Chapter 5 Celebration Banquet
The players of the winning Sharks team were in a good mood and discussed where to go for a meal at night, but Lu Tao, who didn't seem to be in high spirits throughout the game, said to Hua Yong and Li Fayou: "You guys go eat, I still have something to do in the store, so let's go first." β
Li Fayou saw that Lu Tao was about to leave with the car keys, and hurriedly said: "What if you don't go, today we are also giving the new Li Huan a pick-up." β
"I really have something, Brother Li and Brother Hua, I'll treat you another day, Li Huan played really well." Lu Tao squeezed out a smiling face, waved his Chang'an Star in his hand at everyone and left the Celestial Stadium.
Forward Zhao Jinglai said: "Brother Tao is not very happy today, there may be something really wrong." β
Hua Yong didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Maybe, give Li Huan a reception today, I'll have a treat, let's go to a new one, there is a bathing center next to it, everyone take a bath, and have a refreshing meal." β
"It's too low-grade, why don't you go to Shangri-La or Sheraton." Ren Feng smiled and knocked on his uncle's bamboo pole.
Hua Yong laughed and said, "You kid, if you have the ability to take the Sharks to play in the City League, I will take you to Shangri-La every day." β
Ren Feng said disdainfully: "If I had the ability to take the Sharks to play in the City League, I would have played in the professional league a long time ago, and the money is huge, and I want you to take me to Shangri-La." β
Li Fayou laughed and pointed to the Lepu Electronic Team that was playing: "Don't talk about playing in the City League, as long as we can beat the boss of our league, Lepu Electronic Team, your uncle and I will invite the whole team to Shangri-La to eat seafood." β
Ren Feng said stupidly: "Defeat Lepu Electronics? Uncle Li, with our strength, everyone has been undefeated in dozens of games. β
Li Fayou said: "It's not dozens of games, it's 51 games undefeated, Cui Kai's goal is to be undefeated in 100 games, and now he is making appointments everywhere." β
Hua Yong waved his hand, "Don't fix these useless things, go, get in the car, the sweaty body is uncomfortable." β
Ren Feng and Li Huan got into Huayong's Audi, and the other members of the Sharks team, some drove and some rode, left the Celestial Stadium and went to a new hotel to meet.
There were no outsiders in the car, Hua Yong said: "Li Huan, where is your home?" Did you play soccer as a kid? Your basic skills are very solid. β
"Hengshui's, no, it's just playing by yourself, wild road."
"Hengshui, oh, it doesn't seem to be very developed, do you plan to develop here or go back to your hometown in the future?"
"Let's take a look here first, my hometown is too poor."
"Hehe, how to say it, it's not that my old king sells melons and boasts, the development of coastal cities is the result of the right time, place and people, and the mainland will not be able to catch up here in another fifty years, or leave a future, your Xiaofeng told me, I appreciate you, tomorrow you will come to Wanfang Company to work, the human resources department will arrange everything for you according to your situation." Hua Yong said very cheerfully.
"Thank you, Uncle Hua."
"You're welcome, the company is also short of manpower, and I believe that people who can play the ball well will not be bad at work."
After a while, the new hotel arrived, and from the faΓ§ade, it was a medium-grade hotel, and all the members of the Sharks took a shower in the bathing center next door, changed into casual clothes, and had dinner together in the peony hall of the new hotel. Everyone drank and chatted, and Li Huan quickly had a simple understanding of the Sharks.
The Sharks are the earliest teams in the amateur football league, and they were also a quasi-strong team at that time, but with the development and growth of the amateur league, the Sharks have gradually declined.
When the wine was hot, Zhao Jinglai picked up the wine glass and walked to Li Huan's side, and said: "Your assists are really beautiful, no worse than those who have played professionally, come, I will toast you two glasses." β
Li Huan stood up with a wine glass, "You're welcome, your running position is good." β
Ren Feng smiled: "He runs well, do you know why he is a striker?" That's because he kicked his own door as a defender, and there was no way, so he let him be a striker. β
Another striker, Wang Lei, said with a smile: "Didn't Jinglai not put up oolongs later." β
Li Fayou smiled and said: "Yes, don't put an oolong, but he uses his hands to defend the defenders, and he will give the opponent a penalty every game, who would dare to let him be a defender." β
Zhao Jinglai didn't mind the jokes of his teammates, "Don't spoil me, that's because I don't want to be a defender, you just force me to be, you are a striker to score a goal, and the responsibility for losing the ball and making mistakes is on me, I don't make you uncomfortable like this, you will let me be a striker." β
Li Huan couldn't help but listen to it, he was born in professional football, and he really hadn't experienced this kind of interest-based, relaxed and free wild ball, the game at that time was very utilitarian, the purpose was to win and win, and anything could be done for victory, and now it is almost completely playing, winning and losing, he can't help but become interested in playing wild football, and feel that even if he doesn't make a living from football, he will be happy to play amateur games in the future.
The topic of the banquet is naturally inseparable from football, the hottest thing in the island city is about the city league recently, but the players of the Sharks are not satisfied with the development of the city league, Li Fayou said angrily: "The big league is our fans, and now the city football association wants to intervene and engage in the city league, in fact, it is not for the 20 million euros of the AFC, so many retired second-tier professional players participate, let us play, is to let them play with us." β
Hua Yong looked at Li Huan and a few young people with a confused expression, and said: "Originally, there was no salary or bonus for playing games in the major leagues, everyone just wanted to have fun, after all, it was a hobby. However, when it comes to the city league, some teams have invited some professional players who have retired from the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League in order to achieve good results, and they have also offered salaries, training fees and winning bonuses. This makes us clubs who are purely for fun very passive. The addition of high-level professional players can improve the level of the amateur league, but it also deprives many amateurs of the opportunity to play, and in my opinion, the city league is becoming more and more a professional league. β
"Amateur is not amateur, professional is not professional. Four are not like. Zhao Jing said.
Wang Lei sneered: "The Football Association likes to pick the fruits of victory, why didn't they help us solve it when we were difficult to play football back then." β
Li Huan mobilized his memory, thought of the amateur league abroad, and said: "In fact, it can be divided into several levels to play, the strong ones together, and the poor ones together, so that there won't be too much conflict." β
Hua Yong said: "Yes, the Municipal Football Association and the major leagues are discussing the establishment of ABCD four levels of city leagues, the strong in one group, the weak in one group, like the professional league, the top two in each level to the higher league." If you don't want to play in the amateur league, you can make a date to play. It's not much different from the big leagues. β
Li Fayou said: "It's better to play in our big leagues, playing leagues, they are all amateur teams, and personnel come and go, and strength and personnel cannot be guaranteed at all." β
Hua Yong smiled and said, "Let them do it, we don't have the strength, and we won't participate, as long as we have the ball to kick." β
"Well, what are you doing with that idleness, Lao Hua, the sea knights are still not convinced, let's play with them next week." Li Fayou said.
"Okay, until you kick them in." Hua Yong added a general like Li Huan, who was arrogant and dry.
There was a burst of applause on the wine table, and everyone staggered and drank again.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when the banquet was dismissed, Li Huan couldn't leave, so he followed Ren Feng to live in his house, preparing to take a leave to move all his luggage after arranging work tomorrow, and rent a house in the city to live.
