The Ball at Your Feet

When I saw Zhang Yuan in the lobby of the hotel again, Zhao Yaning's first impression was that the condition of his old friend did not look very good.

The last time I saw him, he was still in good shape, but when we met again this time, he seemed to be puffed up a lot. And his spirit was languishing compared to the last time he met, but the slightly hypocritical smile on his face at the last meeting looked more rounded and flawless.

"Brother, you are so prosperous now. I have watched you in the French second and played really well. I used to say that you can kick out because you are lucky. I didn't catch up. Now the buddies are completely convinced. You play much better than me. I really don’t say.” Zhang Yuan is still so familiar, he patted Zhao Yaning intimately as soon as they met, “Kick well, you will become famous in the future. I'm good guys too."

"Brother Zhang, are you working in a brewery now?" Zhao Yaning thought for a long time before he came up with a greeting.

He really did not expect that Zhang Yuan was now down to this point.

"Hey, what kind of work am I in? I'm just fooling around." Zhang Yuan didn't say much to him, but just changed the subject, "I heard that brother, you came back and asked to see me immediately. I was talking to my buddy at the time. Say, yes, you guys are really good! Don’t say anything else, just the loyalty, no. Just for this, when the buddy did not take care of you in France in vain."

"Brother Zhang, what is going on, can I help?"

Although Zhao Yaning could probably guess how Zhang Yuan got into this field, he still couldn't help but want to know.

"My life is very good, you can't help much, and you don't need your help." Zhang Yuan shook his head, "You can play football wholeheartedly. I am not as good as you in playing football. I am not as good as you in the society. you?"

Zhao Yaning opened his mouth, but still didn't know what to say. Zhang Yuan was so resolute in his attitude that he refused to talk about his own affairs, so he didn't know how to ask, "Well, Brother Zhang, I won't ask that much. But if you have anything, you must tell me. Money or something, you must tell me, I can still help with this."

"Don't be nonsense, you, Brother Zhang, I don't have any other skills, but the ability to eat free food is nothing compared to me. I can't die from starvation." Zhang Yuan smiled, "Don't know how to spend the money just now. , I went home to see if my parents brought anything? There are also for younger brothers and sisters, have you bought them all? You play in France, there are many luxury goods in France, and they are not too expensive to buy..."

"She doesn't care about that." Zhao Yaning interrupted Zhang Yuan.

"She doesn't care about that, can she still care about you? The things you buy for her represent a part of your heart. You buy cheaply. If she doesn't say anything, can she be happy?"

"Talking to Brother Zhang is learning." Zhao Yaning complimented and asked his own question, "Brother Zhang, I want to ask you something. It's about this beer..."

"What do you want to ask? Are you afraid that this beer will not work and ruin your reputation, or that you don't want to give you too little money?"

Zhao Yaning hurriedly shook his head, "How could it be that I have a reputation, but this brand is listed in the province. I just want to know how this brewery can look at me and let me speak for them."

"Why can't you? Anyway, you are also a future quasi-international player, don't be so unconfident." Zhang Yuan laughed, "It is not you, it is them. The money given to you is not much, if it is not for the fellow For sake of it, you can't give them this advantage."

"But I'm not a national team yet. Who knows me now. I'm collecting money now. Isn't it a bit..."

"What's the matter? Now so much money is just right! When you really become a national, more than this price. A national I know, received a drink contract, 500,000! What about you? You earn five points from him One, why are you blushing?" Zhang Yuan's face had an inexplicable look, like jealousy and contempt. "What are they? What are they kicking? Let’s look at the domestic nest. Others don’t understand, don’t I understand your brother Zhang? Your skills will definitely have to be the core of the national team in the future, which is much better than them. Now this little money and the brewery’s side Signing the contract is to give them face."

"I always think it's a bit deceitful, I haven't kicked it out yet..."

"How many are there in the country who play abroad? How many are the main players in foreign teams? Be the core of foreign teams and lead the team to the top of the standings after half of the season. Who's there? Why didn't you get out? This is already a great result."

Zhao Yaning was silent for a while before speaking, "I just think that I always compare with them all my life, and I have nothing to do. To compare, you have to compare with more capable people, and you can't always compare downwards."

Zhang Yuan changed his face, and then couldn't help but slap his chin twice, "Good job, kid, you have a heart. I said that you can kick like this, you can lack everything else, and you can't lose your heart. With this mind, you can be a little bit prosperous."

Zhang Yuan touched his chin, and after a while, he spoke, "But, don't you think there is anything wrong with it. You are worth the price now. Whether it's the market hype or the economic boom. No matter what it is, it’s not what we did. What’s so bad about today’s return that you got from playing well? One hundred thousand yuan, not too much, now this idea, how much does it really cost to sign a star? Money? They are not giving you the price of a star, and you can't worry about it."

Zhao Yaning nodded, Zhang Yuan's words gave him a lot of peace of mind. After all, Cordia is a foreigner, and he doesn't know much about Chinese people. But there is no need for Zhao Yaning to disbelieve what Zhang Yuan said. He not only understands these ways, but he is also quite proficient.

"Then I have nothing else to do. I just think that the national team is still in the foreseeable future. Here I am thinking about how to make money. It's a bit too..."

"What's wrong with the national team?" Zhang Yuan stopped him. "What's wrong with the national team?"

"It's nothing, it's been so long, and there is nothing to say, it's an inspection, a training camp, or something. I didn't say anything." Zhao Yaning replied.

"Your agent, didn't you ask?"

"Mr. Cordia has gone to the Football Association several times, but they all said they are still under inspection. But I am on a small island like Ajaccio. How could I not know the people who came for the inspection?" Zhao Yaning was abroad. At that time, no one could say these words. He didn't want to worry about his parents, and Beibei really couldn't understand his sadness. But now when I saw Zhang Yuan, all these words were shaken out. "Brother Zhang, it is said that I have been in the past six months. It’s not bad, right? Even if you look at it, I’m looking forward to it. But now, I don’t have any letters. What is this? I’m thinking about it now, even if the national team sends someone to tell me. One cry: You didn't play well, don't think about it. I understand it. But now, everything is unclear."

"You don't have to say any more, I understand what you mean." Zhang Yuan's expression became solemn, and he drew his pockets, but stopped again, "This is not your problem, you don't need to worry. There is something in it, absolutely not simple."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yaning asked.

"Isn't this the World Cup? I've rushed out of Asia. Both Ama and Ago are thinking about going there for a while." Zhang Yuan sneered, without noticing that Zhao Yaning was also involved in his words. "This matter is simple and simple to say. The World Cup qualifying, isn’t the domestic heat up right away? I told you just now that the current international football team is worth each match. Who can be on the national team, it’s not so simple to watch the game now. Up."

"Isn't the head coach a foreigner?" Zhao Yaning was a little puzzled. "Foreigners also understand these twists and turns?"

"Foreigners? If you go to tourist attractions and antique markets, they are foreigners." Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand and shook his finger. "No matter what the coach says, it's just one person. Only one person can't cover everything. Don’t mention the foreign coaches. They say nothing. What he sees and what he gets, isn’t it all the Chinese have the final say?"

"Then who is making trouble here?" Zhao Yaning was really angry this time. "Can such a big event as the World Cup be silly?"

"Why can't? What can't?" Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to signal him to be quiet, "And don't worry, you can't afford the troublemaker if you know it."

As he said, Zhang Yuan held up his fingers, "First of all, the Football Association has to intervene. As you know, the Football Association of our country likes to engage in closed training or something, whether it is useful or not, anyway, first bluff people. Let’s talk about it. If you play abroad, then you can’t come? If you can’t come, can the Football Association give you a favor?”

"Secondly, the sports committees of the provinces. The World Cup is a matter of showing up, right? The sports committees of the provinces have been suffocating for a long time. Sending their own people to the World Cup will be regarded as their results. The more places, the greater the results. But now you are playing in a foreign country. Which province do you score? You are not someone’s political achievement. Who will speak for you?"

"Again, it is the income of this league. There are several international players in the World Cup, but it is related to whether the tickets are sold. This is directly linked to the wallets of the big bosses. Who can UU read www.uukanshu.com Not serious? Which team are you from? What benefits can I get by saying good things for you? Nothing. Why do people say good things for you?"

"Then, the coach is a foreigner, and they are here to make money, not to be Bethune. What they want is performance. Why do you get someone to promote a newcomer? With the players, they are all acquaintances for many years, so naturally there is a set of rankings. If you go, if you go, you can kick your big brothers out, and the big brothers are making less money. Who will the big brothers go to?"

"The Football Association, Sports Committee, League, Coaches, Old Players, all these aspects, which one can you afford?"

Zhao Yaning's original rage was completely extinguished by what he said. It took him a long time to look up with difficulty, "Is there no one who cares about the national team's performance?"

"It's the same as the national team can produce results. Football is originally played by Europeans and South Americans. Even if we are out of the line, it is time to divide the fruit. Silly brother, you just want to be the savior. It's not for you anymore."

Zhao Yaning opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse, "Then why don't you tell me directly?"

"Silly brother, haven't you dealt with officialdom? How can they give you permission when they do things? If they say that you don't want you, they will have to be implicated in the future if you are successful. Those **** can They are all smart people, no one bears this responsibility. The Football Association must always say that it is an investigation, and the final announcement must be done by the head coach. Things are manipulated by the bad guys, the head coach is responsible, and the position of the football association. Only then can it be safe."

"What the **** is this!" Zhao Yaning exploded.

"What's the matter? It's called a matter." Zhang Yuan sneered, "However, it's not a complete turnaround."

Zhao Yaning suddenly raised his head.
