In the past few days at the end of January, domestic fans have been paying attention to a news, that is, what kind of excellent performance the national Olympic team led by Zhu Quang Hu will have in Vietnam.

The Dunhill Cup is a competition sponsored by Dunhill Tobacco to promote football in Southeast Asia. This year, the second Dunhill Cup officially kicked off in Vietnam, and the national Olympic team represented the national football team in the United States for 20 days.

Since returning from Brazil, Zhu Guanghu has naturally taken over as the head coach of the National Olympic team, and the National Olympic team under his command is basically formed by most of the original Jianlibao team.

It's a pity that whether it is this training camp in the United States or the conquest of Vietnam, the team led by Zhu Guang is at best the "second team of the National Olympic Games", and some players are temporarily transferred.

Especially when Liaozu took away a large number of young rookies, many fans found out that even though Liaozu has been dormant in League B for three years, Liaoning Province still sends a large number of talents to the national team.

Li Tie, Li Jinyu, Wang Liang, Zhang Yuxuan, Zhao Junzhen, Li Yi, Xu Liang, Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi A total of nine main players are absent, and the two National Olympic generals and Ou Chuliang also refused to participate in the Dunhill Cup in Milan, Sun Jihai and Zhang Ran also did not return to the team overseas, and the current National Olympic Games led by Zhu Guanghu are basically won by Zhang Xiaorui alone, and others such as Li Jian, Tao Wei, Hao Wei, Sui Dongliang, Zhang Yonghai and others are either substitutes or reserves.

Those players who did not participate in Dunhill have their own futures, and Zhang Xiaorui and others also see this cup as their "comeback" battle.

Especially Zhang Xiaorui, after his leg injury was healed, he worked hard in Tianjin TEDA for a year, not only succeeded in rushing A as the first in A B, but also was second only to Zhang Yuli in the scorer list.

However, in the just-concluded first round, facing the old enemy Taiji Tiger South Korea, although the "National Olympic Second Team" showed enough strength to defeat the opponent, it still lost with a score of 1-2 in the end.

When the news came, while the fans lamented the "fear of Korea", Zhu Guanghu himself did not react much.

"It's just a practice match." After the game, Zhu Guanghu said lightly, "Everyone knows that this is not the real strength of the Chinese Olympic Games, and even from the perspective of the national team, this team is not even as strong as the Asian Games last year, and it can be called the third and fourth teams of the national football team!" ”

"I expected such a result, but I underestimated the fans' determination and hope for Shenghan, and I would like to say sorry here."

"We will do our best to win in the next games, but again, this competition is mainly about training, and it is also a test for these young players."

'We even have a whole team out there and we don't have a team, so it's an opportunity and a challenge for the players in the current team.

'It's up to them whether they can take their chances or not, the Football Association and their former team-mates have already given them opportunities.'

"I hope that in the next games, the fans will be more tolerant and considerate of the players, and don't put too much pressure on the players. When the players are relaxed, the results will naturally improve. ”

Zhu Guanghu's words were light, and it seemed that he had completely taken himself out, and he didn't even intend to take responsibility for the game at all.

The fans just wanted to call or write a letter to complain, but when their heads calmed down and thought again, Zhu Guanghu was indeed right.

Vietnam's national Olympic team is basically a substitute + reserve for the National Olympic Games, Dunhill is not an Olympic qualifier, and the Chinese team has won the first Dunhill Cup last year, which is currently ranked 14th in the world, for the Chinese team, which is currently ranked 14th in the world, it is enough to use this kind of competition as a reserve team training.

Anyway, it's military training, so let those kids make trouble! Think about it, they are quite pitiful, most of them can't even mix up as substitutes, and finally get a chance to fight for the country, so let them perform by themselves!

Domestic fans were relieved, but South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported on the game: "The victory of the South Korean Olympic team cleansed the shame of the Asian Games." ”

In the just-concluded Asian Games, the South Korean team did not even reach the quarterfinals; But this time Dunhill defeated the Chinese team in the first round, which is enough to show that the South Korean team is "ashamed".

“... Coach Xu Dingmao took the lead based on the 343 formation, changed the formation to 352 in the second half to slow down the tempo, and achieved full control in the game. ”

"Although the Chinese team pulled a goal back in the second half, it was still not enough to change the game."

"In the end, the South Korean Olympic team won the first victory with a score of 2-1, maintaining the absolute advantage of 14 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss in the South Korean and Chinese national team level..."

Although the mainstream media in China will not mention these at all, netizens who are accustomed to surfing the Internet have seen the report of this article in the reprint below Jianghu-Football Network.

One by one, the fans were filled with righteous indignation, shouting that they would give the South Korean team a good look in the Olympic qualifiers.

"Mother's stinky stick, don't hit the house for three days? When our main force comes back, it will definitely beat you up! ”

"yes, either pray that we don't run into us in the draw, or we don't want to qualify!"

"The National Olympic team is competitive! Although it is a substitute, it is also Jianlibao after all! Come on, big guys, try to make it all the way to the finals and see if they have the ability to meet in the finals! ”

For a while, fans with conditions at home even went over the wall to the websites of neighboring countries to make a fuss.

It's no wonder that the fans are so excited, the hat of "Korean-phobic" has indeed been a bit big over the years, and it has not been able to take it off.

Although the Chinese team has entered the World Cup in the past two years and won so many championships, the problem of "not winning in the face of South Korea" has not been resolved.

First, except for the 96 Olympic Games qualifiers, the Chinese team has not officially played against the South Korean team in the competition; Second, in the past two years, the China-South Korea confrontation and the China-Japan-South Korea three-country competition have been used by the Chinese team for military training.

So after Dunhill lost again this time, the fans really couldn't control their tempers.

After paying attention to the international arena, the domestic A-A is also experiencing transformation.

First, Coca-Cola withdrew from the competition, and the naming rights of 99-00 A were won by Pepsi; Then the Football Association and CCTV broke the news at the same time, starting from this year, CCTV TV no longer has the exclusive broadcasting rights of AA.

Wang Junsheng spoke: The Football Association will open up a wide range of channels, with the focus on China Education Television.

"Sports Weekly" said: In 1999, China's sports including football TV broadcast rights will enter the era of commodities in an all-round way, and the era of monopoly by one or a few TV stations may come to an end.

"Football News" reported that although the Chinese Football Association has not officially announced the commercial operation agreement of the professional league for the next five years, according to authoritative sources, the Chinese Football Association and the International Management Group (IMG) have renewed the professional league operation agreement for five years.

According to the agreement between the Chinese Football Association and IMG, IMG bought the operating rights of the 1999 China A Professional League at a price of 90 million yuan, of which 45 million yuan was the naming rights of the A League and 45 million yuan was the venue advertising (20 advertisements per venue). This price is about eight times the price of the 1994 contract between the Chinese Football Association and IMG ($1.25 million per year).

And some reporters estimated that the total broadcast fee in 99 years can exceed 5000W yuan, and after the broadcast rights are delegated under the suggestion of Liaozu, it will only be 300W yuan for each A A team. Although it is not a big number, these three million are tantamount to a relief in the snow for a football club that has been crying out for survival difficulties.

Some experts pointed out that TV broadcast fees will become one of the important incomes of Chinese football clubs, and it is only a matter of time before the monopoly of special industries is broken.

Either way, fans are looking forward to the new season. Haigeng spring training is coming to an end, and most clubs are all passing through the body. The few players who didn't pass the side were also marginalized players in the team.

Each club recruited and signed one foreigner after another in Haigeng to supplement the strength of the team.

At the same time, he also hired a large number of foreign coaches, so that local coaches like Xu Hebao even said that they wanted to break their wrists with foreign coaches.

Despite this, some experts still posted that with the development of the league and the stability of the team, it is almost impossible to repeat the phenomenon of mass coach changes like this year. When a club finds a suitable coach for the team, the cooperation period between the two parties will be extended and there will be no more changes of coach once a year.

While fans expect the home team to play a good result, many fans also expect a club to stand up and break Wanda's monopoly on the championship.

At present, the highest voice is naturally in Milan, where winter training has not returned.

Not to mention that this Liaozu team includes most of the main players of the National Olympic Games, and also went to Italy to learn "advanced technology", and when he comes back, he will definitely come up with something that other teams are difficult to parry.

And compared with Dalian, Liaozu is no worse than the "sworn enemy of the same province" in terms of the quality of the consortium behind it or the source of life. And Liaozu is a national powerhouse, and the aftermath of the ten championships is still there, and even Wanda has to deal with it carefully.

Although some experts speculate that this team will lag behind due to recklessness and lack of experience based on the average age of the Liaoning football players, there are still many fans who are optimistic about this club that is stereotyped as a football team in Liaoning Province, and expect it to blow a storm of youth in the new year's A season.

As for experience and other issues, other teams can buy foreign aid in Haigeng, can't Liaozu buy it directly in Italy?

When the time comes, bring back a few Italians, and those A clubs can only be envious.

There are those who bring back and those who go out, and this winter there are Liaozu who take the lead, and many players are also looking for opportunities to go out. People like Zhou Xi, Xie Hui and others are also in contact with Schlapner and going to the Bundesliga for trial. For a while, the domestic strength of the two parties led by the Schlapner family and Liaozu began to "compete", and under the comparison of those who have a heart, see which side has the better player.

Of course, in terms of player output, the most concerned by fans is Liaozu.

A few days ago, Zhang Yuli signed a contract with Deportivo La Coruna, which has caused a small vibration in China.

The value of 150W Europe entered La Liga, although he was first loaned back to Liaozu for a year because of language and other relations, but with Sun Jihai's excellent performance in the Premier League, people are also looking forward to Zhang Yuxi's performance in La Liga.

Then Li Weifeng transferred to the Portuguese Super League Porto at a value of 100W euros, most of the fans' impression of this young player is still in the Jianlibao era, although Li Weifeng is stronger than Sun Jihai in all aspects of physical fitness, but after comparing the two, no one thinks that Li Weifeng is stronger than Sun Jihai.

The reason for this is also very simple, Sun Jihai is a good player on the right side, he can play on one side, and he can attack and defend; Although Li Weifeng is a piece of jade, it has not yet been carved. Aside from being a centre-back, he hasn't been very good in other positions. And Sun Jihai has several years of league experience and rich practical experience, even if he arrives in the Premier League, he can quickly adapt to it; Although Li Weifeng is fluent in Portuguese, he inevitably sat up from the bench due to his lack of competition experience.

But even so, fans have high expectations for the rising star. After all, Li Weifeng is still young, and his national football road is still long!

As for Li Jinyu, it is a little regrettable. Liaozu didn't negotiate with Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille in the end, so the transfer of Li Jinyu was temporarily put on hold and could only be discussed in the middle of the year, which disappointed the fans who loved him for a while.

Zheng Zhi was lucky, PSV Eindhoven agreed to buy him at a price of 70W euros, although the price was cheaper, but compared to the former's 20% re-transfer fee, Zheng Zhi even increased the proportion to 25%!

The most interesting thing in Liaozu is naturally Li Tie.

When it was rumored that Milan bought Li Tie with 200W Ou, many fans in China even set off artillery battles on the street.

"Okay, okay, the iron is finally out of the mix!"

"The Iron Tree Blossoms, the Iron Tree Blossoms! We have players joining the giants of the four major leagues! ”

"Haha, Tiezi joins, Ou Chuliang will never be alone again! The two Jianlibao capable players will meet in Milan, tsk, I will watch Milan in the second half of Serie A, and no one will watch it! ”

A few days after Li Tie settled in Milan, before the freshness of the fans passed, the "Beijing Morning News" broke the news that Beijing Guoan negotiated a loan of 35W euros to Milan.

As soon as the news came out, fans across the country exploded again.

"? What's the situation? Milan took us alone again? ”

"Counseling? Is it the one who has never been able to play in Guoan? ”

"Stop! If he can't play in Guoan, that's Guoan's business, and he is fierce in the national team! The World Youth Championships, the World Preliminaries and this Asian Games, which performance is not outstanding? ”

"He is not only the top scorer of the Asian Games, but also the world junior champion! What qualifications do you say you can't go to Milan? ”

"Tut-tut, don't say it, this Milan has become a transfer paradise for Chinese players! Won't there be a large number of players going to Serie A in the middle of the year? ”

"Now Milan has... There are three Chinese players? This... Isn't this the Chinese Three Heroes? ”

"That's right, the Chinese Three Heroes!"

"Good guy, Ou Chuliang-Li Tie-discussed, the central axis has come out, let's not break into the roll call this time, it's really impossible to say!"

"No matter what, now there are three Chinese players in Milan, Milan is my home team, and I will never change it again, hahahahaha!"

Two consecutive Chinese players stayed in Milan, which not only made domestic fans look forward to it, but also detonated other "little partners" in Asia.

Especially in Japan, after Miura Chira, Nakata Hidetoshi and Maezono Maisei, Masayuki Okano (Ajax II), Hiroshi Naba (Marseille), Noho Kawaguchi (Parma) and Toshihide Saito (Chelsea) have all spent a trial in Europe this winter.

Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" reported: "Japanese football cannot be left behind, and Hidetoshi Nakata needs more capable teammates!" ”

"China already has nearly 10 players playing in major European leagues, Japan can't fall too far behind, we must catch up!"

......

Early that morning, Ou Chuliang was still washing in the bathroom, wearing a pair of big flower pants, bare feet, and running in from the door quickly with slippers.

"Brother Ou, Brother Ou! Look, FIFA sent you something! ”

"What did you send?" Hearing that it was a letter from FIFA, Li Tie was also full of curiosity.

"I'll look at it, I'll see, there's a letter in there, and it says... Wow! Wow wow wow!! Wow! Brother Ou, you are amazing! ”

"Don't just wow, what's in the letter?" Li Tie was in a hurry.

"Hmph, I won't show you, I'll show Brother Ou!"

The discussion pursed his lips, as if he wanted to sprinkle all the anger that Ou Chuliang had slept in Li Tie's room last night.

"Xiao Yi, what is written on it?" Ou Chuliang asked after rinsing his mouth.

"Come, Brother Ou, you lower your head, lower your head!"

The discussion played a dumb riddle and urged vigorously.

Ou Chuliang was helpless, and as soon as his head was stretched, something more appeared on his neck.

Looking at the golden medallion, Ou Chu said curiously: "What is this?" ”

"Asia's Greatest Player Award! Hahaha, Ou Ge is the greatest star in Asia! ”

After taking the letter and reading it, Ou Chuliang realized that after FIFA announced that Ronaldo would become the World Footballer of the Year a few days ago, FIFA held the annual meeting of the International Football History and Statistics Association in Rothenburg, Germany. At the meeting, Lippi, the head coach of the Italian team Juventus, was elected as the best club coach in 1998; France's Jacques was voted the best national team coach in 1998.

Jacques won the World Cup and was rightly chosen, with only Croatia coach Blazevic competing at national team level. At club level, although Juve won the Serie A title last season, they lost to Heynckes' Real Madrid in the Champions League. You must know that before Lippi was elected, Heynckes was the most vocal.

As for the Ochulian award, FIFA selects the greatest stars from each continent based on the historical achievements of the national team.

In the end, Cruyff was elected for Europe, Pele for South America, Weah for Africa, Sanchez for North and Central America, Ruff for Oceania, and Asia for China and Serie A newcomer Ou Chuliang.

As a result, although Ou Chuliang was not selected in the World Footballer of the Year and Best Player awards, he added another "Asia's Greatest Player" to his personal honor book.
