Grassroots Glory

The itinerary had to be changed temporarily. When Zhou Tiancheng told Chu Yunling, he didn't feel comfortable opening his mouth. The more Chu Yunling didn't say anything, the more embarrassed he felt.

Work is too busy and time with family is always too little. This is a contradiction.

Those who can achieve great things are hard to care about their families. Men have ideals when they are young, to become famous, to make money, to reach the pinnacle of life, to become the kind of existence that others often use as a role model for educating children, and now Zhou Tiancheng has achieved it. From his point of view, what about now?

Standing on the peak, the so-called heights are unbearably cold, but seeing the scenery from the heights, that's all.

He really wants to have time now, besides the football he loves, to spend more time with his family and enjoy it quietly, even if it is to steal half a day of leisure.

But this has become a luxury now. At the height he is at now, he has to do many things.

Zhou Zhenyong was at the airport, watching him walk up to the security checkpoint for returning home, smiled and said to Chu Yunling who was pouting next to him: Xiaoling, that's just how he is. Hehe, it's better if he's not here. With this little guy, we Nor lonely.

Zhou Tiancheng returned directly to Beijing, because his itinerary was not public, so the airport was relatively quiet.

In Beijing, Zhou Tiancheng first met with an executive from Adidas in China, a very capable middle-aged man with short hair in a suit.

Mr. Zhou, I have to tell you about our event first. Hehe, it's all thanks to you. Mr. Zhou probably doesn't know the current popularity of football in China. Taking advantage of the national team's return to the World Cup this year, we will provide more football-loving children in some underdeveloped areas in China with conditions that will allow them to continue to love football. I heard that Mr. Zhou, you are also from the grassroots , I believe you can understand.

Zhou Tiancheng nodded: Let's be straightforward, where are we going? How is the time arranged? I don't have much vacation, only half a month.

Mr. Zhou will not be delayed. We fully understand your time situation. It only takes five days, and we will leave tomorrow to go to Xinjiang. The other party said with a smile.

Xinjiang? Zhou Tiancheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect to run so far.

The other party saw his doubts, and said with a smile: Of course, the theme of our event this time is 'Football Public Welfare in Frontiers'. Hehe, Mr. Zhou has been abroad all year round, so this time he just went to learn more about it. Are there any difficulties?

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head, since he has already agreed, he will not go back on his word.

Just thought it was quite novel.

It was not the person in charge who actually went on the road with Zhou Tiancheng, but a young man who was estimated to be no older than ten years older than Zhou Tiancheng, and set off with a team of six or seven people.

Mr. Zhou, that...let me introduce the basic situation of this event to you first.

The flight trip was also boring. The other party wanted to find a topic to chat with Zhou Tiancheng, but worried that other topics were not suitable, so he could only choose to talk about business.

Zhou Tiancheng saw that the other party was nervous and reserved, and said with a smile, You don't need to be so extravagant, you can call me Xiao Zhou or Tian Cheng, by the way, what's your surname?

Miangui's surname is Li. Sigh, sitting with you, I feel that I have been mixed with dogs for so many years. You are the pinnacle of life. I am only a few years older than you, please call me Brother is fine. To tell you the truth, I am actually your die-hard fan, can you sign me some time?

It's not a problem. Let me introduce the situation first. I didn't expect to run so far.

The other party smiled: It's a bit far away. But I promise you will never regret it. Here you may find some scenes that subvert your cognition.

Zhou Tiancheng gave a soft oh and replied, Then I'm looking forward to it.

...

This journey was definitely not easy. Zhou Tiancheng thought that the destination was Urumqi, and it would be a lot of trouble to fly here from Beijing. In the end, he got off the plane and continued on his way to a small county called Shanshan.

This trip is a lot of trouble. Brother Zhou, do you feel tired? Haha, this is much more trouble than an away game in the Champions League.

It's okay. Zhou Tiancheng nodded without saying anything.

The leaders of the local education bureau and sports bureau received their group and took them to a small town called Dongbaza Township below. According to the two accompanying leaders, there was a desert wolf here.

Desert wolf? The group were very puzzled.

That's right, Desert Wolves, the Desert Wolves football team. The leader said with a smile, It's well-known in our local area, and it's the best in Turpan and even northern Xinjiang.

Haha! Then Mr. Zhou has to look at it first, this is our country's signboard, and others are professionals.

Hey, don't say that, I'm not authoritative.

Zhou Tiancheng said modestly. He is really looking forward to it now.

Desert wolf, the name is very domineering.

In Dortmund, what Klopp instilled in them the most was the spirit of the mad dog, running relentlessly, and never stopping to bite opponents.

Mad dogs are actually similar to wolves. Zhou Tiancheng wanted to see how wolf-like this team was after naming them wolves.

...

The Desert Wolf football team exists in the Central Primary School in Dongbaza Township.

Looking from the entrance, the school gates are full of rust, and the gates are broken. It is obviously lack of repairs, and the condition looks very poor.

But as soon as he walked in, Zhou Tiancheng was shocked by the scene that followed.

There is only one teaching building in the school, and the rest is open space, which is large in size but very uneven, with potholes on the road. But under such conditions, at least half of the ten-year-old children on the playground are playing football!

Of course, they didn't play football, there wasn't that much football for them. Many people kicked stones, or even lumps of dirt, completely ignoring Zhou Tiancheng and his party.

Do these children practice like this every day? Zhou Tiancheng was a little surprised, and casually asked the principal of this school.

He feels that all this is unreal and should not happen in the domestic football environment. Such scenes should appear in the streets and alleys of Brazil's slums.

The principal smiled and replied: That's right, our children here really love football, and the goal of these children is only to be selected for the Desert Wolf football team, because in this way, they can play with football teams from other regions in real football. It's game.

The headmaster explained that they came to a corner of the field while speaking. Zhou Tiancheng saw a yellow flag embroidered with a wolf's head fixed at one corner. In front of them were about twenty children in their twenties and thirteens, and at the same time stood a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a mud-colored shirt.

The reason for the mud color is not the original color, but his clothes are covered with mud.

The children didn't feel any excitement when they saw this group of people. They didn't know Zhou Tiancheng, and they didn't even understand what they were here for.

Although there is football in this place, it is poor. The national team, the European League, and the stage where Zhou Tiancheng performs are too far away for them to see.

Children, we are here to give you footballs. See, you have new footballs starting today.

Zhou Tiancheng noticed that even in this football team that other children dreamed of joining, the balls they played were only covered by nets, which were actually broken and unusable.

So after entering the interactive session, Zhou Tiancheng directly took out the new ball prepared by Adidas and waved it in front of the children.

He saw that many children's eyes began to shine. If it weren't for the middle-aged man in front of them who made them feel a little scared, they would probably rush up to grab the ball in a swarm.

But these are all surprises for Zhou Tiancheng, the love for football should be like this!

There is something in these children that he wants to see. If it was just a vague expectation at the beginning, now he is really interested.

In such an environment and such a team, it would not be surprising even if there were talented youngsters.
