Chapter 135: Concerns
After Song Ping and his father Guo Sheng left, the smile on Zhang Peng's face slowly faded.
"Alas......" Zhang Peng also sighed, took out a cigarette and smoked silently.
In fact, Zhang Peng's attitude towards Guo Zizhao has always been contradictory. On the one hand, Zhang Peng also hopes that Guo Zizhao can win gold and silver in the world's track and field events and win glory for the country. After all, it's a dream that I've been fighting for decades as a track and field person; On the other hand, Zhang Peng still hopes that Guo Zizhao can make a comeback, and then return to the national team to train and compete honestly.
In fact, the reason for all this is because of Guo Zizhao's current identity. That is, Guo Zizhao is not an athlete in the system.
As an old revolutionary cultivated within the national system, Zhang Peng also went from a track and field athlete and coach to the current position of head coach of the national track and field team step by step. has long been accustomed to everything arranged by the organization and the system, so in Zhang Peng's eyes, an athlete like Guo Zizhao who has been outside the system is simply an unreasonable thing.
Two years ago, when Zhang Peng first learned that Guo Zizhao was not an athlete in the system, he almost clashed with Zhu Ling, the deputy director of the Shuchuan Provincial Sports Committee at that time. But later, with everyone's mediation, I slowly became less disgusted by it, but I actually always had a pimple in my heart.
However, at that time, Zhang Peng was also facing great pressure. The higher-ups demanded that they must produce results in the short term, and Guo Zizhao's requirements at that time did not harm their own interests. Therefore, Zhang Peng also made a small calculation in his heart. not only agreed to Guo Zizhao's request, but also ran back and forth for Guo Zizhao to join the national team smoothly.
However, in Zhang Peng's view, all this is just a stopgap measure.
……
In Zhang Peng's opinion at the time, although Guo Zizhao was an athlete outside the system, if he could join the national team, he could also play a lot of positive roles.
First, with Guo Zizhao's record-breaking results in last year's National Grand Prix, once he joins the national team, he will be able to immediately solve the pressure of his own results. In the next Asian Championships and Asian Games, as long as you can get good results, your position as the head coach will be immediately secured.
Second, I hope that Guo Zizhao can join and become a catfish in the national track and field team. In Zhang Peng's view, with Guo Zizhao, an athlete outside the system, joining, it can stimulate the training enthusiasm of those athletes in the system. Through the catfish effect, a good competitive environment is formed, so that these athletes in their hands can produce breakthrough progress in their performance under such external pressure.
Third, I hope to use Guo Zizhao as a whetstone to hone other key training objects. After all, in Zhang Peng's eyes, he still values a group of young athletes in the system such as Zhou Wei, Yin Hanzhao, Gong Wei, Wen Dahai, Chen Yanhao, etc. And Guo Zizhao is just a whetstone specially prepared for them.
Athletes' training and competitions must also have opponents of equal strength to stimulate at any time. Only in this way can we constantly break through our own limits in the comparison and competition with each other, so as to create better results.
In Zhang Peng's original plan, under the stimulation of Guo Zizhao's whetstone, young athletes such as Zhou Wei, Yin Hanzhao, and Gong Wei were able to constantly break through themselves. Let Chen Yanhao and Wen Dahai and other upright athletes in their prime regain their peak form. This is also one of the main purposes for Zhang Peng to agree to Guo Zizhao to join the national team.
。。。。。。
In addition to the above reasons, Zhang Peng agreed to Guo Zizhao's joining, and there was another important reason.
That is, Zhang Peng still thinks that although Guo Zizhao's current achievements are amazing, he is not trained professionally since he was a child. Now it's just relying on talent to eat, and catching up with the age of 18~20 years old is the period of rapid growth of strength, so we can achieve such remarkable results. But if such athletes still train outside the system, they will not enter the system. Without the professional training of the regular national team, once the golden time of these two years has passed, the strength of the future will not make much progress.
Therefore, Zhang Peng also thinks that after Guo Zizhao is a year or two, he will find that his grades have not improved. After planting a big heel in the international arena, you still have to honestly return to the system.
Moreover, a layman like Guo Zizhao, who has never been in the system, boldly plunged headlong into a place with complicated internal relations such as the national team. Even if he has a big backer on it, it is estimated that he will not mix too well. After all, it's not easy to make moves on the surface, just the small actions of everyone in the secret can make Guo Zizhao suffer a lot of dark losses.
Looking at it this way, getting Guo Zizhao into the national team is really a lot of things to do with one stone.
In the past two years, you can rely on Guo Zizhao to achieve good results and stabilize your position. It can also stimulate the training enthusiasm of other athletes, and can also be used to sharpen those key training objects. After a year or two, Zhou Wei and the others have grown up, and Guo Zizhao's grades are almost no longer progressive, and then he can be brought into the system and slowly adjusted.
……
It can be said that Zhang Peng's idea is good, and the plan is going smoothly. But what I never expected was that Guo Zizhao didn't play cards according to the routine!
First of all, Guo Zizhao quietly brought his old partner Song Ping into his coaching team. This time, those who want to make small moves in the national team will suddenly throw a mouse. Song Ping is the old man of the national team, and those curved things can't be fooled.
Besides, because Song Ping retired early from the national team, he may not have no resentment in his heart. I'm afraid that even to myself, there are some complaints in secret. After all, I was also troubled by the poor performance of the national team in international competitions that year. So when Song Ping didn't want to retire early, he didn't dare to give him too much support. It is estimated that Song Ping was also a little disappointed in himself in the end......
In the end, in this year, although Guo Zizhao achieved very good results as in his plan, his position was stabilized again.
But what people didn't expect was that Guo Zizhao's grades would improve so quickly!
It's only been about a year since he joined the national team, and he has become a world-class sprinter. Now I dare to say that I can win three and two at the World Championships, and all this caught everyone off guard.
I thought it was a catfish introduced for the national team, but now it looks like a big shark was accidentally brought in! No, Guo Zizhao does not have a gold medal in the Olympics or World Championships now, that is, he is just a small shark. However, even if it is a small shark, it is not something that these athletes in the national team can compete with.
Although Zhou Wei and others were stimulated by Guo Zizhao, they also ran the best results in history. Chen Yanhao has returned to his peak state again, but this is still too far from Guo Zizhao's achievements.
Just like this time, although Zhou Wei also reached the A standard of the World Championships, there has been almost no increase in his performance in the past six months. On the contrary, because of the large amount of training, there are also symptoms of muscle strain. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise this World Championships would have been missed due to injury. Chen Yanhao is the same, although his strength has also returned to his peak, but after all, he is a 27-year-old veteran, how much room for improvement is there? In addition to these two people, among the other sprinters of the current national team, the most is the strength of the B standard.
And what is even more terrifying is that in addition to the 100-meter and 110-meter hurdles, Guo Zizhao's 200-meter and 400-meter results far exceed the A standard of international competitions. As a result, the sprinters of the national team will not have the opportunity to participate in this kind of world competition unless anyone can reach the A standard.
This time, Guo Zizhao did not ask to participate in the 200-meter and 400-meter events because he had an agreement with Zhang Peng before. But in the future, it will not be easy. You can't just let low-level B-standard athletes compete every time, and let high-level A-standard athletes don't need to! Do you want to get results? Do you want national honor?
At that time, it is estimated that there is no need for the big boss of the General Administration to take action, and the saliva of the people of the whole country alone will drown themselves......
It's hard......
Why was it that such a monster was recruited into the national team by accident......
