"Have you read the report? I heard that the club is going to pack three young players from Barcelona? ”

"There's a guy I know, Messi."

'Last year Barcelona had a friendly against our Dutch youth team and the guy was so fierce that he dribbled the ball all the way through us from midfield and no one could stop him. Robben chatted with Ronaldo about Messi on the training ground.

"Are your people just standing there and letting him pass? If you can't pull it, can't you prevent shoveling? Xiao Xiao Luo scoffed, not believing that such an awesome guy existed.

Robben shook his head, "I can't pull it, I can't shovel it, he's too fast, like a loach." It's also small, and the frequency is fast, and it's simply non-human. God, if you see him dribbling, you're going to be crazy, you don't even know what he is. ”

"Is it really that strong? I think your teammates are too bad. Xiao Xiao Luo still didn't believe it.

"Poor? We are the Dutch national youth team, do you Portugal national youth team dare to say that they are better than us? You can't beat us! Robben was very unhappy with Xiao Xiaoluo's statement.

"That's not necessarily, we haven't met, and if we do, I don't think we in Portugal will lose to you." Xiao Xiao Luo is also very stubborn.

"Well, one day, we'll see each other in the World Cup, and we'll know the result then."

"You two don't get too far, let's have the best rookie first!" Zheng Zhi didn't know when he was standing behind them.

"Do you know who the Rookie of the Year is for?"

"Ade?" Xiao Xiao Luo blurted out.

"Yes, he lost to Kaka the year before last, and this year it's his turn." Zheng Zhi nodded and said earnestly.

"I hope to be one of you next year, and of course, you may not be in Serie A next summer."

Although Serie A seems to be on the decline, young players are still emerging. If Messi and the others come again, Inter Milan will become the talent pool of European football in the future......

"Boss, are you the best foreign aid again?" Robben asked.

"I guess so, the organizing committee has already called me to attend the award ceremony this afternoon......"

If you win it again, it will be the second year in a row.

"What is the best foreign player? The boss is definitely the best player as well. Xiao Xiao Luo added.

"yes, boss."

"It seems to be...... Zheng Zhi nodded again, this kind of small award, in fact, is about to be soft, whether it is in the Bundesliga or Serie A, after the end of this season, he even came up with the idea of going to another league.

It's just that if Messi and they can really join the national Milan, his idea will be shaken again, and he will play with the most awesome guys in the future, isn't it fragrant?

Let's take a look again......

It was at this time that Inter Milan's assistant coach, the bald Faria, walked up to them.

"Ronaldo,"

"The club has received a fax and the Portuguese national team has sent you a call-up. You will need to reply and confirm in person. ”

"What?"

Little Luo and Robben spoke almost in unison. I didn't expect that the former was ecstatic, and the latter was a little envious and jealous? Because the Dutch national team did not send him a call-up.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Ronaldo, this time you're going to be the hospital for the Portuguese national team, it's amazing." Zheng Zhi patted Xiao Xiaoluo's shoulder, "Playing for the country at the age of 17 is not something ordinary people can do, which means that you have the opportunity to participate in the 2004 European Cup, and during this period, don't fall behind." ”

"Alger, you're coming soon, I'm sure your Dutch national team manager won't forget your presence, as long as you continue to perform well, it won't be long before you get a call-up."

"Ronaldo, why don't you hurry up and deal with it?" Zheng Zhi pushed Xiao Xiaoluo, who was still in a state of confusion and surprise.

"Ah, of course I go!" Little Luo Fei ran away......

During the international break, club competitions are suspended, and countries around the world are basically playing friendly matches or qualifiers. However, Zheng Zhi did not return to China to compete, he had an agreement with the Football Association that he would not be recruited for ordinary friendly matches & qualifiers, and he would not return unless the Chinese team was in big trouble.

This approach has many advantages, one is to allow the team to adapt to the style of play without Zheng Zhi, the second is to allow Chen Tao or Qi Hong and others to be trained, and the third is to reduce the fatigue of Zheng Zhi's journey.

Zheng Zhi is not the only one who enjoys such privileges, but under his persuasion, other players in Europe such as Fan Zhiyi, Sun Jihai and Yang Chen also enjoy such treatment, and players can choose whether to represent the national team or not.

The European legion is strong enough, but the players who play in China also need to be trained, right? This definitely outweighs the disadvantages.

Not only in the national team, but also in the youth team, there should be some changes, such as Dong Fangzhuo in the Inter Milan academy, they will never be able to return to China to participate in any National Games and other competitions, which is simply destroying the players.

Take Dong Fangzhuo as an example, Dong Fangzhuo is now mixing well in the Inter Milan academy, although he is not a member of the real Inter Milan academy, but he has received the attention of many clubs, and it is said that several clubs are playing Dong Fangzhuo's idea, including Manchester United.

The story with Manchester United seems to start early, Manchester United officials came to Milan to inquire about Xiao Xiaoluo's news, but after visiting the Inter Milan academy, they found Dong Fangzhuo.

Then they asked Dong Fangzhuo about the situation by the way, and learned that Dong Fangzhuo did not actually belong to Inter Milan, but to the football school opened by Zheng Zhi.

In other words, Zheng Zhi is the real boss of Dong Fangzhuo, and Manchester United wants to get Dong Fangzhuo? You have to ask Zheng Zhi.

Of course, Zheng Zhi will not come forward, and that is a problem for Wu Di and the football school to deal with.

Of course, everyone is very happy to be favored by Manchester United. Dong Fangzhuo is only 17 years old, not yet 18 years old, and his future is immeasurable.

Zheng Zhi is the most emotional one, if it is in the previous life, it is even more difficult to go to the UK to play, and the labor certificate can make the player stuck. And this life is much simpler, many players have benefited from the ranking of the Chinese team, which now has a high ranking of 22nd in world football and recently ranked 24th.

In 1999, the FA finalized the labour certification system, and in order to ensure the quality of the league and limit the number of foreign staff, the FA stipulated that players from non-EU countries who wanted to play in England must first apply for a labour certification, unless the player holds an EU passport. The conditions for applying are very strict, and the strict labor certification system has always been one of the guarantees of the quality of foreign aid in the Premier League, and the conditions for applying for labor certification are as follows:

1. Non-EU players, with a national team appearance rate of more than 75% in the last two years;

2. The FIFA ranking of the national team shall not be lower than 75;

3. The above conditions are not absolute and can be submitted to the arbitration tribunal of the Ministry of Labor for determination;

4. The labor certification is not once and for all, and there must be an audit every year, and the standard of the audit is the number of matches for the club, which must reach 80% of the total number of participants. The total number of games that can be participated in excludes the number of games that cannot be participated in due to injuries, suspensions and other factors;

5. Players who do not have a labor certificate are only not allowed to participate in official competitions (leagues, cups, European competitions), but can participate in reserve league matches, friendly matches, etc.

If Dong Fangzhuo wants to join Manchester United, then only the first one affects him.

Although Dong Fangzhuo has played a lot of games on behalf of the national youth team, this level of competition is not included in the terms of the labor certificate, so Dong Fangzhuo's joining Manchester United can only be a word, or encountered similar problems in the previous life, but the problem has become much simpler, because the first two conditions of the labor certificate are not sufficient and necessary, the super high ranking of the Chinese team will allow Dong Fangzhuo to benefit in the end, once Manchester United and the football school negotiate, maybe the transfer can be done immediately.

However, the news that Dong Fangzhuo may join Manchester United this time did not cause much sensation, after all, there are too many foreign countries or contacts with foreign clubs, and everyone is a little used to it.

For example, Feng Xiaoting, who is in the same academy as Dong Fangzhuo, has also had a long affair with Inter Milan and is likely to sign his first professional contract with Inter Milan.

There is also Zhao Xuri, Zhao Xuri heard that he was favored by the Munich 1860 in Germany, and they are continuing to investigate.

In short, the current Chinese football is thriving, and it has nothing to do with the decline......

※※※※

That night, Zheng Zhi attended the awards party.

In the selection of the best foreign player, Zheng Zhi defeated Juventus' Czech midfielder Nedved and Ronaldo, who has joined Real Madrid, to become the owner of this title, and the bigger award is that he also won the award of the best player in Serie A last season.

Another Inter Milan player, Gianluigi Buffon, won the award for best goalkeeper, and Adriano, who won the best rookie award, also belonged to Inter Milan, Adriano actually performed well a year ago, but AC Milan's Kaka was even better, and he delayed receiving the award a year later.

Coach Del Neri, who led Chievo to create a "dark horse miracle" last season, won the best coach award, Mourinho was not able to defend this honor, but Mourinho has nothing to be depressed about, this is just the best in Italy, he has won the best coach in Europe.

Despite Lazio's poor results last season, defender Nesta, who has now moved to AC Milan, still won the title of best defender.

In the selection of the most popular player, Baggio won this award, and last season it was Zheng Zhi who won this award, and Baggio's election is also a big irony of the Italian national team head coach Trapattoni. Because Trapattoni did not take Baggio to the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.

In addition, bald referee Colina won the award for the best referee, and 64-year-old coach Facchetti, who is now in charge of Serie B Vicenza, received the Lifetime Achievement Award.

※※※※

As soon as the award ceremony ended, the leaders of the Football Association called Zheng Zhi and congratulated him. On the other side of China, it's already the middle of the night, and it seems that the leaders are very attentive.

After the congratulations, the leaders of the Football Association asked Zheng Zhi a very serious question.

"The World Cup has been over for several months, and we are now going to determine the coach, everyone prefers to choose Zhu Guanghu, after all, Zhu Guanghu has been with Horton for four years, I don't know what your opinion is?"

I didn't expect the leader to ask his opinion, but this was really unexpected by Zheng Zhi, but it also shows that the leader's brain has become smarter, not to say whether it is a sincere question or a false mention, at least on the surface.

But Zheng Zhi's attitude towards this choice is very clear, although Zhu Guanghu is one of his mentors......

Zhu Guanghu to lead the national football team? It really doesn't work! will be played to death by Zhu Guanghu.

"Coach Zhu is my mentor, and he is very good."

"But...... I also have to be honest to say that this is not a good choice, or a lower choice, although Zhu has been with Horton for four years, and the business level has definitely improved a lot, but we have to figure out that we are the third place in the World Cup. We need a quality manager to continue to lead the team forward, not just at a normal level. ”

"Then we need a manager who can identify new players and develop young players."

"So the manager has to be from Europe, he can't be world-famous, but he must be respected in the circle."

Zheng Zhi said a lot in one breath, anyway, he denied his mentor Zhu Guanghu, if Zhu Guanghu knew that Zheng Zhi would be the first to veto him, I don't know if he would chop him with a pig-killing knife......

"This ...... What you say makes sense, so do you have the right person? The leader of the Football Association asked rhetorically.

Candidate?

Yes.

It's just that Zheng Zhi didn't blurt out, but pretended to think for a while.

"Crowchen,"

"I recommend Crowchen,"

"You should know Crouchen, right? I won't say much about his resume. ”

"I asked him to be the head coach of Inter Milan, but now I have an idea, he can be the head coach of the national team at the same time? The advantage of this is that when he is in charge of the national team, he also knows very well which young players we have, and he catches them at the same time, just like Horton did back then. ”

"The salary of the national team, let my team pay it."

"This ......"

"Your proposal is very good, I will hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss the feasibility of this approach."

Unexpectedly, the leader also affirmed Zheng Zhi's opinion, and immediately held a meeting to study and discuss.

"Is there anyone else?"

"Not for the time being, what I like is Crowford's development of young players, which is exactly what we need the most, and other coaches may not be able to do it."

"If so, maybe it's Horton?"

From this point of view, it is estimated that Zhu Guanghu's position as the head coach of the national team is basically cold......

Recently, Zhu Guanghu has been very high-spirited, just waiting for the appointment of the national team......
