Overnight, the wind changed!

What has been reported by the media is only the tip of the iceberg, and the truth is so huge that the Football Association cannot support it alone.

Zhu Rongji, who had just assumed the post of prime minister of the republic in March 98, exchanged views with Beckenbauer for three hours in the form of private talks!

What is the concept of the Prime Minister's three hours?

The busiest position in the devastating country, with an average sleep of just over 4 hours!

Why Do You Talk That Long?

Well-informed people have the answers.

The domestic football league that began in 94 has been in a state of flowering within the wall, and its popularity is not as good as that of the J league and K league that started in the same period, not to mention the player salary, championship awards, and corporate sponsorship, all of which have begun to bubble up.

In stark contrast to this, the grassroots forces are barren and weak.

Out of a population of 1.3 billion, only 7,000 youth football players are registered by the Football Association!

Such a pitiful number, compared with the 350,000 people in South Korea and the 700,000 people in the island country, already makes people shake their heads and sigh, let alone compare with South America, Europe and other developed football countries.

The professional league has been in operation for 4 years, and only 0.03% of the more than 200 million young people can meet the standard of second-level footballers!

According to Beckenbauer, there are 6 million registered footballers out of a total population of 82 million in Germany, accounting for 7%!

Germans like to use data to speak, and Chinese people like to cover up problems under the pretext of saving face.

This time, the iron-fisted prime minister is determined to go under the knife!

On the surface, the Football Association's smearing of You Mo is just to divert the attention of public opinion, so as not to put too much pressure on the Football Association because this guy cannot be selected for the national team. But in fact, domestic football has been unable to integrate with the outside world, and youth training and echelon construction have been stagnant, which is the most direct manifestation of the inaction of the Football Association!

The World Cup is just around the corner. The national team, which has great expectations from the Chinese people, is about to appear in front of the world, and what kind of performance it can have will not make the prime minister worry. The data that can be compared through the survey is so thrilling, and the ideas brought by foreign monks are so solid and powerful, that the seemingly prosperous domestic football market suddenly has nothing to hide.

The prime minister spoke, how dare the Football Association say the word "no", even if there is 10,000 reluctance to these uninvited German bigwigs in his heart. On the surface, he didn't dare to reveal anything. As a result, the content of Beckenbauer's meeting with the director of the General Administration of Sports was exposed, and an interview with Gerd Müller appeared in the newspaper.

For a moment, the media, with a keen sense of smell, quickly realized the signal that the wind was turning sharply.

It was the first time that an athlete had caused an earthquake in the entire domestic sports world, and all the participants were excited.

According to the previous point of view, engaging in sports and winning glory for the country is the first priority. Obey the organizational arrangement whenever and wherever you are. Sacrificing personal interests and doing everything to serve the motherland is the highest honor in competitive sports.

But what about this guy in front of you?

I'd rather give up the alluring path of benevolence than insist on playing abroad. I'd rather be infamous for a woman than compromise for sympathy. I'd rather go on the road alone than be wronged!

Career, fame and fortune, win glory for the country. None of these things could shake him, so what did he really care about?

Such a guy. Whether it's right or wrong, as long as you loosen your mouth on it and dig it a little, the news value will be bursting!

After realizing all this, the media has not yet found the material, and the second interview of "Sports" followed.

"Beckenbauer on German Football"

"Sports" has no official background. Why is it so far ahead of the latecomers in this wave? In a state of jealousy, senior media people shook their heads and sighed as they looked at the familiar and unfamiliar final signature.

Liu Nan!

The guy who has become the editor-in-chief of the football edition is now no longer in China, and he has taken advantage of the rapid development of "Sports" in recent years to frequently participate in the coverage of major football events abroad. It's not just about the pitch, it's about how the football industry as a whole works.

The guy in Germany is his old friend, and after learning that the football emperor led the crowd to visit China, he immediately began to call for verification.

You Mo knew the news before him, but after this thing refused the other party without hesitation, how did he know whether Beckenbauer was going to fill the pit or dig it?

However, as a senior media person, what is needed is not how clear the attitude of the other party is.

In Liu Nan's view, it is impossible for German football representatives to ignore Youmo's great contribution to visit China by taking advantage of the myth of Kaiserslautern. Even if the personal relationship is not harmonious, for the overall interests of German football, Beckenbauer, who is called the emperor of football and is actually a representative of the powerful faction, will definitely not deliberately smear it.

After a little analysis and a conclusion, Xinmin*'s sensibility quickly came to mind, and Liu Nan immediately made a decision and began to ask for a phone.

You Mo has never been barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes in this kind of thing, anyway, his reputation is rotten in China, and it doesn't matter how he discredits it, after making a phone call to his agent, Beckenbauer's personal contact information was handed over to him.

As a result, things went far beyond Liu Nan's expectations!

Beckenbauer received his phone call, and after a little communication, dumped Gad Mueller directly at him.

To be honest, the Chinese people who only began to contact the foreign football world in the 90s have heard more about the two old guys than they have seen. No matter how exaggerated the data is, it also gives people a sense of distantness, far less convincing than titles such as "King of the Ball".

Liu Nan knew this situation well, and after learning the target of the interview, he suppressed his excitement, didn't close his eyes all night, and sorted out more than a dozen pieces of A4 paper with Gad Muller's information!

This kind of interview after full preparation not only harmonizes the atmosphere, but also the content is detailed and powerful, which is combined with the interesting commentary career of the person concerned this year, which makes it vivid and interesting for anyone to read.

Moreover, the content is not deliberately pursued, the foothold is just as a commentary, how to dig out the bits and pieces of a team from the field and off the field, how to understand everyone's psychological state from the surface situation, and how to find the key factors that determine the outcome from a seemingly simple and ordinary game

This kind of professional vision that integrates fun is actually the topic that hundreds of millions of domestic fans need and are most interested in!

From the perspective of Gerd Müller, he evaluates Youmo's performance over the past year, with the achievements of the two far from being comparable, and focuses on portraying the old man's continuous harvest this year. How big does this award hold?

"I've seen a lot of guys who are better than him, and 27 goals in a season is not an exaggeration. However, football is a team sport, and the cohesion he showed in the whole team is what impresses me the most. ”

"Have you ever seen a team play most of the games in which the second half is significantly better than the first? You've seen a team. How often turn the last ten minutes of a match into a nightmare time for your opponents? Have you ever seen a team rotate sixteen lineups throughout the season and still win the double with the highest win percentage in the top five leagues? ”

These evaluations are based on the data that the Germans have always been good at, and they are indestructible and roaring, so that everyone who picks up the newspaper and reads it attentively seems to have seen another world that is dazzling!

"Sports", a newspaper that is published twice a week, has directly doubled its sales and approached the 2 million mark!

In the second interview of the hot iron, Liu Nan did not stop at You Mo's personal performance. First, propaganda is too easy to recruit black. Second, personal performance is the appearance, and the development of domestic professional football is gradually deviating from the right path.

"German football can maintain its competitiveness in the world for a long time, and the perfect club financial audit system, software and hardware supporting facilities requirements, as well as a strict youth training system according to age, are an important part of ensuring the healthy development of the football industry."

"In recent years, the sports industry in Europe has developed rapidly, and many investors have flocked to it, snowballing. Pushing up the value and salary of athletes. On the surface, it is a matter of great benefit from both the individual and the country. As a matter of fact. It is impossible for foreign investors to come for the prosperity of the football market of other countries, since it is an investment, it must be rewarded! ”

"In any fast-growing industry, bubbles are inevitable, and if effective measures cannot be taken to strengthen supervision, the bubble will only grow bigger and bigger. until it finally shattered, leaving a mess behind. ”

"The financial audit system of German football clubs is very strict, and any income and expenditure is as transparent as a listed company. Any one who wishes to use personal financial resources, foreign funds. and clubs that have taken out large bank loans to achieve strong competitiveness in football must be subject to strong supervision and the principle of fair play. ”

"I'd rather say no to outside money than blindly pursue high speed, which makes the Bundesliga significantly less attractive to top players. In the ranking of clubs in the top five leagues, German clubs are not among the best in all indicators. ”

"There is money but not to make money, to repeatedly say no to foreign hot money, obviously can develop at a high speed, but take the initiative to slow down, behind such a move, is the result of the strategic thinking of the country's development."

"The faster the club moves, the more demanding it is from the players. The stronger the ability to attract foreign players, the smaller the living space of domestic players, and in the long run, the league level and the national football level cannot keep up with the state. ”

"Quality over quantity, that's the essence of Made in Germany!"

Such an interview, from beginning to end, did not mention a word about the domestic football market, but in the eyes of all followers, you can feel that it points to an obvious weather vane!

In the face of the false prosperity of the domestic football market, the upper echelons are about to start the bubble removal work!

Of course, now that the World Cup is about to be held, even if you want to go under the knife, you have to wait until the World Cup is completed and the final results are out before you can start cleaning up.

This more than a month can be regarded as giving the Football Association a buffer period to sort out problems and alleviate contradictions.

On June 8, the German veteran football team and the Chinese veteran football team led by Gao Fengwen held a friendly match at the Capital Stadium.

"Only when you really understand, can you really like it, only if you like it, you can devote yourself to it, and only when you really put yourself into it, the happiness generated by sports will continue. The domestic league has grown rapidly in recent years, and people of all ages are proud to be fans, and to be honest, this kind of thing is not worth encouraging. ”

"Following the trend can only be followed for a while, just like chasing stars, there will be obvious time boundaries. Like the kind of foreign country where three generations of a family support a team, and go to the scene to watch the game for decades, it is obviously impossible in China. However, the impossible is impossible, and working in this direction and adding cultural content to the football industry is the key to long-term development. ”

"Our football is only lively, there is no culture, this is a fatal wound!"

Old Man Gao's words caused quite a reaction.

The first division that started in 94 has only been 4 years, and many teams have changed their faces and changed their names. In order to maximize profits, it is normal for clubs to behave in this way under the command of short-sighted thinking. As a manager, the Football Association will undoubtedly bear a huge responsibility for allowing the loss of culture in the football industry, and even taking the initiative to show the concept of "milk is a mother".

The threshold is too low, the supervision is unfavorable, the league system is changed back and forth, and it is better to have quantity and bubbles than quality and health, these stubborn diseases of domestic football have nothing to hide in the above words!

If the number of the bottom layer is lacking, then look for a suitable one from foreign aid, and the development of the grassroots is unfavorable, so only focus on the national team, and there are many problems in the professional league, so take the national team's record as the ultimate goal

These headache measures are the report cards handed over by the Football Association after they have become rich in recent years.

"It's not that I don't want to pay attention to grassroots construction, but that the domestic treatment is too poor, and the income of grassroots coaches and staff is completely unable to be in line with professional football, and no one wants to do this kind of thankless business. There is also the issue of venue, which involves a lot of capital investment, and I am a layman and do not express my opinion. However, according to what I learned when I was free, domestic schools shouted about quality education, but in fact, few physical education classes and sports facilities really paid attention to. ”

"Player development is a long-term and meticulous work, not that there are hundreds of millions of people who can produce how many top players!"

These remarks are the comments made by Qi Wusheng, who led the team to complete the task of rushing out of Asia, on the development of grassroots football in an interview.

What is the situation of grassroots construction, it is not that people in the industry really do not know the specific situation. However, the inaction of school education is indeed a long-standing problem that plagues the healthy development of the football industry.

The social climate also has a huge impact on this.

The guy who plays football is almost equivalent to poor grades, can't get into college, and is forced to eat this bowl of rice. This prejudice exists in the minds of almost every parent, and it is almost impossible to shake in a short period of time.

"Compared to the men's team, the women's football team has achieved good results in recent years. However, we only started professional training in women's football much earlier, one step ahead of our opponents' amateur training. If there is no suitable soil, then the space for the upward development of women's football is worrying. ”

Ma Yuanan also came out at the right time and raised many concerns about the long-term development of women's football, and the reasons are basically the same as Qi Wusheng.

Without a solid base of the population at the bottom, the upper class is neither stable nor able to move forward!

"The two of them have always been my proud disciples, and they took the initiative to play in Germany, and I was in charge of matchmaking, and finally it happened. I don't mean to show off anything, and the misunderstandings and criticisms that have shrouded them may also fall on me. ”

"Saying this, I actually want to remind the players who still have a high room for improvement in China that it's time to broaden their horizons, try higher difficulties, and develop tall!"

In an interview, Zhu Guanghu spoke highly of Zhang Xiaorui and Yang Chen's overseas activities, and the subtext can be seen at a glance.

China is not the ultimate battlefield, if you want to appreciate the style of the top of the pyramid, you can't covet a comfortable environment! (To be continued......)
