Chapter 207: Attitude is everything
In October, there was already a hint of coolness in Shanghai, and today's Li Guo returned to his apartment after a day of training as usual. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After taking a shower, I open a bottle of beer, snuggling up on the couch, turning on my computer, and checking my email.
After deleting more than 10 spam emails, a familiar name suddenly jumped into my eyes - Ren Kai.
Li Guo was very impressed by Ren Kai, he played in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and his skills were flashy, and he didn't like him very much.
"What is he looking for me for?"
clicked on the email link sent by Ren Kai, and it turned out to be a video, which was compiled by Ren Kai himself, about his latest situation.
Looking at it, Li Guo's eyes flashed, "This guy went to play football in Ukraine?" ”
The game footage in the video is all Ren Kai wearing a Shakhtar Donetsk jersey to participate in the game, what does this mean?
It is self-evident to people in the football circle, the style of the Ukrainian Premier League is rough, if Ren Kai is still the previous embroidered pillow, it will be shoveled over in 10 minutes, Ren Kai sent this video to Li Guo The meaning is very clear, he changed.
What's even more rare is that this kid can take the initiative to contact himself, and he doesn't have the bullish temper of the so-called "Chinese Kaka" back then.
"Okay, then I'll go see him," Li Guo thought to himself.
*****
Donetsk, a large city in eastern Ukraine, is a city famous for its industry as well as for its football.
Anything else, in terms of football alone, the city has a great team – Shakhtar Donetsk – and a great stadium, the Donbass Arena.
Li Guo came directly to the training base of the Donetsk miners to find Ren Kai, because he had made an appointment in advance, so it was easy for Li Guo to enter the training base.
"Ren Kai, why did you leave St. Paul and come here, this place is very different from St. Paul's climate and customs."
"Want to hear the truth?"
Li Guo nodded.
"Ever since you got out of the national team, I've been wondering if I need to change."
"Haha, hate me?"
"Of course not," Ren Kai smiled, "Thinking about it, I think what you said still makes sense, my style of play is soft, so I came here, I think if I can gain a foothold in the Ukrainian Premier League, you shouldn't think my style of play is soft anymore." ”
"Are you the main force now?"
"Also...... It's not,"
"18-man roster?"
Ren Kai nodded, "You can be in the squad every game." ”
"That's good," Li Guo smiled, "By the way, can you get tickets for the weekend?" I'd like to see your game. ”
"This is on my body," Ren Kai patted his chest and promised.
*****
On the weekend, in the Donbass Arena, Li Guo was wrapped in a thick down jacket to watch the game at the scene, because of insufficient preparation, Li Guo almost froze into a dog in the past few days, fortunately he borrowed a few coats from Ren Kai, otherwise he would have become an ice sculpture.
This game is Shakhtar Donetsk at home against Kharkiv, the opponent is not too strong, Ren Kai also started, as a forward midfielder.
In the position of the national team, Ren Kai faces competition from Hao Junmin and Zheng Zhi, and it is not easy to enter the national team.
After the start of the game, Li Guo opened the coaching assistance system to scan Ren Kai and found that Ren Kai's various data have not improved, which also proves that there is indeed not much room for improvement after the football players end the youth training.
Of course, the coaching assistance system is not omnipotent, such as the mentality of the players, the experience of these things can not be seen, at least in terms of mentality, Ren Kai's progress is still obvious, more mature.
Ren Kai works very the court, and several points are also in place, but he always feels that something is missing.
Suddenly, with a fast break from Shakhtar Donetsk, Li Guo's eyes were drawn to one of the opposing players.
"That's the Chinese?" Li Guo asked himself.
Kharkiv's No. 22 is like a midfield sweeper, with strong interception ability in the position of the midfield, and his body is like a motor, as if he can't run on the pitch, covering a wide area of his own penalty area and the opponent's penalty area.
Li Guo turned on the coaching assistance system and glanced at the No. 22, his ability value is 67, and his potential value is 85.
"Chinese?"
"Chinese?"
"Chinese?"
"You're arguing, just ask at halftime," Mr. Allardyce said.
"Haha, I'm sorry Big Sam, I'm excited when I see a good player."
Li Guo saw a good player like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman, where could he wait until halftime, and immediately contacted the professional football data company he usually cooperates with, and soon Li Guo got the data of the 22nd.
Name Chen Deng, height 185, born in 1990, Dalian, moved to Ukraine with his parents when he was a child, and now plays in Kharkiv, playing as a defensive midfielder.
"Don't look at it, go to the player's tunnel to block him," Li Guo thought to himself.
*****
At the end of the half, Ren Kai turned his head to look for Li Guo, but saw that Li Guo's position was empty, and he was very disappointed.
"It seems that the head is still dissatisfied with me!" Thinking of this, Ren Kai is still very disappointed, seeing that the national football team led by Li Guo is getting better and better, but he can't even enter the squad, and he has also played football for more than 10 years, why did he fail so much.
Ren Kai couldn't figure it out, he lowered his head and returned to the players' tunnel, and in the slightly dark player's tunnel, someone shouted to him, "Why are you lowering your head?" ”
"Head, so you didn't leave."
"Hehe, why should I leave."
Li Guo walked over and put his hand on Ren Kai's shoulder, "Have you ever heard a sentence, attitude determines everything." ”
Ren Kai nodded, "Milu said." ”
"Yes, you have changed, you have retreated from your original unrealistic pride, and I think there will be a place for you in my national team in the future."
Ren Kai almost shed tears of excitement, his efforts were finally rewarded, Li Guo patted him, "You go to the locker room first." ”
After Ren Kai left, Li Guo walked to the next target, and when Chen Deng appeared in Li Guo's sight, Li Guo smiled, but the other party was a little dazed.
"Do you know me?"
"Of course."
"Can you guess what I'm looking for you for?"
Chen Deng looked a little stunned, shook his head and said, "No." ”
Li Guo smiled again, and then said, "By the way, are you still a Chinese national?" ”
"Yes."
"That's going to be easy."
Chen Deng was stunned again, Li Guo knew that according to FIFA regulations, when the national team is called, the players must come, and the club must also release people.
After asking clearly, Li Guo turned around and was about to leave, at this time Chen Deng seemed to understand something, "Do you want me to enter the national team?" ”
"Yes, and in the future, don't call "you", but call your head. (To be continued.) )
