just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 51 Conversation (Coming)
Ruxu County Sports Bureau
Director's Office
As soon as Lin Mu entered the door, Director Wu greeted him and pulled Lin Mu towards the sofa.

At this time, an old man in his 60s, with gray hair and hale and hearty, was sitting on the sofa.Looking at Lin Mu with a smile, although he didn't get up, there was no contempt in his every move.

Director Wu pulled Lin Mu and complained: "Xiao Lin, you are here, but you have kept this distinguished guest waiting for a long time! You said it! I'll introduce it to you..."

Lin Mu looked at the old man, and he felt that he must know him, of course not his original self, but his predecessor.After searching in my mind, I finally remembered!
He hurriedly stepped forward and said in a respectful voice: "Coach Gu, hello! I didn't know it was you! My side..."

The old man smiled, raised his body slightly, and stretched out his hand. Lin Mu quickly stretched out his hands and shook them respectfully.

"Hey? Xiao Lin knows me, that's great! But also, there are some of us Chinese sports people who don't know Mr. Gu!"

The old man smiled and didn't care about Director Wu's compliments. He had heard these words many times. The real situation is that except for professional sports people, not many people know him now.Track and field!China has always been weak!
Gu Lao sat down according to the Lin screen, and said, "Xiao Lin, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I didn't expect you to remember the old man?! Last time I was in Jiangzhen, I didn't know it was you, or I would have seen you earlier in the morning." !did not expect……"

Director Wu also sat down with him, but he didn't interrupt. It seemed that they had known each other for a long time. No wonder the old man's face suddenly changed when he introduced the situation in the morning.But Kobayashi seemed to be only in the provincial team before.Has this ever happened to the national team?

At this time, Lin Mu said: "Mr. Gu, why don't you remember? Although I didn't stay in the national team training for a long time, I was deeply impressed by you. I was thinking at the time that when I retire in the future, I will Just like you, cultivate sports talents for the country!"

"Hehe, you retired last year, and I still feel sorry for you when I heard about it. But it's good now, and continue to contribute to the national sports cause! Haha!" Old Gu smiled heartily, and continued: "You don't want to do it now. Did you become a coach? It’s just that I didn’t expect that you actually taught the 100 meters and 200 meters! If not, I might have remembered it in Jiangzhen!"

Lin Mu explained with a smile: "I didn't know you were always in Jiangzhen, or maybe I would visit you! At that time, I took a few students to the competition, and I didn't know the place. I didn't ask around! But I am really flattered that you have made a special trip here!"

Mr. Gu shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't know it was you before I came here. I saw something about the competition in Jiang Town. Those children taught them so well! I wanted to meet this middle school teacher at that time. It’s just that there was a temporary delay later. This delay has come to the present!”

Lin Mu didn't know how to strike up a conversation, there was no need to be modest, and he didn't want to flatter him, so he could only keep nodding his head.

The greetings were similar, and Mr. Gu didn't intend to go around, and continued: "Xiao Lin, we sports people don't mess around with those people who are around. Before I came, I thought about how to communicate with this middle school teacher. Now it's you, then It's easy to say!"

Lin Mu nodded again, waiting for Mr. Gu's next words.

"Xiaolin, let me get straight to the point and say, I want you to follow me to the national team this time! I read everything you taught those kids, and I watched it several times afterwards. Our national track and field needs more You are such a talented person! What do you think?"

Mr. Gu's words were very certain. After he finished speaking, he just looked at Lin Mu with a smile and waited quietly for his answer.

To be honest, the national team is short of coaches, but there is really no shortage.To put it bluntly, a bunch of people can squeeze in with just a move of the hand.Really level, there are many people who want to mix their qualifications!Not bad one or two!
We can’t say that these people who want to squeeze in have no skills. If they really don’t have any skills, they won’t dare to get in. If their secrets are exposed and their reputations are ruined, they won’t be able to survive in the sports world!

but……

These old sportsmen who have come from that period always think a little more.The country is developing, the society is developing, and all walks of life are developing.Sports or their track and field, how can they stand still.

But these years have passed, and as an insider, I have found more and more that the development of track and field is too slow now!Some technical things are still maintained at the customary level of the 8s and 9s.

Since becoming the hegemon of Asian track and field in the 80s, it seems that these people have become more and more satisfied with the current situation, and the situation has become worse and worse over the years.Recently, the advantages have become smaller and smaller. If this continues, the situation will be worrying!
Is there no elite athlete?No, at least in Asia, these athletes are considered excellent.At least it's not worse than the people from that small country, they can make some achievements!
That's the problem with the method!The method that has brought out achievements is a good experience and cannot be discarded, but you have to keep adding it.Of course, it’s not that there is no supplement at all, but it’s too little and too slow!

He doesn't know what the leaders think.But judging from Gu Lao's inner thoughts, he needs something fresh, or a concept that can catch up with the world trend to inject some vitality into the national team.

In the past, those who came in, the young ones did not dare to speak, while the old ones stayed step by step, for fear of breaking the pots and jars.He looked really anxious.But there is no way, they all have their own foundation, and sometimes they really can't help themselves.

That's why, after he discovered the performance of those students, he had an idea in his heart, and it became more and more intense as the competition progressed!
He is really optimistic, without those basic constraints, and has a level, so I thought about talking to this teacher before.

But then I thought about it, just because the other party is a teacher, not a system, it is impossible to directly transfer orders.It's even more impossible to talk nonsense when you meet in person.For this reason, he even went back to the national team to communicate with relevant people.

Now that he was here, he just didn't expect it to be Lin Mu, which made him even more determined.Not only is the opponent now a coach with a good level, but he was also an athlete with some achievements in the past, so everything is even better!A coach who is an athlete is the best in every aspect!

When Mr. Gu came out, Director Wu on the side was shocked. This... he thought he was looking for someone before, but now he is directly targeting Xiao Lin?Just jump to the national team!I couldn't help but be a little shocked when I thought of this.Then I thought of the people in my sports team, and I couldn't help but feel itchy in my heart!

I approached Xiaolin a few times before and asked him to go to the sports team to guide him, but he didn't say a word a few times.He is not angry with Kobayashi.How could he not know the twists and turns inside.I just want to run a few more times, and after I get used to it, there will be progress!As a result, now, this person is going to the national team in a blink of an eye!This made him even more annoyed!
Lin Mu didn't have time to deal with Director Wu's thoughts, he was now carefully analyzing the situation of this matter.

First of all, going to the national team is definitely a good thing. It is a good thing that Mr. Shan Gu came here in person.Although Gu Lao no longer has a specific position in the national team, he has been an athlete, won the Asian Games championship, won the Asian Championships, and even served as the deputy head coach.As far as his qualifications are concerned, others will always give him some face.

However, my own disadvantages are still too obvious. I don't have any resume, except for the runner-up in the 400-meter National Games when I was an athlete, I have no coaching at all.After arriving in the national team, he really has no idea what is going on now.

Although he has decided to seize this opportunity and take this step, he asks himself now what he has learned from Wikipedia plus his skills, as well as the 56 achievement points he has accumulated from previous competitions and the past month.I also have the confidence to take a step forward!
But he still wants to ask himself how to arrange after he arrives in the national team.

So after considering his tone, Lin Mu said, "Mr. Gu, I'm really flattered that you invited me in person. But... I want to know how you plan to arrange for me when I'm in the national team? Coach? Assistant coach? Or Is it a sparring partner?"

Gu Lao nodded, not surprised, it's good to have an idea.He didn't intend to fool him either, "Xiao Lin, I talked with Director Yu. At present, we can only start with teaching assistants. Our country's national conditions are here. There is no way..."

Lin Mu nodded. It's expected that he won't be able to become a full-time coach.He can understand, but what he cares more about is not the position: "Mr. Gu, it really doesn't matter what the position is. I'm still young, so I don't care! I just want to know, if I become this teaching assistant, what will I have? Don’t have anyone to take with me? You know, I can only lead people to train, I really can’t do the other things!”

Mr. Gu was silent, he didn't know how to answer!The athletes of the national team all have their own full-time coaches, and the general assistants are just to help these full-time coaches.But looking at Xiaolin's situation...

After thinking about it, Mr. Gu made a decision in his heart!He is really optimistic about Lin Mu's side, so he can't just waste it like this!Be a try.It seems that I still need to communicate with President Feng and Director Yu, I believe it will give me some face.

"Xiao Lin, I can't promise you anything now! The old man is not fooling you, I want to communicate with the leaders again!"

After a pause, Mr. Gu continued: "But you still want to go to the national team! I can tell you in advance that the existing athletes of the national team have full-time coaches, and it is impossible to change them casually. Even if there is progress , the athletes may have to look for them by themselves, and they may not be considered as regular members of the national team for the time being, do you understand?"

Lin Mu nodded, accepting the argument. He wasn't negotiating conditions, he asked himself that he was not qualified.Now that the decision was made, he asked what should be asked, and he no longer hesitated.

"Mr. Gu, it's always been my dream to go to the national team. I used to think about being an athlete. Now that I'm retired, I can become a coach. That's my dream come true. The country has a calling, and it's my duty!"
