Chapter 8 The Troubles of "Mr. Nan Guo"
Hearing what Flores said, Chang Sheng froze for a moment.
I convinced you?
What did I say and you were convinced by me?
However, he still understood that he had already passed the test, but he felt that this matter was a bit inexplicable.
"Am I cleared?" He asked just to be sure.
Flores nodded, with a smile on his face: "You passed."
Chang Sheng sat on the chair and did not jump up and cheer. Although this was his last chance after two months of poverty, it was not that he was not good at expressing his emotions, but that after he breathed a sigh of relief, he thought of a more important matter.
So instead of cheering, he directly asked the second question: "Well, Mr. Chairman...can you advance my salary for one month?"
Seeing that Flores did not agree to him, he hesitated and said, "If not, half a month is fine...or a week..."
Then he saw Flores rubbing his forehead and laughing.
"You really are different, boy."
"ah?"
"You're the first person I've ever seen who, instead of celebrating a new job, borrowed money first... Ha! Do you need money?"
Chang Sheng didn't feel that there was anything to be shy about, he simply took out his pockets on both sides: "There are only forty-five pesetas left." He pointed to a large backpack and a suitcase at the door. "That's all I have. If I don't pass, I won't even have the money to go back to Madrid."
Flores was a little surprised. He didn't expect this confident young man to be so embarrassed. It's no wonder that he looks a bit downcast...
"Real Madrid are not misers..."
"During these two months, I spent all my savings just to find a job." Then Chang Sheng briefly explained what he had experienced during these two months.
After Flores listened silently, he really didn't expect that there was such a story behind this young man.
His opinion of the young man was one level higher.
A person who has self-confidence, but is able to endure hardships and stand hard work, does not shrink back in the face of many difficulties, and pursues his ideals...
He took out his wallet, took a stack of banknotes from it, and handed it to Chang Sheng without counting it.
"You don't need to go back to Madrid, just temporarily live in the dormitory in the Estadio_de_las Margaritas Sports City (Estadio_de_las Margaritas). This is given to you in my own name. If you don't have much money, you should deal with it first."
Chang Sheng looked at the stack of banknotes in front of him. He didn't know how many there were, but each one was 10,000 pesetas with the largest face value.
This is definitely not "not much money".
He really didn't expect that the chairman of the Getafe club was a very talkative old man.
Not only gave him a job, but also gave him money. You must know that they met for the first time today, and the meeting time did not exceed half an hour.
He remembered that the two old men he had met in the past two days were both good people. Could it be that his luck is coming from time to time?
Chang Sheng didn't have that kind of pretentious refusal, but ended up with the money: "Even if I borrowed it from you, Mr. Chairman, I will definitely pay you back."
Flores smiled: "I don't want you to pay it back. Work hard, young man."
Chang Sheng nodded vigorously.
After two months of blind eyes, he finally tasted the warmth of the world.
No matter how much he knows about Getafe, he feels that he should really work hard to report the value of the chairman.
I don't know if my brother was like this when he first came to the European continent to find his dream?
※※※
Chang Sheng, who had a good meal in the evening, was lying on the bed in the dormitory of Las Margarita Sports City.
He is happy.
Finally, I don't have to eat that damn hard baguette anymore.
Spanish paella tastes good...
He rolled on the bed, then started thinking.
Everything he experienced today was like a dream. He really didn't expect that he could apply for the job so easily.
The experience of repeated failures in the past two months made him feel that it was not so easy to find a job. In fact, he came to Getafe with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
He even thought about it. If he failed to apply for the job, he would first find a job in Getafe. So he doesn't need the return fare.
Unexpectedly, he succeeded!
He didn't know which sentence touched the old man during his interview today.
But he didn't intend to delve into it, it was meaningless to delve into it.
As long as the results are good, that's a good thing.
He only knows that although he once went astray in the process of pursuing his ultimate ideal, now he is back on the right track!
Now he has another chance to fulfill the dream he shared with his brother-to become a head coach with a long history!
but……
Chang Sheng stood up and started doing it.
If his elder brother is allowed to realize this dream, he has no doubt that it only takes time, and his elder brother will definitely succeed.
But what about myself?
I am not really a coach.
He has never received any coaching training, he just crammed a few days of textbooks, but in fact, he is still at a loss for training the team and being a qualified coach.
This kind of self is an ordinary fan, but he needs to know more than ordinary fans.
But so what?
There are tens of thousands of fans similar to myself in the world, why can't they become coaches? There is always a reason.
Before he crossed over, he heard a piece of news.
It is said that a 21-year-old Swedish college student was hired as a coach by a football club in the Azerbaijan Super League because of his good FM game. Multiple opponents. This should be regarded as the best example of an ordinary fan's dream come true.
But in fact, this brother is not an "ordinary fan".
Before becoming the head coach of this Azerbaijani super team, he had worked as a scout and could be regarded as a football insider. Azerbaijan's superteam picked him as head coach for his talent and ability to scout talent.
There is no way for Chang Sheng to compare with others.
Chang Sheng is a real layman and has no foundation.
So how can he fulfill the dream of himself and his brother and become an excellent head coach?
Slowly learn from practical work?
This seems to be the only way. But Chang Sheng didn't know if his club would give him this time. If he can't show his ability for a long time, maybe he will be fired in less than two months.
Then he will be labeled as a "liar", no matter which team he goes to, he will not be welcomed, and then he will gradually drift away from his dream, and finally completely insulated.
He absolutely does not want to let the opportunity he has so hard won come to naught.
The previous resume was excellent, but it was written by his brother and had nothing to do with him.
I won this opportunity by myself, and I have to write my own resume after that.
But how to write it... What a headache!
※※※
Speaking of headaches, Chang Sheng suddenly felt that his eyes blurred, and the scene in his eyes became blurred.
Depend on! Not so coincidental, is it? I said headache, is it really a headache?
Hey, no!
I don't have a headache... Besides, what's wrong with having a headache and blinding eyes!
Chang Sheng, holding his head, stopped.
Then he looked at the TV in front of him in a daze.
The program is playing on the TV, but the picture is blurry.
It's not the TV, not just the TV, everything he sees is blurry. It's as if everything in the field of view has been applied with a Gaussian blur filter effect.
Do you get dizzy when you are full?
Never heard of it?
Or was it too nervous and too excited, which caused the emotional ups and downs to be stimulated, so I was a little dizzy?
Just when Chang Sheng was thinking wildly, his eyes suddenly regained clarity.
Seeing the clear world in front of his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief—it was normal, and he looked tired. I'd better go to bed early...
He stood up, ready to take a shower, and then went to bed early. The season is about to start, and the training of each team and echelon has begun. Tomorrow will be his first time coaching in the youth team of this team, and it will also be the first time in his life that he has independently coached a team. Team-During the few days in Real Madrid's junior B team under the age of 13, he also had a colleague who had a good relationship with him, Gonzalez, who could help him.
But here, he will not have such a capable assistant. He didn't even know if the people here would welcome him, after all he was an outsider. He has to do everything by himself, he doesn't know anyone, and he has no choice but to rely on his own strength to speak.
This is a very serious challenge and test for him.
Be sure to rest well, if you don't rest well, it will affect your performance on the spot... The first step is very important, even if it is pretending or acting, he still has to pretend to act successfully!
But just as he was about to take a step, his vision blurred again.
"Fuck!" Chang Sheng finally couldn't help cursing when this situation happened twice in a row that he couldn't explain.
At this moment, he heard a cold electronic voice: "The video signal is normal, and the display resolution is being adjusted."
Immediately following his eyes regained clarity...
No, no, things in the room are still blurry, but a clear area appears in the center of the blurred field of vision, but what is clearly displayed in this area is not the furnishings in the room, but an area similar to a computer window.
It looked weird, like re-opening a monitor in front of Chang Sheng's eyes.
After flickering on it for a while, a picture appeared.
Against a black background, a soccer ball in the center is constantly spinning. The place outside the black area is still blurry.
At the same time, the electronic voice sounded again: "Loading, please wait. Loading, please wait. Loading, please wait. Loading, please wait..."
Just keep repeating.
Chang Sheng was dumbfounded at the weird scene in front of him.
It took him a while to react.
"What the hell is this..."
