Chapter 326 Who Pays Attention
On the flight from London to Capital Airport, Mu Jianfeng glanced sideways at his slightly snoring grandfather, and gently pulled up the blanket covering the old man, before turning his head to look at the night sky outside the window.
"The national team?"
Wu Liang's phone call yesterday left Mu Jianfeng in a daze for a long time.
As a member of Huaxia, it is impossible to say that I have never dreamed of wearing the national team jersey on the green field.
But when he was playing some famous football in Italy and had some expectations in his heart, he learned that dual nationality is not recognized in China.
When he finally settled the issue of nationality, the domestic football world seemed to be silenced suddenly. Although the cheers from the people were high, no official person had ever formally contacted him.
Mu Jianfeng still remembers the situation during the World Cup in Korea and Japan when he was a child.
That year, China entered the World Cup for the first time in its history. I still remember that when he was studying that night, he was suddenly surprised by the cheers that resounded throughout the city.
I still remember that summer, almost all the institutions and schools across the country created the conditions to open the live broadcast signal, and watched the historic game in front of the TV.
But as a result, the summer of that year was bitter.
But almost everyone comforted each other, since the zero breakthrough has been achieved, will the next time be far behind?
But nearly ten years have passed, and the sport of football seems to have really gone further and further...
Fortunately, in the past two years, a vigorous campaign against match-fixing and black whistle has been launched in China, and the domestic football atmosphere has become much clearer for a while.
I just don't know whether domestic football can take the opportunity to embark on the road of revival in the future...
Then, just yesterday, without any psychological preparation, he was called to the national team...
According to Wu Liang's inquires in China, it was the high-level leaders who attached great importance to his affairs, and even greeted him in person, not wanting to disturb him before the leadership of the Football Association changed, and affect his development in Europe.
Therefore, before the final change of the leadership of the Football Association, no official contacted him.
Today, the reason for contacting him urgently is because the new football team has been built on the one hand.
On the other hand, it was because a banner of Huaxia Sports, the man known as the "Great Wall of Asian Basketball", had decided to retire!
Although the relevant parties are still trying to communicate, according to Wu Liang's information, the player himself has basically decided to give up because of the injury.
Coupled with the fallen king of the 110-meter hurdles a few days ago, the Chinese sports world urgently needs a banner that can be held.
At this time, a good image, coupled with good enough data, and most importantly, one of the most watched men's sports events in the world, all of these have determined that Mu Jianfeng is expected to become the next representative The banner of Huaxia Sports.
Whenever he thought of Wu Liang's solemn tone when he said these things to him, Mu Jianfeng felt an uncontrollable pressure in his heart.
But in any case, for the call of the motherland, there is only a duty to say.
After all, to be selfish, the reason why Mu Jianfeng can get along well in European football and continue to get opportunities and attention is inseparable from the powerful country he relies on.
If he wasn't a Chinese player, he might still have enough competitive achievements, but for his wallet, he definitely couldn't have such a lucrative income.
So Mu Jianfeng has no reason to refuse whether it is public or private, doesn't he?
However, he still communicated with Raiola on the phone again. After all, Raiola seemed to have some opinions on his entry into the national team.
However, Raiola's attitude on this matter is completely agreeable. According to him, the reason why he didn't want Mu Jianfeng to enter the national team before was because the domestic football environment in China was not good at that time.
But after Wu Liang joined the economic team, they also had an understanding of the domestic situation, so if they can enter the national team at this time, no matter for the sponsors, individual players, the influence of the team or the interests of the agent, it will be of great importance. is beneficial.
Even Raioa has already communicated with Arsenal's top management on this matter. After all, the Asian Cup and some games may be held in January and February every year. It's game.
Even so, the senior management of Arsenal was very supportive of this, and even specially arranged a commercial competition in Huaxia Tour in the summer because of this.
Only Wenger complained, but the old man didn't mean to object.
Thinking of this, Mu Jianfeng turned his head to look at the sleeping grandfather again.
After my grandfather learned that he might be selected for the national team, the old man was so excited that he even shed tears on the spot.
The old man talked to Mu Jianfeng all night about what happened when he participated in the Anti-Japanese War, and he also talked about what his generation experienced in those years, when Chinese people were looked down upon by foreigners and could hardly hold their heads up.
Because of this, almost without sleep all night, my grandfather fell into a drowsy sleep almost not long after boarding the plane.
"national team!"
Mu Jianfeng muttered something in a low voice, but then he remembered the tall figure who was about to retire.
As a basketball fan, he watched his games live.
Memory, under his tall stature, hides unparalleled strength and astonishing sensitivity.
Even in the eyes of many experts, at only 31 years old this year, he has just entered his prime.
In the end, like fireworks, he chose to leave at the most splendid time.
"Hey……"
Sighing softly, Mu Jianfeng took out the blindfold from his arms, looked at the grandfather next to him, put on the earphones and listened to lullabies, trying to beat the jet lag ahead of time.
……
Due to jet lag, after nearly nine hours of flight, when the plane landed safely at the Capital Airport, it was already the hottest noon in the capital.
"Brat, for the first time in my life, I slept until noon!"
The grandfather who was following Mu Jianfeng was obviously in a good mood. Listening to the familiar Mandarin and looking at the familiar faces of Huaxia, the old man had never restrained his smile since he got off the plane, so he said jokingly.
"It's just right, so you don't have to suffer from jet lag.
But in the past few days after coming back, don't be too anxious to go to bed too early, don't worry and take your time, just go to bed early a day.
We will stay for nearly two months when we come back this time, don't worry grandpa. "
While straightening the black mask on his face, Mu Jianfeng turned his head to look at his grandfather and asked.
"Got it, brat!
Your grandfather and I are not children, I also ran around with the unit in the early years!
It's not like your grandma..."
Having said this, Grandpa's face darkened, and Mu Jianfeng hurriedly advised:
"Then you will run around with grandma and take care of me for grandma!"
Hearing what Mu Jianfeng said, my grandfather forced a smile and sighed:
"Old...old..."
Seeing this, Mu Jianfeng didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he could only forcefully find a topic to chat with grandpa, trying to divert his attention as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Mu Jianfeng saw Wu Liang from a distance at this time, and Wu Liang also noticed the grandfather next to Mu Jianfeng, so he was sure that this tall young man wearing a black mask to cover himself tightly was Mu Jianfeng.
Seeing the passers-by in the airport looking at Mu Jianfeng with weird eyes from time to time, Wu Liang couldn't help but smile wryly.
He stepped forward and insisted on taking the suitcase and backpack from Mu Jianfeng, but Mu Jianfeng refused.
Seeing this, Wu Liang didn't force it, but smiled and said:
"How did you cover yourself up so tightly!"
Mu Jianfeng was taken aback for a moment, then asked:
"Isn't my popularity in the country not enough now?
I think those celebrities are covering themselves like this, otherwise those fanatical fans would watch and mess up the airport. "
Hearing this, Wu Liang shook his head and smiled wryly, explaining:
"How can you be so stern, you cover up so tightly, but you are different.
Like those celebrities, most of them are agents who release news to the media and fans in advance. Otherwise, the airlines’ information security measures are so strict, and the media with all kinds of superpowers can’t get a trace of news. The author just caught it.
As for those who are blocked, you have to know that although there is a phenomenon of star chasing in China, the vast majority of people still chase stars rationally. In those extreme situations, most of them are hired by brokerage companies to create the assumption that their idols are popular.
After all, young people use a herd mentality, don't they? "
Hearing what Wu Liang said, Mu Jianfeng felt that there was some truth, and then he tried to take off the mask in the eyes of his grandpa who thought you were thinking too much.
Sure enough, the people who were in a hurry were still in a hurry, but soon some people seemed to recognize Mu Jianfeng.
But it is also limited to standing in the distance and whispering with his companions, and then there is a feeling of ready to move.
Finally, a little girl who seemed to be traveling with her parents plucked up her courage, walked up to Mu Jianfeng timidly, and said:
"You... hello!"
After saying a few words, the little girl seemed to have a little courage, paused and continued to speak:
"Are you Mu Jianfeng? The one playing football? Can I take a photo with you?"
Seeing the little girl's timid look, Mu Jianfeng thought it was a little funny. He just wanted to say yes, but he didn't want Wu Liang who was beside him to step forward quickly, and said with a dark face:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mu just got off the plane and is already very tired. If I take a photo with you, then other people may also ask for a photo, which will delay his rest time.
So sorry, today may not be able to meet your group photo request. "
Mu Jianfeng glanced at Wu Liang in surprise, but he cooperated and did not continue to speak.
Hearing what Wu Liang said, the little girl glanced at the crowd around her, a little aggrieved, but she still said politely:
"Sorry for disturbing you……"
Wu Liang showed a smile at this time, took out a postcard of Mu Jianfeng from his arms, handed it over, and then said:
"Thank you for your support to Mr. Mu, and I hope you can continue to support him.
If I can see you again at the fan meeting next time, I will definitely arrange for Mu Jianfeng to meet your photo request. This is my business card, sorry. "
After speaking, he didn't continue to entangle, but pulled Mu Jianfeng away.
Seeing that the little girl was rejected, the fans on the side also stopped in their tracks.
In Mu Jianfeng's puzzled face, Wu Liang led him away quickly and said:
"Xiaofeng, you are not just a player now. You are also an idol. As an idol, you should first learn to say 'no'.
Still getting back to writing status~
