The reporters who were covering the U21s from the sidelines looked at the scoreboard in disbelief, 4-0, and the score was refreshed again a minute ago. This is the third time that the Central Plains Youth Team has scored more than three goals. Qiu Suhui, who was very low-key at the beginning of the group stage, also changed his cautious attitude and opened his mouth to talk about "our goal is the national championship" and "the strength of the Central Plains to win the championship"...... I really don't understand this guy who has returned from the Netherlands.

The most plausible explanation for this change is that Qiu Suhui has been playing "Lost Trace Boxing" before, relying on his performance at the beginning of the group stage to confuse his opponents.

What makes reporters even more incomprehensible is that as the head coach of the Central Plains Youth Team, he did not lead the team to train after the game, but threw the burden to the assistant coach Hu Li, and then shuttled through various fields. You don't need to investigate all the other 31 teams participating in the tournament to gather intelligence, right?

This man who doesn't smile in front of reporters, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

Whatever the man was going to do, the two players in the Central Plains team still excited reporters who had seen many Chinese players. What's going on with Chinese football lately? Volcanic eruptions? Why do excellent young players pop up all at once? First, there were Zhang Jun and Yang Pan in the Netherlands, and now there is a Liu Peng and a Sima Hongxin in the U21. Could it be that the professional football that the Football Association has been advocating has finally come to fruition?

"Phew!" A reporter spat on the ground.

Lin Feng, a native of Taishan, Guangdong, is nineteen years old, and his position is in the front waist. He is 1.7 meters tall and weighs 56 kilograms. Features: delicate footwork, good at dribbling, outstanding personal ability. However, the sense of teamwork is not strong, he likes to fight alone, he is considered by the coach to be a good performer, and his tactical literacy is not qualified, so he is basically abandoned.

Li Jie, a native of Huai'an, Jiangsu, is 20 years old and has a position as a striker. He is 1.86 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms. Features: Tall, strong header ability, strong impact. But there is a lack of speed, rough underfoot.

Wu Shangshan, a native of Dalian, Liaoning, is sixteen years old and has a position as a striker. He is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms. Features: Fast speed, 100 meters 11 seconds 3, excellent jumping. But inexperienced, still need to exercise, too young. However, it has basically secured the main position in the Dalian youth team.

Xiang Tao, a native of Zigong, Sichuan, is 21 years old and a defender. He is 1.83 meters tall and weighs 70 kilograms. Features: Capable of all positions on the back line, good left and right feet, fast speed. However, because the performance was too strong, it was not liked by the coach, and sometimes there were inexplicable mistakes, and he was basically a substitute in the Sichuan team.

Zhao Pengyu, a native of Yanjing, is 20 years old, and the position is left forward. He is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 68 kilograms. Features: Fast speed, 100 meters 11 seconds 43, good at breaking through with the ball. However, his passing skills are not good and his sense of coordination is not strong enough.

Wang Yu, a native of Chengdu, Sichuan, is 21 years old, and his position is at the back. He is 1.86 meters tall and weighs 72 kilograms. Characteristics: Excellent header, quick reflexes, fast speed. But the body is too thin and weak, and the ability to fight is insufficient.

Feng Lin, a native of Dalian, Liaoning, is 20 years old and a goalkeeper. He is 1.87 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms. Features: Good at saving high-altitude balls, outstanding jumping ability, but inconsistent play.

……

Looking at this twenty-page material, Hu Li was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time. Qiu Suhui was leisurely drinking coffee on the side. "U21 is nearing completion, and my investigation is almost complete."

"Your investigation?" Hu Li asked puzzledly, "Why are you investigating so many people?" Is it possible that they will all be our opponents? ”

"Hehe, Lao Hu, they are not opponents, but they are likely to become our subordinates."

"Subordinates? I don't understand. ”

Qiu Suhui didn't answer him this time, just left Hu Li with a mysterious smile.

In the semi-finals on the second day, the Central Plains Club defeated the opponent 2-0 and reached the final with a winning streak of only one goal. No one questions the strength of the Henan team anymore. As a result, Qiu Suhui's photos began to appear frequently in newspapers, and reporters began to dig into his past, especially his experience abroad. Bringing the Central Plains Youth Team, which has been unknown in China, into a team with the strength to win the championship, Qiu Suhui has become a leader among domestic youth coaches.

Looking at the newspapers printed with his own photos, Qiu Suhui muttered to himself: "If you are not completely blind, come to me, Chinese Football Association ......"

Chinese reporters gathered outside the barbed wire fence waited for Zhang Jun and Yang to be interviewed after training. But suddenly, there was a stirring among the reporters in the front row, and they all raised their cameras to shoot in the field. Because they saw that when practicing the switchback run, Zhang Jun was the first to turn around and fell to the ground. Adrianse then whistled to stop the training, and then the team doctor, Schutter, rushed onto the field.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Ahead, you're blocking me!"

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

"Zhang Jun fell to the ground, and the team doctor entered!"

Journalists were in a mess.

Five minutes later, Zhang Jun stood up, but was immediately taken off by the team doctor, and looking at the way he walked with a limp, he knew that the situation was not good. Reporters flocked to the doctor's office, but were stopped at the door of the building by the club's staff: "I'm sorry, reporters are not allowed here." ”

The reporter had no choice but to return to the training ground the same way, and only a few unwilling people were still lobbying each other.

The training continued, but obviously everyone's mood was ruined by this sudden incident, especially Yang Pan, who was in a trance during the training and made several mistakes, which was the first time in the world!

The morning training session ended hastily, and the reporters followed to the press center, hoping to get the club's account of Zhang Jun's injury. After waiting for about 15 minutes, Schutter, the team doctor, and Adrianse, the head coach, appeared in front of reporters.

"I don't think anyone wants to have this happening, but it happened anyway. Zhang Jun suffered a muscle strain in his left leg and thigh during training due to excessive physical fatigue, and the specific recovery time is yet to be determined by further detailed examination. Schuttel pushed his glasses and tried to make his tone sound calm.

"Zhang Jun is injured! 》

"Overload finally made Zhang Jun fall!" 》

"Injury recurrence, Zhang Jun will become a short-lived genius? 》

"Zhang Jun is not Superman! 》

"Another Qiu Suhui? 》

……

Sophie hung up the phone with some worry, and the more Zhang Jun told her that she was okay, the more worried she became. If he hadn't seen the newspaper himself, he wouldn't have known that Zhang Jun was injured. If she doesn't tell her anything, and she only reports good news and not bad news when she calls, can she not worry?

"Nothing, really nothing! Sophie, the doctor said, will be able to resume training in two weeks. Muscle strains are normal for players, you don't have to worry about me, Yang Pan takes care of me. ”

Zhang Jun said nothing over there, but Sophie still frowned: "Zhang Jun, do you still love me?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Jun didn't know why Sophie suddenly came up with such a sentence, and was stunned for a moment, "Love, of course ......"

"Then I beg you, no matter what happens in the future, you must tell me as soon as possible, at least not later than those reporters know, promise?"

“…… Sophie, I just don't want you to worry about ......"

"Love requires mutual trust! Don't lie to me anymore, okay? Not even a white lie. Do you do this because you don't believe me, or do you not believe in yourself? What difficulties and setbacks can't I face with you? ”

Zhang Jun lay on the bed, looking at the photo of Sophie in his hand. He didn't want Sophie to worry, but Sophie was even more worried.

Love requires mutual trust between the two parties, not a simple, casual word.

Do you not believe me, or do you not believe in yourself? What difficulties can't I face with you?

"Sophie......" Zhang Jun put the photo on his face and gently whispered. Suddenly, the phone rang.

Zhang Jun was taken aback and was stunned for two seconds before he remembered to answer the phone. "Hey, hello."

"Zhang Jun, I'm Qiu Suhui."

"Coach?" Zhang Jun was pleasantly surprised, he received a lot of condolence calls in the past two days. It was all from friends and parents, but he didn't expect Qiu Suhui, who was in China, to think about calling him.

"I called the old man and asked about you. He said that you are tired and have a muscle strain, and it is good to rest for more than a week. However, he blamed himself, saying that he only cared about the results, but forgot that you are still a newcomer, and the preliminary training was not systematic enough, resulting in insufficient physical reserves. After several fierce battles in a row, physical fatigue is inevitable. You don't blame him, do you? ”

"Where can I blame the manager? He was the one who got me into professional football. ”

"That's good, don't think about it for a while, this little injury is inevitable, it's not a big deal. Take advantage of this time to recover your physical fitness. I've heard that Warendam is in the cup final, so when you come back, take a trophy for me, and I've been with Warendam for a while, haha! ”

"Thank you for your concern, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"Haha! Don't say it so sourly. I'm also good in China, and now I'm the head coach of Henan Zhongyuan Club, guess who I've met? ”

"Can't guess."

"Hehe, your old friend, Liu Peng."

"Liu Peng?" Zhang Jun was really startled.

"Yes, he's the captain of my team now, the star player of the U21s!"

"It's good, it's good......," muttered Zhang Jun, who hadn't heard from him since graduating from high school, thinking that he had given up football, but he didn't expect him to play on another field.

"Hey, I won't bother you. Take care of your injuries and don't think nonsense. Take advantage of this time to study Dutch and try to achieve my level of fluency. ”

Zhang Jun hung up the phone, it was already late at night. He looked out the window, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. Yang Pan was already asleep on the bed on the side, it was time to rest, he had been playing football for so long, it was time to rest.

Li Yan saw the news of Zhang Jun's injury, and his heart chuckled. Although he already had some premonitions, he still had to worry about Zhang Jun, that stupid boy can't think about it!

"Who is responsible for this" was rushed out by him all night, based on the ideas of the previous article, Li Yan criticized the impetuousness of Chinese football in the comments.

"The Chinese football we are talking about here refers not only to the Football Association, coaches and players, and club CEOs, but also to our journalists and fans. The Chinese Football Association is impetuous, and for the sake of the World Cup, the domestic league is cut into three parts; The coach is impetuous and does not hesitate to change his age for the sake of the team's results; The player is impetuous, pushing the referee on the field; The CEOs are impetuous, and they do not hesitate to buy the referee for the sake of results, and play match-fixing black whistles; Fans are impetuous, think about why the troubles of fans in various places continue to be banned? Journalists are also impetuous, winning is a god, losing is a pig and a dog, all for the sake of sales. I want to ask: all parties are sacred, what are you doing football for? Football has become a girl, give money and call it, and kick it away after it's cool! In the past nine years since the professionalization of Chinese football, are there still few companies and individuals who have left football? ”

"Now that Zhang Jun is injured, the media is immediately in mourning, and some people even began to 'hurt Zhongyong'. As for it? Why can't everyone, FA officials, players, coaches, fans, journalists, and CEOs treat football with a tolerant heart? There are two kinds of people in society, one is the person who scolds Chinese football as useless; One is the insensitive, Chinese football has nothing to do with him. Do you expect these people to do a good job in Chinese football? No kidding! ”

"Now is not the time to talk about who is to blame for Zhang Jun's injury, but who is responsible for Chinese football. Some people always think that if Chinese football is not played well, it is the problem of the Football Association, the problem of the players, and the problem of the coach...... It's not about yourself. But I want to say, as long as you are a person in this circle, no one can get out of it! ”

Li Yan sat across from the large desk, and the deputy editor-in-chief was still reviewing the manuscript. After a long time, he raised his head, took off his glasses, and rubbed his eyes. "Xiao Li, you can't send this manuscript."

"Huh? Why? Li Yan suddenly didn't react.

"It can be seen that it is your brainchild's work, but the sentences in it are too extreme. There is something uncool, and this is not an article that a commentator should write. The striking surface is too large, and some words are very unpleasant, very hurtful, and easy to cause unnecessary disputes. You wrote it with a lot of emotion, right? ”

Li Yan nodded: "But I don't think I'm extreme, Chinese football needs courage medicine now." I still want to use warm medicine to make up little by little, but I'm afraid that the speed of remediation can't keep up with the speed of decay! Li Yan leaned forward.

The deputy editor-in-chief was silent for a while, and then said, "I also understand this truth. But what do you think only we can do? What role can a person's voice play? If you want to use fierce medicine, then you must dig out the roots and make a big change. That kind of situation is not what everyone wants to see. The reform is very painful, and the price paid is really huge, and the current Chinese football is not ready! ”

"Then watch the whole Chinese football rot little by little?"

The deputy editor-in-chief smiled bitterly: "This is the sadness of the whole Chinese football, not just yours, or mine." Do you understand......" His words were interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone. "Hey, well, I am, you can tell ......"

Li Yan saw that the deputy editor-in-chief had something, so he had to get up and leave. He took the manuscript, folded it and put it in his bag. He always believed that he was right, and even if the manuscript could not be published, he would keep it for future witness.

“…… Okay, you send a few more people right away and wait at the Football Association! Go ahead and do it! Don't let other media take the lead! ”

When the deputy editor-in-chief put down the phone, Li Yan happened to walk to the door, and he was about to reach out to open the door, but he heard the deputy editor-in-chief calling him behind him: "Xiao Li." ”

Li Yan turned around.

"The latest news, Shen Weiguo, the head coach of the Chinese Olympic team, has submitted his resignation, and the Football Association is meeting to study it."

Li Yan was stunned there, looking at the deputy editor-in-chief incredulously, as if today was April Fool's Day.

In Chinese football, the resignation of several people will have a seismic repercussions, the first is the full-time vice president of the Football Association, the second is the head coach of the Chinese national team, and the third is the head coach of the Chinese Olympic team. Especially when the Olympic team is about to face a big battle with the Syrian Olympic team, those two matches are about to qualify for the finals of the Olympic football Asian qualifiers.

At the press conference of the Chinese Football Association, the crowd was crowded and full of voices. Reporters from all walks of life gathered here, all in response to Shen Weiguo's sudden resignation.

In his resignation letter, Shen Weiguo believed that he had been in poor health recently, and that long-term pressure and fatigue had made him unable to continue to serve as the head coach of the National Olympic team, and he specially requested to resign.

The pressure to be the head coach of China's national team is indeed high, and this reason also makes sense. But Shen Weiguo has led this group of players for more than two years, from the national youth to the national Olympics, what kind of wind and waves have you not seen? Now I say that I am under pressure, I can't stand it, and I am going to resign. If you think about it, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?

Luo Wenqiang was a little angry, he slapped the table at the meeting and scolded: "He Shen Weiguo doesn't care about the overall situation at all!" At such an important time, it is said that the burden is lifted! The national Olympic team is about to hit the Athens Olympics, but he is gone? What is this? Unorganized and undisciplined! "As the head of the Chinese Football Association, after the defeat of Argentina, he gave Shen Weiguo enough trust." I'll give you three years to make you lose. But you've got to win the most crucial game for me! At Yanjing International Airport, facing the coach of the national youth team with a tired face, he stretched out three fingers.

"It is not ruled out that he is indeed in poor health, and the certificate from the hospital was handed over to us along with the letter of resignation." March, who is in charge of the technical department, looked at the resignation letter and the copy of the hospital's health certificate in his hand.

Luo Wenqiang obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue, he pouted and shook his head: "No matter what his reason is, anyway, now that the resignation letter has been placed in front of everyone, and it has been known by the news media, let's discuss it, right?" What to do? And most importantly, how do you deal with the journalists outside the door? But they're waiting. He glanced at the audience, and everyone was either "bowing their heads in contemplation" or "discussing in a low voice". Obviously, no one wants to be the first to take a stand, so it seems that they have to be named.

"Lao Yang, can you tell me?"

Yang Weiguang, who was in charge of the league, raised his head, and then thought for a while: "My opinion is that I don't agree with Shen Weiguo's resignation for the time being. After all, the match with Syria is imminent, and changing the commander on the spot is a taboo. Besides, judging from the results, there is no reason for him to go, after all, he has defeated South Korea in the Asian Youth Championships, which is crucial in the future against the Koreans! ”

Luo Wenqiang just nodded with his surname, and didn't say good, nor did he say bad. Then he turned his gaze to March, who was in charge of technology.

March sighed inwardly, and then said: "If you have to let him go, you have to wait until the game in Syria is over." Now the Football Association should issue a statement to fully support Shen Weiguo's work to stabilize the morale of the military. ”

Luo Wenqiang looked at the only female vice chairwoman Wang Li again, and Wang Li smiled: "I'm in charge of the women's football team, so you don't need to ask me about the men's football team, right?" After all, you're right to ask him! She pointed to a man in his early forties.

"Chen Wei, you are in charge of the National Olympic Games, the National Youth and the National Youth, I want to hear your opinion."

This person named Chen Wei was only transferred to the Football Association last year. Transferred with him was Wang Li. He used to be the secretary of the General Administration of Sports of China, and then he was transferred to the Football Association for some reason. There are quite a few complaints within the Football Association that a secretary can be the vice chairman, "It's through the back door again, and the Football Association has become the backyard of the General Administration of Sports!" ”

To everyone's surprise, Chen Wei actually supported Shen Weiguo's resignation: "No matter what the reason, I think he proposed to resign at this time, and he was working against the Football Association." The Football Association will not tolerate such a situation. Otherwise, where will the authority of the Football Association be in the future? How can the work of the Football Association be carried out? Therefore, I think the Football Association should agree to his resignation, and must not make others follow suit and break the rules because of a Shen Weiguo. ”

"You're just supporting his resignation?"

Chen Wei nodded.

"However, the match against Syria will start next month, and now the change of manager, the search for a new manager, the negotiation of the signing, and the familiarization of the team, is just one and a half months enough?" Objections were raised.

'When it comes to the manager, I have a good fit. Qiu Suhui, the head coach of the youth team of Henan Zhongyuan Club. Chen Wei replied.

"He? A former talent? ”

"Yes. He was in Yanjing a while ago to attend the U21 work meeting, and I met with him. At that time, I thought that if he came to be the head coach of the national Olympic team, it would be the right fit. Excellent coaching ability, convincing coaching experience, and reputation as a former famous player, affinity for young players...... I can't think of anyone else who would be better suited than him. ”

"So you've been prepared?" Yang Weiguang suddenly realized.

"Haha! Do you really think that I, the vice chairman, am just a nominal one? Chen Wei burst out laughing.

The others laughed too, and this smile somewhat concealed their embarrassment.

Luo Wenqiang waited for everyone to stop before finally expressing his opinion: "I also think that the outside world cannot be allowed to think that we are conniving at someone, and the authority of the Football Association is inviolable!" As soon as these words come out, what else is there to dispute? Shen Weiguo's dismissal from class is a sure thing. "Xiao Chen, you are responsible for contacting Qiu Suhui and trying to minimize the loss and impact of this change of coach!"

Chen Wei nodded.

When Luo Wenqiang and Chen Wei, as well as Yang Weiguang and March appeared in front of reporters at the same time, the flashing lights suddenly appeared, and the press conference was full of shutter sounds.

Luo Wenqiang, as always, did not smile, showing his demeanor as an "iron-fisted chairman". Chen Wei faced the flashing lights of the reporters, but smiled, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Dong Jin, the press officer of the Football Association, habitually pushed his glasses, and then announced the Football Association's decision on this matter to reporters.

In view of Coach Shen Weiguo's poor physical condition, the Football Association decided to agree to Shen Weiguo's resignation as the head coach of the Chinese Olympic team. Before finding a new coach, Comrade Zhu Qiang, the leader of the National Olympic team, will serve as the acting coach for the time being. The Football Association would like to thank Shen Weiguo for his achievements and hard work in serving as the coach of this team for more than two years......"

Agree to resign?

Agree to resign!

The reporters froze. Previously, almost all reporters believed that before the match against Syria, the Football Association would not agree to Shen Weiguo's resignation in any way. Therefore, Shen Weiguo is more like blackmailing the Football Association, hoping to get something. But the Football Association actually agreed to his resignation!

Everyone turned their attention to Chen Wei, who was sitting next to Luo Wenqiang with a serious face, and when it came to the matter of the National Olympics, Chen Wei, who was still in charge of the National Olympics, had the right to speak.

"Has the Chinese Football Association found a suitable replacement?" As soon as a reporter spoke, he was despised by many reporters. Shen Weiguo's resignation was sudden, and the Football Association had to hold a meeting to discuss it in one day, how could it be possible to find a suitable replacement so quickly? At first glance, he is an intern journalist.

Sure enough, Chen Wei spread his hands: "How can it be possible to find a successor so quickly?" We can only try to minimize the impact of Coach Shen's resignation. ”

"So, in that case, why did the Football Association agree to Shen Weiguo's resignation?" A reporter asked out loud the question that everyone wanted to know.

"Coach Shen is unwell, which is certified by the hospital. We all know how much pressure there is to lead a national team. The Football Association also has no right to take a person's physical safety at the expense of it, even for the sake of Chinese football! Despite the impact, we can only accept this fact, and I believe that our Olympic team boys can get through this difficult time together! Chen Wei said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, but many reporters booed him in their hearts.

Everyone knows that Shen Weiguo resigned for physical reasons, and you need to repeat it again? The vice chairman in charge of the national Olympic team at the lower level talked for a long time, which is equivalent to saying nothing.

The reporters asked a few more questions about Chen Wei, but they were all made invisible by his "grafting" skills. By the end of the press conference, the journalists had only one piece of valuable news:

The Chinese Football Association agreed to Shen Weiguo's resignation.

By the end of the press conference, it was already the beginning of the day. After Chen Wei said goodbye to several vice chairmen, he got into his black Audi A6 and walked away. Leaving a group of still unwilling reporters looking at the back of the car.

Spring in Yanjing is generally very windy and sandy, but today there is not even a trace of wind. The only wind that kicked up the roadside dust was the black Audi driving by.
