After the game, the players on and off the Yucheng team ran to Li Weizhen and hugged each other wildly. Before the game started, no one would have thought that they would be able to get to this day, especially after the opening game, even they themselves did not believe that they could reach the finals. But all of this was just today. With such a sudden scene, the Yucheng players instantly became the happiest person!

Today, the defense intensity of this opponent Wu Ming team still exceeded the expectations of Yucheng team. The long-term gain and no points made them start to doubt themselves. Fortunately, they survived and won the game. What the players wanted to be grateful for the most was the coach, which was his constant motivation and brought themselves out of danger again and again. The players quickly ran to Mo Huaqiang on the sidelines and bowed deeply to him, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

On the small stairs outside the court, there was a man about 70 years old who was thin and almost bald. When he saw the scene of a Yucheng player bowing to the coach, he "booed". This was his second surprise, and the first time was when Li Weizhen scored his second goal.

"Little Luo, what's the name of this Yucheng team coach?" the old man asked the assistant beside him.

"Go back to the Lin Cult, his name is Mo Huaqiang." Assistant Luo Xiao replied.

"Well, let me go back and give me a detailed copy of his information."

"Okay, understand. Lin Jiao, it seems that you are interested in him. Bai Huijun's introduction is correct."

"Well, it can be seen that his coaching experience is not rich enough, but this guy is quite good, and the players seem to be very impressed by him. When playing national competitions, he should be an assistant coach, and the effect should be good."

The old man is Lin Rui, 69 years old this year. He is a famous figure in Liaoning football. In the 1970s and 1980s, he coached the Liaoning team before the professional reform, and made great contributions to the Liaoning team dominating the whole country. Due to physical reasons, he put down his coaching stick and turned to some youth training work, and once trained the famous international player Wang Peng.

After the league professional reform in 1994, he has rarely been seen in the media. Some say that he died of a heart attack, some say that he went to the United States to spend his old age, and some say that he went to southern cities to spend his old age. There were many different opinions for a while, but no one knew his exact whereabouts, and a generation of celebrities disappeared from the mainstream sight.

Unexpectedly, five years later, his figure appeared in Guangxi, and it still appeared frequently in a junior high school competition. According to reliable sources, the organizing committee of the "Qihang Cup" distinction competition has agreed to a work contract with Lin Rui, and successfully invited him to come out and serve as the head coach of the Guangxi team, leading the team to the national competition held in Beijing next month.

"Of course he is good at doing the jobs of these junior high school students, because he is a junior high school teacher." Xiao Luo said with a smile.

Lin Rui nodded and praised, "Oh, so that's it. No wonder, Bai Huijun's eyes are so vicious that he found a treasure."

"Chairman Lin, he is most likely to be the head coach of Yuchai's youth team and your assistant in the future. Bai Huijun also made it clear that he wanted you to bring him more."

After the "Oh", Lin Rui fell into thinking. The reason why he withdrew from professional football was not because of the physical reasons as the official said on the surface. The deeper reason was that he could not stand his beloved football, and with the smell of money on his body, he became increasingly deviated from the most original intention of the sport.

In order to say goodbye to the past environment, he also followed his wife to settle in Beihai, a famous tourist city in Guangxi. In recent years, he rarely reads football news. He walks birds, raises fish, grows flowers, plants and trees, and plays goal balls. The leisure time in recent years is also very pleasant.

All of this was interrupted by an uninvited guest that afternoon. The visiting middle-aged man introduced himself to Bai Huijun, who was the general manager of the newly established Yuchai Club. He finally found him. Bai Huijun did not beat around the bush and explained his purpose directly. First, he invited Lin Rui to be the head coach of the Guangxi team, and second, after the national competition, he served as the head coach of the Yuchai team.

The two seemingly unrelated things are highly connected. Leading the team to play national competitions is to adapt to understanding the current style characteristics of Guangxi youth players, and the other is to discover talents that can be created; Yuchai team is based on youth training and wants to create a local-style youth guards. The players participating in this "Qihang Cup" national competition are also at the age of 14 or 15, and the combination of the two will inevitably produce magical sparks.

Rather than saying that Bai Huijun mentioned that the grand goal attracted Lin Rui, it is better to say that his love for football in his heart, and his contempt and confrontation for the increasingly popular Jinyuan football in the league, which ultimately led to his return. On this beautiful and magical land of Guangxi, the dream fire in the heart of this stubborn old man in Northeast China is still burning, and he decided to leave his own footprints in this western football desert.

He did it as he said, without saying anything. After he decided to accept this job, the rigorous, serious and neat style of the first generation of footballers in New China was also reflected in Lin Rui. As early as last month's preliminaries, Lin Rui inspected the situation in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin and Beihai in detail, and confiscated the inspection list of more than 100 people. After the start of the distinction competition, he would watch every team's game carefully and further examine the players.

He was very happy to see that the overall quality of the game was high, which mainly came from the high quality of the players. As an old football coach with long-term coaching experience, seeing this scene was like seeing jewelry everywhere, and the inner surprise was no less than that of an explorer who harvested treasures. This also strengthened his confidence in leading this team well. Although Guangxi is poor, it is not short of excellent seedlings.

Among the teams that have attracted attention, Yucheng team had successfully attracted Lin Rui's attention as early as when they qualified in the group. This team is united as iron, with a strong fighting will. The creativity that pops up from time to time reflects a good level of football quotient, and the performance of star players is also very outstanding. Especially after they were lucky enough to enter the knockout round, they played very resolutely, showing a completely different mental outlook and combat effectiveness from the group stage. Now they have successfully reached the finals and are very excited.
