Chapter 7 The Road is in the South

There is always a lot of noise in the morning.The sound of hawkers hawking, the wailing of chickens and ducks, the Shanghai Nong language of the aunt bargaining, and the sound of the younger sister reciting English words.

Yesterday, after sending Li Xiaofeng on the train back to his hometown in Zhejiang, Lin Yi went back to his rented house in the suburbs of Jiading, Shanghai. In a room of less than 20 square meters, there are 3 beds separated by curtains. Under the bed is a place to put clothes and sundries. In the little space left, there are a few chairs that I nailed in the factory, a foldable table, and a small cupboard. The entertainment for the whole family is a TV. As for the stove and gas tank, two bicycles are only kept in the house when sleeping.

Although the room was small, it was kept exceptionally clean by my mother, and my sister's paintings on the wall also added some homey atmosphere.The house was originally used by the landlord as a garage. Because the landlord’s son bought a new house, he rented it out to Lin Yi’s family. The small house next to the vegetable market has been lived in by Lin Yi’s family for 8 years, and the house in their hometown has only been home for a few days during the Spring Festival.

It is said that the house in my hometown has become dangerous due to a landslide. It is said that the government has subsidized it, and then it will be demolished.When I go home for the Chinese New Year this year, I have to arrange to move out the things I want and put them in relatives’ homes. When I don’t work part-time, I don’t know if those things can still be used when I go home.Thinking of this, Ji Dong still feels very guilty. The family's embarrassment is more or less due to his football dream.

After I came back yesterday, I told my dad about going to Guangzhou for trial training. My dad agreed without thinking about it, and my mom asked when I would leave.Looking at his mother who was helping him pack his luggage, Lin Yi said confidently and slowly: "Mom, prepare less thick clothes. It's not cold in Guangzhou. I will succeed this time. By the way, mother, if I earn a lot of money, how will we spend it?"

My mother didn't joke that Lin Yi was bragging, he knew the kid's temperament, he was just a treasure.

"Buy a house first. The subsidies given by the government are almost enough to build a house in the countryside, but your father said he wanted to buy a house in the county. If you don't buy it now, you won't be able to afford it later. Your sister can't take the college entrance examination in Shanghai. We will go back to our hometown after high school. It will be more convenient to live in the county in the future.

Since you played football, your father has also paid attention to football, and now he often says that when the conditions are good, he will open a sports lottery shop, and sell cigarettes and alcohol by the way, and he will be more relaxed..."

As his mother chattered, Ji Dong felt his nose was sore, he must succeed, and he could no longer be a burden to the family.I'm an adult now, and it's time to take responsibility.

Since this trial training is a trial training invited by the club, the cost of round-trip air tickets, food and accommodation will be provided by Guangzhou Evergrande Club, so the Lin family only needs to go directly to the airport tomorrow.If the agent brings someone to the trial training, it will be borne by the player himself.

In the evening, Lin Yi and his family watched the warm-up match between the Chinese Olympic Games and the Japanese National Olympic Games live on CCTV. As a result, China lost 1:2 to the Japanese team at home.Cheng Tao scored a penalty kick for the Chinese team, and Sugimoto Kenyong scored twice for the Japanese team.On the scene, the Japanese team has an overall advantage.

Early the next morning, Mom and Dad rushed to Pudong International Airport with their younger sister and Lin Yi, who happened to have no class on Saturday.After seeing Lao Qi, Dad thanked Lao Qi for his invitation to try out, and invited Lao Qi to come to his house when he was free.

The Japanese Olympic team left China overnight after the game, and Lao Qi has completed his work, so now he is the Chinese assistant coach of Guangzhou Evergrande Football Club.

As Lin Yi's current owner, Director Xu, Coach Fang and a staff member of the club came to see him off together.For Coach Fang, Lin Yi is full of gratitude. It is he who discovered himself and let him walk into Chongming Island.As for the old man, Ji Dong was full of admiration.After the detailed discussion in the office, Lin Yi was even more impressed by his charisma.

The airport is a vanity fair, this is a common saying in the work of Western paparazzi.Here you can see all kinds of people, of course paparazzi and fans waiting for the stars.

Today, it is said that at least five or six celebrities' itineraries have been exposed. There are Uranus superstars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, big sisters from mainland China, and the sticky Oppa. It is very lively.The support groups of each star have flags, banners, and LED panels. The clothes are also specially customized and uniform.

Lin Yi is very envious. If one day he has this kind of treatment, he may be the superstar that Director Xu mentioned. At that time, can he change anything for Chinese football?Can you find the road that Director Xu said?
Before the boarding time, everyone just found a place to chat.My mother repeatedly told Lin Yi not to eat everything like Cantonese people. Although he has a good stomach, he just can't eat raw food.After explaining a lot, Ji Dong can basically memorize it, but at this time he seems very kind.

Dad's explanation is a bit like an old cadre, just one sentence, you are an adult, don't cause trouble for others.Among them, I received a call from Lin Xiaofeng and said two encouraging and funny words, full of blessings.

Suddenly there was a commotion behind him, getting louder and louder. A young group of about 200 people, mainly female, slowly moved over.I saw that they were wearing uniform clothes, and the LED signs in their hands were written in Chinese and Korean. Lin Yi knew Chinese, and Li Junji.

Who is this?

Gradually the encirclement was pulled out of a passage by a dozen big men in black. One was wearing a peaked cap and a mask, his long hair was dyed wine red, the eyeliner on his eyes was exaggerated and bold, and his left ear was wearing a cross-shaped earring.Wearing a slim casual suit, the long cape coat almost drags to the ground.Without saying a word, he stared straight ahead, as if the fans on the left, right and behind were all dead.

Such a motherly dress made Ji Dong feel very uncomfortable, he turned his head and asked his younger sister with bright eyes, "Who is this?"

"Lee Jun Ki, the hottest male star in South Korea, the prince charming of all the girls in our class."

If it wasn't for seeing that my brother didn't like it, I would have wanted to join those nympho fans a long time ago.

"Aren't you a fan of Beckham? When I become a star, I'll ask you for Beckham's autographed photo, really autographed."

The last four words "real signature" cannot be said, because my sister actually bought Beckham's signed photo on a certain treasure, saying that the seller waited for a long time at the airport to get it, and my sister actually spent several months of savings to buy it.Later, I found out that the guy was still selling it, and I checked the notes and it was not bad at all.My mother scolded me for a long time after she found out about this matter, and Ji Dong also joked about it until now.

"If you talk about the photos again, I'll tell my mom about the love letter you wrote to that Yang Xiaona. Tsk tsk tsk, I'll keep the love letter for you even as a child who is only in the first grade of junior high school. Why are they all broken? Could it be that Yang Xiaona tore it up? You really thought about it, and even glued it all together with transparent glue."

After the girl finished speaking, her mouth turned up, this is his big killer, as long as this love letter is kept, brother can handle it as he pleases.

Among Lee Jun Ki's fans, there is a boy who is very special. He doesn't wear uniform fan costumes, and he doesn't scream like crazy.I saw him carrying a women's bag, carefully following a girl, for fear that the girl would be hit by the crowded and chaotic crowd.Occasionally glanced at Lee Jun Ki's eyes full of displeasure.But when his eyes inadvertently glanced over Ji Dong's group of people, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed over quickly after saying a few words to his female companion.

"Sorry to bother you, Director Xu, can you sign for me? I'm an old fan of Shenhua."

It turned out that Shenhua fans saw the presence of Director Xu, so it's no wonder.Fans who got autographs left happily.After a while, Lee Jun Ki entered the VIP channel under the escort of bodyguards.

"It's all your fault. Oppa signed 5 names. I was there. If you were by my side, how could you be squeezed out? You said you were here with me? That's how you are. You don't even care if I get squeezed out for signing for an old man."

Due to the departure of the idol, the hustle and bustle of the entrance just now seemed a little quieter, and the voice of the female companion of the fan who was about to get Director Xu's autograph was particularly harsh at this time.

"Sissy, you are enough. Look at your idol, does he look like a man? He is so good that you are so obsessed with him, does he treat you as human beings? Pooh!"

The boy looked very angry.

"And let me tell you, this is not some messy old man. He is a meritorious coach of Chinese football and Shanghai Shenhua, and he is much more noble than your transvestite. Also, let's break up today. I can't serve you as a princess. We Shanghai boys are easy to talk, but it doesn't mean that we have no temper. From now on, we will be fine!"

After saying this, the boy seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and he ignored the woman with a flick of his hand. The woman was obviously also angry, and turned around and left.Seeing that the girl had left, the boy didn't want to keep her, so he came over to apologize to Director Xu.

"Brother, real man, I support you!" This matter is actually quite bloody, and Lin Yi also feels that this boy is a hero, so he should support him.And if this boy doesn't speak, he will go crazy, and despise Director Xu whom he respects in front of him, you think I, Lin Yi, are really a good boy.

"Thank you. I'm a sophomore at Shanghai University. My name is Zhang Qiwen. May I know who you are?"

It was obvious that Lin Yi and Director Xu were together, so he asked Lin Yi's name out of politeness.

"My name is Lin Yi, and I'm also a student. Director Xu is my principal. I'm going to Guangzhou for a trial training this time to see if I can have a chance to play professional games."

Ji Dong's temperament is like this, he is familiar with others but crazy when others come.

"Okay, brother, please come on, I wish you success! Sign me an autograph, I am willing to be your fan. Just sign next to Director Xu."

Zhang Qiwen took out the notebook, Lin Yi was not polite, and signed his name under Director Xu's name.The font is correct, it has not been practiced, nor has it been carefully designed, it is just an ordinary word.

After signing, Zhang Qiwen proposed to take a photo with Lin Yi and Director Xu.Instructor Xu stood in the middle, Lin Yi and Zhang Qiwen lined up on the left and right.As Lao Qi pressed the shutter, an incomparably precious photo appeared in the world.

This photo features China's own football godfather, China's greatest player, and one of the most important people in Lin Yi's life who happens to appear in the corner of the photo.

In this way, Lin Yi signed autographs for fans for the first time on his way to find the way for Chinese football, and gained the first fans.

Chinese football, after all, there is hope!After all, we still have such fanatical fans who love their motherland and the jersey embroidered with the national flag.We have no shortage of people like Xu Genbao, and we also have upright referees. With the rapid development of China's economy, more and more football capital has entered the football market.

If there is anything Chinese football lacks now, it is the road. We have not found a football road that suits us.

The ancestors failed to save China from the Westernization Reform and the Peasant Uprising. Only when Mao Zedong and others found a road suitable for the Chinese themselves, China can stand up again.Only when Mao Zedong and others find the way of China's economy can China become rich.

Everything needs a way, a correct way.

The road is long and far away, and I will search for it!
On January 2011, 1, the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar, a letter was written in the almanac.

　The last sentence is a reference to my favorite movie, East Wicked.Ouyang Feng is my favorite!In the name of the most handsome Ouyang Feng Leslie Cheung, please recommend tickets and collect them!
