Mister Legend

Chapter 23 The Trailblazers of Chinese Football

After seeing Zheng Xiaoyang's name displayed on the screen, Li Mudi pressed the call button, "Xiaoyang, why are you free to call at this time?"

The distance between the two teams is still not close, but they often communicate with each other by phone and email.After the victory over the Royal United, Zheng Xiaoyang also specially called to congratulate him, and exchanged his recent experience by the way. It's only been four days, so what's the matter?
"Old Li, I have something to tell you. A friend from a circle in China came to Spain, and I don't know him well. They found me through connections. They are in Madrid now and have learned your name. I was wondering if you had time to meet with them."

Hearing this, Li Mudi's curiosity was aroused.People in the football circle of the Chinese Dynasty have come to Spain, what are they doing here?What are the official activities recently?Could it be the head coach of the national team... Thinking of this, Li Mudi's heart suddenly gathered, but he immediately put it back.With his own fame and age, how could he be associated with that position?And in my impression, the Frenchman Perrin was followed by Director Gao, and I have never heard that he was selected as a handsome man in Europe.What could it be?

Just when Li Modi was thinking wildly, Zheng Xiaoyang on the phone couldn't wait, "Hello? Are you still there? Why is there no movement?"

"Yes, yes, someone brought over a document just now, I accepted it, and you continue to talk."

The other side continued: "Your boy seems to be popular in China now. People should pass by you and suddenly want to contact you, but they don't have your contact information, so they asked someone for help and finally called me. They I want your mobile phone number, how about it, will you give it to them?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Mudi asked, "Do you know who it is? From the sports committee? Or that club who came to inspect foreign players?"

"It shouldn't be official. It sounds like the caller is from Shanghai. I guess it might be a team that came to sign up. Are you optimistic about your people? Now that there are so many local tyrants in the country, you may really be able to make some money." trade."

Hearing Zheng Xiaoyang's ridicule, Li Mudi said in a bad mood: "Even if I want to buy Castilla players, I can't make the decision! The transfer of the reserve team has nothing to do with me. And even if the transfer It will be a good thing for me to be successful. My people are gone, but the transfer fee goes to the first team."

"Hehe." Hearing the complaints here, Zheng Xiaoyang didn't know how to respond. "Will you give it? People are waiting for news."

"Give it, they're all in the same circle, and it's not easy to go out and do things, so help if you can."

"Well, you can wait for them to call you. I'll put it down first. I still have things to do. We'll talk someday when I have time."

After hanging up the phone, Li Modi couldn't remember what he was going to do before, and his mind was all on the matter of the arrival from China.Who the hell is he here for?

I don't know how long I have been thinking in a daze, the phone rang again, and Li Modi who was awakened quickly picked it up and connected the phone.

A Shanghai-like voice came through the microphone: "Hello, is this Li Mudi Li's director?"

Although Li Mudi's ability to judge characteristics is very poor, he can also feel that this person is much older than himself, so he immediately responded in a modest tone: "You are welcome, I am Li Mudi, but I dare not call it a guide. , is an ordinary football coach. May I ask who you are?"

"You are too polite. Let me introduce myself. I am the founder of Shanghai Chongming Gengbao Football Club, Xu Gengbao!"

Hiss... A chill rushed straight into Li Mudi's mind!For the name Xu Gengbao, those who are familiar with the development history of Tianchao football must still remember it fresh, and any record related to Tianchao football will have a strong stroke of him.

Xu Gengbao's most impressive label is his successful head coach status, but in fact it is far more than that.The old coach was a Chinese national player in the 70s and 98s, and he served as the captain for a long time.When the professionalization of Tianchao football just started, he led Shanghai Shenhua to block the Dalian football dynasty with the famous "grab, force, and encircle" tactics, so that the relatively immature Chinese football at that time avoided a dominance. situation.Afterwards, in [-], he personally brought Dalian the last championship in the second three consecutive championships.Coupled with the success of leading Guangzhou Songri and Shanghai COSCO to upgrade, the old coach's coaching ability is definitely one of the few in China.

What makes Xu Gengbao far surpass other outstanding coaches in the football circle is his attention and specific work on Tianchao football youth training.At the turn of the century, he founded the Genbao football base, put forward the slogan of "sharpening a sword in ten years", devoted himself to training young players, and successfully founded the current Chinese Super League giants (or local giants?) Shanghai SIPG five years later The predecessor of the football club - Shanghai East Asia Football Club.It can be said that the old man's contribution to Tianchao football is very huge.

As a person who is one and a quarter of the football circle (one-quarter of his hobbies in his previous life), Li Mudi respected Xu Gengbao quite a lot. When he heard that the person who wanted to contact him was a handsome man, he immediately got out of the chair. Standing up, he said in a respectful tone with a little stammer: "Guide Xu, you... hello! I heard that you have been coming to Madrid all the time? Is it convenient to visit you?"

"Hehe, I just said you were polite, why did you get worse again?" The old man said very kindly: "My team and I arrived in Madrid today. After a night's rest, we are going to Murcia tomorrow. If you don't bother me, I will I want to chat with you. Where is your exact location? I'll find you."

Classmate Xiao Li was flattered, "There's no reason to bother you. I know you well here, so I'd better go find you. Where are you now? Has the hotel been arranged?"

"It's been arranged, everyone is in the room. We are really not familiar with the road, if it is convenient, please trouble Director Li..."

"Just call me Xiao Li. I don't dare to call you a guide or not in front of your boss. Also, don't worry, the transportation in Madrid is very convenient. Just tell me the address, and I'll be there right away." Li Modi interjected respectfully.

"Hehe, that's good, thank you for your trouble. The hotel I'm staying at is the Novotel Madrid Campodelas Naciones (Novotel Madrid Campodelas Naciones), which is not too far from the airport. The specific address is... Let me see."

Li Mudi quickly responded: "I know the address, so you should take a rest first, I will go out right away, and I will arrive in about four to ten minutes."

"Okay, let's meet in the coffee shop downstairs."

After agreeing to meet, Li Modi immediately put on his coat, took his wallet and mobile phone and ran out of the apartment, took a taxi and went straight to the hotel.

The road went very smoothly and we arrived at our destination in half an hour.

The Asian man in the white Castilian coach uniform was still very attractive. After getting out of the car, he was watched by many people all the way, which made Li Modi very embarrassed. He quickly stepped up and walked into the hotel gate .

After entering the door, Li Modi strolled inside while looking around to see where the coffee shop was.Just when the waiter at the side was about to come up to ask if he needed help, an old man stood up from the rest seat in the lobby, and it was the old coach Xu Gengbao.

After Li Mudi saw it, he trotted forward immediately, stretched out his hands, held Director Xu's hand respectfully, and said a little excitedly: "Director Xu, I have admired your name for a long time! I really never expected to have the opportunity to see your old side."

The old coach who was extremely sharp on the coaching bench in the past had a kind face and said with a big smile: "It's fortunate that you still value me so much. I am not a big shot now, and few young people nowadays know me." .”

Li Mudi hurriedly said seriously: "You are always the true pioneer of Tianchao football, and a role model for our younger generation to learn from!"

The old man laughed out loud, shook his head slightly and said, "Just fool me! Come on, let's go over there and order a drink before we talk."

After sitting down in the coffee shop, he casually ordered a drink, and Li Modi asked, "Why did you get down? Didn't you agree to contact you when I arrive?"

Director Xu looked at the young head coach on the opposite side, and replied with a smile: "I slept for a long time on the plane, and I have nothing to do in the room. I asked the few people who came together to go outside with a companion, and simply cleaned up. It came down immediately and didn't stay for a few minutes."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Modi asked the previous question, "Is there something wrong with you leading the team this time?"

"A few of us are going to Lorca in the autonomous region of Murcia (Murcia), and I plan to buy one of their football schools." The old coach made a big move when he came up.

When Li Mudi heard this, he was very surprised, and then he thought about it, remembering that there was such a thing before time travel.Xu Gengbao became the chairman of a Western Division B team. Before he crossed over, it seemed that his performance was not bad. The news on the Internet said that they were expected to be promoted successfully.

Seeing that Li Mudi immediately calmed down after being amazed, the old man was stunned for a moment, and continued: "This matter has been discussed with the local government initially, and this time it was for further talks, but it seems that it is possible to succeed now. It is very interesting. I contacted you temporarily this time just to hear your young people’s understanding of football. And Xiao Li, you are also a Spanish speaker now, and I would like to hear what suggestions you have for their football development.”

These words startled Li Mudi again, "In front of your boss, how dare I, a junior, make any suggestions! How can I have the qualifications?"

"Hehe..." How do you feel that Director Xu intends to transform into Director Zhang Lu, "I'm afraid you don't know how popular you are in China now? You can search the emoji package on the Internet now." The smile when speaking is so weird.

Li Mudi took out his mobile phone, connected to wifi (a good man who keeps the house!), opened the Baidu web page and entered the hottest emoji package, and instantly "Xiao Yueyue", "Brother Xueyou", "Curator Jin" and so on popped up.Li Modi was very familiar with these emoticons before time travel, how could people who often use the Internet not use them?However, among these, an emoji package called "Spanish coach brother" has become so popular in recent days that it has quickly risen to the top of the rankings.Through this name and a few pictures given in the post, Li Mudi confirmed that he is the cruel reality of the protagonist, almost shed tears, and thought to himself: "What the hell is this shit?"
