Chapter 54 Chinese Football (II)

Liu Jianhong said very secretly, but we might as well make it clear here that in China, from ancient times to the present, there is a kind of person who can't do anything else, they have a mouth!

is in a high position, but he has no ability, but his heart is higher than the sky, and if he goes to war, he can put forward dozens of plans for "annihilating the opponent's million-strong army in one night"; To do business, if you can put forward "five cents to fight him for 50 million (or 500 million or higher)", to play football, one by one will shout the slogan of rushing out of Asia in one year, second-rate in Europe in two years, becoming a world powerhouse in three years, and winning the Hercules Cup in four years.

But they don't understand fart, and all that's left is a mouth!

It's a pity that these people have authority! What is the son of the chairman of so-and-so, the brother-in-law of a certain bigwig of the Football Association, and the little nephew of the second uncle of the sponsor!

Zeng Xuelin is a good coach, he was one of the first outstanding members to study in Hungary that year, but he was inevitably a little soft-spoken because he had no power or power.

In the face of such a large number of eldest sons, brothers-in-law, and second uncles' little nephews, it was useless for him to speak.

The Chinese team lost, the fans angrily scolded the national team, scolded the players, the players were so frightened that they hid in the lounge and did not dare to come out, and finally escaped from the secret passage, hiding in a small building under the protection of the police for a week, and did not dare to take a bath, Uncle Zeng even had his hair white in a week!

The 519 incident is the darkest day and the saddest day in the history of Chinese football.

The fans are in turmoil, they see what they smash, what they see, cars, cameras of foreign journalists......

The players were ruined, no one would admit them, and many fans were ruined, detained, and sentenced to three years in prison.

CCTV found the fan before, because the fan said that he would never step into the Gongti again!

The reporter asked him, will he go to Gongti to watch the ball in the final? He shook the ticket in his hand and said proudly: "I must be going, because now Chinese football is no longer in charge of those incompetent people!" ”

In 1987, Gao Fengwen was in charge of Shuaiyin, he got the right to qualify for the Olympic Games for the Chinese team, when the whole country celebrated, Gao Fengwen's National Olympic team also went to the Spring Festival Gala in the form of video, but unfortunately in the Olympic Games, the Chinese team conceded five goals, did not score a goal, and was called the most unenterprising team.

In 1989, China encountered two consecutive black three minutes in the World Cup qualifiers, the first time against the United Arab Emirates, leading by one goal at the last moment was pulled twice in a row, and the second time was the last game against Qatar, as long as it wins, it can enter Italy, but in the case of a one-goal lead, it was scored twice by the opponent at the last moment! ”

Narrator: "I have never seen a weaker team than the Chinese team in history, it can be said that the Chinese team is to create myths for others, the record of many reversals makes the Chinese football waist can not stand up, the Germans are remembered by people as brave, strong, and never give up until the last minute, but the Chinese team, also do not fight until the last minute, absolutely not think that the game is over, black three minutes, how does this word sound so awkward!" ”

In 1992, the Chinese Football Association made a bold move and invited Schlapner from Germany to be the coach of the Chinese football team, and Xu Genbao was his assistant. After Schlapner took office, he first carried out patriotic education for Chinese players, which made fans across the country awe-inspired.

The new Chinese team won the third place in the 10th Asian Cup under the leadership of Coach Yang, and there were such results at the beginning of the debut, and the national team of "Uncle Shi" once again ignited the hope of fans, and Uncle Shi also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, and sold a white hair at a high price of 100,000 yuan......

Uncle Shi's famous quote is: 'You don't know where the ball is kicked, then you kick it inside the goal!' ’

It's a pity that Uncle Shi was defeated by Little Snake Yemen, and the Chinese team fell on the road to the World Cup again, which also made people see that blindly pursuing foreign coaches is not the solution to the problem.

On April 17, 1994, the first round of the repackaged Marlboro Cup 1994 National Football League (Group A) began, and the opening ceremony was held in Chengdu. About 150,000 people watched the first round of the tournament in six venues, including more than 40,000 in Chengdu and Yanji. This day indicates that Chinese football has begun to develop in the direction of professionalism.

In the same year, the Chinese Football Association appointed Qi Wusheng to perform teaching training for the Chinese football team, and the Chinese team defeated the visiting Italian powerhouse Sampdoria 4:2 in Beijing and won the runner-up in the football match of the Hiroshima Asian Games. In the same year, the Beijing Guoan Club team defeated the AC Milan team, the "king of kings" in world football, and these games set off another ** in Chinese football.

The turning point of history begins at this moment......"

The music became cheerful, and a handsome young face appeared on the screen, training on turf in the training uniform of the Saint-Germain team.

"On September 11, 1995, a piece of news shocked the entire Chinese football world, in the sixth round of the French League, the old powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain team was behind by two goals at home, a Chinese teenager came off the bench, scored two goals, assisted one goal, and helped the Saint-Germain team 3:2 to overtake the previous champion Auxerre!

When the news was first published in the newspaper Soccer, that issue of the newspaper set a record for sales in the history of the newspaper.

Can the Chinese score goals in the big five leagues? And one or two, and even served as a savior when the team was behind! The news made fans all over China turn their attention to the unknown young player in faraway France.

That player was Ling Feng, a key figure in the history of Chinese football. ”

On the screen, Ling Feng's goals in Ligue 1 were played, and the wonderful goals one after another made the fans enthusiastic.

"We are glad that Chinese football has finally produced a genius, a genius who can perform well in the five major leagues, so that the world is beginning to recognize the genius of Chinese football.

Time and time again, Ling Feng led Saint-Germain to victory, since Ling Feng appeared, he has almost never been defeated, and Saint-Germain has not lost once when Ling Feng was on the court!

Ling Feng's name resounded throughout European football and became the hope of all Chinese fans!

At the beginning of 96, during the winter break of Ligue 1, Ling Feng first secretly went to Sao Paulo, Brazil, and negotiated with the Sao Paulo club at his own expense to build the first overseas base of Chinese football in Brazil, and could give outstanding players the opportunity to participate in the Brazilian First Division!

Then after returning to China, he selected a group of players to go overseas, and organized China's first U15 league in the formal sense, so as to select a large number of outstanding players to go abroad, and now fans are familiar with Yue Lingxiang, Liu Dong, Ding Rui and others, are the first U15 League was selected out of good seedlings.

It can be said that this action is the most significant overseas study in the history of Chinese football, and the direct consequence is to make the Chinese team eligible to advance to the ranks of the world's top teams!

Since then, Ling Feng's excellent performance in the Saint-Germain team helped Saint-Germain win the French League 1 championship, the French Cup championship and the European Cup Winners' Cup that year, which is the first time in history that the Chinese have won the championship trophy of a major European league, Ling Feng has become the top scorer and assist king of the French league, the first scorer of the Cup Winners' Cup, and the only player in history to score a hat-trick in the Cup of Winners' Cup final!

From this day on, Ling Feng's name has been equated with the top players in the world!

But when he was successful at Saint-Germain, he chose to leave and went to Hamburg, Germany, and at this time Ling Feng made a bold statement that he wanted to win the championship trophy of the five major European leagues before the World Cup in 02!

This significance is epoch-making, there has never been a player in history who has won the championship of the five major leagues at the same time in his career, let alone in just seven years - but we know that Ling Feng only took five years to complete this glorious and arduous task, not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented!

In five years, he has been the champion of the five major leagues, the first scorer in the five major leagues, and the top three in the assist list - this achievement, Ling Feng is a well-deserved king!

What fans across the country will always remember is the Asian Cup at the end of 1996, when Ling Feng announced that he would return to China to compete.

When Ling Feng stepped off the plane, we could see the cheering scene of tens of thousands of fans, they were looking forward to the revitalization of Chinese football and the next rise of Chinese football!

In the final of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team defeated Japan, defeated South Korea, and defeated Iran by a large score, and in the final final, although the referee had set a record of the most unforgivable favoritism in the international A-level competition, the Chinese team still defeated the opponent and won the Asian Cup!

But after the game, Ling Feng's speech at the press conference directly pointed the finger at the A-League, which had many shortcomings at that time, and ruined the Asian Cup in public! ”

The scene at that time appeared on the screen, Ling Feng held the Asian Cup trophy high with both hands, and said to the camera: "I, Ling Feng, announce to the world at this moment that I will withdraw from the Chinese national team until the day when Chinese football is truly revitalized!" This Asian Cup does not belong to the current Chinese team! ”

The Asian Cup was smashed, and millions of Chinese fans took to the streets to demand that the Football Association step down and hand over power, a history that football experts have dubbed the "Ling Feng Incident".

The impact of the "Ling Feng incident" is huge, several major clubs in the first A expressed their support for Ling Feng and announced their withdrawal from the A League, China's first league was implemented for more than two years and died, and then, the players of large clubs refused to enter the national team, and the strength of the Chinese team became even more unbearable.

At that time, the Chinese Football Association took a procrastination decision, on the one hand, hoping to negotiate peace with Ling Feng, on the other hand, hoping to use time to dilute the anger in the hearts of fans, but before the group stage of the 97 World Cup qualifiers, the inverted Football Association movement once again set off a **!

On April 6, 1997, Ling Feng publicly announced ten epoch-making conditions in the history of Chinese football in Hamburg, but they were rejected by the Chinese Football Association at that time.

On April 11, 1997, Xiang Chun, the chairman of the Football Association, who was cornered, announced that the Chinese team had given up its qualification for the World Cup qualifiers, and the whole country was furious!

At noon on April 12, the new Football Association held a press conference, announcing that the former chairman of the Football Association, Xiang Chun, Hong Shixiong, and others had received huge bribes for the convenience of their positions, and were removed from their posts for investigation.

The real rise of Chinese football starts from this moment!

In the U17 World Youth Championship held in Malaysia, the Chinese team won the championship in one fell swoop under the leadership of Ling Feng, which was the first time in the history of Chinese football to win the championship in an international competition!

In the second half of 97, the new Chinese League opened, marking that Chinese football was gradually on the right track.

On November 5, 1997, the Chinese team faced Qatar at the Dalian Golden State Stadium, which was another game that could qualify with a draw!

We have been reversed many times in such a crucial game in history, but this time, the curse on the head of the Chinese team has been broken! Under the leadership of Ling Feng, the Chinese team slaughtered Qatar 15:0 and rushed into the finals of the World Cup two rounds ahead of schedule, which was the first time that the Chinese team rushed into the World Cup in 40 years.

In late April 1998, the coach of Maradona, who had just achieved unprecedented success in Serie A Fiorentina, announced that he would coach the Chinese team.

On June 14, 1998, the first World Cup match of the Chinese team began, with the help of Ling Feng's hat trick, the Chinese team defeated the Eastern European powerhouse Yugoslavia team 3:2 at the last moment, and made a good start!

Next, defeating Germany and defeating the United States, the Chinese team won all three games to enter the round of 16, defeated Mexico, eliminated Croatia with the golden ball, and the Chinese team entered the semifinals in history!

This is the best result in the history of Asian teams, and the Chinese team has done it, but the price paid is also heavy!

Ling Feng scored the fastest golden goal in history in the game against Croatia, but it was precisely because of this goal that Ling Feng fell on the World Cup field for the second time, and in the next semi-finals against France, Ling Feng played with an injury, but he still couldn't save the overall situation.

In the third and fourth place finals, the Chinese team lost to the Netherlands and won the fourth place, but this result is enough to satisfy all Chinese fans, this is the first time that the Chinese team has entered the World Cup, but it has won the best result in the history of Asian teams!

From this moment on, the name of the Chinese team has been engraved in the scope of the world's top teams!
