon as possible after I go back, you wait for my call." ”

Although he came to visit Long Shute in his personal capacity, who knows if there was someone else's instructions behind it?

And such a decision is obviously not something that he can make as a head coach.

"I'd appreciate it even more if you could take jet lag into account before you call, I sleep heavily and I'm used to turning off my phone." Long Shute smiled and drank the water from the bottle.

If you can't make me a ballgamer, why should I go back?

Is it for the sake of a patriotic name, do you have to swallow your anger and treat them as grandchildren?

If you dare to recruit me, I will dare not go!

You let the Chinese Football Association go to FIFA to sue me!

Let FIFA order the Dutch Football Federation to suspend me!

Ay? Will FIFA President Sepp Blatter listen to the President of the Chinese Football Association?

Chinese Football Association ...... Is it the Football Association that hosts the Asian Cup at its own doorstep, and will be scored handball in the final by the sworn enemy Japan, and then the referee is silent, and he can only smile?

Is it the "non-governmental organization" that has the opportunity to run for the president of the AFC and become the head of Asian football, but because the candidate "reached the retirement age of civil servants", he was not supported by the domestic football association, had to give up the election, and allowed China to completely lose its right to speak in the AFC?

Saying this, I was relieved.

Long Ritian, your mind is very dangerous!

I woke up and had a stomach upset, and now the chrysanthemum hurts,

Is this a punishment for my Black Football Association?

The Football Association is really good, I will definitely praise it back in the future......
