In the training camp, some players were doing morning exercises, while others had just gotten up, washed up, packed their bags and were ready to leave. The careless workers did not turn off the street lights in time, and they shone dimly under the scorching sun.
This is already the spring of 2005.
Lin Shaodong withdrew his gaze and looked at the clock inside the glass curtain wall. In the lounge at noon, Garcia was making a "careful" gesture towards him, and he responded with an "ok"!
In his mind, the goal last night was still silent, and Lin Shaodong felt that his blood was still boiling. Through the glass curtain wall hidden in the shadows, the young and handsome person wearing the jersey reflected on it, isn't he himself?
Lin Shaodong has never taken his appearance seriously in this way. He just feels that it is not ugly. Compared with those black players, he feels that his appearance is more in line with the aesthetics of European and American white people.
"Lin, you are the most promising player I have ever seen!"
Benitez walked in front, Lin Shaodong followed closely behind.
"When I first saw you in Marseille, I felt that you would definitely succeed on the court."
Benitez has a typical Western appearance, but the bloodshot eyes make him appear to be in poor mental condition. During this section of the journey, he was obviously avoiding this point and letting Lin Shaodong see his tired expression as little as possible.
"We are running out of time, there are only three games left, of which for you, maybe only one is left."
Benitez pointed to the seats next to the grass, and Lin Shaodong nodded. Sit down.
"Arsenal, Aston Villa, and our biggest enemy - AC Milan."
For Lin Shaodong, he can understand everything Benitez said.
¡°Don¡¯t they want me to play in the rest of the league?¡±
Benitez also knows who "they" Lin Shaodong refers to. The default rule in football is that since you can't renew your contract, the rest of the games are inconsequential. No matter how powerful you are, you will still be marginalized.
Marginalized?
A very intimidating word!
"Aren't they worried that I won't be able to work hard in the last game?"
Benitez listened to Lin Shaodong¡¯s words. He showed a helpless smile: "Maybe, but some of them believe that we will win without you. But I didn't agree. I want you to know that I and your teammates support you. As for some people's words or opinions, I hope you don't care. Those people don't have football in their eyes, only interests. I don't want your state to be disturbed, even if it means you can't play."
"Thensir, do you agree?"
"I" Benitez nodded: "I just agree with them to try in the league. When they play against Arsenal and Atherton Villa, I want you to sit on the bench, but you are still ours." One member."
Lin Shaodong nodded.
In Benitez¡¯s impression, he may be worried that he will be disturbed by this. But I'm afraid no team is willing to accept a member like myself!
A player who does not renew his contract is like "if he is not of my kind, his heart must be different."
"Okay, don't worry, I'm not that narrow-minded, and I have to consider some things carefully. I still have a lot of time."
Benitez did not respond, only smiled bitterly: Yes, there is indeed a lot of time for Lin Shaodong, but it is not enough for him and Liverpool.
¡°Well, in the rest of the time I should teach you how to avoid those annoying reporters.
For them, you are their prey. Any words you say will be amplified by them. Even your movements and eyes will be interpreted by others. So what you can do now is to avoid them and reduce public activities. Otherwise, I think many people will see all kinds of tidbits about you. Even if you go to a supermarket to buy something, someone will follow you and take pictures. If you think it's appropriate, it's best to find a team to take care of your life. After the limelight passes, maybe your life will be calmer. Or you may be in training camp during this period, which is also a good idea. "
Benitez talked a lot to Lin Shaodong, and even mentioned Garcia.
"If Luis (Garcia) gets such attention, I think I will not be able to sleep all night. This is what that kid dreams of. As for you, I am not worried. The only thing I worry about is that you can buy food and cook. . Oh my God, if European women knew that Liverpool¡¯s Chinese star Lin was actually a family man, I¡¯m afraid they would go crazy.¡±
Benitez¡¯s worries are not without purpose.
There is a small supermarket not far from Lin Shaodong and a community farmer's market. During the interview that day, it was revealed that Lin Shaodong had continuously taken care of their store.
There are also some Orientals in Chinatown who are happy to sell the items in their hands to reporters, and even claim that they are Lin Shaodong's favorite.
What¡¯s even more disgusting is that I don¡¯t know which reporter bribed the market manager and retrieved the footage of Lin Shaodong going shopping.
¡°Oh my God, Lin Shaodong, dressed in homely clothes, bought a big bag of vegetables and meat. His style of a family man is so adorable that most European girls are so adorable!
"Lin is still a child. He doesn't know what a man should do. Although I admire his behavior on the court, I don't agree with this!"
The punk-style interviewee couldn't help but said in front of the TV screen: "He should go to the bar to have a good drink after the game, and then take one or two beautiful and sexy English girls home. This is what he should do. Of course. , if he doesn¡¯t mind, I think it¡¯s okay to bring a man with me.¡±
""
Lin Shaodong, who was cooking, dropped the spatula with a bang.
"Are you talking about Lin? Oh my God, he is my idol. From the first goal he scored against Manchester United, I became his idol."
Lin Shaodong, who picked up the spatula, finally felt that such an interview was normal.
"What did you say? Lin can actually cook? Aren't you lying to me? Oh, my God! Damn it, I can't even cook eggs now, and my mother is still talking about it all day long, saying why I can The water was boiled and the eggs were not cooked, I just wanted to tell her. Did the damn eggs go in after the water boiled, or Oh my God! Lin can actually cook, it's amazing"
Looking at the TV screen. The boy whose face was covered with freckles and was so plump that he looked like a little meat ball. Lin Shaodong really wanted to hit the other party on the head with a spatula.
Is it really difficult to cook?
Is boiling eggs an impossible task?
Opening a crack in the curtains, Lin Shaodong closed the curtains again, looking at the sun that had set and the group of reporters who were still doing their duty and trying to get first-hand information.
It¡¯s all for work, why should everyone make things difficult for themselves?
Thinking about having to face such a situation the next day, Lin Shaodong really didn¡¯t know what to do. Maybe going to a training camp would be a good idea!
The interview with Sky Sports has been rejected by Liverpool officials. They don¡¯t know whether they made this move out of protecting the players¡¯ personal rights or hoping to reduce Lin Shaodong¡¯s influence. At least for Lin Shaodong, this rejection was very intentional.
The news received from Gerald was good news for Lin Shaodong.
If, everything is a hypothesis.
If Liverpool succeeds in this year's Champions League and wins the final trophy. Then the entire Liverpool team will be received by the Queen, and several players will be decorated.
For exampleLin Shaodong.
From Gerald¡¯s tone, Lin Shaodong could hear the disdain, but also the vague expectation.
Lin Shaodong can understand that the attention that Beckham received when he was awarded the medal aroused the envy of the players.
But Liverpool has never been the favorite of the British royal family, maybe Leeds United. Newcastle is the one, and maybe Manchester United is next.
Liverpool? That's because grandma doesn't care about uncle.
As for why this rumor exists, Lin Shaodong can somewhat understand.
As an Oriental, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
When the national power is weak, the players' personal abilities should be questioned. On the contrary, many people are actually looking forward to it. Of course, if the players themselves fail to live up to expectations, they can't blame others.
As long as you give something, the rewards will far exceed your efforts.
" If before 1997, Lin Shaodong had no hope for this, but now, he has a glimmer of hope, not only for himself, but also for Su Zhen.
Of course, this news is just a rumor and has not yet become a reality.
¡°Whether it¡¯s economic or political, this may be an incentive, or maybe it¡¯s even more of a trap.
Like the drop of honey in a trap, the Chinese people¡¯s good face makes them suffer in many things.
¡¡
It was already the afternoon of the 8th when Su Zhen arrived in England, and the game had already begun when he arrived at Highbury Stadium.It started.
The position left for her was right next to Liverpool¡¯s bench. This time, Su Zhen enjoyed the privileges of Liverpool¡¯s core players.
Lin Shaodong¡¯s replacement is a reassuring move for Benitez. The former understands the coach¡¯s good intentions. As the game approaches, the pressure on Benitez will only increase.
Of course, this is not about the game itself, but some artificial pressure outside the game.
For Lin Shaodong, what Benitez has done is extraordinary and enough to impress him. If it were Marseille's head coach Troussier, although he had the ability to promote himself to the first team, he would never have the courage to confront the management.
? But look at the opponents on the field.
Henry, Bergkamp, ??Vieira, Pires
Lin Shaodong really wants to go out and fight!
When the reporters noticed that Lin Shaodong was sitting on the bench and did not appear on the court, the reporters seemed to smell fishy cats and pointed at him and Benitez.
A long time ago, people began to speculate about Lin Shaodong's contract issues and when he would be abandoned. From a practical point of view, everything seems to have happened a little too fast.
Lin Shaodong actually quickly made it to the bench after becoming a hero. This time Liverpool's opponent is not a rookie, but one of the dominant players in the Premier League in recent years, Arsenal!
And when Su Zhen appeared on the field and made eye contact with Lin Shaodong, the reporters, with great paparazzi potential, put the two of them into the viewfinder and chose a beautiful and personal way of shooting.
Perhaps for the audience outside the court, they are more willing to see the tender core players communicating with their girlfriends "on the radio" besides a fierce battle. This is what the public likes to see! (To be continued)
