Chapter 237 If you don’t come in early, you won’t come in late
Fang Xinjie's agent received a call from Flash Star general manager Dong Wen on Monday. Dong Wen told him that after the club's research, it decided not to accept his proposed annual salary of 2.6 million, and hoped that Fang Xinjie could accept it. Based on the previous condition of an annual salary of 1.5 million, we can continue to negotiate based on this.
Although he didn't say anything to death, Fang Xinjie's agent was not a fool. He could sense the tough attitude of the Flash Star Club.
All I had to do was tell him directly, "On this condition, do you like it or not? If you accept it, we will sign the contract. If you don't accept it, get out."
This confused Fang Xinjie's agent and didn't understand how things suddenly developed to this point...
Last week, although the Flash Star Club did not agree to the annual salary conditions proposed by them, their attitude was not so tough.
Is this what happened?
The agent thought of this and decided to search first to find out what happened to Flash Star recently.
This search led him to see a name.
Hu Lai.
This name almost always appears in the news about Flashing Star.
He made two substitute appearances and scored a total of three goals. Especially in the last round of the league, he scored a goal just after coming on as a substitute. In the end, he scored twice to help the Stars defeat Youjiang Honglian 3:0.
After a little research, the agent understood where the Flash Star Club's tough attitude came from.
It turns out that a young striker has emerged... thinking that a talented newcomer can solve the problem of goal shortage, so the opponent Xinjie is not so urgent and can pay back the money?
That's ridiculous!
How can a professional football newcomer who has never proven himself before be compared with the experienced forward Fang Xinjie?
He only made two appearances as a substitute and scored three goals, but he was able to make everyone at the Flash Star Club dizzy?
How big of a deal does he take it?
After figuring out the whole story, the agent was not in a hurry, because Flashing Star's wishful thinking was destined to be in vain.
He sneered and looked at Dong Wen's name in the address book on his mobile phone. It seemed that he could already imagine how the other party would come to him in a low voice and beg him to persuade Fang Xinjie to sign...
The only trouble was that he had to call Fang Xinjie again to convince him to wait patiently for a while.
Thinking of Fang Xinjie's quick temper, the manager's brows couldn't be relieved.
He felt that dealing with Dong Wen was not as difficult as dealing with Fang Xinjie...

A week later, in the 21st round of the Chinese League One, Anton Shining Star challenged Capital Athletic away from home, and Hu Lai finally appeared in the starting lineup.
This made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
When a player performs well and scores goals in two consecutive rounds, if he is still not selected for the starting lineup, there is no excuse for any reason.
If such a person cannot be included in the starting lineup, it must be the head coach's fault.
Fortunately, Hu Lai finally started.
First career start.
But this time he failed to score in the game.
Flash Star also lost to Capital Athletic 0:1 away from home.
The league ranking slipped from 11th place in the previous round to 12th place.
On the flight back to Jincheng from the capital, Chen Jianyu wrote a comment overnight. It seemed to be defending the team's loss, but in fact he was defending Hu Lai, who started but did not score.
He believes that Hu Lai has performed normally to his level, but he wants to remind fans and readers that football matches are not decided by any one player. After all, it is a team sport. If the whole team performs poorly, just one person cannot change the outcome of the game. Not to mention that Hu Lai is not the kind of player who can dribble the ball into Longtan alone and solve the battle by himself.
Chen Jianyu called on everyone to keep a calm mind while cheering for Hu Lai's first three goals. Hu Lai is not an omnipotent god. He is just a talented young player. When he performs well, of course There will be times when Hu Lai's performance is mediocre or even poor. Whether it is this game or in future games, if Hu Lai's performance is unsatisfactory, when everyone scolds him, they must first think about who they were in the first place. How do you praise him? Don't do things that would slap yourself in the face.
In order to reduce the pressure on young players, Chen Jianyu has taken great pains...
And we can’t say that his worries are unfounded.
After this game, there was indeed some criticism against Hu Lai on the Internet.
Some people think that he drifted away after scoring goals in two consecutive games.
Others believe that he has finally shown his true colors, and that his outstanding performance in the first two games is just a super-level performance due to his overwhelming luck, which cannot explain any problems. On the contrary, it is the performance of this game that best reflects Hu Lai's true level - do you think it is strange for these people that Hu Lai has played a total of three games now, and the two games that accounted for more of his outstanding performance cannot be To prove Hu Lai’s true level, a relatively small game with mediocre performance and no goals can define Hu Lai’s level...
That's why Chen Jianyu had to write such an article. Based on his understanding of Chinese football, Chinese fans, and Chinese media, he knew that this kind of thing would definitely happen.
Even praising after winning and scolding after losing is a very common phenomenon in competitive sports. It's just that in Chinese football, this phenomenon is particularly extreme.
Chen Jianyu’s doing this is not a plan for a rainy day...

"Xinjie, look!" The manager handed the phone to Fang Xinjie, who was sitting next to him, with a proud tone in his voice: "Look what I said? I just said this kid won't last long!"
< br>
Fang Xinjie took the phone and saw a piece of news:
“…Anton Shining Star lost to Capital Athletic 0:1 in an away game. The talented young man Hu Lai, who had scored in two consecutive games, started in this game, but failed to score for the team… ”
"Heh." Fang Xinjie smiled.
"That's why I keep saying to be patient. As long as you remain patient, the initiative is on our side." The agent was beside him, repeating the words that Fang Xinjie had already heard ringing in his ears.
Fang Xinjie handed the phone to his agent: "Okay, okay, I will wait patiently for your good news..."
"Hey, actually we can't wait too long." The agent said confidently, "In the middle of next week, aren't you Green Forest going to play against the Stars away from home? I just happened to go to Jincheng with you, and I'll wait for the game to be over. , I will go directly to Dong Wen, and you don’t have to rush back with the team, we will sign the contract in Jincheng.”
"Very good." Fang Xinjie thought for a moment and nodded. "After signing the contract, you come back to check it in and transport my car to Jincheng on a pallet truck. I won't come back now and will stay in Jincheng to adapt."
"No problem." The agent agreed and suggested: "You can look at the house there first. I heard that the training base of Flash Star is in Liucheng District, which is far away from the main city. Look, you are looking for a house in Liucheng District. Still in the city..."
"Isn't it more lively in the city?"
"But there are often traffic jams in Jincheng. I'm worried that you live in the city and it's inconvenient to go to training..."
"The congestion in Yujiang is getting worse. Didn't I delay training?" Fang Xinjie curled his lips and didn't care. "When you transfer to a new place, you have to actively integrate into the local area to adapt as quickly as possible. Find a lively place to live and quickly integrate into local life. Then you can perform better in both training and competition..."< br>
"That's right..." the manager said this, but in his heart he was thinking that you just like the colorful nightlife in Jincheng... Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?
The two of them discussed and planned Fang Xinjie's future life in Jincheng, and it seemed that the transfer to Flash Star was already a certainty.
※※※
Fang Xinjie was sitting on the visiting team's bench, surrounded by his teammates who were holding their heads.
All around were the cheers of fans of the home team Flash Stars.
He seemed to be in the crater of an erupting volcano, and the ground beneath his feet was shaking.
He played here on behalf of Xiaojiang Green Forest last season, and he never saw this stadium being so crazy.
Of course, that might be because Flash Star lost the game at that time.
Today, at this moment, the score on the big screen in the distance has just been refreshed.
The home team Anton Shining Star led Xiaojiang Lulin 2:1.
He turned his attention to the corner flag area of the Xiaojiang Green Forest half. There was a figure leaping high, turning 180 degrees in the air and landing, with his legs firmly planted on the turf, and the number on his back and The last name was on display for all to see.
Hu Lai!
He had just scored the go-ahead goal from Anton Shining Star.
Doesn’t it mean that this kid’s scoring momentum won’t last long?
After this thought came to his mind, he couldn't help but look back at the stands behind him.
※※※
Fang Xinjie's agent was standing in front of the VIP seats at this moment, staring blankly at Hu Lai on the court.
As an agent, you still have a certain perspective when it comes to looking at people, right?
He really felt that this young man named Hu Lai was unsustainable and could not keep scoring goals - how could this be true in the world? A young and inexperienced player scores consecutive goals as soon as he appears on the professional field? Do you really think that the professional league is a joke? !
Didn’t he score a goal in the last game?
But why...are you so good at scoring goals?
He even had an idea: If you don't come in early, you won't come in late, but you chose this time to come in. Is this guy deliberately going against me?
Even he knew that this kind of thinking was ridiculous. The opponent couldn't possibly score a goal and had to choose the right time.
It’s just...the timing of this goal was really bad!
Before the game started, he had contacted Manager Dong, hoping to finalize the contract after the game.
Dong Wen did not give him a clear answer, but said that he would talk about it after the game.
He was very confident in his judgment at that time, so he did not push Dong Wen anymore, but agreed.
But looking at it now, Dong Wen may be waiting to see Hu Lai's performance in the game before making a decision...
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the rostrum.
There, sitting Dong Wen, general manager of Flash Star Club.
※※※
When the team took the lead, Dong Wen stood up from his seat and applauded the audience.
At this moment, he seemed to have something in his mind and looked back to the box on his right rear.
But he quickly retracted his gaze and continued to look at Hu Lai, who was celebrating the goal in the field, with a smile on his face. (End of chapter)
