The Ball at Your Feet

Ajaccio (io) is the capital of the province of South Corsica, the southernmost territory of France. It is located in the Gulf of Ajaccio on the west coast of the French Mediterranean island of Corsica. It is the activity center of Corsica, a beautiful small harbor town.

If there is anything here that is cosmopolitan, then the presence of such a great man as Napoleon Bonaparte is enough to make this place famous. Napoleon was born here in 1769. At that time, France had just acquired Corsica from Italy and did not regard Corsicans as French, but it was this Corsican that made France taste the most glorious moment in its thousand-year history. .

Today, the cathedral built in the 16th century, the palace built by Napoleon III, the imperial chapel and

The ancient city in the seventh century-although this ancient city in the seventh century was rebuilt at the end of the fifteenth century. Here is a bustling commercial center, an elegant coastal style, and a long historical site-in short, it is a tourist attraction.

But Ajaccio is a good choice as a holiday trip, but football?

Ajaccio’s team has been established in 1910 for 90 years, not to mention the championship, it has not even played in the first division. In Corsica, there are only three teams, one of which is an amateur team that was just established in 1997.

But now the Corsican people want to do something, for no other reason, because the provincial capital of North Corsica, Bastia, successfully promoted to the French Serie A.

This makes it difficult for Ajaccio and Bastia to meet again, and the original Corsican derby is gone.

Ajaccio is naturally unwilling to accept the feeling of being crushed by his brothers on the same island so humiliatingly. They also want to upgrade to the first division, let the Corsica Derby start in Ligue 1.

And it was in this case that Ajaccio's head coach Kubis asked Paris to rent Zhao Yaning.

"You really don't need to fly to Ajaccio with me." Zhao Yaning said to Cordia next to him.

"To be honest, I don't want you to go to that team. Those black legs from Algeria are a group of thugs. They only engage in political assassinations, write Corsican everywhere, and seek independence every day!"

Zhao Yaning nodded. He knew that many people in France had a bad impression of Corsica. Ajaccio is a Corsican team, which makes it difficult for the French to like this team.

Since Corsica became a French territory in the seventeenth century, they have never stopped the independence movement, and the Catalonia region of Spain is the most powerful region clamoring for independence. But there is a big difference between the two before:

Ajaccio lacks resources, backward industry and commerce, and insufficient taxation. The island’s per capita GDP is 30% lower than the French national average. In Corsica, a quarter of the employed population are state civil servants, and they have to take 11.4 billion francs from France every year to maintain their expenses, but they still want independence.

Catalonia’s tax revenue accounts for about 20% of Spain’s, but its population is only 10% of Spain’s. They live a prosperous life and are therefore full of dissatisfaction with the Spanish government.

Although Zhao Yaning knows nothing about politics and at the same time rejects the practice of dividing the country from the bottom of his heart, he still feels that Corsica is more rigid, while Catalonia always gives him a feeling of dislike the poor and love the rich.

But he thinks these are completely meaningless, he is just a football player, and these things are beyond his turn.

"Actually, if you can wait, maybe I can help you find a team abroad. I have some friends in Belgium, if you want..."

Zhao Yaning waved his hand, interrupted Cordia's words, and laughed at himself, "The new season is about to start, where is too late! Besides, I just learned a little French, and I can communicate with each other on a daily basis. France, when I went to Belgium, wouldn’t I be deaf again? No, Corsica is just Corsica, isn’t it just a poorer island, I don’t care."

"But there, it’s hard for you to be famous, and it’s hard for you to have an early day!" Mark Cordia finally said what he said in his heart, "There is a small island, a small island that hardly anyone pays attention to, who Will I go there to inspect you?"

"Try to talk." Zhao Yaning laughed again.

It's not that he doesn't understand what Cordia means. Ajaccio is too young. For them, upgrading is a difficult task that is impossible to complete. Playing there, what else is there to talk about? Playing on that island, let alone being famous, it's hard to attract scouts' attention-who would go to an island with only three teams? Cordia didn't want to go by himself, he knew there was nowhere to play. But he didn't want to offend Paris Saint-Germain. After all, he is an agent. It is not a good thing to offend the rich team. Therefore, he let himself come forward and refuse the lease contract. A foreigner refuses to go to Corsica. The reason is fair.

But Zhao Yaning can only smile bitterly at his thoughts, Mark, you still can't understand me. Do I now have the power to choose the fat and the thin? As long as you can play the ball, it is better than anything.

"It's really not suitable for young people to go there. Instead of going there, it's better to stay in Paris Saint-Germain."

"Mark, the story I saw when I was learning French, said an Italian king said that he would rather be the boss in a small fishing village than the second child in Rome, right?" Zhao Yaning stopped Mark. "There is also such a saying in China. , Ning is the head of the chicken, not the queen. That means that the head of the chicken is cleaner than the **** of the cow. I am now, and this is the answer-they give me the main force, what happened to the small team?

"You are talking about Caesar, he is the emperor of Rome, not the king of Italy."

"Rome? Italy? It's all the same. Speaking of Rome, isn't Totti the boss in Rome? Isn't he not as famous as those of Inter Milan?"

"Roma won at least a championship, but what is Ajaccio?" Mark is also used to the thinking mode of football players. There are not many of these guys who study seriously, and there is no need to discuss those things with them.

"If I can make a difference there, then I can naturally attract the attention of others. If I do nothing there-that is my level is not enough, where is it different?" Zhao Yaning remembered something, "Bastia does not Is there a very famous player? What is his name? Michael Essien? Both are in the Corsica Isle team. If he can do it, so can I."

"He became famous because of the World Youth Championship!" Cordia was a little annoyed, "and you don't have Essien's ability.

"Yes, that's why I need more opportunities to exercise." Zhao Yaning smiled, "I believe I will succeed, and you believe me again."

"It's up to you, anyway, you are still young and you can waste a year." Cordia complained, "I hope you can be respected by Kubis."

These words made Zhao Yaning a little excited. He also learned some news about Ajaccio coach Kubis. This person has worked with Zidane, which made Zhao Yaning see him with extraordinary treatment: Maybe he is his own Bole.

But compared to him, Cordia is not very happy. "When Kubis used to be a coach in Marseille, we dealt with each other. At that time, I was in Marseille and was a football reporter. I inquired something about His bad rumors, judging from those rumors, he is not considered a righteous gentleman."

Zhao Yaning looked at Cordia curiously, but Cordia closed his mouth this time. Seeing that he was reluctant to speak, Zhao Yaning had to change the subject, "Tell me about Ajaccio, I mean you should know something I don't know."

Cordia glanced at him, "Yes, I do know some things that will never be written on the official website of the team."

"Ajaccio is Monaco's satellite team."

Such things will not be recorded on the official website, only messages between brokers.

"Ajaccio's lineup is very poor. They are poor, unable to develop the team's hardware facilities, and unable to bring in outstanding players. Therefore, the method they choose is to rent a lot from other teams. They have a good relationship with Monaco. There are as many as eight people in the team on loan from Monaco."

These words made Zhao Yaning take a deep breath, UU reading www. uukanshu. Are eight people in a com team rented?

“Monaco’s youth training is very good. The Latourby training base is one of the best in Europe. Wenger established it. Over the years, it has always been the best youth training camp in France. They have a surplus of talents. There was no way to digest it, and many of them were rented out, which benefited Fa B a lot."

Speaking of Wenger, Cordia is a bit proud. Arsenal’s professors are second to none in youth training and talent mining, and his team has a gorgeous style and beautiful playing style. There are a lot of fans around the world, and that team has many French people, and it has always been French. Talk about it.

"However, if Ajaccio is the satellite team of Monaco, then why would Ajaccio rent me and Paris Saint-Germain would agree? The Parisians have no reason to help the satellite team of Monaco."

"What's the big deal then? Anyway, you are not going to the Marseille satellite team."

Zhao Yaning was still puzzled, but Cordia didn't intend to explain it anymore.

The relationship between Paris and Monaco has always been better, but on the contrary, Marseille, Lyon, and Bordeaux are the same. As the satellite team of Monaco, Ajaccio rented Zhao Yaning, Paris would not be against it. If the satellite team of Lyon Toulouse loaned Zhao Yaning, then the answer given by Paris would definitely be different.

But these things, players do not need to know. Faction disputes in Ligue 1 have always been fierce, but to put it bluntly, it is the hatred of Paris and Marseille. These agents know that there is no need to let the players know that they can play well. Other messy things are the agents. Managed by people.

"What I can do for you, I have done it." Cordia said in his heart, "Although I don't do much, but at least it will allow you to play. Then what happens in the future is all up to you. ."
