Chapter 408 This world is so small
Wang Xianke was very angry.
The Chinese Super League ended last weekend, but his team failed to win the league championship this season.
They ended up finishing second by two points.
Although they won at home in the last round, their championship rivals, the South China Tigers, also won.
There was no change in the score difference between the two sides.
The defending champion failed to successfully defend his title, which is simply unacceptable for Dashun Golden Arrow, which has been leading for almost a season.
After that game, local media in Dashun was filled with criticism of Wang Xianke.
Some people think that his tactics are too rigid. He led the team to win the championship last season, but then did not make any changes. Even the personnel remained the same as last season. However, these players have already won the league championship and lacked motivation for the game, resulting in the team failing to win some difficult games.
A typical example is the game that caused them to lose the first place in the league. They played Hedong Thunder and Lightning away from home. Faced with the Thunder and Lightning's tenacious and ferocious playing style, Dashun Golden Arrow seemed a little unable to cope with it.
Some people think that Wang Xianke puts too much trust in experienced old players, but ignores that the average age of this team is 29.5 years old. This age ranks first among all participating teams in the Chinese Super League and is the oldest team in the Chinese Super League this season.
In sharp contrast, the South China Tigers finally counterattacked them and successfully won the championship. After two seasons of replacement, the current average age of the South China Tigers is 26.53 years old. Although they are not the youngest team in the Chinese Super League, this age guarantees their success in the Super League. At the end of the long season, the team can still have enough physical strength and fewer injuries.
Dashun Golden Arrow has suffered from constant injuries in the team's lineup since the second half of this season, which is one of the main reasons why they were finally caught up by the South China Tigers.
What makes Wang Xianke even more unhappy is that those who criticize him also use Chen Xingyi to make trouble.
Said that the team clearly has excellent young players that they don't need, but they would rather rent them out.
Chen Xingyi performed so well after being loaned to Flash Stars. If he can stay at Golden Arrow, he might be able to contribute in the second half of the season... With his help, the team might be able to successfully defend the title. Woolen cloth?
Wang Xianke thinks this is nonsense, and can't believe that such remarks would come from Dashun TV's own sports commentator...
Isn't the purpose of renting Chen Xingyi just to give him a chance to practice?
His good performance in Flash Star can only prove that his training effect is good, but it does not prove that he will definitely perform well if he stays in Golden Arrow.
Besides, Chen Xingyi performed well in the Chinese League One. What league did Golden Arrow play in?
Chinese Super League!
Can a good performance in the Chinese Super League be enough to play well in the Chinese Super League?
Then look at the performance of the top two players in the Chinese Super League last season this season?
Those media reporters have gone crazy trying to blackmail themselves...
He firmly believes that letting Chen Xingyi go out on loan is the right decision, and Chen Xingyi's performance in Flash Star also proves this.
But he also firmly believes that Chen Xingyi's ability before the loan was definitely not enough to gain a foothold in the Golden Arrow's first team. Even Chen Xingyi is not good enough now.
Otherwise, why didn't Chen Xingyi slap me in the face with any outstanding performance in the first round of the FA Cup final?
But Wang Xianke also knew that he had just lost the league championship and whatever he said was wrong, so he had no way to defend himself.
We can only wait until we finish the second round of the FA Cup final and win the FA Cup championship before venting this bad breath.
The league championship is gone, but the team still has an FA Cup championship to win.
As long as we win the FA Cup this season, it will not be considered a failure.
In the first round, Golden Arrow already won 2-0, leading the total score by two goals. Even if he went to the away game, he was not panic at all.
The players who have lost the league championship will surely pour all their firepower on Flashing Star under his urging.
He wants to vent his inner anger on the players, let them fully feel his anger, and then transfer this anger to Flash Star.
Before the start of the second leg of the FA Cup final, the harder he cursed, the more murderous he believed his players would become after taking the field.
"Husband, husband..."
Wang Xianke was brought back to his senses by his wife's soft call. He turned to look at his wife.
His wife is ten years younger than him, already forty-two years old, but careful maintenance and care have left this woman with no traces of time on her face.
My wife, who was a model back then, is tall and has a radiant face. She looks like she is in her thirties or fifteen years old. With excellent makeup and outfit, her temperament is extremely outstanding. No one would have guessed that this was a woman who had given birth to two children.
"Haohao is asleep?" Wang Xianke asked.
"Well, I just fell asleep." The wife sat down next to him and leaned against her husband gently.
Wang Xianke put his hand around his wife's soft shoulders and squeezed gently.
Although career success is something he is proud of, his beautiful wife and two children are also achievements he cherishes.
His eldest daughter has already gone to college, and his eight-year-old son Haohao is his favorite.
Wang Xianke, who has a successful career and a happy family, is such a winner in life in the eyes of many people.
Although he did not achieve any outstanding results as a professional player...
The turning point in his career began when he retired and became a coach at the age of thirty-three.
Wang Xianke, who had no outstanding talent when playing football, found the job that best suited him after becoming a coach.
Wang Xianke, who became the head coach of Baishan Lin Chun Hongqi at the age of 38, was the youngest head coach of the Chinese top league team in Chinese football at the time - Lin Chun Hongqi, who is now up and down in the Chinese League One, was also a Chinese Super League team back then. Team.
However, Wang Xianke was not mature enough at the time. Under his leadership, Lin Chunhongqi spent two years being relegated from the Super League. He also left Lin Chunhongqi, his hometown team, and went south to pursue his career.
After that, he also served as the head coach of two Chinese Super League teams, with his best result being leading Sichuan Redwater to win the FA Cup championship.
This is the first national championship of his coaching career.
It was precisely by virtue of this championship that he received the favor of another Chinese Super League team, Shanhai Mariners, and became the head coach of this Shanhai Super League team.
He led the team to win the Chinese Super League championship, which was the first Chinese Super League championship since the establishment of Shanhai Mariners and Wang Xianke's first Chinese Super League championship.
Wang Xianke, who has proven himself in two teams in a row, was lured away by Dashun Golden Arrow, which is eager for revival, with a lot of money. He was offered an annual salary of 8 million yuan, making him the highest-paid local coach among the Chinese Super League teams.
And Wang Xianke did not live up to the annual salary given to him by the club. Within two years of leading the team, he led Dashun Golden Arrow to win the Chinese Super League championship, allowing Dashun Football to return to its original position.
His career development has completely hit the highway, and it is said that the Football Association is preparing to investigate him and consider whether to let him replace the current national team coach Marcel Wilson in the future.
Being able to become the coach of the national team can be said to be the ultimate goal of Wang Xianke's career.
He believes that as long as he continues to maintain this momentum, the position of head coach of the Chinese national team will belong to him sooner or later.
"Are you still angry about the league?" his wife asked considerately.
"No." Wang Xianke shook his head and denied it.
"Don't be angry. Speaking of which, I saw an interesting news on the Internet before..." The wife said, taking out her mobile phone and handing it to Wang Xianke, hoping to distract her husband from dwelling on the lost league championship. "Look at the news, it says that you are still related to Hu Lai from Team Flash..."
When Wang Xianke heard what his wife said, he became curious and took the phone.
It is a post in the headlines. It is said to be news, but in fact it is written by self-media. Most of this so-called news is not credible. The title is very eye-catching, but when you click on it, you will find that your life is completely wasted. Save a few precious minutes...
However, in front of his wife, Wang Xianke did not show any impatience. He clicked in his wife's expectant eyes.
"...A few days ago, a netizen on "Goal" exposed the past experience of Hu Lai's father - he was also a professional player. In this way, the editor can immediately understand why Hu Lai, a high school student, became a monk halfway. After only being exposed to football training in his freshman year of high school, he quickly grew into the top scorer of Flashing Stars - it turned out that he was from a noble family
"Some netizens posted photos of Hu Lai's father playing football back then... The third from the right in the second row in the picture is Hu Lai's father Hu Lixin! He was a player for Baishan Tianchi U20 back then..."
Wang Xianke, who originally meant to pretend to read it and perfunctory his wife, shrank his pupils when he saw the name "Hu Lixin".
Then he continued reading very seriously.
"...and we all know that the professional career of Wang Xianke, the head coach of Dashun Golden Arrow, started at Baishan Tianchi... Through this photo of the 1993 National Games, we can roughly guess that Hu Lixin will be five years old this year. Ten years old. And Wang Xianke is fifty-two years old this year. The difference between them is about At two years old, it should be impossible to be teammates in the youth team... So will they be teammates in Baishan Tianchi's first team? This is really fascinating... So the editor went to inquire about Hu Lixin's time in Baishan. Information about Tianchi football, but unfortunately... nothing was found.
"Based on Hu Lixin's age, we can roughly infer that if Hu Lixin wants to play in the first team of Baishan Tianchi, it should be at least after 1994. So the editor went to check 1993, 1994, 1995 and 199 6 In the past four seasons, Hu Lixin’s name was not included in the Baishan Tianchi A-League roster. Coach Wang Xianke, whom we are all familiar with, entered the Baishan Tianchi first-team roster for the first time in 1995...< br>
"The editor later checked back to 1998, and never saw Hu Lixin's name. Baishan Tianchi was disbanded in 2000... From this point of view, Hu Lai's father should have been from Baishan Tianchi He left Baishan Tianchi during the transition from the youth team to the first team, and may have gone to another team, but the workload of this inquiry would be too great. , the editor really doesn’t have this ability... But in short, Hu Lixin has now become a security guard in a community in Dongchuan City, Andong Province. If his son had not become a professional player and had a bright future, maybe the owners of that community would have. You will never know that the security guard who salutes them at the gate every day was once a professional player...
"Now in the FA Cup final, two people who used to be in the same club but didn't know whether they were teammates have been reconnected in this way: Wang Xianke is the head coach of Dashun Golden Arrow, and Hu Lixin's son He became the top scorer of the Flash Stars, and not long ago broke the Chinese League single-season scoring record... This really makes people sigh at the magic of fate..."
"Husband, husband?"
Wang Xianke raised his eyes and looked at his wife.
"Have you finished reading? Is that Hu Lixin really on the same team as you?"
Wang Xianke looked up at the ceiling, frowned and thought seriously: "I can't remember what happened almost thirty years ago. I have forgotten the names of many teammates. Maybe he was there..."
"That's it, but it's quite interesting. I didn't expect you two to have such a connection... This world is so small!" The wife sighed while taking back the phone.
Wang Xianke got up from the sofa.
The wife asked: "Hey, where are you going?"
"Go and continue studying the information on Flashing Star." Wang Xianke said and walked towards the study.
"Oh... don't be too tired, go to bed early."
"Well, don't worry, I'll definitely go to bed before twelve o'clock."
After Wang Xianke finished speaking, he closed the study door.
Then he leaned against the door.
Hu Lixin...
He said the name silently in his mind.
I never thought that one day I would hear from him again, and in this way.
Is that kid your son?
This world is so small...(End of Chapter)
