Chapter 265: Put yourself to death and survive
Zhao Kangming discussed with Chen Mo in his office how the team would adjust next if Zhang Qinghuan was reimbursed for the season.
Then I heard a knock on the door from outside.
"Come in."
After the door was pushed open, the two people in the room were a little surprised: "Hu Lai, what are you doing here?"
It was Hu Lai who pushed the door open.
Hu Lai put on a smile and said: "Director Zhao, Director Chen, I want to know how Zhang Qinghuan's injury... is going?"
His words surprised both coaches, and they looked at each other.
Zhao Kangming said: “We don’t know the result yet.”
Hu Lai was a little disappointed.
Chen Mo asked curiously: "Why are you so concerned about Zhang Qinghuan's injury, Hu Lai?"
Hu Lai scratched his head: "Didn't you tell him to persuade him to turn back?"
Both coaches were surprised: "You really want to..."
Hu Lai nodded: "Yes, I really want to save him."
Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Zhao Kangming's cell phone rang, and he picked it up: "Hello, Dr. Yang? Yes, what do you say? Zhang Qinghuan..."
Hu Lai, who was still standing in the office, heard Director Zhao mention the name "Zhang Qinghuan" and immediately pricked up his ears. He even took a few steps forward, hoping to eavesdrop on the phone call.
Zhao Kangming was concentrating on the phone and didn't see it. Chen Mo glanced at Hu Lai and noticed his little movement.
The phone calls are still going on over there.
"Oh, is that so? That's good, that's good..." Zhao Kangming was obviously relieved when he spoke.
Chen Mo and Hu Lai both stared at him. Judging from his expression and tone, it seemed that it should be good news?
"Okay, thank you Dr. Yang, sorry to trouble you, okay, bye, keep in touch."
When Zhao Kangming hung up the phone, he saw two pairs of bright eyes staring at him.
Seeing that both Chen Mo and Hu Lai care so much about Zhang Qinghuan, especially Hu Lai, this matter is actually not his business at all. It seems that the relationship between him and Zhang Qinghuan is not very good...
So he smiled at the two of them and said: "Doctor Yang said on the phone that Zhang Qinghuan's test results came out and the ligaments were not torn."
Hearing what he said, Chen Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, but Hu Lai was still staring at Director Zhao.
"But it also takes fifteen days of rest before returning to the court."
He couldn't play two games in fifteen days, but Chen Mo still nodded with satisfaction: "This is already a very good result. After seeing his performance in the game yesterday, I finally feel a little hopeful."
"Well, actually this injury is related to his lack of high-intensity training before. Otherwise, he could have avoided it in time, but his body reaction was still a little slow." Zhao Kangming nodded.
"Old Zhao, Zhang Qinghuan has actually been training seriously for a month before this. Although one month cannot make up for the three years he missed, it is still a good trend. I think we can ask the club to reconsider its decision on him. That’s it. This prodigal son is finally coming back, right?”
Chen Mo asked Zhao Kangming, but suddenly a young voice beside him said: "That's wrong."
Only then did Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo realize that Hu Lai was still in the office... and it was Hu Lai who spoke out against the assistant coach.
"What's wrong?" Chen Mo stared.
Of course Hu Lai couldn't say that because he hadn't received a prompt from the system to complete the task, so it was obvious that Zhang Qinghuan had not truly turned back.
Faced with the assistant coach's question, he could only say: "Coach Chen, how can it be so easy to turn back the prodigal? Otherwise, that guy Zhang Qinghuan would have turned back eight lifetimes ago... Wasn't he honest after his first drunk driving? For a while? What happened next? So it’s too early to say that he turned back.”
Chen Mo reflexively wanted to refute the kid in front of him, but he immediately realized that Hu Lai was right.
Zhao Kangming beside him also nodded slightly, and then suddenly asked: "Then what do you think is the true prodigal son's return? I also know that the performance in a short period of time is not convincing. But now there are only two months left before the end of the season. Months' time, in other words, we only have two months to examine him, and then we have to decide whether to buy him out. Two months is not a short time, but it is not a long time, so he has two months. Is Li’s performance considered a prodigal son’s return?”
Chen Mo glanced at his old partner in surprise. He actually asked Hu Lai this question seriously. Was he asking Hu Lai for help, or was he testing him in school?
Hu Lai didn't expect that the head coach would ask him seriously. He realized that Director Zhao was not joking with him, so he thought deeply.
He actually didn't care whether Zhang Qinghuan's performance in the past two months was considered a prodigal son's return. It was not his purpose to judge this matter. His purpose is to make Zhang Qinghuan the prodigal son turn back - as long as I let him turn back the prodigal son, won't it definitely be the prodigal son turning back? Judgment criteria? Of course the system has the final say!
But how can we make him turn back?
Now that he is injured, will it have any impact on his mood?
What on earth was he thinking while lying in the hospital bed?
Will you regret your indulgence?
Will you be unwilling to do so?
At this time, he suddenly thought of what Mr. Qin Lin said to him before. He said this about Zhang Qinghuan:
"Zhang Qinghuan used to be very confident, but not arrogant. Now Zhang Qinghuan is very arrogant, but no longer confident."
How can a person who is no longer confident be proud? Why are you so proud?
It can only be a bluff, just superficial, right?
This kind of pride is more like a disguise... Pretending that you are still very powerful, pretending that you are still the super genius...
He could only rely on this false pride to hold on in front of everyone.
What if all his pride is shattered?
After this idea popped into Hu Lai's mind, he couldn't suppress it. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.
But how to break his pride?
Hu Lai thought again of the fallen geniuses he had seen in that time and space.
None of them were shocked when they were born, and everyone firmly believed that they would have a bright future. As a result, due to various reasons, he disappeared from everyone and was never heard from again.
When I heard their names again, I either heard that they had retired, or they were in some social news.
It's very sad.
For example, there is a Chinese player who was the first Chinese player to join a giant European team, and his transfer fee also set a record. Everyone was optimistic about his future in a wealthy club, but until he retired, he failed to realize his talent.
In the second half of his career, for most of the time, he became synonymous with the phenomenon of "injuring Zhongyong" in Chinese football. He was ridiculed and insulted by countless people, and everyone used those tricks in different ways. There is no joke to tease him.
A man who was once a hero in the eyes of Chinese fans and a star of hope who had high hopes has turned into a joke and a clown in the eyes of everyone. The only reason for his existence seems to be to let public opinion vent their dissatisfaction with Chinese football.
Especially when this super genius was reduced to the point where he couldn't even play for the Chinese League One team. He also ran to participate in a plastic surgery variety show, with a stiff smile on his face that he didn't know whether it was caused by micro plastic surgery or nervousness. People are judged like monkeys in a zoo, watched by a national audience.
At this time, the Chinese fans who had placed high hopes on him didn't even know whether to feel sad or funny.
This super genius finally announced his retirement just ten days before he turned thirty-one. I wonder how much relief and unwillingness he felt at that time?
※※※
When Chen Mo was getting a little impatient, Hu Lai raised his head. He looked at Zhao Kangming and said, "I don't know what kind of performance in two months would be considered a return of the prodigal son, but we can make him truly The prodigal son returns.”
Zhao Kangming smiled and asked: "How can we make his real prodigal son come back?"
"Director Zhao, does Zhang Qinghuan know the result of his diagnosis?" Hu Lai did not answer, but asked a question.
"Not yet. Dr. Yang must obtain the club's consent before he can tell the player the specific injury." Zhao Kangming shook his head in response to Hu Lai's question.
"Then tell Zhang Qinghuan that he was injured too badly. Not only will he be reimbursed for this season, but he will be reimbursed for all subsequent professional seasons!"
This time Zhao Kangming had a shocked expression on his face, and Chen Mo next to him even exclaimed: "Are you kidding, Hu Lai!"
"I'm not kidding, Director Chen. People like Zhang Qinghuan have always thought highly of themselves and were too proud. Before, so many people told him the pros and cons, and they were moved by emotion and reason, but he didn't even listen, because He always felt that with his talent, as long as he was a little more serious, he would be able to play well and make everyone cheer and praise him. Football - his previous experience seems to prove this, so it doesn't matter if he indulges now, he is still young and has plenty of time and opportunities... But what if he knows that his career is over? The idea in Len's mind was mature, so he said it loudly and firmly.
When Chen Mo heard what he said, he also fell into thinking.
Hu Lai continued: "Isn't it said that 'when a person is about to die, his words are also good'? We can't let Zhang Qinghuan die, but for professional players, retirement is also death in a sense. If we let him know He is about to retire, can he crush the false pride in his heart and make him truly reflect? Can his indulgence in the past few years change his mentality? After all, who would have thought that a talented player would retire before he was twenty-three years old? Zhang Qinghuan would never have thought of this. Under such a huge change in life, will he risk his life and survive? ”
Zhao Kangming was the first to recover from the shock. After hearing Hu Lai's words, he laughed: "It's interesting. But how can you guarantee that if you scare him with retirement, he will change his ways? Or, you can just Aren’t you worried that he will be so shocked by this news that he will give up on himself and be completely broken?”
In front of Zhao Kangming, Hu Lai was very relaxed. He shrugged and told the truth: "I don't know if he can really change his ways. But this is the only way I can think of. If he really wants to break the pot, Damn it, that's his own choice. If you tell him about retirement then you will be lying to him, but the club will definitely not. You will buy him out again, and he can go wherever he likes. From now on, he will have nothing to do with the Flash Star Club. You have also saved the transfer fee, right? But if he can really get rid of the excitement of retirement? Wouldn’t the club gain a new life? No matter what, the club has nothing to lose, so why not give it a try?”
After speaking, Hu Lai looked at Zhao Kangming and stopped talking.
At the same time, what he was thinking in his heart was that if it really failed, his loss would be nothing more than not getting the mission reward. But before I didn’t have any [Lingxi Card], didn’t I end up here today? So if you can't get the mission reward, you can't get the mission reward. He just lost something that he didn't have in the first place. In fact, he lost nothing.
If Zhang Qinghuan is determined to seek death, then let him rot in the mud. Anyway, there is no shortage of shooting stars like him in Chinese football.
I am not the Virgin, I have to sacrifice myself to save others...
After Hu Lai finished speaking, the office fell into silence. Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo both said nothing, lowering their heads in thought.
At this moment, the door to the head coach's office was suddenly pushed open, and general manager Dong Wen squeezed in.
He seemed to want to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he saw Hu Lai standing in the room.
He didn't expect to see players in the head coach's office before the team trained, and he was stunned for a moment.
Dong Wen doesn't hate this young man. After all, he has solved big problems for the team, scored so many goals, and is a local player with the aura of his own household registration. Dong Wen will not give Hu Lai anything at this time in this place. Look at it with a face.
Although he was worried, he still smiled and said hello to Hu Lai: "It's Hu Lai."
"Hello, Manager Dong." Hu Lai returned the greeting politely.
Dong Wen nodded and stopped looking at him. Instead, he turned his attention to Zhao Kangming and said straight to the point: "I just received a call from Lao Yang. Did he tell you?"
Chen Mo nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Zhao Kangming stepped in front of him and said with a frown: "I told you, he said that Zhang Qinghuan is seriously injured and may have to retire early..."
Dong Wen:? ? ?
Chen Mo glanced at Lao Zhao.
Zhao Kangming looked at Hu Lai: "You go back first and prepare for training. You don't need to say a word of what you heard here today to others, not even your roommate."
When Hu Lai heard Director Zhao's words, he knew that Director Zhao had already made a decision and planned to adopt his own plan.
So he covered his mouth with his hand: "Don't worry, Director Zhao, I didn't hear anything!"
After saying goodbye to Dong Wen and Chen Mo respectively, he rushed out of the office, closing the door completely before leaving to ensure that the voices of the three people inside would not be heard by outsiders.
Turning to look at Hu Lai and closing the door, Dong Wen asked the question in his mind: "What's going on, Lao Zhao? Didn't you say there's no big problem? Just ten days and a half of training will be enough..."
Zhao Kangming looked at him and asked: "Manager Dong, I would like to ask, a Zhang Qinghuan who can return to his previous level... no, return to 80% of his previous level. Just like in yesterday's game, he might Breakthroughs are no longer good, and his explosive power has declined, but he still has excellent football awareness and ball feel, and his imaginative passing is still there. He can perform better with good practice... Zhang Qinghuan like that, the club is still willing to get him ”
Dong Wen opened his mouth slightly and looked at Zhao Kangming with a confused expression. (End of chapter)
