Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 578 What, let me be a coach at the Yanjing Olympics?
"This American guy is such a fucking bad mouth!" Chen Ran cursed inwardly.

But he couldn't do much about the other party. After all, the hosts of this country might be more exaggerated when making fun of American athletes.

For example, Roddick had already been ridiculed by them.

But he has been among the top five players in the world for a long time.

Of course, those sports fans on the Chinese Internet were also excited.

After all, in this era, under the spotlight of Chen Ran and Zheng Jie, Sister Na still doesn’t have many fans.

Chen Ran has many fans, Ivanovic has many fans, and there are also a few CP fans.

They were so happy.

"You see, Chen Ran is the best in the world even as a coach."

"With just a few simple pointers, my girlfriend was able to turn defeat into victory."

"Ivanovic can definitely turn the tide in this game."

These CP fans are really crazy and arrogant, and have attracted a lot of hatred.

Some netizens couldn't stand it any longer: "Even if you want to cheer for the foreign players, just cheer them on in your heart. You're just asking for trouble by making the whole country know about it."

There was a huge uproar on the Internet.

During the game, Ivanovic won the second set 6-3 with the help of the break just now.

In the third set, both sides played very tensely.

It was not until the match entered the twelfth game that Li Na made the same old mistake of being more likely to self-destruct at critical moments, and her opponent seized the opportunity to break her serve.

7 is better than 5!

Ivanovic completed the reversal with great difficulty and ultimately avoided being upset by his opponent.

As a top seed, he was almost eliminated.

After the game, she was so excited that she cried.

As for her team in the private room, most people were clenching their fists excitedly.

Only the core of the team, Chen Ran, had a look of confusion.

He knew that the damn camera was pointing at him again.

"I believe Chen Ran is not only the best player in the world, but also the best coach in the world." The American host continued to joke, "I'm just curious about how he will face his teammates after he returns to the national team?"

"But the next national team competition will be the Yanjing Olympics in two years, which is still a long time away. This should be good news."

Does this American think he is very humorous?

But then again, the next national team competition will not be the Yanjing Olympics in two years, but the Asian Games in Doha, Qatar in two months.

Of course, an American tennis commentator might not even know there is such a thing as the Asian Games, so he simply ignored it.

From Chen Ran's perspective, he felt very helpless.

In order to avoid unnecessary criticism from the outside world, he originally hoped that Ivanovich could resolve the battle with his own abilities.

But who would have thought that Li Na would perform so well today, pushing her opponent to the brink of elimination.

Looking at his girlfriend's pitiful eyes, Chen Ran had to speak up and give some advice.

“Do I really have the talent to be a coach?”

Chen Ran suddenly thought, "Does this mean I'm better than Jordan?"

After all, Jordan was a great player, but he was a terrible boss in managing the team.

But generally speaking, Chen Ran would not act as a coach to guide others.

This stuff is too laborious.

"Director Sun must be in great pain at this moment. His favorite female disciple was eliminated just like that, and under my command." Chen Ran thought helplessly. He even felt a little sympathy for Director Sun.

This elder sister is a nice person and has always kept her promise.

I don’t know what the International Tennis Association is doing. The Davis Cup, which is like a useless thing, is held every year.

This is a men's tennis team competition, but the quality of this event is far less than that of the Masters.

Fortunately, Director Sun followed the agreement with Chen Ran and never asked him to accompany a group of stupid teammates to participate in the Davis Cup, which made Chen Ran grateful.

If the Tennis Association really asked Chen Ran to play in the Davis Cup, it would be difficult for Chen Ran to refuse.

Not to mention that he is a solo self-employed athlete, those athletes from European and American countries are all self-financing players, but they cannot refuse the call of the national team and take the initiative to participate in these competitions.

Even Federer often represents Switzerland in Davis Cup competitions.

The second brother of Switzerland, Stan Wawrinka, is no exception.

It’s just that the guy in flowery pants has his own pride and has always refused to form a doubles partner with Federer.

So among the top players in the world, Chen Ran is the most comfortable because he has never participated in the Davis Cup.

Although he is going to participate in the Asian Games, this competition is held once every four years and is basically a bully match, which does not consume much physical energy at all.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran looked at Director Sun with some gratitude.

But if you don’t know this, you will be shocked when you see it.

I thought Director Sun, as her leader, would be unhappy because Li Na was defeated, but I didn't expect that she had a smile on her lips that she herself could hardly notice, as if she was thinking about something.

He nodded from time to time, showing a look of satisfaction.

"What happened?"

Although Chen Ran was somewhat curious, he did not delve into it further.

After the game, he left the stands with his team members.

However, when Chen Ran returned to the hotel lobby, Director Sun found him.

Originally, Chen Ran thought that the other party would mention the matter of the previous game, but the other party did not mention it. Instead, he brought up something that greatly surprised Chen Ran.

"what?"

"Let me be the head coach of the Chinese national tennis team?"

"I'm a player, how can that be possible?"

"Nothing says that players can't be part-time head coaches! Don't worry, I will give you an extra salary. Of course, I know you don't care about that." Director Sun said in a firm tone, "I promise it won't affect your usual competitions. After all, in the sport of tennis, there are very few events related to the national team."

"During this year's Asian Games, you served as the head coach and gave guidance to the national team players for less than half a month."

"It's a warm-up for the Beijing Olympics two years later."

Chen Ran replied: "What about the Olympics in two years?"

"The Beijing Olympics in two years will be very special. I'll have to trouble you, Xiao Chen. By then, after Wimbledon is over, there will still be one month before the Beijing Olympics."

"During this period, you will be in charge of coaching all the male and female players in their training and matches. It will only take about a month. This is the only time in your life that you can do this."

"I believe you are the most suitable candidate to coach the national tennis team at this moment."

Chen Ran was actually somewhat tempted, and he asked again: "Are you sure it's only during the Beijing Olympics, and I won't be responsible for it after that."

"Yes, only during the Yanjing Olympics. After that, we will find another coach."

Although the result was unexpected, it was still a good experience.
