Chapter 678: The Helmsman of Celestial Empire Football
The summer of 2030 is destined to be the most noteworthy and important point in the history of world football, because the great Real Madrid has completed the honor that all teams can only achieve in a beautiful dream, and has successively won all the trophies that can be participated in, creating a miracle that has never been seen before, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to come in the future.
And the Chinese-Spanish who ruled world football under his feet for ten years, in such a situation that everyone could only bow and worship, waved his sleeves lightly, did not even say goodbye, and took the initiative to step down from the supreme throne and choose to retreat to the mountains and forests.
Just when the outside world was making a fuss about this hot news, an extremely shocking news came from the Iberian Peninsula, the champion coach who broke the habit of discrimination against all Caucasian people and convinced almost all Europeans, was actually going through the procedures for restoring the nationality of the Celestial Empire, and all the properties in Europe were either sold or transferred to the name of his friend Raul, in preparation for returning to his homeland. And because the superpower does not recognize dual citizenship, this means that he will soon have to say goodbye to the center of world football, and there will be no more relating to it.
Maybe it's because of the very thorough preparation in the early stage, or maybe it's also because of the special status of the person concerned, when everyone was still arguing about the choice of the former Real Madrid coach, Li Mudi had already boarded the flight to Beijing with the news personally notified by the ambassador to Spain. When he sets foot on the territory of his homeland again, a freshly baked ID card will be handed over to him, and he will finally find his roots.
On the afternoon of June 17, Beijing Capital International Airport, if it were not for the ZF side to urgently mobilize most of the protective forces in hand, hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the country rushed to pick up the plane almost blocked this super aviation hub, which ranks first in the world's passenger traffic, into a situation of water, but even so, the flight delay rate on this day has also created a new high in non-abnormal weather since the establishment of the airport.
At the same time, the official reception specifications are also staggering, and the vice president//li, who had many close exchanges with Li Mudi in the Physical Reform Commission, came to the scene in person, and followed by ministerial-level leaders such as the head of the sports general manager and the deputy director of the Propaganda Department, which is really a bit big.
Coupled with the long guns and short guns of hundreds of TV stations and online media, even the visit of the President of the United States does not have this pomp and circumstance, which highlights Li Mudi's transcendent status in the eyes of the Chinese people.
After the specific part of the welcome ceremony, you can refer to the procedures for foreign heads of state to visit China, so I won't go into detail here, let's fast forward the time to the part that everyone is most concerned about, that is, in the CCTV building that afternoon, the famous beautiful host Ma Fanshu interviewed the protagonist of this book. The whole process was broadcast live nationwide on news channels, and the ratings also broke a series of records.
The first half of the interview is all about some regular questions, such as talking about how it feels to lead Real Madrid to replicate the Grand Slam again in the past season, looking back on the journey of coaching in Europe for more than ten years and then expressing the so-called feelings, etc., and the middle part is about what the gap between the Celestial Empire and the world's top football level is, and how to change this situation.
However, for the vast majority of Celestial Empire fans who watched the live broadcast in front of the screen, their biggest concern was still late at the last moment, that is, whether Li Mudi would play an important role in the national football team that is fully preparing for the World Cup.
Yes, you read that right, our men's football team will finally return to the world's most famous football event in 2030, and the reason why the term "most famous" is used is mainly because the expansion of the army has brought about a decline in the quality of the World Cup, which has attracted a lot of boycotts. It's just that no matter how many people complain about the current format, the name World Cup can still ignite all the passion in Celestial Football.
As we mentioned before, the national football team led by Gao Gui did not have a particularly good ranking and qualification prospects when there were still two rounds left in the qualifiers. But maybe it's the new policies introduced by the country that have brought more confidence to everyone, or maybe God doesn't want to see the world's most devout fans cry again. In short, under the condition that they were not very favored by the outside world, the Celestial Empire men's football team actually played a dazzling two-game winning streak at the most critical closing moment, not only grabbed a ticket to enter the finals, but also overtook the Vietnamese team in front of them at the last moment, and avoided the play-offs as the second in the group, allowing the Chinese people to enjoy a rare thrill of a dream come true.
It's just that the happiness without strength as a basis is always short-lived, due to the unique format arrangement of the World Cup after the expansion (16 seeded teams directly enter the group stage, and the other 32 teams compete for another 16 group stage places, which is equivalent to playing one more round of qualifiers), if the game in the competition for a place in the group stage is returned, then the first World Cup trip of the national football team after 28 years is limited to only playing one game, which is quite in line with the word "visit here".
Through the draw, they were ranked last in the world among the 48 teams, and unfortunately drew Turkey, a European powerhouse that is considered to have a chance to advance to the knockout round, which also made a very pessimistic mood spread in the land of China. Everyone thinks that the national football team can book a round-trip ticket between Beijing and Africa (this World Cup is jointly hosted by Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia), because the possibility of an upset is too small, and there is almost no chance of winning.
At this moment when no one dares to hope that a miracle will happen, the world's No. 1 coach that the Chinese people are proud of is back, so what else is there to say, it is naturally a voice advocating that his "yellow robe" take over the national team's handsome seal, at least he has to have a joint coach with Gao Gui.
Regarding the expectations of the fans, Li Mudi, who has not responded before, finally expressed his attitude through the platform of CCTV, that is, he will still maintain the previous decision and will not disturb the system that Gao Gui has established for more than two years.
Obviously, this answer is not satisfactory to everyone, but when you think about it, it is the most reasonable choice. After all, the senior director did not hesitate to take advantage of his own fame, resolutely returned to China to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the national football coach, and also led the team to successfully enter the World Cup finals, although it is very likely that he will return home after a game, but for this deep patriotism and merit, it is worth all the Celestial Dynasty football people to take off their hats and pay tribute. Since the right to qualify was obtained by this old coach, everyone must accept what kind of result is obtained in the end.
As for what kind of work he will engage in after returning to China, Li Mudi has nothing to hide, and bluntly said that he will devote most of his energy to the task of strengthening the national youth training force, which also makes the Chinese people have a lot of expectations. Even though our country has been shouting for decades to build its own youth training system, it has been proven to be just lip service and break the hearts of the majority of fans. However, the trust of the Chinese people is still very high for this national icon, because since he became the coach of the Real Madrid youth team in 2009, Li Mudi's football career has been closely linked to the word youth training, and the two have become almost an inseparable part, and his coaching experience in Europe is likely to achieve new success in Chinese soil.
In the next few days, when the European side was still talking about the world No. 1 coach who was not yet 47 years old, he chose to disarm and return to the field, and the people of the Celestial Empire were also wishing the national football team to play its due momentum on the African continent, and at the same time looking forward to the future of national football can usher in a huge change, a piece of news detonated the media and the public like an atomic bomb.
The Celestial Dynasty ZZF issued an announcement to add Li Mudi as a member of the 15th National Committee of the Political //Association Association, so that the protagonists of the two lives, who are just ordinary civilians, experience the feeling of having a right in their hands, although there is only one right to submit proposals. At the same time, the Physical Reform Commission announced the establishment of the National Football Youth Training Coordination Association, and the position of the first president fell to Li Mudi's head without any suspense.
The new organization, by its name, has the impression of a state-run sports system of twenty or thirty years ago, and it is very unpleasant, and its announced responsibilities are so vague that it is difficult to figure out what its jurisdiction is.
But before the anxious media put the doubts on the table, Li Mudi's first action after returning to China appeared in front of everyone's eyes, all cities above the third tier (including the third tier) in the country will be open to the public free of charge all football fields under the management of ZF from now on, and at the same time, the state funds to build one or two small fields for playing futsal in schools at all levels that did not have intramural football fields before. In addition, football summer camps in core cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have also begun to be held, and there is no age restriction for the first time, that is, even if you are past the age of old, as long as you have no physical problems, you can participate without any fees.
At the beginning, the Chinese people still felt a little novel about this series of measures, after all, even if they don't know the exact number, they can guess and know that the country has really taken out a lot of soft girls in this wave of measures, which is obviously different from the previous behavior of thunder and no rain.
It's just that with the introduction of various new regulations related to the development of youth football like ducks going down the river, everyone is a little surprised or numb to Li Mudi's actions, and the opening of the World Cup has attracted the attention of a huge number of fans, which naturally makes this trend of national football development gradually fall silent from everyone's sight.
And after the men's football team of the dynasty really failed to reverse the fate of the first round of tours, and this quadrennial event also came to an end, when everyone began to calm down and discuss the future development path of our football, they were suddenly shocked by what had happened in the past little more than a month, because it was really a big deal that only the world's No. 1 coach dared to do!
The "Let Children Love Football" charity project, which has been going on for many years, has been covering a larger and larger area with the continuous increase of investment, and the materials have become more and more abundant (a lot of new football equipment has been added, such as football shoes, goalkeeper gloves, jerseys, etc.), and now Li Mudi has assisted a plastic futsal field in hundreds of poor areas at the same time, so that children who can only run in the sand can have a relatively regular playing place.
After that, the Ministry of Education issued a red-headed document requiring that from the beginning of the new semester, all primary and secondary schools in the country should ensure that students at all levels have at least four hours of physical education class time per week, otherwise the relevant responsible person will be severely punished with a maximum of suspension. The Commission for the Reform of the System organizes a special inspection team to conduct unannounced visits to major cities from time to time, and will immediately report problems as soon as they are discovered. The direct leader of the inspection team is Li Mudi himself, and even the Ministry of Education has to obey his leadership in this regard, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of intercession.
If the above measures are relatively acceptable, then at the beginning of July, a new regulation issued by the Real Estate Management Department of the State Administration of Organs and Affairs was somewhat surprising to ordinary people, because it was written that all new communities in the country in the future must build a hard field with a size of not less than 23 meters x 15 meters, and residents can exercise nearby.
The establishment of a fitness center in the community is nothing new in the Celestial Empire, where high-rise buildings are built every day, and almost every building built in recent years is equipped with related facilities, but this is the first time that such a specific requirement has been made. Soon, someone with a heart appeared, announcing the fact that this number is the size of the half-field of futsal with the smallest area demand, which makes people have to think of Li Mudi, and at the same time, they can't help but marvel at the fact that the energy of their national idol can already affect the formulation of real estate regulations.
It's just that when everyone is talking about how many years it will take for these infrastructure to change the football environment of the Celestial Empire, there are many international players who originally played in the Tianchao League and several European teams in the men's football team who have just returned to China. Because of an inside message from within the Sports Reform Commission, in order for the star to travel to Europe smoothly, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China will approve a special fund of hundreds of millions of yuan to compensate those clubs whose strength may decline due to the release of the main team to play in Europe.
As a result, several old domestic powerhouses such as Beijing, Modu, and Yangcheng immediately expressed their attitudes through the media, and it is an unshirkable responsibility to cultivate football talents for the country, and they will not accept the so-called compensation, so that the fans praise in unison.
Soon, eight international or quasi-international players aged 22-26 signed contracts with the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga, Portuguese Super League and Greek Super League before the end of July, and as many as 17 young players under the age of 20 went to the Netherlands, France and Spain, which are known for their excellent youth training conditions, to train in their respective secondary leagues, which kicked off the tide of studying abroad that gradually heated up in the following years.
