Chapter 782: Kicking the Ball Resolution
While Chen Yu is participating in various events organized by the team in Europe to repay the advertising contracts that were not fulfilled during the competition, the Football Association of China's imperial capital is holding an important internal meeting against him.
It is the first time in the history of the Chinese Football Association that a meeting has been held specifically for one player, but Chen Yu is obviously a special case in the history of Chinese football, in a sense, his value status and appeal are even better than the entire Chinese football.
The most accomplished stars of Chinese football so far, although Hao Dong Fan Yi led the Chinese team into the World Cup, but how to rush out, everyone knows it, and these two people have never proven themselves in Europe, the highest level of world football, Sun Hai and Shao Gang, who can gain a foothold in European football, are just substitutes for middle and lower teams, and Li Huitang, the Asian football king who has been going back 100 years, has also achieved outstanding results in the national team, and has not proven his strength in European professional football.
But Chen Yu is different, he was unknown before the age of twenty-five, but after the age of twenty-five, he rose like a comet, leading Fiorentina to C2 in Serie A, which is known as the small World Cup, to create a miracle, and finally won the Serie A and the Champions League, and he himself won the top scorer in Serie A and the Champions League.
Thinking about the Chinese national team's main midfielder Ma Mingyu in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A, Perugia, and there is no chance of being a substitute, Chen Yu's strength and achievements are even more incredible.
If that's all, that's okay, Porto also won the Champions League, a blockbuster, and then there are a lot of mediocre and mediocre ones, but after Chen Yu's transfer to the more competitive Premier League, he once again led Liverpool to win the league championship that he hadn't won for 16 years, and also won the Champions League again, realizing his personal defense of the Champions League title.
It is not an exaggeration to convene a meeting on the issue of Chen Yu alone, not to mention that the upper-level bigwigs must speak to Chen Yu, and the Chinese Football Association can regard any suggestions and calls of fans as farts, but they dare not listen to the superiors.
There is no objection to inviting Chen Yu into the national team, but there is no objection to how to invite and how to arrange after the invitation, the entire Football Association has a big disagreement, and it is impossible to have no disagreement, because the contradiction between Chen Yu and the Football Association is not small, he did not give the Football Association a little face, it can be said that if Chen Yu gave the Football Association a little step, he would definitely not be excluded from the national team, and there will be more than the status of the head coach, but now, Chen Yu did not bow his head, under the pressure from above, The Chinese Football Association needs to bow to an ordinary player, which is very humiliating for the officials of the Chinese Football Association, large and small.
The Football Association is a social organization and has no administrative hierarchy. It and the General Administration of Sports Football Management Center is two brands and a set of people, the latter has an administrative level, the chairman of the Football Association is a department-level cadre, and the vice chairmen below are also deputy department-level cadres, although Chen Yu is more famous and has a lot of money, but it is also a common person, in a hierarchical China, it is indeed very difficult for these department-level officials to bow to him.
"I have no problem with letting Chen Yu come back, but isn't it a bit too much to go to the UK to find him?"
It was Yang Yong, vice chairman of the Football Association, who spoke and has always been very resolute in his opinion on Chen Yu, that is, to welcome Chen Yu back, but the Football Association cannot lose its dignity.
"As for the current relationship between the Football Association and Chen Yu, if we don't invite him, will he take the initiative to come back?"
Another vice chairman, Nanyang, disagreed.
"He'll come back sooner or later, I don't believe he doesn't want to make some achievements in the national team, players like them, after the club has no higher aspirations, they definitely need to achieve in the national team."
Yang Yong said confidently.
"But how does the leader explain it?" Nanyang retorted.
Yang Yong said: "I mean, you can't go to the UK to invite him, if he returns to China, of course we can visit him." ”
Nanyang said: "Then we will have face, in fact, it is better to do favors to the end." ”
Yang Yong said: "We can first hold a press conference to recruit Chen Yu, and then invite him privately, so that both sides can take care of their face." ”
Nanyang said: "If we go to invite Chen Yu, he still won't come, so we won't lose face even more." ”
Yang Yong said: "Although we have lost a little face, we have worked the task assigned by the leader, if he doesn't come, what can we do, we can't tie him up." ”
Yang Yong is a supporter of the current head coach of the national team, Zhu Guanghu, although he also supports Chen Yu to enter the national team, but he insists that the head coach is the soul of a team, if the player is put in too important positions, it is difficult for the team to achieve much good results, just like the French team in the 98 World Cup, if Cantona is not excluded from the national team, Xu will not be able to win the first championship in history.
On the one hand, he admitted that Chen Yu's personal ability is the best in the country, as long as Chen Yu is willing to take the initiative to enter the national team, he will personally go to the airport to greet him, but let him bow to a player, he is psychologically unacceptable. He also thought about what Yang Yong said just now, he originally thought that Chen Yu would take a step back first, but now that the leader has spoken, he has no time to wait any longer, so he can only take the initiative to give in, but he still hopes to have a plan for both worlds.
After thinking about it carefully, Yan Shiduo said: "What Chairman Yang Yong and Chairman Nanyang said makes sense, but I think you should also consider another thing, that is, Coach Zhu Guanghu's feelings, although Chen Yu's personal ability is extremely strong, it cannot replace the entire team, football is a sport of 11 people, and now there are only less than two months before the start of the Asian Cup, can Chen Yu integrate into the whole team when he comes?" Can the contradiction between him and Zhu Guanghu be resolved? Can the conflict between him and the main players of the national team be resolved? I think these are all things that we need to consider as a whole, rather than just inviting Chen Yu back. ”
Yan Shiduo said that he was righteous, but in fact, he only thought about it in the hope that he could invite Chen Yu back without losing his face and complete the orders of the high-level bosses.
When the chairman said this, the officials below, large and small, could only revisit the discussion.
After some disputes, Nanyang said again: "Whose affairs are responsible, Zhu Guanghu Coach and Captain Li Feng have unshirkable responsibility for Chen Yu's failure to enter the national team, they should first go to Chen Yu to explain clearly, and obtain Chen Yu's forgiveness, if the conflict between them and Chen Yu is resolved, it will be easier for Chen Yu to come back." ”
Nanyang's words have won the approval of almost everyone, including Yang Yong, a supporter of Zhu Guanghu, after all, this kind of face-losing and difficult thing to let his subordinates do, and he can't be a leader to ask for people, if Zhu Guanghu doesn't do it, then it can only be done by people from the Football Association, and other people are too light, and there are only three chairmen who can come out, in comparison, Yang Yong can only let Zhu Guanghu do this headache.
The Football Association's mind has been decided, and Vice Chairman Yang Yong immediately called Zhu Guanghu to inform him that Chen Yu should be invited back to the national team no matter what, which is an order and a task. After conveying the order of the Football Association, Yang Yong secretly instructed Zhu Guanghu a few words in private, telling him that this was the meaning of the upper-level leader, and he couldn't fool around like last time, and he had better go to Chen Yu in person, talk about entering the national team, and strive to get Chen Yu's understanding.
In addition to asking Zhu Guanghu to invite Chen Yu in person, the Chinese Football Association also issued an order to recruit players into the national team again, and there are only two people on the list, one is Sun Hai, who has returned from injury, and the other is Chen Yu.
The head coach of the national team, Zhu Guanghu, received a call when he was watching the game video at home, he listened to Yang Yong's words resignedly, and looked serious, but after hanging up the phone, Zhu Guanghu threw the remote control on the wall and scolded, "Bastard!" ”
However, scolding and scolding, Zhu Guanghu did not dare to disobey the orders of his superiors, unless he didn't want to do this coach.
After going around the office several times, Zhu Guanghu finally made up his mind to call Chen Yu's agent Zhang Shubin and ask when Chen Yu would return to China, and he was ready to put down his body and invite Chen Yu in person.
When the Chinese Football Association was anxious about how to invite Chen Yu, Zhang Shubin was also a little anxious in the UK, and he heard from a friend who worked in the Football Association that there was a big man in the Central Committee who said that the Football Association must invite Chen Yu back to the national team, and the main leaders of the Chinese Football Association were ready to come to the UK in person to invite Chen Yu back to the national team, and he began to think about how to gain more power and status for Chen Yu in the national team.
The old men of the Football Association want Chen Yu to go back, that is to let Chen Yu work hard for them, and make money for their promotion, and Chen Yu wants to go back more in the hope of playing better results in the national team and further improving his historical status in world football and Asian football.
However, Zhang Shubin waited for several days without waiting for the arrival of Yan Shiduo, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and did not even receive a phone call, only the national team call-up order on the "Sports Weekly" and "Football News", which made Zhang Shubin very angry, he chose to ignore the call-up order of the Chinese Football Association without consulting Chen Yu.
Zhang Shubin received a call from Zhu Guanghu It was already a day after the Football Association issued a call for Chen Yu to return to the national team, listening to Zhu Guanghu ask Chen Yu's itinerary, Zhang Shubin immediately understood the greasy, he coldly told Zhu Guanghu, Chen Yu had already seen his relatives in the Champions League final, and he would not return to China for the time being, and he would go on vacation abroad.
Zhu Guanghu is also an eight-sided exquisite old Jianghu, as soon as he heard Zhang Shubin's tone was wrong, he immediately understood that Zhang Shubin was shirking, and didn't want him to see Chen Yu, if there was no order from the Football Association, Zhu Guanghu would definitely say goodbye to Zhang Shubin directly, he had the courage to make such a decision, but now, Zhu Guanghu had no choice but to let the assistant coach temporarily take the team to train, and he and the assistant coach Guo Zuojin flew to England to find Chen Yu.
