Chapter 18: Sleepless Nights
After returning to the locker room and celebrating with his teammates, Yu Liang went directly to wash up, and after changing into clean clothes, he felt much refreshed, and then went directly to the parking lot, where they had to wait on the bus for the press conference to end before they could return to the hotel.
"Huh...... Hi there! Why are you here? ”
Looking at the female reporter who was in the stadium to relieve herself and translate at the entrance of the parking lot alone with a voice recorder, Yu Liang asked with some confusion. At this time, as a reporter, you should be present in the lobby of the press conference, not in the parking lot.
"Hello! I'm Zhang Wenxin, and I'm an intern reporter at CCTV! I'm here for you! ”
Seeing that it was Yu Liang, Zhang Wenxin's face immediately showed a sweet smile.
"Wait for me?" Yu Liang pointed to his nose, a little incredible. "Could it be that this girl has taken a fancy to me?" Thinking of this, Yu Liang felt that his heart was a little hot. Glancing at Zhang Wenxin, Yu Liang found that this reporter is quite beautiful, with big eyes, a very slender figure, and most importantly, a big buttocks, it is indeed good to be a girlfriend.
"Ahem......"
Zhang Wenxin frowned when she watched Yu Liang's obscene eyes sweep over her body, and then coughed.
"Uh...... Do you have anything to do with me? Why don't you go to the press conference at this time? ”
After listening to a cough, Yu Liang touched the back of his head, then looked around for a while, and only after relieving his embarrassment did he ask.
"Forget it, I don't have anything to do with you!" Zhang Wenxin, who was frowning, glanced at Yu Liang, turned around and left. "Ah, by the way, don't you hate fat people?"
"Sort of! What's wrong? ”
"Nothing!"
Zhang Wenxin shook her head and left the parking lot directly.
"Inexplicable!"
Seeing Zhang Wenxin disappear around the corner, Yu Liang touched the back of his head and muttered, then turned around and walked towards the team bus!
……
"What an uneducated guy! It's so damnning, if he's looking at me like that next time, I'll just gouge out his eyeballs! ”
On the way back to the press conference hall, Zhang Wenxin thought about Yu Liang's eyes, and she trembled with anger, eager to tear Yu Liang to pieces. But after thinking about it, Yu Liang's performance on the court, and when facing Spanish reporters, Zhang Wenxin felt that she couldn't understand this Yu Liang.
Back at the press conference, the interview continued.
"Why are you here now? This is a good opportunity for you to learn, learn more from these seniors, and see how they do it? It's good for your future development! ”
Listening to the lesson of her boss, Zhang Wenxin stuck out her tongue mischievously, and then sat on the side, listening carefully to other senior reporters' questions.
"Finally, we have a chance, you can ask a few questions later!"
"Oh, got it!"
Zhang Wenxin obediently agreed.
But what questions to ask?
Zhang Wenxin, who was thinking about it, really couldn't find any good questions.
"Okay, who has a problem next!"
As soon as the press officer finished asking, Zhang Wenxin felt that someone was tapping her on the shoulder.
"Huh?"
Zhang Wenxin looked at her boss a little confused, then suddenly remembered, and immediately raised her hand!
"Okay, journalist, what's your problem?"
Listening to the words of the press officer, Zhang Wenxin, who stood up, was about to ask a little question about the next game, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the obscene Yu Liang appeared in his mind.
"Hello, Mr. Crowchen! In both games, we saw Yu Liang's performance, which was very good. But as far as I know, Yu Liang's performance in the training camp of the national youth team before the World Youth Championships was not particularly good, so what characteristics did he have that appealed to you and brought him to the Netherlands? ”
Zhang Wenxin immediately closed her mouth when asked this, in fact, this question was asked by many reporters after the announcement of the national youth team's squad. But at that time, Yu Liang did not show something unique, so Crowchen's answer was also ambiguous. As a result, there are a lot of tongues, and the most common theory is that Crawford received money from others. In fact, Zhang Wenxin wanted to ask Crawford if he had collected money, but she couldn't.
"As you said, he did a great job and that's why I brought him to Holland! As for his characteristics, I think you should be able to clearly observe them through the game! ”
Zhang Wenxin smiled at Crowchen very professionally, and then sat in his seat, his mind full of Yu Liang's obscene eyes......
"Spain!"
"I think it's Argentina!"
It was already past one o'clock in the morning when I returned to the hotel, and during this time period, many people were prone to sleepiness. For the players in the national youth team, they are more prone to sleepiness, as more than two hours of intense play have consumed most of their energy. But on the contrary, the players of the national youth team are not only not sleepy, but also a little excited.
From the moment they got on the bus, they have been discussing the opponent for the next match, some people think that it is Spain, after all, the sixteen goals in the four games from the group stage to the present are real, while others support Argentina. Although Argentina lost their first game to the United States, the next few games got better and better. Especially with Messi's recovery, Argentina has gradually shown their dominance on the pitch.
"Ahem, alright! You don't need to care who your next opponent is. You just have to be yourself seriously! It's not too early, everyone rest early, give you half an hour, and I'll go to the ward when the time comes! ”
After looking at the time, team leader Yang Ming terminated the players' arguments, and then announced the disbandment.
……
"Hey, King Dong, have you slept?"
It was close to two o'clock in the morning after the ward rounds, and Yu Liang, who was lying on the bed, thought of today's goal, and some of the sleepiness that he had finally gathered immediately disappeared without a trace. Yu Liang, who couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, decided to chat with King Dong, but there was no response for a long time. With a sigh, Yu Liang could only give up and force himself to sleep.
"Nope!"
After a while, two words floated out of the room!
"Damn, you want to scare people to death! Why didn't you say it earlier if you didn't fall asleep! Chat? ”
"You know what! I'm fantasizing about my bright future! Do you think if I score a few goals in my next game, will I be able to go back to Manchester United? ”
King Dong's biggest hope is to be able to return to Manchester United quickly and where to start his illustrious career.
"Okay, you keep dreaming!"
Yu Liang, who had just gotten up, shook his head and immediately lay on the bed.
"Hey, don't mind! It's a big deal, let's go to Manchester United together! In fact, you don't know that in such a game, the stands are not only for fans, but also for scouts from many clubs. Although the World Youth Championship is not as good as the World Cup or the European Championship, he is indeed the top competition and stage for young players. Although European clubs have their own youth training systems, no matter which team it is, you need to find fresh blood from the outside world to supplement the team's shortcomings, as long as you perform well, there will definitely be many clubs coming to you! ”
King Dong's words made Yu Liang tempted!
In China, Yu Liang's current monthly salary is no more than 1,000 yuan, and he can barely manage his own life. But what about King Dong? Through this period of understanding, King Dong's salary at Manchester United for one week is enough for his family to work for several years. For Yu Liang, this is a huge attraction.
Participating in the World Youth Championships, Yu Liang's demands are not high, that is, he hopes to have a good performance and get a salary increase after returning to the club. But if you can join a European team now, will you go back?
Yu Liang would definitely say no. But the crucial question is, will he be able to get into the sights of European teams?
"Are you telling the truth?"
"At the level you're playing at the moment, there are definitely a lot of teams coming to you! Maybe the Manchester United staff who came to observe me today have included you in his daily observations? ”
"Watching your Manchester United staff?" Yu Liang leaned out half of his body and turned on the light at the head of the bed.
"As long as you can get into the eyes of the big clubs in Europe, wherever you play, the club will send professional people to watch you on the pitch at all times, because they need to get accurate information about you so they know when they need you to contribute to the club!"
"Oh! So, you're pretty good! Manchester United actually sent professional personnel to follow your performance! ”
Yu Liang looked at King Dong on the bed next door with some envy.
"That's ......" Looking at Yu Liang's somewhat envious gaze, King Dong smiled with satisfaction.
"Then what do you want to pay attention to when playing abroad? In case I accidentally get selected by a foreign club, I'm so prepared! At this time, Yu Liang couldn't help but fart.
"Alright! For the sake of being in a good mood, I'll talk to you! ”
Next, King Dong told the story of his experience of living in Belgium for two seasons.
From the game on the field, all the way to life off the field; From the communication with the coaches, the relationship with teammates, to the harmony with neighbors; From eating habits to cultural differences, King Dong spoke for nearly three hours. Although most of the time, King Dong complained about the various unaccustomed things of living abroad, he still listed in detail some things that should be paid attention to when living abroad.
When the day dawned, King Dong, who had a dry mouth, fell asleep leisurely after drinking a glass of water. What he didn't know was that in this sleepless night, his words opened another window in Yu Liang's life......
