The Ball at Your Feet

"Sometimes I find it weird. If someone has a problem, I can't stop it no matter what."

Looking at Zhao Yaning in front of him, Zhang Yuan sighed for a while. He really doesn't know why this guy is always so interested.

This place is also known as the football training base of "China's Clarefontaine". This place has been built for ten years. When I first contributed to the establishment of this place, why didn't I find that these old buildings have such a big attraction that Zhao Yaning can linger until now?

Zhao Yaning is really boring. After playing the World Cup and following the Asian Cup, he also chose to retire. He retired at the age of 39. This guy has exhausted his reputation. By the time he retired, he had been away from the European stadium for 3 years. He could no longer attract too much attention from the small fans. Even the old fans. I missed the idol who grew up with him at the beginning, without too much attention, he is far inferior to the ostentation when the clever, rapid retiring people retired. Although he did find a lot of old friends from that year to play a retired exhibition game, but his old friends, one by one, have a man's belly, watching this old monster play football. At the time, they couldn't do anything except scold the street.

However, this is also his own choice-for him, even with Ronaldo's retired platoon, it may be really not as interesting as playing for two more years. Zhang Yuan knows his temper and has never argued with him about it.

But after retiring, why is it still like this...I'm already a coach. Isn't it good to put on a suit and stand on the sidelines to direct those big names? At any rate, he was also a generation of midfielder commander and a coach who was expected by countless people, but after retiring, he had to wear sportswear and play with the little boys on the court. This is really...

How should I put it, should I say that I don’t know what building fame is, or should I say that this is called life?

Seeing Zhao Yaning walking by his side, he couldn't help but speak.

"You say you look like this now, is it fair? It's been almost two years since you retired, and you don't do any serious things, just take such a bunch of little **** kids to play here every day-is it interesting?"

"This is called youth training. Is it interesting? In the final analysis, isn't football only supported by youth training? Where can the big stars come from without children?" Zhao Yaning pointed to the stadium, "This is the country of our country. Qing...This year's national youths have played well, much better than before. It is still necessary to practice. You can't see such a big gap on the back line. It's not enough to just blindly run stupidly. Our country is this. In the past two years, the physique has been up and the players are able to play well, but in terms of consciousness, they have to be cultivated. The position of commander is not always available. We still have to think about how to improve the overall Position awareness is enough. Don’t think we’re strong enough. Now, we’re still far away."

Zhang Yuan looked at him and sighed helplessly.

"Teach them to play, just find someone. Does it need you to stay here every day? Is it fun to teach children here without doing a lot of serious work?"

"The serious work you said is not the same as the work of the Football Association? As the technical director, I did it. I gave a report and improved the youth training system. No one listened to them. I also wrote a book for them. , Summed up the experience of playing football throughout my life, and compiled it into a booklet. What else do you want me to do? I won’t do the rest."

The ghosts need your reports.

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes. He still remembered that after Zhao Yaning retired, he immediately began to prepare to write his autobiography. At that time, the media was very excited, thinking this was a good story-who knows, where is the autobiography written by this guy, it is basically his football tactics evolution history and technical and tactical guide for 20 years of playing football, that is densely packed. The tactical board and a large number of human figures make professionals feel a headache. Fans buy them home, and basically none of them can be read.

This guy is not writing a story for the fans at all, he wrote his own memoir. In his life, the things he cares most about are all those things, and those things he writes down are all those things.

The Football Association considers his status to be high, and gives him the status of vice chairman, and the AFC must also give him the official title. It stands to reason that such a person would be great to be an ambassador, but he is reluctant to go. Zhang Yuan knew that he hated being a bureaucrat and gave him the position of technical director of the national team, and he wrote a lot of reports in this position, which continued to make people laugh and cry.

Who needs him to do real things!

"What the Football Association needs you to do is a vase, a vase that represents the image of Chinese football! Not only the Football Association, AFC, FIFA, all have this idea, everyone is waiting for you to learn from Pele, move around, go out and walk around. , Propagating football everywhere. Also, Real Madrid, Monaco, Liverpool hired you to be an ambassador, but you are moving around. Some people give you money to travel around, but you are not willing to go. You are really enough. boring."

"Those are not serious errands. I can't do speeches, friendly matches, public performances. It's better to be a coach."

"Then go to be a coach! If you want to be a coach, I will be able to contact you immediately! Where do you say to coach? Domestic, France, Spain, England, you have the final say. Being a coach is also a good thing. Ah, Alonso, Guti, Kaka, aren't they all coaches? Go, who wouldn't let you go! Even being a coach is better than teaching kids to play here, right?"

"Go and fight people to become a coach... After two years, when I can't play, I can't coach them on the sidelines, so I can go."

Zhao Yaning pointed to the lawn, looking at the lawn, Zhang Yuan stopped talking, "I still can't put down the green field, right?"

"Yeah. How could it be easy to let it go?" Zhao Yaning sighed, "Even if I can't play now, I still like watching football sometimes. Football has long been a part of my life and I can play. At that time, why not kick more?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yaning pondered for a moment, “Do you remember that when I just retired, I was in Europe and I walked all the places where I used to play football? Once, I met Ziz in Milan. Ratan. At that time, the two of us ran for a drink. He said that since he retired, he never watched football. He didn't even want to think about it. He preferred to play karate and do something else. As a result, the next day came. , Milan Derby, I sneaked into the San Siro stand to watch the game, and I saw him hiding in the corner to watch the game at a glance. He cried when he saw me, crying very vigorously. We were crying in the stands at the time. , He pointed to the field and said that he especially wanted to be able to be younger again and kick a few more kicks..."

"At that time, the news came. Two fools were able to cry when watching other people's teams playing football." Zhang Yuan nodded.

"We cry because we love football. Remember 12 years? How happy Cristiano was when he won the Golden Ball for his performance in the European Cup? There are 13 years left. How old was Messi that year? 26 years old, right? It’s the first time I won the Golden Globe Award, and I was crying. We love this sport, we hope we can be recognized, and we also hope that we can make enough contributions to this sport."

Zhang Yuan didn't say a word, of course he still remembered all this. During the initial period of the Golden Globes reform, Zhao Yaning won three consecutive years of awards, and almost changed the trophy to Zhao. In 12 years, the Champions League was lost, coupled with the European Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo finally shivered and performed well, won the recognition of all, and won the Golden Globe Award. It was not the first time he won the Golden Globe Award, but he was still very excited. In Zhang Yuan's impression, that was the only time he took the initiative to embrace Zhao Yaning. He hugged Zhao Yaning on the podium, completely disregarding his image, like a child.

After 12 years, Florentino bought Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid in order to play the big game, taking advantage of the financial crisis of Barcelona, ​​but this gave Messi the opportunity to prove his ability to lead the team alone. Messi took advantage of Real Madrid. In turmoil, he won the Golden Globe Award for himself-he was named a genius since the age of 17, but after being suppressed for ten years before reaching the highest podium, he was also crying with joy at the time.

They love this sport, they are willing to do everything for this sport, and they are also happy to enjoy the fun of the sport itself. The fun of football is greater than winning and more than the additional things. In itself, it is the most satisfying game.

There will always be a day when people will get old. At that time, victory or defeat, fame, and fame are all passing by. What they left is their deep love for football and beautiful memories. These things are memories they can't erase for a lifetime.

"But I really think that you can try to lead the team. It really doesn't make much sense to coach here by yourself. Your influence is far more important than your own coaching ability~www. ltnovel.com~ If you go out, you can make more people fall in love with football."

"Football doesn't lack people who love, but people who work hard." Zhao Yaning shook his head. "Moreover, what I am thinking about now is not a career. I am 40 years old and have retired. Why bother to start a business again? There is no shortage of money, no lack of fame, and I don’t want to be intrigue with people anymore. All I have to do now is to enjoy life and enjoy the fun of football. Let’s talk about coaching."

Zhao Yaning took a look at him, "Don't say so much, come and play with us for a while. By the way, the better you are in FIFA, the better your belly is. Take time to exercise. Come and play for a while. What's worse than playing for a while?"

Looking at Zhang Yuan, who didn’t want to move, Zhao Yaning grabbed him directly, “Let’s go, you were the one who played football in the first place. Why are you doing this now? Let’s play a two-footed ball. If you don’t play for a long time, it will naturally be. You don’t realize the fun of playing football. You can love the sport more by playing two more feet. Come on, play."

Zhang Yuan looked at him for a while, and finally agreed.

Yes, in the final analysis, aren't these things that I do just to make more people fall in love with football? Maybe I didn't do much, but I have already made an effort. The charm of football will make more people fall in love with this sport, and your work can be considered a good one. Then, the rest is to enjoy football, right?

That being the case, then, let yourself, let's kick the ball again!
