men's volleyball

Chapter 202

In Beihe's National U17, the Pengli team's first game of the second stage was in full swing.

The hometown of the Pengli team, which is more than 1000 kilometers away, is Hui Province.

It was a hot summer in August, and the weather in Luzhou was also very hot. Although it was evening, the sun was still high.

From a distance, the pavement that has been exposed to the sun for a day looks more like steaming heat. People who are in it can feel the heat through the soles of their shoes when stepping on it.

It's really hot!
On the side of the road, Lu Jianguo, the head coach of the provincial volleyball team, opened the door of the car and got out of the cool taxi with the air conditioner turned on. Suddenly, he felt surrounded by a wave of heat.

It made him feel uncomfortable in an instant.

Moreover, the heat is one part, and the restlessness in the heart is another part. When the two phases are combined, the uncomfortable feeling comes from the inside out.

Wiping his forehead and wiping away the sweat that didn't exist, Lu Jianguo frowned even deeper.

Look up, the place is here.

This is the place where he still ran here even though he was still in the heat in the afternoon, and he was not feeling well.

On the opposite side of the road, beside the gate of a rather old building, there are several large characters clearly printed on the plaque with black letters on a white background - Huizhou Provincial Sports Bureau Ball Games Management Center.

Let's make it clear today, I really can't delay!
Looking at the door, Lu Jianguo pressed his hand on the pocket of his trouser pocket, secretly felt the thickness of the trouser pocket, and made a secret decision in his heart.

Crossing the road, Lu Jianguo walked into the gate quickly.

The guard at the gate saw someone staggering in, and stretched his head out of the window of the reception room. After seeing the old man, he shook his head and lazily came out to call for registration.

Grabbed the register directly, and filled in the visitor's information with ease.

While filling it, I was still muttering in my heart.

This old man is here again. He has been running for many days in a row, and he doesn't know what he does every day.

I didn't see the head coach of any project running to the center every day. I heard that I didn't know what to say in Director Jiang's office that day. Director Jiang seemed to have a loud voice, really...

The guard shook his head secretly and complained.

At this time, Lu Jianguo didn't have time to think about other people's complaints or not. He walked into the central gate, walked through the small courtyard inside the gate, and walked into the office building without stopping.

It was an old-fashioned 5-story building, and there was no elevator. He followed the stairs and climbed up to the fourth floor without raising his head.

I ran into some people along the way, some of them even greeted him, but he just nodded in response.

Moreover, the appearance of the response is not very good-looking.

His complexion was already a bit dark, but with his serious, frowning and even a bit dry expression, this made him feel even darker.

It's like, I'm really not happy to see you.

This makes people who are not very familiar with each other and just know each other to say hello in a friendly way feel somewhat embarrassed.

But the old man was ignorant, and they could only smile helplessly.

They couldn't help but looked at the back of the old man, and saw that he walked through the corridor to an office at the back, knocked on the door once, and then pushed the door straight in.

I don't know what Director Jiang can do today!

In that office, Director Jiang, who was being talked about by others, really didn't know what was going on right now.

Hearing the knock on the door, his heart skipped a bit, but he still called in, just once, and then, he saw the old man push the door and enter.

It made him smile a few times, why is he so strong, persistent, so...

Well, how many old comrades who have passed through that era are not strong?
"Guide Lu, don't talk yet, sit down and rest for a while!"

Seeing that Lu Jianguo seemed to be planning to get straight to the point again, he put down what he was doing, stood up from his chair, and pressed his hand.

Then he walked out from behind the desk, took a glass of water from the water dispenser on the side, walked up to Lu Jianguo, and handed it over.

"It's a hot day, there's no need to run like this. Didn't I tell you about it before? And, as you said, I reported it to the director, and discussed it at our director's office meeting. However, the result is not You haven't come out yet, you are too anxious..."

Director Jiang showed a smile and complained half-truthfully.

"Hey! Director Jiang..."

Lu Jianguo was really thirsty, and he was not polite when he took the water glass. He poured down a glass of water and said, "I'm in a hurry, but I can't help it..."

"You..."

Director Jiang couldn't hold back his smile, and his eyebrows furrowed.

"Let's not talk about it, Director Jiang. If you talk about discipline, procedures, and the relationship between the top and bottom of the organization, I, Lao Lu, understand it all. Don't waste your energy to tell me!"

"I started as a coach, and I have experienced a lot of things. Whether it was during that time or after the change, I have not experienced anything."

"That……"

Director Jiang was about to speak, but Lu Jianguo continued to talk without hesitation, "Director Jiang, how long have we worked together? It's been 20 years since you first entered the training base. We knew each other when you first entered the training base. The subordinates have also been young for 10 years, you should know my personality..."

"Many people say that I am a troublesome person, that I always like to show off my seniority, throw out my qualifications whenever I encounter problems, and like to mess with leaders.

As far as I just came here, among those people I met, there must be many people who said it in their hearts.But what kind of person I am, Lao Lu, you can only watch from the sidelines, and you can't help but know. "

Director Jiang nodded helplessly.

Indeed, it has been quite a long time. When he was still young, he met Lu Jianguo only a few years after he started working.At that time, Lu Jianguo was more important than him in the province.

Because of their work in the training center, they have more contact with each other. In fact, they have been getting along well.

Old man Lu really doesn't like to put on a veteran status as many people say, but he seems to be a little more rigorous and hard-line.

On the contrary, he is a person who is willing to take care of others.

Of course, he feels that the old man's principle of helping others is also very strong, provided that you are worthy of his care.

He is willing to take care of those who are capable and willing to do the job, even if they don't do very well, let alone those who have some level and potential. As long as the old man can do it, he will basically help take care of it.

Speaking of which, many old sports people from that era are like this. Sometimes I really have to say that they are a group of people with faith.

Belief in the country, the collective, and the project itself!
Therefore, he actually really respected these old comrades.

Of course, to respect Lu Jianguo, take care of Lu Jianguo as much as he can within the scope of his authority. This is partly because he was taken care of when he was at the base.

However, Lu Jianguo's sense of propriety has always been very good, and he has never been so-called old friends, which makes him very satisfied.

And because of the change of identity, he didn't have any special emotions. Instead, he naturally changed from the original Xiao Jiang to Assistant Jiang, Director Jiang, and from you to you in terms of title.

To be honest, he doesn't care about these names, but these details can reflect the problem.

Because Director Jiang knows that Lu Jianguo is not the kind of person who welcomes the leader. The reason for this is probably because he respects the rules and certain organizational procedures.

This actually made him more satisfied.

For so many years, others have seen the old man often come to quarrel with him, is it because of his age, seniority or something?

In fact, when Lu Jianguo asked him for something, he basically followed the normal procedure to persuade him logically.

He is reasonable and reasonable, and he can manage his work in a down-to-earth manner.

Although the performance of the volleyball team has not been very good these years, the leaders still feel in their hearts that Lu Jianguo is good!

But now this time, there are reasons and things can be said, but this matter is really not that kind of matter. Some things seem to be up to them to decide, but in fact, this premise is a situation that they have not paid attention to.

"Director Lu, the matter is really not settled yet! Besides, you have just passed 60 years old, so you are not considered old. Even if the decision is made, you still need to help steer the helm."

Director Jiang had to explain again.

"Well!"

Lu Jianguo fell silent, and the look on his face became darker and darker, before finally sighing softly.

"Director Jiang, I know about that person in Suzhou Province!"

"Um?!"

Director Jiang's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, but he returned to the original state in a flash, and shook his head secretly in his heart.

The volleyball circle is indeed not that big. Lu Jianguo has worked as a volleyball coach for decades, so he still has some news and connections.Even with the bureau, there must be some news in common.

It's not surprising to know.

Things seem to be catching up.

Lu Jianguo is indeed old, and he himself has said several times that he will retire. In the past two years, the center has begun to consider the matter of successors.

Originally, that coach Du was a possible backup for reference, but they also listened to Lu Jianguo's opinions. Regarding work matters, Lu Jianguo basically put the matter itself above the height of human feelings.

Coach Du is not suitable to be the "master", at least not for the time being, and needs to try more and exercise more.

These are Lu Jianguo's original words, and the center has given them careful consideration, so the matter has been put aside for the time being.

Look at the development and see if there is a more suitable candidate.

Fortunately, the old man seems to be able to stand up. With him, although the volleyball team may not be good, it will not be worse.

Just this year, a few months ago, Lu Jianguo made those moves, which made the leaders see the old man's active and enterprising side, which was really gratifying.

Some time ago, Lu Jianguo proposed adding an assistant coach and nutritional therapy, and they all agreed.

The assistant coach is naturally Lu Lin.

In fact, Lu Lin really had a deep impression on him. Could he not be familiar with the former Huizhou volleyball players?

Although he doesn't have much coaching experience, he is a top athlete, so it's really not a big deal to be a coach.This is the case in many other provinces, not to mention Lao Lu's recommendation.

As a result, within a few days, Lu Jianguo directly recommended this Lu Lin to take over.

They had actually thought about it to some extent. Director Jiang can be said to know Lu Jianguo better. When he asked Lu Lin to join the coaching staff from Lu Jianguo, he felt that the old man wanted to train Lu Lin on purpose.

He also felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and as the same sentence said, it is not an exception for a top athlete to retire and become a coach, or even directly become a head coach.

I have communicated with other leaders of the center on this matter and reported it to the director.In fact, it seems possible to settle down.

Their ball control center originally chose a sports team coach, which was entirely within their scope of work, and it was not a big deal.

But things happened to be a little twists and turns!

"Since you know, you should know that this was mentioned by Director Jin at the office meeting of the bureau. At that time, our director didn't think there was any suitable candidate before you recommended him, so he agreed and got the approval of the director. .

This matter is also considered as a measure for the Bureau to attract outstanding talents from other provinces. Through these matters, it is also a signal that our Huizhou Province sends to other places.

Later, it was Director Jin who made connections and favors, and did a lot of work, and this matter was mostly finalized.

You should know better that the sports environment in our province is here, and recruiting people and coaches is often not easy.Internal excavation, external introduction, and grasping with both hands are also the current work direction set by the bureau.

So, the thing is done, the signal is released, there can be no result.So, Lu Lin here..."

"Since you said so, should I go to Director Jin? Or go to Director directly?"

Lu Jianguo didn't care too much about explaining. Although he didn't know the cause and effect so clearly, he already knew the person. After he inquired, he knew some details.

But now he doesn't want to think about these so-called plans and directions, and he doesn't even want to think about whether Director Jin's face is still hidden.

What he hopes is that their volleyball can be considered in terms of reality and effectiveness.

Does this mean that we fail the leadership's efforts and veto the leadership's opinions?
He is a coach of a sports team, and he doesn't want to have the awareness to think about it. If he has this awareness, he may already be one of the people sitting in the office.

"You are...how did you screw it up like this!"

Director Jiang said very angrily, but seeing Lu Jianguo's black face, thin and tired, in his 60s, but his face was getting older, he finally sighed softly, and said, "I told you more. Let’s be blunt, it’s still undecided! But now that we’ve come to this point, the possibility is already very high, it’s nothing more than the remuneration in the contract hasn’t been settled yet…”

This time, he spoke directly.

"Lu Lin is a personal choice. Didn't you say that you want to officially build the second team? Let Lu Lin be the head coach of the second team first, and we can also give him the greatest degree of autonomy. Or not, just be the first assistant coach in the provincial team. He is only in his 30s, he is not very old, and the future is still very long, if there are any changes in the future..."

When Director Jiang said this, Lu Jianguo interrupted, "Well, the change is to work for a few years, or one or two years, or one National Games. If it fails, let them go. Then Lu Lin will make up? Yes Bar?"

"You can't see it well? The coach in Suzhou, since you know it, there must be a concept in terms of level, and..."

"Besides, the contacts in China are quite good, right? I just know it, and I only go a few times a few days. Let's put it this way, I really don't think he is suitable for our Huizhou Province. I even think he is no longer suitable to lead Volleyball."

"Director Lu, brother Lu, don't be so arbitrary, you are a little angry with your attitude now!"

"Director Jiang, I'm really not angry. Volleyball is developing, and some ideas have to keep up with the development of the times. I'm over 60, and I've been trying to get in touch with all kinds of new things when I was working before.

Is it really possible to hold on to something that has achieved results and keep it like this? "

"Well, I don't judge others. They have more honor than me, and maybe they have changed now. Let me say something more practical."

"Director Jiang, I won't be on the volleyball team for many days."

Lu Jianguo sighed with regret, but also with desolation.

"How do you say this? Although you said that you want to retire and hand over the shift, you don't mean to leave the team immediately. Didn't you say that the work ahead has just been laid out? You have to continue to help with many things. Without you, I think Straighten out..."

"Director Jiang, I want to too, but it's a pity I can't. It's been a long time, and the family is about to rebel. I can't bear to have my wife and children continue to torture me..."

As he spoke, Lu Jianguo rubbed the edge of his trouser pocket a few times, as if hesitating, and after rubbing a few times, he seemed to have made some decision.

After all, his hand reached into his pocket, and then he took out a stack of papers, and handed it to Director Jiang.

"This is?"

Director Jiang took the paper, looked at Lu Jianguo, who was serious but dejected, with puzzled eyes, and then gently unfolded the paper.

"Ok?"

As the paper was slowly unfolded, Director Jiang's brows twitched involuntarily, he had a very bad premonition!
