The Ball at Your Feet

The Chinese team lost all three World Cup games and was out with zero points.

This news is undoubtedly somewhat difficult for the Chinese football community to accept.

From rushing out of Asia to the world for the first time, the Chinese team ushered in the peak, to the loss of all three games, the bottom of zero points, and the early exit of the group stage. This situation is unacceptable to anyone related to football.

When receiving this news, Beibei was looking at her review materials, and when she learned the news from Zhang Jun's mouth, she just shrugged, "I see."

"Lost, Turkey, which lost 0-3, is completely defeated."

Zhang Jun was still talking about it, but Beibei just stretched out her finger and made a mute gesture.

"Don't you care?" Zhang Jun asked.

"Ning Zi called yesterday and said that he would not be in this game. Since he is not going, what else should I care about? I don't like football, and you don't know."

Beibei's calm attitude made Zhang Jun not know what to say. After a moment of silence, he remembered what the crux of the problem was, "You knew it yesterday. Ning Zi was injured?"

"Well, he told me that he was injured." Beibei nodded. "Isn't this a common thing? He said that injuries from playing football are common."

"Yes, but he was injured. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought he could play well again and lead the Chinese team to the knockout stage."

"I want to tell you, you and Li Ke have been playing truant for these two days, and I can't find you." At this point, Beibei put down the pen in her hand and said, "You guys should converge a little bit, and the college entrance examination will be completed soon. , Just a few days later, I still know how to play every day. Isn’t it OK to play after the exam? Also, what does it matter to you if he doesn’t get on? You won’t be buying the sports lottery, right? Lost it?"

Zhang Jun smiled and stopped arguing with her. "What kind of injury did Ningzi suffer? Is it serious? I saw that he was injured and he was not even on the bench list. I don't know what the injury was. ."

"He didn't tell me either, maybe it was because I was worried." Bei Bei pouted, obviously dissatisfied with it, "but he said it's not serious. Go to Beijing to check it, and then you can go home."

"How can you not be able to play if you are not heavy?" Zhang Jun didn't believe it at all. "This is a national team game."

"You ask me, how do I know? But what he said is not serious. He said that he will come back to see me in a short time, and when he sees me, he promises nothing."

"If it's okay, that would be weird." Zhang Jun touched his chin, "Something must have happened."

Beibei blinked and said nothing.

In Beijing at this time, Zhang Yuan was holding two X-rays and comparing them in detail, and the more he looked down, the more he shook his head.

"It's a wicked one. You are obviously injured in this movie, and you still can't bear it lightly. How can you grow up in just a few days? Even a gecko can take a while to grow its tail."

Zhao Yaning sat beside him without saying a word. He knew that it would be better to explain less about this kind of supernatural phenomenon. No one said anything, but if you lie, you will definitely not be able to tell the truth.

Zhang Yuan took the fractured X-ray film, after thinking for a moment, he decided to put it away, "I won’t ask you how you did it. Anyway, after asking you several times, you won’t say it. I will keep this thing. Now, there may be a problem in your hands. But don't mention this to the outside world, just say that you are recuperating. Otherwise, let others know that you are not playing the national team for fraudulent injuries, and you just wait for your ruin. "

"I didn't swindle, it's obviously them..."

"Okay, don't tell me this." Zhang Yuan interrupted him, "I know what's going on with them, I know better than you. Don't look at you staying in the national team every day, but your head is full of football, this I don’t know much about the inside."

"You can't get out because of this."

Zhang Yuan opened his mouth, but still shook his head with a wry smile, "Maybe. I really don't think much about playing football. But these things of mine are very useful for you now."

"Then have you checked, who is it that tricked me?"

Zhao Yaning’s eyes were a little hopeful, but Zhang Yuan did not tell him the answer, “It’s not the specific person who counted on you, but the entire national team, and even the entire Chinese football world. They need you to be injured, and you can’t participate in the third game. Only in the game can the Chinese team'say goodbye' to the World Cup, and it can be seen that the Chinese team did not fail because of lack of strength, and only then can the Chinese people have hope...

"Can Chinese fools fans continue to pay for them?" Zhao Yaning added.

Zhang Yuan was stunned and nodded, "In fact, the main thing is to let the leaders keep their black hats. The leaders of the Football Association don't care about making money. But for the team and the players, this is indeed the case. Only the Chinese team has no people. They are completely desperate to continue to make money. Not only the team makes money, but also the sponsors. If the Chinese team loses and can't fight back, wouldn't the value of the sponsor's endorsement contract also be discounted?"

Zhao Yaning snorted softly, and then asked, "There must be a leader, right?"

"Knowing this is not good for you. At least for now, you have nothing to do with them." Zhang Yuan refused to tell Zhao Yaning the name, "You are a straight-tempered, can't hide things, can't tell you."

"Then I can't swallow this tone for nothing." Zhao Yaning retorted.

"Of course not. I went to the Football Association to pass it through, and they said, they will introduce you to a large endorsement contract. And I have also passed the ward of those people. Although they can't come up with anything practical, I have also said that if you have any orders in the future..."

"What kind of venting is this?" Zhao Yaning heard this and already shouted, "What I want is to find out the real murderer, and then explode his name, so that the whole country will spurn him."

"What good is that for you?" Zhang Yuan asked, "You have no benefit at all, at most you have a nasty breath. And you have offended a lot of villains. If these villains conspiracy against you behind their backs, you can do it in the future. The trouble is big. You don’t care about the national team's performance or something-there is nothing to care about, anyway, you don’t care about anything else. But other things, sponsorship contracts or something, you don’t care about it? Well, you are high-minded and don’t care about money. Okay! But what about your reputation? They are all connected to the media. You expose them. It's easy, but it's easy for them to spread rumors to you. If they spread rumors outside and say you're okay to mess with women, don’t train seriously, and compete. Passive sabotage, the national team fraudulently injured, the team playing big cards, don't you care?"

Zhao Yaning flushed, but still opened his mouth fiercely, "I don't care anymore, what can I do? Anyway, I have a fair view of how I played."

"What about those who are unjust? Also, what if they not only make your rumors, but also talk about people around you? If they say that your girlfriend is clinging to fame and fortune, that your parents are open to money, and that your friends are all Social scum..."

"They dare!"

"Why don't they dare? What can you do to them?" Zhang Yuan asked, "Sue? They are eager."

Zhao Yaning was speechless. He really cannot do anything to the media. He can refute at most two sentences, but how effective can his words be? The media is in the hands of others, and those sports reporters are all pointing to the Chinese players to eat. Who would offend the Chinese football circle for a person who is far away in France and how many days of the news?

"So, don't fight with them. You are just a person, and you can't compete with the rules of the world. No matter how good you are, you will have bad luck if you don't follow the rules."

"How long do I have to endure?" Zhao Yaning cursed and asked again.

"When, when you become the eldest brother, you can naturally come by your temper." Zhang Yuan said to him, "I said that the day will be longer, that's the reason."

Zhang Yuan explained to Zhao Yaning: Now, because of his hat-trick against Brazil, Zhao Yaning has become famous overnight. In addition to the commercial benefits that this fame has brought him, it can also bring him many tangible benefits. For example, now, he can rely on this fame to bargain with the national team a lot.

And Zhang Yuan's advice to him is to let him mix well in the Olympic team anyway.

"You are only 18 this year and you are still young enough. The group of people in the national team are your elder brothers and rely on sufficient qualifications. But if you can stay in the national team long enough, the Olympic group will be promoted. , They are also your little brother. If you handle it well enough, you will be the well-deserved boss of the future national team."

Zhang Yuan’s opinion made Zhao Yaning slightly astonished, “I don’t want to be a big brother. I just don’t want to have many factions in the national team and rank in terms of seniority.”

"When you have that identity, you can't say anything too much. But before you have that identity, saying everything is wrong."

Zhang Yuan said mercilessly, "Don't always think that you can reverse the phenomena of the entire football world with your own effort. You can't do it. Let alone you, no one can do it. This industry is up and down. It involves countless people and countless interests. It is not a simple competitive sport at all."

"Don’t say anything else, you know, the seaside team is looking for land in the province to build a team, the land is approved, and then changed into a hotel. Who will benefit? Only the team? Don’t be funny. Now, how can it be done? Besides, if you were injured this time, you thought it would be better if you stabbed it out? Someone might be involved in it. Seeing you are so disobedient, you must be dealt with."

"Chinese football is like this. The management is bureaucratic, investors are businessmen, and the life of playing football is not guaranteed. The upper level thinks about how to get promoted, investors think about short-term profit and benefit, and those who play football think about how to maintain their lives and honor Let’s play. Strength, let’s play.” Zhang Yuan sneered, “What do you want to do against them? You have to have that status. You have a reputation, and this reputation can’t come from the Football Association. People have connections, This network must be related to your immediate interests. If you have money, you must be able to withstand the challenges of consumption, and finally you must have determination and luck. If these things are missing, you won’t be able to win, even if it looks like If you win, they will change to another leader and continue to play. What about you? If you fail, it is very likely that you will be overwhelmed."

"Is there no other way?" Zhao Yaning asked softly.

"Yes. Go abroad, go abroad to play football, stay away from them. Even if you take your parents abroad and get a foreign nationality yourself, the national team will definitely not recruit you, and you will be at ease in a foreign country. went."

Zhao Yaning shook his head, he couldn't do such a thing. In any case, when it comes to getting a foreign nationality and hiding quietly abroad, he can't do it.

He never considered himself a hero, and never flaunted himself as a great person, but he at least knew that he was a man and he had to be a man. If you play football by yourself, then no matter how weak the national team is, you have to find a way, instead of leaving it alone and turning a blind eye to the national team.

George Weah gave everything for the national team, Maradona tried to lose weight for the national team, and Romario was in tears after losing the national team-these people were all thumbs up when they were raised. Trezeguet joined the French nationality, he won the European Cup, occupied the main position in Juventus, and achieved honors that far surpassed Argentine strikers Batistuta and Crespo. But when everyone talks about him, who would give him a few words of praise for leaving Argentina and becoming a French citizen?

Honor is good, but besides honor, there is another thing called responsibility. Since you are in China, you have to play for China. If the Chinese team fails to join other national teams, it is called bullying and fearing hardship and being irresponsible.

If the national team fails, naturalize to other countries. If the club fails, I will go to another big club to play. In Serie A to play for Juventus, to La Liga for Real Madrid, to the Premier League to play for Manchester United, to the Bundesliga for Bayern, the national team will find a way to play for a certain football power-even if it is honorable? It's just stealing the honor of others and lying on other honor books.

"Since you don't want this machine, you have to join in. Have you ever gambled? It's like this now. Do you want to win? You have to go to the table before talking. If you can't get to the table, you have to say nothing. What you need to do now It’s just going to the table. When you have too much chips in your hand, even if others owe you, then you say that gambling is not good, and the previous sum is cancelled. Only then will someone listen. Before that, you can say it. It’s ruining everyone’s wealth and interest. You are looking for bad luck."

"Only relying on the Olympic team, can I stand up?"

"Of course it's not just the Olympic team, but the Olympic team is indeed one of them. After all, they should be the prototype of the future national team. Having a good relationship with them means that you have established your status in the national team." Zhang Yuan explained. In his view, "You need to win over these people to ensure your status in the national team. At the same time, because of your World Cup goals, you are in the national team. For the time being, you don’t have to worry about someone’s performance overshadowing you, as long as your club’s performance If you have to go a little bit, no one can shake your position in the Chinese football team. If you stay for another year or two, no one in the country can oppose you anymore. At that time, you can talk to the coach with confidence. That’s enough. Talking with the Football Association also has capital. How do you want to do it, isn’t it up to you?"

Zhang Yuan moved Zhao Yaning this time, and after a long while, he nodded in agreement.

"So, I have to listen to me now, continue to please the big brother, please the Football Association, and continue to pretend to be nonchalant in order to succeed."

"The Chinese Football Association treats me this way, do I have to continue to please them?" Zhao Yaning frowned again. It doesn't matter if you win players. Everyone earns hard money. The Football Association is so unreliable. Do you still need to please them?

"What's the matter? You count on the Chinese Football Association to do things for you alone, and everything will revolve around you? Is that possible?" Zhang Yuan raised his head, "The Chinese Football Association is really nothing, but can you tell me which country? Are the football associations of England a thing? The British Football Association? The French Football Association? Or the Italian Football Association? All are not things. Where football associations are all politicians, politicians are not good people, but because they are not good people, ignore them, you just can’t find for yourself. Happy."

Zhang Yuan's words are indeed reasonable. No country is too clean for things like the Football Association. The French Football Association has been wrangling with the league for many years, and the FA's notoriety is even more famous all over the world. Not to mention some South American football associations. Brazil is an example. The Football Association can’t afford to provoke clubs, and the league is reformed every day. At the most, there were 97 teams participating in the Brazilian league. At the least, there were only more than 20 teams. This kind of chaos is the only one in the world.

"But other people's Football Association is not something like the Chinese Football Association." Zhao Yaning felt angry after thinking about it. "It is theirs for the results, and the players if they are responsible? What is this?"

Zhao Yan would rather no matter what other people's football associations are like. Could it be that if there is something worse than you, you are just as bad as you? Moreover, the Football Association of any country has never tried to take credit with the team. It has never been heard that after a country has made a result, the Football Association regards the person who draws the lottery as the first hero, and no one has heard of it. There must be the leadership of the Football Association to assign tasks and stipulate strategic deployment. The Chinese team is the only one to do this.

"Bureaucratic? They must be like this." Zhang Yuan laughed. "You still have a short time in the national team. During this time, Milu's coaching performance in the national team is good, but I can't see anything. Wait until When the national team's performance is poor, the Football Association can make a fool of it to get angry."

"Anyway, I have never seen a department more wicked than the Chinese Football Association."

Zhao Yaning's words only made Zhang Yuan laugh, "That's because you are short-sighted. Do you watch basketball? Do you know that the tall guy who plays in Shanghai is called Yao Ming?"

Zhao Yaning shook his head. He doesn't like basketball. Apart from football, he also looks at table tennis. He didn't understand other sports and didn't want to watch it.

"If you have time to check it out. You will be considered a celebrity in the sports world in the future. You have to flatter Yao Ming. Does it make you famous by flattering each other." Zhang Yuan casually said, "Yao Ming is going to the NBA to play basketball-that is, to play basketball in the United States. . Know what the Basketball Association has set for him?"

Zhao Yaning shook his head, and Zhang Yuan opened his mouth, "50% of the income will be turned over to the Basketball Association, 10% will be given to the parent team, and the rest will go to the individual."

This made Zhao Yaning's eyes widened, but Zhang Yuan nodded, "Think about it, who is darker? Although the Football Association is a bastard, it is still far behind some bastards."

Zhao Yaning can't imagine that there are even more **** units than the Football Association. Although the Football Association is a bastard, it is only limited to the affairs of the national team and China's domestic league. The blind command that does not know how to pretend does happen from time to time, but the Football Association personally comes forward to deduct the wages of the players.

However, Zhang Yuan's knowledge is much broader than that of him, "Basketball Association, Diving Team, Gymnastics Team, which one is clean? It's not a good place. The Basketball Association is greedy to be that way, it's not bad. Other departments, some until they are mixed. The corporal punishment and scolding have not been broken, and some more heinous things have happened. But who cares? With the results, you can do whatever you want without killing people. Without the results, you are a bastard. That is, the Football Association's results are almost the same. People scolded. This is the case with China."

"Not really." Zhao Yaning retorted. He has also heard of the privileges of stars in Europe, and even French rumors that even if Zidane shoots five people casually on the street with a gun, someone will help him smooth it out-this kind of thing has no borders, once sports The honor involves the interests of money and the interests of the country, so sports itself is gone.

"Anyway~www.ltnovel.com~ I just want you to understand. Football associations are not a thing, but this is not an isolated phenomenon, not only they are not a thing, foreign football associations are not a thing, nor are other sports departments in China. Things, the Football Association can’t do it alone. They should be scolded, but your statement is too much. What they are doing is very wicked, and you are also the actual victim, but at least you have now helped them keep their black shackles on their heads. You don’t expect them to repay their gratitude, but they will rely on you this time, and they will rely on you next time: They are just such a bunch of trash. What you have to do is to make them dependent and wait until you become their leader. After the smoke paste, let the big smokers sell their wives and they all do it."

Zhao Yaning sighed helplessly, then raised his head again, "Then this matter, just forget it? From the players who conspired against me to the upper level of the Football Association, if they have been conspired to deal with it, then they have been dealt with in vain?"

"Not at all. If you want them to give some blood, it's okay. Needless to say, the Football Association is involved with many big companies. It's easy to get you some sponsorship contracts. Players, they Not rich, and it’s not easy to save some money, forget it. But they are all domestic veterans. If you want to play something in the country, you can find them. They know the domestic jokes and they are comparable. I have a lot of dregs at the bottom of my society."

"Can you say a little less about these things?" Zhao Yaning interrupted Zhang Yuan.

"Yes, you look down on those domestic ones. I now doubt which Bodhisattva you have worshipped. The French team froze and missed a goal..." Zhang Yuan smiled, "Go find her then. go with."

"Stop talking nonsense, I have a girlfriend." Zhao Yaning retorted, and when he said that, a smile appeared on his face.

Indeed, I am about to see Beibei.
