The bell rings on New Year's Day, and 2004 unveils it to the world as a new year.

The year 2003 that has just passed was really too heavy for Chinese football.

The last generation of A-A is surrounded by all kinds of scandals all the time, which is suffocating.

Xiao Li Ming was suspected of match-fixing, Zhang Shuai was found to be taking banned drugs, Hongta withdrew from football, the military was disbanded on August 1st, the iron marshal Li Zhangzhu left China, and the famous Zhang Honggen died...... At the moment when the New Year's bell rings, the fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and they want to say goodbye to these unpleasant ones.

What does 2004 mean for Chinese football?

Huang Jianxiang asked casually.

The new colleagues are not drawn from other departments in the station, and programs such as football, the Premier League, and the Champions League require great professional skills from the hosts.

Even some commentators who often broadcast League A can't control the fierce Premier League.

After considering it at all levels, it took about half a year for Taili to hire an excellent football commentator from Singapore's ESPN as Huang Jianxiang's partner.

Zhan Jun lifted his glasses, he knew that this was Huang Jianxiang studying him.

Liverpool's game against Chelsea is just around the corner, and he doesn't mind letting his new colleagues get to know him a little better during this hour.

"I think the Super League is just a change of skin!" Zhan Jun's mouth was amazing.

"Oh? Why? "Huang Jianxiang came to be interested.

"A A has changed to the Chinese Super League, that is, the name has changed, but the domestic football pattern has not changed." Zhan Jun subconsciously pushed his glasses with his index finger, which was his signature move before analysis.

"Shanghai Shuangxiong and Dalian Shide stand on three legs, and the other heroes are separated."

"The two teams in Shanghai Tang have spent a lot of money on the introduction of domestic and foreign aid, and the two teams have won the championship and runner-up of the last generation of A."

"But it is undeniable that Dalian Shide is still the strongest club in China."

"With the thickness accumulated over the years, as long as Shide is dedicated to winning the championship, Shenhua and International are not Shide's opponents. And the gold content of the first Super League trophy is definitely very high, so I think Shide will not let go of this opportunity. ”

"I see!" Huang Jianxiang nodded, Zhan Jun's thoughts coincided with his.

It is said that this new colleague has been commenting on foreign sports events overseas, but he didn't expect him to pay attention to domestic football at all!

"What about the Olympics? I see that many fans are optimistic about the "Xiangfu", after all, this group of young people defeated the Korean team in the Asian Youth Championship. ”

"To be honest, I think Coach Shen has a heavy burden on his shoulders." Zhan Jun said again without thinking.

"I want to hear about it."

"Guoao has been divided into the death group this time, and it is not human to kill the born heaven!" Zhan Jun was speechless again.

"Human?" Huang Jianxiang frowned.

That's a bit of a fantasy.

"That's right!" Speaking of the current situation of Chinese football, Zhan Jun is not too reckless.

"Last year, we played two games against Syria, and the national Olympic team won the game."

"Although this wave of young people has beaten the Korean team before, it was two or three years ago!"

"And among this group of young people, none of the national Olympic team stayed overseas. However, Park Ji-sung and others have already logged into the Eredivisie, and it is clear which is better and which is inferior. ”

"In this group stage, I would make a bold guess that this national Olympic team will beat South Korea 1-0 at home, and then draw away from home. In the next game, it is possible to qualify for Iran by killing Iran home and away, advance to Athens, and achieve a victorious escape. ”

"Indeed, such a difficulty is indeed difficult for a group of children!" Although Huang Jianxiang is a relatively "mean" football commentator in China, he still has a common problem like most Chinese people, he likes to be tolerant of "children" and strict with "adults".

"That's why I said that the National Olympics has nothing to do, except for the gods!"

"Divine soldiers descending from heaven?" Huang Jianxiang was immersed in the difficult journey of the National Olympics, and was reminded by Zhan Junyi and immediately woke up. "You mean..."

"That's right! In the National Olympic Games, we also have a player who stayed overseas. And compared to South Korea and Iran, his league level is higher, and his position is more important! Zhan Jun said this, his face full of red light.

"That's right! If Tang Wu can return to China to compete, the defense of the National Olympic Games will indeed be much more stable! "Huang Jianxiang has watched all of Tang Wu's games. In his heart, Tang Wu could almost even be compared to Paliuca and other door gods.

Speaking of this, the two old men who had lived for more than thirty years glanced at each other, and suddenly realized - it turns out that you are also a fan of Tang Wu!

"What about the national football team?" Huang Jianxiang continued to ask.

"The national football team has two major tasks this year!" Zhan Jun held up two fingers.

"In front of us is our local Asian Cup!"

"We've never won a championship, and our best result was the runner-up loss to Saudi Arabia in 1984."

"That's right, you remember it so well!" Huang Jianxiang nodded.

"This Asian Cup is held in our homeland, the time and place are favorable, and the three are one, and it is impossible not to win the championship!"

"Coupled with the fact that this group of national football teams has experienced the baptism of the 02 World Cup, they will be more experienced when facing the big competition."

Especially this is Hao Haidong's last Asian Cup, and he, the "No. 1 striker in Asia", will definitely fight to the death! ”

"Haha, that's right!" Huang Jianxiang clapped his hands and exclaimed, "By the way, Junzi, do you think Tang Wu is likely to be selected for the national football team?" ”

"It's not impossible!" Zhan Jun pushed his glasses, "As long as Tang Wu maintains his starting position at Chelsea, it will be a matter of time before the national football team recruits him!" ”

"Even if he doesn't help the national Olympic team qualify, he has a great chance as the only Chinese goalkeeper who has played in the Champions League. But I think it's better for him to do his best in the Olympic Games! ”

"Why?" Huang Jianxiang asked.

"Of course, it's a matter of location!" Zhan Jun smiled bitterly, "In our Chinese words, Tang Wu helped the National Olympic Games to kick into the Olympic Games, this is a vote!" Or what did Tang Wu do when he came to the national football team? As a substitute? Even if Alihan forcibly made him the starting goalkeeper, would Jiang Jin and them agree? Convincing? ”

"Yes! That's the reason! Thinking of this, Huang Jianxiang also shook his head.

"Qualifications" are understood differently at home and abroad, and in China, qualifications need you to stay in one place for a period of time.

"But although the Asian Cup is important, it is not as important as the World Cup!" Zhan Jun continued, "Even if the national football team was absent from the Olympics, the Asian Cup failed to win the championship. The most important thing is that the national football team must qualify for the World Cup qualifiers! ”

"Indeed, although this is a long-term front, it is the most important one for the national football team!" Huang Jianxiang thought of last year's World Cup and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"We were affected by SARS and spent most of the last year doing nothing. There are no international competitions, and the training camp is also a flash. ”

"Half a month ago, in the East Asian semifinals, we lost to Japan and South Korea one after another, which in itself shows that there is still a gap between us and Japan and South Korea."

"By the way, we've started training, right?" Speaking of which, Zhan Jun asked.

"That's right, from New Year's Day to February 18 to kick Kuwait, we have been training at Hainan Jinxin Base."

"Well, that's okay!" Zhan Jun calculated the time, and it was about 40 days. "Our tradition is that we have a bad warm-up before the tournament, but when we get to the tournament we are pleasantly surprised."

"Toshiko, do you know this?"

"Of course!" Zhan Jun said proudly, "The national football team and Kuwait have played 10 games in previous tournaments. The national football team won 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, scored 12 goals and conceded 6 goals. If nothing else, it is not a big problem for the national football team to defeat Kuwait, the top opponent in the group! ”

"Others, such as Malaysia and Hong Kong, are not at all credible!"

"Yes, then let's wish the national football team to qualify in advance!"

"That's right, as long as we play steadily, we will definitely be able to qualify from the group!" Thinking of playing in the World Cup again, Zhan Jun also waved his fist and was excited.

"Hey, hey, are you two done chattering? It's going to be broadcast soon! At this moment, the director's voice came from the headset.

Huang Jianxiang made an "OK" gesture to the glass, put on his headphones one after another with Zhan Jun, sorted out the documents, and watched the countdown of the cameraman.

Five, four, three, two, one!

'Good morning, and welcome to the 20th round of the English Premier League, Chelsea vs Liverpool.'

"This game is 20 o'clock local time on the 7th in the UK."

"I'm the host Huang Jianxiang, and next to me is my new partner, Zhan Jun, a famous overseas Premier League commentator. Mr. Zhan Jun, what do you think of this match? ”
