Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 26 Chinese Soccer is Big and Bountiful

After sleeping beautifully, Yan Feng embarked on a new journey with the team the next day.The seventh game of the Shenzhen team will go to Shenyang to play against the Zhongze team.This is the first stop in the devil's schedule that the Shenzhen Red Diamonds will start.

Why do you say it is the devil's schedule?The reason is that the Shenzhen Red Diamonds will play away against Shenyang Zhongze in the seventh round, Harbin Yiteng in the eighth round, and Qingdao Zhongneng in the ninth round.

Crazy three consecutive players, seeing such a schedule, Yan Feng wondered if the China League One tournament committee was crazy.

The Shenyang Zhongze team, which is the first to face, ranked almost the same as the Shenzhen team last season, and their strength is not too strong, but the Shenzhen team's strength has declined sharply this season, and this game is not easy to play.For this game, the outside world generally looked down on the Shenzhen Red Diamonds.

Various sports media have believed that this year's Shenzhen Red Diamond team itself has dropped in strength, and now the captain Wang Dong's injury has caused the team's combat effectiveness to become dregs.In the last game against the newly promoted Meizhou Hakka team, luck was enough to equalize the score. This time it is another expedition with hard work. It is very difficult not to lose```
然后那些体育媒体都不约而同地给出了这场比赛的比分预测。有说1比3的，有说0比3的，```而最看衰深圳队的是足球报，尔比那家伙竟然说深圳队会以0比5被横扫。

In the end, Erby even said that if Yan Feng, a farmer, plays again, if he is not sent off by a red card, he will go streaking.

No matter how these voices from the outside world are, it doesn't matter to Yan Feng now.Because now Yan Feng is feeling the pain of the vast land and resources of the motherland.

When it comes to the vast land and abundant resources, Chinese people often feel extremely proud in their hearts.But to Yan Feng, who is now in Shenyang, it has nothing to do with pride and completion, but more of an unsuitability to the climate.

In Shenzhen in April, except for the chill in the morning and evening, the rest of the time is very mild and comfortable.Shenyang, which is located in the northeast, is much colder. The temperature of about 10 degrees is similar to that of Guangdong in winter.This is hard for Yan Feng, who has never been to the north.

At this time, Yan Feng, who had just walked out of the airport, had to shrink his neck, shivering a little from the cold.Seeing that all the companions around have put on coats, Yan Feng is only wearing a very thin sports windbreaker, so it's no wonder that he isn't cold.

"Brother Feng, you don't have to be so brave, right? Don't you feel cold in such a thin coat?" Lin Fan, who was wearing a thick coat, walked over with a suitcase, and it seemed that he was already prepared.

"Still brave? Didn't you see that I was trembling?" A gust of wind blew, and Yan Feng couldn't help shrinking his neck again.

"Don't you have thicker clothes?"

"I have never been to Shenyang, so I don't know that Shenyang is still so cold now."

"Don't tell me, you haven't traveled far during this season?"

"Before joining the Shenzhen team, I had never been out of the province. It's been quite warm in Shenzhen recently. I've always dressed like this. I didn't expect the temperature in Shenyang to be like this? No one reminded me."

"Haha, I forgot that Brother Feng has just stepped into the professional league. I'm really sorry that my brother didn't remind you." Lin Fan said modestly.

"Don't talk about it if you are a brother. Do you have any thicker clothes?"

"Yes, fortunately I brought a few extra thick clothes. Wait a minute." After speaking, Lin Fan opened the suitcase, took out a coat and handed it to Yan Feng.

Yan Feng put it on immediately after receiving it. The two were about the same height, and they still fit perfectly. "Huh~ It's better now, it's much more relaxed."

After getting dressed, Yan Feng hurriedly greeted Lin Fan to get on the bus.It will be more relaxed in the car, and Yan Feng also wants to get to the resting place quickly.I was really tired today, Yan Feng fell on the bed after eating at the place and didn't want to get up.

Now Yan Feng has finally realized the difficulty of playing away games.

It takes more than three hours to fly directly from Shenzhen to Shenyang, plus other waiting time, almost five hours.The journey is really tiring. Fortunately, it is a plane. If it is a train, it is not bad to be able to walk normally after arriving, let alone play football.

"It's terrible to run so far away to play away." Yan Feng said to Lin Fan lying on the bed.

Knowing that the two had a good relationship, the emperor arranged the two of them to rest in the same room.

"That's right, he came all the way here, and before he kicks, he's already abolishing half of his martial arts." Lin Fan also lay on the other bed and didn't want to get up.

"I used to always say that China is vast and rich in resources. Every time I said this, I felt extremely proud in my heart. Now, I am really afraid that China is so big." Thinking of running so far to play away, Yan Feng felt a pain in the ass.

"People who don't play football will not reflect this kind of hard work."

"It's no wonder that Chinese teams are so hard to survive. Think about it, it's said that it takes more than 3000 kilometers to travel from Shenzhen to Shenyang, and it takes a day and a night by train. Fortunately, there are planes available, but the tickets are expensive." Yan Feng talked eloquently.

"Yeah, a single air ticket is cheaper, on average, it costs 1000 yuan per person."

"Our team has dozens of people, and the return air ticket alone costs at least 10. The cost of playing a game is estimated to be more than 20 to [-]. This money is very expensive." Yan Feng thought about it. I feel a pain in the flesh.

"Who says no? I think Chinese clubs are so difficult to operate, which probably has a lot to do with it. Fortunately, the team's economic situation has eased this year. Otherwise, I really can't imagine how to travel so far without money. Play a game?" At the beginning of the season, Lin Fan was quite worried about this situation, but fortunately, this situation did not happen.

"Chinese football is really burning money! I think our club has no other way to make money except for sponsorship. How can we sustain it in the long run?"

"Otherwise, why would Chinese teams change their names after a few years? They just had no money to burn, so they had to sell them." Lin Fan, who has been playing football since he was a child, has a deep understanding of this situation.

Lin Fan had experienced the helplessness of the Shenzhen Fengpeng team disbanding after failing to reach the top.The helplessness at that time, and the confusion of not knowing whether he could play football tomorrow left an indelible memory for Lin Fan.

"When I didn't enter the football circle before, I couldn't figure out why the Chinese team was so bad. They always played badly and were always disbanded, just like A Dou who couldn't afford it. This expedition made me understand China. It’s not easy running a team.”

"It is really difficult for Chinese teams to operate for a long time. Unlike the Premier League, a place as big as a province in China can support 20 teams, 4 more than the Chinese Super League. Not to mention the British Championship, League One, There are so many teams, the sum of which is scary...it is quite normal for a city to have several teams at the same time.” Lin Fan thought of his favorite Premier League, feeling a little confused .

"I think the biggest advantage of the Premier League compared with the Chinese Super League is that it is not as big and resourceful as China. The away games are often handled by the coach of your own team. The journey time is short, the physical loss is not so great, and the cost is very small. This makes many small balls The team can survive. And the fans are close to the game, so it is not as difficult to cheer for the team away from home.” Yan Feng felt that China was too big at this time, which would affect the development of Chinese football.

"In England, football is really a national sport. The elderly and children like it. If you can't participate in the professional league, you can go to the stage to watch the game. Unlike our team, there are not many fans at home, let alone away games. gone."

"I think the Chinese have always talked a lot and done a little. There are not many people who watch football and usually play football." It is very helpless, but the reality in China is like this. Yan Feng himself wanted to play football in the past. There are not enough balls.

"The sports atmosphere in China is still too bad. It would be great if I could play football in the UK one day. The football atmosphere there is probably like heaven to me." Lin Fan was fascinated after speaking.

"Your idea is definitely realistic." Yan Feng turned his head and looked at Lin Fan seriously.

Lin Fan's football talent is undoubtedly excellent, and Yan Feng thought that Lin Fan would definitely be able to play well from the moment he saw him.

"Well, I'm sure I can." Lin Fan clenched his fists, his eyes were very firm.

"Hehe, I wish you a speedy realization." Yan Feng looked at the time after finishing speaking. "It's getting late, go to bed early."

"Ah."

Yan Feng didn't want to continue talking about the topic of Chinese football. If he talked too much, he would cry.The more I know, the more uncomfortable I feel.

"Huh, I almost forgot."

Yan Feng finally remembered something, slapped his forehead, rushed into the toilet quickly, and closed the door tightly with a bang.

Seeing Yan Feng's nervous expression, Lin Fan was puzzled for a while.This person doesn't need to be so anxious if he has three urgencies, right?The toilet can't run, and I don't fight with him.

This man has one thing that must be more urgent than the third urgent thing, and that is something related to women.After Yan Feng rushed into the toilet and closed the door, he couldn't wait to unplug the phone for Zhou Yun.After a tiring day, I just talked with Lin Fan about such a heavy topic of Chinese football, and almost forgot about it.After the call is connected, a meal on the phone is always indispensable.Ever since Yan Feng met Zhou Yun, calling on the phone has become a must-have program every night.

The chat between men and women is always so easy to forget the time.I don't know how long they chatted until Lin Fan couldn't hold back his urgent need and knocked on the door desperately.

Reluctantly hanging up the phone, Yan Feng walked out of the toilet and saw Lin Fan holding his stomach with a resentful expression.

"Lin Fan, have you lost your stomach?"

"You just got sick of eating. Brother, you have been chatting for two hours. Is it so easy to chat? Don't you need money for the phone call?"

"You kid doesn't understand!" After speaking, he hummed a little song and went back to the bed to lie down.Helpless, Lin Fan had no choice but to go to the toilet to solve the three emergencies first.

Speaking of it, talking about love is really expensive, not to mention inviting beautiful women to dinner, just making a phone call is also pretty terrible.My phone bill of a few hundred yuan a month is still relatively small.

Although thinking so in his heart, Yan Feng quickly fell asleep with a smile on his face.Lin Fan, who woke up in the middle of the night to urinate, was almost taken aback by the way he closed his eyes with a smile on his face and drooled, and thought it was a pervert.It must be some wonderful spring dream~~~
