Chapter 50: The Game
Although Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi came to visit privately, because the influence of the two in domestic football is too great, even if You Mo is unwilling to delve into it, the family can learn some news through other channels.
The main leadership team of the Football Association will begin to change in another year, and these positions that are about to be vacated are fragrant in the eyes of everyone. If we can make some achievements in this year's time, the General Administration and even the central leaders will be able to make some outstanding achievements, and the direct benefits will be known by thinking about it on your toes.
This year, apart from the domestic league and next year's Women's World Cup and men's Olympic qualifiers, there are no major tournaments worth mentioning. Needless to say, the domestic league, although chaos is just a word, but the forces in all aspects have gradually become balanced, and it is not something that can be done in a short period of time if you want to break it in one fell swoop, or even establish a dynasty and dominate Asia.
The Women's World Cup is the greatest hope of the Chinese people, but it is not rich enough and has limited status, even if there are vacancies that look good, it cannot be compared with the men's football team.
The men's Olympic qualifiers are a hard task, but even if they qualify, it is only a passing performance, and it is still far from the expectations of the Chinese people.
In this way, if you want to make some achievements in this year, only the influence brought by the international players staying abroad is worth looking forward to.
Yan Shiduo has been unswervingly on this road since the 93 Jianlibao Trials, and now it seems that the time is ripe. In the past few years, his old man has been bright or dark, direct or curved, and he has made a lot of efforts in the international team's stay abroad.
Even You Mo and Lu Wei can develop so smoothly, all of which are due to his secret help.
Of course. The two still refused the call of the national team after the World Cup in France, which also put a lot of pressure on his old man. But the strange thing is that they have always had a good relationship with each other. I didn't communicate through any way after this happened!
This kind of seemingly well-intentioned thing that raised a white-eyed wolf made him secretly ridiculed.
However, ridicule is ridicule, and his old man is still unswervingly moving away on this road. Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi are the stars of two top clubs in China, and this time they were able to go all the way to London for on-the-spot investigation, and his role in mediating in person is full of weight.
Early in the morning of the weekend, the General Office of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China.
The one who is still open and ready to pick up customers during non-working hours is this black-faced man from Liao Province.
Yan Shixue is 46 years old this year. It is in the prime stage of its officialdom career. A year later, this opportunity is a great deal for anyone who wants to make a difference in professional sports, and he is no exception.
Compared to other competitors. His chips are sufficient, but leadership depends on results, and simple long-term benefits cannot receive immediate results.
"Director Yan, morning."
Compared with the black-faced man who sits upright and is not angry and arrogant. The smile on the face of the man who came in was much more humble. Of course. If you look closely at his eyes, you can still find the shadow of shrewdness and ability under the low-key appearance of the man in the magic capital.
Zhu Guanghu, who is three years older than Yan Shiduo, has slowly recovered from Jianlibao's stunning performance after returning from studying abroad, and is now helping Bobby Horton adapt to Chinese football as an assistant. The Football Association is in a turbulent stage, and his low-key and introverted cannot completely cover up the limelight of the representative of the foreign faction.
"Lao Zhu's spirit of cleaning up today." Yan Shiduo had obviously been waiting for him, and after meeting, he didn't say a few polite words, but went straight to the point, "How is it." What is the attitude of the two guys, one big and one small? ”
can make the leader so worried, and the resistance of the international player to stay abroad can be imagined.
Day. Location, people, and the three can only fulfill a wish, and Yan Shixue now clearly understands how difficult this matter is.
According to his original plan, only two of the 11 wishes have been fulfilled, with two on the road and two on the starting line.
"The day before yesterday, I went to You Datou's house as a guest, and I was blown on the phone. Yesterday I went to the Arsenal base for a day, and in the evening I was determined. ”
As a representative of the foreign faction, Zhu Guanghu didn't know what it was like.
The higher professional football goes, the more brutal the competition becomes, and the higher the elimination rate. Body, technique, consciousness, of course, mind, vision, wrist, and finally luck, like seven dragon balls, can only replicate the path that the two guys have walked.
It was Sun Jihai who called him to report the situation, although the two failed to share weal and woe in Brazil, but Zhu Guanghu has actually been concerned about this young man who has nothing to do with him, and he has been in contact with each other in private in recent years, and the relationship is much better than outsiders imagined. Although Fan Zhiyi and him are fellow countrymen, the two of them are used to being leaders in their respective fields, and their personal relationship is not as good as the one above.
"Didn't you ask that guy to come forward and take a closer look?" One stone in Yan Shiduo's heart fell to the ground, and another floated up again.
If things go too well, there will always be hidden dangers left, and he has been an official for many years and knows the truth well.
Everything should not be too much, and the right twists and turns are a good foreshadowing for success.
"I also wondered, I also gave a special order when I went, and I believe that You Datou will not sell me face. What's the matter, it's only been two days, and the main owner has made up his mind without seeing it? Zhu Guanghu's psychology is also not steady, the reason is the same as above.
"Of the two guys, I'm actually more worried about Lao Fan, but Xiao Sun is more secure than him, have you asked for any reason?" Yan Shiduo pondered for a while, unable to find an idea, so he asked.
"I asked, and I said that it was an eye-opener, and I felt that as long as I could come out, it would be fine." Zhu Guanghu scratched his head a little, obviously feeling that the answer he gave was a little mentally retarded.
Can you easily give up the comfortable days at home when you open your eyes?
When I opened my eyes, I felt that I had no problem, and I would definitely be able to get ahead and come back?
Both of them are 50 years old, are they still like rebellious teenagers, desperate for freedom?
"Oh"
Yan Shiduo did not object, and after a period of silence, he spoke: "The necessary reminders still have to be given. It's nothing if Lao Fan can't listen to it, and Xiao Sun can't be hot-headed. ”
Zhu Wenhu nodded and didn't say anything.
Although Fan Zhiyi is the first brother of the national football team. After all, age is there, and the upside is very limited. Sun Jihai is the real owner of the huge expectations of the two people here, in addition to age, the heart is also quite close to the two successful cases, and it seems that he is the most mature professional player of this age group in China.
"In my opinion, this visitor must have seen or heard something unusual. You has been messing around behind our backs for the past few years, and the things that come up seem to be more effective than our words. "Yan Shiduo seemed to have finished the long exam. He laughed as he spoke.
"Director Yan and I want to go together!" Zhu Guanghu patted his thigh, and he already laughed out loud without making up his brain.
The relationship between the two has become worse than before with the intersection of work content, and the title of "Lao Yan" disappeared in public after Zhu Guanghu was transferred to the senior national team. Privately, but not distant. Although this kind of communication is in the office, the two of them seem to have a sense of leisure after tea and dinner.
But soon, the figure passing in front of the door made the good mood of the two of them discounted.
Xue Ming.
This benevolent brother has been mixed with the spring breeze in recent years, and his tentacles are stretched out everywhere. All over the corner. He is now the director of the sought-after A-League Organizing Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the Football Association.
The opportunity in front of him is a must-win for him, but his chips are in the professional league, and he obviously can't take the formal way if he wants to compete with the Liuyang faction.
"Do you think we're worrying a little too much, and not letting go enough?" Yan Shiduo quickly put away his smile, and his face was already serious.
Zhu Guang paused for a moment, and after careful consideration in his heart, it was still difficult to confirm whether the guy in front of him was deliberately telling people outside. So he said haha: "Yes, but it can't be blamed." The current players are not as good as before, people are poor and naturally willing to listen to people's advice, and it is rare for a few to listen to the advice of the people. ”
"No, look at those two guys, are they every step of the way beyond imagination, do they never refuse the help of others, and they will not mess up their steps because of others?" Yan Shiduo shook his head slowly, his voice becoming low.
"Well, indeed." Zhu Guanghu was slightly surprised, his eyes turned back from outside the door, and he looked at the black-faced man in front of him with his eyes closed and contemplative.
Beneath the rugged exterior, there is a flow of solemn thoughts.
"There is no way to replicate the road, the example is there, let's let it go, let them think more on their own, and they can also deal with more complex situations in the future."
"Got it."
"By the way, did the post say hello to Da Yu?"
"Hit. The club is not easy to pass, and the lion is wide open. ”
"Well, I'll figure it out."
After the ninth round of the Premier League, You Mo felt like he had become a half-immortal.
I had just told the two guys who came to visit the door that the Premier League team was full of energy, and the back foot was smashed 1:2 by the Hammers who came to the door.
There was not much to say about the game, it was just a game in which the visitors found a good opportunity to counterattack by defending to the death, and finally won the game through the excellent performance of individual players and the bonus of luck.
After playing three games in a row in eight days, Youmo was refrigerated by Arsene Wenger for 75 minutes. As a result, it was 1:1 before the game was played, and within two minutes of playing, the task of rewriting the score was successfully completed.
It's a pity that the opponent took the initiative to rewrite.
The Arsenal team did not play badly in this game, but the equalizer in the last minute of the first two consecutive games obviously overdrew their luck, and they were killed by the opponent without temper.
The team's only goal came just before half-time, when Overmars cut inside on the wing. The first of the two goals conceded came in the 35th minute of the first half, when the free-kick defense was seized by the opponent and the header smashed through Seaman's ten fingers. The second came in the 77th minute, when Arsenal, who were pushing forward to win the opposition, were broken through the defence by a long counter-attack, and finally Frank Lampard struck home from the edge of the box to sink the Arsenal in one fell swoop.
Although such a defeat is somewhat surprising, there is nothing wrong with tasting it carefully, after all, everyone has a time when the boat capsizes in the gutter, and after a series of vicious battles, the opponent plays well and leads to a home loss, and no one feels unjust in their eyes.
Yumo and Ljungberg sat on the bench for most of the game, and although there was an exchange, they often disappeared after a few sentences. The reason is naturally that the opponent's performance is really flawless, and with the current state of the Arsenal team, it is not easy to win.
Of course, this kind of rebellious thought can be passed on by the two through their eyes, and if they really want to praise the opponent's performance on the bench, no matter how good-tempered the coach is, he can't look at it directly.
If you can't win an opponent at this level, Arsenal is actually still an old problem.
All the players did their best, but this level of effort was just to play to their own level, their potential was not stimulated by the opponent's blood, and they still followed the usual rhythm. As a result, their luck and physical strength have been overdrawn due to schedule problems, and the opponent has been upgraded by the mental bonus brought by challenging the defending champion.
Double-fronts must rely on rotation to stay competitive, a proven iron rule, and Arsenal's current squad is clearly unable to cope with the sudden rise in high-density and difficult games, even if there are no major injuries, the need to replenish and tap potential has jumped above the surface.
You Mo didn't worry about this, after hearing the whistle at the end of the game, he immediately found the opponent's goalkeeper and wanted to experience a 150+ IQ level.
"Congratulations, the goal was beautiful." You Mo took off his jersey and used a bad street opening line.
"Thank you, you've done a great job too." Although Frank Lampard is only 20 years old, he does not look like a new man in terms of face and aura, and when he speaks, his eyes are full of energy and focus.
"You broke your right leg two years ago, and now you can't see how you did it."
You Mo obviously came prepared, and as soon as this question was asked, the opponent was suddenly a little surprised.
You guy, who just came to the Premier League, didn't get to know those big stars, staring at me as a newcomer to a small team?
Frank Lampard suffered a fractured right leg against Aston Villa for West Ham United at the end of '96 and was off for half a year before continuing his under-favoured career in '97-98.
After all, the psychological impact of a nightmarish leg break at such a young age can be much greater than the physical one.
"Yes, it's not easy, I once thought about giving up, but when I was lying in the hospital bed, I had nightmares and my spirit was about to collapse."
"What sustained you through the hardest days?"
"Well, it might make you laugh when you say it. I love playing games, all kinds of games, and thanks to Pro Evolution Soccer during that time, I was able to continue to refine my dreams. ”
"Perfect?"
"Yes, it seems to others to be just a game, but I think I'm a little sorry for the developer's kindness if I don't use my brain."
"I also like to play games and talk when I have time."
"Thank you, you're more relatable than you ever thought."
"You're welcome." (To be continued......)
