Xiong Jiahui sat in the seat in the school activity hall, leaning forward and leaning on the edge of the table, looking past his teammates in the front row and towards the figure sitting next to head coach Li Ziqiang, his eyes filled with envy.

The teammates around him also looked at each other with the same eyes.

Li Ziqiang faced the players who did not hide their envious expressions and said to them: "Rong Yi is your senior. I specially invited him to come to the school to share with you his experience in participating in the national team training. I hope you can listen carefully.

It’s a very important lesson.”

The activity hall became quiet.

Rong Yi, who was sitting on the podium, looked up and saw the expectant and focused eyes of the young players.

The first time he sat on the podium to give a lecture to others, he felt nervous.

His mind went blank for a moment.

However, this blank moment only lasted for a very short moment, and he remembered why he agreed to Coach Li to return to his alma mater to teach this lesson to his juniors.

So he took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, his heartbeat slowed down, and then he said in a teasing tone:

"Actually, this class should be taught by Brother Hu, Brother Luo and Brother Xia. But they are very busy now, so I am the only one who takes over the class..."

This statement made many students laugh.

After receiving a positive response, Rong Yi really relaxed and continued: "Coach Li asked me to share with you my experience in participating in the national team training. I do have some experience to share with you, but it is not a successful experience. On the contrary,

It can be said to be a failed experience..."

These words caused a commotion among the students below, who all showed surprised expressions.

Xiong Jiahui couldn't even hold back and said "Huh?" and successfully attracted a lot of attention to himself.

But he didn't care about other people's eyes, but looked straight at Rong Yi, eager to know why his senior said that.

Rong Yi naturally noticed the exaggerated expression of Xiong Jiahui, and he smiled at Xiong Jiahui.

"After the first phase of training for the national team, I returned to the club and back home. Whether it was my teammates at the club or my relatives and friends at home, they warmly welcomed me and comforted me. Said...I

I have accumulated experience and increased my knowledge. This is a very successful experience. They are right, right?"

Some people nodded after hearing this.

"That's what I thought at the beginning. I feel that I have completed the task very well. Ever since I was selected for the 50-man training list, I have never felt that I can participate in the World Cup. I have always had a learning attitude to compete with the country.

I worked with the seniors of the team. So when I found out that I was not selected for the next stage of training, I was actually not very disappointed. There was definitely some disappointment, but not much."

Rong Yi made a gesture that made him lose the Korean market.

Then he shook his head and said: "But this is actually wrong. When I decided to leave the training camp and say goodbye to Brother Huan, Brother Huan criticized me severely. He thought that I did not try my best in this training camp because I never tried my best.

I didn’t think that I could participate in this World Cup from the beginning. Isn’t it normal for a young player, who is participating in the national team training for the first time, to feel that he cannot participate in this World Cup?”

Some of the young players nodded in agreement.

"Brother Huan said that we young players are happy, because even if we cannot participate in the World Cup this time, we will still have the opportunity to participate in four years. The level of Chinese football is developing rapidly, and we no longer seem to worry about whether the national team can participate in the World Cup. But

When Brother Huan was young, the Chinese team had not participated in a World Cup in 60 years. So he said that we were happy. But later I felt that it was not happiness, but comfort. The comfort of 'born in sorrow and dying in comfort'.

"

Rong Yi made a mistake in saying a sentence, but no one cared about these details.

Everyone was attracted by what he said.

Chinese football is obviously in a good situation. More and more of our players are going abroad to study in Europe. Campus football is in full swing. Amateur football, community football, country football... and other grassroots football movements are booming. All things Chinese football are competing.

Vibrant...

Countless people have said countless times that Chinese football has entered a golden age.

Why did Senior Rong Yi say that this was "dying in comfort"?

"Because I knew I would still have the opportunity to participate in the World Cup, so I did not go all out to fight for that spot in this training camp. Not only this World Cup training, I will encounter many things in the future. If I always

Thinking, 'I'm still young anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future', and I may never achieve anything.

"Brother Huan said I was happy, but I said you are happier than me because you are younger than me. You still have countless possibilities in your life and football career. I know that not all of you will embark on the path of professional football.

I don’t know how to make a living through football. But I still want to say that no matter what you do, whether it’s playing football or studying, you must seize the moment, go all out, and never set limits for yourself.

"Brother Huan sent me a message, and I will forward it to you here..."

Having said this, Rong Yi paused for a moment and scanned the entire audience to ensure that everyone was listening carefully to what he said before continuing:

"Youth is your advantage, but don't use it as an excuse."

When the wife saw her husband lying next to the window, pointing his cell phone downward, motionless, she joked: "Are you looking at beautiful women again?"

The husband did not answer her, but laughed.

My wife, who was just joking at first, turned serious when she saw this - could I really be right?!

She immediately put down her cell phone, got up from the sofa, and quietly walked over, intending to "take away the stolen goods."

As a result, when she got close to her husband's face, she saw the picture shaking slightly on the screen of her husband's mobile phone. It was not a beautiful woman, but the Laiqing Football Park downstairs, which was across the street from the community.

To be more specific, it is the open space in front of the three-story building of Laiqing Football Park that integrates the management office, lounge, canteen, shower room, locker room, and restaurant...

A lot of people gathered there, and there were rows of flower baskets placed on both sides of the road.

Dressed in red and colorful, it looks very lively.

"What are you doing?" the wife asked curiously.

Only then did the husband notice that his wife had come to him. He only glanced at her and then turned his attention to the twenty-fold magnified picture on his mobile phone.

Then he gently moved his phone and showed his wife a red banner hanging on the small building.

Thanks to today's technological advancement, small mobile phones, small sensors and small lenses, and through the power of computational photography, can clearly read the words on a banner nearly a hundred meters away. It says

:

“Warmly celebrate the establishment of Anton Quanxing Football Club!”

"Football club? Professional?" My wife became even more curious after seeing it clearly.

"Professional?" The husband laughed, "A professional one is established in the football park downstairs? This is an amateur one. It doesn't even have its own training ground, so it can only rely on renting venues for training and competition."

"Amateur...then what are you happy about?"

The smile on the husband's face continued: "Do you think this place is close?"

The wife felt that her husband was talking nonsense: "Of course it's close. Just go downstairs and cross the street when you leave the community."

"So, it will be convenient for our kids to learn to catch the ball in the future!"

Hearing what her husband said, the wife looked back at her son, who was taking a nap alone in the cradle, and said angrily: "You just...have to think so hard all day long! How big is the baby? Wait until he can catch a ball.

When is it?"

"How long will it take? In three years... two years, when he is almost three years old, he can be sent to play football." When the husband said this, he also looked back at the sleeping child. "

Maybe he’s also the second one to mess around?”

"You think beautifully!"

"Hey, what a wonderful idea! Have you forgotten what he likes to play most? Football!"

"You know?"

The husband smiled even more happily: "My baby! I just know it!"

Yan Yan, who was standing at the door to welcome guests, saw Wu Yue and shouted exaggeratedly: "What are you doing here? To spy on the enemy?"

"Spy with a hammer! We are not in the same area, okay?" Wu Yue angrily said.

"Then who knows? What if our two families play Jincheng Derby in the future?"

"You think too far!" Wu Yue teased his old rival, then looked around at the flower baskets on both sides of the road. Then he said happily as if he had discovered a new world:

"Oh! Why haven't I seen the names of your national players on this big day? Let me tell you, when our Jin Qilin Club was established a few days ago, Team Wang and Xiao Qi specially asked someone to send flower baskets! Can't you do this?

We don’t even have a flower basket... If you had told me earlier, you would have asked me earlier, and I will help you find the Wang team and they will ask for a few flower baskets to put on a show for you! What relationship do we have, why are you so polite?"

Looking at Wu Yue's triumphant face, Yan Yan smiled slightly: "Haha."

The hall on the first floor, which was originally used for golfers to rest and dine, was renovated and filled with people.

The large screen on the wall, which was originally used to show football match videos, was playing a promotional video for Andong Quanxing Club.

The main content is some past activity videos and photos of the Dongchuan Middle School Football Team Jincheng Branch, the predecessor of Andong Quanxing Club, introducing the history of this newly established club to neighbors and other guests.

After all, if they want to gain a foothold here, they must win the support of the residents here.

They don't have extensive local connections like Jin Qilin, where Wu Yue is located - Jin Qilin is organized by alumni of Jiaxiang, a famous local school in Jincheng. The members of the Andong Quanxing Club are basically all from outside Jincheng.

The "Jin Piao" who work and study.

In order to attract local people, in addition to introducing the origins of his club, he also had to raise a few banners.
