On November 2, after the match against Villa, it was time for the national team to play.

As Blackburn's results have risen, so have the number of internationals on Blackburn's side. Pire, Miku, Makelele, Duff, Hyypia, Rio Ferdinand, Van Bronckhorst, Sagnol and the others have all made it to the national team.

But George knows that many of them are not necessarily the main players. Especially the French players, Pire, Miku, Makelele, Sagnol, although they joined the national team, they are all marginal figures of the French national team.

And even the main players are in Europe. The problem is not very big.

But there is one person who is in trouble. That is Sun Jihai, and the Chinese team is also going to play at this time.

Sun Jihai finally became Blackburn's main player, and George did not want Sun Jihai to return to China to play. And now it's not an important game, it's just a warm-up game, and the Chinese Football Association is going to recruit Sun Jihai back to China.

When he received the fax from the Chinese Football Association, George couldn't wait to refuse directly on the spot. However, after thinking about Sun Jihai's position, he still endured it.

At that time, the Internet was not yet widespread in China, and many fans knew the news from newspapers. If it really angered the Chinese Football Association, they scribbled in the newspaper, saying that Sun Jihai was unwilling to play for the country or something. At that time, Sun Jihai is likely to become the target of everyone's shouting in Chinese football.

After all, Sun Jihai is Chinese and has his own connections in China. If it really becomes a situation where everyone shouts and fights, it will be a big blow to Sun Jihai at that time.

And the Chinese players at that time were proud to be selected for the national team.

If the Chinese Football Association gets angry and expel Sun Jihai. At that time, George didn't know what Sun Jihai would think of himself in his heart?

Therefore, George discussed with the Chinese Football Association in a consultative tone whether this kind of warm-up match or something could not allow Sun Jihai to participate. But the Chinese Football Association thought that Sun Jihai had to participate, which made George grit his teeth.

In fact, there are many ways to avoid players participating in the national team in later generations. The easiest thing to do is to say that the player has an injury and then not go to the national team. But George thought about Sun Jihai's position and couldn't make such a decision.

If it's Europe, there's no problem. Mom, this is going to China, to Asia. Asia, that is, to circumnavigate half the world. After playing two games in the past, how can Sun Jihai still play. Sun Jihai is not an iron man.

With Sagnol's injury, George's expectations for Sun Jihai have increased greatly.

Sun Jihai is still young, and his strength is not weak. And from playing in League One last season, to playing at Blackburn this season. Sun Jihai's physical strength has increased dramatically, and he is very adaptable to the rhythm of English football.

George believes that if he came to England early, Sun Jihai will definitely be much better than Sun Jihai in history.

Sun Jihai in history has been able to play the main role in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League like Manchester City. With Sun Jihai's current level of development, when he is twenty-three or four years old or twenty-four or twenty-four years old, he will not have a problem even if he rotates to play games with Sagnol.

But if the Chinese national team's game is always so interfering, it will have a great impact on Sun Jihai's status in the club.

This question should be thought of.

Now it's just Sun Jihai's problem. I always thought that if Deco performed well, he would probably be selected by the Brazilian team. At that time, I just thought that if Deco was selected for the Brazilian team, it would be very encouraging for Deco. But now when you think of Brazil, it's not close. There are also Drogba and Essien, who will enter the national team in the future and play the Africa Cup of Nations.

Thinking about it, my head hurts.

At this time, George slowly realized the benefits of European players. Even if European players are not as skilled as South American players and their physical fitness is not necessarily as good as African players, they are also better than South American and African players in terms of technical and tactical ability and self-discipline.

On top of that, most of the games are played in Europe. It's not like players from other continents, where national team matches are about to fly around.

…………

"Coach Levy, I heard that you are very dissatisfied with Sun Jihai's return to China to play."

Wu Mengxue is very happy today. George's coach has always been difficult to interview. Although George is often in front of the media, he rarely gives exclusive interviews.

Among the world's media, the only person who can exclusively interview George is Steven in the Blackburn Evening News. Yellen. Among other peers, Yellen is George's face in the media. With the exception of Ms. Yellen, few reporters have been able to get George to do an exclusive interview.

"Yes. Sun Jihai is a very important player in my plan. Travelling halfway around the world to play in Asia will have a big impact on his development at the club. George made no secret of his opinion.

"But Coach Levy, it's an international game. If they don't return to China to play because of the development of the club, what will happen to the national team? Even if this kind of lawsuit goes to FIFA, the club has no chance of winning. ”

Although in front of him is the current England red hot local coach. And he is a coach with a very poor surname, but Wu Mengxue is not nervous at all or follows George's words. After all, Wu Mengxue has already entered CCTV at a young age, how can she enter CCTV so easily if she doesn't have a certain background.

He was also sent to Europe and became one of CCTV's representative reporters in Europe.

Therefore, Wu Mengxue is also quite confident.

George looked at the sharp-toothed Wu Mengxue and smiled. Although George smiled kindly, in the eyes of reporter Wu Da, it was like a monster with a big mouth.

"For Sun Jihai to serve the country, I am in favor of it." A player playing for his country, George will never stand in the way. In particular, the education he received in China in his previous life has been deeply ingrained in George's bones. In his previous life, George was also one of the little angry youths, if Sun Jihai was really unwilling to serve the country, George would look down on Sun Jihai.

"If it is a World Cup qualifier and an Asian Cup, not only will I not stop it, but I will also encourage Sun Jihai to go." George said slowly. "But what I'm against is that Sun Jihai goes to participate in those friendly matches and other competitions. For this kind of competition, let Sun Jihai go around half the world. I absolutely disapprove of that. ”

"Think about it, if Chinese players want to do this in the future, they will participate in friendly matches that are useless. Then European clubs will definitely shake their heads at the Chinese players. ”

George was full of worries about the Chinese Football Association for letting Sun Jihai participate in such a useless friendly match.

Seeing the scratch in George's tone, reporter Wu smiled unkindly.

"Coach Levy, you're thinking from your point of view. But have you ever thought that the national team also needs to be run-in? These friendly matches are the run-in process, if Sun Jihai can't participate in this kind of friendly match, how can his national team position be guaranteed at that time. ”

George took a closer look at the beautiful reporter in front of him, this reporter was sharp-tongued.

"I know that the Chinese national team will always have a period of closed training before the competition, in the words of the Chinese Football Association."

Wu Mengxue nodded unconsciously, but she was a little surprised in her heart. Although I knew that George spoke Chinese well, I didn't expect that even Chinese football knew so well.

"Reporter Wu, I believe you are well-informed. Have you ever seen a strong team in Europe do any training before a game? They all concentrate a few days before the competition, and then they practice together for two days and then go straight to the game. But their results are just as good. ”

"A lot of their players don't usually have the opportunity to work together at all, and when they get to the national team, they just play a few games and then break up. But there is no problem with why they cooperate, and there is no problem. Only the Chinese team is engaged in training camps every time, at least half a month or 20 days. But every time you compete, do you still have all kinds of coordination problems? Have you ever thought about it? ”

Wu Mengxue thought for a while and looked at George with a smile. Want to hear George's answer.

"A good player like Sun Jihai, even if he doesn't train with the national team, he doesn't play this kind of useless friendly match. As long as you go to the national team, you can easily integrate into the team. Like the players of the big teams in Europe and the United States, they all went through this process. ”

"For Chinese football to really develop, the league is fundamental. And China should get more players out there and train in high-level competitions like Europe. And it's even more important to protect the good players who play in Europe. Don't let them delay their development at club for those unnecessary games. ”

"Sun Jihai is a good player and has the potential to become the most successful player in the world for Chinese players. I hope that Chinese football can protect Sun Jihai. ”

George's last words are fundamental.

George hopes that Wu Mengxue can build a bridge for George and have a good discussion with the officials of the Chinese Football Association. The development of Chinese football is beyond George's control, and in terms of the environment of Chinese football, the development of Chinese football is simply impossible.

More than ten or twenty years later, maybe there will be a turnaround.

But these are not under George's jurisdiction, and George only wants to take care of Sun Jihai's affairs. Sun Jihai is a player of his own and an important part of Blackburn. George doesn't want the Chinese Football Association to ruin Sun Jihai, who is on the rise.

Wu Mengxue nodded, already understanding what George meant.

George likes smart people, especially smart people like Reporter Wu.

Sun Jihai, I can only help here. George really hopes that the Chinese Football Association can be gracious, and George will never stop Sun Jihai in those important games of the national team. But in this kind of worthless friendly match, George really doesn't want to recruit Sun Jihai again.

After talking about Sun Jihai, the two began to talk about some other topics.

After chatting like this, George found out that the reporter who came out of CCTV still had a lot of ink in his stomach. He dabbled in many aspects, and even George's vaunted talent for language could only be bowed to in front of her.

The journalist, who was many years younger than George, knew nine languages. Even George was greatly surprised, this is a real proud daughter of the sky.
