Chapter 3 Determining Goals

Chapter 3: Determine the target ()

"Xiaofeng, are you okay? I heard you were knocked unconscious by the ball on the training ground. I rushed back from Vilva."

"You kid was too careless. How could you be kicked to the head by football? You said you could just stand next to Mr. Hiddink, why are you running around?"

"What a bad kid. Fortunately, you have nothing to do, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to your parents. Especially your mother, if she knows that you fainted, she doesn't know what she will be worried about."

As soon as Tang Sen entered the door, his mouth kept talking like a machine gun.

Tang Feng suddenly felt that his uncle and grandma were really foresighted, so he named him Tang Sen because he was like Tang Monk who was talking about the Westward Journey.

If it weren't for Tang Sen's tone that was filled with deep concern, Tang Feng would have really imagined that he would knock the fat uncle in front of him with a blow!

"Uh, cousin. Don't talk about this to my mother. I'm fine, right?" Tang Feng interrupted Tang Sen and said.

"Well, I know. I'll go to the hospital for a good check later. After all, the head is not like other places. If something goes wrong, it's not a trivial matter." Tang Sen said a little worriedly.

"It's okay, cousin. Don't forget, I often play football, and it's not time to be kicked once or twice. It's not so easy to get into trouble." Tang Feng said with a relaxed smile.

"It's better to check it out. What if there are any sequelae in your head? Even if there are no sequelae, it's not good if there are any minor problems in the future..." Tang Sen said cautiously.

Seeing that Tang Sen was about to chatter again, Tang Feng decisively agreed to Tang Sen's request: "Okay, okay, okay. Uncle, listen to you, we will check it later!"

"This is almost the same. Since I brought you here, I have the responsibility to take good care of you! Your child is also pitiful. Your parents have divorced since childhood. You have suffered a lot from your mother since childhood. Now you are with your cousin, and you can't let you suffer any more..." Tang Sen nodded after seeing Tang Feng agreeing to his proposal. Then he sighed again.

Here comes again... The memory that Tang Feng absorbed later appeared countless times by his cousin's sigh.

Tang Feng suddenly felt helpless. After all, Tang Sen really cared about him, and he could not let him down, right? But every time he heard the same thing he said, it would be a torture for his ears.

"I'll go to my cousin's house for dinner after the check-up. I just asked my cousin to give you chicken soup and ask you to make up for it." After a little bit of emotion, Tang Sen continued.

Tang Feng was very satisfied with this proposal. Because according to the memory he had absorbed, his cousin's cooking skills were very good. In the past, Tang Feng often went to his cousin's house to improve food. So Tang Feng nodded without hesitation.

The uncle and nephew made a special trip to Seville Municipal Hospital for a good check-up.

The inspection results proved that Tang Sen's concerns were unnecessary, and the uncle and nephew also returned home with a relaxed look on their faces.

Along the way, the two talked about how Tang Feng was kicked out of football.

According to the memory that Tang Feng absorbed, the Betis was conducting shooting training at that time. As the coach, Hiddink sat on the side of the court to rest and did not need Tang Feng's translation. Tang Feng took the initiative to run to the back of the goal to help pick up the ball.

Who knew that when he turned around and picked up a ball that the player had missed, another player, whether intentionally or unintentionally, shot hard on the back of Tang Feng's head, and then... he fainted.

As for who played, Tang Feng didn't know much about who he played at the time.

Before, Tang Sen also roughly learned about the situation from the team doctor, so he knew that Tang Feng was knocked out by the team's top scorer and Spanish international Alfonso.

Tang Feng was not angry when he learned about this from Tang Sen. In his opinion, Alfonso probably kicked his head accidentally. After all, even if it was Beckham, he was not sure that he could kick a person in the head with all his strength. Therefore, this matter can only be said to be the unlucky Tang Feng before.

Of course, Tang Feng was also a little unhappy. Because as the "perpetrator", Afangsuo seemed to have never visited him, let alone expressed his apology in person.

It took Tang Sen's car to go from the hospital to Tang Sen's house for only more than ten minutes.

Tangsen's house is located next to the famous Guadalquivir River in Seville. More than 500 years ago, Columbus's journey of discovery set sail from this river. The rise of a sea empire and the tragedy of a continent also began.

The west bank of the Guadalquivir River is the Tiana district of Seville, which is also the main living area of ​​Seville. Bars and small restaurants are also concentrated in this area. Standing on the west bank, you can see the symbolic church, castle, golden tower and bullfighting ring of the old town of Seville.

Tang Sen’s house is not a luxury house, but it has everything you should have. In fact, being able to own a riverside house on the west bank of the Guadalquivir River has proved that this guy is a "bourgeoisie"!

Tang Sen was one of the earliest Chinese people to come to Seville to make gold and an olive oil businessman. Seville's olive oil is world-famous, so the competition in this industry in this city is very fierce, but Tang Sen entered this industry without hesitation. According to another memory of Tang Feng, Tang Sen once told him about his entrepreneurial history more than once. In his mouth, his entrepreneurial journey was ups and downs and heart-stirring.

Although Tang Feng cannot guarantee whether there is any exaggerated element in Tang Sen's words, it is definitely not easy for a Chinese to make his own world in a foreign country and a local characteristic industry.

After so many years of operation, although Tang Sen's company is not very large, it is stable. Tang Sen himself is also the most famous Chinese businessman in the Seville region.

In Western countries, having money does not necessarily mean you have status.

In Seville, there are not many Chinese who are richer than Tang Sen, but Tang Sen was the first Chinese to integrate into the upper-class circle of Seville. The reason for this is all because of Tang Sen's other identity, which is the small shareholder of Betis Club.

As we all know, early La Liga clubs basically adopted a membership system.

However, the characteristic of "players spend money, members pay for the bill" made it difficult for the club management to tighten the string of "living within their means" on financial issues. To put it bluntly, the club management will not feel distressed and uncontrollable when spending members' money. As a result, in the late 1980s, heavy debt became a common feature of many La Liga teams.

In order to save professional clubs and save the league, the Spanish government helped the clubs pay off their debts in 1990, but stipulated that those indebted clubs must be reorganized into Liability Limited Sports Co., Ltd., which means that these indebted clubs will be transformed from a classical membership system to a modern joint-stock system.

Moreover, this reorganization must be completed before June 30, 2019.

Of course, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bilbao and Osasuna were in good financial situation at that time, and they became the only four pure membership clubs in La Liga without limited liability sports companies.

Regarding reorganization, theoretically speaking, as long as the club's members and fans can complete the subscription of the club's future shares and help the club pay off the debts they owe, these members and fans will still be the absolute masters of the team. It's just that their identities have changed from members to shareholders.

However, not all club members and fans can bear the club's debts and fully subscribe to the club's future shares.

In this way, a tycoon will naturally spend huge amounts of money to gain many shares and become a major shareholder. After the reorganization is completed, the major shareholder will reasonably enter the club's board of directors and become the actual head of the limited liability sports company.

Real Betis Chairman Ruiz Lopela raised an extremely important 650 million pesetta when Betis Club was in trouble when Betis was reorganized and helped Betis Club complete registration, and became the hero in the minds of Betis fans and the major shareholder of the club, and became the club chairman.

In fact, when Betis was in danger, Tang Sen was also a hero in saving the club. However, he invested far less than Lopela, and the timing was not as critical as when Lopela invested. Therefore, when Lopela became the hero in the minds of Betis fans, Tang Sen seemed a little unknown. At most, people only knew that the club had a small shareholder like him!

However, in Sevilla's upper-class circle, this identity of the shareholder of Real Betis is still very useful.

After entering the door, Tang Feng discovered that compared with the typical Gothic architectural style of the exterior, Tang Sen’s decoration style was still in a clear Chinese style.

"Xiaofeng, you are here! I heard your uncle say that you fainted today. How are you doing now? Is it okay?" As soon as I entered the door, Tang Feng's cousin dressed in a housewife walked over with concern and asked about Tang Feng's situation.

"It's okay, my cousin. I was just kicked by the ball. My cousin took me to check up just now, and the doctor said there was no problem." Looking at my cousin's worried look, Tang Feng had to explain with a smile.

"It's good that it's okay. But you still have to be careful in the future. In the future, players can stand a little further and don't be kicked again." My cousin reminded him with a serious look on his face.

Tang Feng was embarrassed to wiping his cousin's kindness, and just smiled and nodded to show that he knew.

After arriving at the living room, Tang Feng glanced around because according to his other memory, he should have a little cousin. So he asked, "Where is Yanyan?"

"I ran to Madrid with her classmates to watch the concert. I am such a wild girl. I don't stay at home all day!" Tang Sen shook his head and said helplessly.

"Haha, it is normal for young people like them to chase stars." Tang Feng said with a smile.

"Tsk, you boy, you're very old!" Tang Sen raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Feng and said.

Soon, my cousin brought one dish after another to the dining table.

At the dinner table, my cousin kept picking up food for Tang Feng to eat. Tang Feng's rice bowl has basically always been in a state of "pile piled up into mountains".

"Xiaofeng, the club is not in good condition now. I don't know if I can relegate this season. But Hiddink is a good coach, and it is a good opportunity to be a translator. I know you also like football and hope to be a coach in the future. Then you have to learn more from him. If the club fails to relegate, he will definitely not stay. So, you have to seize the opportunity." During the meal, Tang Sen did not forget to remind Tang Feng to seize the opportunity.

Tang Feng nodded constantly after hearing Tang Sen's words. This was not perfunctory. Because he suddenly felt that being able to become a famous coach like Hiddink was indeed a good opportunity for him to learn.

What Tang Sen said next allowed Tang Feng to find his goal after traveling through time.

"You work hard and learn things well. After you learn how to be a coach, I will arrange for you to be a coach in the youth team. When you slowly hone your youth team for a few years, it is not impossible to go to the first team to be an assistant coach or even a head coach!" Tang Sen held a piece of chicken, but did not stuff it into his mouth, but waved his chopsticks while talking. The oil on the chicken dripped all over the table without even realizing it.

Before traveling through time, Tang Feng had a rebellious period when he was young and was very repulsive of the paths arranged by his parents and elders. But after he graduated and was struggling to find a job, he suddenly realized that sometimes, it was a happy thing to have a clear path that would allow him to follow the steps step by step.

Just like today, Tang Feng, who was originally very confused after traveling through time, finally found his goal when he heard the path pointed out by his cousin Tang Sen.

Tang Feng has been a football enthusiast since elementary school. At first, like many children who play football, his ideal is to become a football star when he grows up. Unfortunately, Tang Feng obviously does not have the talent in this area.

In school, Tang Feng's level is at most at the level where he can play football in school or college games. As he gets older, he gradually understands one truth, that is, his ideals are full, but reality is skinny!

As a result, football gradually changed from an ideal to a hobby.

When I was in college, I played one or two games a week, and occasionally played handsomely on the court to attract girls' attention, that's all!

After graduating from college, the significance of football to Tang Feng changed again, because the hobby of football became a means of his making a living... With so many years of accumulation in playing football, he became a football novel writer.

Tang Feng had to admit that although writing football novels cannot make him make a lot of money like those great masters who write fantasy novels, he still feels very happy to be able to use his hobbies as a job. Of course, it would be even better if he earned enough money to buy a house and a car!

Now that Tang Feng traveled back twelve years ago and became a translator of a famous coach like Hiddink, Tang Feng naturally would not miss the opportunity to learn from this Dutchman. More importantly, Tang Sen's words told him that as long as he wanted, he could embark on the path of coaching.

You can't be a football star, but it's cool to be a coach, isn't it?
