"Chinese Dragon Slashes Three Lions, Historic Final"

"Young Owen, it is difficult to rescue a thousand miles alone"

"The boy chasing the wind, although he didn't catch up with the wind, he caught up with the ball"

"One pass and one rescue, the boy who sprints with Jianlibao"

"The strongest dark horse in the World Youth Championships, now it may be black to the end"

After the Chinese team defeated the opponent 1-0 again to advance, it once again caused heated discussions around the world.

Football is such a sport that can be independent of other sports and is extremely authoritative and widely concerned, and with its charm and greatness, FIFA can wrestle with the IOC.

As a result, after 1992, FIFA achieved another important strategic goal with the Olympic Games: to create and improve the system of world football competitions, which from the under-17 World Junior Championship to the under-21 World Youth Championship, to the under-23 Olympic football tournament, to the World Cup without age limit.

The role of the first three events is to provide practical opportunities for countries to train and train reserve forces, and ultimately ensure the quality and level of the World Cup, making it a high-quality event in global sports.

As the "little brother" of the World Cup, the World Youth Championships are almost as concerned as the Olympic Games, and even more so.

"Let's pick and choose which country's youth army is powerful and discover some good seedlings!"

"Then let's go to the World Junior Championships! Isn't it possible to watch the Olympics again? ”

No strong team lasts forever, even if the country's national team has played heroically in the World Cup and the Olympics. But if the youth army can't make a name for themselves in the competitions, then it is not difficult to foresee that when this group of national players grows old, the country's home team will disappear from public view for at least ten to twenty years.

At all times, talent is urgently needed by the whole world; Younger talent will be in high demand.

When a youth team rises to prominence at the World Junior Championships, people don't need to pay attention to how their national team is doing, even if it has never reached the World Cup finals once.

Especially when the team is so close to the championship, people inevitably think about what it will be like in four years.

No one dares to pat their chests and guarantee that the World Youth Championship is the World Cup champion, but if a team can win the World Youth Championship, then it will definitely not be far behind!

Now, the Jianlibao youth team and the World Youth Championship are only one step away, and the media around the world are gathering to discuss this matter.

......

“... England are a very strong team and it was a fluke that we qualified. At the post-match press conference, when Ou Chuliang spoke as the captain of the youth team, all the spotlight was on him.

'Throughout the game, the England players posed a big threat to our goal and caused me a lot of problems.

"But luckily, we all saved them from the danger, and that's the ending we see now."

"For example, Murphy's shot from a tight angle in the first half, or midfielder's powerful shot from outside the box, or Michael's shot. Irving's one-on-one shot before the end of the game. It only takes one more shot and our efforts will be lost. ”

"We learned a lot from playing against England, who are the birthplace of modern football and have a lot to learn from them."

"Growing up in learning, my coach Mr. Zhu Guanghu often told us."

"So we give our all in every game, even if we lose, we don't have regrets."

"Luckily we made it to the final. In the final in a few days' time, we will still play with a learning attitude, and no matter which team wins the championship in the end, it will be a victory for us today. ”

Click, click, click...

After Ou Chuliang spoke, he nodded to the media in the audience and pushed the microphone back.

It stands to reason that as the last person to speak, the press conference can be declared closed after the end of the speech. But at this time, neither the reporter nor the videographer seemed to want Ou Chuliang to leave.

Under the tacit understanding of the reporter, a blonde beautiful reporter with a conservative dress and a convex figure stood up, raised her hand and asked: "Hello OU, I'm Lisa, a reporter from the Spanish newspaper Marca." ”

Ou Chuliang nodded, put down the mineral water bottle that had just been half-screwed, pulled the microphone in front of him again, and made a "please" gesture.

After receiving a polite response from Ou Chuliang, the corners of Lisa's mouth curled, and even her voice was a little happy.

"OU, I HEARD THAT YOU ARE NOT ONLY PROFICIENT IN ENGLISH, BUT ALSO IN PORTUGUESE, RIGHT?"

Ou Chuliang was stunned, but he didn't expect the other party's question to have nothing to do with the game.

Since it is a private issue, it is not a "top-secret file". Ou Chuliang smiled slightly, and said into the microphone: "That's right, when I went to study in Brazil, I was already proficient in English and Portuguese. And since Portuguese and Spanish are similar, I speak Spanish well now. In addition, I speak a little Serbian and German, because most of the foreign coaches in our national team are German and Serbian. ”

After Ou Chuliang finished speaking, he said "hello" to everyone in the above languages, and the audience immediately burst into applause.

Zhu Guanghu looked at Ou Chuliang with satisfaction, he was very happy to see Ou Chuliang show his fine tradition of diligence and studiousness in front of these Europeans and Americans.

"I see, no wonder you're so good."

After hearing this, Lisa's eyes were about to narrow into crescent moons, and looking at her appearance, she seemed to be more satisfied than Zhu Guanghu.

There was Lisa as the "advance dispatch", and immediately after that, another reporter raised his hand in succession. When they stood up and asked questions, they realized that they were all reporters of that kind of stature and appearance, and they came from various newspapers in various European countries.

And the questions they asked were very personal and almost irrelevant to the game.

"How high can you jump?"

"How many hours a day do you train?"

"Can you swim?"

"How often do you see a dentist?"

"What are your criteria for choosing a mate..."

The reporters took the trouble to ask questions, Zhu Guanghu was fine, after all, as a representative of the Chinese side, he was also one of the characters in the camera; On the British side, it was much worse, not only did the reporters not ask questions, but they didn't even turn the lights there. The two sat in the corner, and even the reporters of The Guardian and the BBC did not notice them.

Oh my God, could it be that we were raised by our stepfather?

At the end of the question, even the organizers felt that the press conference was a bit off-topic and too long. It was only then that a reporter from The Kicker stood up and asked in blunt English: "OU, will you choose to play in Germany in the future?" ”

At this moment, everyone fell silent. Even the staff of the organizer stopped the relevant matters in their hands. They made a decision at the same time, waiting for Ou Chuliang to answer the question before choosing to clear the field.

Ou Chuliang looked at the expectant foreigner in the audience, and it seemed that the German reporter had finally asked the question they were looking forward to.

"Ahem... Uh, this, how do you say it. ”

Ou Chuliang smiled slightly, then shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows what will happen in the future?" ”

Hey!!!

Seeing Ou Chuliang's slippery answer, a voice of dissatisfaction immediately sounded in the audience.

That's not the answer they want to know.

After asking you so many personal questions such as height, weight, and measurements, do you really think that we are giving you a blind date?

It's not that your country's football association is too difficult to handle, so we can only come to me to find out what you mean.

If you are willing to go abroad, then even if we competitors join forces, we must help you fan the flames and create some public opinion advantages to pressure your Football Association to release people. But now that you're not as bad as your Football Association, do you really think that you can win the world's top by playing a few cup matches in Asia and a few friendly matches in Brazil?

You know, Europe is the temple of modern football!

There are the top leagues, the top coaches, the top players, the most scientific training methods and the most professional venues, etc., don't you want to come and see it?

Seeing this, a reporter hurriedly stood up and asked: "OU, don't you really want to come and play football in Europe?" If you want to come, I can take you directly to Paris Saint-Germain for a tryout. With your ability, it only takes three years to play in Paris, no, two years, even a year, and you'll be the main goalkeeper. Don't you know what that means to you?"

Seeing that the staff had begun to walk towards the microphone at the urging of the leader, the reporter finally couldn't help it and tried to see him.

There is a leader, and other reporters are no longer hiding it, and the Bundesliga, the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A all have scouts disguised as reporters who open their mouths and talk about the advantages that the club behind them can give.

They reported their origins, not just to win over Ou Chuliang. Their purpose is the team behind Ou Chuliang, whether it is the discussion that shines in speed, or Zhang Xiaorui, who is extremely skilled in ball control, or Li Jinyu in attack and Li Tie in defense, these players have become sweethearts in the eyes of scouts.

As long as Ou Chuliang opens his mouth, then the Chinese Football Association has no reason to reject other players. When the time comes, Jianlibao's big cake must not be divided by European giants at will?

Although they thought well, Ou Chuliang still stood up at the signal of the staff, smiled at the expelled reporters and scouts in the audience, and responded with a helpless expression.

The press conference became like this, and Ou Chuliang began to think that it was a "conspiracy" of the Europeans.

It is also a well-established fact that the highest honours in football have always been held by European and American teams.

But now, the Asian team, which is considered to be the weakest, has reached the final of the World Youth Championship, and whether it is against Ireland or Argentina in the final, it is a powerful slap in the face of these European and American giants.

Creating some news about buying and selling players before the final to distract players and achieve the purpose of psychological warfare is already a traditional trick of foreigners.

So although Ou Chuliang knew that some of them were sincere and some were telling the truth, he had to keep his mouth shut before the final. As long as he reveals a little rumor, these European media will write a big book, and even achieve the goal of dividing the team.

So in the end, Ou Chuliang didn't say anything. Escorted by security personnel, he left the press conference with Zhu Guanghu.

"Chu Liang, you did well today." In the players' tunnel, Zhu Guanghu patted Ou Chuliang's shoulder and said with relief: "You are still calm." If you bring the other cubs to the press conference, they will hear that so many powerful clubs have recruited them, and their tails will not be raised to the sky! I think about playing abroad every day, do you still think about playing? The next game is the final, and when the time comes, the sloppy in the final will be completely lost! ”

"What the coach said is that when I go back, I will let them guard against arrogance and rashness, and treat the last final with a calm mind."

"Then Chu Liang, I'll look up to you!" Zhu Guanghu laughed.

For a long time, Ou Chuliang has not only been appreciated and praised by Zhu Guanghu and others for his good work, but also the link between the coach and the players. Under Ou Chuliang's example, the players will follow suit, which is what Zhu Guanghu values Ou Chuliang most as a coach.

"One more, Chu Liang, there are some things, although I know that you have paid attention to yourself, but I can't help but tell you."

"Coach, you say."

"That's what it's like to play abroad." Zhu Guanghu let out a sigh and said, "Chu Liang, don't think that those foreigners are kind. Promise you this promise that, in fact, there are many conditions and troubles! ”

"And is the air fresh abroad? Is the moon round abroad? Our domestic professional league has been running for three years, and with the introduction of foreign aid and foreign coaches, we are no worse than that small Japanese league. ”

"When you come back to work after graduation with your batch of Jianlibao top students, won't our AA's strength have to double? Our territory is still big, and when the time comes, all the best coaches and good players from all over the world will come to play in our country, and I would say that it is better to stay in China and play games. ”

"Chu Liang, did you say that?"

Zhu Guanghu's views represent the views of almost all the older coaches and football workers in this era. Obviously, we all have a professional league, can't we honestly play in China? Why did you go out and suffer that sin?

The main thing is, you go out as a Chinese, when something happens, will the locals turn towards you? If you encounter any grievances, will the local police help you solve them? If you have an injury, will the local doctor do his best to treat you?

This kind of typical "Chinese-style parent" care cannot be said to be wrong. But in a sense, it definitely hinders the development of the child.

Ou Chuliang did not answer Zhu Guanghu's "heartfelt words" directly, and he was confident that he would help Vice Chairman Xu and Wang Junsheng to do a good job in the domestic league, but it would take time. Or even ten or twenty years.

Doing a good league is a leader's business, and playing a good game is a player's business.

It is very important for leaders to ensure the fairness, impartiality and openness of the domestic league; For players, it is important to work hard to improve their technical and tactical standards and be in line with the world level.

If you work behind closed doors in China, no matter how talented a player is, he will never reach the top level in the world.

So Ou Chuliang is not against going abroad, but he needs to get the support of the Football Association before going abroad.

Just imagine, if a Chinese person goes abroad and does not have the backing of the country to support you, then the phenomenon of "being bullied by the indigenous people" mentioned by Zhu Guanghu will almost 100% happen.

Seeing that Ou Chuliang didn't answer immediately, Zhu Guanghu was a little panicked.

He was really afraid that Ou Chuliang would not think the same as he thought.

"Chu Liang, what the coach said to you is heartfelt. You said that we have been in a relationship for so many years, can the coach still harm you? ”

Hearing this, Ou Chuliang could only raise his head and smile bitterly: "Coach Zhu, as my elder, you must not harm me..."

"That's right, so..."

"So we still have to look at the rules of the Football Association, right?" Ou Chuliang hurriedly replied.

"The Football Association?" Zhu Guanghu was stunned for a moment, looking at Ou Chuliang who was blinking, but he didn't expect him to mention the word Football Association at this time.

But after thinking about it, the Football Association was on the same side as him, and he was also against the early retention of players, so he hurriedly responded: "That's right, we have to listen to national regulations." If the people above support, let's do it; The people above are against it, so let's not hit it with our heads. Chu Liang, although you are precocious, Uncle Zhu has lived so long after all. If you have a heart-wrenching word, you must not be young and vigorous and work against the organization, then there will be no good end in the future..."

Zhu Guanghu has been in Brazil, and the news is naturally very backward.

What he didn't know was that the Football Association had begun to put the proposal for the transfer of players to foreign countries on the regulations through this World Youth Championship. Wang Junsheng and Yanshiduo are actively holding a meeting in the capital, gathering experts from all walks of life to discuss this matter.

In particular, the first stage of the World Preliminary Tournament has come to an end, and in addition to the next top 10 matches, the Football Association has really free up its hands to discuss this issue. Maybe when Ou Chuliang returns home from the competition, he will be able to come up with a rough charter.

"But no matter what, I'm not going to be influenced by these media." Ou Chuliang first gave Zhu Guanghu a reassurance.

"When the opponent for the final match is decided, I have to go back and study how to fight the opponent."

"It's more important to focus on winning the game and winning the championship than anything else!"

"Yes, yes, winning the championship is more important than anything else, more important than anything else." When Zhu Guanghu heard this, he also quickly nodded and agreed.

The biggest goal at this stage is to win the championship.

The two talked and came to the door of the locker room of the youth team.

Before opening the door, Ou Chuliang frowned, because he could hear the cheers and noises of the players from a distance, and there was a smell of alcohol in the air.

Smack.

As soon as the door opened, a wave of water hit you. Ou Chuliang stretched out his hand quickly, and subconsciously dodged behind Zhu Guang's protective body, and the latter instantly turned into a soup chicken.

"Hahahahaha!!"

"Long live the coach!"

"Long live Team Europe!"

"Hahaha...."

The room was filled with laughter, and several players were having fun with champagne and other drinks in their hands.

"What are you doing here?" Zhu Guanghu was spilled with champagne, and there was inevitably a trace of anger in his voice.

"Coach? You're back! Come and celebrate with everyone, we won! It's time to make it to the finals! Qualified for the finals!! Zhang Xiaorui, a fool, didn't see the corners of Zhu Guanghu's beating eyebrows at all, and shook the champagne in his hand again, as if he wanted to aim at Ou Chuliang behind Zhu Guang's protection.

"Enough! Stop! Zhu Guanghu couldn't help but shout anymore: "Immediately, immediately!! ”

In an instant, the noise in the room died down, and everyone froze in place.

"Bastard! Hum! Let you bully me! ”

The deliberation who was pressed to the bottom was completely unaware of the situation outside the crowd, and when he saw that he was no longer restrained, he immediately pushed away everyone's hands and got up from the ground. wiped a handful of wine from his face, snatched the champagne from Li Jinyu's hand, shook it and rushed out of the crowd, and subconsciously slammed it forward: "Haha, win, win!! ”

looked at the double chin of the people around him, and then looked at Zhu Guanghu, who was sprayed again, and realized that something was wrong.

Zhu Guanghu in front of him was trembling all over, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.

"Teaching, coaching? You, when did you come back? Shi Yi suddenly put the wine bottle in his hand behind his back, and put on an innocent expression on his face.

Seeing that Zhu Guanghu's volcano was about to erupt, Ou Chuliang walked out from behind Zhu Guanghu and pinched his ears.

"Ahh Pain pain ... Brother Ou, you tap..."

The discussion was taken to the side, and Ou Chuliang raised his foot at the deliberation's ass and kicked him into the corner: "Quickly put on your pants, you think this is in the swimming pool?" ”

"Oh—" Counselor shuddered as he put down the bottle in his hand, then grabbed a pair of sneakers and put them on.

Zhu Guanghu wiped his face and finally burst out.

"Who TM told you to celebrate? Where did this wine come from? ”

"You're all crazy, aren't you?"

"It's all tickling?"

"Did you win the final?"

"Did you win the championship?"

"It's a virtue to win a semi-final, if you win the championship, don't you guys have to fly to the sky?"

"Du TM put on my clothes, packed my luggage and followed me back to the hotel."

"TMD, except for Chu Liang, write me a 10,000-word review tonight, and let Chu Liang hand it over to me tomorrow morning. If you can't finish writing, no one is allowed to sleep! ”

"One by one, it's against the sky, why can't I control you?"

Under Zhu Guanghu's angry scolding, everyone was like a frosted eggplant. They all lowered their heads, and no matter whose jersey and pants they were, they put them on their bodies, and they didn't wipe off the water and wine on their bodies.

People like Zheng Yi and Zhang Xiaorui, who had drunk a lot of wine, kept burping, and glanced at Zhu Guanghu with their spare eyes every time they beat them, afraid that he would come over and give them a few slaps.

Ou Chuliang took the towel and wiped the wine on his body for the discussion, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyi, what are you doing here?" What about Coach Liu? What about Coach Lee? Can they do this without you? Who gave you permission to do this? ”

"Also, where did all this wine come from?"

After discussing "Ah Qiu", he sneezed, and said aggrievedly: "Coach Li and Coach Liu have something to go out, there seems to be something wrong with the bus back to the hotel, and he went to negotiate." ”

"The wine was given to us by the fans, and as we passed through the players' tunnel, a couple of fans handed it to us from the stands..."

When he heard that it was sent by the fans, Ou Chuliang was even more worried.

"Are you stupid? When you were a child, your mother didn't teach you that you can't accept what strangers give? What's more, it's still wine. It's a big no-no thing for athletes, don't you know? ”

"But it's not any ordinary wine!" Counselor said pitifully, "Gazi said that this is champagne, and it is still good." And it hasn't been opened, this is a little bit of the fans' heart, so we didn't think much about it, so we accepted it. And, and I didn't drink much, I just had a drink, no, a sip, a sip. Rinse your mouth and spit it out, so..."

"So what?" Looking at the discussion, Ou Chuliang scolded with a look of hatred, "You believe it when he says it's a fan, and you believe it when he says it's not opened?" If you add some medicine to it, we'll be served in a pot, you know? ”

"You're usually very clever, how can you win a ball, and this little bit of defense is gone?"

"Are you like this, can I and the coach be at ease?"

"Do you think it's a child who hasn't grown up?"

Listening to Ou Chuliang's series of reprimands, he was about to cry after discussing grievances.

Obviously, he didn't collect the wine, and he didn't drink it much. Even when celebrating, he was the one who was bullied.

Why do you only say me?

I'm obviously a victim, Brother Ou, you don't care about me, I... Woo woo...

Looking at this virtue, Ou Chuliang also sighed: "Xiaoyi, you have changed. ”

"Brother Ou, I haven't changed!" Hearing Ou Chuliang say this, Shi Yi was so frightened that he immediately raised his head and retorted with a stiff neck.

"Still saying it hasn't changed?" Ou Chuliang slapped the top of the discussion's head, pressed his head down, and carefully wiped his hair stuck together with the wine with a towel, "Do you remember when you watched the World Cup at Ah Wei's house a few years ago?" At that time, Zheng Yi, the old boy, secretly took a sip of wine, and you gave me a small report, but now? Why haven't you kept this 'fine tradition' alive, and you have 'joined them'? ”

Seeing Ou Chuliang mentioning the past, he also knew that he was at a loss when he discussed, so he closed his mouth and stopped talking.

In this way, all the Jianlibao players hung their heads after the game, avoided the flashing lights and interviews of reporters, and slipped on the bus one by one like thieves and returned to the hotel.

That night, everyone almost crushed their pens after taking a shower. Under Zhu Guanghu's orders, many people did not finish the review until three or four o'clock in the morning, and then fell asleep on the bed.

Early the next morning, Ou Chuliang came to Zhu Guanghu's room with a stack of review books.

After Zhu Guanghu took it and checked them one by one, he asked suspiciously, "Chu Liang, why didn't you discuss it?" ”

Ou Chuliang let out a long sigh, sat on the sofa, and said helplessly: "Coach, I was just about to talk to you about this." ”

"Xiaoyi, he was poured with wine yesterday, and he was scared for most of the night. Now I have a fever and am lying in bed. ”
