"Mr. Manuel."

"Mr. Reuben."

Fan Bizhuang stepped forward and nodded to the two coaches.

Then he turned his gaze to the side and nodded to the bearded old man with an expressionless face: "Hello, sir." ”

The bearded old man in front of him, Fan Bizhuang naturally knows, he has seen countless times on TV, Coach Bosque who replaced Aragonés as the head coach of the Spanish national team. However, the identity of the other party has nothing to do with him, and there is still a "grudge" between him and Aragonés and the Spanish national team, although he is not resentful, but he doesn't want to give him any good face.

That's fine, it's bland, it's good to pretend not to know.

Fan Bizhuang's indifferent attitude made Bosque, who was looking at him, very embarrassed, but Pellegrini and Mr. Ruben had a familiar expression, Fan Bizhuang was such a "dead face" on weekdays, they didn't think much about it, just that Fan Bizhuang really didn't recognize the identity of the old man in front of him.

Mr. Ruben looked at the somewhat embarrassed head of the bullfighting legion, held back a smile, and pretended to be serious and "scolded" Fan Bizhuang: "Fan, please pay attention to your attitude, this is not the attitude that an old man should have. ”

"Oh."

Fan Bizhuang nodded, humbly accepting the criticism, but his face was still expressionless.

Mr. Ruben was very "helpless" and spread his hands at Bosque: "I'm sorry, Mr. Vincent, this kid has always been like this, and we have nothing to do with him." ”

Bosque waved his hand, signaling that he didn't care.

Pellegrini coughed twice again and interjected: "Fan, you probably don't know this old gentleman yet, do you?" He is Vincent. Bender. Coach Bosque, uh, is the current coach of the Spanish national team. This time, he has something to do with your promise. ”

Fan Bizhuang was stunned for a moment, he was a very smart person, he was originally guessing Bosque's intention, and Pellegrini's "reminder" at this time made him completely understand.

Promise? What promises? This is not much to say.

A professional player of a club and the head coach of a national team, there is no intersection between the two before, and the other party comes to him, there is only one possibility, and that is to invite him to the national team.

Fan Bizhuang has to admit that the head coach of a national team can personally come to the door to "lobby" for invitation, this treatment has been extremely sincere, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that without waiting for the other party to clarify his intentions in the future, he will nod and agree.

But Fan Bizhuang is obviously not an ordinary person, he is still angry about Aragonés's previous "abandonment", and he still has "resentment" against the Spanish national team, so he does not plan to "give in".

Fan Bizhuang nodded, signaling that he understood, then looked at Bosque and greeted him politely: "Hello, Coach Bosque." ”

“……”

Bosque had a feeling of crying and laughing, he didn't believe that Fan Bizhuang really didn't know himself, and he didn't believe that Fan Bizhuang couldn't guess his true intentions, but this kid was a "I just want to pretend to be crazy and stupid, what can you do with me" attitude, this kind of guy who doesn't eat oil and salt really makes him feel very tricky.

'He's an unusual player. It's not just about his talent in football, it's about other things. ”

Bosque suddenly remembered what his old friend Aragonés had said to him before he left office, and he now clearly felt that Fan Bizhuang was really a special person who was different from others, at least this "tsundere" temper made him speechless.

Pellegrini and Mr. Ruben have long known Fan Bizhuang's temperament very well, and they also secretly laughed when they saw this kid pretending to be crazy and stupid. However, neither of them said anything, this is Fan Bizhuang's own business, and they have no right to interfere.

Bosque looked at Fan Bizhuang, and Fan Bizhuang also looked at Bosque, the two of them stared at each other, and they didn't know how long it took for Bosque to finally lose.

"Talk?"

"Oh."

Fan Bizhuang responded lightly, turned around and left.

"Huh? Fan, where are you going? ”

Bosque was a little puzzled and did not understand the attitude of the other party.

"Isn't Coach Bosque going to talk? It's better to just stand here all the time, right? Let's go to the rest area over there. ”

Fan Bizhuang's answer made Bosque shake his head with a wry smile again, and he raised his heel helplessly.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Fan, I'm sure you know what I'm here for. Then I'll be blunt, on behalf of the Spanish national team, as the head coach of the team, I invite you to join the Matadors. ”

In the lounge area, after the two of them were seated, Bosque went straight to the point and made his intentions clear.

As the successor, Bosque is naturally clear about the "misunderstanding" between Fan Bizhuang and Aragonés and the national team, but in his opinion, this does not affect him to throw an olive branch to Fan Bizhuang, after all, there is no "contradiction" between the two of them.

He has great admiration for the Chinese teenager and believes that he will be the core figure of the Spanish national team for at least the next ten years. After all, last season's league assist king, best rookie, his performance is enough to prove how good he is. And this season, Van Bizhuang's performance is like a blowout, not only leading Villarreal to improve by leaps and bounds on all fronts, but also his personal top four in the league and the Champions League, such an excellent player, he can't ignore it anyway - not to mention that he already pays attention to Fan Bizhuang and admires it, and wants to bring it to the national team, even if he doesn't have such a mind, the entire Spanish fans probably won't agree.

No way, no matter what Fan Bizhuang's personality and temper are, with the talent and ability he showed on the football field, if the national team does not recruit him, then he will be criticized by countless fans.

He was already very good and in good shape, and with the strong recommendation of his old friend Aragonés, Bosque naturally sent him a call-up.

But what Bosque didn't expect was that Van Bizhuang simply refused, and he refused once, but twice. He made excuses twice, ignoring the national team's call-up twice, which made Bosque feel that it was not easy to bring Van Bizhuang under his command.

As a result, Bosque did not recruit Fan Bizhuang again in front of the public, he knew that with Fan Bizhuang's "misunderstanding" of Aragonés, even if he summoned him in the media, the other party would only ignore it.

Therefore, this time, taking the opportunity of a training camp in Valencia, Bosque secretly came to the small town, and he decided to have an interview with Fan Bizhuang to show him the sincerity of the national team.

Fan Bizhuang looked at him steadily, there was not the slightest surprise in his eyes, it seemed that Bosque's words had been expected by him. Of course, Fan Bizhuang did not face the nervousness and crampedness of the national team's big boss, he pondered for a while, and then asked: "You (Spain) have just won the European Cup, and you are at a peak in terms of personnel and competitive condition. Why are you extending an invitation to me when you are already excellent? ”

'No team would dislike a stronger squad and no manager would feel like they have too many good players at their disposal. Bosque smiled and shook his head and said, "In my opinion, you are a very good player, even though you are very young, I am very confident that as long as you keep your form and play like this, you will become the best player in the world and you will be the core of the national team in the future." ”

'You're good, we're good at our team, and to be able to climb the pinnacle of football glory together is a win-win for you and for our team.'

Bosque looked at Van Bizhuang and asked a rhetorical question: "I think a player like you should have greater ambitions, right?" But whether it is the Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer of the Year, if you want to win such the highest individual honor in world football, you must have the results of the national team as a backing. By joining the Matadors, you'll be able to fill in the gaps in national team honours, and the national team will benefit from it. ”

After thinking about it, Fan Bizhuang nodded: "What you said is very reasonable, and I also admit that this is indeed a very tempting invitation for me." But what I want to say is, why do I have to join the Spanish national team? Maybe I have another choice. ”

Bosque was stunned for a moment, and then an expression of Zhizhu appeared on his face: "Are you talking about the Chinese team?" Yes, although you have a Spanish passport, you are also an out-and-out Chinese. If China is a member of the European Union, I think you can indeed change your nationality and join the Chinese team. ”

"Unfortunately, China is not a member of the European Union. As far as I know, it's very difficult to get a Chinese passport, especially for a Chinese European like you. Of course, this is not an important point. I would say that the Chinese team doesn't seem to have any interest in you, they have never had the intention of calling you up. One more thing, IMHO, is that the level of football in China is really ......"

Bosque spread his hands: "If you join the Chinese team, I think it will be difficult for you to make any big achievements, their strength is not enough to support you to achieve outstanding results in international competitions, to put it mildly, they are not even qualified to participate in international competitions." Such a team will only become a drag on you. ”

Fan Bizhuang's eyes froze for a moment, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but in the end he could only sigh in his heart, as Bosque said, the Chinese team had no interest in him, and he was also a dou who couldn't be helped.

Even if he joins the Chinese team, it is estimated that he will only be able to achieve nothing.

Fan Bizhuang pondered again, looked up at Bosque, who was waiting for his answer, and replied, "I need time to think about it." ”

"No problem. You can call me at any time. Trust me, the doors of the national team are open to you at any time and we are waiting for you to join. ”

Bosque smiled confidently, he knew that Fan Bizhuang's heart had been loosened, and it only took an opportunity for him to take this young man with unlimited potential under his command.
