Chapter 467 Foreign Aid
Morikawa Junpei looked at the red jersey spread out on the bed.
The back of the jersey is facing up, and the "HU" above the eye-catching Arabic numeral number "14" is the surname of the owner of this jersey.
This is the jersey that Hu Lai specially found for him after the game yesterday.
Yes, it was Hu Lai who took the initiative to exchange jerseys with him again.
At that time, he was in the great pain of losing the final, and he had no thoughts at all. He had long forgotten all the heroic words he had buried in his heart before the game.
At this moment, Hu Lai suddenly appeared in front of him, holding the jersey that had been taken off and handed it to him.
Then said to him in fluent Japanese: "Come, exchange jerseys."
Morikawa Junpei didn't know what his expression should be at that time. He only remembered that he was stunned for several seconds without responding, until Hu Lai smiled and said: "What are you doing? Do you want me to personally take off your clothes?" ?Hurry up!”
He hurriedly lowered his head and took off his clothes, completing the jersey exchange ceremony.
Then Hu Lai patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "I think you should still play as a central defender. It's a pity that I can't compete with you directly!"
Morikawa Junpei was moved by the patronage. Before he could answer Hu Lai, the latter turned around and walked away.
Thinking about it now, he knew that Hulesan must be using this joking way to encourage him to keep working hard, rather than really wanting him to play as a central defender. Because he must know better than himself that he is actually not suitable to play as a central defender.
Although he once again became a loser, Hulesan was still so gentle and kind, and did not forget to encourage himself...
"Let's go, Morikawa." Sugiyama Tatsuya's voice sounded at the door. "You haven't packed your luggage yet..."
As soon as Tatsuya Sugiyama came in, he saw Junpei Morikawa staring blankly at the red jersey on the bed.
"It's all packed, Sugiyama-kun. There is only this one piece of clothing. I want to take a look at it again." After finishing speaking, Morikawa Junpei began to fold the clothes. He did not put them in the suitcase he wanted to check in, but put them in his carry-on backpack. .
Tatsuya Sugiyama saw him carefully folding the jersey given to him by Hu Lai. He couldn't help but sighed: "Don't be discouraged, Morikawa. You have proven in this U23 Asian Cup that you can become an excellent player." Midfielder. Hu Lai will definitely become the main player of the Chinese national team in the future. We still have a chance to defeat them in the national team competition. "
"I'm not discouraged, Sugiyama-kun." Junpei Morikawa shook his head. "Although losing the championship did make me depressed. But after seeing this jersey, I have calmed down and know which path I should take."< br>
When Tatsuya Sugiyama heard what he said, he smiled: "As long as you know what to do. I don't think Hu Lai would have thought that the jersey he gave you could have such an effect, right?"
"No, Sugiyama-kun. Hulesan knew it very well, but he didn't care. I have studied Hulesan's past and know that he was once ridiculed and looked down upon by others. He only started to receive formal football training at the age of sixteen. He It must be because I was once in the quagmire that I have such a kind and gentle heart and is so kind to me, because I am just like him, we were once as humble as dust!”
When Tatsuya Sugiyama saw that Morikawa Junpei's chuunibyou had relapsed, he had no choice but to turn around and leave: "Hurry up, everyone is gathering downstairs..."
Behind him, Junpei Morikawa put on his backpack, but did not rush out. Instead, he glanced at the sky in Jingyang outside the window.
He secretly swore in his heart:
I will come back to you. At that time, I will no longer wait for you to give me a jersey. I will exchange jerseys with you openly, Hulesan!

"Damn it, Old Zhao, there's bad news..." When Dong Wen walked into Zhao Kangming's office in a hurry, his voice came half a sentence before anyone arrived.
Zhao Kangming raised his hand and interrupted his next words: "Old Dong, let me make a suggestion. Next time you curse, can you not use my name after it? If I weren't familiar with you, I would really I thought you were calling me a bitch..."
Dong Wen laughed when he heard this: "Sorry, sorry, I'm so angry. I won't do it again!"
"What's wrong?"
"You also know that we have been talking to Liu Zheng, the sailor of the mountains and seas, for almost a month, right?"
"The talks broke down again?"
"We're not talking about it at all this time! The Mariners said they won't sell Liu Zheng... Do you think it's annoying or not? You should have said it if you didn't sell it! We wasted a month here and delayed other transfers. Signing, now you tell me not to sell, I have to start from scratch, damn it..." Dong Wen seemed to be really angry, and he even spoke without regard for his image, and used one curse word after another.
Zhao Kangming stood up, poured a glass of water for Dong Wen, and handed it to the latter: "Do you think we paid too little?"
"Damn it, Liu Zheng is not the main force in their place. He asked me for 20 million... I'm crazy to give him so much money! But money is a trivial matter... In fact, everyone has talked about it before. Let's take care of it here. Shi Junde was sold, and now they tell me that Liu Zheng won’t sell it... If I had told him earlier, I would have kept Shi Junde for a while!" Dong Wen filled the disposable paper cup in one breath! He drank up the water, then looked up at Zhao Kangming: "Old Zhao, I came to you this time just to ask, do you have any other candidates for the position of midfielder? We don't have much time left. . Although the game only starts in March, I can’t bring him to you until the end of February, right? How can you still have time to integrate him into the team?”
Zhao Kangming's words to Dong Wen were particularly helpful. A club manager can take the initiative to listen to his opinions on signings and can also take into account the team's preparation cycle. No wonder they were able to win the top spot in the Chinese League One last season. What about a good manager?
He said to Dong Wen: "You really came to ask the right question, old Dong. I do have an ideal candidate here recently, but I don't know if you can handle it."
"What you said, Old Zhao, there is something I can't handle..." Dong Wen was about to pat his chest and make bold words when he thought of the transfer deal he had just failed to negotiate for Liu Zheng.
So he put his hand gently on his heart with some embarrassment.
Zhao Kangming didn't care about Dong Wen's slight embarrassment. He continued: "It's really not easy to handle. You have to put more thought into it, old Dong. He is a foreign aid."
"Foreign midfielder?" Dong Wen asked in surprise.
"Well, there are only a few good defensive midfielders in the country, and they are all the treasures of their respective teams. How can they let them go? We don't like the ones they can let go. You also know that in the new tactics, a defensive midfielder is The waist is very important... Since we don’t have one at home, we will look abroad. Anyway, with Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi here, we can save the number of foreign players on the front line.”
"Foreign midfielder...it's not impossible, who exactly is it?" Dong Wen asked after pondering for a while.
"Junpei Morikawa."
Hearing the name Zhao Kangming said, Dong Wen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "Japanese players!"
"Yes, this is the one from the Japanese Olympic team who completely targeted our Olympic team's midfielder Guo Junfu."
"Well...it seems that very few Japanese players come to play in our Chinese Super League, right?"
"It's true, but it has nothing to do with Morikawa Junpei. I think you can give it a try. After all, he himself can be regarded as Hu Lai's little fan. Maybe you can attract him?" Zhao Kangming explained.
Dong Wen frowned and thought for a while, then stood up from the chair: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
After saying that, he turned around and left Zhao Kangming's office.
But just after he went out, he turned back, patted his forehead and said to Zhao Kangming: "Look at my memory... there is one more thing... Hu Lai and the others will be back tomorrow, and our club has organized a small We have invited some media reporters and relevant provincial and municipal leaders to the welcome ceremony. You must attend when the time comes.”
Zhao Kangming nodded: "No problem, I will go even if you don't tell me."
"Oh, these guys are so awesome! They qualified for the Olympics, defeated Japan, and won the U23 Asian Cup... I really regret it every day now. Why didn't I just sign a one-year loan with Golden Arrow? Direct buyout contract..."
Zhao Kangming said with a smile: "There is no regret in this. It is absolutely impossible for Golden Arrow to let Chen Xingyi go. After all, he is not the same Zhang Qinghuan as before. To say regret, I am afraid that Xue Chaoyu of Golden Arrow will regret it now... …They don’t want to loan Chen Xingyi to us for another year at all.”
Speaking of this, Dong Wen also laughed: "That's right, I asked why Xue Chaoyu didn't answer my calls recently..."
"You still dare to call him?" Zhao Kangming didn't expect that the fat man Dong Wen could be so thick-skinned.
"Businesses are not about favors. If they don't sell us Chen Xingyi, we can still keep in touch. If one day they figure it out and want to sell Chen Xingyi, can't we just get close to him?" Dong Wen waved his hand.
Zhao Kangming laughed helplessly, then shook his head: "You... aren't you afraid of offending Golden Arrow?"
Dong Wen snorted: "What am I afraid of? Hu Lai is not afraid, so what am I afraid of? He said all the harsh words, saying that he would see the Golden Arrow once in the Super League and beat him once..."
"They said they beat Wang Xianke every time they saw him." Zhao Kangming corrected him.
"Then isn't Wang Xianke still the head coach of Golden Arrow? If we beat Wang Xianke, wouldn't we be beating Golden Arrow?"
Dong Wen's rhetorical question left Zhao Kangming speechless.
After that incident, everyone speculated that Wang Xianke might be fired by Dashun Golden Arrow.
As it turned out, it was almost February, and there was still one month before the start of the new Chinese Super League season. Wang Xianke was still leading Dashun Golden Arrow to prepare for the new season, and there was no hint of instability in the coaching position.
The Dashun Golden Arrow Club did not answer questions from the media about this matter.
They did not mention the grudge between Wang Xianke and Hu Lai, but they did not make any statement on Wang Xianke's future in the club.
There are only some rumors that the contract renewal negotiations between Wang Xianke and Dashun Golden Arrow collapsed, and the two parties did not engage in any further contract renewal negotiations. Wang Xianke might leave Golden Arrow after his last year coaching Dashun Golden Arrow.
However, this rumor has not received any response from either party.
But no matter what, since Wang Xianke is still the head coach of Dashun Golden Arrow, Hu Lai will naturally regard Dashun Golden Arrow as his opponent.
Zhao Kangming thought of his old club Poseidon again.
Although he has let go of those grudges in his heart, he believes that when Flash Star meets Poseidon, the stories before and after the FA Cup last season will be dug up by the media.
He will definitely be one of the parties involved...
Zhao Kangming felt a headache when he thought of this.
It's obviously my first time playing in the Chinese Super League, but why do I feel like there are sworn enemies everywhere?
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing that I think I should tell you, Lao Zhao."
Just when Zhao Kangming felt a headache, he heard Dong Wen's voice and raised his hand to pinch his temples: "What's the matter?"
"Just yesterday, the club received an offer from a foreign club for Hu Lai. I didn't tell you at the time, so I rejected it directly... I think the result would be the same if I told you. You would definitely not agree to sell Hu Lai... …”
Zhao Kangming stopped pinching his temples: "Wait a minute, a foreign club?"
"Well, it's called Hammond Castle... I checked and it's a British Championship team."
"England's second-tier league team? How could they be interested in Hu Lai?" Zhao Kangming was surprised. In the transfer window before this season, he knew that Hu Lai was being targeted by many teams, but they were all from the Chinese Super League. The team's attention.
Hammond Castle is not only the first foreign team to make an offer for Hulay, but it is also a member of the five major leagues...
Has that kid's influence grown to this extent?
Thinking of this, he asked Dong Wen: "How much does Hammond Castle quote?"
"Hey, speaking of this... This British guy really doesn't know the market. He wants to buy our top scorer for half a million pounds. Is Hu Lai worth that little money? It's not even five million yuan..." Dong Wen gets angry when he talks about this.
