Chapter Eighty-Five: The Asian Golden Ball

Follow Zhang Linfan to take a taxi around and around to Xu Genbao Football Base, the open scenery in front of him suddenly made Han Sen's eyes light up when he came to the base for the first time, the base has three semi-standard football fields, and an indoor football field paved with artificial turf imported from Germany. In addition, there is a football hotel with a construction area of about 7,000 square meters, which integrates sightseeing and leisure functions, and generates profits to support the huge amount of money needed to train future football stars.

"This base was built in 2000 and is now listed as a tourist attraction in Shanghai by the Shanghai Tourism Bureau." Zhang Linfan introduced Han Sen like a tour guide.

The two got off at the gate of the base, and several stone tablets of different shapes were erected at the door, with leadership inscriptions on them, one was "strict training, strengthen management, and focus on educating people." "It's Gong Xueping.

"Who is Gong Xueping?" Han Sen asked cautiously.

"Director of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress." Zhang Linfan said, "You can see him tonight, the team asked you to come today, today is the Shanghai Municipal Government to hold a celebration dinner for our team." ”

Han Sen sighed, and then saw another inscription: "The cradle of football stars, the hope of Shijie", and the payment was made by Wu Shaozu.

"You know that."

"Yes, the former director of the National Sports Commission." Han Sen was still looking at the inscription.

"Why, these words touched you a lot?" Zhang Linfan asked Han Sen teasingly.

Han Sen said intently, "No, a few calligraphy words are good. ”

Zhang Linfan was suddenly full of black lines.

After Zhang Linfan took Han Sen to live in the base dormitory, Han Sen did not see Xu Genbao again until the 2007 National Second Division League champion Shanghai East Asia Football Team's victory and success celebration party in the evening. Gong Xueping, chairman of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress, and Yang Dinghua, a vice mayor of Shanghai, attended the celebration and delivered speeches. At the celebration meeting, Yu Chen, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Shanghai Sports Bureau and Chairman of the Shanghai Football Association, read out the commendation decision of the Shanghai Football Association to Shanghai East Asia Football Club, and the Shanghai Football Association and East Asia Group each gave the team a commendation of 300,000 yuan.

After the leader's speech, it was a traditional Chinese-style banquet, Han Sen and Zhang Linfan and a group of eighteen or nineteen children sat together, although they were not a few years older, but they always felt that the age level had been lowered.

"Han Sen, you're finally here." Xu Genbao, who did not accompany the team, walked up to Han Sen with a smile after greeting the leaders, "Come, accompany me to toast a round of wine." ”

Follow the boss out to toast, this should be the glorious mission of the bigwig-level players in the club, but the bigwig Zhang Linfan is less than twenty years old, and it is estimated that it is difficult to say a kind word, and Han Sen is not only a real college graduate, but also has just returned from the national team, and he is also a new recruit of the club.

So, Xu Genbao took Han Sen to go around again in front of the wine table of leaders from all walks of life, and everywhere he went, he introduced Han Sen, who was a new foreign aid transferred to the Shanghai East Asia Club and a new member of the National Olympic team. People who pay attention to Chinese football have naturally paid attention to the Four Nations Invitational Tournament in the past few days, and after paying attention to the game, they will naturally not forget this substitute debut, the No. 13 player who scored three goals in two games, and they all expressed their admiration for Xu Genbao's vicious vision. Although Xu Genbao only praised Han Sen in front of everyone, he did not brag about himself, and such words always made Han Sen feel uncomfortable.

Maybe I was too young to be suitable for such an occasion, Han Sen laughed at himself and tried to find an excuse for himself, and then took the opportunity of everyone's conversation to fight and retreat.

"Hey, Han Sen." A middle-aged man in the corner beckoned to him, Han Sen involuntarily approached the chaotic lights, and a middle-aged man with high shoulders smiled at him, "Come here, come here and sit down." ”

Fan ...... Eldest brother. "Han Sen saw Fan Zhiyi for the first time, and he didn't know what to call him.

Fan Zhiyi pressed Han Sen to the seat next to him: "I can be your uncle, but the eldest brother is not wrong, how about it, I only arrived today?" ”

Fan Zhiyi is a native of Shanghai, a representative of Shanghai football, and a proud disciple of Xu Genbao, it was not surprising that he originally appeared on this occasion, but Han Sen was not mentally prepared in advance, which made him nervous for a while. As the former captain of Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai International, Fan Zhiyi has witnessed the glory of Shanghai football since its professionalization, including the league championship and the Shanghai derby, and personal accolades include Footballer of the Year, League Player of the Year, Golden Boot Award, Asian Cup Team of the Year and Asian Games Player of the Year. As early as 1998, Fan Zhiyi was ranked 16th among the 30 best Asian footballers of the 20th century by Asian sports journalists and football experts organized by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics, and in 2001, he was elected Asian Footballer of the Year by the AFC, which is also the highest place that a Chinese male football player can stand on so far.

And Fan Zhiyi, who was in front of Han Sen at the moment, was wearing an ordinary black T-shirt, and his body was fat, the only thing close to the image in Han Sen's impression was that he had messy hair except for his towering shoulders.

"Yes...... It's just here! Han Sen didn't know what to say to Fan Zhiyi.

Fan Zhiyi obviously drank a little wine, and talked a lot, talking from the National Olympic team to the national team, but Han Sen and Fan Zhiyi have been separated for so many years, and the national team has been a thing, and Han Sen has only briefly experienced the National Olympic life for a little more than a week.

Fan Zhiyi talked for a long time, looking at Han Sen's stuffy gourd appearance, and he was also a little helpless about Niu playing the piano, so he had to pat him on the shoulder and pretend to be old and said: "Young man, play well, you will definitely be better than me in the future, I am optimistic about you!" ”

Han Sen hurriedly nodded at this football senior, although Jia Xiuquan, the assistant coach of the original National Olympic team, is also a generation of celebrities, but compared to Fan Zhiyi, who has watched playing football since he was a child, his motivation is undoubtedly more in place, but whether he can be stronger than Fan Zhiyi, Han Sen dare not guarantee, after all, someone else is Mr. Asian football!

Han Sen easily returned to his banquet, and hurried to eat and eat, Zhang Linfan smiled at him next to him: "Is Uncle Fan praising you again that you will definitely be better than him in the future!" ”

Han Sen was sweating profusely: "Is he often so bragging?" ”

Zhang Linfan said with a smile: "It's not often, even if you drink, you will blow like this." ”

"And what is he doing now?" Han Sen asked.

Zhang Linfan said: "I don't know what he's doing, it seems that I heard Coach Xu say that he wants to invite him back to be a coach." ”
