On September 26, 2007, in the third round of the French League Cup, Bordeaux, who had been on the bench, lost 1:2 to Metz as a matter of course, ending the 2007/2008 French League Cup journey.

The Bordeaux manager and most of the players didn't feel anything, Blanco had planned to focus on Ligue 1, and now that he had lost the game, Bordeaux was preparing for the next game. A week later, Bordeaux will be at home to the second leg of the third round of Europa League qualifying, and with a 3-1 win away from home, the second leg is not a big problem.

On this day, Liu Ting had just come out of the Clairefontaine training base, and Jacques Pierre, who was guarding the door, stopped Liu Ting: "Hey, Liu, there is a reporter over there who wants to interview you." ”

Liu Ting thought it was those entertainment reporters who wanted to interview him, and after the recent incident with Léa Seydoux was reported, some reporters did come to interview Liu Ting, and some ran to interview Seydoux, but Liu Ting and Seydoux are only a little famous in their own fields, and they have not attracted much attention, and this kind of news is not enough, and it only occupies a small corner of the entertainment newspaper.

Liu Ting realized that he had guessed wrong when he saw the person who wanted to interview him.

"Hello, Liu Ting, I'm Li Yuyang, a reporter from "Chinese Football", can I take a moment for you to interview you?" Standing opposite Liu Ting was a Chinese, not the French entertainment reporter he thought, listening to the other party's French with a little Chinese flavor, Liu Ting was a little crying and laughing.

"It's a pleasure to be interviewed by you, but hopefully you can hurry up, we have a game tomorrow, so we have to go back and rest early." Liu Ting replied directly in Chinese.

The reporter named Li Yuyang was obviously taken aback, he didn't expect Liu Ting to not only speak Chinese, but also speak it very well.

"I didn't expect you to speak Chinese so well, not at all like a European Chinese, but more like an authentic Chinese." Li Yuyang sighed, and then asked in Chinese: "Liu Ting, can you briefly tell us about your situation?" Where are your parents from China? ”

"My father is Hong Kong and my mother is half Monegasque with Chinese ancestry, so I am three-quarters Chinese and one-quarter European." Liu Ting said simply.

"So where did you study football in Europe?" Li Yuyang continued to ask, but he obviously hadn't looked for French newspapers in advance, otherwise these problems would have been reported in French newspapers.

'I went through the academy at Barcelona.

"Then why didn't you stay at Barcelona and come to France instead?"

"Because Barcelona didn't give me a professional contract, I came to Bordeaux."

"Will you go back to Barcelona in the future?"

"I'm fine at Bordeaux and I'm not thinking about a transfer for the time being. Okay, it's almost time for today, I'm going back to rest. ”

'Last question, will you be playing for tomorrow's Europa League qualifiers?'

"I don't know, it depends on the manager's arrangement, but the coach is likely to arrange rotation, and there is not much chance of playing."

Looking at the back of Liu Ting's departure, Li Yuyang thought in his heart that he had really come to the right place this time, and he had dug up such a selling topic.

Li Yuyang was originally sent by "Chinese Football" to the Bundesliga Ketbus team to report on Shao Jiayi, but Shao Jiayi's condition in Ketbus was not very good, and the team's head coach Sandel did not like Shao Jiayi, which made his situation in Ketbus not very good, and he could only get some substitute time in every game.

Li Yuyang had nothing to do in the Bundesliga, and no one could do anything if Shao Jiayi was not liked by the head coach, and they could only make up some reasons why Shao Jiayi was not liked or what kind of performance Shao Jiayi would have if he could get the opportunity to send the news back to China, anyway, they were all obscene reports, or they were criticizing Ketbus coach Sandel.

Originally, Li Yuyang was the same, he could inadvertently 'borrow' the reports of the German media, and saw a French newspaper published in French, and there are also some French people in Germany, such a newspaper can have a small amount of sales, and there is a market for it. Li Yuyang saw a lot of words of 'Chinese teenagers' in this newspaper, and he immediately found a lot of French newspapers to look back, and found that there was a young Chinese who played in Bordeaux in Ligue 1 and performed well in the last two games.

Li Yuyang gave up the report on Shao Jiayi to his colleagues, and went directly to Bordeaux to look for big news. Now it seems that it is really a big news, Shao Jiayi's matter is known in China, and there are many Chinese media waiting to report it in Germany, even if Ketbus has changed the coach now that Shao Jiayi is likely to have more opportunities under the new coach, it is not as good as this news, Liu Ting's matter is absolutely unique, there must be a market when sent back to China, and Liu Ting's experience is also very interesting, Barcelona was born in the academy, and after being swept away, he performed well in Bordeaux, this is the reality version of the genius reduced to waste, and then it was Diaosi counterattack.

Liu Ting's ability to speak Chinese is also a highlight.

At this moment, Li Yuyang sighed in his heart, it is really important to know more foreign languages, if he hadn't taken French during college, wouldn't he have missed this good opportunity to succeed now? He didn't know his French at all, and if Liu Ting wasn't a Chinese French with a Chinese accent, others might not be able to understand what he was saying.

Thinking of this, Li Yuyang quickly took out his mobile phone and called back to China.

"Hey, editor-in-chief, I found a big news here, there is a Chinese player in the Bordeaux team in Ligue 1 who plays here, and he is doing very well, and he is a ...... from the La Masia Academy"

Soon, Li Yuyang found a lot of newspapers in France that had reported on Liu Ting, and sent the news about Liu Ting, family background, youth training background, and how he got to Bordeaux back to China.

In the summer of this year, the Chinese team was out of the group stage of the Asian Cup, which made Chinese football sink into the dark abyss, and I don't know when we will see the light of hope.

Zhang Qiming is an employee of back-end management in a network company, he has been playing football since junior high school, at that time it was the time when the Chinese A League was booming, and the year he was admitted to university was the first time that China entered the World Cup finals, although in the end the Chinese team did not score a goal in the World Cup, which made Zhang Qiming very sad at the time, but he figured it out afterwards, the first time, the poor results should be deserved, no experience. Not everyone can perform well the first time, and a strong football country may not be able to achieve good results in the first World Cup, let alone a weak country.

England's first participation in the World Cup was also unable to qualify from the group, the football kingdom Brazil could not qualify for the first two World Cups, and the Greek team was worse than the Chinese team when it participated in the World Cup for the first time in 1994, and did not score a goal to swallow ten eggs, but 10 years later, in 2004, the Greek team won the European Cup as a dark horse.

In Asia, the South Korean team, which has been suppressing China in football and making the Chinese team suffer from Koreanphobia, was also miserable in the first World Cup, losing 0:7 to Turkey and Hungary 0:9, fortunately the World Cup system was more strange at that time, the weak team lost two games and did not need to play, but the strong team may have several games in the group stage, and the group stage was tied and had to be divided in overtime, and the same points were added to determine the ranking, so the weak South Korea only had to lose two games and escape without playing with the strong team Germany in the same group, Otherwise, you may lose even worse.

The football history of the Japanese team is also blood and tears, 94 years of impact on the World Cup, the Japanese team suffered a 'black thirty seconds', when the Japanese team won the last round of qualifiers at home to enter the World Cup finals for the first time, home Japan led Iraq 2:1 until the final stage of stoppage time, the referee has frequently looked at the watch to blow the whistle to end the game, but the Iraqi team's Osim equalized with a header at this time, and the Japanese team was blocked out of the World Cup finals. After the game, the Japanese all thought that they only needed to hold on for 30 seconds, and the referee would definitely blow the whistle within 30 seconds. And Japan's first World Cup trip in '98 was also a three-game defeat and a slippery return.

However, South Korea's old leader Ju North Korea reached the quarterfinals for the first time in the World Cup, and Italy was eliminated from the group as a dark horse in the group stage. In the quarterfinals, he also led Portugal 2:0 at the beginning, but then the outbreak of Black Panther Eusebio finally caused North Korea to lose to Portugal 3:5.

Therefore, Zhang Qiming feels that the results of the Chinese team in the first World Cup cannot be too demanding, and he is not the leader of the Football Association who wants the Chinese team to win how many goals he wants the Chinese team to win with a pat on his head. Who knows that soon Chinese football fell into a long-term dark chaos, after the 02 World Cup fiasco and the 04 Asian Cup final lost to Japan at home, Chinese football is becoming more and more chaotic, match-fixing black whistles are endless, now the Asian Cup group stage can not qualify, it is really Wang Xiaoer's New Year, year is not as good as a year, old fans like Zhang Qiming do not pay much attention to the Chinese league, look at the European League when it's okay, but the national team is stepping into the past, as a Chinese, I don't watch the national team games, and my heart is empty, and I panic when I watch it.

When Zhang Qiming went out, he bought a football newspaper casually on the side of the road, and he mainly paid attention to the situation of the European League. Well, "Chinese Football", the largest circulation of football professional newspaper in China, when you open the newspaper, you will see a headline on the front page - "Chinese players shine in Ligue 1, and the future of the division is promising".

This report immediately attracted Zhang Qiming's attention, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a Chinese young player from the Barcelona Academy, named Liu Ting, who is not yet 19 years old, and now plays for the French team Bordeaux, and has performed well and has occupied the position of a main striker in Bordeaux.

Seeing this report, Zhang Qiming immediately thought of a post he saw on Maopu Football some time ago about "China Zidane Stunning French Ligue 1", recalling the comparison between the video in that post and the simple photos in the newspaper, it is likely to be the same person, which makes Zhang Qiming a little excited, and he must go to that forum to see and confirm it later. Among the players who have stayed abroad in China today, only Shao Jiayi of the Bundesliga and Dong Fangzhuo and Sun Jihai of the Premier League play in the five major leagues, but they are not absolute main players, only Sun Jihai can get a lot of opportunities, and now there is another player worth paying attention to.

At the same time, the cat pounced on the Internet and made a lot of noise, and the already sunken post "China Zidane Stunning French Ligue 1" became popular again.

"I didn't expect that there was really a Chinese playing in Bordeaux? I used to think that this video was a fake video made by others for entertainment.,It's said that those who play the computer can use the previous game video to make a video of Real Madrid's 10:0 win against Barcelona.,If you don't understand, you'll be deceived.,If you don't watch the video carefully, it's definitely fake.。 ”

"I just don't know if "Chinese Football" has been touted too much? The Chinese media always turn on the nonsense and blowing the sea as soon as there is a player who performs better. ”

"Chinese Football" can also be blown, but the festival is still a little bit, unlike the "Sports Weekly" directly blows without edge, for example, if a Chinese player goes to a club in Europe to try, when he arrives at "Sports Weekly", he is already a direct transfer and is about to become a star or something, so there should be a Chinese who plays the main force in Bordeaux, as for whether there is a newspaper that says so badly, it still needs to be confirmed."

"Monaco Chinese? Isn't Monaco super hard to immigrate? Those who can immigrate are generally very wealthy. ”

"People emigrated in more than nine years, and it wasn't so difficult at that time, and didn't he have a father who opened a company before? It's just that he died later, from the rich second generation to an ordinary person, and he could only play football to find a way. ”

"It is said that he was born in La Masia, and I don't know if I can go back to Barcelona to play in the future."

"Fuck off!!"

"The royal dog's rough roll!!"

……

Soon, another forum scuffle began.

At the same time, the boss of the headquarters of "Sports Weekly" is furious, what they Sports Weekly is best at is to find those players who play in Europe to be touted in China, in addition to those few famous international players who stay abroad, there are always some Chinese who follow their parents to work abroad or immigrate abroad to play in Europe, although these basically have no powerful players, but they can't stand the "Sports Weekly" will blow ah, this blow will be paid attention to, attention will be sold.

Now that there is such a Chinese player, it seems that he is still very powerful, "Sports Weekly" has not gotten any news at all, step by step behind, today's sales have completely suppressed "Chinese Football", you must know that although most of the time "Chinese Football" sales are higher than "Sports Weekly", but it is also limited, but today it is directly higher than more than ten percentage points, as the boss is not angry.
