Chapter 336: Drinking Ice for Ten Years, the Passion Is Hard to Cool!
In addition to some training equipment, Zhang Hefeng's home is covered with football posters.
His most admired football star is Ronaldinho. This football wizard from Brazil undoubtedly occupies a huge position in Zhang Hefeng's heart.
It can be said that Zhang Hefeng's football enlightenment was watching Ronaldinho's games.
It's a pity that he didn't catch up with Ronaldinho's peak period. When Zhang Hefeng really started to understand and watch football, Ronaldinho's back had long gone.
Now Zhang Hefeng can only admire Ronaldinho's former heroic figure over and over again to fill the regret in his heart.
Such a room is definitely only available to a heavy football fan.
"Hefeng, it's okay."
Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng sat on the bed. Although both of them were a little discouraged, Bai Ran still encouraged Zhang Hefeng.
In the past two years of playing football in Spain, Europe, Bai Ran has unknowingly grown from the previous Bai Chen to a man who is not afraid of setbacks when encountering difficulties.
As a famous commentator said, in life, success is only temporary, but failure is the main theme.
How to face failure divides people into different types.
Zhang Hefeng and Bai Ran are like this now.
Zhang Hefeng forced a smile and showed a helpless expression to Bai Ran.
This team is equivalent to his life. For this team, he would rather give everything.
But it is helpless.
Reality gave him a blow.
The former glory is no longer there, and the former teammates have even gone their separate ways.
You say that they are busy with their own careers, can you still force them? Can you still kidnap them?
No one can force others to do anything, including the brothers who have been through life and death.
Seeing that the brothers have their own lives one by one, Zhang Hefeng has an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It is not all distress and discouragement. In fact, to be honest, Zhang Hefeng is also happy for them.
Nanlou's spirit is scattered, and they have begun to make some achievements in their respective fields.
It's good.
At least these players have really put down these memories and really forgotten these things.
This is undoubtedly a relief for them.
Freed from pain.
Only Zhang Hefeng, like a child, is reluctant to come out of his past dreams.
Unfortunately, life is not a novel, there are not so many twists and turns.
"Otherwise, forget it."
Zhang Hefeng said so, looking at Bai Ran: "I think I can't help you with the friendly match over there."
"Why don't you go back and find a team in other leagues, preferably a professional team."
"After all, we are a group of people with strong personalities. Even if we put together a football team, we probably can't reach the intensity and level of a professional team. After all, their discipline is here, what discipline do we have?"
"Weren't you one of us in your previous life?"
"You should know that too."
"What's more, these guys are all doing well now, so don't bother them."
"Let's leave it at that."
Bai Ran sighed and saw Zhang Hefeng's red nose and eyes.
Men have tears, but they never shed them easily.
It's just that I haven't reached the point of sadness.
Bai Ran said, "Hefeng."
"Wait until I finish this season in Spain, and wait until the end of the season next year."
"Wait for me, I will definitely help you rebuild the spirit of Nanlou, and I will pay for it."
"It doesn't matter even if those old teammates don't come. We will open a club and I will find the best scouts in Europe."
"Find the best physiotherapists, the best coaching team, and help you find the best players."
"Let's build this team together again, I promise you, I will!"
At this moment, Zhang Hefeng finally showed a smile on his face.
The hope in his heart seemed to be rekindled again.
The boy who used to be seemed to be back again.
Things have changed, people have gone, but the passion is hard to cool.
The energy in Zhang Hefeng's heart has never been wiped out.
"Okay!"
"Good brother, I'll wait for you next year."
However, at this moment, Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng seemed to hear a voice coming from outside the door...
What is this?
Outside the door, the sound of several people talking suddenly came to mind.
"The best player..."
"Is there anyone in this world who is more awesome than my center?"
"I don't believe it!"
Bai Ran was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Hefeng in surprise.
Fuck! Did I hear it wrong?
This voice...isn't it Wang Yuchen! ?
At the same time, Zhang Hefeng also looked at Bai Ran, and the shock in his eyes was no less than Bai Ran's!
Fuck? Am I dreaming?
Then, another voice sounded!
"Yuchen, stop bragging...I shoveled you a lot when I was a guard..."
"If you are so cruel, why do you just stand stupidly at the door of someone's house and dare not knock on the door..."
This is...Chen Zhijian's voice! ! ?
The two of them flashed with shock again!
This time, they seemed to confirm that they were not hallucinating!
This is fucking real!
Then, the voice outside the door came again: "Stop arguing."
"If I hadn't organized the situation from a God's perspective in the midfield, how could you two have the right to talk?"
"If you are really so cruel, someone should go up and knock on the door!"
"Are you all scared?"
Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng got goosebumps again. This voice was too familiar. It was clearly Zheng Haoran!
At this time, a gentle voice came from the side.
"Okay, stop making trouble."
"I'll do it."
Bang bang bang--
The door was finally knocked, and the next second, it was opened. Obviously, the person inside the door had been listening for a long time...
Zuo Jiajun didn't expect the door to open so quickly. He was stunned for a moment, and in front of him... was Zhang Hefeng with tears on his face!
"Captain Feng, you..."
Swish!
Without saying a word, Zhang Hefeng hugged Zuo Jiajun in front of him!
As the deputy captain, Zuo Chaoren really has to shoulder this responsibility.
After these players rejected Zhang Hefeng, they contacted each other with their mobile phones.
They found that Zhang Hefeng and Bai Ran asked all the players.
Although these people are busy now, they are also forced to do so!
The dissolution of the Nanlou spirit extinguished the fire in their hearts.
But at this moment, Bai Ran's arrival brought them the opportunity to play against Real Madrid.
The fire of passion seemed to be ignited in their hearts again.
After not seeing each other for a long time, I wonder if the old teammates can pick up the energy they had before!
Wang Yuchen, Zhang Hefeng, Zheng Haoran, Zuo Jiajun, Chen Zhijian...
There are many other teammates left.
They hugged each other tightly, just like the scene of scoring a goal after playing a game many years ago.
These people surrounded Zhang Hefeng in the middle, forming a big circle, and everyone hugged each other tightly, tears in their eyes.
"Bai Ran?"
"Bai Ran!"
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Zuo Jiajun waved to Bai Ran, indicating that Bai Ran should join in. Bai Ran stood aside with his hands in his pockets, like an outsider.
"Ah?"
Zuo Jiajun laughed: "Why are you standing there? Aren't you a member of Nanlou Spirit?"
"Me? Am I considered one?"
"You are just my teammates in my previous life. Although I remember you, I have never existed in your world."
"Who said that?"
Zheng Haoran stepped forward and held out his hand.
"From now on, we are still best brothers."
Bai Ran swallowed his saliva and got goosebumps all over his body.
It was all worth it to hear this.
Snap!
The two held hands tightly together, and Bai Ran finally integrated into them.
And at the invitation of Zuo Jiajun, Bai Ran finally returned to the team of Nanlou Spirit.
Hugging them tightly, Bai Ran seemed to have found the feeling he once had.
Nanlou Spirit is back again.
"Congratulations, Team Feng."
"Team Feng!"
"I'm back, Team Feng."
Zhang Hefeng had already burst into tears. His height of 1.73 meters seemed so small in the crowd, but at this moment his body was so huge.
"Okay!"
Zhang Hefeng sorted out his mood and invited all his teammates into the small house. Suddenly, the small house became lively.
"Now I will sort it out."
"There were 18 people in our team before."
"Superman, how many people came today, have you counted them?"
Zuo Jiajun said on the side: "Captain Feng, I have counted them. There are 17 people in total today."
Zhang Hefeng nodded. Including himself, there are exactly 18 people.
Nanlou today, today is considered to be all here.
Bai Ran looked at these former teammates and was also very excited.
"Bai Ran, it's up to you to arrange it next."
"When will the game be held?"
Bai Ran said: "Probably in a few days."
"Zidane gave me a deadline of one week. Now two days have passed, which means that we have at most five days of adjustment time."
"Now we will rush to Europe together. After arranging food, clothing, housing and transportation, there will be about three days of training time for you to recover."
Zhang Hefeng threw away the tension and anxiety in his heart. Now he just wanted to welcome this century battle!
"Okay!"
"Bai Ran, you know the conditions of my brothers. Give me an afternoon and I will find a way to get them the money for the air tickets and hotels. Let's try to set off early tomorrow morning!"
When it comes to the economic problem, they all scratched their heads and looked embarrassed.
After all, they are also children from poor families. Although they had passports when they went abroad for competitions before, that time cost thousands or even tens of thousands, which is not something that ordinary families can afford.
But who knows, at this time Bai Ran burst into laughter.
"Hahaha..."
"Hefeng, your worries are unnecessary."
"Zidane has given me a budget, which is enough for your food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"How about this, you organize the team, and I will let my agent arrange everything for you."
"Including your training base, I have found it for you."
"Ah?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Bai Ran say this.
Is this true or false?
They were already very unbelievable that Bai Ran arranged food, clothing, housing and transportation.
They even arranged a training base for them?
It's impossible for them to use the Real Madrid base, right?
This is too scary...
To be honest, if they really let the Real Madrid base be used for training, they would be a little embarrassed.
After all, a team that has never even been on the top professional stage in China, how can it have such a big card!
This... is unworthy of the position!
Zhang Hefeng frowned: "Bai Ran, stop kidding."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Where did you get the venue from?"
"There are also venue maintenance, labor costs, and people have to suspend business and rent the venue to us. How much does it cost!"
Bai Ran laughed.
"It's free, don't worry."
Everything was in full swing. Bai Ran immediately contacted Alice and asked her to quickly arrange 18 tickets from China to North America.
"North America?"
On the other side of the phone, Alice's voice sounded very surprised, and even with great doubts, thinking that she had heard it wrong!
"Bai Ran, what are you doing again?"
"Who are you going to take to North America?"
Bai Ran said calmly: "Don't ask, just listen to me."
"I'll send you the passenger information when the time comes."
"By the way, book a better hotel in North America, also 18 people, one single room for each person."
Alice was really confused. Why did Bai Ran suddenly want to go to North America again?
Take relatives to travel?
I've never seen such a family go out to play!
Is it convenient to take so many people out to play?
Besides, it's the middle of the season now. Doesn't Bai Ran still have games to play? How can he have time to go to North America to play?
But Alice didn't ask much. She was just an intern agent. She just had to do what the client asked.
As for the client's private life, she didn't dare to care.
The next day, Bai Ran took a plane back to Madrid, Spain, and reported with Zidane.
"Two more days off?"
"Bai Ran, are you going too far?"
Zidane leaned back in his chair and looked up at Bai Ran.
"It's just a friendly match. Is it necessary to delay your training for four days?"
"This is a serious matter for the team. Don't take it lightly."
Bai Ran said, "I'm not taking it lightly, but I'm going this time because the situation is very complicated. The other team is a new team from China."
"Everything is not settled for them. They need some help at any time."
"And they are unfamiliar with the place. Many of them are going abroad for the first time."
"Coach, can you understand?"
Zidane's expression became serious.
"No."
"Team rules are rules."
"No one can take so many days off at will."
"The two days of leave approved for you were approved after I discussed with the senior management and decided to approve it for the preparation of the friendly match."
"Since you are all back, I can't let you take leave at will."
"You take leave today, he takes leave tomorrow, and the other one takes leave the day after tomorrow. How should I manage my team?"
"Will I play in the game?"
Faced with this question, Bai Ran also sighed.
"Zidane."
"I need these two days of leave, just two days."
It is obvious that Bai Ran and Zidane want to play the emotional card now.
Although the two people are very different in age, they are now almost a teacher-friend relationship.
They are also very good friends in private, regardless of you and me.
Bai Ran and Zidane can be regarded as friends of different ages.
Zidane sighed.
"Bai Ran."
"If I could make a decision so easily, I would have given you leave long ago."
"But managing the team is my job."
"You are causing me trouble like this, what should I do?"
Bai Ran looked at Zidane calmly: "You must have a way."
Zidane's face immediately sank.
"This time, I really can't help you."
On the training ground.
The sun was particularly bright, and every Real Madrid player stood on the grass, waiting for today's training.
Zidane finally came over in training clothes, with a whistle hanging around his neck.
"Stand up, girls."
"Let's start training."
Sergio Ramos, as the captain, heard that Bai Ran had asked for two days off, but he still didn't see Bai Ran today, so he said, "Coach."
"Bai Ran didn't come today."
Zidane looked up at Sergio Ramos, then said loudly, "Oh, by the way."
"I want to tell you something."
"Bai Ran has an urgent matter and asked for leave today."
"If you haven't come to training for three consecutive days, two weeks' salary will be deducted."
"If you need anything, just tell me."
After that, the Real Madrid players continued to train, and no one had any doubts...
Two weeks' salary... For Bai Ran, that's hundreds of thousands of euros...
Although it's only two weeks, it's also a heavy fine!
Bai Ran must have something very important, and no one questioned it.
At this time, somewhere in North America.
"Sans, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter."
Bai Ran was holding his phone, just got off the plane.
On the other side of the phone, it was Sanz's voice.
It was the boy that Bai Ran met on the field when Real Madrid played in North America.
The boy had good talent, and he was cleaning a high-quality field here. Now Bai Ran helped him realize his football dream, and Sanz got his wish and joined Real Madrid's B team Castilla, and now he is doing well in the team.
As for the problem of the Nanlou Spirit Training Base, Bai Ran asked Sanz for help and used this field as the training camp for Nanlou Spirit.
"It's okay, Bai Ran, this little thing is nothing to me."
"If you don't mind that field in the future, you can keep using it. I hope you can succeed."
"It's my honor to help you."
Bai Ran said hello to Sanz, expressed his gratitude again, and hung up the phone.
Thinking to himself, it's a good thing that there was this relationship before, and remembered that Sanz still had an idle field here, and it was maintained every day, and the quality of the field was very good.
After getting off the plane, Bai Ran went straight to the hotel booked by Zhang Hefeng and his team. After meeting with Zhang Hefeng, Bai Ran also arranged a car to take the players to the entrance of the stadium.
