Chapter 198 The agreement between Chen Ran and the national football team? (4K)

PS: I updated 8K today, is it still okay?

……

The fierce battle between the world’s eighth and the world’s seventh!

Chen Ran ushered in his third Masters final!

It stands to reason that Chinese journalists who have already seen a lot of information should not be as excited as when Chen Ran reached the finals of the Masters for the first time.

But the fact is that the reporters at the scene were still dancing and jumping excitedly.

Maybe this is the charm of competitive sports!
In the pursuit of the glory of competitive sports, we will never stop and we will never be satisfied.

Just like when Djokovic won the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th Grand Slam, and the 39th and 40th Masters championships, he and his team, as well as the reporters in Serbia, would still Extremely excited.

So this is the third Masters final, and it is also the first clay-court Masters. It should be crazy or crazy.

Starting from the second set, Chen Ran, who was under tremendous pressure, could finally release himself.

In the third set, Chen Ran felt that he was almost on the verge of elimination countless times.

So what should he do now?
A picture flashed through Chen Ran's mind, still about Djokovic.

Then tear up the jersey as much as you want!
Ripping off his jersey is the best way to vent his emotions, and it has almost become a unique way of celebration for Djokovic.

"Xiao De, you were the player I admired most in my previous life. But this time, I won't be polite to steal your patent."

After Chen Ran hurriedly shook hands with Novak, while the other player was stunned, he directly tore off his jersey in front of the audience, revealing his strong chest muscles.

He seemed to be venting his dissatisfaction to the audience.

Because in the anxious stage of the tie-break, almost all the Spanish spectators at the scene were cheering for Novak, allowing Chen Ran to experience the away treatment.

This is not because these Spaniards have a "European Community" consciousness, they simply do not want Ferrero from their country to meet Chen Ran in the final.

In the eyes of these Spaniards, Novak is obviously easier to deal with than Chen Ran.

I'm in a great mood!
Those controversies, those attacks, those chaos, can finally calm down for a while!

Those Chen Hei people on the Internet must be very depressed, right?
To take a step back, even if Chen Ran lost the final.The results of this Madrid Masters are enough to dazzle the entire Asian tennis community and shut up those doubters.

Chen Ran first tore off his jersey to vent his emotions for a while, then put on a new jersey and accepted an interview with the host.

"Chen, first of all, congratulations."

"After the Hard Court Masters, Asian players finally appeared in the finals of the Clay Masters."

Chen Ran had regained his composure after celebrating.

Well...I have already vented all my emotions that need to be vented.

In short, I am very happy, but the Spaniards are very unhappy.

I just made it to the finals, not the championship.

"I think this day will come sooner or later, and other Asian players will reach this point without me." Chen Ran said very modestly, hands on hips.

His appearance was in sharp contrast to his previous demeanor where he was tearing off his clothes and roaring angrily.

Is this really a person?

"Your opponent in the final is Ferrero, what do you want to say?" the host asked the second question.

Chen Ran suddenly looked up and glanced at the night sky full of stars, and seemed to think for a while.

"This is the second time we've played against each other, right? But it's the first time on clay."

Chen Ran paused, organized his words, and said with a serious face: "Mr. Ferrero, Asian tennis needs this Masters champion very much, so I will definitely do my best."

The host was a little confused: "Why do you say that? Because of your relationship, Asian players have already won two Masters championships. Are they still so eager to win the Madrid Masters?"

"You know, there is no Masters on grass." Chen Ran shrugged and said slowly, "I just counted silently. Players from Europe, Oceania, America and Africa have all won Masters on clay and hard courts. Champion.” (After all, white South Africans are considered Africans)
"We are the only Asian players who have only won the hard-court Masters championship, but have not yet won the clay-court Masters. This is a pity and a defect."

"If I win the Madrid Masters, then the territory of the tennis world will be complete, right?"

What is the logic?How could you even say that?

And aren’t you the only Asian player who has won the Hard Court Masters Championship?Don't beat around the bush for me!

You Chinese are so good at raising banners!

Why not say that no country other than European and South American teams has ever won the Football World Cup.

Of course, it is impossible for the host to blatantly say something like "I don't want Asian players to win the Clay Court Masters".

"The wish is very beautiful!" the host said with a smile, but his mind was complaining that "the reality must be cruel."

He continued to speak to the audience: "But whether we can do it depends on whether our number one player in Spain agrees. Mr. Juan Ferrero is much better on clay courts than on hard courts."

"Of course I know." Chen Ran smiled slightly.

After finishing the post-match interview, Chen Ran hurried to the media area where Chinese reporters gathered.

At the same time, he quietly opened the attribute panel and glanced at the attribute values.

Sure enough, after this will and spirit coaching, Chen Ran's mental attribute value improved a little, reaching 85.

Technical attributes are 87, physical attributes are 86, and mental attributes are 85.

This means that Chen Ran's three attribute values ​​have reached the level of a world-class player.

The next step is to become a top or even giant player.

Chen Ran has already played against three of the four players: Agassi, Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, leaving only Djokovic.

However, Djokovic is not that kind of precocious player. Chen Ran estimates that it is unlikely that he will meet him in a major competition within a few years, so for the time being, he can only focus on the other three people, especially now that there are more Young Nadal.

"Old Zhou, what's my real-time ranking?" Chen Ran said hello to Zhou Yuan after walking to the media area.

After entering the finals of the Madrid Masters, Chen Ran earned 600 guaranteed ATP points.

"The rankings are out!" Zhou Yuan clenched his fists with excitement in his eyes, "Your current total points are 3723 points, ranking sixth!"

Sixth?
Before the start of the competition, Chen Ran ranked eighth.

After reaching the finals, the ranking only improved by 2 places.

But this is normal. The further you get to the later stages, the more points you need to improve your ranking.

Think about the Grand Slam points, the champion and the runner-up, the runner-up and the semi-finals, the semi-finals and the quarter-finals...

Every step forward is a world of difference.

"Chen Ran, if you win one more game, you can enter the TOP5!" Zhou Yuan continued.

The top five in the world and the top ten in the world are two completely different concepts.

But Chen Ran took this very lightly and said disapprovingly: "If you are fifth, you will be the 5th seed. The treatment will be the same as the 8th seed, but it will be different from the top four seeds."

After all, in Grand Slam competitions, the top four seeds are each in a quarter. "There is still a chance at the Rome Masters. You don't have the pressure to deduct points anyway." Zhou Yuan reminded.

"That's right." Chen Ranyan responded insincerely.

However, in his plan, regardless of whether he can win the Madrid Masters or not, the Rome Masters is just a formality.

Roland Garros, Chen Ran’s goal is very clear.

He won't give up on this somewhat illusory ranking and go to the Rome Masters to work hard.

Of course, only he and the coach know this, and it is impossible to reveal anything to the outside world.

Chen Ran was about to return to the locker room when another reporter wearing glasses stopped him, but this guy was a bit unfamiliar.

"Hello, Chen Ran!" The man with glasses introduced himself, "I am Liu Tong, a reporter from "Football News"!"

In China, "Football News" is a sports newspaper as famous as "Sports Weekly".

"Football News" is very influential. Although they mainly report football news, they also occasionally report other sports news.

However, Chen Ran looked at the glasses man cautiously and replied: "What's the matter with you? Shouldn't you be reporting on Real Madrid?"

"I am stationed in Spain and responsible for reporting on Real Madrid news. But..." Liu Tong changed the subject, "I can also write about other sports. Not to mention that you are also closely related to football? "

"Then what's your problem?" Chen Ran was a little curious, but of course also very cautious.

I don’t know what a football reporter can ask.

Ever since the "Golden Slam" scandal broke out last time, Chen Ran has actually kept a low profile recently.

Normally, the chairman of the Football Association has already complained to the director of the Tennis Management Center, so Director Sun Jinfang should have a talk with Chen Ran who caused the trouble.

After all, Chen Ran is nominally a member of the Chinese national tennis team and is on the list preparing for the Olympics.

But what was a little surprising was that Director Sun never came to Chen Ran. He just sent a message asking him to play well and not be disturbed by external factors.

This means that Director Sun is facing the pressure from the Football Association leaders alone and does not want to let this matter affect Chen Ran.

But Sun Jinfang can't control these football reporters who travel all over the world.

"Chen Ran, you have achieved such brilliant results now and have become the banner of Chinese sports. Can you say some words of encouragement to the national football players?" When the man with glasses spoke, he directly handed the microphone to Chen Ran.

At this time, several other Chinese reporters also gathered around.

Some were holding microphones, and some were holding recorders, with hopeful expressions on their faces.

"Why should I tell you?" Chen Ran pretended to be confused.

In fact, he knew very well that these footnotes were going to cause trouble again.

Among Chinese sports reporters, these football reporters are the most capable of getting things done.

When they interview Chen Ran, they first praise the other person and make him feel happy, and then they say some "groundbreaking" words.

Just a 17-year-old boy, what kind of city can he have?

"Because you are the banner of Chinese sports!" The man with glasses repeated again, "The results you have achieved can make all the national football players look up to you."

"Let me think about it..." Chen Ran cursed in his heart, his face still looking innocent and harmless.

After a short while, he finally spoke slowly: "As you know, I have always liked watching football games and am a die-hard football fan. So I want to say..."

Is there such a thing?The reporter's eyes began to sparkle.

That's even better!
Chinese football fans all like to give pointers, and Chen Ran is certainly no exception.

Therefore, the previous "Golden Slam" remarks are also traceable. Perhaps Chen Ran said this because he hated iron and was deeply disappointed with Chinese football?

"What I said last time was really just a joke." Chen Ran showed a hint of "apology".

After all, we can't let Director Sun be under pressure all the time, right? As the hero of the women's volleyball team's five consecutive championships, Chen Ran will take the blame when he comes here.

"I hope the national football team will get better and better! I sincerely wish they can win the Asian Cup in their home country next year! I hope they can break into the 2006 World Cup in Germany!"

"By the way, I will go to the Athens Olympics next year, and I also hope to see the Olympic football team in the Olympics."

Today's National Olympic football team is hailed as the "Super Platinum Generation" by these shameless football reporters. In fact, it is almost the same as the "Melatonin Generation".

"Brother, please give me a message and bring it to the leaders of the Football Association." Chen Ran looked serious and sincere.

"You tell me!" The man with eyes nodded seriously, "I will help you with the message."

It was impossible for him to think that he, a human being, would fall into the trap deliberately set by Chen Ran.

"I believe that both the national football team and I have a bright future!"

"We agreed to appear in next year's Olympics!"

"You win the Asian Cup, and I try to win a Grand Slam!"

"You make it to the World Cup in Germany, and I will try to get into the top three in the world rankings!"

"In short, let's work together for a better future for Huaxia Sports."

"I don't like war of words."

"That's what I want to say."

Several football reporters, including the man with glasses, were in a daze for a long time. They really didn't expect that Chen Ran's words would be so touching and true.

They originally wanted to cause trouble, but they didn't expect this result.

"Can you bring my words?" Chen Ran looked sincere.

"Yes!" The man with glasses nodded seriously.

Under the public gaze, it was impossible for him to add fuel to the fire.

After all, other reporters, including CCTV, will report today’s news truthfully.

It seems that Chen Ran is actively seeking peace?It’s so boring!

"Then I'll go back to the locker room first!"

No one noticed that when Chen Ran turned to leave, he cursed secretly: In Madrid, I not only have to deal with tennis reporters and entertainment reporters, but now there are also a lot of troublesome football reporters!
Of course, he is digging a hole again. This is actually a way of riding a tiger with difficulty.

Chen Ran used the banner of "working hard for the future of Chinese sports", and those Football Association leaders had to make an appointment even if they didn't want to.

But the result?Chen Ran's agreement was all fulfilled, but all the agreements made by the Football Association leaders were in vain.

That's fun!
This strategy can not only put things at ease, but also turn the guests around in the future.
