Chapter 63: In the Name of Football
Many reporters crowded at the door of the Xianghe base, hoping to get news about Qiu Suhui's first training session, and also wanted to know the training of that batch of new players, after all, anyone's first time is worth paying attention to. However, these reporters were all blocked by Dong Jin, the press officer of the Football Association at the door: "This is a closed training, without the instructions of the superiors, and no reporters will be interviewed." ”
"What the hell! In the past, when Shen Weiguo was closed, the training camp was not like now! ”
"There's always going to be a press conference, right?"
"Coach Qiu Suhui has no plans to schedule a press conference."
"What? Journalists have the right to know about the training of the National Olympic Games and tell the public! "There were loud protests.
Dong Jin had a particularly good temper this time, he didn't ask anyone, he just stood in front of the reporters, and whenever a reporter raised a question, he replied with this sentence:
"I'm sorry, this is an instruction from my superiors!"
This is the instruction of the superiors......
In the conference room, there are 35 members of the National Olympic team, some of them are silent, some are muttering, and some are gloating. Originally, they had planned to train normally this morning, but who expected that a brawl last night had changed their original plans, and they were now sitting in the conference room waiting for training.
The arrival of Qiu Suhui and Zhu Qiang quieted down the players, but unexpectedly, Qiu Suhui did not ask the team members involved in the brawl to do a review or announce any punishment clauses. He simply announced a few of his "management methods": "I know that everyone comes from all over the country, has different backgrounds, and speaks different dialects, which is very difficult to manage." Therefore, I ask everyone to use Mandarin in the team. In addition, because the dormitories are concentrated in one building, we hope that everyone will not disturb others when entertaining themselves. Okay, now let's all go to the training ground and let's start training! ”
Qiu Suhui surprised these players again, originally thought that it would be a meeting of profound criticism and self-criticism, but he didn't expect that in less than ten minutes, Qiu Suhui announced the end of the meeting and went to training!
Some people stood up and walked outside, and more people got up and left the room. Only when Li Suisheng was leaving, he looked back at Qiu Suhui with a smile on his face.
Qiu Suhui stood on the sidelines, holding a pergola and looking at the sky, after ten o'clock in the morning, the temperature was already a little high, did the summer in Yanjing come in advance?
The team members completed the lap running task under the leadership of the physical fitness coach and are resting on the sidelines. Qiu Suhui's first training session did not come up with his own things, but followed Shen Weiguo's training method, which he still needs to observe.
Qiu Suhui looked at his watch, and then walked over to the players: "Let's have a group match, eleven people on each side, a big game, twenty minutes each in the second half, and a break of ten minutes in between!" Got a question? ”
"Nope."
"Louder!"
"Nope!"
"I can't hear you!"
"No !!" This time, many people were hoarse, and Qiu Suhui was barely satisfied. "It's okay, remember to answer my questions as loud as possible in the future, I'm a bad ear. Okay, now let's start assigning people. The red team, goalkeeper Sima Hongxin, central defender Liu Peng...... "Qiu Suhui didn't look at the list of players at all, just casually pointed to the players in front of him, and then reported their names and positions one by one.
Li Suisheng is the central defender of the white team, and the white team plays 361, which is the formation that Shen Weiguo has adhered to since the 2001 World Youth Championships. The five former Olympic players are all in the white team, they are striker Jiang Hao, midfielder Hu Lin, attacking midfielder Xu Chong, central defender Li Suisheng, and central defender Zhang Feng. The red team does not have a former Olympic player, Qiu Suhui's meaning seems to be very clear, he wants to see who is weak and who is strong between the new players and the old players.
But...... Li Suisheng looked at Xiang Tao, who was not far from him, and he was playing center back like himself. Why did the coach put this guy with himself? The three central defenders have high requirements for tacit understanding, and there is not much problem with him and Zhang Feng, after all, they have been playing together for four years. But with this Xiang Tao, he was angry when he saw him, what tacit understanding was there? Could it be that the coach wants his side to lose?
Li Suisheng clenched his fists, I won't let you get your wish!
Chen Wei looked at an envelope on the table, and there were a lot of them. "Zhu Qiang, this guy is really bothered!" He sneered, then opened the envelope and divided the "relevant report on the fight led by Xiang Tao within the National Olympic Team" into several copies and stuffed it into a paper shredder.
The report was stuffed in, and when it came out, it became a scrap of paper that could not see anything, and then it was swept into the wastepaper basket on the side by Chen Wei.
"Good shot!"
"Beautiful!"
The RED players applauded and cheered, while Wu Shangshan from Dalian waved his fists excitedly, having just slipped into the box between the white team Li Suisheng and Xiang Tao and scored the first goal.
Goalkeeper Feng Lin, also from Dalian, was at a loss for the goal, he was very familiar with his teammate Wu Shangshan in Dalian, but he did not expect that there would be such an obvious gap between former Olympic captain Li Suisheng and Xiang Tao, allowing the extremely fast Wu Shangshan to easily break into the penalty area.
There is no tacit understanding between the midfielder and the central defender, the central defender and the central defender, how to play such a game?
Five minutes later, Wu Shangshan repeated his old trick and drilled into the penalty area through the space between Li Suisheng and Xiang Tao. But this time, Feng Lin was prepared and blocked Wu Shangshan's shooting angle. But Wu Shangshan did not choose to shoot this time, but passed the ball to the far end. The tall Li Jie squeezed Zhang Feng, and then easily scored with a header! Although Feng Lin struggled to turn around to save, he only saw the football crashing into the net.
This time, Li Suisheng couldn't stand it anymore, and he yelled at Xiang Tao: "How did you run the position?" How can this kind of ball be pulled to the side? ”
Xiang Tao didn't show weakness either, he put his hand to the side: "Ge Laozi......" He suddenly remembered that the coach had just announced that he must speak Mandarin, and quickly changed his words, "You are blind!" The opponent's full-back plugged in, and our full-back didn't return to defense in time! What if I don't fill the fill? The responsibility is on you, why didn't you come up in time to fill my place? ”
"I'm a central defender, what if I go to the middle?"
"Did you make a difference in the middle? Isn't it still a goal?! ”
The more the two talked, the closer they became, to the point where they were facing each other. It's like two enraged bulls, with their heads on their heads, their noses panting, and their eyes glaring at each other. If it weren't for the players from both sides who arrived in time to pull them apart, maybe yesterday's unfinished fight would have been serialized on today's training ground.
The assistant coach hurriedly whistled to pause the training, but Qiu Suhui shouted loudly from the sidelines: "The game continues!" Ignore them, the game goes on as normal! ”
The game continues?!
Everyone was taken aback, this is the case, and the game continues? Even the assistant coach didn't understand, and looked at Qiu Suhui in a daze, and the whistle in his mouth didn't blow for a long time.
"Whistle! The game continues! Qiu Suhui reminded the teaching assistant again.
"Toot!" The whistle sounded to continue the game.
In the subsequent game, the red team suddenly found that the white team's defense became extremely fierce, especially Li Suisheng and Xiang Tao, they seemed to be competing with each other.
Wu Shangshan still wanted to get between the two, but he forgot that he was no longer facing a defender, but two angry bulls.
At 1.86 meters, he was hit by Xiang Tao of 1.83 meters and stumbled, and the ball was naturally lost. Xiang Tao was a reasonable collision, and the assistant coach did not whistle. Everyone would have thought that Xiang Tao would pass the ball honestly, only the other three people who were also from Sichuan did not think so.
Wang Yu of the red team rushed directly to Xiang Tao from the position of the back waist, and he knew what Xiang Tao would do next. It's just because of this coach in the youth team in Rongcheng that he is reluctant to let him play, because the coach there is serious, it is crazy!
As soon as Xiang Tao adjusted slightly, as soon as he took a step with the ball, he saw Wang Yu pressing up. He didn't pay attention to it, just dribbled the ball forward, and then blocked Wang Yu who rushed up with his right hand, so that he couldn't get close. Then he accelerated violently and squeezed Wang Yu away!
After a person, Xiang Tao still has no intention of passing the ball, and still rushes forward with the ball! The RED team player didn't understand what was going on, and he had already made him pass through the midfield quickly!
The centre-backs attack with the ball!
"Pass the ball quickly! You're looking for death! Li Suisheng yelled in the back, the back three still stepped forward to attack with the ball, did he want to commit suicide?
"Stop him!" As soon as Liu Peng shouted, Xiang Tao passed the ball, and with a shake of his right foot, he distributed the ball to striker Jiang Hao.
"Pass it to me!" After passing the ball, Xiang Tao quickly stepped forward, and at the same time pointed his fingers forward and yelled at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao was frightened by Xiang Tao's crazy momentum, and actually passed the ball out, completely forgetting that he had been kicked by Xiang Tao last night.
The two-on-one easily passed the defender, and Xiang Tao took the ball again. Liu Peng had to force up, he was the last line of defense in front of Sima. I have never seen such a powerful defender in the U21, who dared to carry the ball alone and even through several people, and single-handedly broke through the entire stadium. But he is not easy to mess with, he was about to let this new teammate see the power of the U21 best defender, but he saw Xiang Tao's short body, poked his toes, and quickly drilled past Liu Peng, and the ball was divided!
Liu Peng obviously didn't expect Xiang Tao to dare to divide the ball in front of him, so he was stunned and didn't stop him. Sima Hongxin attacked, but he underestimated Xiang Tao's explosiveness, Xiang Tao leaned and stabbed the ball from Sima's armpit into the goal one step ahead!
The ball is in!
The ball went in!
The assistant coach was stunned for a moment before blowing the whistle indicating that the goal was valid. After scoring the goal, Xiang Tao did not celebrate, but just ran into the goal, picked up the football and ran towards the center circle. His actions surprised both players, and the game was only more than 20 minutes into the game, and he was in a hurry to equalize?
Xiang Tao slammed the ball to the tee, then continued to run back to his position. "You!" He pointed at Li Suisheng and said loudly, "I pulled a ball back, don't hold me back!" ”
Li Suisheng sneered: "It's not certain who is dragging who back!" ”
Towards the end of the first half, the whites won a corner. This time, Xiang Tao and Li Suisheng ran to each other's door together. Xiang Tao waited at the back point, while Li Suisheng was wandering in the big forbidden area.
Xu Chong sent out the corner kick, not the front point, nor the back point that Xiang Tao was waiting for, but ...... Sima Hongxin waited for the ball to reach the middle and then confiscated the ball directly, after all, Liu Peng was there, and he was very relieved. But Xiang Tao suddenly saw Li Suisheng rushing from the big forbidden area in the chaotic forbidden area, and then jumped up with all his might! Li Suisheng, who is 1.87 meters tall, is like a Dapeng spreading his wings, making a powerful dash in the air!
And at this time, Liu Peng was just about to jump, and he was pressed under Li Suisheng!
Sima Hongxin didn't expect Li Suisheng to stab obliquely, beat Liu Peng to the top successfully, and watched the football fly into the goal.
The white team equalized the score!
After scoring the goal, Li Suisheng also picked up the football from the goal and put it back in the middle circle, and then stretched out a finger to Xiang Tao, who had returned to the position: "I also pulled a goal back!" ”
Qiu Suhui looked at this scene on the field and smiled: "Interesting." ”
The match ended in a 2-2 draw with no more goals for either side. But Qiu Suhui's goal has been achieved, the score is not important, and winning or losing is not important. The atmosphere in the team is gradually improving, and the anger of the fight will be transformed into the motivation of competition, so that there will be hope for the National Olympic Games.
Zhang Jun and Yang Pan have been in bad form recently, and in the last game against the Roda team, Zhang Jun did not score a goal in 60 minutes and almost disappeared. Yang Pan played the full 90 minutes, and neither showed speed nor played a long-range advantage on the right side, which can be said to be lackluster. So the result of this game was not much better, with Warendamm losing 0-2 away to Roda FC.
Adrianse is considering whether to let them play in their next league game at home to PSV Eindhoven. With five rounds left in the league, the battle for relegation is already heating up. Even though the team is now outside the relegation zone, who's to say they will still be outside the relegation zone at the end of the season?
In the last five rounds, PSV Eindhoven, Heerenveen and Ajax are all strong teams, and if they lose all three games, Warrendam will definitely have no hope of relegation.
But Adrianse also understands the reason for the duo's sluggish form. SARS is raging around the world, and China is the hardest hit area. The two must be worried about the safety of their families. In such a situation, how can you expect them to give 100 per cent on the field? In addition, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan's physical condition is getting worse and worse, and it should be a miracle that they have been able to hold on until now in the first season of their careers. You know, the promoted horse Volendam has always been fighting on two fronts!
On the training ground, Zhang Jun broke through with a single knife! Westtrop scrambled to attack, but Zhang Jun's shot went straight into the goalkeeper's arms as if it were a return pass.
Adrianse finally decided to leave Zhang Jun and Yang Pan out of the 16-man squad, and he gave up the match against PSV Eindhoven.
When Zhang and Yang heard that they could only sit in the stands and cheer for their teammates in the next league game, they were not much surprised. With their current form, it is really unrealistic to want to play, it is better to leave the opportunity to his teammates, especially Ochu who is eager to prove himself.
China's SARS has spread to Warrendam, the Netherlands, and Yang Pan calls home almost every day. And Zhang Jun calls twice a day, one to his parents and one to Sophie. Although they all said on the phone that they were fine, disinfected every day, and rarely went out. But the mere exchange of sound still worries people as far away as the Netherlands. The current situation is really terrible!
Worse is yet to come, with Volendamm losing 3-1 at home to PSV Eindhoven, just two points off the relegation zone. Only the last place in the Dutch Premier League will be directly relegated, while the 16th and 17th places will play the second to seventh places in the first division in the play-offs. The play-offs are divided into two groups, with the top of each group going straight to the Super, and the others all going down to the First Division. Warrendam rose to the superpower through the play-offs. The relegation zone is between 16th and 18th, and the situation in Warrendam is not optimistic.
Wang Hua brought the latest and definite news from China, the political axe has fully intervened in the "[***]" epidemic, and removed the heads of the original two health ministries to inform the epidemic every day. The "***]" epidemic in many places has begun to be controlled, as long as you usually go out less, go to crowded and poorly ventilated places, and pay attention to personal cleanliness and hygiene, "[***]" will not be as terrible as people said at the beginning.
Hearing the news, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan were relieved and in the mood to make a joke. "Hehe, it's okay! Zhang Jun, your dad can finally accompany your mother at home! After Zhang Jun finished calling home, Yang Pan smiled on the side.
"Well, too. He couldn't sit still at home all day, and my mother said he was supposed to be a monkey. ”
"Ah, I suddenly remembered that Li Yongle is in Yanjing, which is the hardest hit area......"
|“ I asked him, he is strong and pays attention to personal hygiene, there is nothing wrong with him. It was he who regretted that the big league final in May was going to be postponed indefinitely - and he also wanted to follow our path and rely on Philips sponsorship to the Netherlands. ”
"Let him be on a team with us, haha! It just so happens that Seth (Kozel) will return to Ajax next season. Yang Pan laughed, if Li Yongle really came to the Netherlands, he really wanted to be teammates with this opponent in high school for three years, it must be very interesting.
"That's what I said to him, but now [***] is making a fuss, and there's nothing." Zhang Jun spread his hands, very regrettable.
"What a fuck [***]!" Yang Pan scolded in a low voice, but saw Zhang Jun get up and enter the bedroom, and after a while he walked back with two white vests. "What are you doing?" Yang Pan was puzzled.
"I think we should do something about the fight against [***]." Zhang Jun spread the two vests flat on the coffee table in front of him. "Even if it's for parents, for Sophie, you should show something." He picked up a dark blue marker and neatly wrote in Chinese on a vest: "Anti [***], we are together!" ”
"You...... Are you going to celebrate like that after a goal? Yang Pan made a move to lift his jersey.
Zhang Jun nodded: "We are not doctors, and we are not in the country, we can only do what we can do." ”
"Zhang Jun, you are really sensational...... But what if the coach doesn't let us play? Our recent performances have not been convincing! ”
"Then re-convince the coach in training, hehe!" Zhang Jun wrote the same words on another vest, and then he raised it and spread it on his chest, and said to Yang Pan, "Do you want it?" ”
Yang Pan tilted his head and looked at it for a while, and then said: "You kid is too ugly...... Seeing that Zhang Jun was about to take it back, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, "I'll just do it!" ”
Adrianse found that he could understand that the situation in China had stabilized without watching the news. Because Zhang Jun and Yang Pan's state is gradually picking up, they have played amazing cooperation many times in training. It seems that they will have to play in the next game against Utrecht. Against a mid-table team like Utrecht, Adrianse will never give up.
When Adrianse announced the starting line-up for tomorrow's game, the names of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan were prominently listed. The two looked at each other and smiled, in addition to laying the foundation for relegation with the victory, they also had another task in this game.
When Zhang Jun opened the door, the early morning sun poured in, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes, good weather! Yang Pan put on his shoes and walked out: "Let's go!" Zhang Jun nodded, and the two went out and turned onto the forest path.
As soon as he ran two steps, he saw Kozel coming out of the house in a tracksuit. "Morning!"
"Morning!"
A simple greeting, Kozel followed very tacitly, and the three of them were side by side on this Dutch morning, running and enjoying the sun. No one spoke, except for the sound of the breeze stirring the leaves and the birds chirping in the woods, except for the rustle of shoes on the ground. This is the kind of morning run they do before every home game, and the race starts from this moment.
Despite being a small stadium with only 6,000 people, Zhang Jun felt that the cheers here were the loudest in the stadium he had ever visited. Because here he could clearly hear thousands of people cheering his name together.
"Zhang-Jun! Zhang-Jun!! Zhang-Jun!! ”
Zhang Jun put his hands to his ears, closed his eyes and enjoyed his cheers, it was a wonderful feeling!
Just four minutes into the opening game, a return pass mistake by the opposing defender allowed Zhang Jun to seize the opportunity, cut off the ball halfway, and then faced the goalkeeper to easily push the far corner successfully, 1:0! He scored his fifteenth goal in the league!
The Volendamm fans celebrated for just fifteen minutes, with a tenacious Utrecht equalising in the 19th minute who also capitalised on a mistake at the back.
The game was then deadlocked, with mistakes from both sides. Adrianse was a little agitated, and he rushed to the sideline from time to time to shout at the field, which was nothing more than a reminder to the players to keep the pressure on Utrecht, not to retreat, and to fight aggressively......
Zhang Jun, who was "hidden" in the last game, was indeed very active, and he almost scored with three shots in the penalty area, but unfortunately the goalkeeper and the post combined to stop him.
In all league games this season, Zhang Jun's goals were completed in the penalty area, but this time after receiving Yang Pan's pass, Zhang Jun shot low at the top of the penalty arc, and the football went around the goalkeeper's hands against the turf and drilled into the far corner! Brace! Warrendam leads again!
Amid Veronica's cheers, Zhang Jun stretched out his hand to signal his teammates not to come up and "stack Arhats". Then I saw him running to the sidelines, lifting his jersey in front of many cameras, and the words on the white vest were unusually clear:
"Resist [***], we are together!"
Yang Pan, who came on the side, also lifted his jersey, revealing the words inside.
It is conceivable that this photo will appear in the first place in China's major media and websites. Real Madrid's superstars once stood in front of the camera with signs against [***] to show their attitude, while another Chinese sports star, Yao Ming, also launched a fundraiser in the NBA. In this context, our own footballers are also showing their support in the most simple way: in the name of football, against [***]!
The reporters were taken aback, they couldn't imagine that the two children were so thoughtful that they would think of expressing their inner feelings in this way. But the flash flashed on the chests of the two of them.
Adrianse finally understood another important reason why the two of them were suddenly getting better again, and he smiled, these two children!
The game ended with a 2-1 win for Volendam against Utrecht, but Zvaru, who were behind them, also won and the gap between the two teams is still two points, so the road to relegation is not over and they still need to work hard. But no matter what, [***] is going to pass, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan's state has also picked up, and everything will be fine. Yes, everything will be fine......
PS: Here are some of your questions.
Dream two of you: "Are you a fierce chicken?" "It's the words of the people of Yucheng. Authentic Chengdu dialect to say fierce hammer.
Answer: Well, Xiang Tao is not from Chengdu, he is from Zigong, so what he says will naturally not be authentic Chengdu dialect, and in Zigong, "chicken" means "jb". Ho ho!
mimi1984: Listen to the waves, is the captain of Coach Qiu's National Olympic Games Liu Peng or Li Yongle? Will Li Yongle go to the National Olympics? ?
Answer: Li Yongle went back to the National Olympics, but not now. Now he is not very famous, and Qiu Suhui does not know his abilities.
ZY615: Big Brother Van der Vaart and Van der Meyde are AJAX don't know??????????
A: I've always been asked this question, but when I read what I wrote, it doesn't seem like anywhere that says the two are from other teams, right? Could it be that I didn't look closely? I hope that a clear friend will point it out to me, thank you!
Youngboy: Chinese coaches don't have so much power, they can change all the blood of the national team, because the so-called football association is too rubbish to give the rights to others
A: That's why I've set up a senior official within the Football Association. With him taking care of it, many things are easy to do.
Xiao Xiaohui: Lin Da, how do I think Qiu is like nonsense, is it really good to put such a team with him again, like that item is not worthy of the National Olympics, China is harmed by those uneducated players, why don't you recruit some good people, you don't have to be so rude to have a surname
A: I don't think there's anything wrong with that? A team can't be all mild-mannered, right? In that case, the team will lack the momentum to cope in many cases. So I designed a rude Xiang Tao. Although he is rude, he only does so when others provoke him, and other times he does not punch at every turn. Rudeness and lack of quality are completely two concepts, and a character like Xiang Tao may indeed read less books, but people who read less books may not necessarily spoil Chinese football. The senior officials of the Football Association read a lot, right? The result? Hehe, and Xiang Tao regrets that he is a relatively important second-tier character, and his existence is also crucial to the Chinese team, of course, the most important thing is his surname. If there is no such surname, Xiang Tao is not Xiang Tao.
Depressed milk powder: Lin Dada, why didn't Zhang and Yang enter the National Olympics? Is it an age issue? Isn't it possible to allow two over-age players?
A: These two people were not selected for the training list of the National Olympic Games, it is not that they were not selected for the National Olympic Games. People like Zhang Jun and Yang Pan don't need to work hard for a place in the training camp anymore, and the most important thing for them is to play every game in the Netherlands. Moreover, it is certainly impossible for Warrendam to let the two absolute main players return to China, just to participate in a training camp. Overseas players return home in the league three days before the game, and will not return home in the general training camp.
