The Ball at Your Feet - 972nd Festival The Stage of Dreams

“This is tv, continue to broadcast the opening ceremony of the Beijing World Cup for you. Now, the athletes have left the stadium…”

“Can you turn that thing off? Isn’t it interesting to listen to it all the time?” Sitting in the locker room, Zhao Rang, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head. He looked at his teammates holding them. Somewhat dissatisfied, “Do you know that the game will be in a while? This is the opener. Is it honorable to lose?”

“You can still lose if you play Côte d’Ivoire? Are you kidding me? Go and go, foreigners like you don’t understand the Chinese people’s expectations for the World Cup.”

The words of his teammates caused laughter in the locker room, and also made Zhao Rang change color to get up, but at this time, the hand stretched out from behind grabbed his clothes and pulled him out a long way.

“Okay, everyone is too much.” Zhao Yaning’s voice made everyone stop talking, “Be quiet for a while and prepare for the game for a while. The opening ceremony can also be seen in the future, so don’t worry about it for a while.”

“Okay, Brother Zhao, we all listen to you.” Players, the name of Brother Zhao is very loud, “Let’s take a rest and get ready to play.”

“Zhao Rang, come with me.”

The two people went one after the other and walked to a place where there was no one before Zhao Yaning spoke, “Couldn’t the relationship between you and your teammates be better?”

“Obviously they squeezed me out!” Zhao Rang was very dissatisfied. “You have seen it yourself. If you say the same thing, they will listen, I said they will not listen. And, what do they mean by calling you brother? They are deliberate. of……”

“Then why are you unlucky?” Zhao Yaning asked back, “Is there nothing wrong with what you did yourself? I don’t bother to count your bad debts in England. I have only been training for a few days after returning to China? How much did you provoke? Trouble? Do you think this is abroad? You and the female reporter slept and patted your **** and left? One month back, how many **** things did you do? Why are you crazy?”

“I’m just being unambiguous during the game.”

“I told you how many times, how much you put in, the game will give you as much output. If you refuse to work hard like this, you will only suffer in the end.” Zhao Yaning put it straight, “Don’t play well. Don’t maintain relationships with teammates, don’t want to play better, but blindly self-confidence – you are looking for death by yourself, if I weren’t your father, I won’t talk about you, if this goes on, you will be unlucky.”

Zhao Rang didn’t speak any more, just leaned against the wall and ignored him.

“I know that your growth like this has something to do with me. Our adults’ affairs have not been handled properly and have an impact on you. But you are a man, a man, if you are uncomfortable, you should be able to bear it. Your little thing , You ask me to apologize, I can do it, but if you use this as a reason, this virtue will always ruin yourself, it’s not like a man anymore.”

“I am not because of this incompatibility.” Zhao Rang waved his hand, trying to say something, but still did not speak.

“If you have any thoughts, tell me what you think.”

“Have you ever thought about a problem-you are 38 years old, and you still depend on the national team not to retire. This should have been my World Cup trip, this is my first World Cup, and it turned out to be yours? I am also a famous star anyhow, and the same level as me is the core of their respective national teams, but when I come to participate in the World Cup, they all think that I am your support, and they only listen to you…this If it was ten years ago, there is nothing wrong with it, but now, everyone ignores me, I am very awkward.”

“I’m 38, how old are you? What you have is the future. They say that, it’s just that I played for the national team for 20 years and played 200 games. They owe me and want to supply me. What are you fighting for?” Zhao Yaning said. “Besides, is the position on the field contested like this? If you are a little sensible, you still need me to be the boss here? Do you think I’m not happy to give you a ride? But look at yourself, yes What a leader looks like?”

Zhao Rang did not speak, but lowered his head.

“You can be awkward, but if you are awkward, it becomes a motivation on the field, rather than a trouble in the dressing room. You remembered to me that people have to be with the group to be successful. Football is a group sport, not It’s that simple.” Zhao Yaning said, “It’s been 20 years. I’ve been thinking about such a day when I first played in the national team. You didn’t even have you back then. Give me face, don’t make me think about 20 The things of the year, because of your unhappiness, have been in vain.

“I know, but… but if these people, under your leadership, have already won all the honors, then in the future, what is my direction of efforts? You got everything, what is left for me?” Zhao I am still a little dissatisfied, “What should I pursue in my future?

“Leave it to you… the goal.” Zhao Yaning looked at him, “If you don’t know where to work, just think about the regrets left by your Lao Tzu. After all, I only won four Asian Cups. I don’t know if I can get the World Cup. I changed the Chinese team from a third-rate team to a first-class team. However, I didn’t have the time and energy left to turn a first-class team into a top team. My life , The biggest goal is to pursue such a World Cup, but your goal shouldn’t be just that. Your pursuit should be more ambitious, and your goal should be to turn the team into the world’s top strong team. . Son, your road is still very long.”

“This is the 2022 World Cup final. The Chinese team will play against Brazil. This game will be the highest level of football competition in this World Cup. Now the whole world is watching this game. Everyone It should be clear that this game is the 200th game of Zhao Yaning’s national team, and it may be the last game, but this is also Zhao Yaning’s first World Cup final. Whether he can defeat Brazil is also the focus of attention. ”

“On the Chinese team’s side, Zhao Yaning and Zhao Rang are still the focus of the most attention. The father and son have never partnered before in the club. They have played together in no more than ten games. But not. Not to mention, there is indeed an incomprehensible and deep tacit understanding between father and son. In this World Cup, so far, three of Zhao Rang’s five goals have come from Zhao Yaning’s assists and Zhao Yaning’s three scores. One of the ball was Zhao Rang’s return goal, and of his four assists, only one was given to the national team’s veteran Wu Lei, and the others were given to his son. Obviously, Zhao Yaning’s old and strong, And Zhao Rang’s youth is permeated, and they form the core of this national team very well.”

“This trip to the World Cup is not easy. Argentina under the command of Veron, Brazil under the command of Emerson, and Portugal under the command of Mourinho are all favorites to win the championship. They are outstanding and difficult to deal with. However, the Chinese team managed to stand out, defeated all their opponents, and advanced to the finals.”

“I have to say that Zhao Yaning is indeed a national treasure of the Chinese national team. This time the national team’s promotion is not smooth. In the group match, I encountered Côte d’Ivoire. Coach Drogba once commanded the team to give a good advantage. , But in the end Zhao Rang was beaten, and in the Ukraine, the Ukrainian team’s morale increased greatly when their Deputy Prime Minister Shepchenko personally visited the stadium, and it was like a god-assisted draw with the Chinese team. But by relying on In the last game, Zhao Rang and Zhao Yaning scored a goal each, defeating Argentina, and finally qualified.”

“In the knockout round, the Chinese team defeated the poorly-conditioned Italian team and broke the first big upset. Then, when the Chinese team scored 4, the Chinese team faced the Netherlands again. The game was very exciting. In the end, the Chinese team relied on Zhao Rang to score twice and played a stalemate with the Dutch team. Then, Zhao Yaning’s goal successfully defeated the Netherlands and the Chinese team won. In the semi-finals, Germany, Because of the excellent arrangement of the German coach Lahm, the Chinese team was almost defeated. In the end, it was Zhao Yaning’s free kick savior and helped the Chinese team equalize. In overtime, Zhao Rang received Zhao Yaning’s long pass and ran into the backcourt. Successfully killed the German team and enabled the Chinese team to advance to the finals-Zhao Yaning played quite low-key in this World Cup. Most of the time, he gave up performance opportunities to his teammates, but his three goals were all It is very important. It can be said that each goal is golden, which makes the Chinese team come to this step. Old and strong, well-deserved. And the idleness, he finally waited for what he wanted, the World Cup The finals, this is his life’s dream and pursuit.”

“And beside him, the members of the national team are also quite outstanding. This time the Chinese national team is a combination of three generations of old, middle and youth. Among the veterans, Wu Lei, ** Peng and others are still playing, but more It’s just to pass on experience, and the young players are now the main candidates for the national team. Most of them now play in the five major leagues, and their level is very good. In the national team, it is even more integrated by Zhao Yaning. , The game was extremely smooth. The Chinese national team has been developing by leaps and bounds over the past ten years. We all remember that when Zhao Yaning played for the national team for the first time, the national team’s ranking was only 70. But now , The Chinese team is already ranked in the top 20 in the world. And you know, at that time, the Chinese team did not have Zhao Rang~www.mtlnovel.com~ and this time, Zhao Rang also started to play, and our hopes are even greater. .”

“The Brazilian team can’t be ignored. Their veteran Neymar is leading, and they are pretty good now. The Brazilian coach Emerson is a good coach. Under his command, Brazil can play very well, but they are young. The teenager, Machado, who is known as Zhao Rang’s lifelong enemy, did not play very well. The Chinese team’s odds of winning are still quite large.”

The fans cheering and cheering echoed all around, and Zhao Yaning raised his head and looked at the stadium. This is the home stadium of the Chinese team. This 100,000 people stadium completed only two years ago is the most advanced stadium in the world. Here, every time he hears the cheers of the fans, Zhao Yaning has a feeling: This is the game I want, where I want to win.

“The game is about to begin. The Zhao Yaning Stadium is now boiling. This stadium will see the most important game of their name. This is a step for Zhao Yaning and a step for Chinese football…”

“Father, are you ready?”

Behind him, Zhao Rang’s voice came over. Zhao Yaning looked back at him and nodded, “I have been preparing for 20 years, so I am naturally prepared. You should be more serious, you know, your mother is also watching the game. Surprise her, let She was happy.”

“She came to see you, not me.” Zhao Rang muttered.

“Come to see us-let’s go, let’s play. Let this game be our last big stage!”
