Chapter 175: Frontal Conflict
Anke's decision to stay at Dortmund and politely reject the news of the giants Bayern Munich, just like when he "made eye to eye with Munich", was quickly poked out by the media.
Dortmund's media naturally cheered Anke's choice, but the Chinese media generally felt that Anke was too impulsive, immature and irrational. After Zhang Jun's departure from Milan, they pessimistically announced that Anke's prospects have also become worrying after Zhang Jun said goodbye to the giants and his career prospects have become bleak.
Speaking of which, the domestic media has been really lively recently, worrying about the two "incredible" choices of foreign players, and on the other hand, worrying about the problems that have gradually been exposed within the national team, because this is related to what kind of results the Chinese team can achieve in the World Cup.
Unlike the media's worries, Qiu Suhui seemed calm and relaxed. He doesn't care what the situation is, he even wants it to get as big as possible, so that the players will realize the seriousness of the matter.
Many players, old and new, lack a sense of crisis. I always thought that reaching the World Cup would be considered a complete task. This is true for a team that is reaching the World Cup finals for the first time. But for a team that has reached the finals for the second time in a row, such self-requirements are too unpursuing.
The leagues of various European countries have all ended, and the foreign players are resting and waiting for their respective club teams to gather when the national team comes to Europe for training.
The domestic league in China has a different time than the European league, so the league will be suspended during the World Cup. A few years ago, some people thought that the time setting of the Chinese league was very unreasonable, and suggested that it should also be changed to the cross-year model to adapt to the schedule of international competitions such as the World Cup, Asian Cup, and Olympic Games. Chen Wei is now under pressure and difficult to reform in China, and he has not had time to think about this.
When it comes to domestic reforms, Qiu Suhui's burden is even heavier. Qiu Suhui's national team has been regarded by most people as Chen Wei's descendant, and if Chen Wei wants him to implement reforms smoothly, then Qiu Suhui will make the team make a breakthrough in the World Cup. Chen Wei already knew the problem of disunity within the national team, and his promise to Qiu Suhui was: "Although you do it according to your ideas, I will bear it for you if something happens." I don't care what you do, in short, I want to see a united national team before the opening game of the World Cup. ”
With a backer, many things are much easier to do, so the night before the national team went to the Netherlands for training, Qiu Suhui said to Hu Li with a smile: "Old Hu, I have to ventilate you in advance when I go to Europe this time." I plan to intensify this contradiction, you have to cooperate with me then, I sing white face, you sing red face. ”
Hu Li nodded, although he didn't know what Qiu Suhui wanted to do with it, but more than three years of tacit understanding made him choose to trust this person unconditionally.
At this time, most of the players of the national team were still in bed dreaming about the World Cup, unaware that there was a "conspiracy" waiting for them in the Netherlands.
※※※
Holland, Holland again. Qiu Suhui chose the Netherlands as the pre-World Cup training ground for two reasons. First, the Netherlands is close to Germany, with convenient transportation and similar climate and environment. Second, he has a wide range of connections in the Netherlands, and it is easy to find pre-match training camps and warm-up opponents.
Therefore, this time, the Chinese team still put the training ground at the training base of Ajax.
The former Olympic team is no stranger to this place, because they have been here three times this time.
Just half a day after the arrival of the national team, the foreign players also gathered in Amsterdam one after another.
A day later, the 23-member squad of the national team was all gathered, and Qiu Suhui could finally start the official training camp.
The training camp lasted nearly half a month from May 20 to June 3, and he contacted three warm-up matches, but the opponents were not strong, just local club teams in the Netherlands, and there were no first-division teams. The media believes that Qiu Suhui clearly wants the national team to find confidence.
But in fact, it is because Qiu Suhui is not thinking about that now, he believes that at present, solving internal problems is far more important than external wars.
But how to intensify the contradictions between the two sides and let them explode?
In the past few days of training, Qiu Suhui has turned a blind eye to the cold words of the new and old players and some small contradictions in the usual times, in fact, he has not relaxed his observation of the two gangs at all, he wants to find out the key to anger both sides.
In the training a few days ago, everything was quite normal, and after two warm-up matches, the Chinese team won one and drew one, discovered some problems, and also saw a solution -- that is, to do a good job of unity first.
There was no live TV broadcast in the warm-up match, which made Qiu Suhui very unhappy, and few people could see a good scene like Xiang Tao and Zheng Jun bickering on the field.
Speaking of that the responsibility for that conflict lies with Xiang Tao, facing a second-division team, after conceding a goal, he was in a hurry and yelled at the captain Zheng Jun, accusing him of not marking people tightly, which caused the goal to be conceded. In fact, the goal conceded this time has nothing to do with him, he is purely nosy.
Therefore, Qiu Suhui took advantage of the topic to play and scolded Xiang Tao in front of everyone after the game. This naturally made the veteran players led by Zheng Jun very happy, and they always showed a sense of superiority in front of the new players, thinking that Qiu Suhui's move was a compromise with them, because the head coach was also considered a national Olympic team before.
Naturally, the new players will definitely be unhappy, on the one hand, they feel that Qiu Zhi did not help them and were wronged, and on the other hand, they are more and more dissatisfied with the arrogant old players.
As a result, in the second warm-up game, Zheng Jun made an incredible mistake and allowed his opponent to equalize at the last moment. This time Xiang Tao didn't jump out and shout anything, but Qiu Suhui, who was on the sidelines at the time, pulled down his face, in fact, he was happy in his heart.
Qiu Suhui, who returned to the locker room, was naturally very reasonable to continue his attitude of strict requirements and strict management of the army in the last game, criticized Zheng Jun severely, and also blamed some old players by the way. He even threatened that if anyone didn't do a good job, they could leave half-heartedly now, and there were still a lot of candidates waiting in the country.
These words made the old players very uncomfortable, but the head coach did not dare to contradict them, and could only be unhappy with the new players sitting on the side with a gloating smile on their faces.
Qiu Suhui saw these in his eyes and was happy in his heart. If this is the effect, now both sides should be "growing hatred in their hearts", and whoever lights a small fire can "boom" the prairie fire.
But who is going to light the fire?
※※※
Qiu Suhui looked into the distance, where Crewe was using his break to show off his streetball skills to his teammates, cheering from time to time.
Of course, he only performs for new members. Even if the national team is resting now, it is still a bunch of new players and a bunch of old players.
Qiu Suhui saw this situation, and suddenly remembered that according to what he had observed, the veteran players didn't like Crewe, the new addition, very much, and generally felt that this kid played football alone, and was arrogant and looked down on people.
In fact, Crewe is just under the influence of the new players and looks down on the old players, he doesn't look down on everyone, otherwise he wouldn't have performed for everyone during the break.
This may be a good opportunity.
Qiu Suhui whistled and motioned for the team members to come and gather.
"We're going to have an intra-team teaching game tomorrow. You have to look at it as a real battle, because the starting line-up in the World Cup will be born from this teaching game. ”
As soon as Qiu Suhui's words came out, he could see the eyes of many team members shining - green light. That's what he wants.
After the training, Qiu Suhui said to Hu Li: "Old Hu, there is a good show to watch now, tomorrow you will be the referee, I want you to master this blowing penalty scale." ”
Hu Li nodded: "Is it a strict punishment?" ”
Qiu Suhui waved his hand: "No." ”
"So leniency?"
"No, it doesn't." Qiu Suhui shook his head, "You have to be like this, try to be as lenient as possible at the beginning, and don't care about the kind of foul that as long as it doesn't really kick people, no matter how bad it is, you can turn a blind eye." When you really knock over someone, you can give me a strict scale, as long as there is physical contact in the foul, you can blow it. ”
Hu Li looked at Qiu Suhui with some surprise, and the latter gave him a sinister smile: "I will make all the team doctors stand by tomorrow, and if the matter is big, I will also intervene." Oh, and also, go and inform the reporters that tomorrow's teaching competition is open to journalists, and they have no problem bringing cameras or video cameras if they want, I guess they are going crazy too. ”
※※※
Crewe, who was having dinner, had just finished eating when he was called out by the manager. The Chinese team's meal is a collective system, and everyone acts in unison. As soon as he finished eating, he saw Qiu Suhui appear at the door.
"Crewe, are you done eating? Come to my room after eating, I have something to talk to you about. Then he called Crewe away in front of all the team members, completely ignoring how the other team members looked at Crewe.
Sitting in his room, Qiu Suhui asked Crewe with a smile: "Do you know what I called you to do?" ”
Crewe shook his head, he didn't even think about it.
"That's right, you're the key player in tomorrow's game and I want to focus on your situation. I want you to take the ball more, take the ball more, because our first opponent in the group stage was Brazil, and you are the only person in the team who can compare to Brazil in terms of dribbling and possession, tomorrow I will arrange a lot of people to defend you, maybe they will be very rough, but what I want to see is whether you can play in such a bad situation. ”
"The defenders in the Premier League are much rougher than the defenders in China." Crewe replied nonchalantly.
"It's good that you have that faith." Qiu Suhui smiled, "That's it, you can go back when you know it." ”
Crewe didn't ask much about why the manager would talk to him alone about this, and he got up to leave. When they all walked to the door, Qiu Suhui stopped him again.
"You have the confidence to fight the Brazilians, right?" He asked Crewe.
"Of course." Crewe replied succinctly.
"Good. Oh yes. Remember to do a good job of protection tomorrow. I don't want to lose a big player before the World Cup. Qiu Suhui waved his hand, "Go back and play, but don't play too late." ”
Qiu Suhui, who sent Crewe away, found Zheng Jun again, of course, this time he didn't find Zheng Jun in front of everyone, but found Zheng Jun alone.
"I know you must still be angry at the criticism I gave after my last fight, right?" Qiu Suhui said to Zheng Jun with a grin.
Who is Zheng Jun? He hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head: "No! No! The coach is right, I don't have any opinion. "Just kidding, can I say it to your face?
"Hehe, let's not talk about that. You know the World Cup is approaching and there's a lot of pressure from above. Tomorrow's teaching game, I want to test the quality of you veterans, our first opponent in the World Cup is Brazil, this is a team that is good at technology, I want to know how far you can go against Brazil's attack. So tomorrow's game, the back line you lead must give me all my strength. We're talking about it, and if you don't do your best, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
Zheng Jun nodded like a chicken eating rice: "Definitely!" Certain! Coach, you can rest assured that you will give your all. Hey! He laughed.
"Haha! That's good, don't let me down. Qiu Suhui smiled and patted Zheng Jun on the shoulder.
In this way, the two of them have their own ghosts, and they pretend to have nothing to do here.
Only Hu Li is a little worried, he doesn't know how far he can control tomorrow's game, the big game is coming, even if there is another injured soldier in the team, it will be a big blow, Qiu Suhui is in danger.
※※※
The next morning, reporters who had been allowed to shoot the news gathered on the sidelines of the game.
Qiu Suhui specially arranged this game at the No. 3 venue of the Ajax training base, because there was a simple stand, all the text reporters among the reporters were invited to sit in the stands, and the photojournalists set up machines on the sidelines.
It's been almost a week since the national team training camp, and Qiu Suhui is only open for 15 minutes at the beginning of the daily training session, and is allowed to shoot videos, and when the time comes, the photo reporters and videographers will all be kicked out, leaving only the text reporters, but the text reporters can only watch for another half an hour.
With such strict requirements, even Sophie couldn't get in touch with Zhang Junduo, what she said on the phone before the training camp was very good, but when she arrived at the training camp, she found that it was not what she imagined at all.
The task given by the newspaper Sophie naturally couldn't be completed, and Zhang Jun couldn't do anything. He focused on the overall situation of the national team and did not take the initiative to find Sophie, because Qiu Zhi had not said that he could bring his family members in to visit the class, and none of his other teammates had girlfriends or wives by his side, so he naturally couldn't be special.
It's just that Sophie suffered, running around with a camera all day long, racing against time, and trying her best to take all kinds of photos about the Chinese national team. Fortunately, Li Yan helped her, even if she didn't complete the task, there were two people to carry it together.
※※※
When the Chinese team came to the stadium, they were also taken aback by the formation of long guns and short guns on the sidelines, and they had never seen a lineup of interviews of this scale since the training camp.
Qiu Suhui was very pleased with the response of the reporters. But he also felt a little pity, it would be nice to have a live broadcast!
The lineups of both sides were arranged, and Qiu Suhui directly asked Hu Li to tell the players about the staffing. The match is divided into two teams, Team A wears the red national team jersey and Team B wears the white jersey. And the yellow vests, which symbolize the main force, do not appear on either side. Qiu Suhui's meaning is obvious: if you want to become the main force, use your own practical actions to take it!
Team A is almost entirely made up of veteran players, and they play the traditional 442 formation of the Chinese team. The B team is a new player, playing a more offensive 352 formation.
The intention of this arrangement is also obvious, it is a dispute between the old and the new. After Qiu Suhui turned a blind eye to this factional struggle for a long time, he finally put it on the table.
Many reporters were also taken aback when they saw the red and white players on the field, but some of them quickly realized that Qiu Suhui had too much ambiguity about this factional contradiction some time ago, and now it seems that he is about to resolve it. I'm afraid that this game is "the drunkard's intention is not to drink".
Qiu Suhui assigned the team and moved a chair to sit on the sidelines to watch the play. Hu Li, who was the referee of the match, stood in the middle of the court in the red and black jacket of the Chinese team, and after Qiu Suhui's instructions, he knew what to do.
As for the players on both sides of the game, they also regarded this game as a real battle, as Qiu Suhui said. When it comes to their chances of performance in the World Cup, no one will be soft. No matter how good someone usually has a good relationship, as long as they are opponents at such times, there is no affection to talk about.
Hu Li blew the whistle and the game began.
As a striker, Crewe has excellent ball skills, and the ball is often passed to his feet.
In the eyes of Zheng Jun of the A team, this is naturally a great opportunity to perform to the head coach. But in the eyes of other veteran players, it is believed that the head coach is deliberately developing Crewe. Obviously, this "transfer student" is very favored, and they, the "old courtiers", are gradually falling out of favor.
This is a reality that makes them very unhappy and depressed. They can't compare to Crewe in terms of technology and performance, but it doesn't mean that they can't cure this "arrogant" newcomer. This teaching competition gave them a great opportunity. It's a shame that a player had an accident in a training match and collided with a teammate and was seriously injured and had to withdraw from the national team before the World Cup.
In news like this, everyone will only feel sorry for the injured and worry about the fate of the national team, but they will not think of any conspiracy behind the injury.
And the ideas of these people are also very much in line with Qiu Suhui's hopes. It's not that Qiu Suhui is clever and knows things like a god, but he knows that some people's surnames are like this, and for their own selfish interests, they can do whatever it takes to sacrifice the interests of others and the overall interests of the country.
It's infuriating, it's pathetic, it's pitiful.
So they can only play as a substitute in the national team.
※※※
There is not just one Crewe; Li, Zhang Jun, as scorers, will naturally receive their "warm hospitality". It's just a slight difference, Zhang Jun is used to seeing the kind of rough tackles and savage collisions of defenders in the Italian Second Division, in his eyes, the rough actions of some defenders of the Chinese team are too amateurish, and the momentum is there, but they can't touch anyone.
With his speed, it is still possible to keep these people from getting close, and of course, it will inevitably have to sacrifice some scoring opportunities.
is also an attacker, and players like Zhao Pengyu are not in the eyes of the other party, so they naturally disdain to make any tricks against him. And what about Yang Pan, who dares to black-footed him? And who can guarantee that he won't kick you in the head with his long-range shot during the game? At that time, he can be said to have no responsibility at all, and that is the real accident.
Zhang Jun has less balls, while Crewe has more balls, so he has naturally become the target of everyone. And Crewe is overconfident, knowing that the players who can be selected for the national team are not useless, even if they are substitutes. Some people are a little bit better than the worst defenders in the Premier League. Even in the Premier League, he doesn't dare to say that everyone can pass, and in the case of the opponent not fouling and one-on-one, he really has a good chance of winning. But once the other party comes up three at once and adopts killing tactics, how can he deal with it?
Zhou Tao and Kong Liang, plus a Chen Cheng, the three of them rushed towards Crewe at a very layered level, Chen Cheng pulled him with his hand behind Crewe to interfere with his ball control, while Kong Liang blocked it head-on, intending to use a foul to make him stop, Zhou Tao was waiting for the opportunity to move on the side.
Crewe flicked the ball to the left and avoided Kong Liang, but he just got the ball again, and when he was about to cut in, Zhou Tao rushed up from the side, because the direction he rushed and the direction of Kruneche was exactly opposite, Crewe was knocked out of the way!
This was an absolutely obvious foul, but coincidentally, Zhang Jun received the ball from Crewe in front, so Hu Li followed the principle of "the attacker is advantageous" and did not stop the game.
But there are already reporters on the sidelines shaking their heads and sighing, it's just a teaching game, is it worth fighting with such a bayonet? It was the third time Crewe had been viciously violated in 25 minutes, giving the impression that they were not team-mates in one national team, but sworn rivals in the city derby.
Zhang Jun pulled the ball and went into the penalty area, this time he will face Zheng Jun. He didn't use his pretty moves like Crewe, but chose the simplest and most effective method: to change direction and accelerate.
His left shoulder sank, but his right foot shifted the ball to the right, and at the same time, his left foot exerted force, and his body rushed to the right. Just let him dodge the air, even if it's just a hint, and he can shoot!
Of course, Zheng Jun knew, and he also knew that he couldn't block Zhang Jun's shot now, so he chose to interfere with him. He went straight to Zhang Jun's supporting foot, the left foot, he knew it was a foul, and he knew that it was likely to hurt, but he would say to himself afterwards: "As a central defender, sometimes in order to prevent the opponent from shooting, you have to do whatever it takes. Of course, he also doesn't think about how much threat Zhang Jun shoots at an angle that is almost comparable to Basten's "zero angle", nor does he think about Zhang Jun being his teammate, not an enemy.
At the moment when Zhang Jun shot, he also shoveled Zhang Jun's left foot as he wished. Zhang Jun's body tilted to the right, and the ball shot ridiculously high.
Zhang Jun, who finished shooting, fell directly to the ground and didn't get up, and when Hu Li was hesitating to pause the game, there was a conflict on the other side.
Crewe stood in front of Zhou Tao, who was as tall as him, and grabbed the other party's neck with his hand, and he scolded in English: "You looking for death!" It was clear that he was enraged by the barbaric movements of these men one after another.
Twenty-six minutes and thirty-seven seconds, Qiu Suhui finally waited for this moment, but he did not rush into the field, as if he was stunned by what he saw and had not yet reacted. In fact, he was leaving time for the people on the pitch to fight, and the more people involved, the better.
At this time, Xiang Tao, who had also been dissatisfied with those guards for a long time, also rushed from the backfield at high speed and pushed away Kong Liang, who came up to help Zhou Tao, Kong Liang was naturally not to be outdone, and threw his hand and punched Xiang Tao in the back of the head.
Wang Yu, who always cooperates with Xiang Tao, sees his partner being beaten, and he definitely can't sit idly by. He went up and stomped on Kong Liang's stomach, this time he stomped accurately and ruthlessly, and Kong Liang, who hadn't reacted yet, fell to the ground.
There are really more people involved, some people really come to pull the rack, and some people use the name of the rack to do the mafia.
They completely forgot that the flashes of the hundreds of reporters outside the venue were flashing, and the cameras were all faithfully recording. They have long looked at each other unpleasantly, and they don't have the opportunity to "teach" each other fiercely, but now that the opportunity has come, the blood is surging, who cares about the reporter! And Hu Li's hurried whistle also pale in this conflict and brawl.
"! Don't fight! Anke came up and slapped away a veteran player who was trying to sneak attack from behind, "A team, what is there to fight!" He shouted and kicked the hand of one of the veteran players away.
After Yang Pan overthrew a certain team member who was going to come up to find trouble, he pushed away Xiang Tao, who was playing lively, and played fifty boards each, which was fair.
It was only at this time, more than 30 seconds had passed since the conflict between Crewe and Zhou Tao, and Zhou Tao had been pushed to the ground by Crewe, and Qiu Suhui rushed into the court, and with the help of some players who were really fighting, he was able to control the situation.
The excitement of the players was naturally followed by the excitement of the reporters, who used cameras, video cameras, eyes, pen and paper to faithfully record this "sudden" conflict. Big news! Big event! As the World Cup approached and preparations entered a critical moment, there was a clash of players in the team. This really made many reporters enthusiastic.
"Cancel! The contest is cancelled! Qiu Suhui shouted angrily waving his arms as he motioned for the staff and other members of the coaching staff to drive the reporter away. Since it is a drama, it requires a bit of professionalism, and under normal circumstances, the first thing a coach has to do is not to criticize the players, but to drive away the reporters on the sidelines, and not let them continue filming.
And in this situation, even if they continue to watch the play, they can't wait for anything more valuable. Qiu Suhui just wants to leave more room for reporters to speculate, make up nonsense, exaggerate, and appall.
It took a full fifteen minutes for the reporters of the 100-person group to withdraw from the venue, and they were "reluctant" one by one, for fear that they would miss something more exciting.
In fact, there is nothing more exciting, after Qiu Suhui and other staff closed the door, they only said coldly to a group of players who were injured but still unconvinced: "Today's teaching competition is over here, and there will be no training in the afternoon, and everyone is not allowed to take a step out of their respective rooms except for eating!" ”
He locked everyone up like this, and his facial muscles twitched constantly, and he was very angry.
Even Hu Li, who knew the inside story, was wondering whether Qiu Suhui was acting, or if he was really angry.
