Chapter 48 Gao Lin's Choice Lin Feng and Feng Xiaoting were very happy to see so many teammates from the national youth team successfully go abroad. In order to facilitate more contact and communication, the two of them set up a QQ group and invited all the teammates who had successfully studied abroad to join. After successfully creating the group, Lin Feng casually sent a message in the QQ group: "A newbie is here, please help me, big boss!" "The boss is pretending to be a newbie again!" "That's right, you are the most valuable person in our group, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a newcomer!" "Hey, you can't count it that way. I was born in 88, and you are all older than me. And I joined the team the latest. Whether in terms of age or qualifications, am I not a newcomer?" Everyone was speechless. It was really frustrating to compare yourself with others. This guy was the youngest in the team and joined the latest, but he was the best among them. "By the way, where's Datou? Why can't I see him?"
In the national youth team, Gao Lin is affectionately called Big Head by his teammates because he has a big head. However, in the national team, this title belongs to Li Weifeng, so everyone only calls him that in private. "Big Head's situation is more complicated. I've added him as my friend. I'll pull him in and let him speak for himself!" Soon, a person with the nickname "I'm a professional at masturbating" was pulled into the QQ group by Chen Tao. Lin Feng: "???" Feng Xiaoting: “???” Zhao Xuri: “???” Seeing this nickname, everyone asked a series of question marks. I'm a professional at masturbating: "Newbie reporting in, please stand up, my dears!" Cui Peng couldn't help but ask in the group: "Lao Gao, what does your nickname mean?" I'm a professional at masturbation: "It doesn't mean anything else, it just means what it says. You who are experienced will definitely understand!" Cui Peng quickly denied it three times: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not, I didn't!" I'm a professional at masturbating: "Haha, don't explain. Explanation is covering up, and covering up is a disguised admission of the facts." Chen Tao didn't want to see Gao Lin showing off his treasures in the group, so he interrupted the conversation between the two and asked Gao Lin directly: "Big Head, how is your transfer going? It's already halfway through July, and the new season training camp in Europe is about to begin. Everyone's transfers are almost complete, so why haven't you made any progress?" Due to the large geographical span, the temperature and climate vary greatly from place to place, so the start time of the domestic league is very different from that of the five major leagues. The new season of the five major leagues usually starts in late August and lasts until the end of May of the following year. The new season of the Chinese Super League usually starts in March and ends in November. In March, the weather warmed up everywhere and the temperature difference between regions began to narrow. There was no longer an extreme temperature difference of 3 or degrees in the south, but still minus ten or even dozens of degrees in the north.
There is also such consideration for ending the league in November. After all, in the winter in the north, temperatures of minus 11 to degrees Celsius are common. Playing football on an outdoor field in such temperature is really a life-threatening thing. It is also for this reason that many domestic players choose to study abroad in January, when both domestic and European leagues are on break. Because in July and August, the Chinese Super League is entering its final sprint stage. In order to maintain a stable record, many teams are unwilling to let go of players easily, which creates considerable obstacles for players to go abroad. This is one of the reasons why Shenyang Jinde set up transfer obstacles for Chen Tao. The reason why the transfers of other national youth players were very smooth is mainly because most of them have not been able to establish themselves as the main players in their clubs and are not very important to the team. Originally Gao Lin belonged to the second situation. He was not reused by Shenhua and had been playing in the youth team. But after the World Youth Championship, Shenhua saw Gao Lin's outstanding performance and decided to promote him to the first team. In this case, it is difficult to say what Shenhua's attitude will be when facing offers from foreign clubs. Gao Lin sent a crying emoji: "The negotiation between the club and the team that is interested in me has broken down. I can't go abroad!" Feng Xiaoting: "Is it so serious? Which foreign team is interested in you? How much are they willing to offer?" Cui Peng: "Don't worry, there is still more than a month before the transfer period closes. Hang in there, there is hope!" Zhao Xuri: "That's right. Everyone saw your performance in the World Youth Championship. Even Zhu Ting and Mao Biao have successfully studied abroad. You will definitely not be unpopular!" Zhu Ting and Mao Biao: "Zhao Ritian, are you polite?" I'm a professional at masturbating: "It is said that this is a French Ligue 1 relegation team. Their striker is injured and they are in urgent need of a striker to help out." When everyone heard that it was a French Ligue 1 team, they all tagged Cui Peng. Among all the players in the national youth team, only Cui Peng has joined Ligue 1, and he has joined a top-ranked team. Cui Peng: "Don't worry, Lao Gao. Tell me about the situation of the French Ligue 1 team first. I will help you think about it." In the national youth team, Cui Peng and Gao Lin have a very good relationship. They have similar interests and can get along very well. No wonder they were the first two to be expelled from the National Olympic Team that year. I'm a professional at masturbating: "That team seems to be from some island, called Ajaccio or something!?" Cui Peng: "Ajaccio? They are a team from Corsica. They had 45 points in the league last season, only 4 points above the relegation zone. If they hadn't won two consecutive games in the last two rounds, they would have been relegated." It can be seen that Cui Peng has done a lot of relevant homework after joining Ligue 1, and he obviously knows more about Ligue 1 than others. After the introduction, Cui Peng added: "Ajaccio's financial situation isn't very good, so the transfer fee they offer probably won't be very high, right?" When talking about this, Gao Lin was furious: "Not only is it not high, the other party only offered a transfer fee of 90 euros, and Shenhua thought the other party was deliberately humiliating them!" After all, Gao Lin is the main striker of the national youth team, and his performance in the World Youth Championship was quite impressive. Although he is not as good as Lin Feng, Chen Tao, Feng Xiaoting and others, he feels that he can't be lower than Zhu Ting, right? Zhu Ting's playing time in the World Youth Championship is not as long as his, but Hamburg offered a transfer fee of 150 million euros for Zhu Ting. Although Hamburg is not a top team, it is at least ranked in the upper middle of the league and does not have to worry about relegation. But what kind of crappy team is interested in it? Not only is the location remote, the transfer fee is also low, and most importantly, the team is under tremendous pressure to avoid relegation.
If they are not careful, the team may be relegated from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2. Ligue 1 is the weakest of the five major leagues. If it really gets relegated to Ligue 2, it would be better to stay in the Chinese Super League and play football! After hearing Gao Lin's words, everyone fell silent. His situation is indeed very complicated. It can be seen that not only Shenhua is dissatisfied with the transfer fee, but Gao Lin himself is also not very satisfied with the team. Moreover, there is a disadvantage in playing for a relegation team, which is that the other side attaches great importance to results and will not give newcomers too much time and patience to adapt. If Gao Lin does not perform well in the league, he will most likely be sidelined and completely abandoned by the head coach. If that happens, he will really be at a loss. Lin Feng asked curiously: "Have other teams contacted you?" Judging from Gao Lin's performance, there should be more than one team that is interested in him. After all, even someone like Mao Biao, who sat on the bench, managed to go abroad successfully. Gao Lin at least played a few games as a main player, so he will only receive more attention. "Yes, but they are all secondary leagues of the five major leagues, such as the Spanish Second Division, the English Championship, the German Second Division, etc." Based on Lin Feng's understanding of Gao Lin, if he had to choose between these secondary leagues and the Ligue 1 relegation team, he would most likely choose the Ligue 1 relegation team. After all, this guy cares a lot about face. Joining the top five leagues is much more prestigious than joining the secondary leagues of the top five leagues. "Brother Feng, you must save me. You have been abroad for a long time and have a wide network of contacts. You are the only one I can count on now!" Seeing that Lin Feng took the initiative to ask, Gao Lin took the opportunity and immediately began to beg Lin Feng for help. Lin Feng thought about it. His connections were mainly concentrated in the German league. There happened to be a team in the Bundesliga that had a promising future but was in poor form at the moment. That team was the Hornet Dortmund. (End of this chapter)
