Lin Feng stood by the window, watching Gao Hongbo's figure gradually disappear as he left the hotel. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, reflecting a hint of complex emotions. The room was quiet, with only the sound of the wind outside the window and the sigh from his heart intertwined.
He recalled the efforts he had made for Chinese Football; every training session and every match carried his love and dreams for Chinese Football. Being selected for the National Team was not just an honor for him, but also an affirmation of his efforts. However, at this moment, he was facing the dilemma of being unable to participate in the National Team's training camp.
In Lin Feng's room, his agent, Snyder, stood by, his eyes filled with concern and comfort for Lin Feng. He understood that not being able to serve the National Team as scheduled was a heavy blow for Lin Feng, but he also knew that Lin Feng's actions in exposing the match-fixing incident undoubtedly injected a breath of fresh air into the Chinese Football world.
"Lin Feng, I know you're very disappointed right now, but you have to believe that everything you've done is worth it," Snyder said softly, his tone full of determination and trust. "You exposed the match-fixing incident, allowing more people to see the problems existing in Chinese Football. This in itself is a contribution. Your courage and sense of justice have made many people look at you in a new light."
Snyder walked over to Lin Feng, patted his shoulder, and continued, "Now, you can choose to return to Spain and continue your professional career. But if you're willing to stay in China, I'll always be by your side, supporting you and helping you. No matter which path you choose, I will fully support you."
Lin Feng stood by the window, gazing deeply into the distance. He knew that the China National Team was about to compete in the World Cup qualifiers, which was an important opportunity for Chinese Football to return to the World Cup stage.
However, he had to choose to temporarily leave and return to Spain to continue training and improve his football skills. He was filled with helplessness and regret about this decision, but he also understood that this was to better contribute to Chinese Football.
Snyder, his agent, watched Lin Feng in thought and couldn't help but marvel at the young player's maturity and responsibility. He understood Lin Feng's love and dedication to Chinese Football and also comprehended his current disappointment and unwillingness.
But he knew even more that Lin Feng was a player with great ambitions and firm beliefs. He believed that Lin Feng would one day return to the National Team and fight for the glory of Chinese Football.
"Lin Feng, I understand your decision," Snyder said softly. "Returning to Spain to continue training is a wise choice. You need to improve your football skills and make greater contributions to the future development of Chinese Football. I will fully support you and help you achieve your dreams."
Just then, Lin Feng's mother walked into the room. She saw her son and his agent discussing the future of Chinese Football and felt immense relief and pride. She knew that her son was a young man with great ambitions and firm beliefs, and he would definitely make significant contributions to the future development of Chinese Football.
"Mom, you're back!" Lin Feng saw his mother and immediately walked over to hug her. He knew that his mother had always been his strongest backing and supporter.
"Yes, I haven't been back to the country for a long time. This time I want to stay in the country for a while," his mother said with a smile. "Seeing you put so much effort into Chinese Football, I feel very proud."
Lin Feng held his mother's hand tightly, his eyes shining with gratitude and determination. He knew that his mother's support and understanding were important motivations for his success. He would definitely work harder to contribute his strength to the Chinese Football cause, making his mother even more proud.
After deciding to return to Spain for training, Lin Feng immediately released the news on social media. His message was concise and direct: "I regret to announce that due to some reasons, I will withdraw from this National Team training camp. I look forward to meeting Chinese fans next time; I will return as a better version of myself." This message quickly caused a stir online.
Countless fans and netizens left comments, expressing their support for Lin Feng and their dissatisfaction with the Chinese Football Association. They questioned why such a promising and righteous player would be withdrawn from the National Team training camp. Was it merely to quell public opinion? Was such a decision truly beneficial for the long-term development of Chinese Football?
At Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Lin Feng and his agent, Snyder, stood in the bustling departure hall, preparing to board their flight to Spain. The airport broadcasts continuously announced flight information, and the surrounding crowd's conversations and footsteps formed a busy yet orderly scene.
Just as they were about to head to the boarding gate, a group of fans suddenly surrounded them. Their faces were filled with disappointment and regret, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction and regret over Lin Feng's withdrawal from the National Team training camp.
"Lin Feng, why are you withdrawing from this National Team training camp? We were really looking forward to seeing you play for the National Team!" a fan said excitedly, his voice filled with disappointment and confusion.
Lin Feng looked at the fans in front of him, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that these fans genuinely liked and supported him, and their disappointment and regret also made him feel very guilty. He took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and began to explain his decision.
"I know everyone is disappointed, but this is a decision that the National Team and I made after careful consideration," Lin Feng said sincerely. "I will continue to train hard in Spain, improve my skills, and strive to return to the National Team as soon as possible to fight for the glory of Chinese Football!"
"Lin Feng, we believe in you! No matter where you go, we will always support you!" a fan shouted loudly, his words representing the voice of all the fans.
As the boarding announcement sounded, Lin Feng and Snyder began to walk towards the boarding gate. Their steps were firm and powerful, as if carrying the expectations and blessings of countless fans. The surrounding crowd gradually thinned, but those deep gazes and reluctant expressions were like an imprint, deeply etched into their hearts.
Lin Feng looked back and saw a group of Chinese fans still standing in place, watching them disappear into the distance. Their eyes were filled with reluctance and anticipation, as if saying, "Lin Feng, we'll wait for you to come back!" A warm current surged in Lin Feng's heart; he knew these fans were his strongest backing and supporters.
He stopped, waved to the fans, and said with a smile, "Thank you all for your continuous support and encouragement! I will work hard to improve myself and strive to return to the National Team as soon as possible to fight for the glory of Chinese Football! Please rest assured, I will be back!"
