Chapter 62: Let's go, go to the National Olympics

When Chen Wei looked at the street full of people wearing masks outside the car window, he was secretly glad that the Football Association and Qiu Suhui signed the contract as soon as possible. No, just after signing the contract "[***]" came. Moreover, there is also news from the AFC that the battle between China and Syria has been postponed due to irresistible factors, and the specific date is still to be discussed by the three parties. If the contract had not been signed before, then Luo Wenqiang would have had enough time to cast his net all over the sky and fish everywhere. With Qiu Suhui's requests, the Football Association will not consider him in any case.

It is often said that it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. That's true!

Qiu Suhui only went to the Football Association to report after the press conference, and then he was ready to start recruiting new National Olympic players according to the list he had in mind.

Chen Wei looked at the new batch of training lists of the National Olympic team given to him by Qiu Suhui, and was so surprised that he didn't close his mouth for a long time, while Qiu Suhui sat in his office and drank coffee leisurely.

"This, this is the training list? But why do I see nearly 90% of the new names? Chen Wei euphemistically put forward his opinion.

"Yes, the main purpose of the first training camp is to investigate potential newcomers." Qiu Suhui took a sip of coffee, "These are all potential newcomers I found in U21. ”

Chen Wei looked at the list, then at Qiu Suhui, then sat down on the sofa next to him, and gently placed the list on the coffee table between the two. "Xiao Qiu, do you want to hide it from me?" He stared at Qiu Suhui, "Let's be honest, what kind of medicine is sold in your gourd?" ”

Qiu Suhui smiled: "Hehe, since you have already guessed, I won't hide it from you." What do you think was the biggest problem for the previous Olympic team? ”

"Before? You mean the previous Olympic teams? ”

"No, it's this session, Shen Weiguo's session."

"Questions? Didn't you? Since the national youth era, they have been the team with the best results, and they have always been expected by people, what is the problem? ”

"This year's National Olympic team has been training under Shen Weiguo for more than four years, so much so that it is called 'Shen Jiajun' by the media. In my opinion, Shen Jiajun no longer has the passion he had at the beginning. After training camp again, all I saw were old faces. It's not easy for newcomers to get in. Do you think that by recruiting Zhang Jun and Yang Pan on the basis of this group, you can secure the right to qualify? ”

"Isn't it?"

Qiu Suhui shook his head: "Football is a collective sport, and adding two stars cannot change the status quo of the Chinese Olympic Games. And even if they have such strength, it will be very difficult to integrate into the current National Olympic Games. Don't think I'm being alarmist, you may not be able to win trust if you have the strength right now. Those Olympic players have been polluted by money worship and other nonsense...... Oh, I'm sorry. Qiu Suhui suddenly remembered that Chen Wei was in charge of the National Olympic Games, and said that the National Olympic Games were polluted, didn't it mean that Chen Wei was not well managed?

"It's okay, you keep talking." Chen Wei shook his head, he knew that the National Olympic team had some bad tendencies, but it shouldn't be enough to exclude Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, the two leaders of their peers, right?

"Many Chinese players have a blind and arrogant mentality, Han said before the World Cup, didn't someone say that there was no problem to win Brazil? The result? Qiu Suhui smiled disdainfully, "What's more, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan have only been playing professional football for a year, but they are so highly sought after, which will inevitably lead to the dissatisfaction of some players." Then there is the clash of two football philosophies. Zhang Jun represents the advanced Dutch football, while the National Olympic team, which has been training under Shen Weiguo for more than four years, still blindly insists on the backward style of physical acceleration. The clash of these two philosophies is likely to lead to a split in the national Olympic Games. ”

Chen Wei squinted his eyes: "So serious? ”

"That's what I came back from Holland, you say?" Qiu Suhui asked Chen Wei with a smile.

"Oh, I see."

"Now that the match against Syria has been postponed, I have plenty of time to rebuild a team......

"Wait, reinventing a team? Is there a time? I don't know when the match against Syria will start......" Chen Wei interrupted Qiu Suhui.

"Hehe, Shen Weiguo spent more than four years to shape a team in his heart, and I can initially shape the team in my heart in half a year. Scientific training methods and personal management, as well as a thorough understanding of the characteristics of each player, I believe I can do it, as long as the Football Association gives me full trust. Qiu Suhui replied confidently.

"Uh-huh, I see. Go ahead and tell me your plan. ”

"I'm going to reinvent a team according to my philosophy, and these people ......," Qiu said, referring to the list, "just good clay." The previous person is already a half-finished product of failure, and there is no value for me to stay. If you want to march into Athens with that team, I can't do it. ”

"Hmm." Chen Wei picked up the list again, "But with such a training list, how do you plan to explain it to Luo Wenqiang and the media fans?" He looked at Qiu Suhui and said.

Qiu Suhui smiled: "Inspecting potential newcomers is the main purpose of this training camp. He repeated the first remarks.

Chen Wei looked at Qiu Suhui, "Okay, I'll report it to you." But you have to be careful......" He didn't say anything to be careful, but everyone knows it, right?

When the major media got the list of the National Olympic training camp, they almost couldn't believe their eyes. Some people even doubt that the Football Association's level of work will not be the wrong list of the national junior team, right? Otherwise, why is it that 95% of the names on the list have never been heard of at all? What about the former members of the National Olympic team? What about the super platinum players?

Despite the surprise, the list was still announced, after all, if you don't publish it, other media will publish it, and you will lose the opportunity for news warfare.

“…… Here's the news about the Olympic team. The new head coach Qiu Suhui announced the training list of the new batch of national Olympic teams, and surprisingly, unfamiliar faces accounted for the vast majority of this list. The following is the list of 35 people in this training camp, seven people in Dalian: Wu Shangshan, Feng Lin ......"

It can be imagined what a shock this list has caused among the media and fans, and many fans think that Qiu Suhui must be so excited that he has a brain problem because he was elected as the head coach of the National Olympic team.

"A good player doesn't equal a good coach!"

"Qiu Suhui dug his own grave!"

"The 'Dutch' coach who came back from the Netherlands!"

"A member of the National Olympic team: I can't read the list."

……

Qiu Suhui threw the newspaper aside, and almost all of them criticized him. He had expected this situation for a long time, and the things in the media were not lethal to him, so it was a big deal not to read newspapers and magazines in the future. But the pressure from the other side is for him to weigh it carefully. Just this morning, Luo Wenqiang came to the Xianghe training base on the outskirts of Yanjing with a gloomy face, accompanied by Chen Wei.

When he saw Luo Wenqiang's stele-like face, he knew that accountability was coming.

As soon as he sat down, Luo Wenqiang went straight to the point and questioned the training list: "Coach Qiu Suhui, I would like to hear your opinion on the training list, why is there thirty new faces in the list of thirty-five people?" And many of those 30 didn't even play a minute of a first-class game. ”

Qiu Suhui is not as giggling as he is alone with Chen Wei, he is sitting in a precarious position, and replied to the full-time vice chairman of the Football Association in a very serious tone: "This is the first training camp for me to take over the national Olympic team, and I attach great importance to it." Recruit a large number of new people in order to test their strength. ”

"The former members of the National Olympic team are also very powerful, why waste time to investigate any newcomers? You must know that the match against Syria is imminent! Luo Wenqiang said with a frown. God knows how long it will be before he says "imminent".

Qiu Suhui felt very uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that "discussing problems" with an idiot like you is a real waste of time! The contract is clearly written: except for Chen Wei, no one else has the right to interfere with his work as the head coach of the national Olympic team. It's only been a few days since I signed the contract? Luo Wenqiang, this old guy, has itchy hands. He didn't want to say anything more to Luo Wenqiang, in fact, it was useless to say more, so he threw out a sentence [***]: "Everything depends on the results, if I lose the game with Syria, I will automatically leave the class!" ”

This is really without any skills at all, it did not leave a way back for himself, and it did not save face for Luo Wenqiang. Luo Wenqiang was also stunned, probably not expecting a coach to dare to speak like this in front of him. Chen Wei sat on the side and didn't know what to say, and for a while there was no other sound in the office except for the faint hum of the air conditioner.

After a while, Luo Wenqiang's face twitched a few times, "Okay, the Football Association respects your opinion, and we will talk about it after the match with Syria." Chen Wei will be in charge of the work of the National Olympic Games, and contact him directly if there is anything. He stood up and smiled, "The hope of Chinese football is in your hands, come on!" ”

Qiu Suhui also barely squeezed out a smile: "Please rest assured that I will not live up to the leaders' expectations." ”

After sending Luo Wenqiang and Chen Wei away, Qiu Suhui returned to the office, looking at the Biluochun soaked for Luo Wenqiang on the table was still steaming, but the guy didn't move. He picked up the ceramic cup and threw it directly into the trash can in the corner, and Biluochun, who had more than five hundred yuan a tael, continued to exude heat in the trash can.

He never drinks tea, only instant coffee, and such an expensive Biluochun is bought to entertain his superiors.

Chengdu, Sichuan, Rongcheng Club Youth Team Dormitory.

Xiang Tao was stuffing souvenirs into his bag...... Native? Yes, in addition to training and match clothes, sneakers, and some personal supplies, he bought a large bag for these souvenirs.

When he received a call from Qiu Suhui at his home in Zigong, he thought he was dreaming. He, who is not even a substitute in the club's youth team, can be selected for the Chinese Olympic team! Although it is only a training camp now, it is not equal to the final list of 23 people, and it still makes the family excited for several days.

So, Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma all mobilized, his family was not a rich family, his grandparents retired, his mother was a teacher in a primary school in the town, and his father was working for others in Yibin. The child was selected for the National Olympics this time, and they couldn't give any expensive gifts - in fact, they shouldn't give gifts at all, so the family members who could cook good dishes prepared countless bags of delicious food made at home for him to take to Yanjing.

"Give it to your teammates and coaches and build relationships with them. You are trusting, you must be humble to learn from the coach, and you are not allowed to have conflicts with your teammates...... "A simple retired worker, his grandfather doesn't know that people don't know that these things made at home are not rare at all, and the current weather is estimated to be almost bad even if you take it to Yanjing."

Xiang Tao had already divided half of it when he returned to Chengdu, and his salary was not enough to entertain guests, so he had to use this instead. Of course, he wouldn't know that some red-eyed "teammates" turned around and threw those things into the trash, and didn't forget to spit two mouthfuls of smoke-smelling phlegm on it: "Turtle son! That coach has a problem with his eyes! ”

Reluctantly closed the zipper, Wang Yu had already pulled the suitcase and knocked on his door: "Hurry up!" Don't wait! ”

Xiang Tao, who was 1.83 meters, lifted two heavy bags and turned around: "Come on!" Come on! What's the matter! These are all eating miles on the road, how many people eat hammers on the road? You still have to eat, your doll is still calling! ”

Wang Yu, whose hands were not idle, smiled and kicked Xiang Tao's buttocks: "Go!" Go to the National Olympics! ”

Zhengzhou, Henan, Zhongyuan Club Youth Team.

Liu Peng took off the captain's armband, put it next to his pillow, and looked at the dormitory where he had lived for two years again, then picked up his bag and turned around and went out.

"Let's go! Go to the National Olympics! ”

Sima Hongxin picked up the suitcase and followed without saying a word, and the door of the dormitory closed gently behind them.

When the two walked out of the dormitory building, they were taken aback. The teammates who were supposed to take a nap all gathered outside the dormitory building and waited for the two of them. Seeing the two of them come out, someone began to shout: "Captain! Come back soon! ”

As soon as he finished shouting, he was beaten by someone else: "Die!" Say something auspicious? ”

"Miscellaneous, there is no culture at first glance, how can you go to elementary school? You should say something like: Captain! Farewell! Don't come back! Let's take root and sprout like a small tree in the national Olympic team! ”

"Gwoon-" Spit down a piece of people.

Liu Peng smiled, and the sadness of parting was diluted.

"I'll be back, the Central Plains is my home, take care!" After speaking, he and Sima Hongxin were about to get into the club's car.

"Captain! Don't forget about us when you're famous! Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, their teammates didn't care about any order, and began to call in a mess.

"That's right! Captain, just kidding, we're still waiting to cheer you on in front of the TV! ”

"Captain, go slowly!"

"Have a nice trip, Captain!"

"Captain, work hard in the National Olympics and fight for our Henan people! Hit or not! ”

Liu Peng looked at these teammates who had been with him for two years, pursed his lips, his nose was a little sour, and he believed that Sima was no better. Because he was already facing the car himself, leaving a slightly bent back to everyone.

Liu Peng didn't say anything, just pulled Sima and got into the car quickly. As soon as the car door closed, he saw Hu Li sitting opposite. "Coach Hu?"

Hu Li smiled and said to the two: "I sent you to the train station, did you hear what they said?" He gestured to the team members pouring up outside the window.

Liu Peng nodded.

"The two of you are representatives of Henan football, working hard in the National Olympics, fighting for our Henan, are you in the middle or not?" Hu Li also asked.

This time, Liu Peng nodded fiercely: "Medium!" ”

On April 17, 2003, the first batch of four members of the National Olympic team from Sichuan reported for duty. On the morning of April 18, the second batch of Yanjing trio reported. On the afternoon of the 18th, four people from Guangdong and three people from Shanghai reported for duty. On the morning of the 19th, two people from Henan reported for duty, and four people from Shandong reported for duty in the afternoon. On the morning of the 20th, two people from Hunan reported to work, two people from Hubei reported to work, and two people from Shaanxi reported to work......

Three taxis stopped at the entrance of the Xianghe training base, and several people came out one after another to take out their luggage from the trunk.

"Wow! This is the Xianghe training base? I've only seen it on TV before, but I didn't think I'd be able to come here! ”

"Hehe, you're going to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow, so many people across the country have chosen you, you're lucky! When you win five million, you won't have to play. ”

"What words? I don't play football for the money! ”

"Haha, then what are you for?"

"I ......"

"Alright, don't break it, let's go!"

On the afternoon of the 21st, the last batch of seven people from Dalian reported.

On the morning of the 22nd, the conference room of the National Olympic Team of Xianghe Base.

Qiu Suhui looked at these players from all over the world with great satisfaction, speaking various local dialects, and many of them had excitement and anticipation in their eyes. This is the real hope of Chinese football, Qiu Suhui said to himself in his heart.

"Okay, your respective dormitories have been allocated, and you have received your living utensils. In the remaining months, you will be here for a period of closed training, so understanding the management norms of the National Olympic Games is the first thing......" Zhu Qiang, the leader of the National Olympic Games, announced the closed training management methods of the National Olympic Games...... You must go back to the dormitory before 10:30 p.m.; During the holidays, you must ask for leave when you go out, and you must return to the team before 11 o'clock in the evening; Don't go home at night! Don't go clubbing and drink too much! No smoking and gambling! Don't go out casually! Don't bring your relatives to the base! Don't give interviews without permission! Don't ......"

So many "don'ts", so many "musts", it's much stricter than in the club's youth team. Some people are already starting to whisper their dissatisfaction. "Hammer! Is this a team training camp, or a concentration camp?! Xiang Tao muttered dissatisfiedly.

The only five "old" Olympians out of the thirty-five sat in a heap, and some of them let out a disdainful laugh: these hillbillies! I don't even understand the rules of the National Olympics and still come to the training camp? Go home early!

Zhu Qiang stopped, then he stared at Xiang Tao, and kept glancing at the player information on the side, and finally matched his face with his name: "Xiang Tao!" What did you say? ”

"Huh? I didn't say anything...... "Xiang Tao didn't want to be expelled from the team on the first day, so he quickly forgot what he just said.

Zhu Qiang ignored him, and was about to continue to announce his "three major disciplines, eight points of attention", but was interrupted by Qiu Suhui on the side: "Okay, Team Leader Zhu, these management regulations are dead, and they are not suitable for managing living people." He saw that the light in someone's eyes was disappearing little by little, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it, and he couldn't care about Zhu Qiang's face. In his heart, the face of a hundred team leaders is not as good as the light in the eyes of a good young player.

"Alright, everything that needs to be said is said, adjournment! Rest early and start training normally tomorrow! Qiu Suhui announced the adjournment of the meeting in just a few words, which really surprised many people. They thought the meeting would last two hours, right? How is it possible for a team at the national level not to meet, to meet often, to have long meetings?

Only Liu Peng and Sima Hongxin are accustomed to it, Qiu Suhui was like this when he was in the Central Plains, he didn't like to have a meeting to show the authority of the head coach when he had nothing to do, how could people who really do things have time for a small meeting every three days and a big meeting every five days?

Someone stood up and cheered, then jumped out of the room.

It wasn't until the last member of the National Olympic team left that Qiu Suhui said to Zhu Qiang on the side: "Is there anything wrong, Team Leader Zhu?" ”

"Coach Qiu, I wonder why you didn't let me announce the regulations to them? You know, this is a compulsory course for new team members to come in, when Shen Weiguo led the team before......"

"Huh!" Qiu Suhui interrupted Zhu Qiang with a smile again, "Now that I am leading the team, it is natural to be different." These players are not suited to those rules and regulations, and the National Olympic Games now do not need rigid sappers, but fighters with a surname. ”

"But having a surname means it's hard to manage......"

"It's just the wrong way to manage it. To say something that may be a bit heavy, Team Leader Zhu, there are no players in this world who can't be managed, only coaches who can't manage. Like Xiang Tao just now, I noticed him at the U21, he is a player with strong performance and outstanding surname. Therefore, he rarely has the opportunity to play in the Rongcheng youth team because he does not like the coach. But no one noticed his well-balanced left and right feet, his blistering speed, and his willingness to step back and attack. As long as he is trained properly, I believe he will become China's Carlos ......"

"Haha! Carlos in China? Zhu Qiang laughed, "Coach Qiu thinks that with the current level of Chinese football, a genius like Carlos can appear?" ”

Qiu Suhui was very upset by the laughter of the team leader, why does Chinese football create two kinds of monsters? Megalomania and inferiority complex. "Why can't China produce Carlos? Can't get out of Ronaldo? Can't get out of Rivaldo? Who prescribes it? ”

Zhu Qiang didn't say anything this time, maybe even he didn't know how to answer Qiu Suhui's question.

Qiu Suhui's tone softened, after all, they had to work together in the future. "Team Leader Zhu, you are the team leader, I am the head coach. Only if the two of us work together can we bring the Olympic Games to Athens. I'm sure the team leader wants to see that scene too, right? ”

“…… Hope ......," Zhu Qiang muttered.

"That's good! Since our goals are the same, there's nothing to worry about! Qiu Suhui clapped his hands, then picked up the player information and walked out of the conference room, leaving Zhu Qiang alone inside.

For Zhu Qiang, this is the most difficult group of National Olympic players he has ever encountered. One by one, they are simply Sun Monkeys who have just entered the Heavenly Court, stubborn and ignorant of the rules. Especially Xiang Tao, who speaks Sichuan dialect!

But in Qiu Suhui's heart, many young people who have never even played a minute in a professional game are the hope of Chinese football. Of course, the premise is to give him time, and these players must maintain their own characteristics and not change color in the big dye vat of Chinese football. But now the question is, he can't always take care of these people and cultivate them according to his own ideas, right? Eventually, they will have to return to their clubs, some of them will be promoted to the professional game, while others will continue to play in the youth team or the second tier team. The best way out is naturally to go abroad, but how many foreign clubs are willing to ask for these nameless young people?

"Brother Sheng, what do you say is going on!" Several old national Olympians gathered in Li Suisheng's dormitory and sighed to each other. "Shen Zhi did a good job, but he said he would leave, and he left us here to be angry with the new coach!"

"That's it, that's it! What is the origin of that Qiu Suhui? Why is even the team leader afraid of him? ”

"I've heard a little bit about it, he used to be a rising star on a par with Van Basten at the World Junior Championships, then he went to the Netherlands for a while, returned to China and played for a few years before retiring. ”

"So powerful? On par with Basten? Someone exclaimed.

"But it's so powerful, why hasn't it achieved any decent results for China?" Doubts have been raised.

"yes, maybe the reporters blew it out, right? No one has ever seen him play, at least I don't believe he's capable of anything! ”

A few people were talking, but they heard a commotion outside.

"Hammer! Open the door for Lao Tzu! Girl (Wang Yu's nickname), open it to Lao Tzu! ”

"No, no! Ha ha! ”

"Don't open it again? If you don't open it again, Lao Tzu will dance for you and make a! Then there was a knock on the door, no, it should be a pounding on the door.

Someone in the room said disdainfully: "It's that Sichuan hillbilly again!" ”

The sound of pounding on the door was still endless, and finally someone couldn't stand it anymore, Li Suisheng got up with a frown and opened the door: "Knock!" Knock you on the head! It's okay to sleep! What's the fuss?! "He is the captain of the former National Olympic team, and he unconsciously puts on the majesty of the captain. But he forgot that most people had never played with him at all, so he naturally didn't recognize him as the captain, and what he said had no deterrent effect at all. Especially when he was facing Xiang Tao, who was not afraid of anything.

Xiang Tao was just stunned for a moment, and then pushed back: "It's called a hammer!" Lao Tzu knocked on the door, but didn't knock on you! You're a fierce chicken! ”

The "knock" in Xiang Tao's mouth means knocking on the door, and the sound of "leaning" in Sichuan dialect is completely different. He was originally dissatisfied with the new coach recruiting some miscellaneous people, and his stomach was holding back a fire, but now he was so provoked by Xiang Tao that he broke out.

"Boom!" He punched Xiang Tao in the chest, although Xiang Tao was only 1.83 meters, he was very strong. He only stumbled slightly, and then stomped back, "Your mom x oh! But he stomped on a person next to Li Suisheng.

"Where the are you kicking it! If you want to die, Lao Tzu beat you so much that you don't even know your mother......" Before the man finished scolding, he was punched by Xiang Tao in the face again: "Fight and say a lot of miscellaneous children!?" ”

Xiang Tao heroically picked two, but he was unexpectedly struck by someone. Wang Yu next to him quit. "I say you're an ancestor!" He also kicked over, worthy of kicking football, and the fight was basically with his feet.

"Holy!"

"Stop! Stop it! Don't fight! ”

"Kill his turtle son!"

"Well played!"

"Hold them back!"

"Who's going to call the team leader, going to call the coach!"

……

Looking at the group of players with different degrees of injuries in front of them, some of them still had unconvinced expressions on their faces. Zhu Qiang was so angry that his hands were trembling: "You...... You guys, that's so unbelievable! I fought just a few days after entering the National Olympics! What do you think of this as this? Now ......"

Qiu Suhui stopped Zhu Qiang: "Go back to sleep for me now, let's have a meeting tomorrow morning, let's rest." Oh, plus. He said gloomily, "No one is allowed to tell anything about tonight." Otherwise, whoever says it, I'll let him get out! ”
