Xue Yang stood outside the KTV box, holding the door handle and let out a long sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to go in, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Xue Yang!" said the person behind him.
Xue Yang turned around and felt that the person in front of him looked very familiar.
Soon he remembered, wasn't he his old classmate Xin Shi!
"It's you Xin Shi! You scared me!" Xue Yang greeted with a smile.
"How's it going recently?" Xin Shi said in a whiny greeting.
"It's okay!" Xue Yang replied with a wry smile.
"Let's go in!" Xin Shi walked into the box with Xue Yang without pursuing him.
The reason why Xue Yang came here today is because today is a reunion of old high school classmates.
Xin Shi is also an old classmate of Xue Yang. In fact, they were not familiar with each other in high school.
But meeting each other after so many years still made Xue Yang very happy.
Xue Yang has been having a very difficult time recently.
The reason why I came here today is that I hope to meet my old classmates and relieve my boredom.
Xue Yang has had a dream since he was a child, which is to become a professional football player.
During his high school days, his classmates were more interested in basketball. Yao Ming made more and more Chinese people fall in love with basketball.
In the past, during lunch break, high school students would go to a fried rice restaurant outside the school and eat fried rice while watching the NBA.
At that time, the fried rice restaurant's business was very prosperous because of this, and it is said that the restaurant has not collapsed to this day.
I think back then, because Yao Ming established himself in the NBA, basketball became the most popular sport among students.
The basketball court in high school was always full, but Xue Yang was different from others.
Although Xue Yang occasionally watches NBA, he loves football even more.
The reason why I fell in love with football was because of the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
The Chinese team participated in the World Cup for the first time in history, which gave Xue Yang the dream of becoming a professional football player.
But the reality is too cruel, Xue Yang does not have such talent.
Since he could not become a professional football player, Xue Yang changed his dream and worked hard towards a professional coach.
Fortunately, he did well in his studies and later studied in Germany, where he went to the Sport University of Cologne, which is famous in football.
Then I graduated in 2009 and returned to China. After all, I returned from studying abroad.
Although it's not a rush, there are still clubs that want him.
In this way, he entered Tianjin Songjiang, which was still in the Second Division of China at the time, and served as a coach for the youth team of Tianjin Songjiang.
However, after actually entering a professional club, Xue Yang realized that he was too naive.
Arrogant and arrogant, he thought his future was bright, and he even fantasized about coaching the Chinese Super League in the future.
Unfortunately, the coaching profession still relies heavily on qualifications.
Later, after leaving Tianjin Songjiang, he joined Taizhou Yuanda and served as the coach of the reserve team.
But just some time ago, Taizhou Yuanda was disbanded.
Now Xue Yang has become a homeless man, which makes him very depressed.
After working hard for so many years, I went from being very high-spirited to being dejected now.
Xue Yang even wondered whether he was not suitable for this profession.
Since becoming a homeless man, Xue Yang has been idle at home for a while.
That's why Xin Shi looked so ugly when he asked questions before.
After Xue Yang and Xin Shi walked in, they looked at familiar faces.
Xue Yang, who was originally in a bad mood, couldn't help but smile.
It’s really been a long time since we last met. Xue Yang has been in Taizhou, Jiangsu due to work.
It is very difficult to meet him, that is, he is out of work now.
The plan for this class reunion is to go to KTV to sing, and then everyone will have a dinner at a restaurant in the evening.
But just after singing, several people left.
Because they all already have families, this also makes Xue Yang a little sad.
He estimated that he was one of the rare single aristocrats here. Xue Yang's circle of friends was filled with content about his old classmates showing off their babies.
Later in the evening, everyone went to a restaurant. This restaurant was very familiar to Xue Yang and was located near the high school.
I didn't expect that this restaurant would still be there after so many years.
We are all adults, so it is inevitable that we will have a drink.
Xue Yang went to the toilet in a hurry to urinate. When he returned to the box and was about to open the door, he suddenly heard the conversation of his old classmates in the room.
"Xue Yang seems to be a football coach! He must make a lot of money. I heard that the Chinese Super League spent a lot of money in the past few years!" said old classmate A.
It turned out that they were secretly chatting about Xue Yang. Because Xue Yang was away from home all year round, he was very mysterious in their eyes.
Moreover, the profession of football coach is so new that Xue Yang may be the only coach they know.
"What a ridiculous amount of money! I saw a piece of news some time ago that a Chinese Super League team won the championship in the first year and disbanded the next year. It was like a joke!" Xinshi said with a smile.
"Ah~ there is this thing!" Another old classmate B said.
"Oh my God! Although basketball has declined a lot since Yao Ming retired, at least it is still top-notch in Asia. I saw a news before that we can't even play in Syria." said the old classmate A from before.
"Syria still wants to play football!" Old classmate B asked curiously.
Hearing the words of the old classmates in the room, Xue Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He wanted very much to refute, but he was unable to do so.
Because Xue Yang knew what they said was true. Since the 2002 World Cup, Chinese football has been going downhill.
Players are also inferior to each other, and the Football Association has promulgated the U23 policy for this reason.
It is hoped that this policy can be used to allow young players to get more playing opportunities.
In fact, in Xue Yang's view, this policy has a good starting point.
As for the team Xinshi mentioned that would disband after winning the championship, it must be Jiangsu Suning.
After calming down, Xue Yang walked in.
Seeing Xue Yang come in, the old classmates quickly ended the conversation.
Xue Yang was originally in a good mood, but after hearing the comments from his old classmates, he became depressed again.
I remember when he was in high school, his hobbies were different from those of his classmates.
Basketball was the most popular in his high school, and there were even grade-level basketball games.
As for football, almost no one pays attention to it. Although there are many people in the football field, they are all running on the nearby track.
On the football field, there are either couples or people walking their dogs.
Xue Yang returned home drunk because he no longer had a job.
So he returned to his hometown and temporarily lived in his parents' house.
At this time, his parents had gone to sleep, and Xue Yang returned to his room.
Lying in bed, he still couldn't fall asleep. Looking back on the past, he felt like a failure.
He entered football with a dream, but he achieved nothing in so many years.
Not to mention contributing to Chinese football, he didn't even make much money.
Others at his age may have already bought a house or a car.
He didn't even have a job now, and he felt very bitter thinking about this.
This class reunion made Xue Yang, who was already in a bad mood, even more sad.
Soon he became more and more sleepy, and he kept thinking silently in his mind:
"I really want to be a good coach!"
