Epilogue Happy Birthday

readx;

This is a quiet house on the edge of the clear lake, the lake is the main gate of the house, and behind the courtyard wall is a large manor covering an area of about ten acres. Pen %Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info// High Speed Update//.78xs.

Qinghu, a tourist attraction in this heavy industrial city in the north.

When the weather is nice, there are many people boating on the lake, and many people gather and play in the surrounding farmhouses.

But that's the south shore of the lake.

Crossing the wide lake, it is much quieter on the north shore of the lake.

This large mansion is located on the northern shore of the lake.

There is a road that runs directly from the Ring Road to the entrance of the mansion.

Usually, there are not many cars here, and most of this house is as quiet as the north shore of Qinghu Lake.

Dense woods radiate from both sides of the road.

The huge canopy of trees covers the two-lane road in both directions, and if you just look from a distance, it's hard to spot that there's a road here.

The entrance to this road is also hidden, with a dense grove of trees abruptly parting in the middle, and there is a "tunnel" formed by the trees. This is the entrance to the highway, there are no signs, and you won't see any road signs on the highway or the four-lane road that comes out of it.

When the car drives in from here, it has to cross a full four or five kilometers of winding boulevards before the view suddenly opens up.

You'll see a sparkling, wide clear lake, and a high-walled compound.

In normal times, there is no figure here.

But today is different, the lawn in front of the house is full of all kinds of luxury cars, and cars are constantly coming from the far side of the road.

Coming down from the Ring Expressway ten kilometers away, there are traffic police officers along the road who are responsible for maintaining order.

At the gate of the house, the same is true, many traffic police officers have become security guards in the parking lot, directing the guests to park.

It's rare to see such a lively scene here.

Luckily, it's a long way from the South Shore where tourists gather, otherwise it would have attracted a lot of tourists - just the expensive luxury cars in the parking lot are enough to cause a sensation.

Why are so many luxury cars parked outside a house hidden in the woods by the lakeside?

β€»β€»β€»

If just the car surprises people, then the people who get out of the car are even more surprised.

This is the border of China, but many of the people who get out of the car look like foreigners!

So many foreigners gather in a country house in a second-tier Chinese city...... Why is that?

There are too many doubts.

These foreigners seem to be familiar with each other, and after they get off the bus, they greet each other very warmly.

The gate of the house was open, and two large red lanterns hung at the door.

It has a strong Chinese flavor.

Guests greeted each other outside the gate, and then walked through the gate in groups and towards the courtyard.

In addition to these foreigners, there are also many Chinese, some of whom dress casually, and some of whom wear suits and leather shoes.

There are people of all ages, from young people in their thirties to elderly people in their sixties and seventies.

What are these people from different countries, different languages, different ages, and different identities all coming here?

β€»β€»β€»

In fact, it has attracted the attention of many media outlets here.

Unable to get close to the house, most of the media reporters gathered at the entrance where the road turned onto the fork in the road and photographed the incoming vehicles.

Through the car window, they could see more or less who was sitting inside.

Whenever a car drove by, they exclaimed, "Oh my God! It's Gao Hongbo! ”

"GΓΆtze is here too? Isn't he leading the team to play? ”

"I said I took a day off, and I guess I will fly back overnight tonight......"

"Look! Ji Ming! The presidents of the AFC are here......"

"What's so surprising about that? Isn't that normal? ”

"There are a lot of big-name coaches...... It's really blinding me......"

"Who is this? What a dazzling bald head...... Holy! Pep Guardiola! ”

When Pep Guardiola appeared in everyone's field of vision, the reporters were particularly excited.

Pep Guardiola is also very famous as a very successful manager in international football.

Although he has always won fewer and lost more in his encounters with regular winners, that doesn't stop him from being the world's top coach. He has also won three Champions League titles.

This is quite a feat.

Of course, if you compare it with Chang Sheng, it is far worse, but people like Chang Sheng are exceptions and must be listed separately.

If a coach can win three Champions League titles in his coaching career, that's already very good and can be considered legendary.

For example, former Liverpool legendary manager Bob. Pasley won three Champions League titles, and he became an eternal legend.

So it's not hard to see why these journalists are thrilled after seeing Pep Guardiola.

In world football, Guardiola has long been a bigwig.

Even after he is retired, his influence in international football is still huge.

In other words, peaches and plums are all over the world.

That's the forces!

After Pep Guardiola passed, another bald head came.

This bald head is just as big as Robert. Di Matteo!

The coach, who won two Champions League titles in his coaching career, has now been retired.

Now he is a senior technical advisor to the Italian Football Federation, which is basically an idle position.

In addition to retired veterans such as Pep Guardiola and Roberto Di Matteo, there are also a number of current managers who are either well-known in their home leagues or have proven themselves with titles throughout Europe.

There are many of them who are the kind of super-celebrities who can occupy the entire newspaper page when they appear alone.

But today it has emerged in a heap.

Why, exactly?

β€»β€»β€»

Walking under the two red lanterns hanging above the gate, and passing through the courtyard gate, there is an open lawn.

On the lawn, there are some makeshift tents.

Under the tent, some people are busy setting up the table, while others are busy preparing the ingredients, looking like they are going to have a picnic party.

Most of the people gathered on this lawn and chatted in groups.

Behind the lawn there is a small two-storey cottage.

People kept running in and out of the open door.

When Guardiola and Di Matteo appeared at the gate of the courtyard one after the other, they attracted the attention of everyone inside.

Everyone flocked to pay their respects and greetings to the two legendary European coaches.

The two of them greeted everyone, but they didn't stop, but walked slowly through the path side by side towards the villa gate.

While walking, they greet each other's bodies.

The people who came up to greet them did not follow them, but retreated.

The two men walked through the open door, and when they entered, the busyness outside was left behind.

Sixty-year-old JosΓ©. Passarella stood inside, and when she saw two men, she greeted her: "You're late, Pep, Robert. ”

"Hey, traffic jam!"

The two men spoke in unison, then looked at each other and smiled.

And then Jose. Passarella led the way in front, and they stepped up the steps.

All three of them didn't go fast, Jose. Passarella is deliberately slow, while Guardiola and Di Matteo are not fast and are not forgiving in their age.

When they finally made it to the second floor, they turned a corner and heard a burst of laughter coming from inside the front door.

Jose. Passarella led them to the door and shouted inside, "Pep and Robert are here!" ”

Laughter gaps.

Pep Guardiola and Di Matteo appeared at the door, and the people in the house saw them, and they saw the people in the house.

In the huge study, there were people sitting on chairs, sofas, and even on the floor.

All of them are familiar faces.

However, the eyes of the two men quickly passed over them and landed on the table in the center of the study...... The guy behind it.

It was an old man about the same age as them, with gray hair.

Although the face is full of furrows and wrinkles, this face is still familiar.

Now the eyes on this face bulged, staring at them widen, and there was a sense of not being angry and arrogant: "If you are late, consciously order, you will be fined three glasses of wine!" ”

The voice is hoarse, but you can tell that you are in good spirits.

Guardiola stretched out his hands: "I have stomach bleeding. ”

Di Matteo pointed to his abdomen: "I don't have a good liver. ”

The wrinkles on that face squeezed further into the middle, almost hiding the eyes into the wrinkles.

"Hey, I said, don't rely on the old and sell the old!"

"Okay, don't pretend, you're relying on the old and selling the old here!" Guardiola walked up, walked around the table, and opened his arms to the people behind the table.

The wrinkles on the face that were not angry and arrogant shrank together, but after hearing what the other party said, they all bloomed in an instant.

Then he opened his arms and hugged Pep Guardiola, followed by Roberto Di Matteo.

"It's nice to see that you're all alive!" The man behind the table, that is, Chang Sheng, hugged them and slapped them on the back.

Guardiola also slapped him on the back and said: "You are our boss, you are not dead, how dare we die in front of you?" Even that Rudy guy is almost ninety, isn't he still alive and well? It's just that I can't fly, so I couldn't come, and he asked me to bring you a message...... I wish you a happy 80th birthday! ”

Chang Sheng smiled, he glanced at the whole field, looked at the people in the room, they were all players who had played under him, some of them became coaches after retiring and took charge of themselves, and some of them did not continue to work related to football after retiring.

But Chang Sheng looked at them, and all of them remembered their names, everyone, and everyone.

"yes, they're eighty years old...... That's a lot of time......"

He smiled and muttered.

β€»β€»β€»

Yes. So many people gathered in such an ordinary Chinese house just to celebrate Chang Sheng's birthday.

Today is September 27, 2052, and the 80-year-old of the most legendary and greatest head coach in world football.

From becoming the head coach of Getafe at the age of 27 to retiring at the age of 75, Chang Sheng has been in charge for 48 years, winning countless championships, training countless players, and training a large number of coaches.

This is perhaps the greatest contribution he has made to world football.

He didn't leave any tactical system, because the tactical system is constantly changing, and what you leave behind today may be outdated tomorrow and useless, just like the free man at the beginning.

Tactical thinking of these, Chang Sheng did not leave anything commendable.

However, he has produced countless excellent coaches for world football, and I am afraid that it is more remarkable than leaving one or two tactical ideas.

And these excellent coaches also carry on the tradition of their teachers and continue to train apprentices.

Just like this, generation after generation, there is no end to the disciples.

Today's European football is basically about to win the world.

said before that Guardiola is all over the world, and it is far from winning constantly.

These coaches in the winning system are either in the first team as managers or in the youth industry.

China, as a victorious motherland, has also benefited immensely.

Today's Chinese football has long stood tall in the world of football.

This is all thanks to the talents that Chang Sheng has cultivated, the introduction of China's advanced football concepts, and his huge influence in world football as a Chinese......

Some media once said that Chang Sheng is the emperor of world football, he is not the president of FIFA, nor is he the president of UEFA, but his words have much weight than these two presidents.

Such a great big man, his life, not to mention the chairman of the Chinese Football Association, FIFA, UEFA, AFC and other well-known figures also want to congratulate and congratulate!

β€»β€»β€»

More and more people came to Changsheng's study, and finally they couldn't even sit on the floor.

His wife, Avril Lavigne, who was already a haired old woman, appeared at the door: "Gentlemen, if you squeeze any more here, my house will be crowded!" ”

Chang Sheng was also a little embarrassed, everyone had been chatting too happily before, and completely ignored this matter - these famous coaches and officials in international football, they were all sitting on the ground without an image!

That's not hospitality.

So he got up and beckoned everyone to go downstairs to the lawn, where the air was good.

Everyone cheered and poured out.

When Chang Sheng walked to the door, he found Avril still waiting for him outside the door.

At the age of sixty-eight, she has long lost the beautiful face and smooth skin of her youth, and the years have carved deep wrinkles on her face, and age spots have appeared on her face.

Chang Sheng saw her hand over his hand.

Avril took the lead, and the two of them turned around the corner and walked slowly down the stairs step by step. The wooden staircase creaked with every step.

The lawn outside the house was bustling with people.

But time in the house seems to be slow and quiet.

It seems that every step you take takes a long time.

Walking to the corner of the stairs, Chang Sheng stopped, as if to rest.

He gently pulled his palm from Avril's hand, reached into the pocket of his coat, and fumbled.

Then he took out a small green object from it and handed it to Avril.

"It's so lively today, everyone has come from all over the world to celebrate my birthday. But they don't know that today is also your birth. But I haven't forgotten to be happy, my dear. ”

Avril looked down at the gift she was holding in her hand, a ring made of straw.

She smiled: "What a coincidence. ”

With that, she also took out something from her pocket, which was also a ring made of straw.

"I made one for you too! Happy life, my ...... Uncle! ”

The two men put the ring on each other, then looked up and smiled at each other.

Chang Sheng handed Avril Lavigne again, and Avril took it and continued to support her husband downstairs.

As she descended the stairs, Avril felt Chang Sheng's hand clutching her hand hard.

This feeling made her miss it all of a sudden.

Because when she first met her uncle, she followed her uncle from Spain to China, and she was nervous all the way because she was afraid of flying.

At that time, the uncle also held his hand like this, squeezed it hard, and told her, don't be afraid, there is nothing to worry about.

Maybe it was from that moment that I fell in love with this uncle who was twelve years older than me......

The two of them held each other like this and slowly walked down the stairs.

Although there were many people waiting for him outside, he was not in a hurry.

The eighty-year-old said that he was glad not that so many people came to see him, but that it was his wife who helped him down the stairs, not crutches and a nanny.

When people reach their twilight years, they are accompanied by their relatives, how happy it is......

The sunlight that came in obliquely from the gate shone on them as they stepped down the stairs, dragging a long shadow behind them.

"The sun is so nice...... What is Happiness? Happiness is to be able to go downstairs and bask in the sun when you are old, ha! ”

Facing the bright sunshine, Chang Sheng muttered with empty eyes.
