Junior football dream

Chapter 9 Chinese Media
Li Tian is a sports reporter, but the word trainee needs to be added in front of it.Because he had just graduated, he could only work as a helper all the time, doing odd jobs behind his old colleagues.However, this time he finally had a chance.The above gave him a task, which was to go to Brazil to do an interview task.Originally, it was not his turn to do this task, but he had the opportunity because he had to interview the old reporter because he had something to do at home.

"Hey, let's just leave the country for free."

He is also very happy to think that he can go abroad to experience it.His main task this time is to report on the Copa Libertadores game and write a few special articles.As the largest sports newspaper in the country, "Sports Weekly" has always demanded the latest and fastest news.It would be great if he could send a few news articles with reports.

Li Tianxia got off the plane, settled his accommodation, and went to the stadium to kill.He didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that there must not be many valuable reports here.After all, compared with the Libertadores Cup in South America, the Chinese are more familiar with the European Cup or something.Although there are many outstanding players here in South America, the Chinese are still very unfamiliar with the stars here, so they naturally don't pay much attention to them.

When he saw Zhou Xing, he knew he was going to get rich this time.In a foreign high-level league, there is a Chinese who is playing football, and he is very young. This is simply such a sensational news.

Excited to be excited, Li Tian still watched the game carefully and attentively.It's just that he has shifted his focus from caring about the outcome of the game to focusing on Zhou Xing's performance in this game.

In the game, Zhou Xing lived up to his expectations, scored two goals, and was the number one contributor to the team's victory.It is unusual to see Chinese people.

As soon as the game whistle blew, Li Tian rushed to Zhou Xing's side, wanting to interview him.It's just that he was still a little slow. Before him, there were reporters from several Brazilian TV stations who surrounded Zhou Xing.

Seeing this, Corinthians club officials hurriedly stopped the reporter.In order to protect young players, the club does not allow them to conduct interviews, so as not to be overwhelmed by the media.

"I'm sorry, I have nothing to comment. You can ask Coach Scolari after the press conference." Zhou Xing spoke the official language proficiently, and under the protection of the club's officials, he wanted to walk into the player tunnel.

In the crowd, Li Tian pushed aside the other reporters, rushed to Zhou Xing and said, "Hello, I am a reporter from China's "Sports Weekly". As a Chinese, I am very proud of you. May I ask you Can you accept my brief interview?"

In the confusion, Zhou Xing saw a man with the same yellow skin and black eyes speaking a piece of Chinese to him, and he was a little stunned.Because he lives in Brazil, he doesn't know much Chinese.It's just that he learned a little bit under the education of his parents and Li Tiande when he was young.However, since Li Tian spoke so quickly just now, he obviously didn't understand the meaning.

Seeing Zhou Xing's puzzled look, Li Tian understood that he might not know much Chinese, so he quickly said it again in English.Zhou Xing understood this time, but there are too many reporters here, so of course he couldn't agree on the spot.

"Sorry, I'm not free right now, wait until next time."

After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he quickly rushed into the player tunnel under the protection of the security guards.

In the player tunnel, seeing no one around, he said to the club official, "Excuse me, please help me bring that Chinese man to my locker room, thank you."

Seeing that the number one star in the team asked him to do something, the club officials ran away to find Li Tian.

At this moment, Li Tianzheng felt lost for a while.

"Well, even the Chinese don't accept my interview. It seems that I won't get any valuable news this time."

Just when he was feeling sorry for himself, the middle-aged club official saved him.

"Hello, Zhou Xing asked me to take you to his locker room."

"what?"

Li Tian, ​​who had only learned a little Portuguese, couldn't quite understand what the club officials said just now in Portuguese.However, he still understood the word Zhou Xing.

"You mean, tell me to go?"

After a few gestures, Li Tian finally understood what the club official meant, and hurriedly followed him to Zhou Xing's locker room.

At this time, Zhou Xing had already changed his clothes and was waiting for Li Tian in the players' locker room.

"Hello, I am a reporter from China's "Sports Weekly". I would like to conduct an interview with you. Is it possible?" Li Tian said respectfully in Portuguese.

"Sports Weekly, is it a newspaper? Does it have a large circulation?" Zhou Xing still doesn't know Chinese well enough, so he can only guess what Li Tian means.

"Yes, it's a newspaper with a large circulation, probably 400 million copies in one issue." Li Tian said with a smile.

"OMG, 400 million copies."

Living in Brazil, Zhou Xing has never heard of any newspaper in Brazil with such a large sales volume.Hearing this, he gasped.

"Interview, yes. But now I'm very hungry, let's talk while walking."

Zhou Xing picked up his bag of clothes and smiled at Li Tian.

After some conversations, the relationship between the two has become very harmonious.At the dinner table, the two chatted while eating.During the conversation, Li Tian also got a general idea of ​​Zhou Xing's information.

"16 years old, the top scorer. The future is limitless."

Thinking of this, Li Tian felt excited.Perhaps, his future is tied to this young man.

"By the way, which country is your nationality? Is it China or Brazil?"

Li Tian suddenly thought of this question.Because Zhou Xing's excellent performance at this time will inevitably attract the attention of international football.And his talent is one of the best among Brazilian teenagers.Under such circumstances, he will definitely be called up by the national team.

"Nationality? I don't know, maybe it's double. Because I was born in China and grew up in Brazil."

Zhou Xing said with a smile, he had never thought about this question.

"What if the national team calls you? Will you join the Chinese national team or the Brazilian national team?"

Li Tian continued to ask.He thought, this time it will take Li Fan some thinking.

To his surprise, Zhou Xing did not hesitate at all, and said firmly: "Of course it is the Chinese national team!" When he first came into contact with football, Li Tiande told him that he must do his part for Chinese football.

Hearing this, Li Tian quickly picked up his pen and recorded it.Then, he smiled again: "As the top scorer in the Copa Libertadores, you will definitely attract the attention of European clubs. As a football player, do you have any dreams?"

At this time, Zhou Xing said firmly: "My dream is to become a member of the Chinese national team one day and win the Hercules Cup with them."

In the Chinese Football Association, a group of officials with big bellies were also discussing Zhou Xing's issue in the conference room.

"How about that kid, is he really that amazing?" an official asked.

"However, he is very famous, and I have watched his games. As a 16-year-old boy, his performance is indeed remarkable." A person who is working as a coach said.

"Okay then, send a few people to watch his games. If he performs well, he will be directly recruited into the national team!" A leader-like guy said.
