Chapter 597: Junior
"Uh. Duan Yun was suddenly stunned when he heard this.
In fact, the fans of Huaxia are not less than any country in the world, and they are fanatical enough.
It's just that for a long time, the national football team has a very poor record in various world competitions, and even in Asia, it will be beaten by some third-rate small countries, and only once in history has it been lucky to enter the World Cup, but the group stage has no results, and in the end it can only accept the end of the elimination of white rolls.
It can be said that the national football team has broken the hearts of domestic fans over the years, and even to the point of stinky streets, so that most people sneer at the national football team, shake their heads and sigh.
Although in the past two years, national leaders have begun to pay attention to the development of football, invested heavily in football, and encouraged entrepreneurs to invest in professional leagues at the policy level.
And there is another problem that is very embarrassing for Duan Yun.
That is, in foreign countries, the influence of a well-known star is stronger than that of a film and television star, and he also has a considerable social status in the local area, but in China, even the top local stars still have very limited influence in China.
In addition, in terms of sponsors and product endorsements, the gap between football stars and film and television stars is even more huge.
And even the top players in China can get very few endorsement advertisements, and the price of two or three million a year is already considered to have touched the ceiling, which shows that the difference in commercial value between stars and stars is indeed too great!
When Duan Yun chose to become a professional player before, he didn't think too much about this aspect, but now when playing football has become his future career, this is also a problem he must consider.
On the one hand, it is important to be strong enough to show absolute strength on the field, and on the other hand, it is more important, that is, the results of the national football team must have dazzling results in international competitions, only in this way, mobilize national pride and emotions, the national football team will be recognized and liked by the Chinese people, after all, the national football team represents the level of the country as a whole.
At present, although Duan Yun has master-level skills, he obviously cannot enter the national team in the short term, and the only thing he can do at the moment is to reflect his personal value on the court first.
When Duan Yun followed his teammates into the court, from the other side of the entrance, the Beihe Youth Team, wearing a blue jersey, also slowly walked into the court.
Although the other party was only a player from the provincial youth team, Duan Yun could see at a glance that the players on the other side were obviously carefully selected masters, all of them were as tall as javelins, and on the whole, they were actually half a head taller than Duan Yun's happy team!
Although soccer players do not have a very limited height advantage over basketball, in lower-level games, tall players often have a significant advantage in grabbing and heading, and can often even play a decisive role in the game.
In the entire team, only the height of striker Jiang Tao can slightly suppress half of this group of national youth teams, and other players, including Duan Yun, are somewhat inferior in height.
"Come and assemble. At this time, Zhou Hailong signaled the players to walk to the middle of the field, turned his head and smiled and greeted the Beihe youth team walking opposite.
"Brother Zhou, hello!" The leader of the opposing youth team was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, and after Zhou Hailong walked over, he immediately greeted with a smile.
Zhou Hailong was also a member of the national football team in his early years, although he did not play many games on behalf of the country, and he was far less famous than Gao Bo, but in the domestic professional league, he was also a coach with relatively old qualifications, and he was the predecessor of many young coaches.
"Welcome, welcome!" Zhou Hailong stepped forward and shook hands with the middle-aged coach, and said, "Xiao Wang, I only heard this year that you are now a coach, and I didn't expect that after less than a few years, we will really become peers." ”
For this middle-aged coach, Zhou Hailong can also be regarded as knowing.
In the early years, when Zhou Hailong was not hired by Gao Bo to be the coach of the provincial team, he also briefly attended a short-term coaching training course held by the Chinese Football Association for a few months under the recommendation of Gao Bo.
At that time, when Zhou Hailong was training in the Football Association, this middle-aged man named Wang Wei was also a student of the training class, and the two knew each other well.
Unlike Zhou Hailong, who is dedicated to seeking employment, this Wang Wei's family situation is very good, although he used to be a player of the youth team of Bac Ho Province, but in fact he has basically never entered the national team, nor does he have any professional player experience, and his participation in that coach training course is more like a ticket.
At the beginning of the training class, Zhou Hailong was definitely a 'big brother' level figure in that training class, and even the lecturer in charge of training debuted later than him, so in that training class, anyone in front of Zhou Hailong had to call 'brother', Wang Wei was even more respectful in front of Zhou Hailong, and he called Zhou Hailong's big brother with a smile when he opened and closed his mouth, extremely humble and respectful.
Zhou Hailong didn't put this Wang Wei in his eyes at that time, he always felt that this young junior was usually a little unscrupulous, and he was not suitable for being a coach at all, but he didn't expect that in the past few years, this Wang Wei had really become the coach of the youth team of Beihe Province, and the two had become peers!
"yes, time flies. Wang Wei was quite polite to Zhou Hailong on the surface, but a trace of arrogance that could not be concealed flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "Since I graduated from that training class, I have been to foreign teams for more than two years at my own expense, and I have really benefited a lot in the past two years......
"Uh. Zhou Hailong was stunned when he heard this.
As the so-called foreign monks will chant sutras.
With the current level of Chinese football, it is true that there is a big gap between foreign countries and foreign countries, especially European countries, whether it is the national football team or the domestic league, will spend high-tech to hire well-known foreign coaches, even if it is a third-rate coach abroad, compared with domestic local coaches, it is much more popular.
And even Wang Wei, a former third-rate player, can be directly promoted to the youth team of a province after successfully 'gilding' abroad......
