Chapter 49: Forming a team

Less than one hour before the end of the 100-meter final, Xiao Ji appeared at the Capital International Airport, and he had to fly back to the UK overnight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to participate in such a competition, Xiao Ji traveled back and forth across 8 time zones in just 3 days, which was really hard.

When he was about to board the plane, Xiao Ji received a phone call, it was Yuan Guoqiang, the head coach of the national team sprint team, who called him and invited him to join the national team.

It's really fast, much better than the people in the Football Association.

Xiao Ji said that he wanted to join, but he was also a football player, and he did not climb up step by step from the city team and the provincial team.

In a simple sentence, Xiao Ji wants to fly solo.

Solo flying is not uncommon abroad, and various associations in many countries allow athletes to fly solo, but it is different at home.

Among the popular sports, a few sports such as tennis and golf are currently allowed, and athletes in other sports must obey the arrangements of the competent authorities.

There is no precedent for solo flight in track and field events, and Director Yuan said that he understands Xiao Ji's thoughts, and he can make the decision about training, but the right to participate in the competition and the right to contract with the superior must be asked for instructions.

After a 10-hour flight, Xiao Ji finally arrived in the UK.

Xiao Ji can only rest for a few hours, and the Champions League group stage between Arsenal and Besitacques is about to begin.

Xiao Ji slept on the plane for a long time, at this time he was not sleepy, and it was naturally even more impossible to be hungry, he could eat at any time, but the time difference of 8 hours was not so easy to adjust, and there was a kind of exhaustion that started from the depths of his body.

Arsene Wenger has led the team to fly all over the world, and he is very aware of the fatigue caused by this jet lag, he originally did not plan to put Xiao Ji in the squad for this game, let him go to rest, but Xiao Ji is very stubborn and insists on playing.

Wenger couldn't resist it, so he put Xiao Ji on the bench, Besitac's biggest advantage is their terrifying home atmosphere, and without this, it is not necessary to be afraid, and there should be no need to send Xiao Ji on the field.

The situation on the pitch was exactly the same when the game started, with Besitacques not causing Arsenal a huge problem like last time, being kicked to the point where they were unable to fight back, for example, being 2-0 down.

Arsenal won the game, and Xiao Ji did not play.

Arsenal eventually won 2-0, taking all three points and beating Besitacques home and away.

In a European-style villa on the outskirts of London, next to the clear swimming pool, Xiao Ji and his agent Lou Jie were basking in the sun in swimming trunks.

This is not Xiao Ji's property, he still lives in the player's dormitory, but Lou Jie's.

Xiao Ji has a total asset of several million euros so far, and it is quite reluctant to buy such a villa, Lou Jie, as his agent, has a commission of more than 10%, that is, hundreds of thousands of euros, and it stands to reason that he can't afford to buy such a villa.

However, there is a local tyrant father, Lou Jie's father is also very knowledgeable about football, and he knows very well that Xiao Ji's future potential is unlimited, and he is quite happy to see his son sign such a potential player, and with a stroke of the pen, he helped his son buy a villa.

This made Xiao Ji quite angry, as a player, he didn't have his own agent to have money.

Lou Jie wore sunglasses, looked up at the sky, and said to Xiao Ji with a smile: "Why do you training maniac have time to come to me today and don't go to training?" ”

Xiao Ji also replied to Lou Jie in the same posture: "I have finished training in advance today, and I will ask you to discuss the matter of my track and field." ”

Lou Jie immediately sat up and shouted: "Hey, hey, our contract makes it clear in black and white that I am only responsible for your football affairs, and I am not obliged to help you take care of track and field matters, and I don't understand it." ”

Xiao Ji replied calmly: "Haha, don't be so excited, you don't want to care, I don't plan to make you responsible, I just discussed it with you." ”

Xiao Ji then told Lou Jie about his return to China and the invitation to the national team.

Lou Jie and Xiao Ji have been cooperating for almost a year, and the two have developed from unknown origins to the present, and their relationship is very deep, and they get along a lot, and Lou Jie knows Xiao Ji's character very well.

Xiao Ji is very willing to listen to other people's suggestions, but he has always made his own decisions, and once he has made a decision, the eight cows can't pull it back.

Since Xiao Ji said so now, most of them had his own plans, Lou Jie pushed the boat down the river, and asked very cooperatively: "Then what are your plans now?" ”

Xiao Ji also sat up and said very seriously: "I want to form my own team." ”

Lou Jie: "Similar to Yao Ming's team and Li Na's team? ”

Xiao Ji: "Well, maybe even bigger than theirs." ”

Lou Jie pondered for a moment and said, "With your current achievements, you are indeed qualified to form a team." But I find that I can't see through you more and more, football at the beginning, sprinting now, you definitely want to be involved in other sports, how big is your heart? ”

Xiao Ji laughed and sighed: "Lou Jie, who knows me." He continued: "You know I've always loved tennis, and when I settle down in football, I'll get into tennis, and then I'll go on to develop other sports, and I'll talk about what it is." ”

Lou Jie didn't understand Xiao Ji's thoughts very well, and said anxiously: "Isn't it good to play football with peace of mind?" With your potential, I have no doubt that you can reach the heights of Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and even higher. ”

Xiao Ji shook his head and said in an unprecedented tone: "It's really good to surpass Ronaldo and Messi in football." But in football, he surpassed Ronaldo and Messi, led Usain Bolt in sprinting, and was comparable to Federer in tennis...... Wouldn't it be better? ”

This was the first time Xiao Ji showed his crazy ambition to others, and Lou Jie was completely shocked.

After a long while, Lou Jie regained his composure, took a deep breath, and said, "You are either a madman or a genius. If you can do that, you're a miracle. To be honest, I don't agree with you, but who called me your agent, I believe you. I'll help you connect with the people your team needs, and you'll have to come and see them when the time comes. ”

Xiao Ji: "Thank you! Brothers! You won't regret your decision today. ”

While Xiao Ji and Lou Jie were discussing the formation of a team, a meeting was also being held in a conference building in the capital thousands of miles away, and the protagonist was Xiao Ji.

At this meeting, the leaders of domestic track and field management are basically there, including the chairman and deputy director of the track and field management center, the chairman and honorary chairman of the track and field association, and the head coach of various track and field events.
