Chapter 117: Protecting the Short

August 30 is the last day of the World Athletics Championships, and the men's 4x400m relay is the final battle, which has attracted much attention. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xiao Ji's 3 teammates really tried their best, but there was a gap in strength, Xiao Ji was the last to receive the baton, and the person closest to him was more than 10 meters ahead of him.

Xiao Ji, who was in a hurry to catch up, did not use the 400-meter running style this time, he ran fast from the beginning, and quickly shortened the gap with the runners in front of him.

He really worked hard this time, and at the last moment, he used the skill "Second Explosion" he had just obtained, from the last crazy 4 people, but it ended here, he didn't even get a medal, and he took a small four.

This is also the only one of the six events that Xiao Ji participated in that did not stand on the podium.

His first World Championships ended like this, first winning 3 golds, then 2 silvers, and finally nothing, a bit embarrassing to start high and go low.

This is Xiao Ji's own feeling, others don't think so, the results of 3 golds and 2 silvers are already very rebellious, well-deserved personal best, and the results of many countries are not as good as him.

Xiao Ji's relay teammates felt very guilty about this, thinking that they had dragged Xiao Ji down, and in the post-race interview, a track and field reporter added fuel to the fire, almost bluntly asking the three of them why they ran so slowly, and the youngest one was almost about to cry.

Xiao Ji suddenly stood in front of them at this time, praised their performance, and said, "They ran great. They'll improve as well, and we're not going to go home empty-handed at next year's Rio Olympics, that's all, goodbye. ”

After saying that, he left with his teammates, leaving the reporter at a loss.

At this moment, the reporter felt very aggrieved, obviously I have been praising you, and losing them is also to highlight your strength even more, why did you suddenly get angry and end the interview.

The reporter deserves to be unlucky, not being able to get the medal itself made Xiao Ji's mood not very good, and then the side effects of the skill began to attack, and the exhaustion that erupted was indescribable, he felt that he couldn't stand anymore, and he just wanted to go back to rest quickly, but the eighth woman was still chirping and talking a bunch of nonsense, and he was tired of hearing this level of sycophancy.

In the end, the words accusing the other team members completely detonated Xiao Ji, and he was rarely angry in front of the public.

Xiao Ji sees the efforts of his teammates, and sometimes he wants to be better than his teammates, but he has never complained about his teammates.

"I didn't say anything to them myself, so why should you, an outsider, accuse them of denying their efforts like that? If you have the ability, you can go up, or find someone stronger than them. ”

Speaking of the departing Xiao Ji and the other four, Chen Wen was greatly moved by his actions, no one would not like this feeling of having someone to protect his shortcomings, and he was more determined to train harder in the following time, and strive to give Xiao Ji enough help in next year's Olympic Games, and no longer let him be so weak.

Just when Chen Wen was thinking about his thoughts, a hand suddenly put on his shoulder, and he turned his head in surprise to see that the owner of that hand was Xiao Ji, who looked very weak.

"Give me a hand." Xiao Ji barely smiled.

The other three were shocked, and the lessons of Van Niekerk a few days ago were still in front of them, and they did not dare to slack off and immediately went to the team doctor.

After the diagnosis, there was nothing serious, but extreme fatigue and detachment, and everyone was relieved.

Xiao Ji didn't go to the hospital later, but after lying in bed for a whole day, he experienced the power of this side effect.

This unexpected situation also caused Xiao Ji to postpone his return to London, and he had already said hello to Wenger and returned on the day of the match.

He didn't expect this pause to be delayed for a long time.

The next day, he received a call from the Football Association, inviting him to join the national football team to prepare for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers later.

God knows how shocked Xiao Ji was at the time, "The elm heads of the Football Association have opened their heads?" ”

You must know that his relationship with the Football Association has never been good, he is ready to wait for a few years, and the Football Association will invite him when it can't hold on.

Although he is very disgusted with the Football Association, Xiao Ji also has a heart to serve the country, and he also wants to wear the national team's jersey to go out, so he simply agreed.

At this time, he did not expect what kind of situation he would encounter.

First called Wenger, embarrassed to say that he had been called up by the national team and would not be able to return for a while.

The old man still took care of Xiao Ji as always, and did not say anything negative, but congratulated Xiao Ji on entering the national team and let him perform well, it is now an international break, and the club's recent situation is okay, so he doesn't have to worry.

"It's the luck of my life to meet a professor." Xiao Ji was very emotional, and then packed his luggage and went to the training base of the national team.

The first day there made Xiao Ji feel extremely bad, first of all, there was no one to greet him at all, his teammates seemed to deliberately alienate him, the head coach Perrin met once, and the Frenchman said a few words casually with his arrogant nostrils and left.

This shouldn't be, Xiao Ji was very puzzled by such a situation, he didn't offend them for the first time.

It stands to reason that everyone should be very welcome to a strong god teammate like him, and it is understandable that the guys in the Football Association do not know his true strength, after all, they are all laymen, and these professionals who are engaged in football always understand, especially the head coach.

Xiao Ji guessed half right, the previous situation was indeed like this, when he was just emerging Perrin wanted to accept him into the national team, a native European like him knows better how good Xiao Ji's performance in the Premier League is, that is the existence of one person who can raise the level of a team to a notch, but has been dragged by the people of the Football Association.

And this time, when Peilan received the news of Xiao Ji's joining the team, he was also called by the Football Association to talk about it, and then he understood.

In this national team, the biggest power is never him, the head coach, let alone any player, but the officials of the Football Association.

Perrin came to coach the national football team for a very simple purpose, it was for money, and the predecessors who came here to coach had already told them a bloody lesson for these latecomers, and this place is a pit.

Pei Lan only entered the pit for the sake of money, and he was ready to sacrifice a certain reputation.

During his time coaching here, he understood a truth, handling the relationship with the Football Association is the most important, leading the team is secondary, good results are the best, bad ones don't matter, get liquidated damages and leave, don't lose.

And if the relationship with the Football Association is bad, no matter how good your results are, it's useless to change it if you want to, and it will drag your salary, it's a big deal to go to a lawsuit, disgusting you.
