my football i call the shots

158 The strong rise of Yanbian football

A small restaurant in downtown Yanbian.

Since Li Hongjun had already greeted the owner of the restaurant before coming, when the three of them came to the private room of the small restaurant, the freshly baked food was already on the table, waiting for the three former Yanbian football veterans The presence of characters.

"Ah, Boss Li, you are here, please hurry up, the food has just been served not long ago."

Seeing Gao Xun, Li Hongjun, and Jin Guangzhu, who were busy in the world, walk into the restaurant, the owner of the restaurant first frowned, because he really couldn't recognize who this man with a big belly and gray temples was.

Of course, those who can follow Li Hongjun and Jin Guangzhu are not ordinary people.

The small owner of the restaurant was really too curious. After taking a few more glances and still found that he didn't know this middle-aged man who had never visited his small restaurant, he turned to express his doubts.

"Boss Li, Coach Jin, who is the guest you two brought today?"

The expression of the small owner of the restaurant is still respectful. After all, he is a businessman who has been in the business field for many years. No matter how he meets ordinary people, he will not treat them casually like those white-eyed wolves.

"Who is this……"

Just when Li Hongjun was about to say the well-known name "Gao Xun", Gao Xun took Li Hongjun's talk away, but with a very simple smile, he simply replied: "Old friend, old friend."

Seeing that Gao Xun was unwilling to reveal his identity, Li Hongjun also changed his style of painting: "Ah, yes, my old friend from many years ago has not developed in Yanbian these years, and went to the south to do business."

"Oh, so it's a big boss from the south, hello, hello."

Hearing that he is from the south, the small owner of the restaurant narrowed his eyes even more with a smile. After all, the economic boom in the south, how the businessmen in the south area exploded, and the deeds of how generous they spent often spread to the north area. Some businessmen are more fond of small bosses from the south.

Gao Xun didn't seem quite used to this kind of "sycophant". He had been working as a small accountant in a small company for so many years, but he was suddenly called a big boss. Gao Xun didn't know what to answer.

Gao Xun held it in for a long time, and then said jerkyly: "Hello."

After all, a businessman is still a businessman. Li Hongjun, who has been in the business world for many years, saw that Gao Xun was not used to such a tone of words, so he immediately stood up and said: "I said, Xiao Wang, your food will not be cold, right? Yes, hot goat milk, the weather is cold, so we can warm our stomachs."

"Ah, this meal won't be cold. It was brought in just after the time was counted... Oh, and this goat's milk. I'll ask someone to warm it up for you later before bringing it in."

"Hey, it needs to be warmed for a long time, and it will taste better when it is warm."

"Yes, yes... the three of you, please."

Originally, the little boss of the restaurant wanted to flatter him, but he had already reached the door of the private room, so Li Hongjun dismissed the slippery little boss with a few polite words.

"Xiao Wang, go get busy. Our third brother needs to have a good chat. If you have nothing to do, don't come in and disturb us."

"Okay, two bosses, Coach Jin, you can talk slowly, I'll go to work first."

After all, the little restaurant owner who seemed a bit annoying finally left the side of the three of them in a sensible way.

Gao Xun also shook his head helplessly as he watched off the slightly wretched figure of the young owner of the restaurant.

Sure enough, this society is self-aware. Those who have status and earn money will naturally be flattered, and a small accountant like Gao Xun can only attract people's cold eyes.

After pushing the door open, the private room was indeed filled with freshly baked meals, waiting for Gao Xun, Li Hongjun, Jin Guangzhu and his party to come.

Li Hongjun is obviously a regular customer of this small restaurant. Before he sat down, he opened the lid of the same dish: "Old Gao, eat some hot food to warm your stomach first. It's cold here in Yanbian, not as warm as in the south." .”

Seeing that his old teammates still respected him as much as they did back then despite their wealth, Gao Xun also felt warm in his heart: "Okay... But, why did you choose such a restaurant? It's because of the expense."

As if hearing Gao Xun's "meaningful words", Jin Guangzhu also opened his throat and smiled heartily: "Old Gao, this restaurant was the one you liked to bring us to after training in the middle of the week, did you give it to me?" Did you forget???"

"You said, that noodle restaurant of the hunchbacked old man???" Gao Xun's eyes lit up when he was reminded by Jin Guangzhu. At that time, his favorite place to eat was the noodle restaurant of the hunchbacked old man. It's cheap and delicious there.

"Haha, do you still remember, at that time, you always said that 'the meat is thick and the noodles are thick, and a bowl is full'. A few years ago, the old man with a hunchback went west, and his son took over. Later, when he made a lot of money, he took over the bungalow. The store has been turned over, so it's normal that you can't recognize it."

"I see."

After Jin Guangzhu said this, Gao Xun suddenly realized.

Just now, Gao Xun thought that Li Hongjun is now dating this kind of cunning businessman, but looking at it now, everyone is reluctant to part with this place because of the taste of "a lot of meat, thick noodles, and a bowl of meat". That slippery little boss just now has nothing to do with it.

"Come on, Lao Gao, give me the bowl, and taste the taste of the past..." While helping Gao Xun to serve the noodles, Li Hongjun said with a smile: "Over the years, Team Jin and I have always come here to eat their noodles. Well, although the hunchbacked old man is gone, their noodles still taste the same as before, maybe there is some secret recipe."

"Well, Lao Li, if you say that, I really have to have a bowl first."

Without further ado, after Gao Xun took the noodles that Li Hongjun helped him to fill, he quickly moved his chopsticks.

Of course, it's not because of hunger, but because Gao Xun really wants to get back the old taste as soon as possible.

The old things have been refurbished beyond recognition, and Gao Xun has become unrecognizable, but Gao Xun is still very pleased, at least, after more than ten years, he was able to eat such a bowl when he returned to Yanbian. Old taste mutton noodles.

As Li Hongjun and Jin Guangzhu said, the mutton noodles in this small restaurant still taste the same as before. After eating, Gao Xun suddenly stopped his chopsticks because he seemed to remember that everyone gathered here after the training class. Sitting at a table, gobbling big pieces of meat, telling jokes with those who haven't finished eating, laughing so hard that those who eat slowly can't eat anymore...

Although the income was low and the conditions were poor at that time, the victory lies in the purity of feelings!Feelings are true!

Seeing Gao Xun's pensive look, Jin Guangzhu couldn't help feeling emotional: "Back then, the coaches brought us to eat a bowl of mutton noodles, and we were all happy for a long time, but now, the living standard It’s too high, how can the lads still eat these things now.”

Gao Xun was attracted by Jin Guangzhu's words.

Because Gao Xun knows that Jin Guangzhu has been working in the Yanbian football team for these years. The effect of ignoring.

"How is the Yanbian team doing now? I read the reports and rushed back to the top league. I can't think of it."

Jin Guangzhu chuckled, with obvious crow's feet at the corners of his eyes: "Old Gao, I didn't expect that last year, I was almost relegated, but this year I surpassed it. In other words, not many people thought that our Yanbian team is so strong."

When it comes to football, especially Yanbian football, Gao Xun immediately lit up his eyes: "How did you do it? Two seasons, completely two states."

After working for a long time, he finally removed all the lids from the table. Li Hongjun had nothing to do at the moment, so he took his mouth and said, "Haha, Lao Gao, let me answer this question for you instead of Captain Jin."

Seeing Li Hongjun recommending himself, Jin Guangzhu also shrugged and signaled: "It's okay, Lao Li, tell me and see if you're right."

"That's fine, I'll try to talk about my own opinion..." When it came to serious matters, Li Hongjun also recovered his serious expression, and gestured logically at the dinner table.

"The main reason is because of three points, 1. Physical fitness, 2. Counterattack, 3. Foreign aid; South Korean coach Park Tae-ha is really ruthless. The whole winter training period has laid down the players, but there are also gains. After the whole season, we Yanbian The team is the team with the longest running distance in the Chinese Premier League. With physical fitness, it will naturally be able to fight back. Coupled with the big advantages of Ha Tae-kyun, Steve, and Charlton, the results will naturally come alive. …In the final analysis, whether it is the Chinese Premier League or the Chinese Super League, it is the world of foreign aid.”

After listening to Li Hongjun's analysis, both Gao Xun and Jin Guangzhu nodded.

Gao Xun's expression was thoughtful, while Jin Guangzhu's expression was more thought-provoking. Seeing the tense muscles on his face, he felt a bit of a serious posture.

"Lao Li is right, foreign aid! Foreign aid is so important! At the end of this season, we have added two South Korean foreign aids in a row, and there is still one position left. The coaching staff is still considering it."

"Oh???" Gao Xun's eyes lit up: "The Korean foreign players are really good. Looking at Ha Tae Kyun's performance last season, it would be good if the two Korean foreign players who came could call him... By the way, which two are they?" What about the famous South Korean foreign aid? Could it be Ki Sung-yong from Swansea in the Premier League?"

"Old Gao, you think beautifully..."

"Hahahahaha, didn't you read the newspapers? The Chinese Super League is fiercely competitive. Even a 22-year-old substitute player is worth 2000 million yuan in transfer fees. To be honest, Ji Chengyong is worth a few million euros. It’s also a good deal.”

Jin Guangzhu was speechless for a while, but he could also understand why Gao Xun said that. After all, Gao Xun hadn't been involved in the football circle for many years, and his understanding of the current transfer market was only limited to news reports.

"If Ji Chengyong is willing to come, it is impossible to come to our newly promoted polo team like Yanbian. Indeed, a midfielder has been signed. It is Yoon Bigaran of Jeju United. He is an attacking midfielder with good offensive talent. He Tae Kyun can partner with you to call."

Hearing this strange name, Gao Xun also nodded in a daze. After all, it is impossible for him to pay attention to the players in the K-League, and he still doesn't know much about it.

It was Li Hongjun who became interested after hearing Jin Guangzhu's words, and he went on to say: "Yin Bigaran, a talented attacking midfielder born in the 90s in Korea, full of aura, this deal is a good deal... What about the other one? ??"

"Kim Seung-dae, a striker, Pohang Steelers' top scorer in the team, oh... It's normal if you haven't heard of this name, because Kim Seung-dae is only 21 years old."

"Only 21 years old???" Gao Xun seemed a little unbelievable: "What is the club thinking? It is not too risky to use the foreign aid quota for a 21-year-old player???"

Regarding Gao Xun's doubts, Jin Guangzhu shook his head and said: "Yanbian Club is not so big that everyone can spend money like other clubs. Although the transfer market is bubble, we can only avoid it. In addition to keeping Ha Tae Kyun, In addition to the introduction of Yoon Bigaran and Kim Seung-dae, the club is still considering a relatively tough defensive backbone, and a midfielder with a wider view and a wider vision."

Li Hongjun asked suspiciously: "Are you still bringing in Korean players? It is said that the midfielder Zheng Yourong who played for Vissel Kobe in the J-League is not bad."

"These two positions don't consider Asian players. They should be Brazilian players or players who play in European leagues. They are still in operation for the time being. In fact, I don't know much about them."

After all, Jin Guangzhu shrugged, indicating that he didn't know everything.

The current Jin Guangzhu is no longer the head coach of the team. He is just one of the members of the Chinese coaching staff, and his knowledge is indeed limited.

"That's not bad..." Gao Xun nodded: "It seems that the club's thinking is quite good, not to advance aggressively, and not to play 'Golden Dollar Football' with others, but now the domestic player market is such a big bubble, the club's attitude towards local players What do you think about importing?"

"Haha, there is no need to worry about the introduction of domestic players. We have talked with several old clubs, and they are also very interested in coming back to play in Yanbian, and the transfer fee is also reasonable."

"Oh? The 89 National Games???"

"Yes, that's the batch."

"That's not bad..." Gao Xun nodded thoughtfully: "The seedlings of the 89 batch of Yanbian are also Mesozoic, most of them have married families, and they all have the heart to return to Yanbian to settle down. This is really good, after all Well, the income level of the Yanbian team is also good now."

"Haha." Seeing Gao Xun thinking so seriously, Li Hongjun couldn't help but smile heartily: "I said, Lao Gao, it seems that you also pay attention to the seedlings of our Yanbian 89 National Games team in Guangfu. It seems that , it will be difficult for you to let go of Yanbian football in your life."

"Old Li, I never thought about letting go of Yanbian football..." Gao Xun stroked his sleeves, sipped hot tea and continued: "Yanbian football raised me, how could I let it go, I just I just don’t want to come back and face some of the things that happened back then.”

When it came to "certain things in the past", the three people at the dinner table were suddenly silent.

Because those are sad things that Yanbian football people don't want to mention.

All of a sudden, the three men silently put vegetables on the dining table and served them with the rice. Everyone had a tacit understanding and didn't continue talking.

Because of some things, I really don't need to say too much.

If you understand it in your heart, it will be fine.
