"This is tv. I will continue to broadcast the opening ceremony of the Beijing World Cup for you. Now, the athletes have left the stadium..."

"Can you turn off that thing? Is it interesting to listen to it all the time?" Sitting in the locker room, Zhao Rang, who had been silent all the time, raised his head. He looked at what his teammates were holding, very interesting A bit dissatisfied, "The game will be played in a while, do you know? This is the opening game. Is it an honor to lose?"

"Will you lose if you play against Côte d'Ivoire? Are you kidding me? A foreigner like you doesn't understand our Chinese expectations for the World Cup."

What the teammate said caused laughter in the locker room, and made Zhao Rang change color and get up, but at this moment, the hand stretched out from behind grabbed his clothes and pulled him back a long way.

"Okay, everyone is going too far." Zhao Yaning's voice made everyone stop talking, "Be quiet for a while, and prepare for the game for a while. You can watch the opening ceremony in the future, don't be in a hurry."

"Okay, Brother Zhao, we all listen to you." The players called Zhao Brother very loudly, "Let's take a break and get ready to play football."

"Zhao Rang, come with me."

The two of them went one after the other, and after reaching a place where no one was around, Zhao Yaning spoke, "Can't the relationship between you and your teammates be better?"

"Obviously they squeezed me out!" Zhao Rang was very dissatisfied, "You saw it yourself, the same thing, they listen to you, but they don't listen to me. Besides, what do they mean by calling you brother? They did it on purpose of……"

"Then why are you unlucky?" Zhao Yaning asked back, "Is there nothing wrong with what you did? I'm too lazy to settle the bad debts with you in England. It's only been a few days since I returned to China for training? How much did you offend?" Trouble? Do you think this is a foreign country, you pat your ass and leave after sleeping with the female reporter? After coming back for a month, how many assholes have you done? Why are you crazy? "

"I just want to be unambiguous during the game."

"How many times have I told you that the game will give you as much as you put in. If you don't work hard like this, you will be the one who suffers in the end." Zhao Yaning said very directly, "If you don't play well, Not maintaining relationships with teammates, not thinking about how to play better, but blind self-confidence-you are looking for death by yourself, if it weren't for your father, I wouldn't talk about you, if you continue like this, you will be unlucky."

Zhao Rang didn't speak any more, just leaned against the wall and ignored him.

"I know that it has something to do with me that you grow up like this. Our adults' affairs have not been handled well, which affects you. But you are a man, a man, and you should be able to bear it if you feel uncomfortable. Your little things , You asked me to apologize, I can do it, but if you use this as an excuse, you will always ruin yourself with this virtue, this is not like a man. "

"It's not because I don't fit in." Zhao Rang waved his hand and wanted to say something, but he still didn't speak.

"If you have any ideas, tell me."

"Have you ever thought about a question-you are 38 years old, and you are still clinging to the national team. This should have been my World Cup trip. This is my first World Cup. It turned out to be yours. I am a well-known star at any rate. People at the same level as me are the core of their respective national teams. But when I come to participate in the World Cup, they all think that I am your assistant. They only listen to your words... This If it was ten years ago, there was nothing wrong with it, but now, everyone ignores me, and I am very awkward."

"I'm 38, how old are you? You have a future. What they say is that I have played for the national team for 20 years and played 200 games. They owe me and want to replenish me. What are you fighting for?" Zhao Yaning said, "Besides, is the position on the court so won? If you are a little more sensible, you still need me to be the boss here? Do you think I am not happy to give you a ride? But look at yourself. Do you look like a leader?"

Zhao Rang didn't speak, but just lowered his head.

"You can be awkward, but if you are awkward, it will become a driving force on the field, not a trouble in the locker room. You remember to me, people have to be with the collective to be successful. Football is a collective sport, not It's that simple." Zhao Yaning said, "It's been 20 years. I've been thinking about such a day since the first time I played in the national team. At that time, you didn't even exist. Give me face and don't make me think about it. 20 The things of the past year have been wasted because of your unhappiness.

"I know, but... But if these people, under your leadership, have already won all the honors, then in the future, what is the direction of my efforts? You have got everything, and what is left for me?" Zhao Jean was still a little dissatisfied, "What should I pursue in the future?

"What's left for you...the goal." Zhao Yaning looked at him, "If you don't know the direction of your efforts, just think about the regrets you left behind. After all, I only won four Asian Cups, the World Cup I don’t know if I can get it. I turned the Chinese team from a third-rate team to a first-rate team, but I didn’t have the time and energy left to turn a first-rate team into a top-notch team. My whole life, The biggest goal is to pursue such a World Cup, but your goal should not be limited to this. Your pursuit should be more ambitious, and your goal should be to turn the team into a top team in the world. Son, you still have a long way to go."

---------------------

"Here is the 2022 World Cup final, the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team. This match will be the highest level of football competition in this World Cup. Now the whole world is watching this match. It should be clear that this game is the 200th and possibly the last game of Zhao Yaning’s national team, but this is also Zhao Yaning’s first World Cup final. Whether he can defeat Brazil is also the focus of attention. "

"On the Chinese side, Zhao Yaning and Zhao Rang are still the focus of attention. The father and son have never played together before at the club, and the two of them have played together for less than ten games. Not to mention, there is indeed an incomprehensibly deep tacit understanding between father and son. In this World Cup, so far, three of Zhao Rang's five goals came from Zhao Yaning's assists, and Zhao Yaning's three goals One of the balls was scored by Zhao Rang's return pass, and only one of his four assists was given to Wu Lei, a veteran of the national team, and the others were given to his son. Obviously, Zhao Yaning's old and strong, He and Zhao Rang are full of youth and form the core of this national team very well."

"This World Cup journey is not easy. Argentina under the command of Veron, Brazil under the command of Emerson, and Portugal under the command of Mourinho are all favorites to win the championship. They are outstanding in strength and difficult to deal with. , However, the Chinese team successfully stood out, defeated all opponents, and advanced to the final."

"I have to say that Zhao Yaning is indeed a national treasure of the Chinese national team. This time the national team's road to promotion is not smooth sailing. In the group stage, they faced Côte d'Ivoire. Coach Drogba once directed the team to play a very good advantage. , but was finally defeated by Zhao Rang. In the match against Ukraine, the morale of the Ukrainian team increased greatly when their Deputy Prime Minister Shevchenko came to the stadium in person, and it was like a divine help to draw with the Chinese team. In the last game, Zhao Rang and Zhao Yaning each scored a goal, defeated Argentina, and finally got through."

"In the knockout round, in the 16-to-8 match, the Chinese team defeated the Italian team, which was in poor condition, and broke the first big upset. Then, when 8-to-4, the Chinese team faced the Netherlands again. The game was very exciting. In the end, the Chinese team relied on Zhao Rang to score twice, and the Dutch team became a stalemate. Then, Zhao Yaning’s goal successfully beat the Netherlands, and the Chinese team won. In the semi-finals against Germany, Because of the excellent arrangement of the German coach Lahm, the Chinese team was almost defeated. In the end, Zhao Yaning’s free kick was the savior and helped the Chinese team equalize. Succeeded, killed the German team, and made the Chinese team advance to the final. Zhao Yaning played quite low-key in this World Cup. It is very important. It can be said that each of them is a golden goal, which brought the Chinese team to this stage. Old and strong, well-deserved reputation. And Xianza, he finally got what he wanted, the World Cup This is his lifelong dream and pursuit."

"And beside him, the members of the national team are also quite outstanding. This time the Chinese national team is a combination of the old, the middle and the young. Wu Lei, ** Peng and others among the veterans are still playing, but more It’s just imparting experience, and the teenagers are now the main candidates for the national team. Most of them are now playing in the five major leagues, and their level is quite good. In the national team, Zhao Yaning has even kneaded them into a whole , played extremely smoothly. The Chinese national team has developed by leaps and bounds in the past ten years. We all remember that when Zhao Yaning played for the national team for the first time, the ranking of the national team was only 70. But now , The ranking of the Chinese team is already in the top [-] in the world. You must know that the Chinese team did not have Zhao Rang at that time, but this time, Zhao Rang also started to play, and our hopes are even greater."

"The Brazil team can't be ignored. Under the leadership of their veteran Neymar, they are doing well now. The coach of the Brazil team, Emerson, is a good coach. Under his command, Brazil played very well, but their young The teenager, Machado, known as Zhao Rang's lifelong enemy, did not perform very well, and the Chinese team's odds of winning are quite high."

The sound of fans cheering and cheering echoed around, which also made Zhao Yaning raise his head and look at the stadium.This is the home stadium of the Chinese team. This 10-person stadium, which was completed two years ago, is the most advanced stadium in the world. Here, every time he hears the cheers of the fans, Zhao Yaning has a feeling: This is the game I want, where I want to win.

"The game is about to start. The stadium is full of excitement. This stadium will see the most important match of their name. This is a step for Zhao Yaning, and it is also a step for Chinese football..."

"Father, are you ready?"

Behind him, Zhao Rang's voice came.Zhao Yaning turned his head and glanced at him, nodded, "I have been preparing for 20 years, so of course I am ready. You should also be more serious. You know, your mother also came to watch the game. Surprise her and let her Make her happy."

"She came to see you, not me." Zhao Rang muttered.

"Come and see us—go, let's play. Let this game be our last big stage!"
