"Are you going back home?"

"Yes, Coach."

The K-League is different from other leagues in that the schedule is awkward.

It should be said that the design of the Korean league is very problematic. The K-League starts in early March and ends the first half of the season in June. The second half of the season starts in August and ends in mid-October.

The entire K-League regular season is only five months long, but each team plays 26 K-League regular season games. And there is also the League Cup group stage, which is ten games in total.

In this way, even if a team does not play in the knockout stages of the League Cup, the FA Cup, or the playoffs in a season, it will have to play 36 games in the regular season of the K League and the group stage of the League Cup.

Thirty-six matches are played in just five months, with an average of at least seven games per month. And those strong teams in the K League have to play League Cup knockout rounds, FA Cup games, AFC Champions League games, and playoff games, and they have to play 50 games in a season. It's a lot more intense than the European leagues.

Of course, that's not the only one that's problematic.

There is also the arrangement of the game.

Those teams who did not make it to the knockout stages of the Carabao Cup can have two months off in the summer. The teams that reach the knockout stages of the Carabao Cup are only one month away. And the rest time in winter is too long.

The K-League regular season ends in mid-October, and the league's playoffs end in early November. Then the K-League started to go into break, and next year's league will not restart until March.

There was a break of almost four months in between. And teams like FC Seoul that don't have a playoff season have more than four months off in the winter. Four months is a long time.

It's really an incomprehensible schedule.

The Seoul FC match was completely over in mid-October, so Kim Myung began to pack his things. It has been more than a year since he left China and came to South Korea, and this is the first time Jin Ming has returned home.

"Have you ever wondered what you're going to do in the past four months?"

"What for?"

Jin Ming scratched his head, not understanding what Li Changxiu meant. In fact, Jin Ming didn't expect that when he packed his things and was about to go home, Li Changxiu actually came to his dormitory.

Jin Ming still lives in the dormitory like many academy players.

Because Jin Ming's current income is really unaffordable to rent a house in Seoul. And Jin Ming is different from foreign aid like Andilson and Dejan. They are all foreign players brought in by the club at a high price, and their accommodation club helps to solve it. The fees are all paid by the club.

But it was a surprise that Jin Ming was able to stay in the first team this season, so of course the club will not solve the house problem for Jin Ming.

"Why, you don't have any ideas. What does that broker do? ”

Li Changxiu looked at Jin Ming scratching his head, frowned, and was very unhappy. Then immediately reprimanded Jin Ming, as well as Jin Ming's agent Wen Dongfang. Seeing that Jin Ming was still a little inexplicable, Li Changxiu was even more angry.

"Four months, four months. If you don't have a little training plan, you won't want to play for four months. ”

When Li Changxiu said this, Jin Ming understood what Li Changxiu meant. But Jin Ming really didn't think about this problem. This season is Jin Ming's first time playing in the professional league, and there are some things that he has certainly never thought about.

Jin Ming was just immersed in the joy of going home.

But Li Changxiu's words gave Jin Ming a blow to the head. Four months, a full four months of vacation. It was not until after the Chinese New Year that the club reunited on February 15, 2008.

Four months.

That's a long time. It is impossible for any sports athlete to play every day for such a long time. If a sports athlete really wastes four months, there must be a huge regression in his level.

"Hmph."

Li Changxiu snorted coldly, then took out a mobile hard drive from his bag and handed it to Jin Ming. Still said coldly: "I knew it would be like this." If you don't learn more while you're young, you won't have a chance to learn in the future. Here's a training plan I've given you based on your situation. Don't just play when you get home. ”

After finishing speaking, he left Jin Ming's dormitory without waiting for Jin Ming to say anything.

"Thank you, Coach."

After Li Changxiu left, Jin Mingcai whispered thanks to the old man with a strange temper. In every way, Jin Ming is very grateful to this old man. Although this old man was cold on the surface, he was very attentive to his disciples. From this old man, Jin Ming still learned a lot of different things.

"Coach Lee Chang-so just left?"

Li Changxiu had just walked for less than five minutes, and Wen Dongfang came to Jin Ming. Wen Dongfang is Jin Ming's agent, because Jin Ming's season has ended, so Wen Dongfang made a special trip to pick up Jin Ming to return to China.

And in the last round of the game, Wen Dongfang also watched the game on the spot.

"Yes."

"What is he doing here?"

Wen Dongfang was puzzled.

After all, Jin Ming is no longer a player in the academy. There is a strict distinction between the academy and the first team. Like the current Seoul FC, the first-team coach cannot interfere in the management of the academy, and the director of the academy is not qualified to dictate the first team.

Since Jin Ming entered the first team, Li Changxiu no longer has any management rights over Jin Ming. If Lee Chang-so manages too much, it will cause the first-team coach to be dissatisfied with Lee Chang-so.

And Wen Dongfang didn't have much of a good impression of Lee Chang-so. Lee Chang-so has a bad temper and is not the type that Moon Dongfang likes.

"Next year, the tournament will start in early March, and we will meet in mid-February. There were four months in between, so Coach Lee Chang-so gave me a training plan. He was scared that I would go back and play for four months. ”

"This old man ......"

Wen Dongfang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I value you very much, but I also underestimate me as an agent." I've been an agent for more than ten years, and I'm not a mix. I've already talked to Coach Choi Ryo-ball. ”

Such a thing is actually a broker's business.

A bad agent can only rely on the players to eat. They don't know how to counsel the players, they don't know how to give the best options to the players. Especially an agent with a talented player in his hand.

There are quite a few such agents in football.

They are obsessed with accommodating the players' ideas rather than actually helping the players. The end result was the death of a talented player. This is not the case with Wen Dongfang.

He has not been in charge of Chinese football for more than ten years. He still has some experience in how to train young geniuses.

"For four months, of course I can't let you play every day. Coach Choi Yong-joo is the coach of your first team, and he is responsible for your training arrangements. So I communicated with him and asked him to give you a training report. ”

Wen Dongfang is no longer the Chinese football agent he once was.

When Chinese football was at its hottest, Wen Dongfang had several players under him. But now Wen Dongfang has such a player as Jin Ming, of course, he has more time to think about Jin Ming.

A four-month blank period, how could Wen Dongfang not be arranged.

"Uncle Wen, where can I find a place to train when I go home? You can't afford to rent a place. ”

After the reform and opening up, China's urbanization is getting faster and faster. China's development in the past 20 years has been getting faster and faster amid doubts at home and abroad. To amaze the whole world.

However, it is precisely because local governments are so obsessed with urbanization that although they are very good at infrastructure, they are not as good as others.

It's like a football field.

In Jinming's city, football stadiums are either paid or closed by some universities, and in the end the club's is left. There are basically no public courts. If you spend money to rent a stadium to train, then it is too luxurious.

"Don't worry about this kind of thing. There I am. ”

Wen Dongfang shook his head.

Wen Dongfang has been an agent in Chinese football for more than ten years. There are still many relationships between the top and bottom, and the major clubs in Chinese football also have their own relationships. It's really not a big problem to find a club and let Jin Ming train first.

"Yes."
