Fox in the Penalty Area

Zhao Kangming discussed with Chen Mo in his office how the team would adjust if Zhang Qinghuan was reimbursed for the season.

There was a knock on the door 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 and entered.

Hu Lai smiled and said: "Director Zhao, Director Chen, I want to inquire about Zhang Qinghuan's injury...how is it?"

His words surprised the two coaches, and they looked at each other.

Zhao Kangming said, "I 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 say you wanted to persuade him to turn back?"

Both coaches were taken aback: "Are you really going 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, Doctor Yang? Yes, how do you say it? Zhang Qinghuan..."

Hu Lai, who was standing in the office and hadn't left yet, heard Director Zhao say the name "Zhang Qinghuan", and immediately pricked up his ears. He even moved a few steps forward, trying to eavesdrop on the phone call.

Zhao Kangming was concentrating on making a phone call and didn't see it. However, Chen Mo cast a glance at Hu Lai and noticed his small movements.

The phone calls are still going on.

"Oh, is that so? That's good, that's good..." Zhao Kangming was obviously relieved when he spoke.

Both Chen Mo and Hu Lai were staring at him. Judging from his expression and tone, it seemed to be good news?

"Okay, thank you Dr. Yang, sorry for your trouble, okay, goodbye, keep in touch."

When Zhao Kangming hung up the phone,

He saw two pairs of piercing eyes staring at him.

Seeing that both Chen Mo and Hu Lai cared so much about Zhang Qinghuan, especially Hu Lai, this matter should not be his concern 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, "Dr. Yang said on the phone that Zhang Qinghuan's examination results came out, and the ligament was not torn."

Hearing what he said, Chen Mo also heaved a sigh of relief, but Hu Lai still stared at Director Zhao.

"But it also takes 15 days to rest before returning to the court."

After fifteen days, he was unable to play two games, but Chen Mo still nodded with satisfaction: "This is already considered a very good result. After seeing his performance in the game yesterday, I finally have some expectations and hopes."

"Well, in fact, this injury is still related to his lack of high-intensity training before, otherwise he could have avoided it in time, and his body reaction is still a bit slower." Zhao Kangming nodded.

"Old Zhao, Zhang Qinghuan has actually been training hard for a month before this. Although one month can't make up for the three years he missed, it is still a good trend. I think the club can reconsider the decision on him. Right. This prodigal son...is finally going to turn around, right?"

Chen Mo asked Zhao Kangming, but suddenly a young voice sounded beside him: "That's not right."

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 narrowed his eyes.

Of course, Hu Lai couldn't say that because he hadn't received the reminder from the system to complete the task, so it was obvious that Zhang Qinghuan hadn't turned back as a real prodigal son.

Facing the assistant coach's questioning, he could only say: "Director Chen, how could it be so easy to turn the prodigal son back? Otherwise, that guy Zhang Qinghuan would have turned the prodigal son back eight lifetimes ago... Isn't he honest for a long time after the first drunk driving?" For a while? What happened afterwards? So it’s too early to say he’s a prodigal son.”

Chen Mo reflexively wanted to refute the kid in front of him, but he immediately realized that Hu Lai was right.

Zhao Kangming, who was beside him, also nodded slightly, and then suddenly asked: "Then why do you think the real prodigal son has turned back? I also know that the performance in a short period of time is not convincing. But now there are only two days before the end of the season." In other words, we only have two months to inspect him, and then we have to decide whether to buy him out. Two months is not short, but it is not long, so he Does Li's performance count as a return of the prodigal son?"

Chen Mo glanced at his old partner in surprise, he actually asked Hu Lai this question very seriously, did he ask Hu Lai for help, or was he testing him?

Hu Lai didn't expect the head coach to ask himself a serious question. He realized that Director Zhao wasn't joking with him, so he pondered.

He actually didn't care whether Zhang Qinghuan's performance in the past two months was considered a prodigal son, and it was not his purpose to judge this matter. His purpose is to make Zhang Qinghuan's prodigal son turn back - as long as I let him turn his prodigal son back, isn't it sure that the prodigal son has turned back? Judgment criteria? Of course the system has the final say!

But how can he turn his prodigal son back?

Now that he is injured, will it have any impact on his emotions?

What was he thinking while lying on the hospital bed?

Will you regret your indulgence?

Will you not be reconciled?

At this time, he suddenly thought of a sentence that the boss Qin Lin said to himself before. He commented on Zhang Qinghuan like this:

"In the past, Zhang Qinghuan was very confident, but not arrogant. Now Zhang Qinghuan is very proud, but he is no longer confident."

Why should a person who is no longer confident be proud? How can you be so proud?

It can only be a bluff, is it just a show?

This kind of pride is more like a disguise... Pretending that I am still very good, pretending that I am still that super genius...

He can only rely on this hypocritical pride to hold on in front of everyone.

So what if all his pride is shattered?

After this idea popped out of Hu Lai's mind, he couldn't hold it back. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.

But how to break his pride?

Hu Lai thought of the fallen geniuses he had seen in that time and space again.

Which one of them was not surprised to be a heavenly man when they turned out to be born, and everyone firmly believed that they would have a bright future. As a result, due to various reasons, everyone disappeared like this, and then there was no news from them.

When I heard their names again, I either heard that they had retired, or it was in some social news.

It is embarrassing.

For example, there is such a Chinese player who was the first Chinese player to join a European giant team, and the transfer fee also set a record. Everyone was optimistic about his future in the giants, 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 "Shang Zhongyong" in Chinese football. He was ridiculed and insulted by countless people. There are no jokes to tease him.

A hero in the hearts of Chinese fans, a star of hope who had high hopes, has just become a joke and a clown in the eyes of everyone. The only meaning of his existence seems to be to let public opinion vent their dissatisfaction with Chinese football.

Especially this super genius was reduced to the point where he couldn't even play in the Chinese A team. He even went to participate in a plastic surgery variety show, with a stiff smile on his face. It's like watching a monkey in a zoo, being watched by audiences all over the country.

At this time, those Chinese fans who had placed high hopes on him at the beginning didn't even know whether to feel sad or funny.

This super genius finally announced his retirement when he was 31 years old in ten days. I don't know how much relief and unwillingness he felt at that time?

※※※

When Chen Mo got a little impatient, Hu Lai raised his head, looked at Zhao Kangming and said, "I don't know what kind of performance in two months is considered a prodigal son, but we can make him truly The prodigal son turned back."

Zhao Kangming asked back with a smile: "How can he turn his real prodigal son back."

"Director Zhao, does Zhang Qinghuan know the result of his diagnosis?" Hu Lai didn't answer, but asked a question instead.

"Not yet. Dr. Yang must obtain the club's consent before he can tell the player the specific injury." Zhao Kangming shook his head and answered Hu Lai's question.

"Then tell Zhang Qinghuan that his injury is too serious. 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 beside him even exclaimed: "Are you kidding, Hu Lai!"

"I'm not joking, Director Chen. People like Zhang Qinghuan have always thought highly of themselves and are too proud. Before so many people told him the pros and cons, he didn't listen to them, because He always feels that with his talent, as long as he is a little more serious, he can play football that everyone cheers and praises-his previous experience seems to prove this point. So it doesn’t matter if you indulge now, he is still young, and he has plenty of time and money Opportunities... But what if he knows that his career is over?" Hu Lai's thoughts had matured, so he said it firmly and loudly.

Hearing what he said, Chen Mo was also lost in thought.

Hu Lai continued: "Didn't you say that 'a man's words are good when he is about to die'? We can't let Zhang Qinghuan die, but for professional players, retirement is also death in a certain sense. If you let him know I am about to retire, can it crush the false pride in his heart? Can it make him really start to reflect on his indulgence in the past few years? Can he reverse his mentality? After all, a talented player, at the age of twenty-three Retiring before the deadline, who would have thought of this? I'm afraid Zhang Qinghuan himself would never have thought of it. Under such a huge change in his life, will he die and survive?"

Zhao Kangming was the first to recover from the shock, and laughed after hearing Hu Lai's words: "It's interesting. But how can you guarantee that you can scare him with the matter of retiring and he will be able to reform? Or, you just Aren't you worried that he will be so shocked by this news that he will give up on himself and completely break the can?"

In front of Zhao Kangming, Hu Lai was very relaxed. He shrugged and said honestly: "I don't know if he can really reform himself. But this is the only way I can think of. If he really wants to break the can Breaking, that is his own choice. You will lie to him when you tell him about retirement, but the club will definitely not buy him out again. He can go wherever he likes, from now on It has nothing to do with the Flash Star Club. You also saved the transfer fee, didn’t you? But if he can really regain his life from the stimulus of retirement, wouldn’t the club earn? Anyway, the club has nothing to lose, Why not try it?"

After speaking, Hu Lai looked at Zhao Kangming and stopped talking.

At the same time, what he thought in his heart was that if he really failed, his loss would be nothing more than not getting the task reward. But I didn't have any [Consonance Card] before, didn't I come to today? So if he can't get the mission reward, he can't get the mission reward. He just lost something that he didn't have. In fact, he didn't lose anything.

If Zhang Qinghuan is determined to die, let him rot in the mud. Anyway, there is no shortage of shooting stars like him in Chinese football.

I am not the Holy Mother, I have to sacrifice myself to save others...

After Hu Lai finished speaking, the office fell into silence for a while, Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo both bowed their heads in thought without saying a word.

At this moment, the door of 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 a player in the head coach's office before the team's training, and he froze for a moment.

Dong Wen doesn't dislike this young man. After all, he has solved big problems for the team, scored so many goals, and is a local player with a halo of household registration book. Shake face to see.

Despite his preoccupation, he still greeted Hu Lai with a smile: "It's Hu Lai."

"Hi, Manager Dong." Hu Lai also politely replied.

Dong Wen nodded, and stopped looking at him, but cast his eyes on 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 rushed in front of him and frowned and said, "Say it, he said that Zhang Qinghuan was seriously injured, and I'm afraid he will retire early..."

Dong Wen:? ? ?

Chen Mo glanced at Old Zhao.

Zhao Kangming looked at Hu Lai: "You go back first and get ready for training. You don't need to say a word to anyone you heard here today, not even your roommate."

When Hu Lai heard Director Zhao's words, he knew that Director Zhao should have 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 bidding farewell to Dong Wen and Chen Mo respectively, he rushed out of the office and closed the door completely before leaving to ensure that the voices of the three people inside would not be heard by people outside.

Turning his head and watching Hu Lai close the door, Dong Wen finally asked the question in his heart: "What's the situation, Lao Zhao? Didn't you say there is no major problem? It's enough to cultivate for ten days and a half months..."

Zhao Kangming looked at him and asked: "Manager Dong, I want to ask about Zhang Qinghuan who can recover to the previous level... no, 80% of the previous level. Just like in yesterday's game, he may The breakthrough is not good, the explosive power has declined, but he still has excellent football awareness and sense of the ball, and his imaginative passing is still there. He can perform even better after practicing well... Just like Zhang Qinghuan, the club is still willing to have ?"

Dong Wen opened his mouth slightly and looked at Zhao Kangming in confusion.
