Chapter 229 Your Son Has Talent

The business activities went smoothly. Chang Sheng visited the building of "Today Morning Post" and sat down with the reporters and editors of the sports department. {Please search on Baidu and read it on the first full text website}

Then he took a group photo with leading reporters and editors in front of the newspaper's brand wall.

At that time, this photo will appear in the newspaper to show off their abilities.

The next night, Chang Sheng came to Ji Leng's home with a gift and led by Ji Leng as a guest.

In an ordinary residential area, an ordinary two-bedroom, one-living room, a different dual-career family.

Chang Sheng saw Ji Leng's family.

Ji Leng's family is not sensitive to Chang Sheng's identity, they only know Chang Sheng and Ji Leng's interviewees.

That's all. An old mother, a woman, and a two-year-old child. They don’t watch football, don’t understand football, and don’t know what Chang Sheng’s role as a football coach means to Chinese football—this is what the Chinese media say. .

But with them, Chang Sheng felt relaxed and comfortable.

He noticed that Ji Leng's son was running around the house holding the football Ji Leng gave him.

"The child likes it very much!" Chang Sheng sat on the sofa and looked at Ji Leng's son.

Ji smiled coldly: "It's okay."

Finding that the adults were talking about him, Ji Leng's son came over and stood in front of Chang Sheng, holding a football and looking at Chang Sheng from outside.

Chang Sheng saw that he was naive, so he reached out and touched the child's short-haired head.

The child looked a little shy, turned around and ran to find his mother who was busy in the kitchen with the football in his arms.

Chang Sheng shouted behind him: "Brother will teach you how to play football?"

The child ran back again and asked Chang Sheng: "Do you want to collect money, uncle?"

"Cough!" Ji Leng who was drinking water was choked.

Ji Leng's wife, who came out of the kitchen, explained with some embarrassment: "There are interested parties in the nearby Children's Palace, and they all charge money. He must have heard it from somewhere...cough...children, Learn things very quickly..."

Chang Sheng laughed loudly: "It's so cute!"

Then he smiled and said to Ji Leng's son, "I won't charge you,

I will also give you money. Do you want to learn? "

The child looked very happy holding the football and shouted loudly: "I want to!"

So Chang Sheng turned to Ji Leng and said solemnly: "Old Ji, your son has a talent for playing football."

Ji Leng grinned: "I'm only two years old, what kind of talent do you have..."

"Trust me, come to me when he is five years old, and I promise to raise your son!"

"Ahem, I'll talk about it when the time comes, I'll talk about it when the time comes..."

Chang Sheng turned his head to fool the child: "When you are five years old, you come to see your brother, and my brother will teach you how to play football, okay?"

Ji Leng's son nodded vigorously: "Okay, uncle!"

"Hey, call me brother."

"Okay, uncle!"

"Ahem, call me brother...I'm brother."

"Okay, brother and uncle!"

Often wins a black line.

And Ji Leng next to him laughed out loud, so happy that even her wife covered her mouth and laughed.

Ji Leng's mother next to her grinned and pulled her little grandson away: "The cat and the mouse have started, go and see..."

Before leaving, Ji Leng's son waved to Chang Sheng very politely: "Goodbye, brother and uncle."

In another round of laughter, Chang Sheng wanted to cry but had no tears.

After enjoying a warm home-cooked meal at Ji Leng's house, Chang Sheng got up to say goodbye.

Ji Leng sent him to the road outside the community and hailed a taxi for him.

"What are your plans for the new season, Changsheng?" Ji Leng asked him.

"Is this an interview?" Chang Sheng asked.

"Uh, no. I'm just curious." Ji Leng shook his head and said, "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say..."

Chang Sheng smiled and said: "Ha! No, no problem. It's not a secret. In the new season, strive for three consecutive league championships, and then make a breakthrough in the Champions League."

Ji Leng's eyes widened: "Three consecutive championships? It's hard, isn't it?"

"It's harder than two consecutive championships." Chang Sheng shrugged.

At this moment, an empty taxi was stopped and stopped beside Chang Sheng.

Ji Leng waved to Chang Sheng: "Then I wish you good luck in the new season!"

"Thank you!" Chang Sheng opened the car door and got in. "The team's registration date is July 16, see you in Valencia then!"

"See you in Valencia." Ji Leng waved off the taxi that Chang Sheng called.

Then he turned and walked home.

When he got home and saw his son rolling around on the ground with a football in his arms, he remembered Chang Sheng's words.

My son, does he really have the talent to play football?

Chang Sheng returned to his hometown from Shanghai. As he expected, his parents cooked a table full of his favorite dishes.

This week, Chang Sheng felt like he was living like a pig. Every day I woke up and ate, ate and then went back to sleep, and stayed at home all day without going anywhere.

He enjoys this kind of life very much.

If he had been so decadent in his previous life, he would have made his parents frown. But now, when he does this, his parents have no objection.

After staying at home for a week, he went north to Beijing to record a talk show for CCTV's sports channel.

In fact, let him talk about his coaching experience in Spain and his study tour in Europe.

At the beginning, Chang Sheng had already said it once in the "Stars Face to Face" column of Madrid TV. This time it is just adding a piece of Valencia experience.

The majority of Chinese fans are particularly interested in the details of Chang Sheng's coaching in Valencia.

For example, how he disciplined those stars, how he got along with the thorns. And the controversies he caused in Spain, his feud with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the strained relationship between him and the referee...

These are of interest to everyone.

However, the time is limited, and the questions asked by the host Zhang Bin are very simple. Did not discuss in depth.

Even so, Zhang Bin, the host who finished the recording of the talk show, still felt that there was still more to say.

He said apologetically to Chang Sheng: "This time our topic selection can only go so far... If you have a chance, I must ask you to speak freely once."

"For example?" Chang Sheng asked, he felt that what Zhang Bin said meant something.

Zhang Bin is also a sensible person. He smiled: "For example, Chinese football. We can't criticize it. But I really want to hear you talk. You have coached a lot not only in Spain, but also in the whole of Europe. The team has rich coaching experience. And you were a member of our professional team before, so I want to hear what you think of the difference between European football and Chinese football. Why can European football succeed, and why we have been professionalized for so many years Reform, but only scored in the World Cup once, and there was an element of luck, after entering, I didn't score a goal, and I didn't win a game..."

Chang Sheng smiled: "Isn't it a bit cold to say this now?"

Although the Chinese national team suffered three disastrous defeats in last year's World Cup in Japan and South Korea. But in fact, the enthusiasm for football in China has not heated up.

In this year, a college graduate named Lin Hai Tingtao wrote a football novel about yy Chinese players joining the national team and playing for the country. Many people still read it, full of fantasy and longing. Excited or touched by the performance of the protagonists in the national team. A few years later, if someone writes like this again, I'm afraid they will be sprayed to death.

From this detail, it can be seen that although the Chinese fans at this time have experienced the failure of the World Cup, they are still full of confidence and expectations for Chinese football.

In particular, the Asian Cup will be held in China next year, which is another good stimulus for Chinese fans. Everyone is looking forward to the Chinese national team being able to achieve zero breakthroughs in international competitions at home.

It can be said that everyone is enthusiastic, but Chang Sheng can predict the future, so he knows the future development trajectory of Chinese football, and also knows the final result of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup.

It seems that after this Asian Cup, Chinese football began to slide into the abyss completely. Chinese fans' expectations for the national football team are getting lower and lower, and in the end, many people ignore it. Chinese football has entered a long winter night.

So if Chang Sheng wants to say something good, it will definitely pour cold water on everyone.

Zhang Bin shook his head and said, "So I said that there is no way to say that now, I can only say something that everyone likes to hear."

When Chang Sheng thought about the situation in the future, he was also a little sad: "I will talk about it later, I am afraid no one will like to hear it."

"I can't help it. I always have to say it. Good advice hurts the ear, and good medicine tastes bitter."

Chang Sheng sighed in his heart. By that time, it was no longer a question of whether he liked to listen to unkind advice, but that not many people would want to hear about Chinese football at all.

In the future, it may have to wait until Gao Hongbo becomes the head coach of the Chinese team before the fans' interest in the national team will rise again. Not bad, and it also broke the 30-year-old Korean phobia.

And Evergrande's entry into the Chinese Super League has also promoted the full entry of money and capital into the Chinese Super League. Shanghai Shenhua, Dalian Albin, Guizhou Renhe...money has brought more big-name players, and big-name players have increased the viewing pleasure of the Chinese Super League. More and more The fans returned to the stands of the Chinese Super League.

But the future of Chinese football is still a fog, and even Chang Sheng, a traveler, can't see through it. Because the time he traveled was not long enough, if he traveled back a hundred years later, maybe he would know some answers...

"The problem of Chinese football is too serious, we are still romantic, let's gossip about celebrities. Ha!" Chang Sheng finally laughed.

The talk show recorded in Beijing will be broadcast at the end of July, but at that time Chang Sheng has returned to Valencia.

But Chinese football will not quiet down.

Because the turmoil he caused was just the prologue to a summer I was crazy about.

On June 20 this year, after the Barcelona club chairman election, Real Madrid immediately announced that they had reached an agreement with Manchester United. David Beckham will officially transfer to Real Madrid on July 1.

The Real Madrid club chose this time to announce the news, naturally to hit Barcelona and prevent Barcelona from overwhelming Real Madrid in terms of attention and fan confidence due to the change of chairman.

Sure enough, when Real Madrid announced the news, the eyes of the whole world were attracted by Real Madrid. As for the replacement of the chairman of the Barcelona club... who cares about them!

In addition, this news has a double blow to Barcelona.

None of the three people Laporta had promised during his campaign ended up coming.

This is tantamount to making Laporta's image plummet in the minds of Barcelona club members.

Real Madrid, which now has six superstars including Zidane, Figo, Raul, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, and Beckham, is called the "Galaxy Battleship" by the media. This is the first time this name has appeared in the media, and since then, it has become the synonym for Real Madrid.

Of course, after the Galacticos collapsed and went silent, the media continued to call Real Madrid that way, which aroused dissatisfaction from the Real Madrid club.

Now this star-studded team is coming to China to participate in the competition, which has become the most eye-catching news in the Chinese sports world in this summer without a World Series.

Chinese fans are looking forward to Real Madrid's visit to China, looking forward to face-to-face with superstars.

On July 15th, the 2003 Real Madrid China Tour Organizing Committee announced in Beijing the composition of the Chinese Dragon Team for the match against Real Madrid at the Workers' Stadium.

Declared that Real Madrid's visit to China has officially entered the countdown.

At this time, Chang Sheng was already in Valencia.

A new season for coaches is about to begin.
