Football: When you are at Manchester United, you must score goals

Originally, Lin Lingqi went to participate in the recording of a program in the morning, was invited to accept an exclusive interview with England TV in the afternoon, and had a charity dinner in the evening. After finishing all the work today, he will leave England with Dasha Taran tomorrow afternoon and start traveling around international.

But Lin Hexiong called him yesterday and told him that he wanted to talk to him about the national team.

Lin Lingqi shied away and said that he would go to Huaguo for a while to talk again, but Lin Hexiong said that the person who came with him was someone who could make a decision, so Lin Lingqi had to postpone the recording of the show until tomorrow morning.

At nine o'clock in the morning, there was a sound of cars coming from the garden. Lin Lingqi sat on the sofa and pretended not to hear it. The second day after the game and his body ached everywhere made him a little tired.

The bodyguard brought him in, and Lin Lingqi pretended to stand up to greet him.

Lin Hexiong was wearing a decent suit and looked like he was talking about business. He carried a bag, handed it over, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, I haven't seen you in a few months, you are going to be a father."

The relationship between Lin Lingqi and Lin Hexiong was not bad, and he was asked to help resolve Jiang Wude's contract when he was in Huaguo. Although it was settled by Li Ming in the end, it was still a favor.

After Lin Hexiong handed the gift to Lin Lingqi, he quickly introduced the middle-aged man beside him, "This is Secretary Sun."

Lin Lingqi was puzzled, he just introduced his position, he didn't say where he worked, it seems that he has a lot of background... Could it be the leader of the Football Association who hasn't taken office yet? ... Probably not, the biggest leaders basically don't talk about things in person, they are only responsible for signing.

Secretary Sun looked younger than Lin Hexiong, well maintained, with a ruddy complexion.

Lin Lingqi shook hands with him and invited them to sit down.

Secretary Sun was not like other people who chatted politely for a while, but went straight to the point: "Mr. Lin Lingqi, with regard to the national team, the public opinion from the outside world has had a bad influence on you and the Chinese Football Association. Today is also the deadline you mentioned, so I want to finalize this matter as soon as possible."

It seems to be able to make a decision.

Lin Lingqi took the water glass handed over by the auntie nanny, took a sip and said lightly: "Leader, my request will not change, I can tell you something clearly, England and Portugal are waiting for me to make a choice, you You know, I play football in England, and the benefits of joining the England national team are immeasurable... and Huaguo, who has nothing, is the worst choice for everyone."

"But your first choice is Hua Guo." Secretary Sun said, "Can you tell me the reason?"

"Reason?" Lin Lingqi thought for a moment and said, "The reason is that I was born in Huaguo and grew up in Huaguo. The genetic test also showed that my parents are from Huaguo, and Huaguo is my country."

Secretary Sun asked again: "If you accept your request, how sure are you of leading the team to the next World Cup?"

Lin Lingqi replied: "The next World Cup has basically decided to expand the army. Based on the current football level of Asian countries, I think it is 90.00% nine."

He has this self-confidence. The level of Huaguo players can be regarded as second-tier in Asia. In the past three years, as long as the league can develop normally, the national team has a good coach, there are no internal problems, and there is no one holding back, so that players can concentrate on football. , coupled with the expansion of the next World Cup, and his system, there is no reason why he cannot enter the World Cup.

Secretary Sun nodded and asked again: "Do you need funds to plan foreign aid?"

"If Huaguo's naturalization policy does not change, with the current level of Huachao's foreign aid, the disadvantages of the plan will far outweigh the advantages. You have also seen the results of the last World Cup qualifiers. The problem of skin color is not easy to solve. It is better to use That money goes where it’s needed more.”

"for example?"

"Let the players play football with peace of mind and no worries." In Huachao's current situation, many professional players simply cannot concentrate on the football field.

Secretary Sun asked him a lot of questions. He probably didn't know much about football, and occasionally took out his mobile phone while chatting, probably looking at the questions prepared in advance.

"Sorry for taking up a lot of your time. One last question." Secretary Sun looked at him and said, "Are you ready to bear this national pressure?"

Lin Lingqi smiled and said, "I don't care about the opinions of the outside world, as long as the result is good, no matter if I succeed or fail, at least I have worked hard and have no regrets in my heart."

Secretary Sun took a sip of water, was silent for a long time, and suddenly looked at him with a smile, "Then just let it go, anyway, it's already at the bottom of the valley, no matter how bad it is, it won't be too bad, maybe try another way of living, you can There is a different vitality."

Lin Lingqi's expression did not fluctuate, but he asked the biggest question in his heart since the beginning of the chat, "Leader, can you make a decision?"

"I came to see you today to finalize this matter." Secretary Sun smiled, "Yes, I can make a decision because I am Secretary Sun."

"I'm going to the bathroom." Secretary Sun got up and said, Lin Lingqi knew that Secretary Sun was giving him time to talk with Lin Hexiong.

As soon as Secretary Sun left, Lin Lingqi asked, "Who is this?"

Lin Hexiong whispered, "The secretary-general of the big boss."

Lin Lingqi gasped, no wonder he dared to say that he could make a decision, so he came with a mission.

The big boss really cares about football, otherwise it would be impossible for him to agree to such nonsense. To put it bluntly, his conditions are based on the power of the Football Association, and everything is in the hands of a person who is not in the officialdom.

Lin Lingqi chatted with Lin Hexiong for a while. Secretary Sun came back. He didn't sit down, but he was planning to leave. "The invitational match in half a month. Do you want to play? The opponent is Myanmar."

Lin Lingqi got up and said, "No, I don't plan to play in the Asian Cup next year either."

Lin Lingqi wanted to see if the Football Association would act according to his ideas. If there was no change, he still had room to make another choice.

Secretary Sun didn't ask why, but just nodded, "Everyone trusts you, and we will support your work."

"Thank you." Lin Lingqi sincerely thanked her.

"In the future, you and Xiaolin...Minister Lin will be in charge of the affairs of the Football Association."

Lin Lingqi sent the two of them away, and Dasha Talan went downstairs and asked, "How did the talk go?"

"Good thing." Lin Lingqi didn't want to annoy her, so he went for a walk in the garden with her without saying much.

After strolling around for a while, Lin Hexiong went back and forth. The two chatted a lot, mainly because Lin Lingqi made suggestions, and Lin Hexiong was taking notes.

Before Lin Hexiong left, he took a gift box and handed it to him, but this time Lin Lingqi didn't accept anything.

Lin Lingqi is not a fool. Lin Hexiong has a good relationship with him. Now that the matter is settled, the affairs of the national team will be arranged by him. Lin Hexiong's position in the Football Association will definitely rise, and it is only natural to give gifts to express his gratitude.

"I won't accept the gifts. I will talk about it in three years. If everything goes well, I will dare to accept whatever you give me." Lin Lingqi laughed.
