football era

Zheng Zhonglei was actually not that old back then.

Zheng Zhonglei was only 20 years old when he became the executive director and largest shareholder of Nanguo. Among all the top league bosses at that time, he was unique.

Chen Feng was 17 years old.

Meng Feifei is even younger, only 14 years old.

Zheng Zhonglei's father, Zheng Tu, was one of the first batch of star players in the Football Era professional league—although he was not the first generation of professional players, but the era he lived in was when the Football Era professional league started from the earliest scattered model. Come out, the time when the global uniform rules were gradually formed.

All the experience in history has proved that only when the world gradually integrates and communicates with more stars who have achieved top-level standards and achievements, their achievements will be more convincing. It is because of a communication problem. After all, you are only in a certain If a region dominates, people don’t know how strong you are. You have no record of playing against opponents from other continents. Even if you officially record thousands of goals in your career, people can still think that the level of football at that time was too poor. Or maybe your environment is too bad...

Those famous players who were a few generations earlier than Zheng Tu had such problems, and the commercialization of the league was not enough at that time. Although they left a great name in the history of professional football games in the era of football, they actually He didn't get much personal benefit, and some famous generals from different continents even disappeared soon after retiring, and they didn't even have a great reputation.

Compared with these people, Zheng Tu is undoubtedly lucky. As a top player in the Chinese league at that time, he has won many honors and a very high income. In addition to his own strength and level, until now, many fans of the old football era still remember this name.

But although Zheng Zhonglei is Zheng Tu's son, this has brought him even more pressure - your father is a famous general of a generation, but you can't even get into the professional arena, shame on you...

Although he relied on his own business level to manage the southern country quite well, he still couldn't get rid of his notoriety.

Under his management, Nanguo did not achieve particularly outstanding results, but it has always been in the middle, and occasionally the results are better, but it does not appear to be particularly good.

However, in the first three years of his management of Nanguo, he gradually stabilized a team with chaotic management and fluctuating performance, with a significant increase in income and the ability to retain people. At the same time, the level of youth training has gradually improved. It laid a good foundation for the future glory of the southern country.

So three years passed.

In the youth training camp in the southern country, there was a genius who attracted everyone's attention.

His name is Meng Feifei.

Since he emerged in the youth training camp, he has received the attention of many top teams. A club like Nanguo actually has no ability to retain such a talent who attracted attention from the very beginning. After all, Nanguo was very ordinary at that time.

At that time, the league did not protect the youth training, and young players were free to come and go. As long as they could get the favor of other teams, the club had no way to stop them from leaving. The strong, the weaker the weaker.

Nanguo was also facing such a problem at the time. Zheng Zhonglei was very anxious about it. He knew what such a genius meant to Nanguo. This is an extremely rare opportunity for Nanguo to drive the entire team!

You must know that even if you are a genius, there will be no immediate changes when you debut. You need complete training and gradual maturity to truly reach the peak. As for ordinary players, it is not so easy to lead a team.

However, even if he can think of this, there are some things that he cannot control.

But at this time, Meng Feifei took the initiative to find the coach of his youth team and asked to meet the executive director of the club.

When Zheng Zhonglei just became the executive director of Nanguo, he actually didn’t hold much shares. At that time, several major shareholders were at odds and didn’t want to take advantage of others, so a young man like Zheng Zhonglei was appointed as the executive director to play a balanced role. As a result, this young man who made them not care, quietly cut off part of the shares of other people in the past three years, suddenly became the largest shareholder, and really controlled the management of the entire club... …

That is to say, now in the southern country, Zheng Zhonglei is really in charge of things when he speaks.

When Zheng Zhonglei heard that Meng Feifei wanted to see him, Zheng Zhonglei was a little strange, but he immediately decided to meet him - after all, it was very important for him to know what Meng Feifei thought.

It wasn't that he didn't want to see Meng Feifan before, but it was useless for him to see him—after all, Meng Feifan was too dazzling now, even if he contacted him earlier, it was meaningless.

Of course he sent someone to see Meng Feifei, but during this period of time, there were too many people who came into contact with Meng Feifei in private, and Meng Feifei refused them all, not seeing any of them.

And now to see him... This also gave Zheng Zhonglei a glimmer of hope.

Zheng Zhonglei still remembers the first time he saw Meng Feifei.

"At that time when he stood in front of me, his whole body was as sharp as a sword. I knew right then that this young man was amazing."

Zheng Zhonglei had a look of reminiscence on his face, and said to Su Jing and Zheng Qi with a sigh.

Zheng Qi still listened casually, but Su Jing's eyes showed fascination.

Meng Feifei, who has been crazy for decades, still has that kind of demeanor like a jade tree facing the wind. What would Meng Feifei look like back then?
Meng Fan smiled at the side, but his eyes were involuntarily moist.

"Anyway, that day, he took the initiative to talk to me a lot, and then told me that he was going to sign a contract with Nanguo."

"I was very surprised and very strange at the time, because the conditions I could propose were not high. At that time, there was no salary restriction order. The price that many clubs could offer was much higher than ours, many, many, many."

"However, Meng Feifei said with a smile that he cares more about honor. After hearing my plan, he thinks that in the southern country, he can concentrate on competitions and training, and ignore those nonsense things."

"A year later, he became a professional player and helped us get third place in the league in the first year, which is the pinnacle that Southland has never reached."

"At that time, there were five people who trained with him from the new district, and all of them had very high attribute points. Of course, he was even taller. He was so tall that no one had ever done it before, and he will never come again."

Hearing this, Zheng Qi interrupted his father.

"No, it's not that there will be no futurecomers. My attribute points have surpassed him!" Zheng Qi said triumphantly.

"That's because it just happened to be the number of cards. Meng Feifan didn't have your methods of pulling monsters. His attribute points were all earned by breaking records all the way. Who do you think has the highest gold content?" Zheng Zhonglei's face changed, asked rhetorically.

Zheng Qi stopped talking.

"Of those five people, the most outstanding one is Chen Feng. Chen Feng was originally a late bloomer. He was three years older than Meng Feifei, but he never made it to the top. It was not until he met Meng Feifan that he gained room for development. You all know what happened next." Zheng Zhonglei said with a sigh.

"Double crown for two consecutive years, and the third year began to hit the five crowns. At that time, Meng Feifei was only 20 years old." Zheng Qi said.

"Yeah, you weren't even born yet." Zheng Zhonglei sighed, "In that year, Nanguo had reached a peak under his hard work and my management. No opponent in the country was our opponent. Then we can win a few goals, that year in the league, we remained unbeaten, and the cups were tied all the way..."

Zheng Zhonglei's exuberant expression dimmed: "Up until that game, we lost, and we were only one step away from winning the five championships."

"Meng Feifei must be very unconvinced."

Zheng Qi sighed. He could imagine Meng Feifei's anger and even helplessness at that time. He may not be someone who can't afford to lose, but he has done so well, but he still didn't win the five crowns due to other factors. Wang, the more proud a person is, the more he cannot bear such a blow.

"He was very angry at the time and said a lot of excessive things, which was also my fault. He didn't stand up to support him with a clear-cut stand, which made him feel betrayed..." Zheng Zhonglei smiled bitterly: "If I had a clearer stand at the time, I would Okay, but I'm a businessman, and I'm used to getting the most out of compromises, so what I planned at the time was to slowly replace those problematic people, and then build a purer and stronger team, with Meng Feifei and With Chen Feng as the core, I will build an even better team in less than two years, and I won't give others an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Your choice is not wrong." Meng Fan shook his head: "If it were me, I would do the same thing. A moment of impatience will only make the situation worse. But my brother...that is A person who cannot tolerate sand in his eyes."

"So at that time, he had great opinions on me, Chen Feng, and many people, and he even made the decision to retire immediately... This is also his character. It would not be possible to achieve such a great achievement at such a young age... I am just a pity, he was only 20 years old at that time, if we can be patient a little bit, we can create a great prosperity together!" Zheng Zhonglei's eyes are infinitely distressed, although After so many years, he still feels sad when he mentions it.

Isn't that his career, his pursuit!
"It's already happened, so don't think about it. If it wasn't for this, you might not even know me." Ye Qingyu patted Zheng Zhonglei's hand and said.

"Yes, things in the world are always so wonderful." Zheng Zhonglei smiled.

Zheng Qi curled his lips, and said to the curious Su Jing in a low voice: "It is said that my father used to drink to relieve his worries. When someone molested my mother, he rushed out to save the beauty, but he was beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face. My mother saved it...it's a shame..."

Su Jing almost laughed out loud.

Zheng Zhonglei glared at his son in embarrassment.
