Chapter 541 Invitation
"Monsieur Manuel."
"Mr. Reuben."
Fan Bizhuang stepped forward and nodded to the two coaches.
Then he turned his gaze to the side, and nodded expressionlessly to the old man with the mustache: "Hello, sir."
Fan Bizhuang naturally knew the mustache old man in front of him. He had seen it countless times on TV. It was coach Bosque who succeeded Aragones as the head coach of the Spanish national team.However, the identity of the other party has nothing to do with him. There is still a "grievance" between him and Aragones and the Spanish national team. Although he is not angry, he does not want to give him any good looks.
That's fine, plain and simple, just pretend not to know each other.
Fan Bizhuang's indifferent attitude made Bosque who was looking at him very embarrassed, but Pellegrini and Mr. Ruben had a familiar expression. Fan Bizhuang usually has such a "dead face" , They didn't think much about it, they just thought that Fan Bizhuang really didn't recognize the identity of the old man in front of him.
Mr. Ruben looked at the somewhat embarrassed coach of the bullfighting regiment, suppressed his smile, and "rebuked" Fan Bizhuang pretending to be serious: "Fan, please pay attention to your attitude, this is not the attitude you should have towards an old man. "
"Oh."
Fan Bizhuang nodded, accepting the criticism humbly, but his face was still expressionless.
Mr. Ruben "helplessly" spread his hands at Bosque: "I'm sorry, Mr. Vincent, this kid has always looked like this, and we have nothing to do with him."
Bosque waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
Pellegrini coughed twice again, and interjected: "Fan, you may not know this old gentleman? He is coach Vincent del Bosque, uh, the current coach of the Spanish national team. This Come here this time, he wants to get your promise for something."
Fan Bizhuang was stunned for a moment, he was a very smart person, he had been guessing the reason for Bosque's visit, but Pellegrini's "reminder" at this time made him completely understand.
promise?What promise?This doesn't need to be said at all.
A professional player of a club and a head coach of a national team have no previous contact with each other. When the other party comes to him, there is only one possibility, and that is to invite him to the national team.
Fan Bizhuang has to admit that it is extremely sincere for the head coach of a national team to "lobby" for an invitation. An ordinary person would probably nod in agreement without waiting for the other party to explain their intentions in the future.
But Fan Bizhuang is obviously not an ordinary person. He is still worried about Aragones' previous "giving up" and has "grievances" against the Spanish national team, so he does not intend to "give in".
Fan Bizhuang nodded, indicating that he understood, then looked at Bosque, and politely greeted him again: "Hello, Coach Bosque."
"..."
Bosque felt dumbfounded, he didn't believe that Fan Bizhuang really didn't know himself, and he didn't believe that Fan Bizhuang couldn't guess his real intention, but this kid just said, "I just want to pretend to be crazy, can you tell me?" What's wrong with me" attitude, this kind of reckless guy really made him feel very troublesome.
"He's an unusual player. Not just in football, but in other ways."
Bosque suddenly remembered what his old friend Aragones said to him before he left office, and now he can clearly feel that Fan Bizhuang is really a special person different from others, at least this " His "tsundere" temper left him speechless.
Pellegrini and Mr. Ruben had a good understanding of Fan Bizhuang's temperament for a long time, and seeing this kid pretending to be crazy, they secretly laughed.But neither of them said anything. This was Fan Bizhuang's own business, and they had no right to intervene.
Bosque looked at Fan Bizhuang, and Fan Bizhuang also looked at Bosque. The two stared at each other. After an unknown amount of time, Bosque was finally defeated.
"Talk about?"
"Oh."
Fan Bizhuang responded lightly, turned around and left.
"Huh? Fan, where are you going?"
Bosque was a little baffled and didn't understand the other party's attitude.
"Doesn't Coach Bosque want to talk? It's not good to just stand here? Let's go to the rest area over there."
Fan Bizhuang's answer made Bosque smile wryly and shook his head again, and heeled up helplessly.
.....................................................................................................................
"Fan, I believe you should know why I'm here. Then I'll just say it straight. On behalf of the Spanish national team, as the head coach of the team, I invite you to join the Matador Corps."
In the rest area, after the two sat down, Bosque got straight to the point and explained the reason for his visit.
The "misunderstanding" between Fan Bizhuang, Aragones and the national team, as the successor, Bosque is naturally clear, but in his opinion, this does not affect him to throw an olive branch to Fan Bizhuang, after all, the relationship between the two of them There is no "contradiction" between them.
He has great appreciation for this Chinese teenager and believes that he will be the core figure of the Spanish national team for at least the next ten years.After all, last season's league assists leader and the best rookie, his performance is enough to prove how good he is.And this season, Fan Bizhuang's performance is like a blowout, not only leading Villarreal to advance by leaps and bounds on all fronts, but also personally ranked first in the league and the Champions League. An excellent player, he cannot be ignored no matter what—not to mention that he pays close attention to and appreciates Fan Bizhuang, and wants to bring him to the national team. would agree.
No way, regardless of Fan Bizhuang's character and temper, as far as his talent and ability on the football field are concerned, if the national team does not recruit him, he will be criticized by countless fans.
He was already excellent and in good condition, coupled with the strong recommendation of his old friend Aragones, Bosque naturally sent him a call.
But what Bosque didn't expect was that Fan Bizhuang flatly refused, and he refused once, but twice.He made excuses twice and ignored the call of the national team twice, which made Bosque feel that it was not an easy task to get Fan Bizhuang under his command.
Therefore, Bosque did not recruit Fan Bizhuang again in front of the public. He knew that because of Fan Bizhuang's "misunderstanding" of Aragones, even if he called again in the media, the other party would just ignore him.
Therefore, this time, taking advantage of the training camp in Valencia, Bosque secretly came to the small town. He decided to have an interview with Fan Bizhuang to show him the sincerity of the national team.
Fan Bizhuang looked at him steadfastly, without the slightest surprise in his eyes, as if Bosque's words had already been expected by him.Of course, Fan Bizhuang did not face the tension and embarrassment of the big boss of the national team. He pondered for a while and then asked: "You (Spain) just won the European Cup, whether it is in terms of staffing or competitive status. , are at a peak. Since you are already outstanding, why do you still invite me?"
"No team would dislike having a stronger lineup, and no head coach would feel that they have too many excellent players." Bosque said with a smile and shook his head, "In my opinion, you are an extremely good player." Even though you are very young, I am very confident that as long as you maintain your form and continue to play like this, you will become the best player in the world, and you will also become the core figure of the national team in the future. "
"You are outstanding, and our team is also excellent. The two complement each other. It is a win-win for you and our team to be able to climb the highest peak of football glory together."
Bosque looked at Fan Bizhuang and asked a rhetorical question: "I think, an outstanding player like you should have greater ambitions? But whether it is the Golden Globe Award or the World Footballer, if you want to win such a world football award The highest individual honors in the world must be backed by the achievements of the national team. Joining the Matador Legion, you will be able to fill the shortcomings of the national team's honor, and the national team will also benefit from it."
After thinking for a while, Fan Bizhuang nodded: "What you said is very reasonable. I also admit that this is indeed a very tempting invitation for me. But what I want to say is why I must join Spain What about the national team? Maybe I can have other choices."
Bosque was stunned for a moment, and then an expression of Zhizhu's grip appeared on his face: "Are you talking about the Chinese team? Yes, although you have a Spanish passport, you are also a Chinese. If China If you are a member of the European Union, I think you can indeed change your nationality and join the Chinese team."
"But unfortunately, China is not a member of the European Union. As far as I know, it is very difficult to get a Chinese passport, especially for European Chinese like you. Of course, this is not the important point. I think What I'm saying is that the Chinese team doesn't seem to have any interest in you, they have never had the will to recruit you. Another point, with all due respect, the level of football in China is really..."
Bosque spread his hands: "If you join the Chinese team, I think it will be difficult for you to make a big difference. Their strength is not enough to support you to achieve outstanding results in international competitions. To put it bluntly, they even You don’t even have the qualifications to participate in international competitions. Such a team will only become your drag.”
Fan Bizhuang's gaze froze for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but in the end he could only sigh in his heart. Just as Bosque said, the Chinese team has no interest in him at all, and he is also someone who cannot be supported by anything. Dude.
Even if he joins the Chinese team, it is estimated that he can only achieve nothing.
Fan Bizhuang pondered again, looked up at Bosque who was waiting for his answer, and replied, "I need time to think about it."
"No problem. You can call me anytime. Believe me, the door of the national team is open to you at any time, and we are waiting for you to join."
Bosque smiled confidently. He knew that Fan Bizhuang's heart had already loosened. He only needed one opportunity to recruit this young man with unlimited potential.
