Almighty Athlete Chapter 118: Not destined for extraordinary

After the track and field World Cup journey, Zhang Guan went to the country with the national team, but Zhang Guan did not rest immediately. He just met with Sharapova in a hurry, and he left the capital non-stop and rushed to the Xinzhuang base to continue Training to prepare for this year's Golden Track and Field Grand Prix.

Last year’s first track and field gold grand prix was held very successfully, and this year’s second grand prix, the organizer’s organizational experience and coordination ability have also been greatly enhanced, and the order of the entire event is more methodical.

This year’s Golden Grand Prix deliberately added a 200-meter event, which was specially added for Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan still has to participate in the four events of 100-meter, 200-meter, 400-meter and long jump. The organizer also specially created a "king of world sprint" trophy, ready to be awarded to Zhang Guan after the game.

In terms of athletes, there are also some big-name players. On the 100m project, both Powell and Obick Viru participated in the competition. Tyson Guy on the 200m project and Varina did not come on the 400m project, but Merritt and Blackwood are two big names. The players came to participate. As for the long jump event, the well-known one is Wallace Phillips.

So, Zhang Guan won the 100m, 200m, 400m and long jump champions without any suspense, and also won the "trophy of the king of the world sprint".

The day after the Golden Grand Prix, Zhang Guan rushed to the capital to find Sharapova, and it was on this day that the China Open game ended, and Sharapova continued the US Open. In good condition, he won the China Open championship at "home".

Because of the "Zhang Guan girlfriend" status, the current China Open is simply Sharapova's home field. Sharapova's popularity is already very high, plus the audience's love for Zhang Guan and Wu, Sara Pova is even more popular than several golden flowers in China. Especially in the last game between her and Maurice Moss, the audience simply supported Sharapova on one side. Maurice Mo was originally a relatively slow-heated athlete, and encountered the situation where the audience supported the opponent, but became more slowly and warmed up. Sharapova was taken away by 2:0.

For Zhang Guan, this year’s special track and field competition is now over, and there are two months before the Doha Asian Games in December. Zhang Guan also got a short holiday and can be with Sharapova Travel around the mountains and water.

Field Management Center.

Director Ma was a bit sad, and just after the meeting of the center, the president of the association Qu also attended. At the same time, director Luo also read out an appointment document from the association and announced that president Qu also served as the executive deputy director of the center. Reminiscent of the rumor that Director Luo was going to be promoted before, all the participants understood that Chairman Qu was here to pick up Director Luo's class.

Director Luo is about to be retired because of guidance. Both of them have been working with Director Ma for many years. Now they have to leave. Director Ma feels very unpleasant.

At this moment, knocking on the door sounded, and Director Ma did not have time to answer, and saw Director Luo directly push the door in.

"Director." Director Ma stood up, and Director Luo was also polite, sitting on the sofa, so Director Ma also came over and sat on the sofa next to him.

Just listen to Director Luo Luo’s remarks: “Come to you to talk about things that are too old to retire. I’ll be sixty years old at the end of the year. This retirement is a national policy. We must definitely implement it seriously. Therefore, it is impossible to postpone the resignation. But there must be no problem with re-employment. There are two years to come in the next Olympics. How can I let the old one bring the Olympics to the past. There is no problem with this old one!"

Director Ma shook his head: "It must be okay. Although I am 60 years old now, my body is stronger than the average guy. It is estimated that the young people who work all day can't run past him."

"That's good!" Director Luo thought for a while, and then said: "Lao Ma, if the track and field team has any needs or difficulties recently, please give me as much as possible. I can solve it. I will help you solve it."

Director Ma immediately understood what Director Luo meant. Director Luo wanted to help himself again before he was transferred away. Director Luo is still the director of the field management center, so he can still meet some of the requirements of the track and field team. If the next leader takes office, it will be difficult to say what the situation is.

Director Ma hesitated and asked, "Is the time set?"

"Sure, after the Asian Games!" Director Luo took a deep breath, and then said: "The organization also trusts me very much, let me continue to lead the team to participate in this Asian Games, it is also considered completed The final answer!"

Director Ma thought for a while, lowered his voice, and then said: "There is one more thing, I have to discuss it with you first. I heard that Chairman Qu has been opposed to the establishment of a Zhang Guan broker team to operate the business independently. Value development, if he is going to take the commercial value development right of Zhang Guan, then it will be really troublesome. Zhang Guan I understand the child, looking young, but I am more stubborn than anyone else, I worry that the two will not give in to each other. Ah!"

"This is really a very troublesome problem." Director Luo also frowned: "We have different national conditions from foreign countries. If they are placed abroad, athletes are rarely restricted, but in our country, even if it is The world champion still has to bow his head."

"Yeah, what I am worried about is this. If it is another athlete, what we are talking about in the center, even if there is resistance in my heart, I still have to obediently obey. And Zhang Guan is full of full play, and I have practiced sports for three years. Athletes who are not trained in the traditional system, have no awe of the traditional system. And more importantly, the results achieved by Zhang Guan now, the world record holders of the three sprint events! It is already unprecedented. "Ma The director said here and sighed helplessly.

Director Luo also fell into silence. Under the domestic sports system, fame and achievements are not death-free gold medals. Sometimes the management agency needs not an athlete who can produce results, but an athlete who is obedient. In the view of those traditional ideas, it is a matter of course for athletes to obediently obey, and if they are not obedient, they should be punished.

This kind of thinking has been slowly formed for a long time. In the past, there was no commercial sports. Professional athletes, like state-owned enterprise workers, receive monthly wages. At that time, the purpose of athletes was also very simple, that is, to win glory for the country. Nor do they care about economic interests, and of course there was no economic interest to consider at that time. After the athletes retire, they are also assigned to work. As an athlete in that era, as long as they don’t make mistakes, they don’t have to worry about life. If many children in rural areas can become athletes, it means that they can become civil servants or workers in the future, they can get their dream "urban hukou", and eat the so-called "national treasury food".

Therefore, under that system, athletes must be obedient. If athletes dare not to obey, suspension of training, dismissal, and even the distribution work after retirement, there will be no guarantee of life for the rest of their lives. And the management organization has gradually developed the traditional thought that you must listen to me when I speak.

But the current situation is different from the past. In the past, athletes had to rely on the traditional system, and now well-known athletes have received several advertisements for several years of income. Sometimes a big endorsement is enough for athletes to spend the rest of their lives. Competent athletes find that they can live well without relying on the system.

Although many management organizations are slowly advancing with the times, many management organizations still use the old traditional ideas to manage, and of course some conflicts will inevitably erupt.

However, when the contradiction really breaks out, there must be a failure or a compromise. However, from the current situation, the one who fails or actively chooses to compromise is an athlete.

In the contradictory conflict between the two sides, the management agency has too many practical weapons, such as various types of punishments, suspensions, media bans and smears, prohibition of going abroad, expulsion, etc., and the athletes may be able to honor Only fame. Reasoning this kind of thing has always been just empty talk of ideals who are not involved in the world. Even if everyone is sympathetic to you, it is still useless. "Sympathy" is just pale and weak in front of realistic means.

In fact, there are not many examples of star-level athletes confronting management agencies, and there are only a few examples that can be thought of. Under the domestic athlete selection system, through the selection and training of sports teams at all levels, county, city, and province sports teams, those so-called "thorns" have already kicked out the athletes' team, and some are left behind. People who are willing to obey.

And Director Luo and Director Ma are very worried, once Zhang Guan and Director Qu have conflicts, Zhang Guan will misjudge the situation, and naively think that relying on their "fame" and "achievement", they can fight the Qu Director's means. But in fact, what he needs to confront is not just a music director, but a traditional management idea, against everyone who has the idea that "athletes will be unconditionally obedient".

After being silent for a while, Director Luo said very confidently: "I think President Qu is dissatisfied even if he is dissatisfied with Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan's achievements and fame are there, President Qu When acting, there will be some scruples."

"The same is true. I hope so!" Director Ma said that, but he looked very pessimistic.

"Okay, old horse, don't think about it anymore. Now you should congratulate me. I am considered to be in the ministry." Director Luo said with a smile.

"Yes, I didn't have time to congratulate you on your promotion." Director Ma also smiled.

For vice presidents of some associations or directors of management centers, it is already a good way to be promoted to the president of the association or transferred to other associations to become the president. Director Luo was transferred to the work of the ministries and committees, obviously entering the training system of reserve cadres. For the career prospects, it is much better than mixing between various sports associations.

The ancient capital of Xijing.

The excitement of Sharapova who just visited the Terracotta Army.

There are too many scenic spots worth seeing in China, but for many foreigners, the natural scenery is far less attractive than places of interest. The natural scenery is given by God. There may be many similarities at the same latitude, but the places of interest are different. He represents the historical and cultural heritage, such as the Forbidden City, such as the Great Wall, such as the Terracotta Army, for foreigners. It is a must-see attraction.

"Terracotta Warriors really shocked me!" Sharapova played with the set of Terracotta Warriors souvenirs in his face with satisfaction.

"About the Terracotta Army, there is actually a love story." Zhang Guan went on to say: "It is said that Qin Shihuang had a bodyguard named Meng Tianfang"

Zhang Guan told Sharapova the story of the war between ancient and modern Qin Terracotta Warriors. Among them, bridges such as immortal medicine and Mengtianfang were made into terracotta warriors and horses, which immediately attracted Sharapova.

"Oh you said that those terracotta warriors and horses, no one will be really sealed inside!" Sharapova asked curiously.

"How is this possible? You just saw a lot of damaged terracotta warriors, there is nothing in it. Martha, this is just a story." Zhang Guan answered.

"Yeah, this is just a story." Sharapova's voice turned and suddenly asked: "If there is a reincarnation, will you still love me?"

"Of course!" Zhang Guan had just spoken, but he thought of himself in the previous life. He sighed, and then said: "Maybe if I reincarnated, I might just be an ordinary person!"

"What's wrong with ordinary people! You can live a normal life, and you can boldly do what you want to do ~IndoMTL.com~ Don't worry about the candid camera paparazzi everywhere, don't even talk all the time Be careful!" Sharapova took a deep breath and sighed: "That's my dream of free life!"

"But it may be another way." Zhang Guan paused, and then said: "Every day in order to survive the hard work, facing the high housing prices, the ocean is sighing, and we can't talk about it in the face of increasing prices. I will worry about losing my job, repeating the same thing every day, gradually being smoothed out by my life, my ideals are beginning to become, I have become forward looking, I have truly turned my dreams into illusory dreams, and have been living in vain "

"I don't quite understand, why do you think so?" Sharapova added: "This is too negative."

"The reality is often the cruelest." Zhang Guan suddenly laughed: "So if I can really choose again, I think I will not be an ordinary person."

"What if you don't have a choice?" Sharapova asked a little bit dissatisfied.

Zhang Guan took Sharapova in her arms, kissed her on the forehead with her head tilted, and then said: "If you have no choice, try hard to make my life change It's extraordinary!" (Unfinished.)
