Chapter 144: Alas, Chinese Football!
In fact, Europe and the United States have always been unfamiliar with ancient China, and before the new century, their impression of China was mysterious. Of course, the argument of mystery can also be regarded as ignorance and backwardness to a certain extent.
With China's domestic reform and opening up, economic take-off, and China's more important position and voice in the international community, the impression of Western countries on China began to reverse. But more than that, they see China as an extremely rich and wealthy country. It's no wonder that foreigners have such ideas, foreign luxury exhibitions, Las Vegas, buying luxury houses, and spending a lot of money...... All of this has something to do with many Chinese bosses.
Even many teams in Europe's top five leagues have been injected with Chinese funds.
If that's not money, then what is money?
Europe and the United States have such a one-sided understanding of China, let alone Chinese football. Except for the 02 World Cup, after the Chinese team had a brief and humiliating appearance on the international stage, almost Europe and the United States rarely paid attention to this team.
But today's game gave them a different view of this unfamiliar team. It is true that the overall strength of the Chinese team is very poor, but it is not useless, at least they dare to fight, and they can also pose a certain threat to the world champion Spanish team.
Although they still lost by a big score, the process was still commendable, at least they didn't tie their hands down.
At the post-match press conference, Spain coach Bosque and the captain of the game, Andres Iniesta, were interviewed by reporters.
When asked what he thought of the Chinese team, Bosque commented: "The Chinese players are very physical, they are very positive, and through that positivity, they caused us a lot of problems in the first half. I think of one team in them, yes, Atletico Madrid, and although the two teams are different in many places, the common thing is that they are both very aggressive runners. I think there's a lot of room for improvement and maybe a better team if they have a couple of players who are more capable of it. ”
Bosque's comments are very pertinent, and he is very face-saving for the Chinese team, only commenting on their good aspects, but not mentioning their shortcomings.
Andres Iniesta, who is also an honest man, nodded in agreement with the manager, adding: "If the Chinese team had been a little more physical and pressed a little harder, we might have been in more trouble, and they would even have taken the opportunity to score the goal." In fact, the Chinese team had several chances to score, and in the first half, we were a little unprepared. So I think if Qin was on the court, maybe the outcome of this game would have been different. Everyone knows that Qin's goalscoring ability is very strong. ”
Regarding this point, the reporters in the audience also agreed, although they couldn't figure out why there was no superstar Qin Shou in the Chinese team, but it was undeniable that the center forward on the field of the Chinese team was too inferior, if it was Qin Shou, it was estimated that the first few opportunities in the first half would be seized one or two. Then the result may be different. At least, the Chinese team will not lose so ugly.
Zheng Zhi, the captain of the Chinese team, replied modestly: "We have done our best in this game, Spain deserves to be the number one team in the world, very strong, very strong, I think we can learn a lot through this game, this is the most precious point, I think we still have room for improvement, and we will continue to work hard to improve our strength a little more." ”
In fact, a reporter in the audience asked the question "why Qin Shou did not enter the list of the Chinese team", but Zheng Zhi chose not to answer. Within the national team, players are given a gag order to talk about the issue in public.
Chinese players are not all wine bags and rice bags pig brains, many players actually admire Qin Shou very much, anyway, Qin Shou has done something that no one has ever done in the history of Chinese football, and he has created a series of records, even if you don't want to be admired.
They also believe that if Qin Shou really joins the team, it will greatly improve the strength of the team.
But the leaders of the national team and the Football Association are not allowed to enter, what can they do. You can only pretend that you don't know anything.
Zhu Zijun, who attended the press conference instead of Camacho, looked very happy in the face of the praise of the opposing coach and players, with a smile on his face all the time, and he couldn't see the frustration of losing the game at all. The uninformed might think that it was his team that won.
"In this game, we played at a level, with style and with momentum. We lost the game, but we proved that we are a good team. I would say that football is a whole sport and it doesn't make a difference because of one person. It turns out that we can still play well without a certain person and I'm sure we'll get even better results in the future. ”
Zhu Zijun's speech actually can't find any fault, but when you dig deeper, you can describe it in three words: fake, big, and empty. This is also very normal, strictly speaking, Zhu Zijun is not from football at all, he is the manager of the National Sports Bureau who directly parachuted into the national football team, do you think a layman can manage the national football team well? He doesn't have a professional football quality at all, what he is good at is using words to motivate and inspire.
Are there any Chinese bureaucrats who are not good at words? People who are not good at words and can't make reports can become officials in China, and that's what is rare.
At the subsequent press conference, the reporters also raised a lot of questions, and Zhu Zijun became the busiest person, constantly responding with a smile. His "Tai Chi" can be regarded as perfect, pulling things around, beating the official tone of Chinese officials to a louder degree.
Anything can be said, anything can be said, but there is no substance and meaning.
After the press conference, Zhu Zijun and Zheng Zhi left the venue together.
Looking at the team leader who was obviously in good spirits, Zheng Zhi hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and stepped forward to ask the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Coach Zhu, why don't you recruit Qin Shou into the team? He's a good player and ...... in Spain"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by "Director Zhu".
The head coach of the Chinese team is generally named "coach", Zhu Zijun is not from football, nor is he the coach of the national team, but he just likes this title very much, so he asks the players to call him "Zhu Guide".
The players turned their noses up at this, but they were helpless officials sent down from above, and they couldn't afford to offend, so they could only call it that.
"Xiao Zheng, there are some things that you can't participate in, although you are an old man in the national team, but ......" Zhu Zijun's face was a little gloomy, but because Zheng Zhi was the old qualification of the national team, he didn't have a seizure in the end, he stretched out his finger and pointed at his finger, and said in a cold tone, "This is the decision above, not something you and I can speculate...... Don't ask this question again in the future, let him in when it's time to let him in, and don't recruit him because he hasn't met the standards of the national team......"
"Standard?"
Zheng Zhi was directly stunned, and even had the urge to scold.
If Qin Shou, a superstar player recognized in Europe, does not meet the standards for entering the national team, then what are they? Do you really think that the Chinese team is a Brazilian team and a Spanish team, and there are too many talents, so they can't look down on stars of Qin Shou's level?
Fuck you, pull your calves!
Looking at "Director Zhu" who had turned around and left, Zheng Zhi hated it.
He is the old man of the national football team, and he has also played in Europe for a while. He is well aware of the gap between Chinese football and European football. If you really want to calculate, the national football team is estimated to lag behind the top European teams for more than 20 years.
He also wants the national football team to be good, and he also wants Chinese fans to no longer be hopeful every time and hurt by disappointment every time, but ...... Look at the so-called Football Association, the so-called leaders, this group of guys who don't understand fart, have to meddle in football, this is completely to ruin the national football team, and it is really to make the national football team not see any hope of rising.
"Alas, Chinese football, ah......"
Zheng Zhi sighed deeply, shook his head, and was silent.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
'Without one person, we were still able to play a good game and get good results...... I said, this guy is too thick-skinned, right? was beaten 4:0 by others, and it was called a satisfactory result, phew, what a shame! ”
At Qin Shou's home, Xu Xinjiang still had the newspaper in his hand on the table with a "snap~", shouting indignantly.
It's already the second day of the tournament and the Chinese team has already left Madrid this morning. They didn't have an intersection with Qin Shou when they came, and they still didn't cross paths when they left. The two are like a parallel line that will never cross, without any connection.
There are reports about yesterday's game, and the newspapers not only affirm the performance of the Chinese team, but also criticize the Chinese team's strength is really poor, and of course, at the post-match press conference, the answers of the coaches and players of the two teams are also on paper. The remarks of the leader of the Chinese team naturally did not fall.
Qin Shou naturally knew who Zhu Zijun was referring to by "someone", he looked at Xu Xin, who was unhappy, and said with a smile indifferently: "Forget it, I'm not angry, why are you so angry?" Anyway, people don't look down on me, and I don't bother to provoke these rights and wrongs. ”
"Forget it if I don't call Brother Qin Shou, I'm really unhappy to slander you like this......" Xu Xin muttered and waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to mention this group of boring and shameless people." By the way, Brother Qin Shou, the Champions League one-eighth knockout game is about to start, right? You have to come on, you can't join the national team, you can't compete in international competitions, then at least you have to do well in the Champions League and let those people see your quality......"
Qin Shou nodded, and said, "Yes, it's going to start......"
