The phone rang, Zhang Guan picked it up and saw it was a call from He Yiming.
"Did I disturb your rest?" He Yiming asked directly.
"No. And there is no game today." Zhang Guan then asked: "Is something wrong?"
"It's really something. I just received a notice from the Athletics Management Center asking you to participate in the IAAF Golden League." He Yiming said.
"Golden League? It's the Golden League again. If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it. Why do you think of me when there is a game? By the way, I'm still in the suspension period now!" Zhang Guan smiled. said.
"Canceling the suspension is just a matter of words from the Tianjin Management Center. If you really participate in the Golden League, the suspension will naturally be cancelled." He Yiming said.
"When is the game time?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Let me take a look." The voice of He Yiming flipping through the paper came from the receiver, and then he was heard to say; "Oslo Station on June 15th, Paris Station on July 6th, Rome Station on July 13th, September Zurich on September 7th, Brussels on September 14th, Berlin on September 16th, and the IAAF finals on September 22nd.”
Zhang Guan also looked at the tennis schedule and said: "The French Open ends on June 10th, which does not delay the Oslo tournament, but the Wimbledon tournament is from June 25th to July 8th. It conflicts with the Paris station. In addition, the US Open is from August 27 to September 9, and it also conflicts with the Zurich station. This is a bit troublesome."
"In this IAAF Golden League, the Athletics Management Center has asked you to win the championship. It talks about 'making up for one's mistakes' and 'making meritorious deeds'. It seems that Director Qu's head has not sobered up yet!" He Yiming Then he said: "Actually, I don't recommend you to participate in this year's Golden League. Director, I suspended you cleanly in the first half of the year. Now that there is a competition, I want you to participate. The ultimate goal is not for his own benefit." Political achievements! A million-dollar grand prize from the IAAF Golden League can give Director Qu a lot of points."
"Having said that, I really don't want to participate in the Golden League. I won't be willing to give him a political performance increase. I can't give that guy a free advantage in vain." Zhang Guan thought for a while and then asked: "Then if I refuse to participate in the Golden League, Will there be any trouble?"
"There will definitely be trouble." He Yiming said decisively: "If I were Director Qu, I would definitely make a big fuss about this matter. By then it would not be a matter of disobeying management, but a matter of refusing to compete for the country. Then It’s much more serious.”
"Since there is trouble, why don't you ask me not to participate in the Golden League!" Zhang Guan said pretending to be angry.
"There is no need for you to worry if there is any trouble. I will have to handle it in the end!" He Yiming continued: "In a moment, I will go to the tennis center to find Director Liu. As you just said, the IAAF Golden League There is a conflict with the match time of Wimbledon and the US Open, so it is most appropriate for the Tennis Center to come forward! The Tennis Center took our share of the Australian Open a few days ago, so now we should let them do something!"
…
A few hours later, He Yiming appeared in Director Liu's office and placed the notice from the Athletics Management Center requiring Zhang Guan to participate in the IAAF Golden League on the table.
Director Liu looked gloomy after reading this notice.
The domestic men's tennis project has never achieved any results. The Tennis Center finally picked up a crown and won an Australian Open championship. How could he let him run away.
"Well... Mr. He, you see, although Zhang Guan is a member of our national tennis team, our tennis center never interferes with Zhang Guan's competition schedule. It can be said that we have given Zhang Guan enough freedom. Now Zhang Guan has achieved world-renowned achievements in tennis. I think he should continue to work hard and continue to play tennis well. As for this golden league of track and field..." Director Liu showed a reluctant expression. It was obvious that Director Liu's intentions were Half of the sentence was that he hoped that Zhang Guan would not participate in the Golden League and play tennis with peace of mind, but due to human feelings, Director Liu did not say it clearly.
He Yiming smiled slightly and said calmly: "Zhang Guan also has plans for participating in tennis matches. At least Zhang Guan will not miss the four Grand Slam matches, but the schedule of the Golden League There will be conflicts with the upcoming Wimbledon and the US Open in a few months, so Zhang Guan also plans to strategically give up this year's Golden League and concentrate on participating in tennis competitions."
Director Liu let out a long breath, and there was joy in his eyes. For Director Liu, as long as Zhang Guan is willing to play tennis with peace of mind, everything will be fine.
He Yiming, who was on the opposite side, continued: "We are just worried that there will be resistance from the Field Management Center. If Director Qu puts another big label on Zhang Guan for refusing to compete for the country, then he will be passive."
Director Liu nodded in agreement and asked, "What does Mr. He need from our tennis center?"
"I hope the Tennis Center can report this matter to the General Administration of Sports. It is best to get approval from the General Administration of Sports so that Zhang Guan can temporarily focus on tennis." He Yiming said.
"No problem. This matter will be taken care of by me." Director Liu agreed immediately.
…
June 5th is the tenth match day of the French Open.
There are only two men's singles matches at the French Open today, Federer vs. Robredo, and Zhang Guan vs. Canas. The winners of the two matches will meet in the semifinals and compete for tickets to the finals.
The match between Federer and Robredo is considered to be a quarter-final without any suspense. Although Robredo is the No. 9 seed in the tournament, he is a player who has always been invincible against Federer. The Australian Open not long ago , Robredo also met Federer in the quarter-finals, and was swept out by Federer.
It was expected that Robredo would not be able to defeat Federer. However, another men's singles quarter-final match between Zhang Guan and Canas was regarded as a focus battle. Because both of them are 'cow killers' who have emerged this year.
Canas was still ranked 55th at the beginning of the year, but his outstanding performance after the Australian Open allowed his world ranking to soar to 19th, especially his two victories over Federer in one week, which brought him even more success. Come on with the title "Cow Killer".
Canas is indeed in good form recently. After defeating Federer twice in a row, he has also made changes in his mentality. During the game, whenever he thinks about defeating Federer, he will be instantly full of strength and become more courageous as he fights.
However, Kanas's path to promotion is not very valuable. So far, he has not met a seeded player. After the second round, Kanas has encountered some "dark horse players", so there is no Few people think that the top eight in Kanas are somewhat watery.
Although Zhang Guan had not met a seeded player in the first three rounds, he defeated Davydenko 3-0, which is obviously more valuable than Canas.
This game was arranged to be held at the Susan Langren Stadium, and it was also the finale of the day. In the previous women's singles match, Sharapova easily defeated Chakvetadze 2-0 and advanced to the semifinals.
"Dear viewers, the next game is a contest between two 'cow killers'. Zhang Guan, the 15th seed in the tournament, will face Canas, the 19th seed in the tournament. The winner between them will advance to the semi-finals. , and the opponent in the semifinals is likely to be Federer.”
"In the women's singles match just now, Sharapova easily defeated her opponent. Will this bring some good luck to her boyfriend Zhang Guanye?" The commentator was talking, but found two players on the field. They were all ready, and he immediately changed his voice and said, "Okay, the athletes are ready, the competition is about to begin, let's enjoy this wonderful 'Cow Killer' battle together!"
