"Old man, Saburo Kawabuchi"

The old man introduced himself in Chinese, which was not very fluent.

Saburo Kawabuchi?! The father of the J-League!

Gao Yuan was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the spirited old man opposite was the famous Saburo Kawabuchi!

Saburo Kawabuchi, born in Osaka Prefecture in 1936, was selected for the national team in 1958 while studying at Waseda University and represented the team in the quarterfinals of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. He made 24 appearances for his country and scored six goals. He retired in 1972 and began his coaching career, working his way up from club coach to national team manager.

His career was brilliant, but the rest of his life was even more legendary.

Saburo Kawabuchi joined the Football Association in 1988, and in 1991 he became the former chairman of the J-League and the Professional Football League, and single-handedly formed the J-League League, and in 1994 he became the vice president of the Football Association. In 2005, it was awarded the first "Asian Diamond" by the AFC. In 2006, he was awarded the "FIFA Meritorious Service Award" by FIFA.

Gao Yuan had seen his name in the instructor of the student handbook, but he didn't expect to see him here and in this way.

What was even more surprising was that the other party actually knew him and invited him to play chess!

It's like you went to listen to Deyun Club's cross talk, but Guo Degang drove Yu Qian away and wanted to have a "radio broadcast on the radio" with you.

"Gao Yuanjun, don't be restrained, come and play a game with the old man."

Saburo Kawabuchi invited with a smile, and there was no frame of the father of the J-League at all.

However, the young man with gold-rimmed glasses stood behind him with his hands bowed, invisibly adding to the old man's superiority momentum.

Gao Yuan had heard that he had a strong sense of respect and inferiority, and now he saw that he really lived up to his reputation.

The game of chess just now was really exciting, and Gao Yuan was already itching to watch it, and he never dreamed that he would play chess with a character like Saburo Kawabuchi, and he was not polite at the moment.

The only bow is regarded as a salute to the seniors, and then sit down and set up the chess pieces.

Seeing Gao Yuan's grinning attitude, the young man with gold wire glasses was very unhappy, and seemed to want to reprimand, but Saburo Kawabuchi happily disagreed, and said: "Gao Yuanjun, please!" ”

Seeing the old man speak, the young man was very interested and did not speak.

Gao Yuan had just seen the old man's chess skills and knew that he was a master. At the moment, you are not welcome, use what you have learned in your life, think carefully about the layout, and the old man is unhurried, looking like a master of the world.

Although Gao Yuan's chess strength is good, the opening game is all the high moves in the chess game, and the middle game is also well thought-out, but it is inevitable that he and the opponent will fall into a bitter fight, and after a close competition, in the end it is still a bad move, and the old man grabbed a loophole and slaughtered the dragon in one fell swoop.

The old man saw that Gao Yuan was not convinced, so he invited him to fight another game.

This time, Gao Yuan was even more careful, exhausted his efforts, and gained the upper hand several times in the mid-game strangulation, but he failed to completely defeat the opponent, but was caught by the loophole and was taken to the next city.

Although he lost two battles in a row, he lost a little after a hard battle, and the hope of victory was dangling in front of him, which made Gao Yuan both unconvinced and itchy. Gao Yuan was about to do it again, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the smile on the old man's face, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

Saburo Kawabuchi's chess skills turned out to be much higher than himself, even so high that he could hang his appetite, and he would win if he wanted to win, and he would lose if he wanted to lose! It's just that why would such a big man lead himself to play chess with him? Isn't this a waste of life? Gao Yuan couldn't figure out the reason for a while.

In short, this chess can't be played, the other party must have some purpose, but he can't guess it! Although you can't guess, you can't go according to the other party's wishes.

At this time, Saburo Kawabuchi spoke: "Gao Yuanjun, how about killing a game?" ”

But Gao Yuan pushed the chessboard and said with a smile: "Mr. Chuan Yuan, my chess strength is too inferior to you, and I am fortunate to be taught today, which is really a blessing for three lives." It's just that I'm not strong enough to drink today, and my mind is dizzy, so I can't continue to ask for advice, thank you for the advice, and don't leave it at that. ”

said let's stand up, and bowed politely.

"Gao Yuanjun, you're welcome. I've watched the games you've coached, and I have a lot of respect for your football philosophy and commanding skills. After decades of hard work, Asian players now have a place in the world, but they are not yet able to shake the hegemony of Europe and Latin America at a higher level of coaching. I think the hope is on you, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the future light of Asian football, please continue to work hard, and look forward to seeing Asian faces coaching European giants in your lifetime. Please! ”

As he spoke, Saburo Kawabuchi stood up and bowed respectfully.

This 90-degree bow is much more standard than Gao Yuan's perfunctory bow just now.

"......" Gao Yuan was taken aback, he didn't expect that the godfather of football would actually salute him, and he also got rid of himself to win glory for Asian football.

Gao Yuan wanted to say some kind words such as "You praised it falsely" and "I'm still far away", but when the words came to his lips, seeing the other party's sincere eyes, he swallowed it back and blurted out "Mr. Kawabuchi, I will do my best!" ”

After Gao Yuan left, the young man with gold wire glasses behind Saburo Kawabuchi said with some displeasure: "Sir, this person is too arrogant and unreasonable!" ”

Saburo Kawabuchi frowned and asked, "Yoshikawa-kun, why did you say this?" ”

"It's a great honor to deign to play against him for your sake, and he dares to take the initiative to refuse! And when you expressed your high hopes for him, he unceremoniously agreed, which is really arrogant! ”

"Yoshikawa-kun, that's what makes him so good! He saw my temptation for him, and although he was in the middle of the game and unwilling to lose, he was able to stop the loss in time and get out of the chess game, which requires great wisdom and determination; And daring to accept my compliments is not arrogant, but has enough confidence and will, and it also means that he has a clear goal and direction! What an amazing young man! ”

The young man was very surprised, he didn't expect that Mr. Kawabuchi, who had a very high vision, would have such a high opinion of a Chinese boy, and there was no trace of annoyance and disdain flashing on his white face.

"When he played the game just now, although his chess power was immature, he was magnificent, not fighting for the gains and losses of one city and one place, and when he fought in the middle game, he also had the courage of a strong man to break his wrist. In time, he must be a good chess player! ”

Saburo Kawabuchi paused and said.

"We East Asians have always been good at wisdom and determination, and even if we play to the extreme, we will hardly be the opponent of European and Latin American football powers.

If we want to change the pattern of world football and increase the discourse power of Asian football, the only way to win a place on the stage of coaches is to win a place. I believe that sooner or later, East Asian coaches will become a force to be reckoned with among the world's top coaches. This requires you young talents to expand your territory.

Yoshikawa-kun, in my eyes, you are the hope for the future of this football, but at this stage, you are far from being the opponent of this young man! ”

The young man's face was full of surprise, but then his god became extremely determined.

"Yes, sir, I will do my best to achieve the glory of Daben Football Coach with your teachings in mind!"

Saburo Kawabuchi smiled slightly, he was confident in this junior who he had high hopes for. Suddenly he remembered something again.

"Also, Yoshikawa, although you Sumitomo Trading Company are the pillars of the militaristic era, I don't want you to become a narrow nationalist, and narrow people will not be able to achieve great success! China is a great country, and there are great nations here. Although they have taken many detours and their development in football is not satisfactory, you should never ignore the endless potential of this country, this nation! So, I don't want to say words like Shina in your mouth anymore, you know? ”

The young man's expression changed drastically, he stood up straight, and bent straight to apologize.

"Hey! Remember your teachings! ”
