Chapter 488: Change Requires Sacrifice

Molly waited for two days, endured several phone calls from the editor-in-chief every day, and did not send back the transcript of the interview with Glory. Two days have passed, and she feels that Rongguang should have calmed down, and she shouldn't get the same answer if she asks him again at this time, right?

So she planned to call Rongguang.

But before she could call Rongguang, Rongguang's call came.

"Sister Mo, what's going on? Why didn't I see a story about me in your family newspaper? As soon as the phone rang, Rongguang asked.

Molly's previous fantasies and luck were suddenly shattered.

It seems that this time the glory is iron-hearted!

"Don't you really think about it, Glory? After this decision is made, you should know what the consequences will be, right? Despite this, Molly still has to remind and persuade Glory that as a friend, she does not want to see Glory fall into the whirlpool.

"I thought about it for two days, and I have no intention of changing my decision, Sister Mo. Hurry up and post what I've said. Otherwise, I'll find another home! ”

Molly knows very well that Glory is a person who does what she says, and since Glory has said so, she naturally can't help it.

"Okay...... I'll send it back. ”

Molly sighed, she had decided. After that, no matter how domestic public opinion criticizes Rongguang, he will speak for Rongguang, so that everyone knows why Rongguang will quit the national Olympic team and refuse to participate in the Olympic Games.

It is impossible for any normal person to give up this opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games. The reason why Rong Guang did this must be more important than his participation in the Olympics to go to the scenery.

And Molly, let all those who scold Glory, those who are puzzled and angry by Glory's decision, know the reason behind this!

"You have to be ready, glory. It may be ...... then."

"There will be a lot of people scolding me, right?" Rongguang asked rhetorically.

"Hmm......" Molly didn't know how to answer.

"It's okay, I can't hear the voice of the country! Ha! Rong Guang smiled.

"So, what about the Chinese fan who once knelt in front of you and told his admiration for you?" Molly asked.

Glory's smile froze on his face.

It took him a long time before he whispered, "Then help me to him...... Let's say I'm sorry. ”

quitting the National Olympic team, naturally I don't want to play with the Football Association, but the damage to Chinese fans is also irreparable......

But even so, he didn't plan to change his decision, so he could only say "I'm sorry" ...... the end.

When Editor-in-Chief Li got the manuscript sent back by Molly, his eyes widened.

He hurriedly made a transatlantic phone call to ask Molly, but he didn't care about the jet lag.

"You're not mistaken, Xiao Mo?"

"That's right, Mr. Li."

"But how is that possible...... Glory...... How can glory ......" Editor-in-Chief Li was so frightened that he stammered.

"I waited two days in the hope that he would change his mind, editor-in-chief. But Glory is more stubborn than we all think. He had made this decision, and he had no intention of taking it back, no matter what kind of turmoil he faced. ”

After listening to Molly's explanation, Editor-in-Chief Li sighed: "Why is this so difficult......

"Everyone has his persistence, this is the persistence of glory, Mr. Li."

"It's a pity, I still want to see his performance at the Beijing Olympics...... It's really beautiful when I think about it, but now I really can only think about it. ”

Eventually, when Rongguang's announcement that he would not participate in the Beijing Olympics was published, it caused an uproar in China, as Molly had predicted.

Although Molly wrote an article after the interview to explain why Glory made such a decision, there are still many people who scold Glory because they don't understand and are shocked.

After all, the World Youth Championships have successfully whetted the appetite of Chinese fans, and everyone is looking forward to seeing Rongguang's wonderful performance at the Beijing Olympics in three years' time, hoping to see Rongguang lead this age-appropriate team to create another miracle at home.

After all, the story of the Netherlands is too far away for them, and they can only feel it upside down day and night through the TV, and they always feel that it is not particularly cool to be separated by a film.

And at the door of my own home, I believe it can be turned upside down.

But at this time, the news came that Rongguang announced that he would not participate in the Beijing Olympics, which was like a bolt from the blue!

Under the shock, it is normal for them to do anything and say anything......

When Molly looked at the feedback in those countries, she thought to herself, fortunately, Glory is in Germany, and she can't hear these voices, otherwise...... Tsk, no matter how big your heart is, you can't bear it, right?

After reading these criticisms, Molly began to write a defense for Glory.

She knew that when she made this decision, she might not really think that far, but it didn't matter.

What does a media mouthpiece do?

It's to make everyone think that this is the truth.

As long as she tirelessly tells everyone that this is the truth, then over time, everyone will really think that what she says is the truth.

The media has the power to manipulate public opinion.

Molly rarely uses this power for her own sake, so she's always considered her work ethic to be okay.

But this time, she's going to break her vows.

She wants everyone to know what to do for Glory and Lu.

He didn't do it for his own selfishness, nor did he do it for the sake of a moment.

There is a deep meaning behind this seemingly impulsive act of his!

“…… Has the Chinese Football Association done less ridiculous things over the years? The '08 Olympic Star' plan, which announced the termination of Sino-German cooperation, is just one of them. Most of the time, when we are faced with such a ridiculous thing, we often don't do anything other than scolding a few words. No one will compare with them, because they all know that there is no point in being more truthful. But Rongguang has been playing abroad for a long time, and his exposure to football is abroad, and his understanding of Chinese football may not be as good as that of an ordinary Chinese fan, so he made a very stupid decision - he wants to compete with the Chinese Football Association! ”

"Everyone has seen the results of the team led by Crowchen, who led a team that was not favored to win the World Youth Championship. And this is the only world champion in the history of Chinese football! After winning this championship, everyone thought that he should continue to work as Crawford, let him be in charge of the training and construction of the national Olympic team, and eventually lead the team to the Beijing Olympics. Even Rong Guang and his teammates in the national youth team think so. But what do we see? Because of the end of the Sino-German '08 Olympic Star' plan, he was also dismissed! Such a capable head coach was taken down by the Football Association just because he had a stubborn temper, a stubborn personality, and did not listen to the Football Association. What a shameful decision! For Chinese football to become better, what do you need capable people or obedient people? Rongguang now wants to compete with the Chinese Football Association! He believes that only this move can make everyone pay attention to this matter to the greatest extent, otherwise this absurd thing may not be long forgotten by everyone, just like other absurd things in Chinese football that we have forgotten......"

"Of course, it was a decision that looked like self-harm. But can Rongguang not know the impact of Lu Dao's decision on him? But he still did it resolutely. For what? I think it's because there is a belief that sustains him and gives him the courage to face criticism and blame. That is the reform of Chinese football, someone must stand up and someone must sacrifice! There has never been a revolution without bloodshed and sacrifice, and if you want to sacrifice, start with him! Now, look at the reaction of Chinese fans and the media after he announced that he would not participate in the Olympics, everyone is talking about it, and although many people are scolding him, we should also note that there are still many voices criticizing the absurd decision of the Football Association...... I think that's probably why Glory made this decision......"

"However, please forgive me as a pessimist - I don't think that even if Rongguang does this, it will not necessarily change the atmosphere of Chinese football - who told me that as a football journalist, I have seen too much of the dark side of Chinese football? They are like the thickest ink, sealing my features, so that I cannot see the slightest light and feel no hope. So I can predict that Rongguang's move, in addition to incurring a lot of infamy for him, I am afraid that there will be no substantial changes to Chinese football...... However, can we give up on changing Chinese football because of this? ”

"No, you can't. Because the new era is won by countless sacrifices. The sacrifice of one person is meaningless, but the sacrifice of millions of people can be turned into a torrent that changes the times! Isn't this how our new China came about? If more people participate in this torrent, we can change the future of Chinese football! So please forgive me for being on the opposite side of the majority, because I think that a hero like Glory should not be insulted! ”

Editor-in-Chief Li made another transatlantic call to Molly: "Xiao Mo, your manuscript ...... It's not good. ”

Molly said, "I know the truth, Mr. Li. But it must be developed, and glory needs our support. It stands to reason that we should all stand up and support him at this time. He gave us so many exclusive stories and helped us increase our sales. He has such a good personal relationship with me...... I can't sit idly by. ”

"I know it, I understand it, and I actually support Glory. But you criticize the Football Association in such a high-profile manner, I'm afraid it will ......"

"Revoke my press card? That's not under the control of the Football Association! Molly scoffed.

"But it will make it difficult for us to cover domestic football, especially the Olympic ...... in three years' time."

"Mr. Li, if I cause trouble to the newspaper, I can resign. But please send this manuscript by yourself. Somebody has to do something, and somebody has to say something. Those things have been done with honor, these words, we should say. ”

Perhaps influenced by the glory of her own pen, Molly also became a little enthusiastic.

If the change of Chinese football requires someone to sacrifice, it must not be allowed to become the only one!
