Junior football dream

Chapter 12 Returning to China
The plane landed slowly and landed at BJ's airport.Zhou Litian, who came from the plane security checkpoint, was full of fatigue, while Zhou Xing looked energetic.When he returned to China for the first time, he couldn't calm down for a long time.As soon as he got off the plane, he clamored for Li Tian to take him to eat BJ's roast duck and try Chinese food.

However, when he walked out of the security checkpoint, the situation in front of him shocked him.

"My God, why are there so many people!" Seeing the dense crowd in front of him, Zhou Xing almost fainted from fright.Seeing this, he quickly retreated back to the exit.

"What's going on, Li Tian." Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhou Xing asked hastily.

When Li Tian walked to the front, he was also taken aback.I saw a bunch of people in front, including reporters, people welcoming with flowers, and some leaders who looked like leaders.

When it was approaching, Zhou Xing called the Chinese Football Association and told him that he was going back to China.I thought they could help Zhou Xing in China.However, now it seems that the whole of China seems to know that Zhou Xing is back.And the possibility that he wants to take a peaceful walk around and get to know his motherland is almost zero.

Li Tian understands the power of the Chinese media. Here, their power is almost omnipotent.Now it seems that Zhou Xing may be accompanied by someone when he goes to the bathroom.Thinking of the paparazzi and their terror methods, cold sweat dripped down Li Tian's head.

"Don't, don't be afraid, it's just a crowd that welcomes you."

Li Tian comforted Zhou Xing, telling him not to worry about it, it would be fine as usual.However, there was a nervous look on his face.

"This time, it's really difficult." He said in his heart.

No way, the two of them bit the bullet and walked out.As soon as he reached the door, he saw the flashing lights in front of him, and countless reporters rushed forward, trying to surround Zhou Xing.

The security guards at the airport had been notified a long time ago, so they stopped them quickly and made way for Zhou Xing so that Zhou Xing could walk out.

"Welcome welcome, warm welcome!"

A group of children holding flowers shouted slogans loudly, and the movements of their hands were also very neat.Don't look, they are probably sent by the Chinese Football Association to welcome Zhou Xing.As a reporter, Li Tian understands this very well.

Looking at the hot and sweaty child in a white shirt and a red scarf, Zhou Xing's sweat dripped off his face. "Oh, I don't seem to be used to such grandeur."

Relying on the Chinese he learned, Zhou Xing could barely see a banner in front of him. "Welcome Zhou Xing to come back after studying and serve the motherland." These big characters also made Zhou Xing decipher for a long time, and finally figured out their meaning.

Seeing Zhou Xing and Li Tian coming out, a leader-like person rushed up, held Zhou Xing's hand and shook it, saying, "Hello, Zhou Xing. Welcome back!"

Zhou Xing was a little dizzy from the situation in front of him, and asked in confusion, "You are? Are you here to pick me up?"

But of course Li Tian knew this person, and he was very familiar with him.As one of the vice-chairmen of the Chinese Football Association, Yang Long is quite famous.It's just that I didn't expect that he could be used to greet Zhou Xing in person this time, which is very surprising.

"Hi, Chairman Yang. I'm Zhou Xing's translator, and his Chinese isn't very good. I didn't expect you to come here for this labor. I'm really sorry."

Seeing this, Li Tian hurriedly spoke politely.After saying this, Li Tian explained to Zhou Xing that this is the vice chairman of the Football Association, and he specially came to pick up Zhou Xing today.

"The vice chairman is here to pick me up, my God." Thinking of this, the sweat on Zhou Xing's forehead fell again.

At this time, the media began to ask questions.

"May I ask Zhou Xingxing, how do you feel when you return to China to join the national team this time?"

"I heard that you are going to transfer recently and leave Brazil to play in Europe. I don't know which giants you like more in your mind?"

"This time, you rejected the call of the Brazilian youth team and joined the Chinese national youth team. This move is really surprising. I don't know what you think."

A series of fast and sharp questions were thrown at Zhou Xing at once, making him at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing Zhou Xing's embarrassment, Yang Long certainly wouldn't just sit idly by.Holding the microphone, he said: "Zhou Xing is very tired after more than ten hours of flying. In a few days, we will hold a small press conference. If you have any questions, you can ask them slowly. .But now, Zhou Xing has to go back to the hotel to rest first."

"Really. Excuse me. I heard that the Football Association is planning to re-clean recently. It intends to dismantle some bloated institutions and carry out reforms. I don't know if it is true." Seeing Yang Long speak, a reporter asked hurriedly.

"Yes, we are planning to carry out a reform of the Football Association. However, it is still a little early to say. We will tell everyone when everything is ready."

As expected of Yang Long, who has been through battles for a long time, he has no fear at all, and his answers are impeccable.

"With Zhou Xing joining the national team this time, the strength will definitely be greatly enhanced. I don't know what is your goal for the upcoming World Youth Championship in the Netherlands?" Another reporter asked.

"Goal. Our goal is to play every game as well as possible! Okay, that's all." Yang Long waved his hand after saying this.Under the leadership of several people, Zhou Xing and Li Tian sat on the domestic red flag, and together with Yang Long, they arrived at the BJ Friendship Hotel.This hotel is also a five-star hotel, and it is a special hotel for the Chinese Football Association.

After getting off the car and walking into the hotel, Zhou Xing sighed at the luxury here.In Brazil, never seen such a luxurious hotel.However, Yang Long is not surprised.

Seeing that Zhou Xing was a little tired, he smiled and said to Zhou Xing and Li Tian: "Your room has been arranged, it is a suite. The conditions are a bit crude, don't be disgusted."

Seeing the resplendent hall, Zhou Xing's heart is still simple, is there any mistake?In Brazil, he had never stayed in such a nice hotel.

When they went to play games in other places, they would only stay in ordinary hotels at most, how could there be such a high-end hotel for them to live in.

"Okay, then thank you, Chairman Yang." Seeing Zhou Xing's blank look, Li Tian hurriedly said polite words for him, so as not to be rude to others.

"The Football Association has a welcome banquet tonight, and someone will pick you up at eight o'clock." After Yang Long finished speaking, he drifted away with his helpers.

※※※

Led by the hotel attendant, Zhou Xing and Li Tian walked into their room.The luxury and extravagance in front of them still surprised the two of them.Everything is here, it's like a palace.Only then did Li Tian realize that Yang Long booked the presidential suite for Zhou Xing.

"No, why do I feel that something is wrong."

Zhou Xing said to Li Tian lying on the big soft and white bed.It stands to reason, although he is good at the game.It's just that he is only 16 years old and has little experience. It's too grand to use the vice chairman of the Football Association to pick him up.

"I also feel that there is something wrong. But, let me make a call to the president of our newspaper first, otherwise, my job will not be guaranteed."

After Li Tian finished speaking, he started calling their president.Now, he is just a cameo as Zhou Xing's translator.After all, his job is still a reporter.

"Oh okay, I know."

After talking with his president, Li Tiancai understood the ins and outs of the matter, and also understood why Yang Long paid so much attention to Zhou Xing this time.

For a long time, Chinese fans have hated the Football Association, thinking that these guys are free.Indeed, over the years, they have done nothing, and they have done a lot of stupid things.

The grievances accumulated by the fans will always explode, and some people continue to report to the State Sports General Administration, demanding reform of the Football Association.The State Sports General Administration finally decided to reform the Football Association.

However, due to the return of Zhou Xing and joining the national team, the disappointed fans found a ray of comfort.The resentment towards the Football Association has also been reduced a lot.And in this way, the voice of external opposition to the Football Association is also much smaller.

This time, the Football Association's emphasis on Zhou Xing also has a purpose.This time, if Zhou Xing can be won and more good things can be said about the Football Association, the negative image of the Football Association may be reversed.

Unintentionally, Zhou Xing got involved in the power struggle and became a tool of the Football Association.But, will it go so smoothly together?
It took Li Tian a long time to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, and he also understood the weight and complexity of the banquet at night.However, Zhou Xing didn't think so much.

Tired and excited for a long time, he was already lying on the bed and fell asleep, with a childish smile on his face and drooling from the corner of his mouth. His sleeping appearance was really not flattering.

Seeing Zhou Xing's appearance, Li Tian laughed and covered him with a quilt.At this time, he realized that Zhou Xing was only 16 years old, and he was only a child.A child as old as he is still hiding in the arms of his parents, eating and selling McDonald's, KFC, surfing the Internet, and listening to music.

But he has to shoulder the important task of revitalizing Chinese football and carries countless hopes.His future is not just ordinary hardships!
