ball at foot

After beating Madiques, Ajaccio won Nice again non-stop. After playing 0-0 with the title rival Strasbourg, he won two consecutive cities and won Laval and Another rival for the championship, Le Havre, locked in the promotion quota three rounds ahead of schedule.

While Ligue [-] was full of joy, Zhao Yaning also welcomed Cordia’s visit, and this time he also brought a guest—Zhang Yuan.

"Why did you come to France? Don't tell me!" Zhao Yaning was a little happy, but also complained, "I didn't make any preparations, and I don't know how to entertain you."

"No need, I'm here this time to tell you something." Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "I've got reliable news that you have a share of this World Cup."

The great joy made Zhao Yaning feel a little unstable, but after a long while, he still calmed down, "How is it possible? I have been paying attention to domestic sports newspapers, and the news about the national team has never mentioned me much. "[

Zhang Yuan smiled but did not answer, Zhao Yaning immediately understood that he was to blame for this.

"Brother Zhang, how did you do it? The methods you told me? Did it really work?"

Zhao Yaning asked.But this time, he was purely curious. Can those seemingly strange methods really work?

"It's not all due to me." Zhang Yuan explained to him, "The training camps and inspections published in those newspapers are all false. As I said, this inspection of the national team is actually a result of several major sports provinces. It is an act of dividing the cake. Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Northeast China, Qilu, and Central Sichuan, how to divide these big cakes is the key point."

"If you get close in time, you will naturally be regarded as Qilu's, and your ability and this season's level are there, so you will naturally be valued. But this is not enough, we have to add fire."

Add another fire?

"Mr. Cordia arranged for a reporter to interview Professor Wenger, mainly for your question. Professor Wenger expressed his interest in you. The only problem is that you have no experience in the national team and cannot apply for a labor certificate. , Arsenal can't buy you."

Zhang Yuan's words made Zhao Yaning's eyes widen, but Cordia immediately said aside, "Of course, that's fake. Mr. Wenger is French after all, and he still has a lot of friends in China. I asked someone to help , let him say something nice about you."

It turned out to be fake.Zhao Yaning was a little disappointed.Although he is not an Arsenal fan, he has stayed in France for a long time and is used to people's pursuit of Wenger. He also feels that it is a very face-saving thing to be favored by Wenger.But hearing it was false, he was naturally a little disappointed.

However, Zhang Yuan still told him that even if it was fake, Wenger's interest greatly inspired the Chinese fans who heard the news.

Arsenal is now at its peak, and it is the only team in English football that can shake Manchester United's dominance. Wenger is a coach who is famous for his insight and talents. Naturally, the players he likes can't be wrong, and the players come to him The training of subordinates will naturally succeed. Under such circumstances, public opinion will automatically create pressure. It is good to recruit Zhao Yaning into the Chinese national team, even if it is a mascot.

"So I was selected for the national team?"

"Of course it's not that simple." Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "Wenger alone is not enough to believe, so when the Chinese reporters came, Mr. Cordia took them to Spain and interviewed the Valencia team. Coach Benitez."

Valencia has played very well this season, and even has the strength to compete with Real Madrid and Deportivo for the championship. The coach of such a team knows himself, which makes Zhao Yaning even more excited.

"Mr. Benitez talked to the reporter for 10 minutes, and the reporter was stunned. He had never seen anyone so interested in Chinese players, and he was able to talk about it for 10 minutes. You are boasting to the sky. And you know, the relationship between those reporters and the Football Association is not a simple friend."

"But how did you do it? Let a La Liga coach talk to reporters for 10 minutes?" Zhao Yaning couldn't believe it.

"What can't be done? Benitez is a well-known tactical idiot in the industry. Show him your video, and then pull someone to ask him a question about you. He can talk for half an hour. " Cordia said with a smile, "That is to say, you Chinese reporters don't know these things, thinking that the head coach of a giant team like Valencia must have his eyes above the top. In fact, where is European football? That way."

Zhao Yaning glanced at Cordia gratefully. Although Cordia didn’t say anything, it is conceivable that he should work hard to get involved with Wenger, Benitez and others.

"Anyway, let's put it simply, the national football team is ready to let you go to the training camp." Zhang Yuan frowned imperceptibly when he heard Cordia's ridicule of Chinese football, and changed the topic, "The Chinese team will start at the end of April. Now that the game is over, you are going to report to the national team.”[

"But at the end of April, the league is not over yet." Zhao Yaning asked.

"I will talk to Coach Bjota." Cordia said from the side, "The national team is more important, and he will understand."

"Okay, then go get busy first." Zhang Yuan winked at Cordia and told him to leave, then took Zhao Yaning's arm and sat down, "Brother, I know how to play football when you are in the national team." Is it?"

"Perform well and let the coach value..."

"Don't be stupid, then you're going to die." Zhang Yuan had such an expression on his face, "Coach? What kind of onion is he? Once the World Cup is over, he will be out of class. Is there any use in pleasing him?"

"How come, he brought us into the World Cup finals..."

"But that's it. The Chinese team can't achieve better results, but those officials and gentlemen can't say that we are just sent to be stepped on by others, can they? They must shout slogans a few times, and our coach , it is absolutely impossible to meet the standard. When the World Cup is over, the scapegoat will be found."

There was a chill on Zhao Yaning's body. How could Zhang Yuan say such things so easily?In any case, it is also a contribution to bringing Chinese football out of its achievements!

"When you come to the national team, you must first learn to hug your thick legs."

Zhang Yuan taught him, "Dazhen, Gao Lao, Li Xiaoping, these are all from our province. Sun Jihe signed for Manchester City, and he is studying abroad like you, and he has a good relationship with him. And Yu Genwei, He's a nice guy, and there's no harm in pleasing him. As for the other bigwigs of the national team, don't offend them. I learned it when the team was promoted from level to level, but you played well when you were a kid, and the coach treated you like a treasure, so you didn’t suffer. Now you have to learn by yourself.”

"Why should I please them?" Zhao Yaning complained.This season, he scored more than ten goals and assists, and the team's performance is good. The best rookie in Ligue [-] is almost certain.Although the quality of the Ligue [-] league is not high, but such a result is enough to be proud of, why should they still praise people?

"Stupid, a strong dragon does not overwhelm the top snake. No matter how powerful you are, everyone in the national team is the boss. No matter how powerful you are alone, you can still outperform all 98 of them? Is Ronaldo more capable than you? World Cup [-] In the final, no one passed the ball to him, so it doesn’t make sense to be different.”

The '98 final wasn't like that at all.Zhao Yaning wanted to refute a few words, but he thought that Zhang Yuan was a crazy fan of Ronaldo, and his attitude towards the 98 final was always a conspiracy theory, so he held back.

"So, being able to be a man is more important than being able to do things. The half-time Golden Boot player from the German second division is not bad, right? To play for the national team, he went back to China to play football. Is he more sincere than you? But so what? No As a human being, he is always boastful, but people just don’t take him to play! Don’t learn from him.”

"But what you said doesn't seem to be a good thing." Zhao Yaning pouted.

"That's true, but isn't it for making money? You can't live with money, can you?" Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "If this thing really happens this time, you will be famous."

Zhao Yaning didn’t speak.

"There is one more thing that I forgot to tell you." Zhang Yuan patted his head, "I was hired by Cordia's agency to be responsible for your various affairs in China."

This was beyond Zhao Yaning's expectation.

"But I asked you to be my agent at the beginning, and you didn't do it twice." Zhao Yaning couldn't believe it, "Why is Cordia talking better than me?"

"I still say that, you are my brother, I will do things for you, it is not good to take money or not, between friends, once there is money in it, it is not good. But it has nothing to do with him, I earn money I don't care about his money."

"But what he earns is my money." Zhao Yaning interjected, "If you want money, it's just right for you to be my agent, so why give it one more time?"

"After all, he is a European, and he knows the tricks here. As I said just now, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. People are local snakes. Only with his care can you walk smoothly. I will act as your agent. Where can I go?" Contact Wenger? I've become your agent, where can I contact you for a transfer? There is also the relationship between the head coach and the sponsorship contract for you. I can't play in Europe." Zhang Yuan waved his hand, " People are self-aware, if you don’t have diamonds, don’t do porcelain work, I can do it in China, but in Europe, I’m not used to it.”

"You said transfer?" Zhao Yaning heard a word in Zhang Yuan's words, "What transfer?"

This time it was Zhang Yuan's turn to be surprised, "You don't know? Next season, you may have to transfer."

"Where are you going?" Zhao Yaning asked.

"Lyon, or Monaco."
