ball at foot

Every July [-]th is the day of the college entrance examination. At this time, people who take the exam in the exam room or those who are waiting outside the exam room will feel particularly anxious.

Zhao Yaning still went to the scene.Although Beibei felt that it was inappropriate for him to appear there, he thought it would be inappropriate for him not to go.What's more, Beibei's mother's plan to come with Beibei didn't work out: in order to avoid accidents, the school asked all boarding students to leave the school and go directly to the test center by school bus, and parents were not allowed to take students there.

But such regulations cannot prohibit the parents of the students. Outside the examination room, a sea of ​​students and parents blocked half of the road, and under the shade of the trees, there was no gap at all.

"It's a hot day, is it all right? It seems like my child can really get into some good university." Zhang Yuan sat in the car, flipping through a magazine in his hand, and commenting on these parents .

Zhao Yaning hummed, but did not speak.Like Zhang Yuan, he has never experienced the college entrance examination. They are born in sports, and they really don't have much personal experience of the anxiety of college entrance examination candidates. [

Their emotions come more from these parents who hope their children will become a success.They blocked the traffic, so that Zhao Yaning could only park the car far away to watch the school for the exam.

Fortunately, his car is not bad: this is a car that Zhang Yuan borrowed from a sponsoring company. Although it has been used for a long time, it is definitely high-end.

"What do you think you are here for?" Zhang Yuan, who was pulled to act as a temporary driver, was a little dissatisfied, "If there is a problem, there will be a teacher leading the team, and the parents will take care of her when you leave the examination room. You are here, except for a look or two. What else can you do? You don’t even dare to get out of the car, if there is a fan outside, you will all follow the fans all morning nonsense.”

"I just think that if I don't worry about her taking the exam inside, it would be a bit uninteresting."

"How can you help me in a hurry?" Zhang Yuan snorted, "Young people are good, and such a painful thing can be regarded as sweet."

Zhao Yaning ignored him, just lowered his head, kept thinking about the movements that Coach Petit said, simulating the details of those movements in his heart.

"Otherwise, you read these magazines? Domestic football magazines are now introducing you at length. You can see for yourself. There are some places where you can have fun."

"Not in the mood." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "It's all nonsense. Not a few words are true. It's a disgusting thing, and it looks disgusting."

"Where are you going to find so many real things?" Zhang Yuan laughed, "Just say that the running results have been blown up by everyone for so many years. If you say the truth now, no one will believe it."

Zhao Yaning snorted and did not speak.

The bragging of the Chinese media for many years has become a habit, and every player has to brag about his miraculousness before he can give up.In their eyes, football players are almost a mixture of track and field athletes, jugglers, and the protagonists of inspirational movies. Such boasting is quite interesting when it is used on others, but it is too much to use it on yourself. It's weird.

Zhao Yaning couldn't stand that kind of flattery, so he simply avoided it.

"Otherwise, let me help you find out who is your mother-in-law, and you go to get close?" Zhang Yuan asked, "At this time, she is in a hurry. If you are sweeter and comforter, then it is guaranteed to be a good impression. Ah. With a little improvisation, maybe this matter can be made public now."

Zhao Yaning glanced at Zhang Yuan and ignored him.Indeed, what Zhang Yuan said was possible.But it's more likely that Beibei got angry directly after she came out, which would cause her troubles in the exam.

"What are you doing? You've been swaying all the time, never stopping." Zhang Yuan still couldn't help asking Zhao Yaning.

"I'm thinking about some of my previous game moves." Zhao Yaning raised his head, "I benefited a lot from the conversation with Coach Petit, and it really broadened my horizons. Now I have to make up for the homework that I didn't do before." .”

Zhao Yaning said this from the heart.

In China, technical training was not mature.Although the coaches also train them, it is to develop their dribbling ability, speed and ankle flexibility.Chinese football lacks enough outstanding experience and coaches to accumulate, and there are not enough people to teach them technical essentials. The players make their names almost all by their own talents.

After arriving in France, coach Pijota conducted technical and standardized training on him.This standardization of ankle joint movements has taken Zhao Yaning's technique a step further and is on the right track. [

And now, Coach Petit's words are even more ingenious.Tell him to design his own technical movements according to his personal characteristics.From blind imitation to self-designed growth, this process allowed Zhao Yaning to see the possibility of further improvement in his abilities, and it also made him work harder.

"You're really not crazy, you can't survive." Zhang Yuan laughed twice, but didn't say anything.This is the foundation of a player's success. If Zhao Yaning didn't have this temper, he would not be able to achieve results.

But Zhang Yuanyuan had more important things to tell him.

"Afraid of messing things up? Don't worry, I have already prepared a solution for you." Zhang Yuan took out a certificate from his backpack with a smile, "Let's take a look."

"National second-level athlete? What's the use of this thing?" Zhao Yaning asked in confusion.

"It's not for you, open it and have a look."

Zhao Yaning opened the certificate, and Qi Beibei's name was impressively written on it.

"I just said, there is no harm in the sports committee's kung fu." Looking at the stunned Zhao Yaning, Zhang Yuan smiled triumphantly, "Didn't expect it? I asked them for this thing. This year's college entrance examination policy , with this thing, you can add 20 points."

Zhao Yaning opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to speak, "But, Beibei doesn't know how to do any exercise at all."

"Does she need to know anything? Regardless of whether she will or not, the black and white letters and the big red seal are unmistakable. Anyway, the Sports Commission issued a certificate and helped clear up the relationship with the Education Commission. The 20 points were added. , isn’t it over?”

Zhao Yaning did not expect that the Sports Committee could do such a thing.He had been holding back his anger and didn't know who to send it to, until he saw this thing, which made his anger a little less.

"Put it away, don't make it dirty again, it doesn't look good when you hand it over." Zhang Yuan said from the side, "You are straightforward and have little experience. You always think that one is one and two is two. But in fact, there is There are many twists and turns. This thing is not worth a penny to them, and all the procedures have been completed in six hours. But for you, this thing cannot be bought with money, and for her, it is even more difficult. A good thing that can change the results of the college entrance examination. This is the college entrance examination that stipulates that candidates can add up to 20 points, otherwise, I dare to ask them to get your girlfriend another student who saves three good students, and you can get more points."

"This thing won't be found out, right?" Zhao Yaning still had some doubts, "Beibei is a sports idiot, she became an athlete, it's too unreliable."

"The Provincial Sports Commission helped you cheat, what are you afraid of? She didn't do it alone." Zhang Yuan said, "If you say that the Sports Commission did it, it's not bad. Although we are not authentic people, we Compared with other places, the province is more kind. I won’t talk about this stuff. Your father’s job is going to be transferred, and your uncle is getting old. Let’s change to a leisurely job. Besides, they told me, If you take care of it, you will be able to benefit from uncle in any promotion, house allocation and other things in the future. Although this kind of care is not a lot, it can be regarded as their dedication."

Of course Zhao Yaning knew it well.To say that the arrangements for him above are really considerate and thoughtful.Beibei's exams, Dad's job, these are things that have nothing to do with their own football, they can intervene and mix them up.But the more this is the case, the more bored Zhao Yaning feels in his heart: Isn't it good to use these thoughts on football?

What is this for?

Zhao Yaning looked at the certificate in his hand, and smiled wryly for a long time, "Twenty points, this is really a good thing. Beibei has worked so hard to study, but he can't improve much, and a piece of paper can improve [-] points." .However, since it’s a fake, let’s just get a first-level one, what’s the second-level one.”

Of course, Zhao Yaning would not be stupid enough to refuse this thing.Although I really hate this kind of deceit, but it's about Beibei's college entrance examination, so it's better to put away his little sense of justice for now.

"Idiot, don't you understand anything? The second-level college entrance examination gives extra points, and the first-level one becomes a direct admission of sports students. There are many ways to cheat, and there are many ways here."

Zhao Yaning didn't know what to say, how could he understand these things?Who has nothing to do and thinks about cheating every day?

"After the exam, you take this thing, put on some nice clothes, and come to visit. Just say that your classmates are helping, don't make it too clear, no one is stupid, people can tell what you mean. I don't believe that no matter how angry his parents are, they can throw this thing out. At that time, there will be a treat, as long as you have a sweet mouth, and then...you don't need to pretend, you are quite honest, his parents are sure I won't give you serious words. If you're lucky, this matter will be settled. Isn't it much better than your girlfriend's three-year plan?"

Zhang Yuan's teaching made Zhao Yaning nod again and again, "Brother Zhang, thank you so much. How could I never think of these things." [

Zhang Yuan smiled and said nothing.If Zhao Yaning could figure out these crooked things, his football would have basically been thrown away.

Human energy is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything.Zhao Yaning spent all his energy on football, and naturally he would not think well about other things.This is also the reason for the existence of agents. They just check and fill in the gaps for the players and handle chores. Who needs agents?

"Ningzi, since you don't object to this matter, I have one more thing I want to discuss with you." Zhang Yuan's face became serious, "About money."

"There is something I need to discuss with you." Zhang Yuan said again, "You have a lot of money now, this time the domestic part of the advertisements, there are always 200 million, plus your With the signing fee and last season's bonus, you are now worth nearly 500 million. Have you thought about doing something?"

What Zhang Yuan was talking about was Zhao Yaning's current income. In fact, including his current annual salary and the commercial endorsement contacted by Cordia in France, his income and savings are even higher.

Zhao Yaning had kept the money and it was useless. Although he took it home, his parents were worried that he would not be used to eating and living outside, so they refused to keep more. They just kept some, and they didn’t want the rest.And Zhao Yaning himself has no place to spend money, and it has been useless all the time, so he deposited all the money with Cordia.As an agent, helping his players manage their finances is also one of his jobs.

Zhao Yaning shook his head, "Isn't it always your arrangement?"

"I'm in charge of your personal life. Your money is with Cordia, and he is in charge of it." Zhang Yuan sighed secretly. Sure enough, Zhao Yaning didn't have any idea about these things. You, take care of your personal affairs, and don't need me to take care of more things. I remind you to let you watch yourself care about your own money. "

"What kind of caring method?"

"If you have any investment projects, you can ask him to invest the money in the designated projects. If not, put the money with Cordia, and according to the contract, he will invest the money himself."

"Isn't it good for him to invest?" Zhao Yaning asked.

"Anyway, my opinion is that foreigners can't be trusted." Zhang Yuan didn't care that he was an employee of Cordia. The problem is, they are all experts. But when it comes to business investment, they are also amateurs like us. I have seen his investment projects in the company, and they are not throwing money into some trustworthy foundations in France to generate income. He is different from you. His investment projects are looking for projects that can make a profit without losing money, so as to avoid taking responsibility. But such projects, the income is definitely not big. If you want to earn more yourself, you have to take it yourself Invest your money."

Although 500 million yuan is not a lot of money, it is already a considerable gain for Zhang Yuan and Zhao Yaning.Zhang Yuan didn't know what Zhao Yaning would play in the future. To put it in a bad way, he might break his leg tomorrow.After going through the days of struggling to find a job in society after leaving the team, Zhang Yuan knew that the money was of great significance to Zhao Yaning. in a hurry.

"But what is investing? I don't know anything about these. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head, "Don't be kidding, I'm just a crooked person, 500 million yuan for me to do business? I don't have the ability, let alone the guts. I don't read much more than you, this businessman Things, I can't come. What's more, I told you a long time ago, don't talk about money between brothers. No matter how good the relationship between brothers is, I can't stand the toss of tickets. I won't let you take care of money. .”

"Then I can't help it. You have?"

Zhang Yuan hesitated and shook his head.

He is now in charge of many things about Zhao Yaning.And he has been persuading Zhao Yaning to calm down in the national team, which has made Zhao Yaning very dissatisfied.If he interfered with money matters again, he was afraid that the brothers would really break up.

Zhang Yuan is not Zhao Yaning, he is a sensible person.There is no one who does business without cheating, and it is impossible to explain the tricks in it clearly.Not to mention that he and Zhao Yaning are not biological brothers, even if they are biological brothers, how many people have broken up because of money?

So these things, he said that it is over, and more things, let Zhao Yaning find the way by himself.

But thinking of this, Zhang Yuan also began to make small calculations in his heart: it is still a bit meaningless to help Zhao Yaning by himself.He is not Zhao Yaning, he is more concerned about other things. He also knows that Yao Ming in Shanghai became the No. .

But he couldn't do those things alone, and neither could Zhao Yaning.No matter how you say Yao Ming is from a basketball family, the rules and connections in the industry have been cleared up long ago, and his brother's eyes are all black.Things here have to be done slowly.It's just that Zhao Yaning himself is a person who doesn't have much thought. In this regard, he still has to worry about it.

"But I don't know anything about business." Zhao Yaning thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head, "I think of an industry."

Zhang Yuan nodded.

"I want to start a football school."

Zhang Yuan was greatly surprised by these words, "Football school? Ningzi, we all came out of football school, and we all know how to do it. You run a football school? If you want to make money, this is a matter of conscience." , if you don’t make money, this is the bottom hole. Are you going to lose your conscience, or are you going to fill in the hole?”

Zhao Yaning waved his hand before speaking, "No, I just want to spend some of the money to start a football school first. It doesn't have to be particularly large, it can be smaller. If you lose some money, you can lose some money, don't lose too much More will do."

"Why? What are you trying to do? I want you to use your money to find ways to make money, not to use it to lose your nerve. If there is that, wouldn't it be good for you to buy things for your uncle and aunt? "

Zhao Yaning shook his head, "This is not my original creation. When I was in France, I saw many black players. After they had money, they opened football schools in their hometowns in Africa. I think that doing this will give you back. Things in society should be good..."

"What do you compare with those guys? Their black heads are full of muscles, their brains are not clear, and your brain is not clear either? What kind of society do you want to repay? You have today, and you are kicked out of the name by virtue of your ability. What does society give you? Don’t you? You don’t have to pay them back!”

"Brother Zhang, what you said is a bit too much. If you are in France, it would be racial discrimination." Although Zhao Yaning's tone was gentle, his expression was firm. "Brother Zhang, you also know the current football situation in our country. I am looking for it. The ones who got the chance, but what about the ones who didn’t? They didn’t have a good life. Let’s just say you, when you left the team, you weren’t in shape like you are now. And you could still play twice What about your feet, now? It's only been a few years, and your football skills are all useless."

Zhang Yuan blushed, but said nothing.

"I just thought, don't spend too much money to set up a football school, spend a little bit, the scale is smaller, and you don't need too many people. But you need to make the things of the football school more formal and do it in a down-to-earth manner. Let’s be real. You say those Africans are stupid, but Africans know how to spend their money on their fellow countrymen. If I have money and just think about having fun, wouldn’t I be worse than them?”

"Isn't your words discriminatory?" Zhang Yuan glanced at him and sat up straight, "Brother, if you have the heart, that's enough. This is not something you can do alone, so don't Keep working hard. What kind of venue, equipment, training personnel, these are all easy to solve. But what about the others? Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the trained players, where to send them? The club? The Wanwan in China’s youth training Wow, don’t you know yourself? Even you yourself couldn’t play football in China. The people you trained can play football? Besides, this training will inevitably lead to injuries. If you get injured, who Pay for the treatment? You? You can’t afford it. You’re almost lucky. After a few major operations, you’ll be poor. Let them pay for it themselves? You also know that when a football injury recovers, the money in it is gone. This It's not something you can't do."

While talking, Zhang Yuan sighed, "Don't compare with Africa, they have a special environment. They play football, and if they play football, they will change their lives. Otherwise, they will be poor all their lives. They dare to bet. Can we do it? We The country is not that poor, so no one gambles."

Zhao Yaning sighed, and he also faintly felt that he might not be able to do so, but he couldn’t tell Zhang Yuan so many ways. He also felt helpless after hearing what Zhang Yuan said at this time.

"If you have no choice, then I'll give the money to my brother first." After thinking for a while, Zhao Yaning said.

"What does your brother do?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Isn't my dad in the factory? My brother also works at the factory. There is a construction team in the factory, and he works in that construction team. But now that the factory is in a recession, their construction team also says it can't do it. I need to contract out. My brother is worried about the future. If I have money here, I can just give the money to my brother and let him contract the construction team. I won’t be able to go home often in the future, and my parents will still have me. My brother will take care of me, my brother will live well here, and my family will also be able to manage well."

Zhao Yaning’s words made it difficult for Zhang Yuan to say anything.Although this is not in line with his original intention, but Zhao Yaning spent the money on his family members. Although Zhang Yuan did not agree very much, he was not easy to object. He could only echo, "The construction industry is also good. Isn't it said that the real estate industry is very popular now? There are many houses built, and there must be a lot of money."

"How much can that thing earn? How about a house? Can it continue to be built? Brother Zhang, you have a good eloquence. If you have time, you should persuade my brother to learn something seriously."

Zhang Yuan had his own thoughts in his mind, but he kept nodding his head.In the bottom of his heart, he still felt that if there was a chance, he had to arrange it well.

"If all these are properly arranged, then I can rest assured that I can go abroad and continue playing football."
