The Ball at Your Feet

Zhao Yaning did not expect that the reporters would have come before Christmas. At the end of the day's training, Zhao Yaning was in his home and met the reporter who came to interview him.

"Hello, I am Li Fangqiong, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. I am glad you accepted my interview."

Of course you are very happy. Zhang Yuan couldn't help but say something next to him.

What CCTV wanted for the show was just a five-minute editing, but this group of people just sent a group of five people to Monaco to interview Zhao Yaning. Said it was an interview, but in fact, didn't you see Zhao Yaning spend money and find someone who was taken advantage of? Have you come here to travel?

But since it's here, don't say anything that shouldn't be said anymore.

"Shall we start now? Don't you need to put on makeup?"

Li Fangqiong looked at Zhao Yaning up and down, her eyes immediately made Zhao Yaning disgusted. What are these guys doing? Are they really sports reporters? Does the athlete still need makeup for the interview?

"These are reporters from the special column team, you can cooperate." Zhang Yuan reminded Zhao Yaning from the side. Zhao Yaning nodded, but declined the suggestion of makeup.

"We noticed that when you got home today, it was already five o'clock in the evening, and it is now the winter break. Are you still training?"

The reporter’s tone was calm, and Zhao Yaning’s anxiety was relieved a lot. “Yes, the coach told me that I need to accumulate energy this winter and prepare for the next half of the season, so I now go to the club every day To train."

"You can't ask for leave even for an interview, right?" Li Fangqiong was slightly dissatisfied.

Naturally, her dissatisfaction is justified. She came to Zhao Yaning's house at 10 o'clock in the morning and wanted to interview, but Zhao Yaning was not here. After contacting Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan took them around Monaco for a full circle, and only let them interview Zhao Yaning in the evening. Although they had a great time this day, Zhao Yaning's attitude of not paying attention to them made Li Fangqiong a little unhappy.

She has never received such treatment in the station. When I heard that it was an interview with CCTV, those high-ranking officials, rich people, and celebrities would dare to put on airs for her? Waiting here for a day made her very unhappy.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were here. The coach did not allow us to use the phone in the locker room or on the training ground, so we were cut off from the outside world as soon as we stepped on the training ground. I didn't know until I came back."

This statement made Li Fangqiong's face a little better, "Your coach, is Deschamps?"

"Well, it's Mr. Deschamps." Zhao Yaning nodded and made some explanations. "This rule is to prevent us from training badly when we are in the team. It is very helpful for us."

Li Fangqiong did not refute him, but just wrote it down, "Then, our interview will officially begin. First of all, I would like to ask, you came to France almost two years ago. In these two years, you will be able to gain a foothold in France. It must have gone through a long time of hard work. What impressed you most?"

"The rules of the club are completely different from those in China." Zhao Yaning said after thinking about it. "Our club stipulates diet. We have to weigh every week. There are also rules for rest periods. These things are domestic, but there are other things. Things, domestic clubs do not have regulations. For example, we require no phone calls, no newspapers, no time-consuming things in the locker room. At the same time, in the club, it is stipulated that you must shake hands with your opponents in every game and go to the club every day. The first thing you must do is to greet your teammates. There are also rules for wearing club clothes in public, as well as the use of some titles. These things are very different from those in China. There is no special fix for this kind of thing in China, but here are all very strict."

"What's the use of these things?" Li Fangqiong was puzzled.

"It can make the club's atmosphere better and everyone's relationship better." Zhao Yaning scratched his head. "After transferring to the new club, the most worrying thing is not being able to integrate, but every day in the team, everyone greets you. In training, if you make a good-looking action, your teammates will applaud you. If you score a good goal, your teammates will celebrate. Here, you can easily feel everyone’s kindness and encourage you to play well. Everyone will get acquainted with each other very quickly, and this atmosphere has helped me a lot."

If it is domestic, it is estimated that it is to take the whole team out for a meal, a drink, or even a night out with a woman. Zhang Yuan thought silently beside him, this kind of soft culture difference is actually no smaller than the problem of technical training. It's just this question that the reporter didn't understand.

"Do you think who has been the most helpful to you during this period of time in France?" The reporter asked another question.

"It's hard to tell. Coach Kubis was the first person to appreciate me. He brought me to Ajaccio and was willing to give me the main position. Coach Petit gave me the most technical training. People, he let me know what real football is. And Sebas, who has been my teammate for the past two years, helped me get acquainted with the team and adapt to life. He helped me a lot. And Zhang brother……"

Standing in the distance, Zhang Yuan waved at him and asked him to stop.

"Okay, it seems that you stayed in France well, there are many kind people helping you." The reporter recorded Zhao Yaning's words, "So, when you are in France alone, have you encountered a lot of hardships? For example, racial discrimination or something. It should be difficult for Europeans to accept the yellow race, right?"

This question embarrassed Zhao Yaning, "I'm sorry, the club has regulations. Questions like this involving race, religion, and politics are not allowed to be answered."

Football clubs will always encounter some similar problems. These sensitive topics have nothing to do with sports, but they have a great impact when they are spoken by the players. Although Monaco is not like Spain's Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​such issues are extremely valued, but there are also relevant regulations in the club.

"Isn't it accommodating even in the face of media like Xinhua News Agency?" Li Fangqiong smiled.

It's okay to others, especially you can't talk nonsense. You are China Central Television, what if I put a big hat on me to instigate race relations or something?

"There are no exceptions. Football has nothing to do with politics. These things are not allowed to be mentioned. And there is nothing to say about these aspects, they are all very good."

Zhao Yaning still didn't dare not say nothing at all, so he could only try to say a little bit sideways. But this kind of attitude made Li Fangqiong very dissatisfied. She snorted and continued to say, "Then, let's talk about the national team. You should know that Yao Ming of the Basketball Association signed an agreement with the national team. , Listen to the call of the national team at any time, the World Championships, the Asian Games, the Olympic Games are willing to return to China at any time. Why did you not sign a similar agreement with the Football Association?"

Zhao Yaning didn't know how to answer this question. He talked to Zhang Yuan about this issue, and the two people discussed it very clearly at the time: This kind of agreement can be verbal, but it cannot be on paper. After all, the NBA is just an American professional basketball league and has little power. Yao Ming wants to return to China to participate in the game. They can't control it, nor are they qualified to control it. But in football circles, this is not enough. Who knows what the coach thinks? What if the coach just won’t let anyone go after signing this contract? The Football Association is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful the Football Association is, there are AFC and FIFA in charge of it. The Football Association is under the management of the General Administration of Sports on the one hand, and they don’t care about it on the other, but Zhao Yaning dare not bother. Offended, this kind of important matter is not the Football Association's final say.

"Sports are different, and the situation is different." Zhao Yaning could only get through this question vaguely. "But when the national team needs me, I am absolutely obliged."

The reporter nodded and wrote these down, "Then, can I ask one more question about things other than football. You know, domestic fans care about you, and many people want to know more about you." Would you like to disclose some personal information to us?"

"This..." Zhao Yaning looked at Zhang Yuan's gestures, "No problem."

"Your income is already very high now. Have you ever thought of doing something to repay the society, the country, and repay your hometown elders for the kindness of nurturing you?"

Zhao Yaning could see that Zhang Yuan's face sank not far away. But he is willing to talk about this issue, "Well, I thought about it. I can't help much with other things. I just want to set up a football training base in China and train some players. I know Some of the Africans are doing this, and I also want to learn their methods and make some contributions to the country."

"Our country is not Africa. I don't think you need to pay for this money. It is enough that you can use your reputation to make some contributions to the country." Li Fangqiong continued, "Then, talk about your private life. Is it? Everyone is very concerned about these too."

"It's no big deal, it's normal training, competition, and then go home to rest..."

"What about entertainment?" Li Fangqiong asked, "For example, playing computer games or something? And what do you usually eat in France? Do you have any favorite dishes?"

"Entertainment activities are playing table tennis or billiards. These things are available in the Ratubi Base. Then they sometimes go out to ride a bicycle. I don't think there is much fun, so I don't want to go." Zhao Yaning tried to recall his own Thing, "What we eat is generally to eat nutritious meals at the base. The coach does not allow us to eat randomly. However, the nutritious meals are very good. Recently, the coach found a place that sells spaghetti and is responsible for cooking for us."

Li Fangqiong recorded these ~www.ltnovel.com~ and then raised her head again, "Very well, thank you, so, can you talk about your personal issues? Do you have a girlfriend? Would you like to reveal something about her? "

"Yes." Zhao Yaning still blushed when he said this, "but I can't talk about her. She won't let me talk."

Zhang Yuan sighed, embarrassed and thrown all over the country. Is there any **** in such things like that?

"In this case, then I have nothing to ask. In the end, I wish you good results in France and play even better." Li Fangqiong talked with Zhao Yaning for a while before bidding farewell to Zhao Yaning and leaving with Zhang Yuan. Zhao Yaning’s home.

"What the **** is going on with him?" Li Fangqiong's expression changed as soon as he left Zhao Yaning's house. "What is the club not to say? The club is so important, more important than us? Let's wait not to talk, not to talk to us. Say! We are journalists, what can’t be said! We are helping him, why he still has so many problems! His attitude is problematic. How can we treat interviews with this attitude? We interviewed in the upper part, but there is nothing. People dare to speak to us like this."

Zhang Yuan cursed the street secretly in his heart, why didn't you say these words just now? You know that Zhao Yaning has been set up as a special program. You can't provoke Zhao Yaning, so take me as an agent to exasperate, don't you?

But you are quite right to be angry, I really can't afford you.

Zhang Yuan accompanied the smiling face, and it took a long time for Li Fangqiong to put off the fire, "However, we have another task tomorrow. We have to go to the Monaco club and interview Deschamps and the assistant coach. You can arrange it."

Me to arrange? What do I arrange for the Monaco club? You look down on me too much.

Zhang Yuan muttered a few words silently in his heart, but he also knew that he had to do it himself.

I hope nothing goes wrong.
