Chapter 236: Oriental Mythology
The news of winning the World Youth Championships came back to China, blowing up the media and fans.
This... This is indeed a king bomb!
Champion? Who can stand this!
Those fans who have been paying attention to the national team didn't react for a while, how did this little doll of the youth team go out and win the world championship?
Domestic newspapers led by "Sports Weekly" reported on the victory of the Jianlibao youth team, and they said, "When you see the championship trophy, you know how successful Jianlibao is." ”
The championship trophy is the best proof of this, when those "reactionaries" look at the golden medals and shining trophies, one by one they turn the wind and tout it.
For a while, the streets and alleys were talking about this championship. There are even many fans jokingly: "It's better to let this Jianlibao team play in the top ten, and go directly to the World Cup after the top ten match appears!" ”
Compared with the incredibleness of domestic fans, the international response is even more violent.
Almost all the media marveled at China's dark horse, and before the start of the World Youth Championships, no media organization thought that the Chinese youth team would be black to the end.
"Kicker" reported: This is an even more fantastic World Youth Championship than a Danish fairy tale, a group of unknown teenagers from the East, all the way through the test, actually jumped to become world champions!
"Milan Sports Newspaper" described the victory of the Chinese youth team as an "oriental myth", and there was no call-up before the game. No one was surprised when the World Youth Championship champions, who had been dominated by South American teams for many years, suddenly became an Asian team.
The "South American style" of the youth team and the physical collision shown in the last game made those European media praise a lot. At this time, it is not advisable for the mainstream of European football to completely replicate the "South American style". Even the managers of some clubs have studied how to "speed up" the pace of the game while borrowing from the delicate style of play in South America.
Jianlibao provided a new idea for many football coaches in the final final, how to combine delicate South American football with tall Nordic physique, which has become the topic of countless coaches in Europe for a while.
The combination of strength and technique is the only way to play the perfect football.
Compared with the European media, there are some objections in the local newspapers in Argentina.
Some media believe that the youth team plundered the championship belonging to Argentina in a barbaric way in the final final, which is a kind of arrogance from a backward region, and it is not a gentleman's act at all.
But this argument only exists in the mouths of some extreme fans, such as Argentina's "Ole" newspaper turned up Jianlibao's friendly match experience when he was studying in Brazil, and they cited Jianlibao's various cup victories as an example, this team from Asia has a lot of experience against South American teams.
They know when to play against you and when to use their bodies to help the team gain the upper hand. This team that has been formed since childhood and has been a team of hundreds of players has not only absorbed the South American style of football since arriving in Brazil, but also added some elements of its own, such as the dexterity and delicate coordination of Asians, and the reasonable collision of Europeans.
In this era of globalization, only a mixture of strengths and strengths is the king of development.
Since the Chinese youth team eliminated France to enter the semi-finals, almost all fans who came to Malaysia to watch the game bought the Chinese team to win the championship.
When the youth team really lifted the championship trophy, those fans really experienced double happiness.
Among them, the one who made the most money was my grandson Chen Tang, whose 1,000 yuan Ma B immediately increased more than a hundred times. Although this Japanese teenager is not short of money, he is still proud of the first pot of gold he earned.
"Everything I have is what Ossang brought me...", years later, when my grandson Chen Tang became one of the richest people in East Asia, his pride in front of the media was palpable.
For a long time, a very important reason why the World Youth Championship has been "dominated" by South American teams is that if poor South American players want to develop in European football, the best stage to show is the World Youth Championship.
And every year, there are indeed many European scouts who pick the players they think are the most satisfying in the World Youth Championships, and then use capital to bring them to Europe.
But this year's World Youth Championships had some "episodes".
The victory of Jianlibao youth team is unmatched by other teams, and Jianlibao is from Asia, from a country where football is very "backward".
Although the country also has professional leagues, this team does not belong to any side, they are more like an "army".
In the past, international football competitions did not involve no country sending troops and teams to participate in the competition. But at that time there was almost no talk of a "transfer".
Especially after the passage of the Boseman Act, transfers between European teams have become more frequent. Each team tries to mix their strengths in the transfer market as much as possible, fleshing out the squad with as many players as possible.
Now, under this "free capitalist" economic market, an "imperialist" team has been "mixed" and even won the championship.
This in itself is something that capital cannot tolerate.
We have to be desperate to let the "best" get "free"!
As a result, under the public opinion dominated by the Western media, a "wind of freedom" blew into the country for the first time.
"Should Jianlibao team members go to stay abroad"
"The Serie A team fell in love with Li Jinyu"
"Zhang Xiaorui or move to the Bundesliga"
"Little World Cup, the best football stage"
A series of "democratic" newspapers like this frequently published news about the future of the Jianlibao team, supplemented by the example of the defeat to Argentina in the final, and collectively "suggested" that Jianlibao was no longer suitable to study in Brazil as an integrated team.
In fact, this is just a ploy by European clubs who want to "carve up" Jianlibao's young players.
"We have surpassed the strongest hegemon in South America, there is no need to learn South American style again!"
These arguments put forward by the news media who won the World Youth Championships this year are quite shadowy of the previous Great Leap J. Many media outlets immediately countered it, saying that it was not good to "take too big a step and pull the egg up".
For a time, the media representing the new forces of "democracy and freedom" kept preaching how fresh the air was outside; The media of the old forces, which represent the "conservative and backward", suggested that the overall establishment should be retained and that it should not be disturbed by the outside world.
The media, representing the two extremes, quarreled all over the world, but the final verdict had to fall on the Football Association.
Since reaching the round of 16 in this World Youth Championship, the Football Association has begun to put the issue of player transfer on the charter. But no one expected that the results of the team members in the end were so good that they brought a king back!
Such "happy troubles" caught the Football Association off guard, but the wood was already in the boat, and it could only be supplemented by the warmest welcome ceremony on the day of Jianlibao's return to China, to welcome the World Youth athletes back to China.
In fact, Wang Junsheng, who is working overtime these days, is gradually fulfilling the promise made by Vice Chairman Xu to Ou Chuliang: You just play hard for the results, and all the miscellaneous logistics affairs will be handled by the Football Association for you!
In this way, all the Football Association officials almost wore two thick dark circles under their eyes on the day of pick-up.
"Lao Yan, when these boys went out with a team, who would have thought that they would be able to win a world championship for us today!" Looking at the Jianlibao boy who walked down from the plane, Wang Junsheng sighed.
"Yes, but from the current point of view, our Football Association can't keep up with the pace of other dolls! The young people have brought back the championship trophy, but we, the 'logistics ministers', are still discussing the transfer of players for a long time. It seems that we are outdated! "There are a lot of eye droppings, and I am full of emotion.
At present, he is only the vice president of the Football Association, and his ability to work can still be affirmed without having to take the helm and control the direction of football development and political struggles.
The two sighed and fell into deep thought again.
It wasn't until he took Jianlibao to walk on the bus in the long line of celebrations composed of two rows of female college students that Wang Junsheng thought about it. Since you can't think of a clue, why don't you go to an old friend's house?
Although Vice President Xu has been at home all year round, he has a wealth of means to deal with international affairs in the AFC. In addition, I have been busy with work during this time, so it is better to change my mind and listen to what suggestions Vice Chairman Xu, an "outsider", has.
July 7, Beijing.
After holding the celebration dinner for winning the championship, Wang Junsheng took Ou Chuliang to the outside of the hotel to breathe.
"Chu Liang, what are your plans next?"
Ou Chuliang took out the Shunlai lighter on the hotel table and lit it for the Huazi in Wang Junsheng's mouth.
Suck~~~
Call~~~
After Wang Junsheng's lungs were satisfied with a brief stimulation of tobacco, the whole person was also refreshed.
"Uncle Wang, I don't have any plans at the moment." Ou Chuliang replied honestly, "The top ten match is about to start, and I think it is most important to be more comfortable with my teammates in the national team. ”
"Although we won the World Youth Championship, from the perspective of the long-term football road, the World Youth Championship is only a phased goal, and cannot be used as the end of the struggle."
"Chu Liang, you're right." Wang Junsheng spat out a puff of light cigarette and nodded with satisfaction, "Our goal is the World Cup, which is the most important thing." But Chu Liang, there is one thing you have forgotten. ”
"What is it?" Ou Chu is a good way.
"Although our goal is the World Cup, this World Cup is not so important to you." Wang Junsheng stepped forward and patted Ou Chuliang on the shoulder.
"Uncle Wang, I don't understand what you mean." Ou Chuliang looked puzzled.
"Chu Liang, do you remember the original intention of Jianlibao to build the team?"
"The original intention? Of course I do! Ou Chuliang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"It's good to remember, it's good to remember. So it's good to be able to get into this World Cup, and it's not a big deal if you can't get in. Uncle Wang and your Uncle Xu are not old, this pressure can still be beared, you don't have to worry too much. ”
"You're still young, to put it mildly, you players haven't fully grown yet, so there's no need to work so the senior team."
"So I hope that you can learn as much knowledge and skills as possible when you are young, and when you really become the backbone, you can carry the responsibility of the national team on your shoulders and pass it on. Do you understand what I'm talking about? ”
"I understand." Ou Chuliang said seriously.
In the final analysis, the Jianlibao of the 77th and 78th sessions was built for the 00 Olympic Games and the 02 World Cup, and when the 06 World Cup was held, it had to play a role in connecting the previous and the next. There are more than 20 of these talents in total, and no more than half of them can be selected for the national team in the end.
To put it mildly, it is likely to be "use one, scrap one, and one less".
Just like Hao Wei, although he won the World Youth Championship with the team this time. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that no matter how hard he works in the future, his achievements will be limited to a height that is within the reach of the naked eye because of his physical health.
He can "fight hard" in the youth army at a young age, but as he becomes an adult, as his physical function declines, the gap between him and other healthy players will gradually become apparent, and even leak out of time.
Therefore, although the restructuring of this World Cup is a godsend for the Chinese team in Asia, the Football Association led by Yuan Weimin still does not want Jianlibao to "take risks" too early.
Even if Li Tie and others are recruited into the team, it is just to add some major tournament experience to these players in advance.
From the perspective of leadership, safe and healthy growth is more important than anything else.
But then again, even if there is no constraint on the national team competition, can it be safe to let all these young players stay in Europe?
In the eyes of Yuan Weimin, Wang Junsheng and others, the danger of doing so is even greater.
To say a bad thing in private, instead of letting these young players be scrapped in foreign clubs, it is better to let them "fold" on the field of fighting for the country, so that they can end up with a good reputation.
Because of such and such contradictions, when the Chinese youth team returned from winning the championship trophy, the Football Association has not yet decided on a single tone.
Today, Wang Junsheng brought Ou Chuliang out to ask him what he thought. After all, judging from the data and reports of the Football Association, Ou Chuliang, as the captain of Jianlibao, is the "most sought-after".
But the position of goalkeeper is very special, and Wang Junsheng was a little undecided for a while, and even abstained from voting in the last few meetings.
Looking at Ou Chuliang, who was extremely sensible in front of him, Wang Junsheng really didn't dare to think that one day, he suddenly received a call from the local embassy of Ou Chuliang's club, saying that Ou Chuliang had bid farewell to his football career because of some very serious injury and needed to be extradited back to China.
If that result really happens, Wang Junsheng is afraid that he will not be able to sleep well for the rest of his life.
Looking at Wang Junsheng's tangled expression, Ou Chuliang also guessed a rough idea.
"Uncle Wang, what did Uncle Xu say about this?"
"It's been too busy for this time, and I haven't gone to see Lao Xu yet." Wang Junsheng replied casually. Then I felt my fingers burn, and when I looked down, there was only a cigarette butt left in the whole Huazi.
"Hey! When I have time over the weekend, I'll go to Lao Xu's house to see you two. When you return to China this time, aren't you also temporarily staying at Lao Xu's house?"
"Hmm."
"That's fine, just for the weekend. You and Lao Xu said, I'll go to his house for a meal. Tut-tut, it's been a long time since I've eaten my brother and sister's hand-rolled noodles, and I'm hungry when I think about it. ”
