Chapter 8 I Just Don't Want To Be Too Lonely
While Rongguang was still in training, Deborah had already returned to Munich from China. Then she called Rongguang and reported on the results of the negotiations with the Chinese club.
Gao Lin belongs to Shanghai Shenhua Club.
But if it's just like that, the transfer would be simple.
However, in October this year, the 10th National Games will be held in Jiangsu Province.
As a member of the Shanghai team, Gao Lin will participate in the National Games football competition.
Neither the Shanghai Football Association nor the Sports Committee are very willing to let Gao Lin play abroad before the National Games.
So Gao Lin's transfer to overseas was in a deadlock.
After hearing Debola's report, Rongguang was particularly unable to understand such a thing.
In his opinion, what is more important than playing football abroad?
National Games?
What is that?
Can it be compared with the European League?
Even if it’s not for money or for your own future, it’s obvious that the European League is better than the National Games, right?
Are those officials stuttering in their minds?
Rongguang couldn't understand why the local football associations opposed Chinese players playing football abroad.
After playing for one World Youth Championship, he already understood what the football environment in China is like. When his teammates chat together, they would ask Rong Guang about his experience of playing football in Europe. He was very envious in his words and revealed his depression in playing football in China.
So Rongguang knows what it is like to play football in China.
Although he has not yet a deeper understanding of many issues in Chinese football, he also knows that playing football abroad is a good way out. Looking at Brazilian football, he knows that if Chinese football has enough players playing football in places like Europe, the level of Chinese football will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
Shouldn’t the Chinese Football Association be for Chinese football?
But why do we do things that will harm Chinese football?
In Rongguang's view, not allowing hopeful Chinese players to play abroad is a detriment to Chinese football behavior.

When Rongguang expressed his discomfort to the actions of the Shanghai Football Association and the Sports Committee, he received a call from Gao Lin.
"Captain, I'm here to thank you." Gao Lin said to Rongguang on the phone. "I met your agent in Shanghai. She told me all..."
Since playing in the World Youth Championship, the players of the National Youth Team have become accustomed to calling Rongguang the "captain". Unlike the "boss" and "big brother" with a strong atmosphere in the world, the title "captain" seems to be a little purer, and it is more like the relationship between players.
"I just helped me by the way, and I haven't helped." Rongguang was still regretting this.
Gao Lin's voice was also a little depressed: "I know, captain. Even if I haven't gone out, I still have to thank you. At least I know, my level is still recognized by European teams. I think... this is my biggest gain."
After hearing Gao Lin's words, Rongguang didn't know what to say.
He could feel that Gao Lin was still a little unwilling to be unable to play football abroad.
The two suddenly fell into silence.
Gao Lin might not want to make the atmosphere too awkward, so he forced himself to smile and said, "But it's nothing, captain. At least... we have someone we want from European teams!"
Rongguang asked him: "Then do you still want to play football abroad?"
Gao Lin was stunned for a moment before answering, "I think... If possible, who doesn't want it? I'll dream it!"
Rongguang made a decision in his heart, and then he said to Gao Lin: "Then wait for my news."
Before Gao Lin could react, he saw Rongguang hanging up the phone.
He held the phone with constant busy sounds and thought about the last words the captain said to him.
Waiting for news from the captain?
What news is waiting for the captain?
Do I still have the hope of playing football abroad?
※※※
The reason why Rongguang hung up Gao Lin's phone so quickly was because he was in a hurry to call another person.
To help Gao Lin play football abroad, Rong Guang must first figure out why the National Games are so important in the minds of Chinese local governments that they dare to stop Gao Lin from going abroad for such a glory-knowing event.
He and Debola didn't understand this, but someone understood it.
Rongguang called Molly.
On the phone, he told Molly about his questions and Gao Lin's transfer.
In fact, Molly himself knew about Gao Lin’s transfer, after all, it was no secret. Maybe Chinese fans don’t know much about Gao Lin’s interest, but for Chinese journalists in Germany, it has definitely spread a long time ago.
Everyone knows why Werder Bremen is interested in Gao Lin. After tasting the sweetness of using Chinese players in Rongguang, Werder Bremen naturally hopes to introduce more Chinese players. Gao Lin, who performed well in the World Youth Championship and scored two goals, naturally became the target person that Werder Bremen is interested in.
However, when Gao Lin turned around and encountered trouble, Molly didn't know.
After hearing Rong Guang's question, Molly understood what was going on.
"Actually, the Shanghai Local Football Association and Sports Committee are very normal in their approach to Gao Lin, Rong. You don't understand the National Games because you don't play football in China. For the local Sports Committee of China and the political axe, in a sense, the whole thing is
The Games are more worthy of attention than the Olympics. Because the performance of the National Games directly determines the political achievements of the local sports committees and the promotion of officials. Anything that is linked to the future of officials is not so simple.
Do things regularly.”
Molly began to explain to Glory why the National Games were so important.
“…Gao Lin is a ball that performed well in the World Youth Championship
The trump card is naturally the trump card of the Shanghai football team. If the trump card is released abroad, resulting in the Shanghai team not achieving good results in the National Games, then who will be responsible in the end? Whoever allows Gao Lin to be let go abroad is responsible.
Ren. In fact, those officials know that playing football abroad is definitely a good thing for Gao Lin, and Chinese football also requires more people to play football abroad. But when it is related to their personal interests, they will not make such a decision.
No one can make a joke about his political achievements and futures, Rong..."
"So, it will be very difficult for Gao Lin to leave Shanghai Shenhua this summer and go to Werder Bremen. The local Football Association is unwilling, and Gao Lin can't leave either. After all, he is still a player under the Football Association. The Football Association has a management relationship with him, unlike you, Rong. You took a wild path from the beginning, so the Football Association can't control you at all."
After listening to Molly's explanation, Rongguang also found that the problem was very serious.
"Then isn't Gao Lin able to play football abroad? This time the opportunity is so good..."
"It's not impossible. Everything can be discussed. But it depends on how interested Werder Bremen is in Gao Lin... If it's big enough, then talk to Shanghai to see if we can find a solution that satisfies both parties. In addition... I can also help and put some public opinion pressure on Shanghai appropriately, and we can still do it."
It's good to hear Rongguang this is also true.
So he nodded: "Then please, Sister Mo."

After finishing the joint venture with Molly, Rongguang called Alovs again.
Alovs already knew the attitude in Shanghai.
He felt very incredible and incomprehensible about the fact that China actually prevented players from playing football abroad because of a national sports meeting.
So Rongguang had to pass on the explanation Molly told him to Alovs.
In front of glory, Alovs couldn't say anything too ugly, so he had to say that the situations of each company were different, and China's really eye-opening.
Rongguang could actually hear it, but he automatically ignored Alovs' subtext.
He asked Alovs if he was still interested in Gaolin.
"Of course we are interested. Gao's performance in the World Youth Championship is very good. We have sent scouts to follow up the whole game... But in this situation... we naturally cannot accept that the players will play in the club for two months and will have to return to China to play in the National Games..."
Alovs complained.
"That's why I called you, Mr. Manager. I think we can discuss it. If you really want Gao, I also believe Gao will be a very good player..."
"How to discuss, Rong?" Alovs was still very polite to Rongguang.
After all, Glory has now become a legend in the history of Werder Bremen Club, although he has only played for this team for two seasons...
Rongguang thought for a while and then made his own suggestions: "If Werder Bremen is unwilling to let his players go back to the National Games halfway... Then does Werder Bremen agree to introduce highs again during the winter break?
Avoid a risk - if Gao was injured when he returned to China to participate in the National Games, Werder Bremen would not have to bear any losses. What do you think of this proposal, Mr. Manager?"
Alovs fell into silence.
Introduced during the winter break?
Gao Lin, who joined the team halfway through, can adapt to the team? He missed the most important summer training camp. Can his performance in the team still satisfy himself?
These are all questions that make him hesitate.
But... this is recommended by Rongguang, I can't refuse it directly, right?
That would be too disrespectful to honor and face.
Anyway, Alovs did not want to make a relationship with Glory.
He thought about it and then asked suddenly: "Rong, Gao has his own agent. If he succeeds in transferring, the Shanghai Club and him will not share a penny with you. Why do you have to work so hard to help him?"
Rong Guangxin said, "Aren't you calling me to help me?" I just thought that since I helped, I'll help you to the end!"
However, this is not easy to say the glory directly.
He thought of Gao Lin's lost and frustrated tone when he thought he would never have the chance to play football abroad.
"I just don't want to be too lonely in Europe, Mr. Manager."
"Well, Rong Werder Bremen Club will seriously consider your suggestions."
Alovs sighed and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Manager."
After the serious matter was over, Alovs also had the heart to joke. He smiled and said, "Don't say thank you, Rong. Next time you face us, just show mercy, ha!"
