"Brother, I haven't seen each other for half a year, not to mention, when I played in Germany, I didn't think much, but when we really met, I really felt that there were too many things I wanted to say. Access: . ”

The footsteps of time slipped away gently, and after July came, Gao Shunyao's holiday could be regarded as officially begining. Back in China, Gao Shunyao has too many things to do, from advertising shooting to commercial contracts, there are a lot of affairs. But when he heard that Li Ze also returned to China to visit relatives in the summer, he immediately left everything else behind and came to see Li Ze.

The two friends haven't seen each other for half a year, Gao Shunyao plays in Germany, and Li Ze works as a coach in Japan. Both of them are busy with their lives, and this July, they finally got together again, and everything else had to be put aside.

And after meeting, the two friends also had endless topics to talk about, and for half a year, they had too many words.

"It's so boring if I can't see you again during this time back home. The national team game is really boring, have you watched those two games? Uzbekistan didn't play seriously at all, and it was not on the same level as when it was in the Asian Cup. I haven't played North Korea before, but I always feel that it's not like that. ”

Both of them are engaged in football, and when they talk, they talk about football games the most. And Gao Shunyao has just played two games recently, which is also the most mentioned by them.

In June, Gao Shunyao had just finished the final warm-up match of the Chinese team before the Asian preliminaries - for the 2014 World Cup. The Chinese team has also embarked on the journey.

According to the format of the World Preliminary Tournament, the 43 teams in Asia are ranked according to the results of the 2006 World Cup finals week and the qualifiers, and the five teams with the best results directly enter the group stage. Starting in September, their national team's world preliminaries will begin. The remaining teams will need to play two stages of competition to decide who will make it to the group stage.

China's ranking determines that China needs to start playing from the second round. In fact, this competition is not particularly difficult for China: South Korea. Japan, Australia, these are China's most feared opponents. This round of matches is not played, and the other opponents are not too difficult to deal with, therefore. During this time, China was relatively relaxed.

Of course, even so, China still had a friendly match. Their opponents, one is Uzbekistan, which has 'faced' in the Asian Cup, and the other is North Korea: these two teams, plus Japan, South Korea and Australia, are the only five teams in this tournament that do not have to play the first two rounds, so the Chinese pair also chose to play an early friendly match with them.

The two games were pretty good: on the one hand, because of the friendlies. Everyone played relatively easily, and people knew that this was the Chinese team's desire to find confidence for themselves, so they didn't press too hard. The game was played smoothly. The Chinese team won both games, which is quite good.

Their next opponent has already been decided: at the end of July, they will play two games against Laos.

Such an opponent is not difficult to play, for this result. The domestic media are quite satisfied. Just, these things. also made Gao Shunyao hold back his stomach, and wanted to talk to Li Ze.

"The opponent is a team like Laos, so you have to be so careful, and Coach Gao is really 'forced' to death by the domestic media. Are these people really sick or what's wrong? I knew that the World Preliminary Tournament was coming soon, so I had to ask for a change of coach. At the head of the competition, a foreigner has to 'spend' a short time to understand the situation in China, do they really feel that their brains are not sick? ”

Gao Shunyao complained the most not about the game, but about the annoyance of the media during this time: these days, the media is still the same as some time ago, and has been shouting noisily asking for the national football team to change the coach.

Their quarrel also affected Gao Shunyao: summer has arrived, because Schalke has changed coaches, and Hao Junmin has been returned to China. As China's only player in Europe, Gao Shunyao was also asked a lot of questions about whether he should change the coach. In the eyes of many people in China, since Gao Shunyao's level is the highest among domestic players, he should also hope to have a better coach to coach so that he can play better football.

It's just that Gao Shunyao has always been categorical about these problems: he has always disliked changing coaches, not to mention anything else, Coach Gao was able not to recruit him in the friendly match in March, and he was very 'excited'. And now, the team has begun to play in the Asian preliminaries, where is the reason to change the coach at such a time?

"Again, people who don't have to take responsibility for losing are always willing to gamble. Wouldn't it be great if the bet was won? ”

Regarding Gao Shunyao's complaints, Li Ze was still just smiling, he knew that Gao Shunyao's complaints might not really be that he didn't understand, he just wanted to find someone to talk to.

"Don't just talk about me, my little has been published in magazines a lot, and you also know how I've been doing this time. It's you, how are you doing? Is it a habit to stay at the Osaka cherry blossoms? Is the work going well? ”

When the two friends met, they always had endless things to say, and they talked about Gao Shunyao's recent gains, and they also talked about Li Ze. Just like Gao Shunyao went to Germany to play football and started a new life, Li Ze also became a coach at Osaka Sakura 'Flower' during these days, and Gao Shunyao was also quite concerned about his situation.

"I'm okay, it's not difficult. Even though I was in the professional team, I mainly worked with the U18s. The work on the main side is not under my control, and the professional team has relatively little contact with the breaking things, mainly to learn football training, which is not difficult. ”

Regarding his work, Li Ze said lightly, but Gao Shunyao was not very satisfied with it, "I didn't ask you this, let me ask you how you are doing over there - is it enough to make money?" How are you doing? ”

"There's no problem, maybe with a part-time job, the money will naturally be enough."

Li Ze didn't say it explicitly, but in his words, it was still revealed that being a coach in Japan was indeed not a high salary. Gao Shunyao frowned, he really wanted to help Li Ze, and he had mentioned it to Li Ze before, but Li Ze had always refused this: he said that he would be a coach for the rest of his life, longer than Gao Shunyao's career. He has to live such a long time, how can he accept help from others for a long time? It's okay to help friends in an emergency, but there is no reason to provide for a long time.

"Actually, if you go back to China, maybe you will be a little more comfortable."

Gao Shunyao thought for a while, but still opened his mouth. During this time, he returned to China, and he also heard a lot of things in China. It seems that the Chinese Super League has shown signs of revival in the past two years, with big bosses throwing money into it, and football has become different. If he speaks, he can also help Li Ze find a better job, which is better than having to work as an amateur now.

However, in this regard, Li Ze shook his head without waiting for him to finish, "At this age, don't think about comfort." Be comfortable now, but suffer a loss later. ”

Gao Shunyao sighed, he knew that Li Ze's idea was not just to 'mess' around.

"On the German side, I asked for you. Germany also has short-term coaching courses, and sometimes some of the top stars come there to teach. I've also inquired about training qualifications, and it doesn't seem to be as difficult as I thought, and the money is very small, so if you want to go, you can try it......"

Gao Shunyao remembered something and spoke again, but Li Ze stopped him with a smile, "Come on, I'm 'fine' here in Japan, I don't want to be so much for the time being." Besides, you have to work so hard to learn German, you should know that languages are difficult to learn. I went to Germany to take classes, and I couldn't even pass the language barrier. ”

Gao Shunyao forgot about this question, and after thinking about it, he also sighed, "Indeed...... But you can also try to learn, and when you do, go to Germany. Actually, it's not difficult, I lived in Germany for half a year, and I basically understood everything in the team, as long as it wasn't particularly complicated tactics. ”

"Oh?" Li Ze laughed, "In other words, you already understand all the words 'quick, pass, 'shoot'?" ”

"It's that simple!"

Gao Shunyao retorted, but he didn't say anything anymore. Although Li Ze's words were ridiculous, whether he was right or not, at least it was true that he did not fully grasp German.

However, Gao Shunyao doesn't pay much attention to this matter.

For a player, one of the most important purposes of mastering the language is to be able to 'communicate' well with his teammates. Only when there is no language barrier can we have friendship and tacit understanding with each other. For Gao Shunyao, a friendship has been established with his teammates because of relegation. Now that we have reached the other side of friendship, the role of language as a bridge is much smaller.

And he believes that by next season he will be able to speak German.

"Lately, the German language has been driving me crazy. Sirou thought I didn't learn German well every day at home, but she set rules for me, she didn't speak Chinese herself, she spoke German to me every day, and she didn't allow me to talk to you on the phone for a long time, and 'forced' me to speak German with others...... It's annoying. ”

Although he said that he was annoyed, Gao Shunyao's current expression did not look annoyed at all, in fact, when he said this, he also had a smile on his face.

Having a good 'girlfriend' is indeed worth laughing at.

"If I continue to train like this, I'll definitely be able to adapt to the German language at the beginning of next season, and that will definitely not be a problem anymore. Let's wait and see, next season I'm definitely going to play differently. Gao Shunyao reassured him again in front of Li Ze. It's just that, as if thinking of something, after saying this, he was also silent for a while, and then spoke again, "The only thing I'm worried about now is not actually me, but Wolfsburg's new season reinforcements." ”q
