Chapter 274 Crab’s Shell (Chinese National Football Team Story, Daily Transition)
Gao Qi dragged his tired body back to the hotel room.

Although his body had long been transformed into a “monster level” by various passive modules, he could still feel endless fatigue after the game. That kind of fatigue was like all the water in his body had been drained out.

Squeak.

The door was gently closed.

The expressions of the Football Association officials in the corridor gradually changed from excitement to disappointment. They paced back and forth, but did not have the courage to knock on the door.
His tone was regretful: “If Xiao Gao doesn’t come to the celebration party, who would dare to pick up the chopsticks?”

The team doctor looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: “Gao Qi’s injury recovered very quickly, which is incredible, but he has too many old injuries accumulated in his body. He should take good care of himself and not drink alcohol.”

“That makes sense. We can’t disturb Xiao Gao’s rest. I’m worried that with his personality, he won’t be suitable for being an official in the future. He won’t be suitable for developing China’s football career. Take tonight’s celebration banquet for example. He should at least give face to the leaders of the relevant departments, go over to toast and say something nice.”

“If you only have strength but don’t know how to maneuver, your path will only become narrower and narrower.”

“You should talk to him properly.”

The Football Association officials spoke with deep sincerity.

The team doctor nodded seriously.

not far away.

Translator Zhao silently relayed the situation to Lippi.

Lippi smiled and said: “That official is not a bad person, he just wanted to give Gao a kind reminder.”

It’s well-intentioned.

There is no right or wrong in ideas, and learning to seek personal gain is not necessarily a bad thing.

Everyone grows up in a different stage and era, and the way they climb is different.

It’s just that Gao Qi’s personality is not suitable for scheming.

Put down your schoolbag.

Gao Qi was so tired that he fell on the bed.

With his physical fitness, he can easily play another overtime.

In the recent Champions League final, he fought with the ceremonial midfielder and the explosive instant noodle Ronaldo until overtime and was still able to operate at full capacity.

But once I leave the football field, endless fatigue sweeps over my whole body.

[National team achievement achieved: We qualified! ]

[Introduction: You led the Chinese team to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, realized your own value, and fulfilled the dreams of countless Chinese fans! ]

[Quest Reward: “King of Adversity” Module (Legendary Passive)]

【When your team is in adversity during the game, you can still keep a calm mind.】

[You won’t throw your hands up to your teammates and curse them as trash when you’re behind; nor will you glare at and hate those fans who love China after losing.]

【This module can help you stay calm on a physiological level. 】

[Over the course of millions of years of evolution, mammals have triggered a “manic life-saving mechanism” when they are in desperate situations, but some humans are the opposite. Their frontal lobes have evolved a “rational freezing mechanism” and have an indomitable will to survive in desperate situations.]

[“Seven-Character Verse·Climbing Mount Lu”, “Picking Mulberry Leaves·Double Ninth Festival”, “Xijiangyue·Jinggang Mountain”, “Seven-Character Verse·Long March”.]

It is worthy of being a legendary passive module!
Gao Qi was overjoyed.

Being calm on a physiological level means something very simple. Although it does not improve combat effectiveness, it does not waste time fighting with teammates, fans, referees, and opponents, and enables more rational team communication.

After going through the brutal Top 40 and Top 12 rounds.
He gradually realized that the challenges and sources of pressure faced by the club and the national team are different.

At Garcia’s suggestion, he tried “underwater hand-tied escape” training, trying to improve the body’s cortisol regulation ability and adjust the endorphin release threshold, but it was of no use.

It’s different now.

The “King of Adversity” module can help people stay calm on a physiological level.

This module may be related to physical elements such as cortisol, endorphins, oxytocin, glutamate, etc.

The next day.

The plane flew through the clouds and landed at an airport in a city in China.

Countless Chinese fans have been waiting for a long time, welcoming the triumphant return of the national football team in the warmest way.

The magnificent red ocean.

A banner slowly unfolds.

Shaking poster.

The reporters had already set up their cameras. In the spacious square, when Gao Qi appeared, the atmosphere reached its climax.

“Gao Qi!!!”

“Outstanding hero!”

“The savior of Chinese football!”

Cheers rang out one after another, as if people were holding a grand ceremony.

Gao Qi responded with a wave of enthusiasm.

At this moment, he is happy, and Chinese fans are also happy.

CTV5 simultaneously broadcast the Chinese national football team’s triumphant return home.

Barrage flying.
–
[This square is well chosen, it’s big enough! ]
–
[Gao Qi’s attitude towards Chinese fans is really good, he doesn’t put on airs at all.]
–
[The fan uncle who just shook hands and hugged him was crying so hard! ]
–
[I am so touched. I will never follow Hei Gaoqi again in my life. ]
–
[Did you watch the news? Those internet celebrities who were always slandering Gao Qi were beaten up badly.]
–
[There won’t be a scene where a stupid artist asks security guards to drive away the crowd and block the road, affecting traffic. ]
–
[The cleaner at my workplace told me: Gao Qi has a potential value, which is to suppress the “de-masculinization” strategy of certain foreign forces against China. There is no market for sissy artists! That’s why there are so many people online who are slandering him! ]
–
[There are not so many conspiracy theories. Gao Qi’s greatest potential value is: to allow Chinese football to skip decades of youth training and become the best in Asia! It’s not a good thing in the long run, but for the time being, it’s definitely a good thing! ]

Lippi was slightly surprised when he saw this scene.

The famous Apennine coach had seen numerous storms, but he had not fully anticipated that the Chinese national football team’s qualification would cause such a sensation.

A leader of the Chinese national football team looked anxious. He leaned close to Assistant Coach Li’s ear and whispered something.

Assistant Coach Li looked up and said angrily, “Why are you rushing me? Didn’t you see Gao Qi shaking hands with the fans? Get that sea cucumber sponsor out of the way!”

“No matter how busy the schedule is, nothing is more important than thanking the Chinese fans!”

“Fuck you guys, don’t mess up the national team’s image rights agreement just because Gao Qi doesn’t care about these things! And don’t fucking organize some messed up sponsor activities!”

The Chinese national football team has qualified.

Assistant Coach Li also became more confident.

Translator Zhao also echoed, straightened his chest, and shouted angrily: “The situation is different now, don’t do it stupidly! You have to be clear-headed!”

Many football stars have had unpleasant experiences with their country’s football associations over image rights.

Gao Qi himself doesn’t care. He believes that the Chinese Football Association is rich and will not arrange too many sponsor activities. The cooperating sponsors must be high-quality and conscientious national companies.

After a long time.

Gao Qi bid farewell to the fans reluctantly.

The bus slowly drove away.

The fans in the square were still shouting the names of their heroes.

Some people even jogged after the bus.

Lippi opened the next itinerary: “China Men’s National Football Team Triumphant Summary and Commendation Conference and National Sports Work Conference.”

Hot summer.

Everyone, tired from the long journey, suddenly felt sleepy while enjoying the air-conditioning.

“Comrade Gao Qi! Wake up!”

“How can young people be so lazy? Get off the bus and change your clothes to attend the commendation meeting.”

Gao Qi slowly opened his eyes and saw a leader with a big belly and a slightly bald head “scolding” him.

He smiled and carefully held the flowers in his arms. These were flowers given to him by Chinese fans.

The atmosphere was awkward.

The bald leader felt the angry looks from people around him and ran away from the bus in embarrassment.

The reporter accompanying the team was stunned and wrote quickly.

Assistant Li blew his bangs, snatched the notebook, took a look, and quickly stopped him: “What the hell? This is not an obedience test, nor is it a test. The leader is concerned about Gao Qi.”

“Don’t write nonsense, kid!”

“What crab shell?”

“Chinese football is very healthy and clean.”

“Just play football, there’s no need to worry about the off-field issues.”

“The Chinese national football team’s qualification will not cover up any problems, because there are no problems in the first place.”

“I’ll teach you how to write. Write something positive, upbeat, and about the joy of passing the test, and highlight Gao Qi’s role.”
