Chapter 1578 The Club's Sincerity
Lin Cheng woke up at around nine in the morning because he had rested on the plane.
The others were still sleeping, and the first thing Lin Cheng did when he got up was to go outside the base to feed the cats.
He stood next to the cats' shelter with cat food in his hand, and soon a group of familiar figures gathered around him.
"Brothers, it's time to eat!"
Lin Cheng greeted the cats in a familiar manner, took out the food bowls with photos of cats printed on them, placed them on the ground, and then poured cat food into each one.
The cats did not fight for it, but squatted next to their own small food bowls, and immediately buried their heads in eating after Lin Cheng poured cat food into their bowls.
Squatting down and watching these guys all buried their heads in gobbling, Lin Cheng felt inexplicably healed.
Or cats are simple-minded, they feel very happy when they have food.
On the contrary, there are all kinds of troubles and troubles in life.
As Cao Gonggong said, the only trouble for people when they are hungry is not having enough food, but once they are full, they will have more desires and troubles.
In summary, most people live such a tiring life because they are too full.
This is not entirely true, but there is some truth to it.
The tabby cat that was very attached to Lin Cheng found that its food bowl was too far away from Lin Cheng, so it buried its head in the food bowl and plowed over like a bulldozer, then looked up and meowed at Lin Cheng, as if seeking praise.
Lin Cheng reached out and touched its head, and the tabby cat didn't care about eating and rubbed Lin Cheng's hand hard.
At this time, a black Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped beside it.
It was very close, only two or three meters away from Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng frowned. The cat shelter was just at the corner of the alley outside the club. The alley was very small, and the car stopped and almost blocked the entrance of the alley.
Lin Cheng looked up and was about to say that parking was not allowed here, but he saw the person in the car window clearly.
"Hey! Representative An is still here to work today? Usually you either play flower cards or watch movies, why are you so diligent now during the off-season?"
An Haosheng was a little speechless.
I am the manager of the club after all. In your eyes, I am just a slacker who slacks off at work, right?
"I came here specifically to see you."
An Haosheng said as he opened the car door and got out.
Lin Cheng probably guessed what he meant and continued to squat on the ground watching the cats eat.
"Why is Mr. An still driving a Mercedes? Our sponsor has a Porsche. It's not too much for you to ask them for a car, right?"
"Porsche won't give me the car. If it wants to drive, it's for you."
An Haosheng joked and squatted down beside him.
One in pajamas and the other in a suit, squatting together to watch the cats eat, this picture is a bit strange.
Lin Cheng lowered his head, "Actually, I know what Representative An wants to say to me, but you know... I really want to participate in the Asian Games. This may be my only chance to represent the national team."
An Haosheng nodded, "I understand your concerns, but I think these are all solvable problems."
"What you are worried about is that the epidemic will hinder the schedule during the Asian Games, but what if these are not problems?"
An Haosheng stared at Lin Cheng closely, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty.
"How to solve it?"
Lin Cheng became interested, but An Haosheng kept it a secret.
"You like watching football, right? Football club competitions and national team competitions actually conflict in some aspects."
"You mean..."
As an old football fan, Lin Cheng immediately understood what An Haosheng meant.
Take the World Cup as an example.
Many big-name stars will start to slack off in the club when the World Cup is approaching, working but not working hard on the field, to ensure that they will not get injured in preparation for the World Cup.
In addition, there is a more special situation.
Some superstars will have a special clause in their contracts with clubs in the World Cup year, namely: before the World Cup starts, the club allows players to leave the team early.
This is obviously what An Shenghao meant.
Seeing that Lin Cheng understood, An Haosheng nodded, "It's still early for the Asian Games, and we don't know the schedule, let alone the training arrangements of the Chinese team, but if there is a real need at that time, the club can cancel all club activities and let you leave early."
He paused, his expression was very serious, "Even during the game."
Lin Cheng was moved.
You know, League of Legends is not a football game.
Football clubs play in the league, and it is not too important even if the star players miss a few games. Although LCK is a league, the playoffs are actually a cup game.
According to various sources, the Asian Games schedule is likely to be after the end of the LCK Summer Games.
The Asian Games is sandwiched between the Summer Games and the World Games, and the time will definitely be very crowded.
If the current epidemic prevention policy is still in place in China, if Lin Cheng does not want to make exceptions, he will need to return to China for quarantine at least half a month before the start of the national team training.
This means that if the club really lets him go, Lin Cheng will most likely miss the LCK Summer Playoffs.
Including the finals.
Lin Cheng never thought that the club could do this.
Putting aside the World Championship, the most important games of a season are the LCK playoffs. Who will KT let him play if they let him go?
Is Mr. Kang Dongxun warming up?
Or will the second team bring someone up?
After all, football is a sport for 11 people, and temporarily replacing one or two players may not have a big impact, but there are only 5 people in League of Legends. Once the core of the team is replaced, it is possible to go from a champion team to a bottom team.
It can be said that An Haosheng's proposal is really sincere.
But Lin Cheng is a little entangled.
He can do this, but it hurts the fans.
After all, you are paid by the club. What will the fans think if you are absent at the most critical moment?
Even football superstars like Messi and Ronaldo will be scolded by the club fans if they leave the team early for the World Cup.
In more serious cases, fans can question their professionalism.
Looking at Lin Cheng's constantly changing expression, An Haosheng did not speak, turned his head and watched the cat eat silently.
After a while, Lin Cheng sighed.
"Isn't this too cruel to the fans? If it's because of me..."
"You don't have to think too much. They are more willing to let you stay in this way than to lose you."
An Haosheng smiled, "You don't know, there have been rumors about your transfer flying around recently, and fans send threats every day, saying that if you don't keep you, they will rush to the club to kill me."
After a pause, An Haosheng pointed to the open button of his cuffs.
"Look! I went out without even getting dressed to see you."
Lin Cheng was also happy.
I just came back in the middle of the night, and now An Haosheng came to see me. It can be seen that he was in a hurry.
But this time, Lin Cheng still did not give a positive response.
"I know you are in a hurry! But don't be in a hurry."
"I'm going to enjoy my vacation now. I don't want to consider the renewal for the time being. Please talk to my agent for the specific situation."
