Chapter 20 The Good News
Chapter 20 Good News ()
Popovich only learned about this the next day, and he was called directly to the head coach's office by Edvocart.
To be honest, the first-team head coach wants to draw players from the youth team, and the youth training supervisor has no power to refuse. Many youth training supervisors are even happy because this means that his work has been rewarded and recognized.
But Popovich couldn't be happy.
He always feels that it is too early to be transferred to the first team by Chen Yingxiong... The abilities that Chen Yingxiong has shown so far are not good except heading. Is it really okay to go to the first team with such strength?
You should know that the competition for the first team is much more intense than that of the youth team. You not only have to face competition from the first team teammates, but also the competition from the reserve team. If you don’t perform well in a game, you may be thrown into the reserve team. At that time, you are not qualified to come back to participate in the youth team competition...
If he can make the decision, he hopes that Chen Yingxiong can stay in the youth team until the end of this season, and then be transferred to the first team when he turns 19 next year.
Anyway, after nearly a month of training, he could feel that Chen Yingxiong was indeed professionally trained. As he said himself, a Chinese club is a youth team player. However, his training level is not very high. If it is only this level and without his super heading ability, he will not be able to meet Zenit's requirements.
But now the first team head coach is asking for someone, and he can't disagree.
After coming out of Edvocat, Popovich and Porter rushed back to the youth team's training ground together. Porter went to inform Chen Yingxiong to report to the first team.
However, Popovich did not immediately let Chen Yingxiong get off the training ground. He asked Porter to wait on the sidelines for half an hour, and waited until the youth team's training was over before calling Chen Yingxiong alone.
When Chen Yingxiong saw the assistant coach Porter standing next to Popovich, he smiled - he already knew why Popovich called him over.
Seeing him eager to try, Popovich knew that Chen Yingxiong himself also expected to be the first team - this is normal. In this youth team, is there anyone who doesn't want to be able to go to the first team?
"Hero, from tomorrow, you will train with the first team." Popovich saw that Chen Yingxiong had already known it, so he stopped going around and said to her directly.
"I understand, coach!" Chen Yingxiong looked at Porter happily - the assistant coach was like a door. By opening him, a better world unfolded in front of him!
Seeing that Chen Yingxiong was so happy, Popovich felt that he should still give him a piece of advice.
"Your own strengths and weaknesses are very clear, hero. I hope you should try your best to play your strengths when you go to the first team. But you should continue to train hard on the shortcomings. Let me tell you that the first team game, even the reserve team game, is not comparable to the youth team game. Don't be arrogant!"
"No, I'm never arrogant! Ha!" Chen Yingxiong smiled.
Seeing him like this, Popovich knew that he would say it in vain. Forget it, he was only eighteen years old, and there were many things he didn't experience, I'm afraid he would never understand in his life...
He waved.
"You have to do it well in the first team."
"Thank you, coach!"
Chen Yingxiong bowed to Popovich, which surprised Popovich - maybe this kid was not as proud as he was?
At the end of August, the temperature in Chengdu showed no signs of falling. It seemed that the autumn tiger would still be raging for a while. Chen Tao parked the van on the side of the road, got out of the cab, opened the door, and the carriage was filled with various large and small packages, packed in nylon woven bags.
He arrived at the clothes he had entered from Guangzhou, and he had just picked them up at the East Railway Station.
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Chen Tao began to roll up his sleeves to prepare for moving the goods. At this time, his wife Li Yun, who had been guarding the store, also walked out.
Chen Tao handed a smaller package to his wife. Li Yun grabbed it with her hands and walked quickly into the store.
He himself carried a large bag of people and followed.
Chen Tao has been doing business for many years and initially set up a stall on Chunxi Road. At that time, Chunxi Road was not as built like the ones that are now full of towering buildings and shopping malls. The street is full of stalls made of steel wire beds, clothes rails and ropes.
Chen Tao was among them and met his wife in business. At that time, the two stalls were next to each other, they set up stalls together every day, and they did business together. When there was no business, they chatted with each other, helped each other when there was a business... After a long time, they set up relationships. Later, the stalls of the two families formed a family and they officially got married.
You should know that at that time, I had to work hard to make money. My wife was pregnant with a hero and had been busy at the stall with her big belly.
Relying on the money they earned through hard work over the years, the family was relatively rich in Chengdu at that time and lived a very comfortable life. But when the son started to learn how to play football... the money became insufficient.
The expense is huge, but who makes their baby son like to play football? Chen Tao gritted his teeth and wanted to pay for it. As long as his son liked it, it would be fine!
Chen Yingxiong has never lacked money to spend when he was a child. He played with computers earlier than his peers, and he used mobile phones earlier. When other children could only watch Little Ba Wang drool, he was already tired of playing Nintendo's red and white phones.
All of these are the reasons why his parents are working hard to make money outside.
In fact, many of the people who set up stalls together on Chunxi Road later became bigger and bigger, and their assets had long been worth tens of millions. Chen Tao's money over the years has been invested in his son's football career.
So far, they only rented a store at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of Jianshe Road and opened a clothing store, which was specifically designed for college students. The price is not very high, but the style is novel, trendy, and quite popular. Therefore, their family can still live a life.
Now, I finally gave up my son. Although I owe a lot of debts, I feel much more relaxed.
If your son has a promising future, he will be happy as a parent.
When Chen Tao returned from Russia alone, he scared Li Yun so badly - because his son was gone.
Only then did Chen Tao tell his wife the whole story.
Playing football is something my son only knows how to do. Now when he heard that he is playing football in Russia, Li Yun did not disagree. She just thought that she would not see her son for a long time. She felt heartbroken. If she had known that her son would not come for a long time, she would have to stuff a lot of things into her son's luggage bag and let him take it. She was so busy like now, without any preparation.
Chen Yingxiong now calls them once a week. They are very happy to know that their son has performed well in the Zenit Youth Team and has scored goals in two consecutive games.
Chen Tao even believed that his insistence on taking his son out even if he borrowed money was correct.
Chen Tao had just put the goods down when he heard the phone in his pants pocket ringing. He quickly took out his phone and saw that it was his son calling!
"Dad!" Chen Yingxiong was very happy when he heard his father's voice coming from the other side of his phone. He said to his father with unconcealed excitement: "There is good news!"
"Ah?" Dad didn't seem to have reacted yet, "What did you say?"
"I said there is good news!"
"Good news? Have you scored another goal?"
When Li Yun heard that it was her son's call, she stopped and stood beside her husband.
Chen Tao simply turned on his phone in hands-free mode so that his wife could also listen to his son's voice.
"It's not that fast. The game has just ended... I mean, your son, I have been transferred to the first team!"
"First team?" Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, and then realized. "Adult team? Can you play in professional leagues?"
"Of course!"
"Really?!" Chen Tao of course knew what the first team meant.
"Can there be fake?"
"Haha, okay, okay!" Chen Tao laughed - only after his son entered the first team, he was considered a true professional player.
I have been in the youth team before, and I have to worry about whether the first team can look down on my son.
Now that my son has been transferred to the first team, the stone has fallen to the ground.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fuck it well, son!" Mom shouted at her cell phone.
"Mom is here too?" Chen Yingxiong's voice was a little surprised.
"What you said... I'm not by your father's side, which other woman can be with him?"
"Hehe..." Chen Yingxiong smiled foolishly.
At this moment, two customers came in outside the store, and Li Yun didn't have time to say anything, so she went out. Chen Tao picked up his mobile phone, turned off the hands-free, walked out of the store and said to his son: "We have received all the money, hero. I tell you, don't send money to your house. Now the business is good, we can pay back the money soon, you don't have to worry about it. Keep it yourself, don't lose yourself too much..."
"Hey, Dad, when did you see me losing money? Don't worry, the money I left must be enough for me to spend. And I will be transferred to the first team. If I perform well, I can change the contract. I will earn more at that time... What's more than 100,000 yuan? I will pay it back to you in two weeks!"
Chen Yingxiong was not like this before. Chen Tao felt that after going out, his son became more mature, more sensible, and understood his parents. Unlike before, he had been terminated by the team and was locked in the room and played games day and night, and no one listened to him. During those days, he remembered how many tears he had shed as a mother.
"I'll tell you, Dad. When I become famous in the future and make a lot of money, you can close the store! Don't do it. Then, you and my mom are traveling, and you can go wherever you want. Didn't mom always say you want to travel?"
"Ahem, let's talk about it...you'd better play football well. You don't need to worry about our affairs...just that, I'm really busy here...I'm dead."
