The Ball at Your Feet

At the end of the day's training, Deschamps walked into Petit's office and saw a pile of magazines on Petit's desk. He immediately realized that something bad must have happened.

Coach Petit never keeps the things that make the players float. He keeps things that can motivate the players or can be extremely detrimental to the players.

When the article "Cunning Chinese villains-Monaco's mistakes in player selection" appeared in "Viewpoint" magazine, Deschamps was really taken aback.

"I don't know when "View" started to pay attention to football. Isn't they always paying attention to social news? When did sports become the focus of their reports?"

"I'm afraid they are not addressing the moral issues in sports, but the issue of Joey's nationality." Petty was not surprised by this report. "You look at what they wrote and don't you know what they think? 'Countless facts have proved that many Chinese are experts in fraud. They do not have good moral standards, nor are they aware of the consequences of malicious actions that hurt people. This cannot be blamed on them, this is due to their nature. They don’t know football by nature, and they don’t know what morality is. "Seeing these things, do you really don’t understand whether they are targeting Joey or Joey’s identity?" Petty snorted coldly, "Speaking of action. Dirty, Joey just made an action and didn't hurt anyone, but the guy named Van Bommel had black feet in the audience. Why didn't they mention it? It's not because of the skin color."

Deshang smiled helplessly. He also understood a little bit about these things, but he felt that such things were really weird. These guys were too fussy.

"Joy is finally a star now, and he is beginning to attract all kinds of people." Petty smiled bitterly.

There are many media that are not friendly to Chinese in various European countries. France's "Viewpoint" and Germany's "Der Spiegel" are among the best. It's just that these hostility are generally aimed at businessmen and immigrants. Zhao Yaning is just a football player and has nothing to do with economics and politics. Therefore, this kind of thing rarely provokes him in the past. But now, these media are starting to fire on Zhao Yaning, and the reason is somewhat helpless.

"The Chinese have always been a relatively low-key group. They seldom participate in all kinds of things, and there are not many places to find a fire point. Of course, it is precisely because of incompatibility that many people are hostile to them." Petty He sighed helplessly, "Now that Joey has made a mistake and he is a Chinese again, of course they will take the opportunity to make trouble."

After all, Zhao Yaning is now a small well-known player. Not many people knew him when he was out of France, but in this game, he completely blew up a wing in Eindhoven, and he was known to many people. . And since he is famous, someone will naturally trouble him.

"Now these media are all savvy, they will not make racially discriminatory remarks with fanfare. They will only kill, saying that Joey's foul is moral corruption, making a mess of what he said, and then vaguely mentioning it. So, why don’t such good players have good moral qualities? They won’t say that this is because of the players’ personal problems, but has to do with the growth environment and cultural atmosphere. In this way, they will naturally achieve their goals. . And others can’t say that they insulted China, because they are talking about the players on the matter.”

Petit’s tone was a little unkind, “I don’t have any opinion on doing these things, but if you dare to reach out to my team, you are despising me!”

Seeing that Petit was a little angry, Deschamps could only persuade him, "It's not that serious, it's just a few nonsense, and they are not professional football newspapers, what's the big deal..."

"You can read the English "Guardian" and "Daily Telegraph" and you will know why I am angry." Petit sneered twice. "They have political ideas. Regardless of my business, I am a man. Football players can’t control that much. But they poke these words to the English and let the English hype up my players’ character problems, which I can’t bear.”

Only then did Deschamps understand what Petit was angry about. He doesn't care about Zhao Yaning being slandered. What he cares about is that if Zhao Yaning becomes a morally corrupt player under the publicity of the British media, then Zhao Yaning will not want to sell it for a price in the future...

This is the real problem.

"And those Koreans, in person, how good the Korean player said when he accepted the media, saying, "It's just unintentional," "I don't care at all," behind the scenes, people are hurting Joey in the media. It's a mess." Petty said fiercely, "These guys, there isn't a good thing."

"I really understand now why people always say that football makes politics go away." Deschamps said with a wry smile, "And I don't understand. The same is racial discrimination. Why are Japanese and Koreans treated so much better? That South Korea People are played like a fool by Joey, no one has paid attention to his problems."

"Does Joey have so many sponsorships? Your time in Monaco is still too short. I don't know some specific things. I have been in contact with Japan through Arthur. Their handwriting..." Petty smiled bitterly.

After all, countries are different. Because of their different status, they handle many things differently.

For many weak countries, football is part of their national image. For example, in a country like Argentina, football is their only stage of success. After winning the World Cup, Maradona is like winning the Falklands War. Showcasing his majesty, he completely forgot what the war that had just ended was fought by Britain, and turned around and took pride in the hand of God. And the Japanese Prime Minister, because a few European leaders talked about football and ignored him, he was able to return home and make up his mind to engage in football construction. For them, football is a way to show themselves. The Japanese dream of leaving Asia and entering Europe all the time. Naturally, they use Europeans and Americans as a learning model for everything. They are willing to spend money and invest heavily. China is really incomparable in this regard.

But for those powerful countries, that is another matter. Powerful countries do not need to rely on these things to show their status. Japanese Prime Minister will not be able to chat with European leaders and integrate into other circles because they do not understand football, but Chinese leaders do not have to worry about this issue. After all, football is just a sport in China, it is impossible to play it like the Japanese.

"However, even if they are looking for something, what practical impact will it have on us? Moral corruption. If the players are really good enough, the buying team won't care, right?" Deschamps directly picked the topic. It's clear.

"That's because you haven't seen the report of Der Spiegel in Germany. I'll read it for you." Petit took out the newspaper. "The rough idea is to say: We all know that China has no football tradition, and China does not have a football tradition. There is no football atmosphere. It is strange that a football star is born in a country like China. But this problem, as long as we study it carefully, we can know why. What Chinese sports are best at, except for non- The humane training system is their stimulant use. Have they made any new breakthroughs recently? China's pharmacology research may have made new breakthroughs recently, and they have been at the forefront of the world..."

"The Germans accuse others of using doping? The creators of the Berne miracle, the descendants of East Germany, really have the face to talk about doping." Deschamps laughed.

The Germans will also intervene, and Deschamps is not surprised that Germany is the most hostile region towards China, and it is normal for them to do so. But the word prohibition made Deschamps very angry. Everyone knows that if it has something to do with this kind of thing, it will be too difficult for a player to sell his worth.

"No need to say anything else, we have recently been prepared for doping control." Petty snorted coldly. "The German newspaper said very clearly that they suspect that Joey was able to achieve such an achievement. , Is the result of taking banned drugs. It is ironic enough, did the Germans banned drugs too much in those days, and everyone seems to be taking banned drugs?"

Deschamps didn't say anything about this issue. Petty said it a bit extreme. Although he also believed that Zhao Yaning did not take banned drugs, China's reputation for stimulants has never been very good.

China, the United States and Russia are among the top three in comprehensive sports, and they are unmatched in doping.

"Joy won't have any problems with this issue." Deschamps smiled, "You have seen what Joey looked like when he came, and I have also seen him, and now we have all seen his progress. If it is said that doping can make people play well in a game, it is still possible that people can play super-standard in the game for a year, or even more than a year, and make rapid progress, then it is too difficult."

"No problem? You are still too young. They will say that the Chinese have developed new doping agents that cannot be tested, so Joey can play so well."

"In that case, should I accuse Joey of being too selfish and not sharing such good things?" Deschamps smiled bitterly.

"Don't tell me about these things, you know, if this thing is not refuted, Joey's reputation will definitely not improve. Asians are already suspected of potential when playing football, and if they are suspected of using banned drugs, Let alone sell for a price, maybe this life will really be ruined." Petty looked straight, "I can't control what they want, and I don't bother to control it. But I don't want to do anything to my players, I don't accept it. ."

"What can you do?" Deschamps asked rhetorically.

"Help his agent contact organizations like the French Chinese Association~www.ltnovel.com~ and let them go. It's also soft publicity." Petit said, "In fact, if you want to get rid of these words, the best thing is. The way is to show that you have integrated into France. For example, if you find a French woman, or you are naturalized in France, or you can make political-related remarks at both ends, then these people will definitely not say anything..."

"That's a joke." Deschamps retorted, "Joy will definitely not agree."

"Of course I know. So, he has to use other methods. You have to tell Joey that in the next game, he has to show me the level of a star. For these people, the better they can play, Only then can they hurt them more!"

-----------------------------------

When receiving the call from Deschamps, Zhao Yaning was in his home, through his own system, and saw the new card he had obtained from Luo himself.

‘You got the card: Flying Man. Dribbling ability +2.’

The acquisition of this card made Zhao Yaning feel a little unbelievable. After getting this card, his dribbling skills rose again from 18 to the full value of 20.

The technique of dribbling has always been his hardest practice. In two years, he has increased his dribbling technique from 14 to 18, and now, with a card, his dribbling technique has reached 20.

This made him feel a little bit surprised. With this attribute, he originally wanted to rely on his own training to become more satisfied, so that he could be more satisfied.

But now, at times like this, he can't take care of that much.

He didn't expect that he would have a relationship with those media, but he couldn't avoid it. It just happens that my dribbling skills have reached the top level, so I use my performance to shut them up completely.
