Chapter 284: The Strongest Level Athlete on Earth
After taking the comprehensive science test, the college entrance examination was finally over. Jiang Yuan took his pencil case and left the examination room under the escort of the staff of Qingshan Middle School.

"Jiang Yuan!"

"Xiao Jiang! Take a photo, I want a photo!"

"Fuck, it's really Jiang Yuan!"

At this time, thousands of people had gathered outside the Qingshan Middle School examination site, but unlike previous college entrance examinations, there were more fans outside the examination room today.

Of course, there are also reporters who are ready.

"Mr. Jiang, do you want to be interviewed?"

The school security guard asked Jiang Yuan, who nodded, and the security guard motioned the reporter to move forward. During this time, Jiang Yuan signed autographs for many fans around him.

Jiang Yuan found that many of the clothes handed over by Chinese fans were Thai versions, but it didn't matter. Making money or not was a small matter. The most important thing was that fans were willing to support. If Chinese fans wanted to buy genuine British jerseys, they had to exchange RMB for pounds. It would cost at least 300 yuan to buy an authentic fan jersey, which was indeed a considerable expense.

"Jiang Yuan, this is Qingshan Evening News!"

The female reporter handed over the microphone. The reporter looked to be in her 20s and seemed to have been carefully selected by the newspaper: "Student Jiang Yuan, may I ask, how difficult do you think the college entrance examination is this time? Is it difficult for you?"

Jiang Yuan pursed his lips: "It must be difficult. Anyway, it is very difficult for me to do it..."

Jiang Yuan was right. From Chinese to mathematics, to English, and finally to comprehensive science, the four exams made Jiang Yuan feel like he was unable to move forward.

Jiang Yuan didn’t feel as uncomfortable as he does now when he played against Manchester City in the Champions League.

“Yeah, other students said the same thing.”

The female reporter nodded: "We observed earlier that both the Chinese language test and the math test appeared in the college entrance examination questions. Do you think you benefited from it?"

amount……

Jiang Yuan thought about it carefully, and then answered: "I feel okay. I was very confused when I first saw the Chinese composition. To be honest, I don't know what I was thinking at the time."

Jiang Yuan's words made the surrounding fans and parents laugh. He encountered his own questions in the college entrance examination, and in two consecutive exams. It can be said that Jiang Yuan has never been so successful.

"math!"

"math test!"

The parents of the candidates around reminded her, and the female reporter understood and asked her third question: "The math test asked about the weight of the Premier League trophy. There were many traps set by the teacher in that question. Did you answer it correctly?"

“Is it 25kg?”

Jiang Yuan asked tentatively, and the people around him immediately started to make a noise, asking Jiang Yuan whether he calculated it or answered from memory.

"Excuse me, did you calculate it?"

"Well, I can't calculate, but I have a rough feeling..."

Jiang Yuan was a little relieved. If they had lost to Leicester City in the last round of the league, he would most likely have answered this question incorrectly. After all, no one would know the weight of the Premier League trophy unless they were particularly experienced fans.

The reporter from Qingshan Evening News wanted to ask more questions, but was immediately squeezed out by the CCTV reporter.

There are a total of 3 CCTV reporters, namely CCTV4 Chinese International, CCTV5 Sports, and CCTV13 News.

CCTV5 reporter Wang Nan never thought that one day he would have to interview a college entrance examination candidate who had just left the examination room.

The cameraman positioned the camera, and Wang Nan put the microphone to his lips: "Mr. Jiang... maybe I should call you Jiang Yuan?"

"Just call me classmate"

"Well, Jiang Yuan, we have a question for you. There was a rumor that the school wants you to participate in the National Youth Football League. Is this true?"

“That’s true, but the feasibility of this is very low.”

Jiang Yuan said honestly: "If I participate in the school football game, I will definitely be blocked by the club. I know I am a student of Qingshan Middle School, but sometimes I can't do what I want to do."

really……

Wang Nan sighed. Due to the club's relationship, this matter could only be discussed. The feasibility of actually implementing it was too low.

If Chelsea really let Jiang Yuan participate in a middle school football match, they would probably be scolded by the British media.

You know, at the beginning Mourinho let Jiang Yuan start in consecutive games, but the Portuguese's Twitter and Instagram were directly bombarded by Chelsea fans.

There have been more than one cases in history where young players have been ruined due to excessive training intensity.

When the fans heard Jiang Yuan's reply, they all felt a little disappointed.

The five major leagues and the Champions League all ended in May, and there were no games to watch in June and July. For fanatical fans, this is like being in prison. For two months, the only thing they can pay attention to is the transfer window of the five major leagues.

Manchester United previously said they wanted to buy Pogba, but it’s not known whether they will actually do so.

"So, regarding the Olympics, Jiang Yuantong... Jiang Yuan, are you sure you will participate?"

Wang Nan asked again, and silence immediately fell outside the examination room.

It is said that Jiang Yuan will play in the Olympics, but so far there has been no news from the Football Association, the Olympics, and even Chelsea, which has made everyone panic.

"This is inevitable. I have already discussed it with the club."

Jiang Yuan answered truthfully that there was no need to hide this matter anymore. He had already discussed it with the club a month before the end of the season.

Mendes is really awesome. I don't know how he could convince the Chelsea management.

According to the agreement between the two parties, if the National Olympic Team is eliminated, Jiang Yuan needs to return to the club as soon as possible. If he plays until the final, Jiang Yuan will miss the first three rounds of the Premier League 16-17 season.

"This is definitely good news for our Chinese fans."

Wang Nan smiled. As a professional football reporter, he was very clear about Jiang Yuan's current situation. Since he would miss the first few rounds of the league, if he could not get an Olympic medal, Jiang Yuan would suffer a great loss.

And to be honest, even if they won the championship, it was not Jiang Yuan who made the profit, but the National Olympic Team. Jiang Yuan's move was equivalent to sacrificing himself for the team.

Wang Nan passed the microphone to Jiang Yuan again: "As for the head coach of your National Olympic Team, Li Yi, have you contacted him?"

“I added him on WeChat, but we haven’t had any direct communication yet.”

“I am very much looking forward to working with Instructor Li Yi”

１７ Mar ２００４.

The front page headline of "China Sports Daily" - The National Olympic Committee has reached an agreement with Chelsea Club. Chelsea star Jiang Yuan will participate in the club's new season training on July 7 and report to the National Olympic Team on the afternoon of July 10.

The Sun's front page second article: Jiang may be fined 50 pounds by the club for participating in the Olympics, which is about twice the player's weekly salary. According to reporters, because of the championship last season, the club may not take punitive measures against Jiang.

Italian famous reporter Romano: Real Madrid made an offer to Chelsea for Jiang, and it is reported that the offer may exceed 1.2 million euros, but Chelsea rejected the transfer.

《TA》——3200 million euros! Leicester City midfielder Kante transferred to Chelsea with a weekly salary of 14 pounds before tax.

Romano: Here we go! Paris defender David Luiz transfers to Chelsea for a transfer fee of approximately 3500 million euros.

"World Sports" - Southampton striker Sadio Mane joined Liverpool for a fixed transfer fee of 4000 million euros.

Blogger David Ornstein: Manchester United is offering 9000 million euros for Pogba, and Juventus is positive about the transfer of the French midfielder.

……

The transfer window of the five major leagues is slowly advancing, but this has nothing to do with Jiang Yuan at the moment. What awaits him next is a month-long vacation.

Before going on vacation with his family, National Olympic coach Li Yi contacted Jiang Yuan on WeChat.

[Jiang Yuan, according to our discussion, you may not be able to serve as the captain of this Olympics]

Well!
Looking at Li Yi's private message on the phone screen, Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows.

According to Li Yi, Jiang Yuan is too young and does not have enough deterrent power. Also, because the club is preparing for the game, Jiang Yuan's reporting time is much later than other players.

After comprehensive consideration, the first captain of this Olympics is Zhang Linpeng and the second captain is Wu Lei.

Jiang Yuan didn't say much. After all, the captain doesn't necessarily have to have the best skills, but he should have a deterrent and encouraging effect on his teammates.

From two points of view, Zhang Linpeng and Wu Lei can indeed do a lot more than Jiang Yuan.

After the exam, Jiang Yuan will leave China, but before that, Jiang Yuan still has some things to do.

"So I just have to hold this pen, right?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Liu Wei in front of him, the person in charge of Orange Light Stationery.

Jiang Yuan never imagined that after he returned to China, the first merchant that contacted him to be the spokesperson was not for cars or clothing, but for Orange Light Stationery!

1 million RMB per year as a global brand spokesperson, the price is average, but considering that this is a stationery company, Mendes let Jiang Yuan take it.

"Well, that's about it, Mr. Jiang, you can raise the pen a little bit, that's about it!"

Liu Wei was posing for Jiang Yuan, with a white cloth behind him and four large cameras in front. According to the requirements, Jiang Yuan needed to shoot two videos and 2 photos, which were used for video ads and large-screen ads in shopping malls. Previously, Jiang Yuan had caused a lot of discussion around the world because he was preparing for the college entrance examination while participating in the Premier League. There is no doubt that this move by Orange Light is to catch up with this wave of popularity.

The first video is 1 minute and 30 seconds long and has now ended; then comes the second video required by Orange Light, which is 30 seconds long and is used to be inserted in TV drama advertisements.

In order to shoot the second video, Chenguang specially borrowed a classroom from Qingshan Middle School to simulate a class scene. The students and teachers in the classroom were all extras.

Jiang Yuan sat on the chair and picked up his pen. On the table was a familiar math test paper. The questions were difficult, but Jiang Yuan had memorized the answers.

"Ok, that's enough, Mr. Jiang. Start writing the test paper now. It's the two math short answer questions. Just write them down according to what you memorized before. Please write your handwriting a little better."

At the same time, the teacher was giving a lecture at the podium, and Jiang Yuan was writing quickly on the test paper with an orange gel pen.

At this time, the bell rang and the teacher announced the end of get out of class to the students. Jiang Yuan put down his pen and rushed out of the back door of the classroom.

Then there was a transition. After walking out of the classroom, Jiang Yuan came to a football field. Wearing pure blue clothes without any logo, he successfully scored a goal with the cooperation of his teammates.

Tens of thousands of fans cheered in the stands.

The script was specially written by someone hired by Orange Light. Due to copyright issues, Chelsea players and Stamford Bridge cannot appear in the advertisement. But it doesn’t matter, everyone understands it.

In the 30 seconds, he spent 18 seconds listening to the class in the classroom while writing the test paper with an orange gel pen, and the remaining 12 seconds running out of the back door of the classroom, changing into a football jersey, and scoring a goal.

"Fuck, I'm so tired!"

Jiang Yuan took the mineral water handed to him by Liu Wei and gulped down the whole bottle. The creativity of Orange Light is quite good. It is rare for Jiang Yuan to be so satisfied with the content of the advertisement.

“Haha, thank you for your hard work!”

Liu Wei patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder. Jiang Yuan did not give people a very distant feeling like other movie stars. The whole shoot took less than a day and the two of them got along relatively smoothly.

Jiang Yuan pointed at the video on the staff's computer screen and asked: "Why do you want to combine football and study?"

"Ha ha!"

Liu Wei laughed and patiently explained: "Hasn't the country always said that it wants to reduce the burden on students? Our advertisement is responding to the country's policy."

"The theme is to combine work and rest. Students can play some Premier League football to relax when they are tired from doing homework."

After listening to Liu Wei's explanation, Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched.

It has to be a big company like this. When shooting commercials, they try to get as much traffic as possible. It's really awesome.

No wonder Liu Wei asked Jiang Yuan to wear pure blue clothes, it’s all for traffic!

……

At 6:19 pm on June 3, the final of the high school group of the National Youth Campus Football League was held in Guangzhou, Guangdong. Qingshan Middle School defeated XJ Kashgar No. 1 Middle School 1:5 and 3: on penalties to successfully win the championship.

Because of the victory in this game, Qingshan Middle School obtained 6 first-level athlete places. In addition to these 6 first-level athletes, all other players on the competition roster received second-level athlete certificates.

The camera at the football field of South China Normal University was aimed at Jiang Yuan in the stands. Although he did not play in the entire league, because Qingshan Middle School included him in the game roster, Jiang Yuan would also receive an athlete level certificate.

The first level must be given to the freshmen and sophomores in high school, so Jiang Yuan can only be the second level.

On the 11th floor of Rosewood Hotel Guangzhou, Jiang Yuan hosted a banquet for all the members of Qingshan Middle School men's football team, including head coach He Qiongshan and assistant coach Luo Kang.

"Brother He, Brother Kang, thank you so much. I won a level 2 opponent without any effort."

Jiang Yuan walked towards He Qiongshan and He Luokang with the hotel and said jokingly.

He Qiongshan rolled his eyes at Jiang Yuan, then raised his glass and said, "Come on, everyone, fill up your glasses. Let's toast to this respected national second-level athlete!"

After saying that, He Qiongshan took the lead and drank all the red wine in the quilt.

"woww!"

"Brother Yuan is awesome!"

Without thinking twice, everyone else stood up and toasted Jiang Yuan.

"Brother He, Brother Kang, what are you going to do next? Will you still be coaches at Qingshan Middle School?"

Jiang Yuan gestured to He Qiongshan and Luo Kang to sit down. After the two coaches sat down, Jiang Yuan also sat back in his seat.

Although he was a substitute player who didn't even have a chance to play, Jiang Yuan still took the center position in this celebration banquet.

“Of course, there is a high school energy, and I love coaching at Aoyama High School!”

He Qiongshan picked up a duck tongue and put it directly into his mouth without dipping it in sauce.

"Jiang Yuan, don't listen to his nonsense"

Luo Kang rolled his eyes at He Qiongshan next to him and said, "He now has an annual salary of 36, and the school gives him a bonus every month, which adds up to 100 a year. Most Chinese League One clubs don't have such a high salary."

"You don't do the same!"

He Qiongshan said unhappily, accusing Luo Kang of telling the truth.

"More than 100?"

Jiang Yuan's eyes widened: "Isn't ours a public school? Can we offer such high salaries?"

"You don't know this!"

Looking at Jiang Yuan, He Qiongshan's face was full of smiles again. "Our school has expanded its enrollment. Your brother Kang and I are now in charge of 7 football teams. We are considered the managers of the Qingshan Middle School football team. The training fee for a football student for one semester is 5800. 2000 goes to the school, and the rest is shared by your brother Kang and me. Then there is the championship bonus. A provincial champion school rewards 30, and I can get another 10. To be honest, with our current configuration, there is no high school in ZJ Province that can beat us."

"You know, we get this bonus every year."

Damn it?

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment. This school leader was really awesome. He expanded and monopolized all the football students in the province.

"Well, with so many of you, why don't you find a few more coaches?"

Luo Kang on the side explained: "Of course there are, but those are only physical education teachers who are good at football, not professional coaches. Their salaries are issued by the Education Bureau. They can get bonuses, but they cannot get a share of the students' training fees, otherwise they will be arrested."

"Aren't you two teachers?"

Hearing Jiang Yuan's question, He Qiongshan laughed: "I'm not a physical education teacher. I'm a professional football coach. Otherwise, you can be so awesome, isn't it because I coached you well?"

amount……

He Qiongshan continued to explain to Jiang Yuan: "Qingshan Middle School has been the football overlord of Qingshan City for several years. Do you know why? Because at that time, in the entire Qingshan City, we were the only school that hired a professional football coach. The others all asked physical education teachers to lead the football team part-time. And Chinese physical education teachers are generally good at track and field or martial arts. They know shit about football. In 12 and 13, your brother Kang and I led the football team to kill people in Qingshan City."

"Haha, that's right, but Brother He, we can't take all the credit. After all, the quality of students in Qingshan Middle School is better than other schools. We can only say that we are the icing on the cake."

"..."

He Qiongshan and Luo Kang were lost in their memories. Jiang Yuan sneaked outside to chat with a classmate he knew.

The freshman was a new face, but he knew the players in the sophomores and juniors.

"Brother Jack!"

Jiang Yuan winked at Jin Junjie: "Aren't you a center forward? Why are you playing goalkeeper?"

In Jiang Yuan's memory, Jin Junjie was clearly a 1-meter-tall center forward. However, when he watched the game today, he suddenly discovered that this guy was wearing goalkeeper gloves. Jiang Yuan was almost scared to death at the beginning of the game.

"Brother He took a look and said that I am more suitable to be a goalkeeper. In fact, I prefer to score goals in the front..."

"You are more suitable to be a goalkeeper"

Jiang Yuan laughed: "I watched more than 90 minutes of the game. Your performance as a goalkeeper was much better than that as a center forward. If you hadn't saved the penalty, we might not have won."

Although he has never played on stage, Jiang Yuan has always referred to this group as "we", which shows that he has a special sense of belonging here.

"I also feel that I have only been a goalkeeper for less than a year, and I won the Golden Glove in the provincial super league at the beginning of the year."

Chen Yushuo leaned his head closer: "So sometimes I have to admit that talent is something that cannot be solved."

"So, brother Jie, what are you going to do next?"

Jiang Yuan raised the doubts in his mind.

Jin Junjie now has two options: play professionally in the China League One or China League Two, or go to college.

The first path has a higher risk, while the second path has a higher upper limit and a lower lower limit.

“I went to Huazhong University of Science and Technology to study”

Jin Junjie gave his answer: "The coach of the football team over there has contacted me. Since I won the championship, I can be admitted."

"Wow!"

Jiang Yuan gave him a thumbs up: "Great! But... you are quite talented, don't you want to consider a career?"

"Brother Yuan, you don't understand this. This is called a college dream! Besides, going to college also gives you the opportunity to play professionally!"

Jin Junjie's face was full of smiles. Jiang Yuan didn't say anything else, but asked other students around him.

Without exception, all the players on this championship team were admitted to 985 or 211 universities and pursued their college dreams through football.

"The system is different. If you play football in college..."

Jiang Yuan felt something was wrong when he was halfway through his words, so he quickly changed the subject: "Brother Jie, Brother Shuo, and Brother Junhao, congratulations on realizing your dream of going to college!"

"Woww~!"

"Brother Yuan, let me toast you again. I stay up late every night to watch your games!"

"Brother Yuan, there's me too!"

……

The State Sports General Administration added 6 second-level football athletes in June: Jiang Yuan, Xu Yuntao, Luo Jianghui, Dong Xiaowei...

The front page headline of "Qingshan Middle School Newspaper" - The strongest second-level athlete on the planet has graduated!
