Chapter 32: Ten Years
The story in this article is purely fictional, please do not sit in the opposite seat, if there is any similarity, it must be a coincidence.
Qiu Suhui quickly stepped into the role, and he was conscientious in his role as a teaching assistant, which made Adrianse feel a lot more at ease. Stehl is a very hard-working assistant, and he can faithfully complete the tasks you give you, but he doesn't have anything of his own. Qiu Suhui is different, he can bring a lot of good things, he also knows that different people use different ways to teach them according to their aptitude, he is a diligent thinker.
Ten years of study have not been in vain, and Adrianse is happy for him.
But what makes Adrianse the happiest is Qiu Suhui's nationality, because he is also Chinese, Qiu Suhui can speak fluent Chinese, and there is no communication barrier between him and Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, which can give them more help and guidance. Adriansey has privately handed over Zhang Jun and Yang Pan to Qiu Suhui to be responsible. You must know that it is not only excellent players who come out of Ajax, but also excellent coaches, and Qiu Suhui is the brand-name product stamped with the seal of "excellent products, approved to leave the factory".
Zhang Jun and Yang Pan also welcomed this compatriot coach very much, and almost never left or right. In training, they are always under special care from Qiu Suhui - very strict requirements.
"Coach, will you go to our place for dinner?" Yang Pan put on his coat and extended an invitation to Qiu Suhui, who had accompanied them down from the training ground.
"Me?" Qiu Suhui was a little surprised.
"Yes! Uncle Wang's Chinese food is very delicious. You've been in Europe for so long, you must not have eaten any hometown food, right? Zhang Jun said.
Qiu Suhui rubbed his nose, in fact, Chinese restaurants have long been all over Europe, as long as there are Chinese people, there are Chinese restaurants. If he wants to eat Chinese food, he can find a random Chinese restaurant to solve the problem, and he is not a foodie who travels all over the world. But the kindness of the two children and Mr. Wang was difficult, and it would be considered impolite to refuse someone else's invitation, so he nodded: "Okay! ”
Qiu Suhui soon discovered that dinner was just an excuse, but that the two children were interested in his experience and wanted him to tell them about it. He himself was indeed happy to tell them about the experience. He thinks it will be very useful for them to get in touch with the football style everywhere and gain some knowledge.
So, on the table, plates of steaming and fragrant food were reduced to supporting roles, but the chef didn't care about it at all, and he was also very interested in Qiu Suhui's experience.
Speaking of the name Qiu Suhui, it is not unfamiliar to the older generation of Chinese fans. In Chinese football in the early and mid-eighties, he was another way to write "genius". Just think about it, at the second World Youth Championship in 1983, he was named one of the world's six "hopeful stars" by FIFA, along with Van Basten (vanbasten) and Bebeto, and was selected into the best team of world football (this is the highest honor won by Chinese footballers in the world), you will know what kind of character he is.
94 years ago, before Chinese football was professionalized, there were already two players who could be called world-class: one was Rong Zhixing, the Chinese football king who was once called the most world-class star in the Chinese team by Pele (Pele). In September 1977, the star-studded New York Cosmos team came to China, and they played two games in Yanjing, Shanghai and China. In the first game, the two sides played to a 1:1 draw. In the second game, the Cosmos team lost 1:2. Pelé praised China's No.11: "His dribbling, shooting and playmaking skills are just outstanding! After the game, he also took the initiative to exchange jerseys with the number 11. At that time, the No. 11 of the Chinese team was Rong Zhixing, who had the title of "Chinese Football King".
The other is Qiu Suhui, who is now sitting in front of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan.
In 1983, at the World Youth Championships, the youth team led by Zhang Zhicheng scored in the top eight in history, and a number of main players in the team, such as Qiu Suhui, Jia Li, Liu Haitao, etc., became the generation of Chinese football in the future. As a right winger, he was known as the 'Fast Horse' with great speed and was excellent at shooting and crossing, with agility and a knack for catching opportunities.
With his rise to fame at the World Youth Championships, he was selected for the national team at the age of 20, which was a very good result in Chinese football at that time. In 1984, he came to the Netherlands with the Chinese team for a friendly visit match, and then he was recommended by the head coach of the national team to stay at the Dutch club Zvaru for two months. At that time, it was Adrianse who was in charge of the Zvaru club.
Later, due to institutional reasons, there was no example of Chinese players playing abroad, so Qiu Suhui only studied and trained, and could not play. Two months later, he was called back by the Chinese Football Association.
Although Qiu Suhui only stayed in the Netherlands for two months before returning to China, he was already deeply fascinated by Dutch football and European football. The attitude of the Europeans towards football made him feel that it was simply a football paradise, the paradise that he longed for so deeply......
But the sad thing about genius is that he's a genius. Qiu Suhui's excellent skills, coupled with the influence of European football in the Netherlands, have improved his consciousness in an all-round way, and he is naturally the most headache for opponents in domestic competitions. As a result, in order to win, many teams have resorted to lethal tactics, as long as Qiu Suhui has the ball, the defenders often use all means, including fouls, to stop him. At that time, the punishment for fouls such as flying tackles and tackles in the back was nowhere near as severe as it is today, so he was always scarred at the end of every game. Because of the frequent aggression by opponents, Qiu Suhui has been suffering from minor injuries and has not been able to play many games, but as long as he is on the court, he will definitely be able to pose a threat to the opponent. No matter how ferocious the opponent's aggression is, he is defending a motto of his predecessor Rong Zhixing with practical actions: "The best way to retaliate against the opponent's aggression is to kick the football into their goal." ”
I believe that many Chinese football people will never forget the unforgettable "5.19 incident", which was the most unforgettable and tragic experience of Chinese football. On May 19, 1985, the national team coached by Zeng Xuelin went to the World Cup again. At that time, the Chinese team was the runner-up of the Asian Cup, and the team had Asian stars such as Jia Li, Gu Ming, and Liu Haitao. However, the result was enough to surprise anyone, and the mighty Chinese team lost 1-2 to the tiny Hong Kong team after dominating the whole game. Fans wept bitterly over this, besieged players from both sides, smashed public facilities, attacked foreigners, and demanded dialogue with the leaders of the Football Association, causing a sensational "May 19 incident". Afterwards, Zeng Xuelin took the initiative to take responsibility and resigned as the head coach of the Chinese team.
It was also a memorable match for Qiu Suhui, who was not selected for the national team and could not represent the national team in the World Cup qualifiers due to injury. So he watched the Chinese team lose 1:2 to the weak Hong Kong in front of the TV, watched the fans cry bitterly, and watched the old coach Zeng Xuelin tearfully resign as the head coach of the Chinese team...... None of this has anything to do with him, he just watched, watched, did nothing, couldn't do anything......
Many of you may remember the Sansiro on August 17, 1995, "I have made the decision that I am going to terminate my football career. This short sentence shattered everyone's expectations and dreams. More than 80,000 people bid farewell to their hero, Marco vanbasten, in tears. The greatest centre-forward of the 80s and 90s suffered a bruised ankle injury from defenders, and after two unsuccessful surgeries, he had to say goodbye to football, to the greenery and to the fans who loved him at the age of 31, when the striker could have continued to create glory. Qiu Suhui was injured in the same part as Basten, but he didn't even have a chance to wave goodbye to the fans on the pitch, and he heard the death sentence for his football life at the best orthopedic hospital in Yenching.
Severely injured, the 27-year-old was swallowed up by the darkness after shining his brightest light in the night sky like a shooting star.
It is said that when Adrianse, who was in the Netherlands, heard the news of Qiu Suhui's early retirement due to injury, he was stunned for a long time, and finally muttered a sentence: "The angel with broken wings, China is not heaven, he should not go back......"
Because of the backward management system, football concept, low-level league system, and a combination of injuries, the name Qiu Suhui has since disappeared from Chinese football.
After retiring, Qiu Suhui was depressed for a while, and he also wanted to find a job to live an ordinary life, but in the end he still found that he couldn't leave football, couldn't be a player, and could still be a coach. But he doesn't coach in China, he knows too much about Chinese football. He ended up in the Netherlands, a country that fascinated him in the first place.
He also found his mentor Adrianse, who studied the basics of coaching with him, and at the same time participated in the youth football coaching training course organized by the Dutch Football Association. Half a year later, he graduated with honors, said goodbye to his mentor again, and began his own wandering journey. A year later, he met Van Gaal in Amsterdam, who was intrigued by his former World Youth Championship hope, and brought him to Ajax, where the pair volunteered to coach Ajax's youth team and in just one year took Ajax Youth League to the title of the Dutch youth league, and since then, Ajax has enjoyed the club's second glory in the early to mid-90s. In 1995, the brothers Kluivert, Davids, Seedorf and Deboer led Ajax to the European Champions Cup, and together they created another great glory for Ajax, and the heroes behind it were Qiu Suhui and Van Gaal, who was already Ajax's first-team manager at the time.
Van Gaal, who created this brilliance, was promoted to the head coach of the first team that year, and once wanted to keep Qiu Suhui in the youth team and let him become a regular. But after a year of training, Qiu Suhui found that he was still far behind, and he was not yet capable of being a head coach, so he politely declined Van Gaal's retention, telling him: "I am still very young, I want to learn." "Packed his bags and left Amsterdam.
In the decade since, Qiu has traveled almost all over Europe. Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, France, England, Spain, Italy, Portugal...... Even in Yugoslavia, where the international community sanctioned, he was alone there to learn the training of young players.
In Yugoslavia, it was a very touching experience for Qiu Suhui. On the one hand, he lamented the huge production of football talent in that land, and many young players are considered to be among the best in their European age group. On the other hand, he was saddened by the current state of the country. Due to the long-term sanctions imposed by the international community, the lives of the people are very problematic, not to mention the systematic training of young players, many teams cannot even guarantee their own survival, and even the national team cannot participate in the competition for several years because of FIFA sanctions. In that case, who cares about the teenage players?
For those young players who have emerged in large numbers, their future is only a premature one. Their parents can't afford the high cost of training and nutrition, and the club can't afford to take care of them.
Whenever he saw a young player who was temporarily on the spot, Qiu Suhui's face in Yugoslavia's New Year's friend Petvic was not joyful, but worried and helpless: "Another ...... who died young" Qiu Suhui can never forget the muttering of the poor Yugoslav old man.
The rich experience not only allowed Qiu Suhui to learn a variety of coaching methods, but also integrated them into his own practice and gradually formed a set of his own coaching style, methods and football philosophy. He was always seeing, hearing, and thinking.
We are all human beings, we are all the same age, why is there such a big difference? When he was still in China, he also met many talented peers. Dalian is a city with a great football atmosphere, but what about other places? Is it only Dalian that has geniuses? But why is it that only Dalian's players are more successful? Is it just their bad luck? Not born in Dalian?
When a player goes from being a teenager to becoming a superstar, it's really important to have a good coach. But after all, excellent coaches can only be a minority, and they can't save the majority. Yugoslavia has no shortage of good seedlings and no shortage of good coaches, but they lack a stable environment in which they can work with peace of mind.
In the past ten years, he has also returned to China several times to visit his parents and old friends. Although the environment of Chinese football has changed, its own professional league has been established, and professional teams have gradually become standardized. But the current situation of youth football is still worrying, the age of the problem is just the tip of the iceberg, want to be the infinite scenery, pinning on the countless hopes of the Chinese people after the Jianlibao football team returned from Brazil, but was beaten by the environment of Chinese football, a once brilliant flower withered in the wind and rain. In China, no matter how many good seedlings and good coaches there are, they do not have the right to speak and cannot change their fate. They do not lack a stable living environment, they lack a perfect football system, a standardized football system, and a culture that has become a part of life in Europe and South America.
The fact that Chinese football is behind the world is not a draw as some people say, or three black minutes, or someone else's calculation, not to mention the embarrassing result of conceding nine goals in three World Cup games, no goals, and no points. What is backward is a hundred years, from the system, to the norms, to the cultural environment. The drop is like a sudden drop from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into the Sichuan Basin, which is unacceptable, but it is a fact.
The closer he got to the insiders, the more he lost confidence in the future of Chinese football, and he even doubted the role of a good coach and whether the path he had chosen was the right one. He wanted to be a coach, a good coach, but in that kind of environment in China, he couldn't play at all. If you don't play match-fixing, you will be besieged and calculated; If you don't change your age, you will be considered an outlier; What kind of impact will the team you worked so hard to train be defeated by a group of "adults" who have changed their age? When the whole world is crazy, if you have to stay normal, you are really crazy. This is no longer a problem of football itself, it is a problem of the whole society and the whole environment. And these, Qiu Suhui, a small coach, is powerless. He is really afraid that after he returns to China, he will become like Petwich, who will talk about the sentence: "another ...... who died young" all day long, in that case, it will be the end of the world for him and Chinese football.
If he stays at Ajax, or any European club, in ten years' time, he will be a famous coach all over the world, with fame, money, and everything. But perhaps it was the habit of his heart, on the one hand he doubted his decision, and on the other hand he went from place to place like an ascetic, searching for answers that he might never find. Ten years later, after walking a circle, he found himself back in the Netherlands, the starting point where he had set out without hesitation. Ten years later, he still has nothing but more and more question marks, and the helplessness of knowing that it is possible but cannot do it.
He was on the verge of giving up, having just received an offer from FC Barcelona, where Louis van Gaal had re-inhabited Campnou and extended another invitation to his former protégé and assistant. An invitation from Barcelona is tempting for anyone, and Qiu Suhui has to seriously consider his future development.
It was at this time that God let him see that PSV vs. Volendam match. saw Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, and also saw the shadow of himself in the past. So, as if he had found his direction and purpose overnight, he once again politely declined Van Gaal's invitation and came to Warrendam. It felt like the pilgrims he had seen in Tibetan Province, and the devout pilgrims must have been as excited as he had been when they finally came to the holy place in their hearts.
Although the road is far away and the wind and rain are still there, Qiu Suhui has already taken a reverent step and bowed down. Because he has found the holy mountain in his heart, even if he is tired to death, he will die of exhaustion on the way to the holy mountain.
Of course, Qiu Suhui didn't tell Zhang Jun and Yang Pan all this, if they really want to know those things, they will mature in the future, and if they come into contact with them again, the impact will be much smaller. They're still young and seem to be playing happily all the time, and if possible, Qiu Suhui really hopes they can keep playing like this. He just told them about the interesting things he had traveled to and the football styles of each country, which sparked their interest in the high-level league.
In people's minds, modern football started out with golden yellow and stripes somewhat like today's volleyball. Later, with the acceleration of the commercialization of football, the appearance of football has also undergone various changes. One of the most classic is the black and white ball. It consists of 12 black pentagons and 20 white hexagons. Commercialization, utilitarianism, performance is everything, and violence is rampant in football, which has produced more and more dark sides, just like that football, there are white and black.
This is football now, there is happiness and sadness; Where there is light, there will be darkness.
Nike once launched a soccer ball with only a red Nike logo on the pure white ball — a checkmark. Qiu Suhui also hopes that Zhang Jun and Yang Pan will be like this red tick in the future, so that football will be more joyful than sad outside football. Because it looks like a smiling face when the soccer ball is straightened up.
