Xu Xin has been here, and the last time he sat in this position, the training ground outside the window was empty, in stark contrast to the lively scene now.

"The culture of our team is very good, every player who comes here will definitely find his place and play with light and heat!"

Lin Hanxue, the general manager of the club, said, "I hope to create a warm family atmosphere, and everyone in the club, whether it is the players, coaches or support staff, is like family. ”

Xu Shuo looked at the figures running back and forth outside the window, this scene happened to him almost every day, but he still never got tired of seeing it, and even wanted to take off his suit and go for a run now.

As a professional athlete, you must maintain a certain amount of exercise every day, otherwise your physical performance will decline.

"Hongchen was almost relegated last season, and the new season is about to start, do you have a chance to compete for the championship?" Xu Xin said with a smile.

"Championship?" Lin Hanxue laughed, this is an inconsequential joke, "I won't tell you, our team's goal for the new season is relegation." ”

"The goal of relegation is very pragmatic." Xu Xin certainly understands the situation of these teams.

"The team didn't invest heavily in the offseason, mainly to keep the main players who played well last season and offer contract extensions. With the current team, the hope for the new season is very high. ”

Lin Hanxue enthusiastically introduced the club culture to Xu Shuo, "Our club has always had a tradition of convening local players, fans are locals, players are also locals, can form a cohesive force, form a sense of belonging, combat effectiveness will be stronger!"

Xu Shuo, you must come to our team, there is everything you want, football, big contracts, dreams! ”

Xu Shuo knew that the main purpose of coming over today was not to talk to Lin Han, for him, the dream of football was not over.

The brothers waited for about an hour for the team's training session to finally end.

Several middle-aged men in black coach uniforms walked into the rest area.

Lin Hanxue pointed to the bald person who walked in the front, "This is our team's head coach Ning Minghui. ”

Everyone pays attention to football, and they have seen this person in various media, so they don't need to be introduced.

Ning Minghui pulled out a chair, sat down, and looked at Xu Xin and Xu Shuo, "That is Xu Shuo?" ”

"I am." Xu Shuo looked at Ning Minghui's gaze.

Ning Minghui's gaze was like a scanner, wanting to see through Xu Shuo's physical condition, "I don't know much about you, you can tell me yourself." ”

As a player that the club plans to introduce, Xu Shuo's relevant detailed information must be listed clearly, mainly for the head coach to watch and analyze whether it meets the needs of team construction.

As a result, when we first met, the other party said that they didn't know you.

In a word, it can be seen that Ning Minghui does not have much interest in Xu Shuo.

"We only had 15 minutes to talk, and at the end of the break, the team had to do technical and tactical training."

He glanced at the expensive designer watch on his wrist and added, "You try to convince me as hard as you can, in this time." ”

Xu Shuo wanted to hear the head coach take the initiative to speak, saying that the team needs you, you must come, and there is a place for you here.

All illusions were shattered in an instant, and this transfer opportunity does not mean that this team needs his contribution.

He was silent, hurt inside.

"Xu Shuo's skills are comprehensive, his long pass scheduling is very accurate, and he spares no effort to run on the court, never admitting defeat, this kind of tenacious character is a good boost to the team's spirit." Lin Hanxue took the initiative to introduce.

The look of disappointment on Ning Minghui's face was obvious, "It is said that you play on the side, do you have the speed to be able to shake off the defender in an instant?" ”

Speed has always been something Xu Shuo is not good at.

"The positioning of our team is very clear, that is, to defend and counterattack, without a fast side, which can go up and down, our attack is greatly reduced, like a tiger has lost its claws."

Ning Minghui obviously had read Xu Shuo's relevant information, and he had already made a judgment in his heart, "You are not a player of the team I built, you have no place in my team." ”

Xu Shuo knew that this would be the result, exactly the same as the process of negotiating here a few years ago.

Unlike last time, the team is now in a different manager, and there is no place for him there.

Each coach has different preferences and arranges different types of players according to different skills and tactics.

He was left out of the squad.

He once looked at how many companions around him, experienced no ball to kick, and left gloomily, some went to run takeaways, some went to work as security guards, and some went to construction sites...... Many first-line famous players can enjoy the second half of their lives with the total salary accumulated by their youth, but they can't, and they still need to run for a living after retiring.

It's finally their turn.

The head coach's words have been made very clear, Lin Hanxue is caught in the middle, and he is in a dilemma for a while.

'I think I'll be able to sit on the bench and when you need me, I'll be able to step up and make a difference!' Xu Shuo has a very clear understanding of himself.

For him, the first goal at the moment is to be able to play with the ball.

"Look," Ning Mingyue pointed out the transparent window, and the players on the training ground were replenishing their water, "We have a bloated lineup, there are twenty-six players, and I still have a headache about how to choose the eighteen-man squad." ”

Xu Shuo knows Hongchen Football Club very well, and even knows every player in it, and he doesn't think that he doesn't have to be bad for most of them.

In many cases, it is not the feeling that you are able to change the opinion of others.

The manager's point of view is the only criterion that determines the team.

"It seems that Coach Ning does not welcome me to this team." Xu Shuo was frustrated in his heart, but his emotions were very restrained, and he showed a smile.

"Unfortunately, you weren't part of our plans."

Ning Minghui stood up with a serious face, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xu Shuo, "You stay in the original team, or find another job, please take care of yourself." ”

After that, he took the coaching staff and left indifferently.

"Wait a minute, I'll talk to him."

Lin Hanxue stood up and chased after Ning Minghui and the others, as if he wanted to fight for a chance for Xu Shuo in Ning Minghui.

Only the two brothers remained, sitting side by side, looking out the window at the players.

The players outside the window also looked curiously at the people in the rest area.

"This coach is very good." Xu Xin had been holding back and didn't speak just now.

If it weren't for the fear that saying the wrong thing would be bad, he would have wanted to spit a few trash words at the coach just now.

Xu Shuo has a strong heart, and it is also the benefit of being mentally prepared, so he said very calmly: "Ning Minghui was able to lead the team to relegation last year, and he is still very capable."

At least from a technical and tactical point of view, he is a very pragmatic manager. ”

"I think you're better than most of them." Xu Xin pointed to the players outside the window, anyway, there are glass windows separating them, and the people outside can't hear the conversation inside, "People with strength can't be reused, and the head coach has a problem." ”

'You can't say that, every manager has his own tactical requirements, different players in different positions. My personality is not obvious, and a lot of people say I'm a panacea on the pitch.

If I succeed, I'm an all-rounder.

If you don't succeed in your career, it's not like four. ”

Xu Shuo was able to say this, which shows that he has experienced a lot of hardships, "A lot of things can't go according to your heart, let's take one step at a time, it's really not good, to play in the Huayi League, there are always teams that need players like me." ”

"Second Division?" Xu Xinzhi shook his head, "In the league at this level, the subordinate echelons of the Chinese Super League teams are basically participating, and the players are either young youth players or old players who are about to retire, you go, how aggrieved!" ”

"Just kick the ball." Xu Shuo's request is simple.

"What the hell!"

Xu Xin couldn't help but scold, looking at the players who were not far away from each other outside the window, he suddenly made some discoveries, "Half of these people are former players from the Hangcheng Club!" ”

"Ning Minghui used to be the head coach of Hangcheng Club for five years and brought out a large number of young players, but then Hangcheng Club was relegated, and he came here." Xu Shuo knows these football things very well, "Many head coaches have a habit of trusting the players they have brought with them, after all, they know the root cause and watch the food." ”

"To put it so nicely, he's cronyism!" Xu Xin criticized unceremoniously.

The brothers were chatting, Lin Hanxue walked quickly, frowned and said: "Coach Ning's attitude is firm, Xu Shuo, don't worry too much, we will try our best to communicate with Coach Ning, and we will definitely win a position in the team for you!" ”

"I'm tired."

Xu Shuo stood up and prepared to leave, there was no point in continuing to stay here.

Lin Hanxue smiled and said: "Don't worry, our chairman specially told me that I must keep you for dinner together."

This is the task he gave me, and if I can't complete it, I will have to lose my job. ”

"So serious?" Xu Xin quipped.

"The Holy Command cannot be violated." Lin Hanxue is very respectful.

Xu Shuo and Xu Xin glanced at each other, and he nodded and said, "Okay, then wait here." ”

Lin Hanxue chatted with them for a long time, and it was not until the end of the team's training that he had a temporary work arrangement.

The players left the training ground, some returned indoors and continued to practice with training equipment, and some went directly to the shower to finish the day's training tasks.

A player actually walked across from Xu Shuo and Xu Xin, "Captain, long time no see." ”

"Zeng Wei, long time no see." Xu Shuo greeted with a smile.

Zeng Wei is tall and thin, with prominent cheekbones, and his appearance is not good.

Xu Xin knew this person and had seen it many times.

I even saw his related reports on the football news at the beginning of the year.

Last year, Hongchen Football Club was successfully relegated and completed the contract renewal with several main players, among which Zeng Wei was one of the players who renewed the contract.

His new contract is the largest, a five-year contract, with a total price of more than 150 million.

Now the value of Chinese football players is generally very high, especially the head players.

Xu Shuo and Zeng Wei know each other because they are both from the Happy Football School, and they represented Heijin Province together in the Provincial Games and achieved a good ranking.

At that time, Xu Shuo was the captain of the football team of the Provincial Games.

Time flies, and things are not people.

"I've always heard that the team wants to sign you back, and that's been said a few years ago, but it never came to fruition.

Zeng Wei sat directly opposite, holding a bottle of sports drink in his hand, "After so many years, I didn't expect you to ...... Alas, you used to be our captain, alas! ”
