In the Magic City of China, there was a muscular black man who was practicing hard in a training match.
Although it was already dusk and there were no staff in the stadium, he was still practicing shooting. Ten balls were shot out, then he picked them up and continued to practice shooting.
It wasn't until dusk completely enveloped him that the goalposts couldn't be seen clearly, that he left the training ground and walked towards the parking lot.
A month ago, he said in an interview with reporters: "Normally, I can sweat after five minutes of activity, but after I came here, even after the entire training session, I was still dry. "
Even with the extra practice at this moment, his jersey was only slightly wet, that's all.
And half a year ago, when he first came here, he said boldly when facing the media: "I came here with the Premier League title to help the team win the AFC Champions League!"
(These are the original words of the interview, but because the 2012 Champions League champion was Juventus, I changed "UEFA Champions League champion" to "Premier League champion" for special explanation.)
But now, let alone the AFC Champions League, in the Chinese Super League, teams must fight to avoid relegation.
He opened the door and sat in, sighing softly.
"It was a mistake to come here. Even if Chinese players are doing well in Europe, this eastern continent is still a barren soil for football."
At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly, and a familiar number called.
"Man, it's been a while since I heard from you. How have you been lately?"
"Sir, I've been having a bad time lately."
"I know that I know more about the Chinese League than you do. The current rhythm of the game there is really not suitable for you. I talked to you about this in the summer, but you didn't listen to my advice."
"I now know that I was wrong. In the past six months, not only has my competitive status declined, but the club has also been in arrears with wages. I have lost both life and money."
"I heard from internal sources that because the team is facing an equity dispute, it owes you 3 million euros in bonuses, which is really regrettable. But one thing I still remember is that when you signed the contract with them, there was a clause ——If there is salary arrears, you can automatically terminate the contract!"
"Yes, sir."
"That's easy, Didier, I want you!"
The person sitting in the car is none other than the world-class forward and the famous "Warcraft" - Didier Drogba!
On the phone, Yun Sheng's voice was low but firm: "Didier, I have been pursuing you for more than a day or two. I have offered you an olive branch since the summer transfer period. Deportivo needs you, especially. You! In my current tactics, what I lack most is a powerful super center! You are exactly what I need!"
"If you have a good life in China, I will definitely not disturb you, but look at the current situation, are you still going to reject me? Didier, as long as you can come to Deportivo, you will be my number one center forward!"
Hearing Yunsheng's increasingly excited voice, Drogba was quite moved: "But sir, my current situation is different from that in the summer. I wasted half a year in China and my economic situation has dropped a lot. Are you sure I can adapt?" Is Depor’s team playing like that? There are not many teams left that invited me to join..."
Hearing Drogba's words, Yun Sheng resolutely said: "You are the star I need! Those teams that doubt you are blind! Since you want to come back, you should go back to the five major leagues and return to a team that can compete for the championship. Come on, team! We Depor can do this! Our goal this season is to win the double crown, and you can still return to the Champions League next season and prove your strength!"
Drogba on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "When I was playing for Chelsea, I had a good relationship with many of my teammates. Even those players who left the team, we were in constant contact. Marclay Rai, Shevchenko, Ballack, they often mentioned you to me and how you led them to create miracles."
"You asked me to join Deportivo this summer. In fact, I was very moved at the time, but I had already signed a contract with the Chinese Super League and it was impossible to violate the spirit of the contract. But now, I have planned to leave the Chinese Super League, although there are several other clubs. You will discuss a new contract with me, but I am more interested in joining Deportivo."
Yun Sheng's eyes lit up: "Didier, so you agree?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was much more relaxed: "Please give me your advice in the future at Deportivo. Sir, no, I should call you boss now."
"Haha! Didier! I have been under a lot of pressure due to transfer matters during this period, and today I am completely at ease! With you, Deportivo will be worry-free in the next few years!"
After hanging up the phone with Drogba, Yunsheng felt completely at ease.
He sent a message to the club's commercial director Dong Ke: contact Drogba tomorrow to discuss trial training and contract matters.
Dong Ke came back quickly: Okay, boss.
Yun Sheng was relieved.
In fact, from the bottom of Yun Sheng's heart, if he is not particularly anxious, he does not want to arrange work during off-duty hours. Even if it is an urgent matter like today, he will just send a message to remind him.
As a migrant worker in his previous life, Yun Sheng understood the pain of suddenly receiving a call from work when he was relaxing at night. It was an impulse to kill someone.
Sitting in the living room, Yun Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Drogba comes, plus Wu Lei and the youth training fast horse Oliveira, at least the number of people on the front line is gathered together. Although there is a lack of rotation, although Oliveira is still lacking in strength, at least there are enough people.
If we can introduce another striker next, we can at least survive the past two months.
There is also a midfield position. After all, Ronaldo and Pogba are too young. It would be great if an experienced veteran could be found to temporarily replace Riquelme...
Beijing time is now 18:00, while Spanish time is 7 hours behind, and it is now 11:00 noon.
Yun Sheng leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, thinking about the recent transfer work.
At this time, his cell phone rang, it was Liu Surong calling.
"I said Coach Yun, today is Christmas Eve, why don't you get off work early and go home?"
Yun Sheng slapped his head: "I forgot about this and was just busy handling the transfer."
Liu Surong said with a smile: "Don't forget the family dinner tonight. Not only are my besties there, but also your good friends. He is also your transfer target. You have to be careful."
"I'm going back now!"
Yun Sheng hung up the phone, picked up a few documents from his desk, and left the office.
I really haven’t seen this old friend tonight for a while.
No matter what method I use, I have to keep him in Depor!
