    Chapter 18 The History of ACE

    At noon, the players of the national team came to the cafeteria one after another. The newcomers who wrote the review saw Coach Jiang, like a mouse seeing a cat, they ducked their heads and hurried away, for fear that they would be caught and scolded.

    On the other hand, Ye Qingming came over cheeky - he was too skilled at writing a review. He finished writing at 3 o'clock last night, slept until 11 o'clock and woke up. He shaved his beard, took a shower, combed his hair, and changed it. clean clothes.

    Last night, answered Lao Lin's phone in a daze, and was woken up by Jiang Shaoyu's icy voice. Ye Qingming didn't wash his face in a hurry.

    After tidying up today, he looks very handsome.

    Ye Qingming has a pair of peach blossom eyes that are full of love, and it is easy to soften his heart when he smiles gently at people. But Jiang Shaoyu had long been accustomed to this guy's thick skin. Seeing him approaching with a smile, he immediately tapped the table with his chopsticks: "Sit away."

    Ye Qingming moved to the side, pretending to be wronged: "Are you so ruthless to your old teammates? I'm not a germ."

    Jiang Shaoyu said lightly, "Come to the office to find me after dinner."

    Ye Qingming blinked: "Reminiscing about the old days?"

    Jiang Shaoyu: "Hand in the review letter."

    Ye Qingming: "..."

    Jiang Shaoyu: "By the way, why did you get suspended?"

    Ye Qingming: "..."

    Damn, does this mean you want to scold him again?

    Zhou Yiran and Lao Lin saw the familiar scene of "Yi Ye Xing Xun", and they held back their laughter and walked over. They wanted to catch up with their old friends, but Jiang Shaoyu looked up at them and said calmly, "Lao Lin, Xiao Zhou, you eat After dinner, come to the office to find me."

    Two people: "...?"

    Why is there a bad feeling of hitting the muzzle?

    After the meal, the three teamed up to find Jiang Shaoyu.

    There is an office in the corner of the top floor of the training building. The entrance reads "National Team Coach's Office". It can be expected that in the future, this will become the most afraid place for the national team players to come.

    Lao Lin knocked on the door and heard a cold voice from inside: "Come in."

    The three walked into the house one after the other.

    On the first day Jiang Shaoyu took office, he resolutely tidy up the office.

    There are two computers on the spacious desktop, one is a high-end desktop computer, and the other is a thin and light notebook. There are neat rows of folders on the bookshelf on the wall behind them. Judging from the labels, they contain the information of the national team players and the information of the major clubs.

    He also kept a notebook with a black cowhide cover by his hand, apparently for casual recording.

    Whoever makes a mistake in the future will be recorded in his notebook...

    Then please be yourself.

    The three of them stood side by side with serious faces, just like they went to the office to find the dean in their school days, and said in unison, "Coach Jiang." They were about to bow.

    These three are now the main force of the first-line team. In their own team, the players will listen to them and call them brother respectfully. But in front of Jiang Shaoyu, they were still younger brothers.

    Jiang Shaoyu pointed to the sofa next to him: "Sit down, it's not a critique. Don't be so serious. I came to you to have a good chat."

    The three looked at each other, turned and sat down on the sofa.

    Jiang Shaoyu was in front of so many people yesterday, so it's not good to show favoritism, and Ye Ye did it himself. But now, chatting with old teammates privately, there is no need to put on the air of a coach.

    He stood up, poured tea for a few people, looked at Ye Qingming and asked, "Why is Ye Ye suspended? I called the league just now, and the answer from Chairman Qi was that you talked to me when you were interviewing abroad. A reporter quarreled and broke his camera. The impact was too bad. What's the reason?"

    Ye Qingming took the teacup and scratched his hair with a bitter face, as if he didn't know how to speak.

    Lao Lin took the initiative to say, "Actually, you can't just blame Ye Zi for this. That reporter's words are too ugly."

    Jiang Shaoyu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? How ugly?"

    Old Lin coughed lightly, squeezed his throat, and said in a yin-yang tone like a reporter: "Are all the people who came out of ACE this level? You can't even hit the corners of your opponent's clothes, is this what Wing taught you? Have you ever thought about retiring early and reuniting with the old captain Wing God?"

    Jiang Shaoyu: "..."

    Ye Qingming scratched his hair irritably, and stroked it smoothly, saying, "Lao Lin, me, and Xiao Zhou all played in that game. That reporter is a black fan of ACE. He couldn't stand his map gun ACE, and even dragged our old captain into the water. How many years have you retired, and they were pulled out to whip your corpse!"

    Jiang Shaoyu said coldly, "What is a whip corpse? I'm not dead yet."

    "Cough cough!" Ye Qingming almost choked on the tea, put down the cup in a hurry, and said aggrievedly: "I lost the game at that time, I was in a bad mood, and he kept shooting my face with the camera. , I smashed the camera in a fit of rage..." The more he said, the lower his voice was, obviously he had no confidence.

    Lao Lin was beside him as a peacemaker: "Brother Yu, don't be angry, Ye Zi also wants to protect you. In our hearts, your strength has always been unquestionable. The reporter sneered at ACE, and Ye Ye couldn't hold back his anger for a while. The camera has already paid for it. It was given to the opponent, suspended for half a year, and Ye Zi also accepted the punishment."

    Jiang Shaoyu said calmly: "The ACE team had a lot of black fans back then. I thought you were used to it. Ye Qingming, you are too impulsive. You lose your temper in front of the media reporters, and they will definitely speak ill of you when they look back."

    Ye Qingming shrugged: "Whatever. Anyway, in their eyes, I'm just a cynical, unruly, rubbish person who doesn't know how to behave. I don't care."

    Jiang Shaoyu was silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "Didn't the reporter say that you should retire early and reunite with the old captain?"

    The three looked up at Jiang Shaoyu.

    His face was calm, and there was no sign of anger at all.

    Ye Zizheng wondered why he didn't get scolded this time, when he heard Jiang Shaoyu add: "Then you should strive to be better and reunite with the old captain."

    The three were stunned.

    Reunion? What reunion?

    Xiao Zhou quickly reacted: "You mean... the national team?!"

    Jiang Shaoyu nodded: "That's right. The old captain has now become the coach of the national team. If you have the skills, you can continue to enter the national team in the next session - we will reunite in the national team."

    Three: "!!!"

    ACE has been disbanded long ago, but the relationship they cultivated when they were young is very deep. They are not only good brothers who fight side by side, but also exist like "family".

    Reunion on the national team?

    Can the members of ACE really be reunited again?

    Lao Lin's heart trembled slightly, he clenched his fists, and said in a hoarse voice: "But, I... I have already retired..."

    "I just got your application form today." Jiang Shaoyu turned around and took out a form from the drawer and handed it to Lao Lin: "The alliance has not approved, stamped, and completed the formalities, so you are not officially retired. "

    Lao Lin took the application form in surprise.

    Looking at the name he signed with his own hands, he didn't know what to say for a while.

    Jiang Shaoyu walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "I watched your training video, your hand speed and reflexes are indeed not as good as those of young teenage players, but your advantages are stable mentality and great experience. Rich. It’s not all about hand speed, and experienced veterans will also have a place.”

    Lao Lin looked at him excitedly: "You mean, do I still have a chance to enter the national team again?"

    Jiang Shaoyu nodded: "There is definitely an opportunity, it depends on whether you can seize it. Give yourself another year, and you are not bad this year, right?"

    Lao Lin nodded vigorously: "Okay! Then I'll play for another year! Hahaha, if I knew you were the next coach, I wouldn't submit this retirement application."

    He tore the application form in half on the spot.

    Ye Qingming and Zhou Yiran looked at each other.

    Lao Lin planned to retire before, but it was useless for them to persuade him. In the end, as soon as Brother Yu opened his mouth, he was persuaded in two sentences?

    Jiang Shaoyu looked at the three teammates with a calm voice: "I am the coach of the national team now, and you are my old teammates. I can't choose you directly into the national team for my own sake, or you will be scolded."

    "For the next national team, players in every position will be selected fairly."

    "That's why I said—"

    "You come to reunite with me by your strength."

    When the three heard this, their hearts ignited a long-lost passion and fighting spirit!

    Can the national team reunite with strength?

    ACE started from zero and won the league championship all the way back then; now the national team's performance is extremely poor, under the leadership of the new coach Jiang Shaoyu, can it create the miracle of the year again?

    must be able to!

    They always believed in the captain.

    Lao Lin's eyes were flushed with excitement. A player who has always been outspoken, he hasn't had tears in his eyes for a long time. He nodded vigorously, choked up and said, "I will definitely enter the national team again next year!"

    Ye Zi and Xiao Zhou said in unison, "Me too!"

    Ye Ye paused, then frowned suddenly and said, "But Xiao Chen...he hasn't played for a year. He also failed to qualify for this year's national team. The medical soldier recommended by their club for the national team is Zhang Yue. ."

    The first medic to be killed by a knife in a training match?

    Jiang Shaoyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Xiaochen is in the TNG club, right?"

    Ye Zi said helplessly: "Yes. TNG has a lot of money. When it bought Xiaochen, it promised him to be the main medical treatment. Later, in order to support the newcomer, he asked him to abdicate and become a virtuous person. You know Xiaochen's character and dare not follow people. He didn't dare to fight for himself, he just sat on the bench for a year."

    Xiaochen was a little scared. When he was at ACE, he would only hide behind Jiang Shaoyu in an interview. Jiang Shaoyu always regarded him as his younger brother. It seems that after he left, Xiaochen suffered a lot of grievances?

    Jiang Shaoyu's face sank, and he said coldly, "I will personally go to the TNG club to investigate this matter."

    The three of them looked overjoyed, Xiaochen would definitely be super happy when he knew that Brother Yu was back?!

    Jiang Shaoyu was silent for two seconds, and then asked, "Where is Pei Feng? I heard from Sister Yu that he is no longer a professional? What's going on?"

    When it comes to Pei Feng, the faces of the three of them are a little complicated.

    In fact, there were 6 players in the ACE team that year. In addition to the 5 main players, there was also the only youth trainee - the youngest Pei Feng, who was also Jiang Shaoyu's direct apprentice.

    Seeing that they didn't speak, Jiang Shaoyu looked at Zhou Yiran, who had the best temper, and said, "Xiao Zhou, tell me."

    Zhou Yiran touched his nose and said in a gentle voice, "Brother Yu, after you retired, didn't you hand over the captain to Pei Feng? We originally planned to let Xiao Pei take over your sniper position, and the other four remained unchanged and continued to fight. The league, it's just... the boss doesn't think so."

    "Pei Feng was the champion of the youth academy and ranked first in various statistics. He was also an apprentice brought out by you. The coaches in the circle thought that he would be your descendant and had the strength to win the championship. Therefore, all the giants at that time. The clubs are robbing him, and they are about to break his head, and there are three clubs whose asking price exceeds 10 million."

    Jiang Shaoyu raised his eyebrows: "10 million transfer fee to dig a newcomer? Are they crazy?"

    This is the transfer price of the first-tier players. It seems that these managers really believed in the saying that "Fred is a descendant of Wing", thinking that they could win the championship by digging out Pei Feng.

    Ye Zi complained: "Isn't that right? At that time, many club managers called ACE every day, scrambling to get Pei Feng to transfer, and the conditions offered were better than the other, and our boss didn't have much vision. Put Pei Feng in the transfer window and want to make a lot of money."

    Lao Lin said with emotion: "It's a pity that Xiao Pei's temper is as stubborn as a donkey, and he is too affectionate. He said that his skills were taught by his master, and he could not go to another team to play ACE in turn, nor would he be on the field. He shot a few of us. He had a bad fight with the boss and offended all the clubs in the circle."

    Tens of millions of transfer fees, if you say no, don't you?

    A career with a bright future was ruined in vain because of "loyalty" and "empathy"?

    This kid is so stupid.

    If he hadn't told Pei Feng before he retired, "After the master is gone, the ACE team will be handed over to you", he might not be so stubborn, and he would just come and break the net.

    Jiang Shaoyu gently pressed his temple: "What happened later?"

    Old Lin said: "Pei Feng insisted on not going to other clubs. Several of us also had some conflicts with the boss, so we simply hung up in the transfer window and wanted to go together."

    Ye Zi spread out his hands: "Yes. We don't want to leave an unrecognizable ACE, it's better to disperse."

    Jiang Shaoyu's heart tingled slightly when he heard this.

    He has always felt guilty about these people, which is one of the reasons why he returned to China. ACE had investors and bosses, and their players were too young at the time to have the right to speak.

    When Jiang Shaoyu left, he arranged for Pei Feng to take over as captain. Pei Feng is his descendant. He is very familiar with several ACE team members and can easily get started with cooperation. This is the best outcome.

    It's a pity that things are unpredictable, and these teenage boys can't fight for the capital behind them after all.

    The only thing they can decide-

    It is to leave ACE and let this once legendary team become history forever.

    Instead of watching ACE being rubbed on the ground by the apprentices trained by other teams, or even Jiang Shaoyu himself. The decline in grades has become a laughing stock.

    It is this kind of practice that makes ACE become the white moonlight in the hearts of many e-sports fans.

    It has become a legendary existence that no team can ever surpass.

    Jiang Shaoyu sighed in his heart and asked in a low voice, "Pei Feng is not a professional player, what is he doing now?"

    Zhou Yiran smiled and said, "Your apprentice is very promising. He is now the most popular celebrity anchor in the entire network. What is the transfer fee of 10 million yuan? His income in a quarter is more than that."

    Jiang Shaoyu was a little surprised: "Anchor?"

    Not a professional player, turned out to be a host?
