Chapter 60: Tang Wu's Suggestion
"Dong Fangzhuo?" Tang Wu smacked his lips, and he was really a little impressed.
A few days ago, the two influential media in the UK, The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian, disclosed at the same time that the coach of the Premier League giants Manchester United Ferguson officially stated that the club would transfer Dong Fangzhuo at a price of 100~150 pounds.
This news did not attract widespread attention, first of all, it is not certain whether Ferguson said this sentence, and secondly, it is a matter between clubs, and it doesn't count if Ferguson said it.
So this matter became a topic of conversation after dinner, and I didn't take it to heart at all.
"Manchester United really want to sign Dong Fangzhuo?"
"Well, that's right, Manchester United has already sent someone to negotiate with Shide. However, Shide means that they don't want to release people, they would rather have "zero loan" than let Dong Fangzhuo leave. Yu Hang thought for a while and recalled.
"Why?" Tang Wu was a little puzzled.
"Tang Wu, you don't know anything about this!" Yu Hang sighed, "Domestic clubs are not like Europe, and the players are the club's "private property". The Football Association stipulates that if a club has played for five years, it is not allowed to transfer. In the final analysis, it is the club's decision to transfer or not! ”
"Stupid Football Association!" After listening to Yu Hang's explanation, Tang Wu also had a general understanding.
Since Manchester United has a rumor about Dong Fangzhuo, it means that this kid's skills must be good, and no matter how bad he is, he is also a top-notch player in China.
Such a player Dalian Shide is naturally reluctant to let go, and Manchester United can't spend more money to impress the other party, so there is a chance that this matter will be yellow!
"Then what does this Xiao Dong think?"
"He? Naturally, he wanted to come! Yu Hang looked around and continued after finding that there were no outsiders, "What level of club is Manchester United?" Of course Dong Fangzhuo wants to come! But you also know that Dong Fangzhuo can't talk nonsense! In front of the media, he only said that no matter where he is, he will work hard to train and play football. ”
"Oh, in China, I don't even have the freedom to play football wherever I want! How else can football develop like this? Tang Wu complained.
"That's right, Tang Wu, do you know, now the situation of staying abroad has entered the "cold winter"! If you hadn't suddenly appeared, we would have been farther away by the moonset of Japan, South Korea and Iran! ”
"Is that an exaggeration?"
"Of course!" Speaking of this, Yu Hang suddenly became serious.
Since the 80s of the last century, there have been more than 40 foreign players in Asia (especially East Asia), and from these more than 40 people, a few people can be selected as representatives of the three periods.
The first period was around the 80s, and the representative was Che Fangen.
Others, such as Park Sang-in, Kim Jin-kook and Park Jong-won, were finally brought to an end by Kim Joo-seong, who could be the second generation.
The Chinese and Japanese players started to stay abroad late, and later in this generation, there were Gu Guangming, who had not become a climate in the German Second Division, and Yamaura Chira, who was sent to Serie A by a large Japanese company and opened the road for Japanese players to stay abroad.
The second period was from the nineties to last year's World Cup, represented by Hidetoshi Nakata.
Hidetoshi Nakata, who first landed in Perugia, then won Serie A with the Roma Legion, and finally donned the number 10 shirt of Parma, is Japan's most successful overseas player to date. On the other hand, it can almost be said that the rise of the Japanese team is synchronized and inseparable from the growth of Hidetoshi Nakata.
Some of the more famous figures of this generation include the Iranian four Jayari Daei, Aziz, Bagheri, and Madavecchia.
Yang Chen, Li Jinyu, Ma Mingyu of China.
Japan's Akihiro Nishizawa, Hiroshi Naba, and Shoji Castle of Japan, as well as Lee Dong-guk and Ahn Jung-hwan of South Korea.
Also playing in the minor league are Fan Zhiyi, Sun Jihai, Xie Hui, Li Ming, Zhang Enhua and others.
The third period is after last year's World Cup, represented by Li Tie, Sun Taiyang, Junichi Inamoto, Shunsuke Nakamura, Xue Qixuan of South Korea and others.
China only has Li Weifeng, who once shot at Everton and returned to China, and Shao Jiayi, a third-generation player.
Japan has Shinji Ono, Takayuki Suzuki, Naoyasu Takahara, Nobomi Hiroyama and Noshi Kawaguchi who plays in the English League.
In South Korea, there are Song Jong Kook, Cha Doo-ri, Lee E-yong, Lee Yong-pyo, Park Ji-sung, who defected to his mentor Hiddink, and Antar of Lebanon.
Combined with the retention of the second generation, in terms of the number of people who play in Europe's top leagues, Japan has seven; six from South Korea; three Chinese (except Tang Wu); two Iranians; One person from Lebanon.
Players from China, Japan and South Korea are in full bloom, not only in South Korea or Japan, but also in Germany or Italy.
However, compared with other players who play in important positions in high-level league teams, Tang Wu's former grandson Sun is the last ray of sunshine in Chinese football shrouded in dark clouds.
Isn't there anyone who wants Chinese players?
Apparently not!
Dewey has been named one of the 11 future superstars of world football by ESPN's SOCCERNET, and Aston Villa in the English Premier League and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga have expressed strong interest.
But he can't go!
The reason has just been mentioned.
Qu Bo, the boy who chased the wind back then, was once designed by "Champion Football Manager" as the player with the most potential for world-class stars, and some people even said that he was faster than Owen!
The kick against South Korea in the Asian Youth Championship three years ago inspired the morale of how many fans?!
Now, his former defeated generals Li Tianxiu, Park Ji-sung, Donovan and others are all famous, and Qu Bo has already felt like he is declining in addition to still playing in the National Olympics.
"Our football circle is a veritable black hole of stars, tirelessly staging the story of hurting Zhongyong, it is always the officials and businessmen who benefit, and the fans who are sad." In the end, Captain Yu sighed, but the unwillingness could not be dissipated in the air.
The atmosphere was a little heavy, and after listening to Yu Hang's introduction, Tang Wu also realized that staying abroad had become such an important thing, and it had already fallen behind!
Now the Football Association has also figured out the key and encouraged young players to stay abroad and develop.
However, due to the rules and national conditions set by himself, coupled with the reality of the three players Sun Li Shao in Europe, the matter of staying abroad has always been obstructed by all sides.
In this way, even if Dong Fang Zhuolai really came to Manchester United to improve his skills, he would be criticized and blocked by all sides, and even the fans were not optimistic.
"So, Tang Wu, your current performance at Chelsea has touched the hearts of many fans in China! Everyone is waiting to see how you perform next! Speaking of this, Yu Hang's eyes lit up again, "By the way, this time I came with a few fans to write letters to you." You take a look! ”
As he spoke, Yu Hang took out a few postcards from Jin Ming's bag, and on the back of each postcard, a simple greeting was written.
"This is what the online fans sent you after the news was posted on the old wave network! Well, this is asking if you have a girlfriend! The handwriting is a female fan at a glance! ”
Hearing the word "girlfriend", Tang Wu blushed a little. Hurriedly took the postcard and asked, "What should I do next?" ”
Yu Hang handed over another marker, "There are ten in total, find a place to sign after you read it, and I have to bring them back!" ”
"Alright! You old waves are really picky! Tang Wu unscrewed the cap of the pen and found a suitable place to sign his name.
"Tang Wu, your broad chest is the strongest barrier at Stamford Bridge, and it is also the hometown of my dreams!"
"Tang Wu, come on! I'm already a Chelsea fan and I'll always have your back! ”
"The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold. Tang Wu, you are the pride of our Northeast people! ”
"Tang Wu, I will watch every game of yours, our whole family is your most loyal fans!"
In this era when information is not very convenient, Tang Wu only knows how to play football well, and then buy some newspapers sold on the street to find out what British fans think of him and Chelsea.
Now, postcards bringing greetings and support from across the ocean are in front of him, and Tang Wu's heart is gradually fiery. For the first time, he felt that playing football might not only be for himself, but unconsciously, so many people's expectations had gathered on him.
"See! Tang Wu, this is what we have sifted out of thousands of postcards, and there are still a lot of such postcards in our headquarters! Yu Hang said proudly, "Now many fans gradually regard you as the third generation of "leaders" in Liuyang, and call on other players to learn from you!" ”
"Come on! I was just lucky to catch this good Chelsea ride! Tang Wu chuckled, "The day before yesterday, the Mirror also said that I was a lucky person who won the jackpot, and I would follow behind other teammates!" ”
"Humph! Even if it's wet, it's better than other players! Yu Hang said disdainfully, "Other people can't get this light yet!" ”
Tang Wu read all the contents of the postcard, memorized it silently, signed his names one by one, and returned them to Jin Ming.
"By the way, Tang Wu, if Dong Fangzhuo really wants to come to the Premier League, do you have any good advice or advice?" Yu Hang asked suddenly.
"Advice advice?" Tang Wu waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm just a newcomer, I haven't covered my own affairs yet, how can I dare to give advice to others?" ”
"No way!" Yu Hang said resolutely, "After all, you have been in the Premier League for more than a year, and in terms of time, you can be regarded as Dong Fangzhuo's "senior"!" And I'm not just asking for him, other fans want to know your answer. ”
"Oh? In that case, what do Brother Sun and Brother Li say? ”
Sun Jihai said that Dong Fangzhuo should learn English as soon as possible, so that he can communicate with the coach and teammates; Li Tie said that he usually trains harder, so that he can have more opportunities to show himself and gain the trust of the coach after playing. Yu Hang recalled for a moment, and then looked at Tang Wu with expectant eyes.
Looking at the camera on Jin Ming's shoulder, Tang Wu paused, and after thinking for a while, he slowly said three words: "Don't get hurt!" ”
