Chapter 1537 Accept It All

Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said, "Vice Chairman Zhao really won the prize. I still have self-knowledge. I am a so-called professional player who plays fish for three days and two days in the net, and I can't afford such a high evaluation."

Zhao Zhenghao said sincerely: "Mr. Xia, I'm not flattering you! China Football needs a star like you so much. In the past few years, the football was chaotic. Of course, the most direct impact was that a group of people went to prison. In the long run, the impact is even more deadly. It has gradually emerged in the past two years. Because of the shady football scene at the beginning, the number of children who learned to play football in those years decreased sharply, resulting in the emergence of a talent gap, which is also the cause of the national team these years. An important reason for the deteriorating performance is that the selection range is too small, and only a few people from one age group are kicked out."

Zhao Zhenghao took a sip of his drink and continued: "Although the domestic leagues seem to be more and more prosperous in the past two years due to the entry of capital, the strength of the national team has not been substantially improved. The Football Association actually attaches great importance to youth training. Everyone knows that football should start from the baby, but it is a long-term job, and it is difficult to see results in the short term, which also makes some comrades who are eager for quick success not very concerned about the youth training work, and some clubs do not Love to engage in youth training, because it is the most convenient to spend money to buy people.”

Zhao Zhenghao and Xia Ruofei said these things, which is a little deep, but Zhao Zhenghao obviously knows that he can't treat Xia Ruofei as an ordinary player-can ordinary players let so many bigwigs greet him? Obviously impossible!

"Our country has a large population, but the football population is smaller than that of many small European countries. This is the reality." Zhao Zhenghao said solemnly, "So the Football Association is also working hard from multiple angles, such as increasing infrastructure construction and promoting campus football. And so on; on the other hand, we have always hoped to set up an idol, through the power of example, to attract more children to learn to play football."

The reason why European football has always been very high, in addition to the natural physical advantages in terms of ethnicity, is more important because of their consistent high-quality youth training, such as Barcelona's youth training camp La Masia, which is famous all over the world. In this regard, as Zhao Zhenghao said, China is still a lot worse than others.

Zhao Zhenghao said with a smile: "We call it the 'Star-Making Movement' internally. Originally, we focused our attention on Wu Lei. We hope that the only Chinese player who is currently in the first team of the five major leagues will be able to support Chinese football. It's a piece of the sky. Now it seems that President Xia is more suitable for this role!"

Hearing this, Xia Ruofei waved his hands and said, "Vice Chairman Zhao, I can't do this! I can't be a role model for children! Otherwise, they think that professional players are just as unprofessional as me!"

After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, everyone couldn't help but smile.

Xia Ruofei is indeed not a qualified professional player, and he does not follow the path of a professional player at all, but he has skills that make countless professional players envious, and he is always a huge topic of conversation, even on the Internet. big red man,

It's no wonder that Zhao Zhenghao hopes to set Xia Ruofei as a benchmark.

It's a very simple truth. People who don't watch football may know the names of the top players in the world, such as Messi and Ronaldo, but they may not know first-class stars such as Neymar, Suarez, and Mbappe. But in China, Xia Ruofei's reputation in the non-fan circle is definitely more than Neymar's.

Zhao Zhenghao said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, this matter can be discussed in the long run. Let's not talk about it now."

In fact, Zhao Zhenghao did not give up his idea, he just felt that the time was not ripe.

According to his vision, if Xia Ruofei can join the Huaxia national team and perform brilliantly in the World Cup qualifiers, especially if he can help the national football team to rush into the World Cup finals again, then there is no need for the Football Association to promote deliberately. Xia Ruofei also Will become a football hero in the eyes of the people.

Zhao Zhenghao still vividly remembers the scene of the national football team rushing into the World Cup in South Korea and Japan back then, it was really a joy for the whole country! After so many years, many people are familiar with every player of that national team.

As expected, Zhao Zhenghao did not mention their "star-making operation", but chatted with Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun. Their topics were varied, from the domestic economic situation to the weather and food in Spain. Zhao Zhenghao can also be regarded as a knowledgeable person. He can talk a few words on basically any topic.

Of course, this is also the reason why Zhao Zhenghao deliberately made friends with Xia Ruofei. As an ordinary player, Vice Chairman Zhao's attitude will become much more reserved.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Leiyun got up with a smile and said, "Mr. Xia, Vice-Chairman Zhao, I'm a little too drunk. Let's go over and make some tea first. Let's talk!"

This box is quite big, and there is a dedicated tea-making area. Of course, tea sets are not as complete as domestic hotels. In fact, there are mainly coffee and chat for guests.

Zhou Leiyun took the initiative to avoid suspicion. Song Wei and Ling Qingxue exchanged glances and stood up at the same time.

Song Wei smiled and said, "Let's go drink tea for a while too!"

Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Are you full? Let's take a break! I'll chat with Vice Chairman Zhao!"

...

The three of Zhou Leiyun went to the cafe area on the other side of the box to drink tea, and Xia Ruofei and Zhao Zhenghao were left at the table.

Zhao Zhenghao said sternly: "Mr. Xia, I think you are very clear about my purpose this time. Here, I will first express my position on behalf of the Chinese Football Association: The Chinese national team is in urgent need of players like Mr. Xia, and we are very grateful to you for playing for the country. Enthusiasm, and at the same time, I will do my best to provide you with all the conveniences that can be provided!”

Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile: "Thank you! I have indeed felt the sincerity of the Football Association."

"So, Mr. Xia has officially agreed to join the national team?" Zhao Zhenghao asked happily.

Xia Ruofei nodded and said: "When I posted on Weibo, I actually made it clear, and now my thinking has not changed. I always think that serving the country is my duty and my duty!"

Zhao Zhenghao couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Xia knows the righteousness and admires it! To be honest, even if you and I are in different places, I am afraid that you may not be able to make such a decision."

Xia Ruofei smiled lightly and said: "Vice Chairman Zhao, I like to talk about ugly things in front of me. I do have some special circumstances, and I need the convenience of the Football Association and the national team."

Xia Ruofei is no longer a three-year-old child, so naturally he will not be swayed or even carried away because of a few high hats.

Zhao Zhenghao said repeatedly: "Of course! Of course! The reason why I came to Spain this time is that I hope to have a thorough conversation with Mr. Xia. After all, I can call the shots on most things, which also saves the trouble of going back and forth for instructions and reports! So, Mr. Xia, if you have any request, feel free to mention it!"

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I think Vice-Chairman Zhao is also a cheerful person, so I won't go around and say it directly."

"Speak directly! Speak directly!" Zhao Zhenghao said with a smile, "It is also appropriate to give special care to special talents. As long as it is within the scope of my authority, I can promise you on the spot, even if I can't be the master, I will also go back and do my best to coordinate, in short, to meet your requirements as much as possible!"

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Then I would like to thank Vice Chairman Zhao first. In fact, I don't have many requirements. First of all, I may not be able to participate in the whole training of the national football team, but I will try my best to participate in several joint training before the game. "

In fact, with Xia Ruofei's ability, he does not need to train with the national football team, and he can also cooperate with others well, but since he has agreed to this matter, he wants to do his best, so he still knows the characteristics of the players in advance, so that in the It can also perform better in the game.

"This is no problem!" Zhao Zhenghao nodded and said without thinking.

This is also expected by Zhao Zhenghao. After all, Xia Ruofei is not a professional player at all, and he still has such a big career. The outside world estimates that his net worth has reached several billions, which is still a wealth on the surface.

The national football training camp lasts at least half a month. How could a boss as big as Xia Ruofei stay in the training base for half a month and participate in the whole training like those professional players?

And Zhao Zhenghao also learned about the situation before he came. Xia Ruofei was like this in the Espanyol team. He usually did not train with the team at all. Second-rate.

The reason why Zhao Zhenghao chose to come to Barcelona to have an interview with Xia Ruofei, and also specially watched the match of the Spaniard against Barcelona yesterday, actually wanted to see Xia Ruofei's fineness.

Xia Ruofei's performance in the game made Zhao Zhenghao no longer have any worries.

Xia Ruofei's ability is much stronger than that of Espanyol players and even most of Barcelona's players. Such a player joining the national football team is simply a super killer! What's the big deal about giving him some special treatment?

What's more, he has already felt the strength of Xia Ruofei's background. Even if he is reluctant, he must agree to this not excessive request put forward by Xia Ruofei.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Thank you! As for the second point, I hope that I can choose whether to participate in the game. I also hope that Vice Chairman Zhao can understand that I am too busy with my usual affairs and may not be able to participate in every game of the national football team... …”

"This..." Zhao Zhenghao couldn't help but hesitate when he heard the words.

The national football team recruited Xia Ruofei, to put it bluntly, to play in the World Cup qualifiers. If Xia Ruofei is unwilling to participate, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Of course, I also know the importance of some of the next games of the national football team, especially a few games that still need to be fought, and I will participate in these games as much as possible. I mean... some are not very good. The important warm-up matches and the second half of the qualifiers, if the national football team has already qualified in advance, or if the qualifying situation is relatively good and the opponent is weak, if I really can't spare the time, I hope the Football Association and the national team can also give understanding. and support."

Zhao Zhenghao also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If that's the case, it should be fine! But... Mr. Xia, although our grouping situation in the top 40 is relatively good and our opponents seem to be relatively weak, it is actually not good. So in the round of 40, I still hope that you can participate as much as possible..."

Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Isn't it? Is the strength of the national football team now degraded to the point where even teams like Guam and Maldives can't win? If that's the case, even if I have one more person, it won't help. Ah! After all, football is always a team sport, and the strength of an individual is always limited."

Zhao Zhenghao said quickly: "That's not true, but the Philippines and Syria in the group are actually not very good at playing. Although our national team has an absolute advantage in the historical records of the competition between our national team and these two teams, in recent years they have Progress has been rapid, and our national team..."

Zhao Zhenghao said that there is no more to say, Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I understand... let's decide for now! The Philippines and Syria are two teams, four home and away games, I try to participate in all of them, and I will play against Guam. For the home game with Maldives, if I am at home, I will try my best to participate! If I am away from home..."

"If Mr. Xia really doesn't have time, forget about the away game!" Zhao Zhenghao said quickly.

Xia Ruofei has already given him a lot of face. If he can't meet even this little request, he will be really naive. What's more, no matter how much the national football team's strength declines, it won't even be able to win the belly of Guam and Maldives. Although the striker of the national football team is not very good at attacking, he still has experience in abuse of vegetables.

According to the analysis of the technical team, in fact, the variables that may change are the games against the Philippines and Syria, while Guam and Maldives, the team generally evaluates that the national football team can win the game by a large score.

Xia Ruofei agreed to play in the Philippines and Syria, and Zhao Zhenghao was actually very satisfied in his heart.

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "It's mainly the needs of these two aspects. Others are some minor problems, such as the inability to concentrate on accommodation with the national team before the game..."

"These are all right!" Zhao Zhenghao said without hesitation.

"Well! In short, as long as I promise to participate in the competition, even if it is a little special in management! But I promise that it will not affect the competition." Xia Ruofei smiled.

Then, Xia Ruofei asked again: "By the way, Vice Chairman Zhao, you agreed to all my conditions like this. There will be no problems with the national football coaching staff?"

Xia Ruofei knows that the current coaching staff of the national football team is from Italy, and the head coach is a world-class coach Lippi. These big-name coaches all require high autonomy, and they don't like the Football Association's interference in their work, let alone. There are special players on the team.

After all, this kind of player is likely to be a destabilizing factor in the locker room.
