Chapter 84: Humiliation
Everyone was startled by Wang Meng's exclamation, and they all turned their heads and looked at Wang Meng.
Wang Meng realized his gaffe at this time, and then said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm too angry to see something, so it's a bit of a gaffe, which makes you laugh." You go on, go on. ”
Li Feng smiled mildly and said, "It's okay, anyway, we are not in a hurry." It's you, what's wrong?"
Hearing him ask this, Wang Meng's emotions instantly returned to the previous thing, and said angrily: "The International Youth Championship has been held on our side in the past two days, you should know about this, right? ”
Gao Chang patted him on the shoulder and said, "This thing is really depressing. However, it is also a matter of course. The two countries win and lose each other, and the strength of the Chinese team itself will not be stronger than the other party, so there is no way to lose occasionally. ”
Wang Meng shook his head and continued: "If this is the case, I won't say anything, it's not that the Chinese team hasn't lost, and if they lose once or twice, I'm not so out of shape." But those guys in Stick Country are so bullies! Look at the news. ”
Gao Chang took the phone in wonder and read it to everyone: "After winning the Panda Cup with three consecutive wins, South Korean U18 player Park Gyu-hyun took off his sneakers, stepped on the championship trophy, and laughed wildly in the field, revealing a hateful face. There are even players who make peeing motions, completely ignoring this trophy. ”
After reading it, he himself was a little confused. Picked up the phone and read it again, turned his head and asked Wang Meng: "Is this a piece of news? Isn't it a spoof?"
Before Wang Meng could answer, Li Feng let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's not a spoof, it's indeed news, I just found it." ”
At this moment, everyone also turned out their mobile phones and saw this news, and everyone was indignant for a while. But the anger was followed by infinite depression.
Regardless of the subsequent apology or sanctions, humiliation is already humiliation.
Think about our national game, think about the territory we are good at, have we ever had any provocations after winning easily?
It is true that we are a country of etiquette, but that doesn't mean that we have to suffer the humiliation of others and not fight back? But what do we use to fight back, and what is the use of sanctions?
Backwardness and beating, success and defeat, this principle has been used since ancient times. Apologizing is just a face-saving project done by the other party under pressure, and the other party itself is deliberate, so how much sincerity does the apology have, or in other words, what is the use of apologizing? People themselves look down on you in their bones, because you really can't do it, and you are vulnerable in front of others!
If the Chinese team can beat them to crying dad and mother, then after they win once in a while, do they dare to do so? Are you embarrassed to do this? In the final analysis, it is because our own strength is not strong, and if we want to be respected, we must have our own strength. Everything else is empty talk!
After sighing, Li Feng said to his players: "This is the result of not being strong, if our Chinese team is strong enough, then we don't need to say anything, just slap the face, but we don't have the strength to slap the other party's face now, so we can only ask for an official explanation, and let the other party come to a so-called insincere apology, but this is really not much for us What do you think, but after I read this, I have an idea, hurry up and improve our own strength." Whether it is the country of sticks or the country of rice, if you dare to humiliate, then we will fight back!"
Everyone nodded yes.
The atmosphere of the review, which was supposed to be good, was directly dispersed by this news, and everyone was not in the mood to continue the review. Seeing that the time was not early, I discussed going to dinner together.
At dinner, it is inevitable to talk about football, after all, they are all football players. Zhao Ying listened quietly next to her, she was not interested in football, but only in the goalkeeper who played football, so she paid attention to it.
Of course, Chinese football is famous like this, and it can be used anywhere by ridicule, even if she doesn't know anything about football, she also knows the weak position of Chinese football in the world.
However, I have recently begun to know why Zhang Jie chose football. Maybe there is no patriotism, nor can there be any worry for the country, but it is simply some sense of responsibility that a Chinese person should have.
She also began to understand why Zhang Jie chose to take this path, and why he was so eager to achieve his goal.
At the dinner table, it is inevitable to talk about the team's next steps.
As an outsider, Wang Meng does not have the consciousness that an outsider should have.
After listening to the conversation of the team members and knowing their general plan for the next step, I couldn't help but interject: "In my opinion, your team should not be slow to cultivate, cut through the chaos quickly, and directly introduce a group of professional players." If you look at the top clubs in China now, which one of them has not introduced a large number of foreign aids? In this way, this team can develop faster, and you just rely on these existing players, so when will it develop?"
Zhang Jie said angrily: "Why don't you mind if I dig up the top players in the Bundesliga and Serie A, can I directly play a world-class game!"
Wang Meng smiled and said, "I think it's okay!"
Zhang Jie looked at him with disdain and said: "You can look at it! Even if you don't have to consider the sky-high cost, what's the use of you bringing them here? When you play in the World Cup, they can play for you? What are you kidding? Iron still needs to be our own, and we still have to consider ourselves from our own part, although it is not necessarily necessary to train people from our existing teams, but it must be Chinese people, there is no doubt about this. ”
Zhao Ying rarely interjected two sentences: "I agree with what Zhang Jie said." Money is not everything, even if you really buy some top foreign players, it is not of much use to the Chinese team, but it is easy to rely on it, and it is not conducive to the next development of the team. It's better to start directly from the inside and cultivate some excellent players, even if it doesn't work in one or two years, we will have ten or eight years, but there will always be a day when we succeed. ”
Wang Meng teased: "You little two are very good-hearted!"
Li Feng answered: "I also think my brother and sister's words make sense. Our aim is to lead Chinese football to the world, not just how long our team lasts, which doesn't make much sense. Therefore, our regular players must be Chinese, and as for the coach, if we have the capital back, it is okay to invite some foreign coaches. After all, the strengths and avoid the weaknesses are the king. There is still a certain gap between the level of domestic football and foreign strong teams. This is true both in theory and in practice. ”
Wang Meng just wanted to be lively, although the opinions he put forward were unanimously rejected by everyone, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but continued: "Then do you have any specific plans? Now in China, it is not so easy to mix up football. Although you won today, it is really not so deserved. To be honest, if Zhang Jie hadn't been here today, then I think you would have lost badly. ”
Although what Wang Meng said is not very good, it is indeed a fact, and it is a fact recognized by the whole team, so everyone doesn't care about his statement, but the question he threw out really needs to be considered by the whole team.
Li Feng had a preliminary discussion with Gao Chang and Zhang Jie before. The basic idea is to go through a period of practice first, and then through one game after another, to improve your fame. At the same time, in this process, we will raise some funds to improve some of the team's facilities, including some due personnel, full-time logistics staff, management team, and then professional coaches, etc., to develop in the direction of professionalism. After it matures, it is necessary to introduce some players in a targeted manner, and the existing surplus personnel will be diverted according to their abilities. For example, Li Feng, Gao Chang and others will take the initiative to quit the team and engage in post-management work.
Li Feng said with a smile: "We plan to go in the direction of a professional team, and the ultimate goal is definitely to establish a club, and it is the top club in China, the kind that can select players to represent Chinese football in the world." However, it is still in the initial stage of the primary stage, and it is still in the state of a dream, and there is still a long, long way to go to achieve this goal. Of course, it is possible that we will not be able to achieve it at all, but people have to have dreams, don't they?"
It's not that Li Feng doesn't have confidence in the future, but that the team does face a lot of problems and uncertainties, and there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal.
For example, the first one, the biggest problem now is that the overall quality of the team needs to be improved, and it needs to make a qualitative leap. A ball game has been exposed, many problems of the team, everyone's passion is there, but there is no passion, and it is not possible to realize the passion.
Now the output of the whole team seems to be only Zhang Jie alone, and the others are also working hard, but they are so vulnerable in front of opponents who are stronger than their own team, and they still can't make achievements with all their efforts.
Zhang Jie's performance in the last game was really good, and he had outstanding performances in both goalkeeping and attack, but he couldn't just rely on Zhang Jie to be both a goalkeeper and a main attacker in every game, right?
And at the same time, except for Zhang Jie himself, no one will believe that Zhang Jie can achieve 100 percent success in goal, and who will make up for the ball that Zhang Jie missed? On the other hand, if Zhang Jie is injured or cannot participate in the game for other reasons, will the entire team have to suspend work? At least for now, except for Zhang Jie, the level of the others is still too far behind. If this problem is not solved, the development of the team will definitely stagnate.
In addition to this, there is a second question, which has the potential to be more intractable than the first.
