Chapter 418: Football Camp
The Copa America celebration was very perfunctory.
In fact, the Brazilian Football Federation and the city government of Rio de Janeiro have made all preparations for this championship celebration!
It's just that they are preparing for the Brazilian team to win the championship, and they never thought that the Brazilian team would let the championship of the Copa America held on their doorstep be left behind!
But the end result was a big surprise.
The South American Football Confederation, the Brazilian Football Federation, and the Rio de Janeiro City Government, after the Dragons unexpectedly won the Copa America, all had a terrible headache, thinking about how to clean up the mess, and naturally had no intention of running the Dragon Nation's championship celebration.
Even the award ceremony was held with a strong smile.
The Dragons also had no intention of leaving hatred in vain, and on the day of the end of the game, they contacted a charter flight overnight, first flew from Rio de Janeiro to Los Angeles, transited through Los Angeles, and returned to China.
Leave a mess of chicken feathers in Rio de Janeiro!
As one of the BRICS countries, Brazil has always had a good relationship with the Dragon Country - this is one of the reasons why the Dragon Football Association accepted the invitation of the South American Football Confederation and the Brazilian Football Federation to participate in this Copa America.
Then the good relationship with the dragon country, Brazil's foreign trade, developed relatively well, and the economic situation is second to none in South America.
The domestic situation is also relatively stable.
However, in the Copa America held at home, the championship was lost to the Dragon Country team, which participated as an away team, and this result was unacceptable to Brazilian fans.
Immediately after the game, Brazilian fans organized several large-scale demonstrations to vent their dissatisfaction with the Brazilian Football Federation and the Brazilian team.
Even their favorite Neymar has become the target of public criticism this time, and he has been widely criticized!
Neymar did not show the demeanor of a team leader in this Copa America.
Especially in the comparison with Shen Feng, he is completely inferior.
The unexpected defeat of the Brazilian team was not without its benefits.
The good thing is that before the final, the global public opinion on the Argentine team and Messi suddenly shifted to the Brazilian team and Neymar.
The Argentine team and Messi only lost the semifinals, compared to the Brazilian team and Neymar who lost the final, the face is slightly better.
Although there are not many good-looking ones.
After losing to the Dragons in the semifinals, Messi once again announced his withdrawal from the Argentine national team and issued a statement to assume full responsibility for the loss of the Argentine team.
Neymar also did the same, after losing to the Dragons in the final, at the post-match press conference, he publicly announced that he would withdraw from the Brazilian national team and take full responsibility for the Brazilian team's loss.
Messi did not get the forgiveness of the Argentine fans, and neither did Neymar.
The next vacation between the two of them will obviously not be easy.
However, all this has nothing to do with Shen Feng.
With the mentality of playing soy sauce, and now returning with a championship trophy, after the Dragon Country team and Shen Feng returned to China, they were warmly welcomed by the fans of the Dragon Kingdom.
The prestige of Shen Feng and the Dragon Country team in China has reached a higher level.
The championship of this Copa America is heavier than the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year!
Because the level of football development in South America and the strength of the participating teams are far better than those in Asia.
Although there are many unexpected factors for the Dragon Country team to win the championship this time, football games have always been resultal, and the championship is not criticized!
The Dragons won the Copa America as an away team, which can be said to have set a record in the history of international football this year.
There is no one before, and there will be no one to come.
In the future, the South American Football Confederation will not invite the Dragons to participate in the Copa America, and if other teams are invited, they will be cautious and choose those group stage players as much as possible.
In a situation like this Copa America, the South American Football Confederation will definitely not allow it to happen a second time!
The Dragons won the Copa America, creating a dilemma for the South American Football Confederation and FIFA - that is, how to decide the quota for the Qatar Confederations Cup in two years.
According to FIFA regulations, the qualification for the Confederations Cup is the cup champion of each continent, plus the host, and the winner of the last World Cup.
Now, the Dragons are both champions of the Asian Cup and the Copa America, and as an Asian team, the Dragons will definitely participate in the Confederations Cup as the champions of the Asian Cup, so it will be more embarrassing for the team representing the Copa America.
According to the rules, the participating teams from South America should be postponed to the runners-up of this Copa America.
However, it is difficult to say whether Brazil will have the face to represent South America in the Qatar Confederations Cup in two years' time.
It is said that within the South American Football Confederation, there are now urgent consultations to prepare for another Copa America next year, and then the winner of that Copa America will represent South America in the 2021 Confederations Cup.
The implementation of this plan will require the approval of all South American national football federations, and it will not be decided in a moment.
However, even if it can be made, it has nothing to do with the Dragon Country team.
The Dragon Team returned with glory and did not have a large-scale celebration, and this Copa America champion made the Dragon Football Association not know what attitude to use, so it could only uphold the principle of the past and deal with it in a low-key manner.
Moreover, because of participating in the Copa America, the Dragon Super League players in the Dragon Country team have been absent from several rounds of the Dragon Super League and need to be released immediately.
Therefore, after the Dragon Country team returned to China, it only held an internal celebration summary meeting, and then disbanded on the spot in the capital, and the players who played in the Dragon Super League immediately returned to their respective clubs to prepare for the next league.
Players who play in Europe can officially enter vacation mode.
Shen Feng couldn't take a vacation, because the first phase of the "National Youth Football Training Camp" organized by him had officially opened on July 1.
In this issue of the "National Youth Football Training Camp", a total of 34 teams participated, covering all 34 provincial-level administrative regions of Longguo, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
The number of young players required for each team to register is 30, plus no more than five coaches and life teachers, and the number of people who need to be received is nearly 1,200.
Most of the young players between the ages of 13 and 17 will be concentrated in the commercial city, where they will receive a month and a half of professional training, during which they will play a single round-robin league.
This training camp is led by Shen Feng, and the general person in charge is Jia Xiuquan, a well-known coach known for youth training in China, and a number of former international players serve as consultants - including Xu Yang, Hao Haidong, Fan Zhiyi and others, and also invited a group of youth coaches from Germany to provide professional guidance for young players.
All the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the young players during the training camp are all borne by the training camp.
