Golden Greenery

Chapter 883 Old Milu’s birthday wish

Zhuo Yang was in a very bad mood. The depression from his engagement trip to Vaduz and the epic defeat to Brazil were superimposed, which was a double setback in career and love. No one else could be happy.

He was upset, so he simply closed himself up. It was even difficult for the accompanying CCTV reporters to photograph him.

After Milu arrived at the hotel, he first went to Nigeria, and then came to the floor where the Chinese team was stationed. Although the team was completely different from when he was in office, his face still worked for everyone who didn't recognize him.

After a round of greetings, Milu didn't see Zhuo Yang, so he asked to meet him. The team leader Yang Chen told him in an awkward manner: Zhuo Yang was doing physical training in the gym, so it was best not to disturb him.

It's that Yang Chen. Zhuoyang has the power of suggestion and veto for all appointments in the national team. He believes that the administrative officials of the national team also need to have a good understanding of football. Those former purely official team leaders had a bad reputation, especially Wei Shaohui, who set Chinese football back twenty years, so Zhuo Yang recommended Yang Chen by name.

Milu's interest did not diminish, so he made another request. Yang Chen had a good relationship with Milu back then, so he couldn't shirk it, so he had to say give it a try.

Zhuoyang didn't have any prejudice against Milu. In fact, he spoke highly of the old man during their chat. But who is bothering him now? Not to mention Milu, he doesn't want to see the King of Heaven even if he comes.

However, Cheng Hao persuaded Zhuo Yang and told him to go and meet him. After all, it was not inappropriate for someone of such an age and who had contributed to Chinese football.

Cheng Hao is the one who can persuade Zhuo Yang. He and Zhao Xue's son Cheng Lixue call Zhuo Yang his godfather, and they are like a family.

The godmother is Li Xiaoqing.

So, Zhuo Yang went directly from the gym to meet Milu while still wet. When they first met, several people present were a little embarrassed.

Milu has traveled around the world all his life. The years of coaching the Chinese team were his most unforgettable experience and his greatest regret.

Before the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, Milu continued to use the media to reduce the pressure on the national team and cool down the fans' fever. But at that time, everyone was blinded by the excitement of reaching the World Cup for the first time. Many people even thought that the semi-finals were not a dream. The reason was that the Chinese team It is the team with the highest average height among the top 32 players.

So after his unsatisfactory results in the World Cup, Milu was actually fired. The fans and the media turned against each other faster than taking off their pants, and people from all over the country were "get out".

After the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, Zhuoyang entered professional football in Germany. Milu has friends all over the world in football circles. He discovered Zhuoyang in early 2003, earlier than in China.

Also earlier than Cheng Hao.

It stands to reason that Milu was still closely related to Chinese football at that time, and he should have reported the news about Zhuo Yang to the country from all angles, but he did not.

The King of Hell, who had been trying to protect him, retreated behind the scenes after the World Cup. Milu's dismissal was actually a power struggle among the top management of the Football Association. He was resentful about this and naturally did not want to pluck the fruit of those he disliked.

Moreover, Milu and even the Football Association at that time knew that even if he said it, no one would take it seriously. It would be boring to have a hot face but a cold butt.

Milu regretted that Zhuo Yang was not discovered during the World Cup in Korea and Japan, otherwise he would have at least achieved zero breakthroughs in scoring, even though Zhuo Yang was only 17 years old at the time and was just a player in the German Third Division.

Eleven years later, Milu watched Zhuoyang return to the Chinese team, and watched Zhuoyang step by step become the best player in world football. In 2008, when the Football Association competed to hire the head coach of the national team, Milu also expressed his attitude of entering the palace for the second time.

"Captain Zhuoyang, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Milutinovich."

Milu's ravaged face still had an old fox smile: "Call me Bola. Zhuo Yang, I have a request. I don't know if you can agree to it."

"What?"

"I am 70 years old this year. Can you give me promotion to the top 16 as a birthday gift? This is an old man's plea."

"Bola, do you think the Chinese team can definitely reach the top 16?"

Milu became very serious: "I am convinced of this."

Zhuo Yang knew Milu's intention. After the 8-0 defeat to Brazil, the whole world was pessimistic about the Chinese team's prospects for qualifying, including the domestic media. The World Cup will not guarantee the Chinese team to advance just because of Zhuo Yang. In every tournament, super strong teams fail in the group stage, not to mention that the Chinese team is not strong yet.

Zhuoyang has closed himself off from the national team mainly because he does not want the team to be affected by outside public opinion.

The old man is here just to cheer you up! Although this move is a bit straightforward and has almost no effect, it also shows that Milu is not just here to increase his presence. He has feelings for the Chinese team.

"Okay, I agree. Thank you, Bola."

Smiling and hugging Milu, this seemed to be the first time Zhuo Yang smiled in so many days. Then Zhuo Yang did not go to greet the visitor who wanted to get married the most, but first greeted Yao Damingji.

"Hello, Sister Yao, we meet again."

"Hello, Captain Zhuoyang, the last time I saw you was ten years ago in Hanover. Time flies so fast." Yao Mingji sighed with emotion.

In fact, Yao Mingji is neither a celebrity nor a journalist now. How quickly he became famous because of Milu, he disappeared just as quickly after that. The attempt to snatch Zhuo Yang's exclusive reporting rights from Cheng Hao that year was her last effort in this industry.

Now over 40 years old, Miss Yao still works in the newspaper, but she is just an unknown editor. Her only popularity still comes from Milu, who is nostalgic for her old flame. Whenever someone in the football circle shows up, the old man will always call her. .

After losing to Cheng Hao that year, she was still unconvinced for a while, but as she returned to normalcy, her mentality gradually became calmer. If you can become famous because of Milu, of course you can also allow others to soar to the sky because of Zhuo Yang.

In particular, Cheng Hao's heroic feat of "sacrifice himself to expose the criminal" completely impressed all the news practitioners, including Yao Meimei. What Cheng Hao did was a model for journalists and the goal that every one of them admired.

After exchanging pleasantries with Sister Yao, Zhuo Yang turned his attention to the last guest.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Okocha."

The 41-year-old Nigerian football star Jejie Okocha came to the Chinese team’s residence with his former head coach Milu.

Zhuo Yang's celestial and brilliant football skills were not brought out from his mother's womb, but fell from the sky. When he was ten years old, he accidentally discovered a video tape of Okocha's game highlights. After watching it for two days, he recorded all the details in his brain and imitated it all the time.

Ronaldinho publicly called Okocha "teacher", but his football foundation was actually developed in Brazil, and what Okocha learned from Okocha was a more reasonable combination of showing off skills and competition.

But Zhuoyang's football was really learned from Okocha. Otherwise, in China's barren football soil at that time, even if he was extremely talented, where would a naughty kid who had just started playing wild football find the immortal skills.

Okocha himself did not know this secret, and Zhuoyang had never told anyone else.
