Chapter 42

Luo Kunlun slowly brewed a pot of coffee, which his uncle had just brought him, the European blue bud coffee.He poured two cups, one for Xiao Xiao and one for himself, and the old man liked to drink tea.

The old man opened his mouth: "It's just a few decades, our football has fallen from a peak to a trough. I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out." Between words, I feel very regretful.

Xiao Xiao didn't have so many emotions, he was just a person who wanted to hear stories.He seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Uncle was also a member of the national team back then, right?"

"Barely able to play the main force." The old man smiled modestly: "I don't want to mention these, I just tell you about the glory of the national football team."

"About 30 years ago, our Chinese national football team was known as the 'Iron-Blooded Master'! Under the leadership of our captain, Dongfang Rang, we swept across the countries of Eastern Xiazhou. It would be like allowing countries such as Korea and Fusang to be arrogant. Even against the world's football powers, such as the Netherlands, Spania, and Brassie, we can still play evenly and not fall behind."

"Perhaps the old Chinese saying is fulfilled somewhere, the higher the climb, the more painful the fall. One month before we were full of ambitions to go to the Hercules Cup, our captain Dongfang Rang suddenly announced his retirement and disappeared in front of everyone without a sound. Naturally, we were shocked. He is the core player of our Chinese national football team. Why don't you disappear if you don't see him?" It was as if it had evaporated, and we couldn’t find it no matter how hard we searched. It wasn’t until he took the initiative to find us ten years ago that we reconnected.”

Dongfang Jean? The core of the national football team 30 years ago?An image of a dirty old man unconsciously appeared in Xiao Xiao's mind, could it be him?my master? !
"Then what happened afterwards? What was the result of your participation in the Hercules Cup?" Xiao Xiao asked after putting aside all the miscellaneous incidents.

"I lost, I will return in a big defeat!" The old man said calmly, but the deep regret in his eyes could not be hidden from Xiao Xiao and Luo Kunlun, two children who thought they were no longer children.He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "All our tactics are arranged around that guy from the east. His sudden disappearance made everything mess up."

"Although we have re-trained new tactics later, the effect is not great. To put it bluntly, we were just playing the role of playing tricks back then. The entire national football team was not supported by Dongfang alone. Once Dongfang left, the team fell apart!"

"Hehe, don't you believe it! The finals of the Hercules Cup are all thanks to Dongfang. He alone scored [-]% of the team's goals. Hat-tricks are rare, but scoring twice is commonplace."

So bullish? !Xiao Xiao felt more and more that the Dongfang mentioned by the old man was very similar to the old Dongfang who taught him, but why did the old man become so decadent?Unreasonable, unbelievable!
Xiao Xiao felt itchy in his heart, but it was a pity that the old man was no longer in the small town.Otherwise, he ran back overnight to ask what was going on, hey!Damn, I'm sure I'm going to suffer from insomnia again tonight!
"Without Dongfang, we are still shouting the slogan of winning the championship, but we are not confident enough!" The old man shook his head, sorted out his thoughts, with a look of disappointment or emotion on his face: "Unfortunately, we lost 0:3, 0:4 and 0:5 in the three games of the group. I really feel ashamed when I think about it. We didn't score a goal, and we lost eleven goals in a row."

"After the defeat, the fans were also heartbroken. They cursed that the national football team is a show, and it's useless. It's not enough to fight with the world's football powers. Under the protests of the fans, both the national football team and the football association behind us have undergone a major cleanup. I also retired after the Hercules Cup. It's just that the football association after the replacement of the football association is even more incompetent, and the new blood of the national football team is even more decadent. This is really confusing."

As the editor-in-chief of the sports section of the academy newspaper, Wang Ziqiang was also puzzled. He looked at the manuscript about Xiao Xiao's interview that Hu Xing handed him: "What are these? The article you want to publish in this issue?"

"Yes, I specifically interviewed this newcomer named Xiao Xiao." Hu Xing shook the manuscript in his hand and said excitedly: "Brother Qiang, what an ingenuity...! He scored a goal in the game in the afternoon, and readers will definitely want to know about him...Well, in short, I think it will definitely be very popular with readers."

"Will it?" Wang Ziqiang frowned and stared at the manuscript in Hu Xing's hand, and said to Hu Xing earnestly: "Student Hu, stability is the last word, you know? It seems that you still don't understand the situation of our sports section. Newspapers outside of such heavyweight events as the Little Nine Dragons Cup have special special reports, and few people will specifically look for our sports section. And what is our advantage? Closely digging out the gossip and secrets of the stars of the academy team, this is what can increase the sales of our journal and keep our sports section in the journal. A piece of paper. If you go to interview a newcomer for no reason, will anyone watch it? Even if there are, not many... Even if there are many, hey! That's what you think!"

"But I think it's pretty good..." Hu Xing still insisted. As his idol, Xiao Xiao is king. No matter how tall, rich and handsome the other players on the academy team are, they are also scumbags!

"I don't even bother to talk about you..." Wang Ziqiang sighed: "You can do whatever you want, anyway, there are only two of us left on the sports page, so if you mess around, I can't do anything about you."

"Aren't there three people? Where's my Senior Sister Liu Mei?" Hu Xing asked suspiciously.

Wang Ziqiang made a bitter face, and said melancholy: "Today there are still three people, but tomorrow it will be different!"

"Why?" Hu Xing asked puzzled.

"Your senior sister broke up with me! She fell in love with the literary version of Zhang Chaowei!" Wang Ziqiang took out a cigarette and took a deep breath.

"Uh... my condolences, brother!" Hu Xing patted Wang Ziqiang's shoulder to express his comfort.

"I'm fine, there is no grass anywhere in the world! And you are enough!!" Said, Wang Ziqiang glanced at Hu Xing, blew out a smoke ring, and showed an evil smile at Hu Xing.

"Fuck, brother, I'm going to fight you, I have no love for the worrying uncle!"

"Me too, I only love Zhengtai!"

"... "

"Uh, I made a mistake, it's Lolita!"

"... "

It is said that there are strange things in China every year, such as a group of people who don’t take buses are discussing bus price adjustments, and a group of people who eat special meals are specifying food safety_strategy (Editor’s language: cough cough, pay attention to the scale!), but when it comes to absurd things, we must first count the China Football Association.

The old man told Xiao Xiao that the decline of the national football team is not because there are no good seedlings, but because there is no good system.

Have you ever seen a league where the runner-up can be set by drawing cards?Have you ever seen a system where one header goal counts as two in the league?It was an eye-opener for Xiao Xiao, he figured it out, if one header hits two, then Chen Sheng must be the top scorer of the Pearl team, not himself!

"The leaders of the Football Association who are becoming more and more wonderful every year have made our domestic football a mess, hey!" The old man patted the table with a rare look of anger: "This year's Football Association general election, we will definitely take action to restore the clarity of Chinese football."

Luo Kunlun uttered for the first time: "Is Uncle Cai going to run for election?"

"Hehe! He doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water, but we old fellows are encouraging him." The old man's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was firm: "This time, it's not up to him."

Xiao Xiao couldn't understand what the two were talking about again, he yawned and was tired!

Why the China Football Association is in a mess has nothing to do with me for the time being, right?

As long as you play well, that's enough!right?
Yes!As long as the boy works hard, that's enough!It seems fun to save Huaxia football by one's own efforts!

Well, work hard boy!

Xiao Xiao slapped the table, ignoring Luo Kunlun and his uncle, who were still flying, and ran towards the second floor.

He has to take a shower and go to bed. Only a well-rested boy has the energy to train!
Right?

Well, very correct!Xiao Xiao yawned again!
　sick!The codeword has no state!Can you ask for tickets, collections, and various requests now?
