His villa in Hong Kong has always been cleaned by someone, and he hired two Filipino maids to live here all year round to look after the villa, so he can live there with peace of mind when he returns.
It's really funny to say that he spent money to buy a house for his servants to live in, but he couldn't live there for more than a few days throughout the year, so the servants really made money.
Zhang Kuang's words that night have already caused a storm in public opinion. There is an endless stream of people criticizing him. Of course, there are also sporadic supporters, but society as a whole does not support his 'enjoyment'.
"Kuang Jai is really crazy, what's wrong with 'enjoyment and enjoyment'? It's really like being young and not knowing what it's like to cry when you are old, and you don't know the lessons of those top superstars who had to retire at a young age due to drinking and sex."
"That is, you are young now, have a body, and have capital, so you can enjoy yourself as much as you want, don't you think about the future?"
"Ah, I am so disappointed with Zhang Kuang. He is not self-disciplined. This will destroy him."
"I originally liked him very much, but I found out that I only like Zhang Kuang on the court, and I really don't like him in life."
"Are you jealous because you don't like it or you can't enjoy it as well as Zhang Kuang?"
"Fart, I... am indeed a little envious, but I am also doing it for his own good. Young people must know how to exercise restraint and not enjoy this kind of thing excessively."
"Is it possible that because people are physically strong, doing this kind of thing is just like running on the playground, and if they sweat, it will be fine?"
"How is it possible? This is unrealistic. There is no such man in this world. There are no damaged fields. There are only exhausted cows. No matter how strong the cow is, it will die of exhaustion."
"Then you can explain that he has been on the island for more than ten days and has been like this every day. He is still alive and kicking. He doesn't have any dark circles under his eyes. Instead, he is full of energy and seems to be overflowing with energy?"
"This, this, this is just an illusion..."
"How do you know it's an illusion? Have you tested his body?"
"No, it's impossible. There is no such man in this world. If there is, then..."
"How about that?"
"..."
Some media or media people who have been slandering Zhang Kuang all year round published an article early in the morning, scolding Zhang Kuang for paying for his "lack of self-discipline", saying that his arrogance would last for a year or two at most, and then he would go downhill, and that he was seeking death and ruining himself.
In particular, a football reporter surnamed Ma was jumping up and down on Weibo in the Mainland. He was so excited. In short, he thought that 'Zhang Kuang is going to be over soon, and this kind of case is just a flash in the pan.'
--
On the morning of June 11, Zhang Kuang drove to the training base of Hong Kong Team.
Before the car stopped, dozens of reporters rushed up, blocking the door with only a crack. Zhang Kuang got out of the car. Today, he was wearing a simple white T-shirt and dark sweatpants. He didn't look like a superstar UEFA Champions League, but more like a college student.
"Zhang Kuang, you said what's wrong with you 'enjoying enjoyment'? Aren't you afraid of emptying your body?"
"Zhang Kuang! What do you think of World Cup qualifiers next to Hong Kong Team? Do you have the confidence to score World Cup?"
"Zhang Kuang, why did you only bring back four of the twenty women?"
"Zhang Kuang..."
Countless questions came flooding in like a tide.
Zhang Kuang stood in front of the reporters, with his hands in his pockets and a relaxed expression.
"Okay, okay, come one by one, don't worry, I will answer any questions you have."
Next, the reporter asked him if he was afraid of emptying his body by being so indulgent.
Zhang Kuang: "I know what everyone is worried about, but don't worry, I care about my career longevity more than anyone else, and I won't let my career die prematurely because of emptying my body.
As for you asking why I can be so indulgent without worrying about my body being hollowed out, that's because this is my talent. My yang energy is too strong, so I usually need to balance it, otherwise I will explode.
Yes, that's right, for this reason, it's up to you to believe it or not. Anyway, I can do whatever I want in my private life, as long as I can satisfy everyone on the field, right?"
Next, the reporter asked him what he thought of this season and the UEFA Champions League finals.
Zhang Kuang: "The season was perfect. I set many records, which many professional players cannot break in their lifetime.
The UEFA Champions League final is the most difficult game I have ever played in my career, but it is also the most enjoyable. Next is the time for Hong Kong Team. Our goal is to reach the top 20, then rush into the top 12, and finally go to Brazil to play World Cup."
The reporters were in an uproar. "Hong Kong Team has never entered World Cup before. Do you think this goal is realistic?"
Zhang Kuang took off his sunglasses and looked at the reporter who asked the question, "Zhang Kuang didn't exist before, but now it does. Do you think it's unrealistic?"
This sentence made the scene quiet for a second, and then the reporters went even crazier!
"Ferguson said that you came up with the tactics for playing Barcelona. What do you think of coach Troussier's tactics?"
Zhang Kuang: "Don't spread it randomly, I just made a suggestion. The specific tactics were formulated and refined by the Ferguson Jazz team, so don't deify my understanding of tactics.
As for asking about Troussier's tactics, there's no need to talk about that, right? Now Hong Kong Team has been winning and making progress, right? Does this still need to be evaluated?"
Reporter: "What do you think of your first-round opponent Macau Team?"
Zhang Kuang: "How do you think about this? If you are facing a formidable opponent in the first and second stages of qualifying, how can you still play? There are still top 20 matches and top 10 matches later, so is there no hope?
In my opinion, the first and second stages of the competition are just a formality, and what we should take seriously is the top 20 and top 10 games."
Reporter: "What if we meet China National Team in the top 20?"
Zhang Kuang: "What else can we do? If we encounter each other on the field, we will show the real results. Whoever has the strength will advance."
Reporter: "..."
Next, Zhang Kuang answered a dozen questions. No matter what excessive questions the reporter asked, he answered them all. The reporter still admired him very much, and Zhang Kuang did not break his guard.
After the interview, I entered the training base with the help of security guards.
In the locker room, Troussier is already waiting there.
France The old man crossed his arms, and when he saw Zhang Kuang coming in, he smiled and shook his head.
"You kid, you fucked Barcelona through in the UEFA Champions League finals, and then went to Maldives for vacation, and then you said in front of the media reporters, 'What's wrong with enjoying?' Do you know how many reporters are asking me how to punish you? You tell me, what should I do?"
Zhang Kuang chuckled, "How about a two-match ban?"
Troussier laughed, "You want to be lazy? No way, go for a physical examination first. I want to see how strong you are that your body is not afraid of being hollowed out."
Zhang Kuang:"Understood."
Teammates quickly gathered around.
Cris Kang slapped him on the shoulder from behind. "UEFA Champions League MVP is back! I will train you to treat guests to drink water today!"
Zhang Kuang: "Drink some water, it's a small problem."
Zheng Shaowei: "I'm not interested in drinking water. My biggest interest is how you stayed so energetic after ten days on the island with more than 20 people. Do you have any tips?"
Zhang Kuang: "Wai Jai, at such a young age, don't always worry about the two ounces of meat. Talent, talent, you know? This kind of thing can be taught?"
"Haha..."
Everyone laughs
Li Weilian put his arm around his shoulders. "You won the championship and received so many bonuses. Did you bring any gifts back?"
Zhang Kuang took out a row of sunscreen bought by Maldives from his backpack. "One for each person, don't get tanned."
"Fuck, are you serious?"
"Really, how can I get a tan?"
"If you're afraid of getting tanned by playing football, then don't play football!"
"I didn't say I was afraid of you getting tanned, I was just afraid that your dick might get tanned!"
"Haha..."
With everyone laughing, they began to join the team for physical examination.
Zhang Kuang returned to Hong Kong Team and answered questions from reporters. Some of the buzz was in the public opinion for a few days, and then disappeared. Public opinion is like this. Whoever has sustained popularity will dominate the list. Without follow-up, there will be no popularity.
During the break between joint training, Zhang Kuang took two days to go to Shenzhen to attend Xionghua Football School's first student-parent meeting.
On June 15th, Shenzhen's new campus, Xionghua Football School, had just been built, but it still smelled like cement and lime.
In order to open the school as soon as possible, this school was constructed without using any paint, plywood, composite board, plastic, fabric soft furnishings, foam and other raw materials that emit formaldehyde.
Of course, it is unavoidable to use paint for some things, but you can purchase some finished products that have been made long ago and have been ventilated for more than half a year.
Zhang Kuang In addition to inspecting the new teaching buildings, office areas, dormitories, canteens, gyms, locker rooms and other places, he also went to each field to step on it and play a football.
Then I shook hands with the teachers and staff of the school one by one and took photos.
Finally, I went to meet the parents.
The school auditorium was filled with about one hundred and twenty parents, some from Heilongjiang, Sichuan, Yunnan, Liaoning, Shandong, East China, Hunan, Xijiang and other places came here to see the legendary 'Zhang Kuang' with their own eyes.
When Zhang Kuang walked onto the stage wearing a white Polo shirt with the school logo of 'Xionghua' printed on it, the audience stood up and applauded and screamed for nearly three minutes.
Zhang Kuang pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Hello, brothers and sisters, you have worked so hard to come here. First of all, congratulations, your child has been selected by Xionghua. What does this mean? It means you have made a right decision. Why do you say that? Am I bragging?"
He held the podium with both hands and glanced at the excited, anxious, or expectant faces in the audience. "I'm not bragging, because Xionghua Football School is different from other football schools. What is the difference?"
I know that some parents are most worried about two issues: First, it costs so much money to learn to play football, how can we have so much money? Second, some people worry about 'sending their children to learn to play football, what if they can't play? What if their studies are delayed?'
This is not only a worry for you, but also a worry for me since I was a child, and even for children who have been learning to play football.
It is precisely because I know these problems that I established this school to address parents' concerns.
I believe the staff have told everyone, right? Our school has two points: first, it is free, and parents no longer have to worry about spending a lot of money to train their children to play football.
Second, our school not only teaches football, but also has very strict management of cultural courses. After graduating from junior high school, if someone is really not suitable for football, there is still another way for children to take the high school entrance examination.
Of course, in addition to learning to play football, children will also learn a very important skill at school, which is five foreign languages. English, French, Spanish, German and Italian will be taught to the children. I believe that this foreign language alone will help the children to enter the society and have a skill to use in the future.
Of course, I believe you also know that if your child is talented enough to play football, he may eventually be selected for the school team, and then he may represent the school in competitions, and we will also pay him wages and bonuses.
In other words, if you come to Xionghua to learn football, you not only don't have to spend money, but you can also make money. I think this has solved the worries of many parents.
However, don't be too happy too soon. We offer such good conditions at a certain price.
The biggest price of this is: it is possible that the children will not be able to play football abroad in the future, which may be useless, because everyone knows my relationship with the Football Association in the mainland, and there is a high chance that the children will not be recruited into the professional football teams in the mainland.
This is the first price, and the second price is that if you are selected, you may have to serve Hong Kong Team. Our purpose of cultivating good seedlings is to enhance the global competitiveness of China men's football team.
There is a high chance that the children they train can bring glory to the country only through Hong Kong Team, so everyone must be mentally prepared. It is possible that your children will be naturalized as Hong Kong in the future.
The third cost is that if your child ends up in a professional league, there is a high chance that he will go to Europe to play football, which may be far away from home.
So, there are advantages, but there are also disadvantages. Today is the day for everyone to come for an on-site inspection. We have to get straight to the point and tell everyone the truth with an open mind, so that everyone can think carefully about whether to enroll in Xionghua Football School."
After a pause, his voice rose a little. "Someone asked you, Zhang Kuang, what is the purpose of opening such a school and doing such a non-profitable thing?"
Do you have to control the football agency business of students in the future? And then rely on students to help you make money? Let me tell you clearly here that I do not have a football agency, let alone sign students to help me make money.
The school will not force students to sign with the school, nor will it set any obstacles for students to transfer.
I have only one purpose in running the school: to prove to the world that the male football players of China are no worse than those of any other country in the world."
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and some people were cheering loudly.
Zhang Kuang: "I am a hard-working person. I don't like to draw cakes for others because I come from the bottom and have eaten too many cakes drawn by others since I was a child, so I don't like to draw cakes for others either.
I just want to say one thing: If your children can enter Xionghua, it means that your children have the initial possibility of becoming professional players. Xionghua spends huge sums of money to train them, then they must show their abilities.
If their talents are not realized, then we should respond to the country's call and train a group of children for free for the country's basic compulsory education. This is also a good deed.
The whole thing is so simple, there is nothing messy. Okay, parents, if you still have any questions that the staff have not answered clearly, you can ask me on the spot now.
Of course, don't ask about specific admissions, training, study and life procedures, etc. I may not be as familiar with these as the teachers at the school."
"Haha..." the parents laughed and then clapped!
Next, the parents picked a few questions they were concerned about and asked Zhang Kuang.
The main concern is that if a child has talent for playing football, but due to the relationship between the school and the mainland Football Association, what should he do if he has talent but cannot enter either a mainland team or a foreign professional team?
There is also the so-called "free". Will we reduce expenses on food, accommodation, and cultural courses because it is free?
Of course, there are other problems.
Zhang Kuang answered these questions one by one and said that some of the issues they mentioned can be included in the enrollment contract to make parents feel more at ease.
This approach has been warmly praised by parents.
Next, after the Q&A, we took photos, signed autographs, etc. with the parents.
At noon that day, he had lunch with his parents.
The cafeteria chef cooked a sumptuous lunch, and the parents chatted more openly with Zhang Kuang at the dining table. Some minor questions that everyone was concerned about were also asked, and Zhang Kuang answered them all easily.
That afternoon, parents of more than a hundred students signed enrollment contracts with the school.
However, school will not start yet, and many students will have to wait until July to take summer vacation from their original schools.
Therefore, July 5th is the opening ceremony.
--
After the parent meeting at the Shenzhen branch, Zhang Kuang went to the Hong Kong branch the next day to meet with the parents who had inspected the school. The situation at the Hong Kong branch was a little different. Although there were more than a hundred parents, the parents here came from different countries, but they were all Chinese.
Some Chinese children including Malaya, Singapore, Macau, Indonesia, and Philippines applied for admission. After screening, 47 students were selected from these areas.
This is really a bit like gathering the best Chinese to form a real China men's football team, which was highly praised by the media and officials.
On June 16, the complete video of Zhang Kuang's speech at Shenzhen branch and communication with parents was leaked online.
This attracted a lot of discussion and onlookers on the Internet, and also received a lot of praise.
Of course, it also attracted many people's accusations, abuse, and hysteria, because isn't Zhang Kuang's behavior a slap in the face?
In particular, some people, schools, and parents of those students asked: 'Zhang Kuang can do this, why can't you?'
An insider even said, "Zhang Kuang's behavior of destroying the jobs of his colleagues must be severely punished. What is he trying to do? Does he think he can do whatever he wants because he is good at playing football? Isn't there anyone in charge?"
This word quickly spread among colleagues and even spread to the Internet.
