Calmly putting Xie Zhenye's information back to its original position, Su Feng began to look at the information of other athletes step by step.
How should I put it, from Su Feng's point of view, Coach Tian still has a very vicious eye and is very accurate in judging people.
Although the number of candidate athletes sent this time is large, the quality has indeed dropped significantly, and only the two he selected have the potential to represent the country.
Of course, the injured Xie Zhenye is not included in this list. If Su Feng had not already known about Xie Zhenye's subsequent achievements, I am afraid he would not be optimistic about him now.
However, there is one thing that makes Su Feng shine as an athlete. It sounds more fantasy, and that is the spirit that Xie Zhenye showed during the competition.
Su Feng saw optimism, self-confidence and persistence in it, especially persistence. This is a quality that a sprinter must have, otherwise no matter how talented a sprinter is, he will not be able to fulfill it.
Moreover, in the video of Xie Zhenye before he was injured, although he is still young, he can see a rare spirituality.
"Coach Tian." Su Feng came to Coach Tian's desk with a pile of information.
"After reading it, what about those two people? I think there is still room for improvement, but I'm not sure."
"There's no rush, Coach Tian, I think you should take a look at this." Su Feng handed Xie Zhenye's information to the other party, plugged in the USB flash drive, and opened one of the other party's game videos.
This is a video of Xie Zhenye participating in a competition with the district team. He started quickly and flexibly, and accelerated powerfully. Of course, it was only for his age and stage, but it was not enough to impress the coach of the national team.
"I have an impression of this athlete. He is quite spiritual, but from what he looks like in the video, he still needs to train for two years to see the results."
There are so many sports talents in the country, and there are many like Xie Zhenye. In Coach Tian’s eyes, we really need to take another look.
Su Feng's eloquence was not enough to change Coach Tian's mind, so he could only use the magic weapon blessed by his successful background - intuition.
"Coach, I feel that this person's talent, as shown in the video, is far from the limit. I am optimistic about him and want to recruit him into the national team for training."
Only Su Feng dared to speak like this to the head coach of the national relay team. Others did not dare and did not have the qualifications.
But Su Feng is different. The track and field team can achieve its current results because of the contributions of other members, but that is only the foundation.
It is Su Feng who can turn the Chinese team from an ordinary team to a top team, and he has always set defeating the United States and Jamaica as his goal. It does not seem abrupt to say this.
So Coach Tian was not angry, but was a little surprised when he took Xie Zhenye's information and read it.
Su Feng never relied on his own performance to bully others in the national team, and he trained harder than ordinary athletes who had no performance, so it was impossible to say such a thing out of selfishness, it could only be because he was really optimistic about it.
"Do you really think so highly of him?"
"Coach, let's put it this way, if you are willing to recruit him, even if you ask me to use my favor like Xiaotian did last time, I will be willing. My intuition has always been very accurate. This is definitely a talent that is considered excellent in Europe and the United States.
athlete."
"are you serious?"
Su Feng nodded.
That night, Coach Tian and He Jun had a long conversation all night long. Although the specific content of the conversation is unknown, a month after Su Feng went to Chenggong Base for training, he still received Coach Tian’s message about Xie Zhenye entering the country with a special quota.
Announcement from the relay team.
…
This year's Chinese New Year is a bit lively for Su Feng, as his relationship with Qian Mengli was officially made public in both homes.
The beautiful and generous Qian Mengli naturally received a warm welcome from Su's parents and Su's mother, who wished she could be her biological daughter.
But Su Feng wasn't jealous at all, because Su Feng's treatment at Qian Mengli's family was better than this.
Qian Mengli's grandfather was originally a soldier turned athlete, and now works as a sports professor at BJ. He naturally has a natural affinity for athletes like Su Feng who can bring glory to the country.
Influenced by Qian Mengli's grandfather, Qian Mengli's mother was of course very friendly to Su Feng. In this case, Qian Mengli's father would naturally not dare to have any objections.
Moreover, his father's family also has a political background, and they would not have any objections to Su Feng who brought glory to the country.
In the end, Su Feng became the most popular person in Qian Mengli's family, and Qian Mengli became jealous of Su Feng.
However, because the two of them were recognized by both families, even when eating, Qian Mengli had a smile on her lips, and it could be seen that her true mood was extremely happy.
After getting together during the New Year, Su Feng continued to invest in heavy training.
However, during this period, he also received good news, that is, Xie Zhenye's injury has basically improved after receiving guidance and treatment from a professional team in the national team, including auxiliary treatment from professionals like Wang Zongfang, and there has been no recurrence during the period.
In rapid recovery, complete recovery is expected in two to three months.
…
"Su Feng, what are your expectations for this year's competition and what are your thoughts on the showdown between you and Bolt."
"The most important competition I will participate in this year is naturally the IAAF Diamond League. I am expected to participate in all 14 races. To be honest, this number exceeds my expectations. The competition time span is longer and the events are more intensive.
Having a wider geographical distribution is a challenge for me and a challenge for other athletes.
For the duel between Bolt and me, this is a long-term process. I am ready and I believe he is also ready.
But just like Bolt has also participated in some regional competitions, my competition this year will not start from the Diamond League, but from the Track and Field Grand Prix in Osaka, Japan."
"Su Jun, Osaka, Japan has many years of experience in hosting track and field competitions, but this time it was not qualified to host the Diamond League. What do you think?"
"This is something that the IAAF needs to consider. I am just an athlete and have no opinion on this."
Yes, Osaka was not qualified to host the Diamond League this time, but the reasons were rather complicated. Su Feng didn’t know the specific reasons, and there was no need to take a trip into this muddy water.
On May 2, 2010, the Osaka Grand Prix of Japan officially started at the Nagai Gymnasium in Japan.
Since the IAAF restructured the Golden League and greatly increased the gold content of the Diamond League, there are far fewer famous athletes willing to travel long distances to Japan to participate in competitions than before.
For example, in the 100 meters, apart from Su Feng, only Walter Disco from the United States participated, and the others were all athletes outside the top ten in the world.
However, there was an athlete participating in this game that Su Feng had not expected, Blake! A guy even more talented than Powell!
"Did you finally show up?"
According to the original history, Blake was still aiming to enter the world-class youth competition in 2008, and began to enter the world-class competition in the second half of 2009.
However, perhaps due to the butterfly effect, Blake did not appear in last year's Golden League. However, Su Feng also learned from the media that Blake in this life still entered the command of Bolt's coach Mills.
Having become Bolt's younger brother, and with Mills' ability to train athletes, I believe that after a longer preparation time than in the past, Blake may be stronger than when he entered adult competitions in his previous life.
"Then let me weigh it." Su Feng, who originally treated this match as an ordinary match, suddenly became interested.
When facing Bolt by himself, even if Su Bingtian in this life can run around 9.83 seconds in all competitions, Blake, who can run 9.69 seconds, still has no chance of winning unless he can be stronger. Regardless.
After all, this Blake is the biggest obstacle for the Chinese relay team to defeat Jamaica in Su Feng's plan. Naturally, if you have the opportunity, you should know about it in advance.
Moreover, Bolt’s junior brother is here, so it would be inappropriate not to entertain him properly.
