There are only a few scattered staff members in the lounge. Shi Lei, as the temporary reporter of Eight Star Sports in Europe, is still an international student.
¡°Just because his family works in a TV station, and he also likes this industry, he writes a lot of news about European football and earns some royalties.
This time, because the situation was more urgent, Shi Lei got a good opportunity. Even his colleagues who resisted the camera were also his alumni.
The interview was conducted in the form of a transcript, with a few sporadic photos taken during training and in the lounge. The camera was turned off and handed over to the training ground staff.
"I feel so much more relaxed when I put that thing down!"
Lin Shaodong looked at Shi Lei with a student look on his face. Although he pretended to be calm, he was not a qualified reporter!
"Mr. Lin? Is that what I call you?"
Shi Lei said nervously. He felt that he was reckless. When he received the call from his father, he felt mixed emotions.
Of course he is happy because he has a reasonable reason to interview Lin Shaodong. As a super idol of Chinese people in England and even Europe, he who studied in the UK is very aware of Lin Shaodong's current reputation!
What worries me is Lin Shaodong's pride, even arrogance. Although Lin Shaodong is amazing on the court, he is too low-key off the court, even to the point of being silent! Reporters said that he was too inhumane, and Shi Lei was somewhat affected.
How can you interview such a player?
Do you want to be like Serena, shouting on the TV station to make you have an unforgettable night?
Shi Lei looked at his slim figure.
Huh? I'm a man, no color to sacrifice!
In the morning, I grabbed my classmates, carried a temporarily rented video camera, and brought a voice recorder. Okay, plus the questions I thought of at the moment, and the fax from Eight Star Sports to prove my identity!
Shi Lei knows. The external relations department of Eight Star Sports must have informed the relevant departments of Liverpool in advance, otherwise he would not have come in so easily.
"Just call me Xiaodong, my friends all call me that!"
Lin Shaodong poured water and served tea very naturally. He could see the uneasiness between Shi Lei and his friends, and he was like a master, so natural here!
"Xiaodong?"
Shi Lei was delighted. While saying excitedly: "So, are you really not as old as me?"
"Of course. If it weren't for playing football, I would still be in my sophomore year, and you would have graduated from college and gone abroad to further your studies."
"Haha, I'm only a sophomore!"
Shi Lei said excitedly: "I can't believe it!"
"Yes, I feel like I'm in a dream myself. But reality tells me that this is not a dream, and I can still make the decision!"
"I knew you before you came to Liverpool. When you were still in Marseille, I told my classmates, did you see them? Chinese people. You don't know how surprised those white people are, it seems that Chinese people are not You look like you can play football. I watched every one of your games without missing a beat. The football players in our school all say you are the number one player in China!"
Shi Lei behaved like a fan, but it was this relaxed atmosphere of conversation that prevented the gap between the two.
?Perhaps the identity of students makes the distance between the two infinitely closer!
"Don't you have time during the Chinese New Year? Why didn't you go back? Your parents must miss you very much, right?"
Shi Lei was a little surprised that Lin Shaodong didn't go back during the Chinese New Year. He is already a star. As long as he has time, money is not an issue!
"Since the end of last year, I have gone back twice. During the Chinese New Year, competitions are more frequent, and the time spent going back and forth is too much, which affects the competitive state. I might as well not go back. If it's not possible, I can bring my parents over. It just allows them to come too. Look at the world outside.¡±
"Um I heard that your girlfriend is your classmate?"
Shi Lei has some gossip. This is a very personal question. He is not sure whether Lin Shaodong will answer it!
"We are alumni, but we are not in the same class. She came here after her freshman year."
Lin Shaodong seemed very calm and did not hide anything!
"So, you are traveling to the end of the world for love?"
"It doesn't count!"
Lin Shaodong said a little shyly that his relationship with Su Zhen was relatively strong, like a flame, but when the two started dating and got together, the flame began to stabilize.
It¡¯s not so hot or dazzling, but it¡¯s long-lasting.
"Her name is Su Zhen. Her family conditions are much better than mine. She can like me."??Poor boy, you are my blessing. When she went abroad, she asked me to wait for her for a few years. We also maintained frequent communication during that time, because I knew that she was afraid that I would worry, so my income has been much more since playing football, but I remember, I'm still the same person I was before. "
"Having someone who likes you and who you like is really happy!"
Shi Lei didn¡¯t know if he was thinking of his girlfriend in China. After studying abroad, my girlfriend¡¯s phone calls became less and less frequent, and the relationship between the two became weaker and weaker with the distance!
Look at this couple, although they are not married, they look like they have been married for many years!
It¡¯s so enviable!
"I remember when you transferred, many giants were interested in you, including Manchester United and Bayern. Chelsea also pursued you. How did you choose Liverpool in the end? There were many rumors from the outside world!"
Lin Shaodong smiled when he saw Shi Lei finally looking like he was being interviewed!
"When Su Zhen and I were dating, we both thought that the money was enough. She didn't care about the money, she just wanted us to be together. So when she finishes her studies, we can go for a walk together. "
¡°So when I signed the contract, I didn¡¯t want my personal freedom to be restricted, because modern football involves too many things, and my previous agent was not a professional, so I preferred to have the initiative in my own hands. And Liverpool is the most sincere: the main position, there are not many restrictions, and the atmosphere in the team is also very good. Although the results may be a little worse, I believe in my own strength. As for the rumors from the outside, I also know that I fell into In the eyes of money, no benefit is given to the club. There is no need to explain such things. The more you talk about it, the more mistakes you make, and people will see it over time!"
Shi Lei nodded: "You have shattered these rumors with your consecutive goals and assists. The tabloids in London have already started to raise the flag. Before I came, they even rumored that Chelsea offered you a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds. They wanted to work next They brought you in last season, and Manchester United also offered you a weekly salary of 60,000 yuan! What do you think of these rumors?"
Lin Shaodong waved his hand: "As the old saying goes, no one has too much money, but it must be worthy of one's worth. You can get a weekly salary of 80,000 yuan a season, but what about two years? What about three years? Football is not about making a fortune and leaving. Trade. Being able to play games and improve one's personal abilities. Sometimes it is far more important than the visible money. And these are just rumors. My loan agreement with Liverpool will not be completed until the end of this season. During this period , I don¡¯t care about everything outside, as long as I play football with peace of mind. Time is too abundant for me now. If I don¡¯t seize this opportunity to improve my abilities, then I will be the biggest fool. I also believe in myself, There are many players who have won more than me, but among them, there are not many who are more famous than me. Maybe I am not the most expensive one, but I will be the best one, and the money will come sooner or later. , there is no need to rush.¡±
Shi Lei couldn't help but applaud, which attracted the sideways glances of the staff, who didn't know what he was doing. Lin Shaodong was saying something to reporters in Chinese, but one can imagine that Lin Shaodong's words scratched Shi Lei's heart!
"awesomeness!"
Shi Lei raised his thumb: "I have been in England for more than two years, which happens to be the first period of our overseas players. Although you are my first interviewee, I want to say, man. Pure man."
At noon, scattered snow began to fall in the sky in Liverpool, and Lin Shaodong called home. It means that friends are going back for lunch at noon!
Shi Lei brought his companions with him, and he was considered a member of the food gang.
Meeting Su Zhen for the first time. This young girl studying abroad, already dressed as a housewife, wearing an apron, opened the door for Lin Shaodong, and appeared in front of the two of them stunningly.
Shi Lei couldn¡¯t describe what kind of feeling it was!
In winter in Liverpool, there is snow and the sky is a bit gloomy.
But Su Zhen¡¯s smile seems to have the effect of clearing away the clouds and revealing the sun!
Shi Lei secretly raised his thumb towards Lin Shaodong and said, "I finally know why Xiaodong came to Europe."
Lin Shaodong laughed loudly: "You shouldn't say that, but why I must go home after the game instead of lingering outside!"
"If you dare to stay out overnight, I won't let you in the house!"
Su Zhen took the spatula and said fiercely.
It¡¯s just that that delicate voice is not intimidating at all!
Walking into the hut and watching Su Zhen busy in the kitchen, Shi Lei glanced at this small home that was not spacious, but warm!
"Although it's not a mansion, it's very warm. It will definitely be lively when I have children in the future!"
The room is not big but enoughFive people live together, and a few friends can be accommodated temporarily.
"Su Zhen and I are both still children. If we really had children, we wouldn't know who would take care of whom!"
Lin Shaodong told a moderate joke, which was a bit cold. Fortunately, Shi Lei was also heartless.
Su Zhen¡¯s lunch was very sumptuous, combining Chinese and Western cuisine.
The steak is very cooked and delicious. This is Su Zhen's best Western food.
Lin Shaodong looked very hungry at the dinner table. He was not polite. As the hostess, Su Zhen also wanted to invite Shi Lei to sit down!
"Xiaodong rarely invites friends over. He was also a few teammates before. He is very happy that you can come."
¡°We are honored to be friends with Xiaodong!¡±
Shi Lei and Shi Lei raised their juices to indicate that the atmosphere of the meal was very good, they were all young people, and it was much better than the insincerity and coercion in the hotel.
"I've been here for two years, and I'm still not used to the food here. Every time I go back, my old classmates and friends ask me to treat them to Western food. I'm surprised. If it's authentic, it's a bit fresh to eat occasionally. If you really eat it every day, it will be really unpalatable, so you might as well go to KFC."
Shi Lei obviously has no enthusiasm for Western food, but steak is a Western food, but it is made in the Chinese way!
With the addition of green onion, it tastes really good.
The pasta made by Su Zhen is also very delicious. It is very light in the mouth, but it has an aftertaste!
"Thank you for your hospitality. Before we came here, we were still worried about lunch!"
As he said that, Shi Lei burst out laughing, looking very manly! It's just that his figure is a bit slender, which is inversely proportional to his volume!
Lin Shaodong didn¡¯t eat very quickly, but he ate a lot, and he and Su Zhen had a good understanding at the dinner table.
Sometimes when Su Zhen needs something, Su Zhen can always put it in front of Lin Shaodong first. When Su Zhen needs it, Lin Shaodong can push it over!
The two people are obviously very familiar with each other.
The weak music played by the speakers in the room is very comfortable and has a petty bourgeoisie atmosphere!
"Xiaodong, didn't you say that Su Zhen wants to go into business after graduation? I think it would be good to open a restaurant, a Chinese-style Western restaurant. Many players studying abroad are doing this now!"
"It's okay for our own people to eat, but it would be boring if we treat it as a business."
Lin Shaodong wiped his mouth. He was the first one to finish eating. Shi Lei and his companions were a little embarrassed to eat in large gulps, obviously they couldn't let go in front of Su Zhen.
"We haven't thought about it well. Anyway, we still have time. We will discuss this matter later. How about it, is Su Zhen's craftsmanship good?"
¡°Isn¡¯t this just okay? It¡¯s already very good.¡±
Shi Lei felt that the trip was worthwhile. The most important thing was that through lunch, he had narrowed the distance between him and Lin Shaodong!
Maybe after graduation, I can be a reporter stationed in Europe with peace of mind, follow Lin Shaodong's schedule, travel around, see the scenery I want to see, and learn more about European customs and customs!
In my spare time, I can also write travel notes, life insights and so on.
Although the era of literary youth is gone forever, men with petty bourgeois sentiments have no worries about sales. When they meet the right one, they may be able to express their exotic feelings. When they wait to return home, they have become Famous xx reporter!
"In the next game, you will face the strongest opponent in the Premier League this year. Are you worried?"
After dinner, on the balcony on the second floor, Shi Lei took the voice recorder and started to choose appropriate questions according to the management in his memory!
"We defeated our opponents in the Champions League, leading by a big score, and our morale was high. However, Chelsea lost to Barcelona 2-1 in the previous game. Fortunately, they got a valuable away goal. So their focus has to be put on In the Champions League, we don¡¯t worry about our opponents; at this time, our opponents worry about us.¡±
"One hundred percent, one should have reservations, right?"
"That's what it means!"
Lin Shaodong smiled: "But you are wrong about one thing. Chelsea is not the strongest this year. They are just the most popular. They happened to encounter Manchester United in the transition period, so they had a chance. In the Premier League, Liverpool's opponents There is only one and that is Manchester United!"
Manchester United?
Shi Lei was thinking!
Looking up at the two people in the sky, the white snow is falling, and pedestrians walk under their feet, making a creaking sound!
Not far away, Su Zhen walked slowly with a cup of black tea after dinner. Lin Shaodong stood up and greeted him. At the end of the room, a young man with a camera was not far away, recording everything here!
This is the benefitPu, this is Lin Shaodong¡¯s home! ! ~!
