Chapter 16 The Lease of the Island

Since Anelka finished those words, Zhao Yaning always avoided Anelka intentionally.

Zhao Yaning didn’t think there was anything wrong with Anelka’s words. He also admitted that family and friends are far more important than football, but he came to France all the way to pursue a football career, because he believed in his knowledge of football. The passion and allure of the sport itself is unstoppable.If he admits that his purpose of playing football is for money, even if the money is earned for his relatives, it will make Zhao Yaning very uncomfortable.Think about Anelka failing Arsenal, then angering Real Madrid, and returning to Paris Saint-Germain, where he became famous, and being hated by others. Such a day is definitely not what I want.If I don't care about anything in order to be able to live a good life, then what is the difference between myself and those jerk coaches in China who ruin people's careers at will for money?

Although Zhao Yaning thinks that Shankly’s saying that football is higher than life is a bit extreme, but if he is asked to admit that money is higher than football, he is very unwilling.

If he didn't look for Anelka, Anelka would naturally not look for him.As a well-known eccentric temper throughout Europe, although Anelka is not as arrogant and domineering as in the eyes of the media, his personality is definitely introverted and withdrawn.Zhao Yaning took the initiative to ask him for advice, and he was willing to teach a little bit. It would be delusional to ask him to take the initiative to help others.

And Zhao Yaning couldn't find other stars to help at this time.Although the team has not officially started training at this time, and the stars of the team are all free, the team has arranged a lot of commercial activities and team promotional activities at this time-such as the football summer camp held with the Linhai Club. one of them.These activities took up a lot of time for the players, leaving the players with little time to come to the youth team to teach children how to play football. [

Zhao Yaning originally expected to learn from Ronaldinho. The skills and imagination of the Brazilian star shocked him a lot and made him extremely envious. However, Ronaldinho rarely came to the team. It's all a last resort.He has just moved to Paris, and he is not familiar with many things, and he is still thinking about moving all his relatives to Paris. These things require too much energy, so he has little time to come to the team for training.

And Zhao Yaning also found that the coaches in the team are also very busy at this time.

After all, it was summer, and it was the team's transfer period.

Paris Saint-Germain is a giant in Ligue [-], but the number of their championships makes the word giant really dazzling.They are trying to win more championships, and the preparations for winning the championship are inseparable from the summer's efforts.

The champion of Ligue 00 in the 01~[-] season is Nantes. They have the goalkeeper Landreau, who is also the captain of Nantes; There are Romania's shooting machine Moldovan, as well as stars such as Ziani and Andre who have performed well.

But no one thinks that they can successfully defend the title-since the mid-to-late 90s, Ligue [-] has been an out-and-out record of troubled times.The Marseille dynasty, which was once at its peak, fell suddenly because of the match-fixing case. Ligue [-], which lost its ruler, lost its overwhelmingly dominant team.

In the 92-93 season, Marseille won the domestic league for five consecutive championships, won the European Championship trophy in the European arena, and won the Champions League double.But immediately, Marseille was found out about the match-fixing case. Although the Champions League was not deprived, they were punished for relegation. From then on until 01, Paris, Nantes, Bordeaux, Lens, and Auxerre were all in the troubled times of Ligue [-]. For many years in a row, the Ligue [-] champions have never been able to successfully defend their title. The champion team of the previous year is likely to be relegated to the relegation team in the second year. This form makes the Ligue [-] competition abnormal. Intense, every team has a strong desire for the championship.

What's more, Nantes' own strength is not considered the strongest in Ligue [-].

Originally they still had a very good lineup, but as Carrière won the Confederations Cup best player, Nantes can no longer tolerate this increasingly ambitious successor to Zizou.Aulas, the president of Olympus Lyon, bought him for 1200 million euros and brought him to Lyon, the second largest city in France.At the same time, the Brazilian star Juninho, who was supposed to go to Lyon last season, finally got rid of the comfort of the contract after a year of entanglements and joined Lyon freely.In addition, Lyon was originally the champion team of the French League Cup in 01. In the lineup, there were local star Doraso, African-American midfielder Vivian Foo, striker Sony Anderson who played for Barcelona, ​​​​and gradually growing up. With the new star Govou, Lyon has gradually formed a lineup that can disdain the entire France.

And equally strong is Monaco.Simeone, Roundup, Giuly and others make Monaco a strong team that cannot be ignored.They are the champions of the 00 season, and they have also replaced a new head coach, the former French national captain Didier Deschamps, which makes them very worth looking forward to in the new season.

Of course, Lens also cannot be ignored. They have Senegalese striker Diouf, a promising young man; Bordeaux, they have the winner of the French Gold Star Award Pauletta; of course, Marseille must not be ignored. Even if they have been sunk for a long time, one of the overlords of French football will not bow their heads and admit defeat.

Compared with them, Paris Saint-Germain can be said to not fall behind.At least there are big-name stars like Anelka and players like Ronaldinho in the team, and Paris Saint-Germain definitely has a strong championship contender.

The coaching staff is looking for suitable players, while the youth academy is busy selecting and training new players.Zhao Yaning found that no one paid attention to his training for a while, which made him a little overwhelmed.

He went to coach Grelis, but the coach was very surprised by his question, "It's the offseason, not the formal training period. Your task is to do your best to exercise your physical strength and ensure that next season Have sufficient physical fitness. As for further training, it will not be arranged until the start of the new season. If you want to, you can continue to exercise. If you don’t want to, you can also consider taking a break. Now is not a formal training period.”

Zhao Yaning thought about it for a long time and decided to continue training. Although it is the offseason, just because others rest does not mean that he can also rest.There are too many things I have missed. If I don't make up for it, I'm afraid I will suffer a lot in the future.

And Zhao Yaning believes that the coaches are not blind. If he really relaxes and plays in Paris casually, the coaches will not be happy to see it.

But if you train hard yourself, maybe it will be a different result.Although ability is the biggest factor that determines whether a player can be favored by a coach, other than that, obedience, conscientiousness, and hard work, these factors are definitely things that coaches love.

And being able to get the favor of the coach is definitely good for your future development.

With this in mind, he devoted himself to training.But a sudden phone call disrupted all his plans. [

"The club listed me for rent?"

The call from Cordia stunned Zhao Yaning for a while before he was sure it was true, “Why?”

"You have no place in Paris." Cordia explained, "Paris Saint-Germain is a team that aims to win the championship and needs stable and outstanding players. You are too young and your technical style is not finalized. It is impossible to meet the needs of Paris Saint-Germain to win the championship, and it is naturally impossible for Paris to keep you."

"But I can play in the reserve team." Zhao Yaning was a little puzzled.

He didn't want to be rented out. On the one hand, he was just familiar with Paris, and he was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the new environment. Grab a lot of really capable superstars, none of them were rented out in the early years.

"The coaching staff believes that you are a very hard-working player. Considering your skills are very good, they think it is because you are willing to fully tap your talents. Therefore, the coaching staff believes that in the last one or two years, it is your skill When you are finalized, you can get a big improvement through the game. At this time, staying in the reserve team to play in the third division will not help you in any real way, and you will be rented out to a team in the second division, or a team in the first division. The relegation team in the league will help you more."

These words made Zhao Yaning choked up, unexpectedly hard work could cause trouble.

"You don't have to worry too much. The club just rents you out. It doesn't mean that it doesn't recognize your ability and potential. And I made a request to the club. In the loan contract, it must be stated that your number of appearances must reach a certain level Quantity, so that you can get a lot of opportunities. With your current state, it is indeed very difficult to play in Paris Saint-Germain. Instead of spending your youth here, it is better to go to some small teams and play more games. "

"But I always feel that being rented out is a manifestation of being ignored, which means that my life is over." Zhao Yaning whispered his concerns.

"How can such a thing happen? Being rented out is a very common thing, it can happen to anyone. Do you know Real Madrid's Eto'o? The winner of the best newcomer in Africa in 2000, isn't he also loaned to Mallorca Is it? Loaning is a very easy thing to happen in the football world. It’s not a big deal.” Cordia persuaded Zhao Yaning, but added, “Of course, if you are a die-hard fan of Paris Saint-Germain, in addition to the Paris jersey If you don't want to wear any jersey, then I can challenge the team and let you stay in Paris."

"I'm not a fan of Paris..." Zhao Yaning retorted, only to realize that it was not good for him to say so.

"It's fine to tell me this, don't say it in front of outsiders." Cordia's voice on the other end of the phone was a little serious, "It's easy to get into trouble."

Zhao Yaning hummed, "I just want to say that I don't necessarily have to play for Paris. If there is really a place for me to play the main role, then I will go immediately."

"If you have no objections, then you should prepare." Cordia was silent for a while before speaking, "Actually, there are already teams willing to rent you out, and they have already submitted a transfer application with Paris Saint-Germain , the coach there asked you to go to try out as soon as possible, so that the loan contract can be finalized."

This sentence made Zhao Yaning a little surprised, he didn't expect that he would get the loan contract so soon.

"where?"

"Ajaccio, the team from Corsica."
