Fame with a ball

Early the next morning, a group of seven CCTV reporters took a taxi to the door of Lin Zhigao's apartment. They saw Lin Zhigao wearing a white sportswear and wearing earphones, listening to music leisurely and doing some simple warm-up exercises. .

"What kind of travel do you usually choose?" Chen Xin, the team leader, asked Lin Zhigao, "Bus? Taxi? Or self-driving?"

"I haven't taken the driver's license test yet, and I haven't bought a car. I usually go to the club by running or taking the bus." Lin Zhigao glanced at the big and small bags in their hands: "Shall we go by bus?"

"I really want to shoot the scene of you running to the club, the audience will be more interested." Chen Xin smiled wryly: "But we forgot to rent a car. Now it seems that it is more convenient to take the bus."

Lin Zhigao nodded, and walked ahead of them first, leading them to the stop sign at the intersection of the street.

A reporter has already turned on the camera, taking pictures of Lin Zhigao's back.

After walking two steps, Lin Zhigao suddenly turned around: "Do I need to be more special?"

"No, you just have to do what you usually do. You can even pretend that we don't exist, so the effect will be good."

Lin Zhigao nodded, turned around and walked in front of the team, as if this group of reporters did not exist, and stopped talking to them.

What a child.Chen Xin thought in his heart, when he went to interview the players of the national football team and the Chinese Super League, which one of them didn't deliberately express himself in front of the camera, and couldn't wait to let him interview them. I don't know how to hype myself.

In fact, this is... very good.

The buses in London are all typical British red double-decker buses. The camera took a close-up of this old bus and took pictures of Lin Zhigao queuing up to get on the bus. Then Chen Xin took the lead, and the reporters also bought tickets one by one. car.

The London media, especially the tabloid industry is extremely developed, and reporters can be seen everywhere on the streets at any time, so no one is curious about this photo crew composed of all Asians. Only one or two London children sneaked in front of the camera and stuck out their tongues , and then run away quickly.

This bus goes directly to the North Shore of Thames, Hamsmith-Fulham in Greater London, England.In the vicinity of Fulham, there are three Premier League clubs - Chelsea, Fulham, and Queens Park Rangers.Needless to say, Chelsea are the giants of the Premier League. Fulham has always been a strong team in the Premier League, but they have been ranked low in recent years. Queens Park Rangers are newly promoted to the Premier League this year.

There are very few residents living in Fulham who are not fans, and if they are fans, most of them belong to these three clubs.On the bus, a teenager who looked like he was only [-] or [-] years old spotted and recognized Lin Zhigao, and asked him for his autograph.

Chen Xin saw this scene, and quickly asked the photographer to take a picture of it, and gave a close-up of the British teenager who couldn't help smiling because he wanted to get Lin Zhigao's autograph.

……

Queens Park Rangers live next to Chelsea and Fulham, and even the training ground is not far away.When the 07 Beijing Olympic Cup was about to come, the Olympic team wanted to use Chelsea's training ground for training, but was rejected, and then chose the Queen's Park Rangers training ground.However, during the training period, the Olympic team had a large-scale gang fight with the players of Queens Park Rangers. The impact of this incident was extremely bad, and the British media called it the "Harrington Incident".In order to prevent bad influence, the Chinese media almost blocked the news.

It was also for this reason before that China has always had a dislike for the Queens Park Rangers team, even if they signed Lin Zhigao later.Later, because of Lin Zhigao's outstanding performance, the relevant domestic parties "generously" forgave the team's previous mistakes.

In fact, no matter how powerful some people in China are, they can’t control their Premier League clubs at all. If you forgive them or not, they don’t rely on you for food. Only you think you have a good face. Why bother?

Chen Xin thought Lin Zhigao didn't know about this period of history, but Lin Zhigao actually knew a little bit.After joining the club, an old player who had played for the team for five or six years expressed emotion to Lin Zhigao: "The football you play is completely different from that of your compatriots. They play football too dirty."

At that time, Lin Zhigao didn't know what this sentence meant at all. After asking, he found out that when the National Olympic team was playing a friendly match with the Rangers at that time, someone actually played tricks in the game, which suddenly angered his personality. The violent British players counterattacked and beat the Olympic players, and then gradually fell into a large-scale gang fight.Afterwards, the British media claimed that the Olympic team did not play football, but that they were "monks of Shaolin Temple".

Lin Zhigao was very silent when he heard about this incident, but since then, he, who didn't know much about domestic football, began to understand that he must be "cautious" when playing with national team players.

After coming to the club, the head coach Warnock specially asked Lin Zhigao to give some advice, which made Lin Zhigao quickly forget the CCTV reporter's shooting task and put himself into intense training.

Warnock told him that the FA had informed the club this morning that a hearing on Lin Zhigao's application for a work certification as an exceptional talent would be held next week.

Whether or not to obtain a labor certificate is directly related to whether Lin Zhigao can continue to play in the Premier League.If the labor certificate is obtained, then everything is easy to say, and the club will directly complete the five-year contract with him.And if the application for the labor certificate is unsuccessful——When Lin Zhigao signed the contract with the club, there was such a content in it, which means that once Lin Zhigao is unable to obtain the qualification to play in the UK, the club will directly terminate the contract with him , and there is no need to pay a penny of liquidated damages.

Therefore, whether it is Warnock, Lin Zhigao, or the top management of the club, they all understand the significance of obtaining the labor certification this time.Because, after almost half a season, they have gradually seen a situation, that is, if the team can always have Lin Zhigao, they will get direct and strong protection on the front line.

Because Lin Zhigao has only played in the Premier League for less than half a season, it is a bit difficult to apply for a labor certificate.The club executives have promised that Warnock will try his best to help Lin Zhigao, but he also needs to perform well on the field. Although he has not yet won any trophy or personal honor, as long as he can perform well in the battle against the giants, Then it will be much easier to apply for a labor certification.

Lin Zhigao understood what the head coach meant. Just three days before the hearing of the FA, Queens Park Rangers had a league match against Chelsea. Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea have performed well in the competition. In that case, coupled with the efforts of the club, maybe they can win the labor permit in one fell swoop!

……

Standing on the edge of the training field with a camera, the CCTV reporters who concentrated on filming Lin Zhigao's training scene did not know what was going on in his heart. They just saw Lin Zhigao who was training hard, swaying him on the green field as if he didn't want money. own sweat.

In order to allow these Chinese reporters who came from afar to have more material to shoot, and to hone their tactics, Warnock specially divided the first-line players into two teams, and then transferred a few players from the youth team to do confrontation exercises for them.

Even if it was just a training match, Lin Zhigao still tried his best to compete.Every time he passes, steals, and shoots, he goes all out, and that unrelenting attitude also infected some players around him. In a confrontation match, he almost played at the level of a normal game.

While observing the game on the field, Warnock scribbled on the notebook with a pen, formation, starting lineup, and the advantages of each actor, all of which he had to arrange to perfection before the game.Warnock is very satisfied to see that the game has been maintained fiercely. The team's players do not lack the kind of lively and cheerful players who can drive the atmosphere. On the right way, going to play seriously.

A leader who can control players and make them obedient is not a good leader. A good leader can not only do the above, but should still use himself to infect others, so that others will not listen to progress.

Although Lin is talented, Warnock sees more and more qualities in him.Perhaps, he really did the right thing in digging treasures this time, and it was so worth it!

Standing on the sidelines, Chen Xin watched the training with a lot of emotion in his heart.

No wonder it is always difficult for domestic teams to get a better ranking in the international arena, just compare their training and you will know!

Although the training intensity of the domestic Super League teams and the national team is not weak, there is a lack of the purest competitive spirit there!Every half an hour, the head coach of Queens Park Rangers will call all the players who were still playing confrontation games to his side, and then make one-on-one comments on them, pointing out their shortcomings, and how to deal with them in the next game. The directions that need to be improved and focused on.And those team members also listened seriously, and none of them was distracted. Whether it was the coach or the players, they were all treating football with a serious, responsible and enthusiastic attitude!

What's even more rare is that their faces are full of desire for victory!

As for the domestic league, for example, the training of the national team representing the highest level in the country.Since the Spanish head coach Camacho signed a contract with China and started coaching the national team, China Central Television also went to the national team training base to do a lot of interviews, but the atmosphere there... don't worry about it.

Camacho is not the first foreign coach hired by China, Chen Xin is sure that he will definitely not be the last.Because even Camacho, who was once a famous Spanish star, once a powerful Spaniard, and the head coach of a wealthy Real Madrid, is absolutely at a loss for Chinese football.

During the training of the national team, Camacho couldn't suppress the "ball masters" of the national team at all. The coach formulates the game tactics, if Camacho wants to express his opposition?Very well, what will greet him will be the unanimous resistance of the national team players, making troubles, and then things will become big, the head coach will be fired, and the ball masters?The big deal is to send more gifts to officials to resolve this trouble.

If the head coach of the Premier League is the head coach with the most power in the world, then the head coaches of La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and other leagues have to lean back.And the head coaches of the Chinese league...they almost hold less power than the head coaches of La Liga and other leagues.The head coaches of the Premier League can control the power of club transfers. The head coaches of La Liga and other leagues can control players, mediate the locker room, and arrange tactics. However, most of the head coaches in China seem to have only job responsibilities — Arrange tactics.

Other than that, they can't do anything.why?Because the higher-ups have arrangements for this.

Chen Xin knew everything about Camacho's treatment in the national team, but Camacho couldn't change anything.Because once Camacho wants to make changes to the Chinese men's football team, someone will call him immediately on the same day, warn him, and then instruct him: "You just need to make tactical arrangements. The rest, the Football Association ( or the State Sports General Administration) have arrangements."

Not only the head coach problem has caused Chinese football to sink into the quagmire, but there are others.Institutional issues, senior official football, red envelope football, black whistle, black feet, etc.

The Chinese Football Association is the most idiotic organization in the world. It is the only official football organization in the world that only exists to make money. Their existence has caused Chinese football to look at money from top to bottom.The country does not care about the cultivation of juvenile football players.Players who don’t give red envelopes to the coach don’t want to become the main players in the game, and don’t want to enter the national team if they don’t play well and don’t give officials red envelopes. In 08, the Olympic team had clearly marked the price, several 10 yuan per quota of Olympic players, resulting in a long line of people who gave gifts to the senior officials of the Football Association, and also caused the Olympic players to come and go frequently. In the 08 Olympic Cup, he almost lost even the fig leaf.

Such problems are too numerous to enumerate. In this way, Chinese football has gradually entered the abyss.

In fact, are the Chinese really bad at playing football?This is definitely not the case. Not to mention Cuju in the Song Dynasty, but modern Chinese football has also had glory.In the Far East Games during the period of the Republic of China, the Chinese team won the championship by beating the Japanese team 5:0. In the ten games, they won the championship nine times. ,The big score of 5:0,4 made Japanese football lose face. The extra headlines of the newspapers were "Chinese football iron army, dignified ten-year winning streak".

Since then, Chinese football has been called the "Iron Army" by the outside world. In 1936, at the 11th Berlin Games, the Chinese men's football team played against England, the originator of modern football, and even scored a 7-0 victory.Even in the 70s, when China just resumed diplomacy with the world, Chinese football performed well, but since then, Chinese football has become a puddle of mud, which not only cannot be supported, but even makes everyone who sees it feel embarrassed. Say it stinks?

I'm afraid that on this issue, only after some organizations have completely collapsed will someone comment on the merits and demerits. ...

After seeing off the CCTV reporter team, Lin Zhigao soon ushered in a new round of league opponents, Chelsea.

Chelsea, a giant in the Premier League and one of the largest clubs in the world, has many stars.

Queens Park Rangers, newly promoted in the Premier League, hardly has a big name on the team.

Both clubs are in west London and, moreover, they are bitter rivals.

Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers have become sworn rivals not only because they are located in West London. The two teams have had more grievances in history. Chelsea used to be able to catch up to the top of the list and win the league championship by checking a few points. However, because they were defeated by Queens Park Rangers and fell behind by a few points, Chelsea could only get the second place in the league. Team Queens Park Rangers.

Once Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers were bitter rivals, but the two teams almost never met in the game, and now, Queens Park Rangers have returned to the Premier League.Some Chelsea fans have already started clamoring, saying, "Queens Park Rangers will never win against Chelsea. I'm afraid you will have to go back to the Championship after this season is over!"

The Queen's Park Rangers fans countered: "Arrogant Chelsea people, if you dare to come to Loftus Road Stadium, let us show you some color!"

"Weak and weak Queens Park Rangers! Torres will definitely get your goal shot at least three times!"

"Do you think we are afraid of you? We still have Lin!"

"Haha, that Chinese kid with no hair at all?"

……

The battle of scolding has been going on for several days, and most of the media have also paid more attention to this game. The derby or the battle between the deadly enemies can hit the G-spot of these reporters even more, let them Gao Chao, this is much more exciting than reporting on other boring matches in the same league.

On November 11, the 22th round of the Premier League, Loftus Road Stadium, Queens Park Rangers played against Chelsea at home.
