Fox in the Penalty Area

Qin Lin stood on the small terrace on the second floor of his house, looking towards the backyard of the villa diagonally ahead.

There is a small football field surrounded by a net wall.

The once lively football field is now very quiet.

But Qin Lin still stood there watching, without looking back.

Not long after, he saw a figure coming out from the basement floor of the villa, dragging a Decathlon handmade trailer, which was filled with various training equipment.

The man pulled the trailer to the small court, and began to remove all the things in the car one after another, and then placed them in the middle of the court.

It took him a while to set up the training scene because he was alone.

There are pyramids, rope ladders, poles, and logo discs, etc., and the placement is exactly the same as normal training.

After doing all this, the figure began to warm up on the court.

Even though there was only one person, he did not slack off, and every warm-up session was done very seriously and to a standard.

"You are here, I've been looking for you below..." His wife Wang Yuan's voice came from behind Qin Lin, and she also walked up to the terrace, and saw the figure warming up on the court at a glance.

She knew why her husband was here.

So she stood with her husband in the cold wind at the end of December and looked over.

After watching it for a while, she murmured: "Hey...Old Qin, do you know what I think of when I see this?"

"what?"

"A plot in a TV series: Xu Sanduo guards the barracks of Gangqi Company by himself, and insists on cleaning. When he goes to the cafeteria to eat, he has to sing before going in..."

Qin Lin didn't let his wife finish speaking, and suddenly yelled in the direction of the court: "Morikawa Junpei!!"

The figure who was warming up on the court shook for a while, then turned around to look at Qin Lin, and stood at attention.

"Go and open the door for me!" Qin Lin waved his finger in the direction of the front yard door of the big villa.

Morikawa Junpei hastily turned and ran to the front door.

Qin Lin also turned around and walked down.

"Hey, why are you going?" His wife asked from behind.

"Give him a hand, he's practicing a fart by himself."

※※※

Junpei Morikawa made a snake-like maneuver in the gap between the four poles, twisted around the poles, and ran to the right.

After running to the place where a red logo disc is located, he stopped suddenly and leaned over to turn up the logo disc with his hands, then turned back and sprinted to the other side.

At the same time, Qin Lin passed the football under his feet.

Junpei Morikawa caught the ball with his left foot and at the same time slid the football to his right foot to shoot.

The football was kicked into a small goal not far away.

Qin Lin looked down at the stopwatch in his hand: "The speed is obviously slower than before, you are tired, take a rest."

Junpei Morikawa gasped heavily and said nothing, just nodded.

Qin Lin put on the coat Junpei Morikawa had taken off for him, and the two of them sat on the folding chairs on the sidelines to rest.

"I wanted to ask you during dinner yesterday...the team hasn't started training yet, why are you back so early?"

Junpei Morikawa took a sip of water before saying, "I think... I want to come back early and train in advance to adjust my physical condition."

"Where are your parents?"

"They farm in the countryside."

"No, I mean they are willing to let you go?"

"They know that's how professional players are. I told them the club asked me to go back and they said yes."

"Hey kid, the club didn't ask you to come back so early!"

Morikawa Junpei smiled and said nothing.

The chat came to an abrupt end.

After a moment of silence, Morikawa Junpei got up from the chair and threw off his coat: "Brother Lin, shall we continue?"

Qin Lin got up and asked "casually" suddenly: "Do you hate the club now?"

Junpei Morikawa was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and grinned at Qin Lin: "No, brother Lin. The offer from the other party was indeed not very good at that time..."

Although Junpei Morikawa was not the main midfielder of the Japanese team in the World Cup, his performance as a substitute was very good, which also attracted the attention of Europe.

But the Shining Star Club rejected all bids for Morikawa Junpei.

From the standpoint of Shining Star Club, this is understandable. After all, Shining Star had lost three main players one after another at that time. Wang Guangwei, Xia Xiaoyu and Zhang Qinghuan all left the team that summer. If Morikawa Junpei were to leave again, half of Shining Star would be gone up.

For the flash star who needs to avoid relegation, defense is very important. Therefore, the midfielder Junpei Morikawa must not leave the team.

At that time, Dong Wen really forced Morikawa Junpei to stay under the "international pressure".

"I heard that Hiroto Motegi was very dissatisfied with you at the beginning, so he didn't recruit you to the national team to participate in the Asian Cup this time?"

What Qin Lin said was a "rumor".

Hiroto Motegi, the head coach of the Japanese national team, is very optimistic about Junpei Morikawa, and he made four consecutive substitute appearances in the World Cup. Although they all came off the bench, it can also be said that they got a stable chance to play. After all, the Japanese team has a lot of talents, and it is not easy to be able to play as a stable substitute.

In addition, Hiroto Mogi also praised him in public, thinking that he will shine in Europe like his predecessors.

This is not a rumor, this is something everyone knows.

But after Junpei Morikawa failed to play in Europe, Hiroto Motegi's attitude towards him changed 180 degrees-he did not express his dissatisfaction with Junpei Morikawa on any occasion, but since the World Cup, Morikawa Junpei was never selected for the Japanese national team again, and Junpei Morikawa was not injured, so he lost the national team inexplicably. Perhaps it can prove that those rumors about the tense relationship between the generals are not unfounded.

As for why Hiroto Motegi was dissatisfied with Junpei Morikawa, who he was originally optimistic about, so dissatisfied that he was unwilling to recruit him into the national team again, there was such a rumor in the market:

Motegi Hiroto believes that at the critical moment when Morikawa Junpei had the opportunity to transfer to Europe to play football, he did not stand up to put pressure on Anton Shining Star, and did not firmly express his willingness to leave the Super League to play in Europe... This behavior is very The performance of cowardice and self-improvement.

He felt that since Junpei Morikawa is content to stay in a low-level competition like the Chinese Super League and is unwilling to go to Europe, then no matter how talented he is, it is useless. Their own national team does not need such weak and incompetent people.

In this way, Morikawa Junpei said "sayonara" to the Japanese national team after four substitute appearances in the World Cup (Note 1).

Of course, the above are all rumors. Neither Junpei Morikawa nor Hiroto Motegi, the two parties concerned, have come forward to respond to these rumors. .

Hiroto Motegi explained why he didn't recruit Junpei Morikawa, but he just said that Junpei Morikawa still can't meet the requirements of the national team.

What about Morikawa Junpei himself? In the face of the Japanese reporter's question, he also said, "I will work hard to improve and strive to make myself meet the requirements as soon as possible."

The two don't seem to have any contradictions, it's just "technical reasons".

However, when three European clubs were seeking to purchase Junpei Morikawa, Junpei Morikawa did appear to be very quiet. He even deliberately refused to accept interviews, not only from Chinese media, but also from Japanese media.

He did not publicly express his desire to transfer to Europe in the media, nor did he reveal his inner thoughts through any channels-Morikawa Junpei does not have many friends in Japan. If it must be said, Tatsuya Sugiyama is barely one. The Japanese media went to Tatsuya Sugiyama to find out what Junpei Morikawa thought. Tatsuya Sugiyama said that Junpei Morikawa had never told him about the transfer...

Therefore, Junpei Morikawa did not put pressure on the Anton Shining Star Club regarding the transfer.

This kind of ambiguous attitude made the rumor like wildfire on the prairie, and was quickly accepted and believed by most people.

Faced with Qin Lin’s question this time, Morikawa Junpei nodded to the rumor for the first time: “Supervisor Mogi thinks I should go to Europe in the summer...but he doesn’t look down on the level of the Chinese Super League, but thinks that I will continue to stay in the Chinese Super League Playing football can no longer improve."

Qin Lin asked again: "Then why didn't you fight for it at the time? I heard from Lao Zhao that you never communicated with the club about this matter... Whether you can go to Europe or not is one thing. But why didn't you express your opinion?" , I didn't want to understand."

Junpei Morikawa picked up the jacket he threw off just now from the ground, and put it on again: "Shanxing is very good to me, and I have a good life in Shanxing. I don't want her to really downgrade. So I really did It's a little hesitant."

Qin Lin's eyes widened. He didn't expect Junpei Morikawa to have such a simple reason.

"It's Hu Lai, do they have any requirements for you?"

"No." Junpei Morikawa shook his head, "It's my own idea, I really want to help Shining Star to avoid relegation."

After Morikawa Junpei reconfirmed, Qin Lin was silent at first, but soon he said again: "I'm sorry, Morikawa..."

Junpei Morikawa was surprised: "Brother Lin, why did you say sorry to me?"

"The club treats you differently from Chinese players in the treatment of overseas students..." Qin Lin explained.

Whether it is Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei, Zhang Qinghuan, or Xia Xiaoyu, when a European team comes to offer an offer, no matter how much the Flash Star asks, at least they maintain an attitude of being willing to listen to the offer. That is to say, they do not refuse to send players out, and are even willing to send them out.

But when the same thing happened to the Japanese player Junpei Morikawa, the club simply and rudely rejected all offers for him without even discussing with the player himself. There is no chance for European teams to bargain at all.

This is indeed a very obvious difference in treatment, which shows that the Shining Star Club does not regard Morikawa Junping and Hu Lai as the same players.

Under such circumstances, Morikawa Junpei still chose to stay to help the team relegation out of love for the club...

He also did what he said. Flashing Star's success in staying in the Super League this season has a lot to do with Morikawa Junpei's outstanding performance.

That's why Qin Lin felt guilty towards Junpei Morikawa.

After listening to Qin Lin's explanation, Morikawa Junpei seriously retorted: "This is not considered discrimination, Brother Lin. Because Hu Sang and I are different. I know that Hu Sang, Lao Wang, Brother Huan, Xiao What does it mean to Chinese football for Yu and the others to play in Europe, so it is normal for Hu Sang and the others to have special preferential treatment from the club in the transfer. But for me, the club also performs normally, and there is nothing to be sorry about. No What team is willing to let go of important players at will?"

Speaking of this, he confirmed to Qin Lin: "I'm considered an important player of the team, Brother Lin?"

Qin Lin nodded: "Of course, absolutely."

After getting an affirmative answer, Junpei Morikawa smiled again: "Brother Lin, let's continue..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man's hoarse singing suddenly sounded from the mobile phone placed on the chair:

"だから真っ直ぐ真っ直もっと真っzhigu生きてえ..." (Note 2)

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was the ringtone of the mobile phone. Morikawa Junpei did not answer the call immediately, but stared straight at the caller's name displayed on the screen:

Mr. Mitsui

his agent.
