Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 74 Dormant
Time is like running water, it never stops moving forward for anyone.It has been a month since Yan Feng was kicked from the first team to the reserve team.

At night, the summer breeze gently strokes the ends of the hair, taking away the excess heat from people.

It's still the food stall, and it's still Yan Feng and the emperor Li Yi.

"Cheers!" The wine glass in Li Yi's hand and Jiaduobao in Yan Feng's hand were still touching at the table.

This is the second time they have eaten together since leaving the first team.This time it was Li Yi's treat, but he still chose the food stall that he ate last time.

Li Yi took a sip of the wine, not drinking it to the end like last time.It has been a month since he resigned, and he has already looked away.In the Chinese football world, this kind of thing couldn't be more normal.At this time, his mentality was quite different from last time.

On the other hand, Yan Feng drank herbal tea fiercely, as if what he was holding was not herbal tea, but strong wine that could make people intoxicated.

"Okay, brat. Don't drink too much. Herbal tea is good, but you can't drink too much too much." Li Yi said with a smile.

Yan Feng stopped after hearing Li Yi's words, but then shook his head. "Why."

"Stinky boy, don't sigh. Everyone has a downturn. Although you can't play the ball very well, you can use this time to strengthen your skills." Li Yi knew that Yan Feng was in the Shenzhen reserve team. Life is not very easy, so I asked him out for dinner.Today's meal, Li Yi came to enlighten Yan Feng.

"Hey, Brother Yi, I've let you down. It's not that I didn't work hard, it's that the times are unforgiving." Yan Feng's face was full of disappointment.Looking back on the past month, if it wasn't for the man who didn't cry easily, he would have wanted to cry.

Time goes back to when Yan Feng was kicked to the reserve team.Although Yan Feng was very disappointed at being sent to the reserve team, and knew that the new head coach didn't want to see him, he was not discouraged because of this. Instead, he had the determination to try his best in the reserve team.

Unexpectedly, when Yan Feng came to the reserve team with a dormant heart, he found that the head coach of the reserve team was not the familiar coach Niu Li, but Fan Yuhong whom he did not know.Niu Li still stays in the first team as an assistant coach, and the new reserve team coach is Fan Yuhong, the former head coach of the Shenzhen team.

Well, although it's different from what I imagined, there are still a lot of opportunities to play in the reserve team that is short of major generals.Yan Feng thought so.

Forced to return to the reserve team this time, he has already decided to focus on improving his foot skills.After the experience of the first team in the first team game, Yan Feng has already felt that he can easily prepare for the reserve team game.This time I returned to the reserve team to practice my skills.

However, to Yan Feng's great disappointment, the first team didn't give him a chance, and the reserve team also didn't have much playing time.

The new head coach of the reserve team, Fan Yuhong, does not have enough understanding and appreciation of Yan Feng like Niu Li.What Fan Yuhong admires is technical players with aura, and his eyes are more on young players like Yang Jiutian.An old man like Yan Feng (many people think that players in their teens and 20s are considered young), and he is still a rough guy with no body and no skills. In his opinion, how can there be any potential?

Fan Yuhong's attitude towards Yan Feng is to let go and use it to gather the number of people (this is the reason why Yan Feng was able to be a player).In this way, Yan Feng is basically a training partner in the reserve team and a substitute during games.

There are often first-team players involved due to reserve team games.Apart from being able to sneak up and kick occasionally, Yan Feng can basically only pass water and towels on the sidelines.

Such a day is completely unimaginable for Yan Feng, and the pain in it can be imagined.

The most painful thing for Yan Feng was what happened in today's reserve team game.Zhou Li, who didn't play in the first-team match, went to the reserve team to play games to maintain his form.Once the ball was dead, Zhou Li went to the sidelines and shouted to Yan Feng who was warming up, "So who, go and get me some water, I need to replenish water."When Yan Feng ignored him, Zhou Li scolded him angrily. In the end, Yan Feng had to pass water to Zhou Li under Fan Yuhong's signal.

At that time, the smug look on Zhou Li's face made Yan Feng feel extremely painful.

Recalling Zhou Li's villainous appearance, now Yan Feng still has the urge to punch that annoying face a few times.

"Don't worry about today's matter. Such things are normal in many teams. In professional sports, teammates are often opponents. Only when you are strong enough, others will give you enough respect. "Li Yi said lightly, similar things, which player who has been in a trough has not encountered it? "When your strength reaches the level of the national football team, it will be a trivial matter if you want Zhou Li to carry your shoes."

"I think so too. Then I will ask him to hand me water and towels, and he will have to lift my shoes after the game." Yan Feng said fiercely.Then he sighed again and took a few sips of Jia Duobao again: "But for me now, I can only think about it. I don't even have many chances to play in the reserve team."

"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. You just need to be yourself. As the saying goes, a camp made of iron, soldiers of flowing water. This sentence can also be said here: a team of iron, flowing water coach."

"I've only heard of iron-clad teams and talented players." Yan Feng just replied lightly, noncommittal.

"That's because you are ignorant. Don't believe me. Let me tell you. How much do you know about the top management of the team?" Li Yi picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Team executives? As a player, I don't have the heart to worry about these irrelevant things!" Yan Feng really didn't care about the team executives.In his thinking, players should practice their own ball well and play well, and the management does not need players to worry about such things.

"You. The pattern is broken!" Li Yi shook his head. Chinese football has never been so simple.

"Let me tell you. At the beginning of the season, the chairman of our club game was Wei Qi, but he resigned just after the game started, and Zeng Zhenyu, the chairman of Shengjia Home Furnishing, took over. But, not long after, Zeng Zhenyu left and Wei Qi came back This time, even the original general manager Li Hong left the team. Not long after that, the team’s equity changed again, the chairman became Zhou Yong, and Wei Qi became the general manager.”

Li Yi spoke eloquently.Hearing this, Yan Feng felt dizzy for a while.

"Eh! Brother Yi, you let me go. First one named Weiqi, then one named Zeng Zhenyu, then Weiqi again, and then someone else?```Brother Yi, I don’t read much. , I don’t understand.” Yan Feng felt that his head was going to explode, it was too complicated, fortunately he didn’t pay attention to these things.

"Hehe, it's still early." Li Yi chuckled for a while.

"Did it change again?"

"That's right." Li Yi sighed. "Actually, at that time, I learned that the senior management already wanted me to dismiss get out of class. However, the boss of the team changed again, and Zeng Zhenyu came back again. This senior management change allowed me to escape, and they were busy cleaning up the mess. , no time to take care of me."

It's a pity that I can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth day.

"Isn't it? What else is there?"

"Unexpectedly? After Zeng Zhenyu came back as the chairman this time, since Guangtaiyuan stopped investing in the team, all the expenses of the team will be in charge of the team's chairman Zeng Zhenyu." Speaking of this, Li Yi paused. "Do you think this will stop? It's not that easy. After a while, the board of directors and shareholders secretly reached an agreement to dismiss Zeng Zhenyu. Deng Junjie joined the Shenzhen team and became the club's latest chairman."

"Ah. I feel that my brain is not enough. Brother Yi."

"Haha, I heard that Zeng Zhenyu is going to sue them to the Supreme Court or FIFA these days."

"Brother Yi, are you talking about palace fighting dramas? Or political power-seizure dramas?" Yan Feng once again said that he has not read enough to understand such high-level things.

"I also hope that I am talking about a TV series. But these are facts." Li Yi was a little helpless, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. "However, the good thing is that after several twists and turns, the team's top management has finally stabilized. This time Chairman Deng Junjie spent 1.2 million to acquire 90% of the shares of the Shenzhen team, and also solved the team's salary arrears . This is the biggest good news. It seems that the team should be able to settle down for a while."

The good thing is that the team has finally stabilized. The bad thing is that the team has stabilized, and the coaching of the great emperor has come to an end.

"Hey, I didn't expect it to be just a team, and there are so many things going on behind it." Yan Feng now has a preliminary understanding of Chinese football.Understand some things, but he is not very willing to accept.Football should be simple.

"Stable. Good! The Shenzhen team has been really not easy these years. You don't know how impatient I can see it. Last year I brought players who hadn't received a job for several months to the game. I watched them asking for salary in front of the camera, and then turned around to play seriously. At that time, do you know that my heart was sad? From players to assistant coaches, from assistant coaches to firefighting head coaches, and now after get out of class, I was in Shenzhen The time spent in the team has been more than ten years. The relationship of more than ten years!" Li Yi became more and more emotional as he spoke, and his eyelids turned red.His affection for the Shenzhen team is unmatched by others.

"Now the club seems to have really stabilized. Even if I no longer serve as the head coach, I am happy." Speaking of this, Li Yi smiled instead.

"Come on, Brother Yi, I'll toast you." Yan Feng changed it to a glass of beer this time.The emperor is the emperor, and his idol is to be admired.

"Okay. One drink is enough. As a player, you'd better not touch alcohol."

"Brother Yi, you deserve a drink." Yan Feng said seriously.

"Yan Feng, I plan to go to Europe in a while. I want to see what the youth training there is, and why it is better than ours in China. You are such a good jade in the rough. As a But the coach can't tap your potential. I ```" Li Yi looked at Yan Feng and said with some self-blame.

"It's nothing, it's too late for me to accept a career. Others have received more than ten years of professional training than me." Since entering the team, Yan Feng has been training according to the professional youth training plan provided by Li Yi. During this period of time with the team, he doubled his training, but the effect was really not ideal.Training hard, but the improvement of technical level is very limited, which makes Yan Feng even more disappointed.After all, he was much later than others, and now his skills are formed.Coupled with the recent events, Yan Feng has already begun to despair.

"Don't be discouraged. I will definitely find a better training method when I go to Europe to study this time." Li Yi comforted Yan Feng.The training program he gave to Yan Feng is already the most professional that can be found in China.It is much more advanced than his own training method when he was young, but unfortunately the effect is not obvious.Yan Feng's age is really a flaw, this talent is really a pity.Li Yi puts his hopes in Europe, where there are the most professional leagues, the best youth training, and the most scientific training.He hoped to find a way from there.

"Well. No matter what, I will continue to practice my skills. I look forward to Brother Yi returning from his studies and training me to become a football master. In the end, I will enter the national team, rush out of Asia, and enter the World Cup." Yan Feng said it well and didn't want to disappoint Li Yi, but in fact he didn't have any confidence in his heart.The reason why he still persists today is because he still has another point of persistence in his heart.
