Chapter 48 Harry Hodgic personally invited

"Gao Sang! Gao Yuyang scored the first hat-trick of his career."

"For this young man, it seems that there is no difficulty in leveling the defense line of the J-League!"

"There are four rounds in the league, and this is Gao Sang's sixth goal! And this is only the third league game of his career! We are witnessing the birth of a phenomenal shooter!"

Amidst the praise, Gao Yuyang scored six goals in the league, and he has already occupied the first place in the league's scorer list.

This is an unexpected situation for all the Japanese media. Gao Yuyang is like the strongest actor who ran into the wrong theater. With his performance against the sky, he abruptly sent himself from obscurity to the C position under the spotlight—the season began. Who would have thought that the top scorer list belonged to such an unknown person?Not even temporarily.

Behind Gao Yuyang, there is a group of black and hard South American and African foreign players, such as his partner Patrick, who scored only three goals.It also includes several well-known figures in Japanese football.For example, Urawa Red Diamond striker Shinzo Xingyan, Tokyo FC striker Yoshiki Muto...

This is what makes the Japanese media the craziest. A first-year rookie in the league has scored more goals than two Japanese international strikers, including a European player who is about to play for the Premier League!
If it were another person, the Japanese media would inevitably be bitter, but now, the Japanese media is only crazy about Gao Yuyang.

"Young people like this should be in the national team!"

"He is the striker that the Japanese team needs most!"

"Did Harry Hodzic see it? You should be smarter than that stupid guy Aguirre!"

The time for the next international match day is getting closer and closer. The media is full of such appeals. Gamba fans are of course the most active. They hope to see Gao Yuyang be recruited by the new Japanese coach Harry Hodzic. Gamba’s The frontcourt trio can be perfectly copied to the national team.

Naturally, Gao Yuyang inevitably heard such news, even if he didn't pay attention, someone would "remind" him.

"Gao Sang, I hope we can go to the national team together this time."

Endo Yasuhito was of course a good-hearted joke, but Gao Yuyang only smiled on the surface, and he laughed at such a discussion in his heart.

Playing for the Japanese team?
Do your best to please Japanese fans?
Ha ha!

Gao Yuyang didn't answer. He already had an answer to this question in his heart, and he would not change it.

But someone cared about him.

As soon as such a voice came out, Gao Yuyang received the call immediately.

"Xiao Gao, it's me." Dai Jun's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing the voice, Gao Yuyang smiled apologetically: "Oh, brother Dai, I'm sorry, I'm really too busy recently, I even forgot to bubble on our app."

Dai Jun laughed on the other end of the phone: "Haha, I'm not here to hold you accountable, I'm just a little reporter, you can't talk to me about this matter, I have no authority to control you! I'm just here to congratulate Yes. Xiao Gao, do you know that you are already the number one scorer in the league?"

Gao Yuyang really didn't know, so he coughed lightly: "The league has just started, it's still early, it's still early!"

Dai Jun answered with a smile on the other end: "It's still early for you, but Xiao Gao, haha! When everything is settled, we will lose our jobs in this industry. Do you know that we have already put you Your performance has been pushed to the homepage, you have done a great job for our overseas players, haha!"

"Uh……"

Gao Yuyang could only smile awkwardly at these words, and the truth in his heart was: Is my performance considered a big face?Where did it go?

But when he paused, it was not the same thing in Dai Jun's heart.

Dai Jun patted his forehead on the other end of the phone, and thought to himself: I almost missed the business, and I don't know what Gao Yuyang said!If the answer is yes...then why should we be happy?
Dai Jun cleared his throat, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Gao, you should know about some appeals on the Internet recently, right?"

Gao Yuyang's heart moved, and he immediately guessed the purpose of Dai Jun's call.Definitely come to ask yourself your attitude.

Hey, am I this awesome?
Gao Yuyang was quite happy in his heart, so he asked directly: "I know, Brother Dai, I guess you must come to ask me what I think about playing for the Japanese team, right?"

"Ah... this... ahem... not just me, many fans are very concerned about your attitude."

Being singled out for the purpose, Dai Jun was visibly nervous, and even violated the big taboo of being a reporter, he should not speak incoherently at any time.

In fact, this is his real purpose.Not only himself as a Chinese fan is very concerned about Gao Yuyang’s choice, but the boss behind him is even more concerned. If Gao Yuyang chooses to play for the Japanese team instead of representing China, as a member of the young Chinese overseas players...of course this is reasonable , but if this is the case, it will be a big loss to sign a contract with Gao Yuyang as an endorsement business.

"Brother Dai, you should know that I am Japanese."

"Um……"

Dai Jun hummed from his throat, sat on the chair, lowered his head slightly, took off his glasses, with a look of disappointment on his face, his heart was half cold.

Sure enough, is it going to be like this after all?The best geniuses are never ours.

Ugh!
"But!" Gao Yuyang immediately emphasized the tone and said the second half of the sentence.

"But Brother Dai, since I was born, I can't choose my nationality, including my father, because I was born here, but I only have one name up to now. My name is Gao Yuyang, and I have never called it before. Matsumoto, Endo, Ono, etc., my name is Gao Yuyang, and I have always been...Brother Dai, do you understand what I mean?"

Just after Gao Yuyang finished speaking, he heard a "bang" sound on the other end of the phone, as if getting up too hard and knocking over the chair, the next second Gao Yuyang heard Dai Jun's excited response: "Understood, understood Hahaha! Xiao Gao, can we send this news? I believe all fans will be happy for your choice!"

"Okay, I have no objection."

Gao Yuyang agreed very readily. This is his truest thought and his original intention.He has not changed his original intention, and he is not afraid of any doubts.

……

There is an international match day in early April. The new head coach of the Japanese national team, Vahid Khalihodzic, has finalized the training list for the first Japanese national team after taking office.

It’s just that the assistant looked at the list and drew a circle on Gao Yuyang’s name: “Wahid, according to my understanding, this Gamba Osaka striker only started to play in the professional league this season, and he only played three games in total. A league game, two Asian Champions Cup games... Are you sure you want him to replace Yuya Osako?"

Harry Hodzic nodded: "Old man, you should know me. I never look at my qualifications. This player has only three professional league games, but he can score consecutively. At least it shows that he has potential and can be used as a reserve talent for the next World Cup cycle. .”

The assistant couldn't say anything, and stared at Gao Yuyang's name for a long time: "But, his... this name is so strange, it seems to have something to do with China or Korea."

"Are you sure he is Japanese?" Harry Hodzic asked.

The assistant nodded: "The official information of the Gamba Osaka Club shows that it is indeed the case."

Harry Hodzic shrugged his shoulders iconically. The Bosnian-Herzegovina coach who had just led Algeria to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil smiled confidently: "That's good, it doesn't matter, I will seek his opinion immediately."

The assistant became anxious when he heard this: "Hey, Wahid, Gamba Osaka's next game is going to Thailand!"

Harry Hodzic said loudly without turning his head: "Then go to Thailand, immediately, book a ticket! He is the real striker. The Japanese national team needs to change. If we don't want the next World Cup to end in a disastrous defeat, we have to recruit him now." Come in!"

The tone is very firm, just like Harry Hodzic's determination to change after taking office.

……

The next game is April [-]th, the fourth round of the AFC Champions League group stage. Gamba Osaka went away to face the Thai team Buriram United back-to-back.

This time Gao Yuyang came back full of blood, and the result was completely different.Facts have proved that his type of air fighter is simply a big killer against small defenders in Southeast Asia.

Gamba Osaka took three points away from the away game 2-0 with two corner kicks. After the four rounds of the group stage, two wins and two draws accumulated eight points. As long as they can win the next round, they will be able to lock in the group qualifying place one round ahead of schedule .

Harry Hodzic followed Gao Yuyang's performance from the stand box, nodded frequently, and came to the locker room ahead of the end of the game.

Gao Yuyang never expected that he would be stopped by an old man with gray hair and faint wrinkles on his face. The other party extended his hand in a friendly manner and said to himself: "I am Vahid Khalihodzic, the current head coach of the Japanese national team. .”

Gao Yuyang raised his eyebrows, did anyone come to the door in person?
But people are so sincere, it seems that it is not very particular to refuse directly...

Harry Hodzic proposed to have a private chat with Gao Yuyang, and the two went to a VIP lounge.

Harry Hodzic went straight to the point: "Gao, I think you already know why I'm here. You are in the league and your performance just now impressed me very much."

Gao Yuyang smiled: "So, you are here to invite me to join the Japanese national team? That's right."

Harry Hodzic snapped his fingers: "The word invitation is used well, very correctly. Young man, you are about to enter the best national team in Asia, are you ready? I hope to see you in the training camp in a few days. "

In fact, Harry Hodzic didn't intend to ask Gao Yuyang's attitude at all. He was very confident. In his opinion, the attraction of the national team alone, not talking about his own face, would not be a dream for young people in which league?

He narrowed his eyes and smiled, confidently waiting for Gao Yuyang's reaction.

It's just that he is destined to get the most surprising answer here.
