Chapter 57 The Coach of the National Olympic Team

…… When the reporter of this newspaper went to interview the members of the national Olympic team who are still in various clubs, they were stunned by the news.

"This can't be, it's not going to be April Fool's Day, is it?" One of the team members told the reporter, but when the reporter replied to him in the affirmative, he fell into a long silence, and then he dropped a sentence and left: "Don't interview me, my mind is messed up right now!" ”

Almost all of the team members said that their brains were confused after hearing the news, which shows how hard Shen Weiguo's sudden resignation hit them. Only one player, who did not want to be named, said: "We all know that Shen Zhi is under a lot of pressure and he always takes it alone. He's a good guy, I don't know why Shen Zhi resigned? We were about to play against Syria, and some time ago during the training camp, he told us that he must take us to Athens. The reporter called Shen Weiguo, but no one answered the landline, and the mobile phone was turned off......

"You must take us to Athens......" Qiu Suhui muttered, tossing the newspaper aside and stretching. That's a good saying! It's a pity that he died before he left the school, which made the hero cry...... "I can't tell if he is really sorry or mocking something."

"Xiao Qiu, do you really think that Shen Weiguo resigned for physical reasons?" Hu Li said next to him.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know...... Huh-ow-" Qiu Suhui yawned and stood up: "Old Hu, let's go training." ”

"Huh? You don't have to 'scout the enemy' today? Hu Li is a little strange, this is the first time in this competition that Qiu Suhui did not appear on the training ground on the last day before the game.

"Everything that should be observed has been observed, and the rest of the finals will be observed."

The team sat and warmed up under the leadership of the physical coach, while Qiu Suhui and Hu Li stood on the side and watched. After the team warmed up, he walked up.

"Can anyone tell me what Sunday's game is?" Qiu Suhui stood in front of the team members and asked loudly.

The players have become accustomed to Coach Qiu's style of "knowing and pretending to be confused", and one of them replied loudly: "Coach, it's the final!" ”

"Well, what finals?"

"U21 final!"

"What do you get if you win? Answer me out loud! ”

"National Champion!!" All the team members replied impassionedly.

"You've got a knack for boosting morale." Hu Li praised on the side, but Qiu Suhui's next words almost made him fall on his head.

"Excellent! Now forget what you just said! Qiu Suhui's face was serious, and it didn't look like a joke. I want you to keep in mind that this is just an ordinary U21 game, and it is nothing compared to the various competitions that you may encounter in the future. Give your all, play at the level you deserve, and you will win the games you deserve! Well, after a five-minute break, let's get back to training! Qiu Suhui waved his hand.

"Xiao Qiu, I don't understand what you just ......"

Qiu Suhui handed the corner cone to a coach, then lowered his head and wrote something quickly in his notebook. While writing, he answered Hu Li's question: "Those children are just a U21 final, which makes some people get carried away and some people are nervous." Without saying a word, I'm afraid they won't even be able to find the goal when they play. ”

"How do you see that?"

"Lao Hu, when you were warming up just now, didn't you notice that their movements were a little stiff and out of shape?"

Hu Li thought about it carefully: "Your eyes are so sharp. ”

"Hehe, I've made it a habit. For young people, it is the biggest dereliction of duty for a coach to give them technical guidance and ignore their thinking. I reworked my training plan for the two days, from two exercises a day to one training day, but the training intensity was more intense and more content. You see, are there any problems? Qiu Suhui put the pen away, and then handed the notebook to Hu Li.

Hu Li looked at it: "It's a big problem." It's going to be a game soon, but the plan you made is too intense, and after so many games, the players' physical fitness is not very good, so it's easy to get injured in training! ”

"That's why I changed to practice once a day, let them rest in the morning and practice again in the afternoon. At this point, it's not just our team that is tired, it's the other side as well. But I think it's the mental slack that is the most terrible thing than the physical fatigue. Also, remember when I said that they are generally in a bad state of mind? I'm going to use high-intensity training to make them tired and tired to be proud, not to be nervous. Hey hey ......"

Hu Li looked at Qiu Suhui's training plan: "Speaking of caring about this game, don't you also care about it?" ”

"Huh?"

"Why don't you come and coach them three days in advance?" Hu Li glanced at Qiu Suhui.

"Huh? Ha! Qiu Suhui laughed dryly twice, and finally came up with a reason to explain. I let the players relax so that they can play better on the field, but if the coaches are relaxed, the game will not be played to know the result. So for the coach, every game is a final. The pressure of the coach is not enough to be humane to the outside! ”

"Reasonable!" Although Hu Li did not admit defeat on his lips, he agreed with Qiu Suhui's statement in his heart. Think of the big professional coaches who have been hospitalized due to stress or have simply left the coaching profession. After a Bundesliga coach took up his sixth job, a reporter asked him: "If you were a journalist, what questions would you ask yourself?" The coach replied dryly, "In the words my father used to ask me: 'When will you learn to be smarter?' ’……”

Liverpool boss Houllier was hospitalised with a heart attack, and the Hamburg manager made a startling statement in a press conference after the defeat: "Is there anything else you have to ask before I hang myself?" "Even an optimistic old boy like Milou had a brief fainting in the toilet during the halftime break of the top 10 away to Qatar.

If you love him, let him be a coach because that's heaven.

If you hate him, let him be a coach because that's hell.

Looking at the rain falling outside the car window, Chen Wei's heart could not be put down steadily. He boasted about Haikou in front of Luo Wenqiang, saying that within a week, Qiu Suhui would be the head coach of the National Olympic team. But in fact, he only had a one-sided relationship with Qiu Suhui in that work meeting, and the two didn't even say a word. Why did he say that he moved the other party? The position of the head coach of the National Olympic team is a hot potato at this time, and not everyone dares to take it. In less than a month, it is almost impossible to re-familiarize yourself with the team and lead it to victory over Qatar and reach the finals. Besides, there is another important point, the salary of the head coach of the national Olympic team is really pitiful, and people are now proud of the spring breeze in the club, is it possible to come?

It seems that he can only put down the shelf, lower his attitude, and use the national righteousness as the main reason to convince Coach Qiu, who has been in Europe for many years.

"Xiao Fang, hurry up again!" Chen Wei rubbed his temples and said.

When an inconspicuous black Passat quietly drove into the Kunming Honghe training base in the dark of night, the sleepy-eyed security guard naturally did not know, does this mean that an era of Chinese football will start in this storm?

At this time, Qiu Suhui was sitting in the dormitory with hot coffee, chatting with Hu Li.

"Tomorrow is the finals, you actually let the players have a day off today, aren't you afraid that they won't be able to catch up tomorrow afternoon?"

Qiu Suhui spread his hands: "God doesn't appreciate faces, training in this cold and damp weather is more likely to get injured, just give them a day off and relax their minds...... We've been tightening them for two days now. As the saying goes, there is a way to relax! ”

"I really don't understand, the coach in Dalian has been practicing for an hour, and he insists on leading the team to train in the rain......"

"Haha!" Qiu Suhui laughed, "At least from the pre-game mentality, we have already won!" ”

The phone rang at this time, and Qiu Suhui picked it up: "Hey, I'm Qiu Suhui...... Well, let them in. ”

"Got guests?" Hu Li waited for Qiu Suhui to put down the phone before asking.

"Hehe, a friend from afar." Qiu Suhui said with a smile.

"In this case, then I won't bother you, I'll go back and rest." Hu Li got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Qiu Suhui: "Old Hu, don't go, this matter is also related to you, sit down and listen." ”

"Something to do with me?" Looking at Qiu Suhui's mysterious smile, I felt that this "friend" was not an ordinary friend, and this matter would not be an ordinary thing. He hesitated, then sat down again.

When Hu Li saw Chen Wei, his shock was indescribable: their top boss! What is he doing here? It doesn't seem like you need to come in the middle of the night to inspect the work, right?

Chen Wei was also surprised when he saw Hu Li: "This is ......"

"Hehe, he is my most trusted and capable assistant." Qiu Suhui smiled, the meaning couldn't be clearer: What do you say in front of the two of us.

Chen Wei looked at Qiu Suhui and then at Hu Li, and finally decided to believe what Qiu Suhui said - that is, the person was his assistant, not a reporter from a certain media - and he turned his gaze to Qiu Suhui again: "Coach Qiu, there is not much time, I don't think I will be polite." ”

"Well, I don't like those stuff either."

"Coach Qiu, I think you should know the purpose of my visit." Chen Wei called Qiu Suhui "you", and he really respected him at home, and he put down the shelf at home, and he got home with a low attitude.

"Yes, I've read the newspapers." Qiu Suhui nodded.

"So, can you tell me your answer?"

Qiu Suhui pondered for a while, in fact, the answer was already in his heart, but he deliberately made this attitude so that he could have room for bargaining when signing the contract in the future. If you are too eager, you will be caught by the Football Association with the handle of "you can't wait". "This ......," he replied hesitantly, "tomorrow is the final, and I'm all about that game right now." ”

"I understand, I can give you a week to think about it." Chen Wei hurriedly said, "There is one more thing, I hope you must agree." After the U21 final, the Football Association's Youth Office organises a short seminar for U21 coaches. I recommend you as the lecturer for this lecture, what do you think? Chen Wei can be said to be the most vocal and undignified vice chairman of the Football Association.

"Lectures?"

"Yes, a two-day seminar dedicated to the development of young players. It won't take up much of your time. ”

"Since it's for youth football, I won't shirk it. But I'd like to extend it to a week, two days is too short to say anything substantial. In a week, I can't fundamentally improve everyone's training level, but I can make them make fewer mistakes. It's time to show his strength, so Qiu Suhui agreed without hesitation, and seemed very enthusiastic - he is wholeheartedly dedicated to Chinese football!

Chen Wei didn't expect Qiu Suhui to agree so quickly, he is not a difficult person to get along with as reported by the media.

"Well, that's a deal! And about that, please think about it carefully. Chen Wei looked down at his watch, and the hour hand was already pointing to one o'clock in the morning. There's a final tomorrow, so I won't bother. Good luck! He got up and was about to leave.

"Leaving in such a hurry? Chairman Chan won't sit a little longer? Qiu Suhui got up to stay, even though he knew that it was impossible for the other party to stay.

"No, I still have to rush back to Yanjing, and the Football Association is also busy! It's all that incident......" Chen Wei said halfway through his words and turned around to leave.

"I'll send Chairman Chen." Qiu Suhui grabbed an umbrella and followed out, Hu Li was stunned, and followed out.

At the door of the dormitory building, Chen Wei looked at the sky that was still raining: "This rain doesn't stop, tomorrow's game against Dalian is very difficult, right?" ”

"Huh! I am from Dalian, and I know a lot about Dalian football. We are confident and confident of winning tomorrow's final. Qiu Suhui replied while holding an umbrella for Chen Wei.

"That's good, to win the first championship in China! I'm leaving, so go back and rest early. Chen Wei was about to drill into the car, but was stopped by Qiu Suhui.

"Chairman Chen, don't call me 'you' in the future, I can't stand it. Just call me Xiaoqiu. ”

Chen Wei looked at Qiu Suhui and said with a smile: "Then don't call me 'chairman' or 'chairman' in the future, I'm three years older than you, you can just call me Lao Chen, haha!" Chen Wei patted Qiu Suhui on the shoulder, he knew that there would be no problem with that matter, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart. Because Qiu Suhui was not very friendly to him at first, and even a little arrogant, but now his attitude is obviously different. "Good luck to you!" After saying that, he got into the car, closed the door, and the car slowly left.

Originally, according to Qiu Suhui's surname, he would not be called a brother and sister to the people of the Football Association, but Chen Wei was different. is of a similar age and does not put on an official show, which made Qiu Suhui feel good after coming into contact with him. And the most important point, Qiu Suhui thinks that this Chen Wei is a person who wants to make a name for himself. It can be said that there is no disagreement between the two on this point.

When Chen Wei walked away, Qiu Suhui and Hu Li turned around and went back to the house.

"Xiao Qiu, what is he talking about? How can it be related to me? Hu Li, who had been silent, finally had a chance to ask this question, and his mind was now full of question marks.

"Hehe, Lao Hu, if you are asked to be the assistant coach of the national Olympic team, are you interested?" Qiu Suhui smiled at Hu Li.

The spring rain has not stopped for four days, and there is only a slight change in the amount of rainfall. Qiu Suhui's Henan team jersey has been wet from the rain, and this is his second sportswear, which he has just changed at halftime. Not only his clothes, but his hair, eyebrows, the tip of his nose, and his chin were covered with droplets.

Hu Li could feel that Qiu Suhui beside him was indeed nervous, which could be seen from his serious expression and the occasional spasmodic contraction of facial muscles. The game played 70 minutes, and the score was still 0:0. The powerful Dalian team almost pressed the Henan team in the indiscriminate bombardment, if it wasn't for Sima Hongxin and Liu Peng's excellent performance, now the scoreboard doesn't know how many times to refresh it.

Wu Shangshan, who ranked in the top three in Qiu Suhui's investigation materials, this Dalian striker whose ancestral home is Ningde, Fujian, threatened Sima Hongxin's gate again and again. Every time he shot, it was as if Qiu Suhui's heart was pounding hard.

The pitch was slippery, but Wu Shangshan was still the brightest player on the pitch, and his pace almost disrupted the entire Henan team's backline.

Again! The midfielder of the Dalian team made a direct pass, and Wu Shang inserted it with good understanding and broke through! Liu Peng made a sharp turn and slipped under his feet, but he still stretched out his long legs to interfere with the opponent's shot. Wu Shangshan still shot with his feet when the angle was not large, and the ball hit Liu Peng's toes out of the bottom line.

Liu Peng was pulled up from the muddy water by Sima Hongxin: "Good job!" He patted Liu Peng on the head, and Liu Peng loudly asked his teammates to hurry up and stand up.

Wu Shangshan knocked the mud on the soles of his shoes, looked up at the No. 5 wearing the captain's armband, he thought that he had just accelerated and thrown off the entire back line, but he didn't expect the opponent to block his shot. The No. 5 was broken by himself several times throughout the game, but he couldn't successfully hit the goal once. Seeing that he didn't have a clean jersey on his body, he was much more embarrassed than himself. But he knows that the No. 5 has never been at a disadvantage, and he is worthy of being the captain of the Henan team and the best defensive player Liu Peng.

The Dalian team took a corner kick, and Liu Peng once again grabbed the ball in front of Wu Shangshan and pushed the ball out.

Another ten minutes passed, and the head coach of the Dalian team began to lose his breath. He walked to the sidelines and shouted to the players to press, press! Qiu Suhui won again in terms of Nai, and he saw the opposing coach standing up and walking around the command area without stopping, with a subtle smile on his face.

In the eighty-ninth minute, the Henan team finally waited for an opportunity after nearly 90 minutes of embarrassment. The Dalian team pressed hard, because if it was overtime, both sides could not bear it physically. Liu Peng successfully grabbed Wu Shangshan's ball in a one-on-one, when Wu Shangshan tried to use his speed to force Liu Peng, but Liu Peng only turned sideways and stuck the position, and the ball was easily broken. Immediately afterwards, Liu Peng kicked into the frontcourt, and the remaining players of the Dalian team jumped up recklessly but did not reach the ball, and they were on top! The Henan team striker Wang Yu who kept up easily got the ball, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper Feng Lin to shoot an empty goal!

The ball is in! Henan scored the ball in the last minute with a counterattack! 1:0 lead Dalian team! Wang Yu, who scored the goal, ran to the coach's seat very excitedly and hugged Qiu Suhui to celebrate, but Qiu Suhui was also mushed into a mud monkey by a group of mud monkeys.

Qiu Suhui was only excited when he scored, and then regained his composure, until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, he just got up and applauded, turned around and shook hands with the lost Dalian coach. But Hu Li was happy to jump and jump like an old child. He has been working in Henan Zhongyuan Club for five years, and it is the first time he has seen such a glorious moment for the team.

Of course, the most excited are actually the players. Half a year ago, when the head coach suddenly stepped down, they didn't know what the future awaited them. But now they are national winners of the Under-21 rankings. Since 1989, Henan football has never been able to win any youth championship in the country, and the glorious "Central Plains Tigers" have gradually declined with the process of professionalization. Now, their performance seems to have made those who care about Henan football see the roaring tiger again.

And all of this should be attributed to the coach who came from afar, Qiu Suhui.

Liu Peng had a gold medal around his neck, the championship trophy and the best player trophy in his arms, and returned to the dormitory with a happy face, followed by a group of equally happy teammates, who rushed into the dormitory building singing and dancing.

Qiu Suhui and Hu Li deliberately fell behind, and the two walked slowly. "Lao Hu, how did you think about that matter?"

Hu Li watched the happy figure of the group of children disappear into the building: "I have thought about it, thank you very much for your trust and recognition of my ability." But I can't bear this group of children, many of whom I have watched with my own eyes. ”

"I understand that a five-year relationship is not something that can be clarified overnight."

"To be honest, my surname is too straightforward, and people who usually offend me may not know it, so I have always been an assistant coach."

Qiu Suhui smiled, it turned out that he knew!

"However, it is not only a blessing for those children to meet you, but also a blessing for me. I've learned a lot from you, and I may never be able to catch up with you, but I'm still confident that I won't let these kids fall into my hands. ”

"Hehe, don't say it's like parting with life and death, I'm just going to be a coach of the National Olympic team, we are not separated by life and death!"

Hu Li smiled embarrassedly.

"So you've decided to stay in the Central Plains?"

Hu Li nodded.

"It's okay, everyone has their own ambitions. I'm not reluctant, but I don't know if I'll be able to meet such a good assistant as you! Qiu Suhui sighed.

"Don't you want to think about how you're going to say goodbye to those kids?"

"Farewell? Hehe, as soon as the Football Association ordered me to leave, did you still let me send them off in tears? Ha ha! Qiu Suhui laughed halfway through and remembered the faces of the players, who were the first players he came into contact with in China. All of them are simple and cute, and they are a little silly...... His heart hurt as if it had been pricked by a needle, and he stopped laughing and was silent for a moment. "I'm going to talk to them about something......" he muttered.
