Chapter 9

After winning the game, the members of the Sharks were all in a good mood and were discussing where to have a meal at night, but Lu Tao, who seemed not in a good mood throughout the game, said to Hua Yong and Li Fayou: "Go and eat, I still have some food in the shop." matter, let’s go first.”

Seeing that Lu Tao was leaving with the car keys, Li Fayou hurriedly said, "What if you don't go, today we are also welcoming the newly joined Li Huan."

"I really have something to do, Brother Li and Brother Hua, let me treat you another day, Li Huan played really well." Lu Tao forced a smile on his face, waved his Chang'an Star to everyone and left the Celestial Stadium.

Forward Zhao Jinglai said: "Brother Tao is not very happy today, maybe something really happened."

Hua Yong didn't think much about it, and said with a smile on his face: "Maybe, I'll welcome Li Huan today, and I'll treat you, so let's go to the new family. There is a bathing center next to it. Everyone can take a bath and have a refreshing meal."

"The grade is too low, why don't you go to Shangri-La or Sheraton." Ren Feng smiled and knocked on his uncle.

Hua Yong laughed, and said: "You boy, if you have the ability to lead the Sharks to play in the city league, I will take you to Shangri-La every day."

Ren Feng said disdainfully: "If I have the ability to lead the Sharks to play in the city league, I would have played in the professional league a long time ago. The money is huge, and I still want you to take me to Shangri-La."

Li Fayou laughed and pointed to the Lepu Electronics team that was playing: "Don't talk about playing in the city league, as long as you can beat the Lepu Electronics team, the leader of our league, your uncle and I will invite the whole team to Shangri-La for seafood."

Ren Feng resentfully said: "Defeat Lepu Electronics? Uncle Li, with our strength, they have been undefeated in dozens of games."

Li Fayou said: "It's not dozens of games, but 51 games without defeat. Cui Kai's goal is to be undefeated in [-] games. Now he is making appointments everywhere."

Hua Yong waved his hand, "Stop messing around with these useless things, let's go, get in the car, and feel uncomfortable with sweat."

Ren Feng and Li Huan boarded Huayong's Audi, and other members of the Sharks drove and rode bicycles. They left the Tianti Stadium and went to a new hotel to meet up.

There was no outsider in the car, Hua Yong said: "Li Huan, where is your family? Did you practice football when you were young? Your basic skills are very solid."

"In Hengshui, no, just play by yourself, Ye Luzi."

"Hengshui, oh, it seems that it is not very developed. Are you going to develop here or go back to your hometown?"

"Let's take a look here first, my hometown is too poor."

"Hehe, how should I put it, it's not that my old Wang is selling melons and boasting. The development of coastal cities is the result of the right time, place and people. In 50 years, the mainland will not be able to catch up with this place. There is still a future. Tell me about your business, Xiaofeng. Yes, I appreciate you very much, tomorrow you will come to Wanfang Company to work, and the human resources department will arrange everything for you according to your situation." Hua Yong said very straightforwardly.

"Thank you, Uncle Hua."

"You're welcome. The company happens to be short of manpower. I believe that those who can play well will be able to do their jobs well."

After a while, a new hotel arrived. From the outside, it can be regarded as a mid-level hotel. All the members of the Sharks took a shower in the bathing center next door, changed into casual clothes, and had dinner together in the Peony Hall of the new hotel. .Everyone chatted while drinking, and Li Huan quickly had a simple understanding of the Sharks.

The Sharks were the earliest teams in the Amateur Football League, and they were considered a quasi-strong team at the time. However, with the development of the amateur league, the Sharks gradually declined. Recently, some strong teams wanted to participate in high-level urban leagues everywhere. To poach people, the main force of the Sharks has left a lot, and now they are almost facing the risk of disbanding, so Ren Feng recruited Li Huan to make up the number.

When the wine was hot, Zhao Jinglai picked up the wine glass and walked to Li Huan's side, saying: "Your assists are really beautiful, not worse than those who have played professionally. Come, let me toast you two."

Li Huan stood up holding the wine glass, "You're welcome, your running position is good."

Ren Feng said with a smile: "He runs well, do you know why he is a striker? That's because he was a defender who kicked towards his own home, and there was no other way, so he was let as a striker."

Another striker, Wang Lei, laughed and said, "Didn't Jing Lai stop scoring an own goal later on?"

Li Fayou said with a chuckle, "Yeah, I won't score an own goal, but he uses his hands as a defender to defend. Every game will give the opponent a penalty kick. Who would dare to let him be a defender."

Zhao Jinglai didn't mind his teammate's jokes, "Don't spoil me, it's because I don't want to be a defender, you just force me to be a forward, you score goals as a forward, the responsibility for conceding the ball is on me, I won't let you do that Uncomfortable, you will let me be the striker."

Li Huan couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He was born in professional football, and he had never experienced this kind of interest-based, easy and free wild ball. The game at that time was very utilitarian. He can do everything, but now it is almost all about playing, and he is happy to win and lose. He can't help but become interested in playing wild football, and feels that even if he doesn't make a living from football, playing amateur games will be enjoyable in the future.

Naturally, the topic during the dinner cannot be separated from football. The hottest topic in the island city recently is about the urban league, but the players of the Sharks are not satisfied with the development of the urban league. Li Fayou said angrily: "The major league belongs to our fans. The Football Association wants to get in on the action, and what kind of urban league is actually not for the AFC's 2000 million euros, so many retired second-tier professional players participate, let us play, let them play with us."

Hua Yong looked at Li Huan and the young people with confused expressions, and said: "It turns out that there is no salary or bonus for playing games in the major leagues. Everyone just wants to have fun. After all, it is a hobby.However, when it comes to launching urban leagues, in order to achieve good results, some teams invite some professional players who have retired from the Chinese Super League and the Chinese Premier League, and they also offer wages, training fees and winning bonuses.This makes our purely fun clubs very passive.The addition of high-level professional players can improve the level of amateur leagues, but it also makes many amateurs lose the opportunity to play. In my opinion, urban leagues are becoming more and more professional leagues. "

"Amateurs are not amateurs, and professionals are not professional. They are not the same." Zhao Jing said.

Wang Lei sneered and said: "The Football Association likes to pick the fruits of victory. Why didn't they help us solve the problem when we played football?"

Li Huan mobilized his memory and thought of foreign amateur leagues. He said, "Actually, they can be divided into several levels. The stronger ones are grouped together, and the weaker ones are grouped together. In this way, there will be no too many conflicts."

Hua Yong said: "Yes, the Municipal Football Association and the major leagues are discussing the establishment of a city league with four levels of ABCD. The strong ones are in one group, and the weak ones are in one group. Like a professional league, the top two in each level Promoted to a higher league. If you don’t want to play in the amateur league, you can play on a date. It’s not much different from the major league.”

Li Fayou said: "It's better to play in our major league. They are all amateur teams. The personnel come and go. The strength and personnel cannot be guaranteed at all."

Hua Yong chuckled and said, "Let them do it. We don't have the strength, so we won't participate, as long as we have the ball to play."

"Well, why are you so lazy, Lao Hua, the Sea Knights are still not convinced, we will play against them next week." Li Fayou said.

"Okay, until they are kicked into submission." Hua Yongping added Li Huan as a general, and said proudly.

There was a burst of applause on the wine table, and everyone drank again.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when the banquet was over, and Li Huan couldn't leave, so he followed Ren Feng to live at his house, and planned to take a leave of absence to move all his luggage after he arranged work tomorrow, and rented a house in the city. Although living in the school apartment is free, it is very inconvenient to go to work, and the money for taking the bus and ferry every day is enough to rent a house.
