Chapter 207: As a Joke
The female officer went on a blind date and asked the man, "Can you accept a female captain?" The man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously: "As long as you like it, you can do any position!" Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
No one thought that a foreign monk would shoulder such a big mission!
In everyone's opinion, You Mo has always done whatever he wants based on his personal preferences, and even the things that win glory for the country are enough to leave a name in history without hesitation.
This is actually the biggest reason why the FA's approach has been recognized by many people.
What if a guy who can't be used by the country, no matter how great his achievements are?
It's just a yellow-skinned gringo!
This perception is quite widespread, and even after he nodded his head and promised to return to the national team next year, the prevailing view is that he is under pressure to bow his head and not act willingly.
Just like someone who is used to hacking, any behavior can find black spots and magnify them until the truth is covered.
But this time, the truth is too big to cover up.
In other words, there is absolute strength behind the truth, and you need to pay the corresponding price for doing it!
Yuan Weiming deliberately chose to have a long talk with him in front of a group of Football Association officials, which was obviously not an act that arose together. The long talk involved all aspects of club building, and it was a topic that had been prepared for a long time.
No one knows what kind of past the two of them have, but from this long conversation, everyone can vaguely feel what kind of story this is.
Yes, in the domestic environment at that time, choosing to play abroad would confirm the identity of "betraying the country for glory", and no matter how whitewashed, it would not be recognized by the public. Yuan Weiming doesn't want his optimistic guy to bear this kind of infamy, and hopes that he can stay in China, like himself, from a player to a coach, and then a high power, all the way to create brilliance, until he becomes a legend.
As a result, it backfired, You Mo did not hesitate to be infamy, and even used "learning the operation and construction of excellent foreign clubs" as a condition to exchange for freedom.
Three and a half years have passed, and the two reunited at a historical node, although there are coincidences, but they are also famous for fulfilling their promises.
Since you've come all the way, there's always something to be left behind.
The result?
You Mo pointed out the way forward for national football, and Yuan Weiming personally testified for him, paving the way for his official return.
The story of the two has come to an end, and the real protagonists are like a world apart.
Only by standing high enough can you enjoy the scenery in the distance, get out of the trembling, and treat the upcoming finals with the right attitude.
For a long time, they have represented the only hope of national football in the world championships, and they are second only to the Chinese women's volleyball team in the senior team of the three major balls. At such a historic juncture at the turn of the century, they ushered in what was arguably the most important match of their careers.
And their opponent is the bitter host, the host team, the United States, who have not won for many years.
Last time, it was their opponents who took away the Olympic gold medal and left them with bitter consequences. This time the game was more weighty and the expectations were greater.
The pressure can be imagined.
Without a higher vision, a bigger goal, and a more domineering declaration, they don't know how to spend the 96 difficult 3,600 seconds from the semifinals to the finals.
It's okay, it's okay.
On October 21, 1999, at half past seven in the evening, under the gaze of more than 100 million pairs of eyes, the whistle sounded, and the black and white elves rolled up, towards the only goal, rolling!
No one knows where the end is.
The 22 girls on the field didn't know, the 50 million viewers who stood in front of the TV early in the morning didn't know, and You Mo in the stands didn't know.
As an audience, this kind of ignorance is full of helplessness.
Fortunately, at this time, at that time, now he can be like before, full of wins and defeats, but there is no trace in his heart.
On his left hand side sits Yan Shiduo, the future head of the Football Association, and on his right hand sits Yuan Weiming, the future head of the National Sports Bureau. At a juncture in the history of national football, the three of them reunited in a foreign country, and they all felt like they were separated from each other.
Because he had important things to do, Big Yan just rushed over yesterday. By the way, there is also the expected bad news.
Their Brazilian study team, which aims to win the 2000 Olympic Games, lost 1:2 to Bahrain in the just-concluded Asian finals and gave up their qualifying places!
If it weren't for the performance of the women's football team too strongly, this kind of chain drop at a critical moment would be enough to trigger a storm of public opinion comparable to the "5.19 incident".
“...... is too trusting, they all regard South Korea as an opponent, ignoring such an inconspicuous role as Bahrain. ”
Yan Shiduo was the director of the Department of Sports Policy and Regulation at this time, and also served as the director of the professional league supervisory committee. Compared with the previous director of the sports management office, his focus has shifted to the professional league, and his influence in the national team is much less than before.
The Asian finals of the Olympic qualifiers will be played in a double round-robin format, with the national Olympic team in a group with South Korea and Bahrain. With only one qualifying spot, the South Korean team has become the biggest obstacle and the best litmus test for whether the Olympic team can deliver satisfactory answers.
On their old rivals, they were not bad, following a 1-1 draw away to South Korea, and they secured a crucial three points with a narrow 1-0 win at home.
Just when everyone was relieved and felt that qualifying was worry-free, the Bahrain team, who had exited early, defeated them with a magical performance at home, allowing them to give up their precious places by a goal difference!
The head coach of the Olympic team at the time was Briton Bobby Horton, and to be on the safe side, the old gentleman recalled all the foreign students except Yumo Luwei. As a result, the more it seemed that the insurance was not safe, and in the last game, they stumbled and became the finger of Wanfu.
"It's useless to say more, let's sum it up." Yuan Weiming was silent for a while, shaking his head a little.
There really is nothing to say.
As the chairman of the Football Association, Yuan Da is actually only in name, no matter how influential he is, he still needs to have enough execution ability to implement what he says. On occasions like this, he represents the General Administration of Sports, the spokesperson of national honor, and shoulders the trust and sustenance of the central leadership. But a competition at the level of the Olympic qualifiers cannot be regarded as the focus of his work and be on his desk.
"yes, let's sum it up." Yan Shiduo was also a little silent, but after seeing the indifferent expression of the guy next to him, he suddenly remembered something, so he asked hatefully, "You guy, are you embarrassed to appear here?" ”
You Mo was still more restrained in joking in front of the leader, and this time was no exception, "What's so embarrassing, isn't it more important to win the championship here than to qualify over there?" ”
Yan Shiduo still wanted to express his indignation, but Yuan Weiming waved his hand and said: "Xiao Yan, don't blame him, first, someone doesn't want him to come in, and second, since he can't get out of the line, it's enough to explain the problem." ”
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere was suddenly a little silent.
There are times when the powerful will also be beyond the reach of power, and this matter in front of us is undoubtedly one of them.
You Mo offended the public on the matter of playing abroad, and in the end, in addition to his personal image becoming more and more black, the opinions within the Football Association about him were also quite large.
It's clear.
Such a world-class player refuses to be controlled by them, and the impact is too great, such as the World Youth Championships, Olympic Trials, World Cup Qualifiers, these games are full of weight but lack enough attractiveness, and you can't expect this to return to China at all!
If the strength is enough, the qualifiers will no longer be a roadblock, and the above problems will disappear. However, the strength of the national football team is limited, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the defeat of Manama.
"Yes, I thought that I would be able to take a big step forward by going abroad, but the results didn't seem optimistic."
Yan Shiduo broke the silence with a voice, and there was some helplessness in his voice.
The situation is clear, Youmo's friends have just gone abroad, they can adapt to the environment, and it is not easy to show their previous performance, how can they be expected to break out of the cocoon into butterflies and step into the world's top ranks?
And compared with the convenience and speed of playing football in China, the long distance brought by going abroad to stay abroad further reduced their combat effectiveness, so that they became ill from overwork, and as many as four people could not play before the last game!
Due to the lack of experience, this unplanned absence had a fatal effect, and the shortcomings formed by the lack of strength of the substitutes were exploited by the opponents, and finally achieved a magical reversal!
This situation will inevitably cause people's criticism of playing football abroad, and if someone is interested in taking advantage of it, it can hype up a vigorous national criticism.
If you don't have that strength, it's better to stay and make a big difference!
"It's no wonder that these two guys are so powerful, they think that they can ascend to the sky as soon as they go out, and domination of Asia is just around the corner!" Yuan Weiming smiled and pointed at You Mo, "Look, listening to what you said, he didn't worry at all!" ”
Yan Shiduo obviously knew the temper of this thing well, and when he heard it, he was not happy or angry, and said as usual: "He? When the sky falls, he can joke with you as if nothing happened! For example, in the game in front of him, hundreds of millions of people are anxious, and he is still in a happy mood watching it with a smile on his face! ”
You Mo couldn't bear to hear it, and fought back: "What's the matter, when I first came here, I couldn't eat the food I was worried about!" ”
The two bigwigs suddenly stopped talking, so they all asked, "When you first came?" ”
You Mo never put gold on his face, and this time was no exception, "yes, I've been worried all the way." ”
The corners of Yan Shiduo's mouth smiled, but his voice was cold, "I'm worried that your Li Juan won't be able to win the championship and refuse to retire?" ”
Without waiting for You Mo to speak, Yuan Weiming said with a smile: "To be exact, I should be worried that I won't be able to win the championship and will retire!" ”
The two words are changed, and the content is completely different. Yan Shiduo was a little surprised, and after reaching out and knocking off the thumb of the goods, he turned his head and asked, "It's only been a few days, and you know everything about him?" ”
Yuan Shiduo smiled even more on his face, waved his hand and said: "The day before yesterday, we were taught a lesson, saying that we should start with brand management and build up local teams, clubs, and national teams......
Yan Shiduo opened his mouth wide when he heard this, the kind that didn't disturb for a long time, fortunately, the girls of the women's football team were very powerful, and they played a beautiful counterattack at the right time, and Sun Wen took the lead in breaking the deadlock!
In the 31st minute of the game, the score was 1:0!
To be able to take the lead when the opponent is in full swing, the tactical level is crucial.
Zhou Xiaofeng played the role of a scout on this trip, using his more than ten years of experience in coaching women's football to give highly targeted advice through repeated and meticulous research.
In the attacking routine of the American team, the assist of the right back is an important part of the tactics, and if you want to use it in the counterattack, you need to use the fast left midfielder to create a killing opportunity!
Ma Yuanan decisively adopted this suggestion, and used Pu Wei, who was in the top three of the team at a speed of 100 meters, to take on the heavy responsibility, and finally achieved remarkable results.
Due to the congenital lack of physical condition of female football players, the tactical content in football will be very high. The kind of combat mode that expects the star to break out at a critical moment is rare in high-level games, but this kind of method of luring the enemy deep into the depths and attacking the enemy's shortcomings with his own strengths can make up for the gap in strength to the greatest extent.
Ma Yuan was aware of this, so he was not fooled by the high morale of the players, and still played defensive in the first half.
He knows very well that no matter how high the morale is, it must be supported by reasonable tactics in order to maximize his ability. If you think that morale can solve all problems, reality will be like cold water, turning morale into anger that has nowhere to release, and then pouring into everyone's hearts!
After taking a 1:0 lead, the girls of the women's football team played more easily, and the scene was no longer one-sided, and the two sides attacked and defended each other.
But just as the clock was about to run out of 45 minutes, all the spectators thought that the score of 1:0 would last until the end of the half, and the players of the American team won a penalty kick with a diving action in the penalty area, turning the score into 1:1!
The audience was in an uproar!
There are not a few Chinese in Los Angeles, and there are tens of thousands of Chinese people holding five-star red flags in this game. originally thought that there were enough people to be overwhelming, but now it seems that the home advantage has completely become a crushing trend!
The half-time break was not long in coming, but the noisy stands were silent.
"Let's go, we'll see."
Yuan Weiming's face was not very good-looking, and when he got up, his steps were a little big, and he almost fell.
Yan Shiduo's eyes were quick, and he stepped up with an arrow to help him. You Mo sat in the stands as if he hadn't heard it, and didn't move.
"Aren't you going?"
In the face of the inquiry, You Mo finally turned his head, as if he had finally gotten the answer after a long exam, and laughed.
"Go, why don't you go!"
The bright voice and smile eased the unhappy mood of the two bigwigs a little, but when they walked to a place only one door away, the Yankees, who deliberately made things difficult, stuck their way and said that they would not let the three of them pass.
Yan Shiduo suddenly became angry, and wanted to scold his mother a few words, but after thinking that the leaders were also treated the same, he held back, and said angrily: "I thought that democracy and freedom were talked about here, but it seems that other people's territory is always someone else's final say!" ”
