"Warrendam is in the final of the Dutch Cup!"

"Kifu: I'm looking forward to fighting Zhang Jun."

"It feels great to score a goal - Interview with Zhang Jun"

"They will make history - Adrianse on Zhang Yang"

……

All kinds of domestic sports newspapers and periodicals are on the desk, but Qiu Suhui has no time to take a look, his negotiations with the Football Association have reached a critical moment, and he is busy with this matter all day long, and these newspapers can only be accumulated and read later.

On the last day of the lecture, Qiu Suhui led a patchwork team that had only been training for three days to draw 1:1 with U21 runners-up Dalian. This game actually made the three giants of the Chinese Football Association - Luo Wenqiang, full-time vice chairman, Ma Qi, director of the technical department, and Yang Weiguang, director of the league department, all come to the scene to watch the game, which not only caused a shock in the Honghe base, but also caused a shock in the Chinese football circle.

The arrival of the three shattered the rumors that the head coach of the national Olympic team would be selected through competition. After more than half a month of excitement, the new head coach of the National Olympic team finally surfaced, and everyone focused on Qiu Suhui, the head coach of the Henan Central Plains Youth Team.

The draw in this teaching game also dispelled doubts within the Football Association about Qiu Suhui's level. All that remains is for the Football Association to sign a contract with Qiu Suhui. In fact, teams at all levels of the country, except for the national team where foreign coaches must sign contracts, coaches at other levels have no contractual relationship with the Football Association. There is an appointment system between the coach and the Football Association, and the Football Association will let so-and-so take up the post with a wave of his hand, and so-and-so will have to take the post. The Football Association waved his hand again, saying that so-and-so was going to be laid off, and so-and-so was laid off again. Such an unprofessional relationship makes the coach's treatment not guaranteed, and the position is naturally unsafe. The coach's positive surname cannot be played, and the training effect can be imagined.

In fact, this also made the Football Association suffer, and Shen Weiguo's sudden resignation ruthlessly defeated the Football Association. If both parties sign a contract, the Football Association can use the contract to bind Shen Weiguo. Shen Weiguo is a smart person, your Football Association can let me go casually, and in turn, I can casually fire the squid of your Football Association.

Based on the interests of both parties, when Qiu Suhui proposed to sign a contract, the Football Association only held a meeting within the Football Association and agreed. There are also no problems with the length of the contract, which ends with the 2004 Athens Olympics. If the national Olympic team fails to enter the Olympic Games, the contract will be automatically terminated and Qiu Suhui will return to free agency.

However, Qiu Suhui demanded that no one in the Football Association except Chen Wei, who was in charge of the National Olympic Games, have the right to interfere with his work, not to question the team's employment, training and competition, and tactical play of the National Olympic Games, and not to impose the will of the top on him, and to demand the absolute power to lead the team......

Watching Qiu Suhui walk out of the conference room, the door was gently closed by the waiter outside, Luo Wenqiang vented his suppressed anger, and he threw the contract documents on the mahogany table: "Where is he negotiating?" It's clearly blackmail! He wants absolute power, so what else do you want our Football Association to do? This is not allowed, that is not allowed! What is the General Administration of Sports set up for? Seeing that Rowan was furious, the others didn't dare to say a word and sat quietly in their seats.

"Chen Wei, who are you looking for? Unorganized and undisciplined! Do whatever you want! He also said that the concern of the leader was interference! ”

Chen Wei smiled bitterly in his heart, the person who supported him at the beginning was Luo Wenqiang, and now it is Luo Wenqiang who puts all the responsibility on him. But people are leaders, and when leaders say they are wrong, they are wrong.

"This ...... Actually, this is something we have known for a long time. Because when Qiu Suhui signed the contract with Henan Zhongyuan Club, he also asked the club to delegate all powers. And he did bring an Under-21 title to the club. We looked into his previous coaching experience, and that's pretty much what Qiu Suhui values the most. Although Luo Wenqiang was angry, Chen Wei still had to explain it to him. After all, he and Qiu Suhui have been on the same boat, and he insisted on Shen Weiguo's resignation at the beginning, just to support Qiu Suhui, if Qiu Suhui and the Football Association collapse, he can return to the Central Plains to continue to be a coach. And what about yourself? Once the National Olympic Games defeated Syria and did not even enter the top 12, domestic fans and media became angry, and he, the vice chairman in charge of the National Olympic Games, bore the brunt of the class. In this sense, his official career is Qiu Suhui's future.

"He was at the club and now it's the Olympic Games! What if he doesn't obey the leader? Does our Football Association still have authority? If this matter spreads, where is the prestige of the Football Association? What if all the other levels follow suit? In the past, when Milou was there, it was a very bad example! It was because he swayed left and right when implementing the opinions of the Football Association, which led to a lot of problems in the preparation plan...... The competition is approaching, and he even went to shoot commercials! It's no wonder that the Chinese team doesn't lose in the World Cup! It's because our contract with him has a clause that no interference is written, even if Milu is a foreign coach, but he Qiu Suhui also comes to this set! ”

"He has also been in Europe for many years, and his concept is ......"

"Then change it! This is in China, not the Netherlands! The situation in China is different, we can't copy all the European ones, how can we do a good job in Chinese football with European ideas? There is a saying: adapt to local conditions. Adapt to local conditions, comrades! What does it mean to adapt to local conditions? Chen Wei: You should understand, right? ”

Chen Wei nodded.

"If we're all like him, we might as well hire all foreign coaches. You go and do work for Qiu Suhui, I hope that we can reach a consensus in the consultation the day after tomorrow. ”

Throwing down this [***] sentence, Luo Wenqiang left, and the others also left one after another with some gloating looks. Only Chen Wei was left sitting alone in the empty conference room, staring at the Football Association logo opposite. The green background represents the football field, [***] represents China, and the football below doesn't need to be explained, right? This is the logo of the Chinese Football Association.

A soccer ball has to carry such a heavy [***]......

When Chen Wei used to be in the General Administration of Sports, he was just an assistant to the director who liked football. I never thought that I would face so much pressure after being transferred to the Football Association because I love football. In China, just because you like football doesn't make you good at football! There's so much stuff other than football that changes everything. Every step of Chinese football will leave a deep footprint on the ground, which is not the so-called down-to-earth, but too much pressure and heavy steps!

Now he's completely caught in the middle of the pressure. Luo Wenqiang's pressure, the pressure of the fans and the media, any kind of pressure is enough to cause him to leave class. The match against Syria is imminent, and the head coach is no longer sure, it will mean the complete collapse of the Olympic team, which is the focus of the Football Association's work this year and next.

This national Olympic team was once known as "super platinum" and was pinned on by the Chinese people. If you don't even make it to the final stage of the qualifiers, who will be responsible when the four-year dream is shattered early?

Chen Wei walked out of the negotiation hotel, but was surprised to see the 20 reporters in front of him. The long spear and the short cannon were pointed at him, and as soon as he came out, the flash flashed wildly.

"Vice Chairman Chen, is there any conflict between the Football Association and Qiu Suhui? Why is there such a twist and turn in the signing of the head coach, which is not in suspense? ”

"Is it a matter of treatment?"

"May I ask if you thought of the current situation when you agreed to Shen Weiguo's resignation?"

"The match against Syria is imminent, but the national Olympic team can't even guarantee normal training, who is responsible for this?"

Who is to blame?

Chen Wei, who was stunned in place, suddenly had a cold war, maybe a month later, because of this sentence, he will bid farewell to the Football Association and leave class gloomily. Luo Wenqiang will definitely make him a scapegoat. As the vice chairman in charge of the National Olympic Games, he is also the first person in charge, and he can't escape.

In Yanjing in early April, Chen Wei, a native of Jiangnan, felt an inexplicable chill, he raised his collar, bowed his head and lined up everyone, got into his own black Audi A6, and left.

A month ago, when he set off such a storm in Chinese football, did he think that the storm would be so big that he couldn't stop it? As soon as this ambitious young man took his first step, he felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders.

In the end, Chen Wei lowered his attitude and "begged" Qiu Suhui to make concessions in a low voice. I went to talk to Luo Wenqiang again, hoping that the Football Association could give Qiu Suhui full autonomy in the attitude of "respecting talents and trusting talents". Of course, he did not forget to "threaten" Luo Wenqiang with the imminent start of the Sino-Syrian war. "If Qiu Suhui doesn't sign the contract, and the National Olympic team loses the battle between China and Syria in this situation, none of us can afford that responsibility!" When he said this, he just didn't want to "carry all the pressure on himself".

It should be said that the approach of the Sino-Syrian war prompted the two sides to return to the negotiating table, and soon signed a contract for the post. Qiu Suhui no longer asks for "absolute power", but instead "has the autonomy to lead the team as much as possible". The Football Association no longer clings to power, but promises not to interfere in the affairs of the national Olympic team unless the situation is extremely urgent. Chen Wei successfully acted as a peacemaker and helped the National Olympic team stabilize the situation.

When both parties signed their names on the contract, he could finally get a good night's sleep for the first time in a month.

The dust has finally settled on the selection of the coach of the National Olympic Games, and Qiu Suhui deserves to be the new coach of the National Olympic team. Various media began to publicize it again, and China's Olympic Games bid farewell to the era of Shen Weiguo and entered the era of Qiu Suhui.

Although he knew that Qiu Suhui's election was expected, Li Yan still felt uncomfortable in his heart - this has nothing to do with Qiu Suhui's level, nor does it have anything to do with Chinese football, it is purely a subjective dislike in a person's heart. But fortunately, he will soon leave this messy Chinese football scene and return to Volendamm, the Netherlands, to meet his old friends. Li Yan didn't want to be disturbed by those things.

But he was still disturbed.

When he was told that he couldn't go to Holland, he froze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yan Wei was taken aback, "Don't hate me, hate to hate SARS, hate [***]." The state no longer allows Chinese citizens to leave the country, let alone national borders, even provincial borders are difficult. In a word, stay at home honestly! ”

"Holy!" After being stunned for a long time, Li Yan slammed the "Football Weekly" in his hand on the table. "When will the ban be lifted?"

"How do I know? I have to ask SARS, maybe tomorrow when his old man is happy, he will withdraw, and you will be free. Now go home and sleep, look up information on the Internet, and find time to write. This is what the boss asked me to give you - extraordinary times and extraordinary tasks - to keep in touch with Zhang Jun and Yang Pan through the Internet and telephone. ”

"Fuck sars!" As soon as Li Yan finished scolding, he sneezed, and the colleagues in the office were so frightened that they hurriedly covered their faces with everything at hand. Li Yan looked at everyone happily, turned around and went out the door - he was going to the hospital for a check-up to see if he had a fever, a dry cough, a poor breath, and a need to isolate.

"What?" Li Yongle looked at his teammates in surprise, "Because of [***], the big league was postponed?" ”

The teammate nodded: "It's all like this, can you still play?" ”

Li Yongle was stunned for a moment, he originally wanted to get the best player through the big league and go to the Netherlands, taking the same path as Zhang Junyang Pan. The success of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan in the Netherlands has made Chinese players attract attention in the Netherlands. It can be said that Zhang Jun's success has also paved the way for future generations, and after entering the door, it depends on his own strength. But Li Yongle believes that he has the strength.

But now, a sudden [***] has made all his plans come to naught, the big league has been postponed, the best player can't be won, and the Netherlands has finally become a dream...... This damn [***]!

Li Yongle shot the football into the barbed wire fence opposite, making a dull sound. He was not worried about his life in the hardest-hit area of Yanjing, but worried about his future. Maybe for him, catching up with Zhang Jun's footsteps is sometimes really more important than life.

Sophie noticed that there was a word that appeared more and more frequently in the news media - [***]. At the beginning, as early as the Spring Festival, there was news that there was an infectious disease in Guangdong, and even the banlan root was sold out of stock in the market. She thought it was some boring message. But when she saw in the newspaper that the Guangdong side admitted that the infectious disease was "[***] type pneumonia" and had spread, she realized that the situation was not as simple as she imagined.

In the past two days, schools have been clamoring for school closures, more and more people are wearing masks, and people eating in the cafeteria have begun to use their own lunch boxes.

"Hey, you know what? More than 100 people died in Guangdong, and the political axe only reported 10 people! How dark! ”

"Isn't it?"

"What are you lying to? This thing is not easy to prevent, the air infection, droplet infection......"

The two people who were biting their ears suddenly jumped away with strange expressions, looked at each other warily, and said clearly in their eyes: "Stay away from me!" ”

"Hey! Yesterday, a boy in A-big slept in the dormitory and didn't want to go to school. I lied and said I had a fever, and now it's fine! The school doctor, the counselor, and the vice principal all went, and the boy was terrified! As a result, he was sent to the school hospital for isolation on the spot! Ha ha! The roommates were talking about the "gossip" they heard from somewhere in the dormitory, which scared a group of girls into a daze.

Sophie sat on the bed with a pillow and looked at her roommate on the bunk across from her with wide eyes. Two white masks were also hung next to her bed, and the two masks cost her thirty yuan, and now it is really an "extraordinary period", and even the price is "extraordinary price".

In the drawer are two large packages of banlangen powder that she just "grabbed", and she is now starting to feel a little scared, although there are masks, banlangen, and someone who comes to disinfect every day, she is still afraid. It's a kind of insecurity that can only hold a pillow in times of crisis.

Zhang Jun was not there, she was afraid.

Naturally, she can't go to sketching, so she now sits in the dormitory whenever she has time, holding a sketchpad and practicing sketching. Every day, the dormitory, classrooms, and canteens are three o'clock and one line, and I dare not go anywhere else. How many people have died in Guangdong, how many people have died in Shanxi, how many people have died in Yanjing, and how many people have died in Henan...... Every day is such news, looking at those cold, impersonal data, Sophie feels that the Grim Reaper is wandering the world, looking for its prey, maybe the next target is her?

Sufi never thought of the word "death", but in the spring of 2003, when she faced the menacing "[***]" alone in Hefei, China, she remembered more than once that this spring should have been as brilliant as a flower.

Not just Sophie, not just Li Yan, or Li Yongle, in the spring of 2003, the whole of China fell into a kind of nightmare. A seemingly sudden, but early warning catastrophe swept the land, and Anhui, where Sophie is located, was the last place to fall: the name of Anhui was not in the newspaper notice, but finally it did not escape, [***] patronized this Jianghuai land......

Masks, white coats, the honking of ambulances, isolation wards, and the smell of 84 disinfectant filled the air, dressing up the whole of China in spring so pale.
