After returning to China, Ou Chuliang went to visit Vice Chairman Xu as soon as possible.

Seeing that Vice Chairman Xu could already walk on the ground with the help of others, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chu Liang, this time I walked around the ghost gate. If you hadn't taught Xiaonuo those first-aid knowledge, I'm afraid I would have been more lucky this time! ”

Vice Chairman Xu said and laughed.

"Uncle Xu, seeing that you have this spiritual head, I am much more relieved." Ou Chuliang followed aside, carried Vice Chairman Xu to the bench downstairs in the community, and sat down slowly.

"Chu Liang, although you are fortunate to win the Asian Cup this time, you can't be proud! You still have a long way to go, and with your level, it will not be a problem to stay in the position of the main country for 20 years. So you must learn to guard against arrogance and rashness, so that you can go for a long time, understand? ”

"I see." Ou Chuliang nodded modestly.

Seeing Ou Chuliang's well-behaved appearance, Vice Chairman Xu nodded with satisfaction, remembered something again, and asked, "Chu Liang, what do you think of your coach?" ”

"Coach? Who? Coach Qi? ”

"That's right, it's him."

"I think it's okay. Coach Qi is usually very serious, and he pays close attention to our training, and everything is required of us with high standards. And..."

"No, I'm not asking you that." Vice Chairman Xu interrupted Ou Chuliang's statement, "I'm asking if you think your Coach Qi has any shortcomings?" Or is there something unsatisfactory? ”

Looking at Ou Chu's curious eyes, Vice Chairman Xu comforted: "It's okay, don't be afraid." It's just the two of us here, you can rest assured to say it boldly. ”

Even though Vice Chairman Xu said this, Ou Chuliang still shook his head: "Uncle Xu, I think Coach Qi is very good, there is nothing wrong." ”

Hearing Ou Chuliang's answer, Vice Chairman Xu suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and his tense expression relaxed.

"Good, good, good!" Vice Chairman Xu said hello three times in a row.

"The father does not speak of the son's virtue, and the son does not speak of the father's faults. Chu Liang, do you remember, even if Coach Qi is inappropriate, it's not you players who say it, do you understand? ”

Seeing Vice Chairman Xu's suddenly serious expression, Ou Chuliang nodded hurriedly.

"Nowadays, society is developing too fast, and the way football is played is also changing. Recently, I read some foreign football newspapers, and those countries with developed football are talking about the all-round development of athletes. It seems that this will be the general trend, except for the goalkeeper, other outfield players who are only good at one position will eventually be eliminated! ”

Although Vice Chairman Xu was worried about himself, Ou Chuliang could vaguely hear the deeper meaning of these words.

The Chinese team won the Asian Cup, which was originally a joyous event worth celebrating.

However, some players frequently talked about the coach in interviews after returning home.

It is true that Qi Zhaosheng has made some inappropriate mistakes in the Asian Cup, but these should not be said by the players.

Whether it is the inheritance of Chinese culture for thousands of years, or the system of today's society. hyped up the coach's mistakes in front of the public and vented his dissatisfaction, although such a player was cool for a while, it seemed that he had received support from the people. But in fact, what those in power hate the most is this kind of stabbing guy, this kind of person who doesn't know how to converge, and will eventually hurt himself because of their merits.

"Chu Liang, I won't tell you. Now there are too many old fritters on the national team, and the atmosphere is not very good. But making changes doesn't happen overnight, we can't beat everyone to death with a stick, we can only let time eliminate them little by little. ”

"And you Jianlibao students are the hope of our new generation of Chinese football."

"So I hope that you, the captain, can lead them to play football well, develop their football skills in an all-round way, and at the same time, they can also have a healthy and upward good character. Many people in this society are blindly obedient, and he will follow what the leader does, and I hope you will be a good leader. ”

"The stadium is the battlefield, although you can endure well, but without virtue, the country will not hire you."

"What I mean, Chu Liang, do you understand?"

Ou Chuliang nodded solemnly, "Chuliang is taught." ”

Although there is no such title as the so-called "ball bully" in this era, Vice Chairman Xu, who has been up and down in officialdom for many years, does not want Ou Chuliang to become a figure like "ball tyrant" in the future.

From the perspective of a person in power, the best way to prevent such a situation from happening is to promote another person to strike a balance between the two.

But emotionally speaking, Vice Chairman Xu really didn't want to go that far. And if that happens, the Chinese team will never reach its peak.

He'd seen too much of this dirty game of scheming in officialdom, and he didn't want to let it tarnish football anymore.

Football is pure, and he hopes that China can have a team that sincerely loves the country, loves football, and has the deepest desire for the championship.

Of course, Ou Chuliang understood what Vice Chairman Xu meant, and at this moment, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.

However, Ou Chuliang's brows were completely relaxed after only two or three seconds of frowning. Because he suddenly found that there was one more meaning in his life.

......

After the players were on vacation, the Football Association began to review and summarize.

The winners and losers are summarized, and I am afraid that the only advantage that the Football Association has saved until now. Although it is rare to see a football team win nowadays, the tradition of meeting after the game continues to this day.

Due to the need to attend the AFC meeting on the host country of the 2000 Asian Cup, Wang Junsheng delayed his return to China for several days. Although the application failed, Wang Junsheng felt that with this championship, the right to host the Asian Cup in 04 would fall on China anyway.

At that time, the local championship will be much more lively than now.

At the year-end summary meeting, Yuan Weimin first affirmed the merits of all the members of the Chinese team and set the personality for this Asian Cup trip.

Then it was announced that Vice Chairman Xu would be given a long vacation, and the official would be reinstated after he recovered, and his belongings would be represented by the eyes during this period.

Seeing that everyone did not object, Yuan Weimin announced another major news: starting from 97, the national team will be composed of Ladd and three foreign coaches, and the Chinese coaching staff will jointly coach the national football team.

Hearing this decision, everyone in the audience was shocked. They all set their eyes on Qi Missheng, but Qi Missheng was like a vegetative person, without saying a word, and there was no expression on his face.

The appearance of two generals in an army has been a taboo for soldiers since ancient times. But the parties did not object, and the others were even less silent.

In fact, Qi Miaosheng himself knows that this is the Football Association giving himself face and the face of the Asian Cup champion.

On the surface, it sounds good, but the Chinese coaching staff and the foreign coaching staff jointly coach the national football team. But in fact, his subordinates Gu Mingchang, Sun Wenxin and Chen Xirong are all on Ladd's side.

Although he is nominally the head coach of the Chinese coaching staff, he is actually a bare-bones commander.

Knowing the stakes, he could only breathe a sigh of relief in the middle of the night, and secretly create and make people.

Before everyone digested the matter of "the champion was cut from power", Yuan Weimin threw another bombshell.

"Starting from the beginning of spring next year, the 12-minute test of spring training will be canceled, and the 10,000-meter run will be canceled. The fitness test for football players has been replaced by the newly introduced YOYO test. ”

"What? The 12-minute run is cancelled? ”

"Don't run 10,000 meters anymore?"

"Got a new test?"

Everyone in the audience was stunned, and some officials who were close to the owner of a club in a certain place were eager to immediately throw the documents in front of them in the air to celebrate. Some media outlets also started calling privately to get the message across.

It doesn't matter what the new test is, as long as you don't run for 12 minutes, as long as you don't run 10,000 meters, anything!

A 12-minute run is a nightmare, a mountain that weighs on the athletes' hearts. Every year during spring training, there are always a few guys who play well, but can't test the guys are eliminated.

Just when everyone praised the drummer of the Football Association's "humane" proposal, the representative of the Wuhan Sports Bureau raised his hand and asked: "Chairman Yuan, can you explain in layman's terms, what is this YOYO test?" ”

Yuan Weimin put his hands behind his back, glanced at everyone in the audience with a proud face, and said casually: "Regarding the specific content of the YOYO test, after the meeting, the Football Association will send a simple text explanation to everyone present and media reporters. As for the specifics, I can tell you about them in advance. ”

Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears.

Changing the criteria for athlete testing is a big deal. If the Football Association comes up with a new moth, then they will approve it directly.

"We used to run in 12 minutes, and it was 3,200 meters. Since football is not the same as running a marathon, we have adopted the more advanced YOYO test. ”

"This YOYO test is actually a switchback run."

Hearing the words "switchback running", everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief, at least this project will definitely not be as torturous as long-distance running. In their opinion, this YOYO test should be an optimized version of the previous 5X25 switchback run. Either way, as long as you don't run long.

"May I ask Chairman Yuan, how long is this switchback run?" Someone raised his hand and asked.

"Oh, the distance, it's not long, it's not long." Yuan Weimin waved his hand as if he didn't understand, "It's only 20 meters." ”

"What? 20 meters? Hearing this number, the audience exploded again.

Good guys, it's shorter than 25 meters!

Looking at the whispering and happy crowd in the audience, the corners of Yuan Weimin's mouth turned up, and he smiled: "In this case, we will decide?" ”

"It's decided!"

"It's decided!"

Seeing that the unanimous vote passed again, Yuan Weimin was happy in his heart, but he still deliberately put on a straight face, pretending to be deep and said: "This is what you agreed, and I can't pass the test in the future, don't blame our Football Association for not paying attention to feelings!" ”
