To clarify, the background of this book is basically unchanged before the summer of 2003.

What will happen after 2003 will be a whole new story, which can be seen as half-overhead.

Put some absolutely true information, so that book friends don't misunderstand me and make up nonsense in the novel.

Lin Qiuli

TscheuLaLing (also written as TschenLaLing, pronounced in pinyin: tiulaling)

In the history of international football, a star with Chinese ancestry who dominated continental football in the late 70s and early 80s of the 20th century has never appeared in front of Chinese mainland fans. His name is Lin Qiuli

Mainlanders don't know who Lin Qiuli is, but at the end of the 70s, Lin Qiuli's name once resounded in Xiangjiang. More than 20 years ago, when Lam and his new wife, wearing Ajax's No. 9 jersey, appeared at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, crazy Hong Kong fans held a huge portrait of Lam Qiuli and waited for a long time. At that time, Lin Qiu was on an equal footing with Cruyff in Dutch football. It can be said that Lin Qiuli took the lead in breaking the embarrassing situation of the Chinese in world football.

The reporter team of this newspaper went to the Netherlands to report on the European Cup, and before leaving, everyone discussed that Lin Qiuli must be found out of the flow of people in the sea, so that all Chinese fans know the pride of the Chinese dragon in world football. But "Lin Qiuli" is obviously just a Chinese name, and just mentioning the Chinese name, no Dutch fan will know who he is.

The reporter stayed in the hotel opened by the Chinese in Rotterdam, and the person in charge of the hotel, Li Wei, moved to the Netherlands in the 80s, chatted with Li Wei about Zvaru, where Xie Yuxin had played, and also talked about the friendly match between the Chinese team and the Dutch team in Tilburg in 1996, and inadvertently Li Wei said an important message: "There was once a Chinese named Zhouna Lin who played in Ajax and also played in the Dutch national team, and the Chinese who were a little older knew the name of Zhou Na Lin." ”

The reporter immediately reacted that Zhou Na Lin is Lin Qiuli's English pronunciation, but Li Wei couldn't spell Zhou Na Lin's English writing, but he told the reporter that the Dutch Football Association has files of previous national team players, so you can inquire about it. The reporter then dialed the phone of the Dutch Football Association, and the person who answered the phone was a female secretary, who heard "Zhou Na Lin", she thought for a long time and said: "I know this person, but I can help you find it when our person in charge comes back." You know everybody's busy with the Euros right now, can you call back tomorrow? The reporter continued to follow this clue and called again the next day, just in time for the Dutch team to play the French team that day, the young lady was a little impatient: "It's the European Cup, if you can wait for a while, you can call after the European Cup." "Reporter: I will return to China after the European Cup, and it seems that the clue of the Dutch Football Association has been cut off.

The reporter mistakenly thought that it was a good idea to call and ask about the Ajax club, but the Ajax club phone was always the sound of phone messages, and it was obvious that the Ajax people were enjoying the sunshine of the holiday.

Later, whenever reporters met a Chinese person when they were interviewing in Europe, they would ask: "Do you know Zhou Na Lin?" Most Chinese fans will proudly say, "Yes." But we don't know where he is now, and he rarely participates in the activities of Chinese organizations. "Has Zhou Na Lin disappeared?

On the first day of the European Cup, the reporter finally found a clue by chance. A reporter chatted with Yang Huagen, the chairman of the Dutch Chinese Sports Federation, and Yang Huagen heard that he was looking for Zhou Na Lin, saying that he now lives in The Hague and has opened a sports and health food company called "FITSHAPE" there. Subsequently, Zhang Jihe, a Chinese coach who has obtained a Dutch senior coaching certificate, volunteered to match reporters. Zhang Jihe said: "A few days ago, I interviewed Zhou Na Lin for a reporter from Hong Kong Cable TV, and I can take you to him, but Zhou Na Lin does not speak Cantonese, let alone Mandarin, he can only speak English or Dutch. After repeated requests from reporters, Zhang Jihe immediately dialed the phone, and the long-awaited voice of Zhou Na Lin came from there: "I can be interviewed by you tomorrow, but after 3:30 p.m." ”

I miss my grandfather

The interview didn't start well, and the first sentence of Zhou Na Lin was the boss's tone, saying, "I only have 20 minutes today, so try to ask questions as quickly as possible." The reporter cut straight to the topic: "Mr. Lin, can you sue us, where are your ancestors?" Apparently asked, he said, "It seems to be in the middle of China, by the sea." The reporter asked, "Is it Shanghai?" He shook his head and said, "No...... I can't tell. Zhou Na Lin's face was a little red with embarrassment, and the Chinese could not tell their ancestral home in front of the Chinese, which was a little unreasonable.

In desperation, Zhou Na Lin turned on his mobile phone and explained to everyone: "This is my grandfather's hometown, who is 85 years old this year, and he came to the Netherlands with my grandfather. He knows where our home is. Anna Lin and the old gentleman laughed and laughed in Dutch, and then handed the phone to the reporter. The reporter tried to use Mandarin, Cantonese and English to inspire the old man's thinking, but the old man said that he could only speak Wenzhou dialect, and after some repeated identification, he finally knew that the ancestral home of Zhou Na Lin mentioned by the old man was Qingtian County near Wenzhou, and Zhou Na Lin's Chinese name should be Lin Qiuli.

found his roots, Lin Qiuli also had more words, and Zhang Jihe next to him whispered to the reporter: "I heard him say that the interview lasted for 20 minutes, you just have to ask casually, and now he has found the feeling of talking." Speaking of his grandfather, Lin Qiuli's admiration is overflowing: "I still can't forget my grandfather, he passed away 6 years ago. I also have a picture of my grandfather, which I took with my grandmother. My grandmother is Dutch. Lin Qiuli then gestured with his hand and said, "My grandfather is very short, and my grandmother is much taller than him, and it is very interesting for them to stand together and take pictures." "Lin Qiuli is 1.85 meters tall, and it seems that this is due to his grandmother's genes.

Lin Qiuli admired his grandfather very much: "Listening to my grandfather's fellow villagers, my grandfather originally had a big house in Wenzhou, which was also passed down from my ancestors. Later, my grandfather sold his ancestral house and came to the Netherlands by way of Indonesia. That would have been in the late '20s or early '30s. When he arrived in The Hague, he opened a noodle factory called Songqi. At that time, the reporter thought that "Songqi" might be a homonym for an auspicious word, and the name must have a certain origin. Lin Qiuli recounted: "My grandfather's fellow villager who talked to me on the phone just now said that his original ancestral house is still there, and he went back to the mainland once last year, and he also went to Qingtian's hometown to have a look. ”

Speaking of his grandfather, Lin Qiuli suddenly remembered something, he ran to his desk to look for it, took out a note, and told the reporter: "This is my grandfather's name, this is my name." The note said "Lin Songqi" and "Lin Qiuli" underneath, and the reporter realized that the "Songqi" noodle factory used his grandfather's name, and the reporter asked: "Is Lin Qiuli your grandfather's name?" Lin Qiuli nodded, and the reporter joked with him: "Is it that when you were born, your grandfather had thought that you would play football and make a name for yourself, so he named Qiuli." Lin Qiuli shook his head and said, "That's not the case, grandpa just hopes that I can have a bright future." ”

In the late 70s, the Hong Kong media, which first disclosed the background of Lam Qiu Lap, had been misspelling Lam Qiu Lap as "Lam Qiu Na" based on the Cantonese pronunciation, and even spread false rumors, and over the years, people overseas have called him Lin Qiu Na, or according to the English translation habits of Hong Kong people, Zhou Na Lam. Lin Qiuli said: "I did not inherit my grandfather's noodle factory, my father took over my grandfather's business as it was, and my eldest brother is still running the noodle factory, and my other younger brother runs a company with me. ”

Lin Qiuli's experience of playing football was more difficult than that of his complicated Chinese family background, and he gushed about his experiences at Ajax, Panathinaikos and Marseille.

Ajax's number 9

Lin Qiuli has been fascinated by football since he was a child. "I came from a street football background, and when I was 6 or 7 years old I started playing football on the streets. In the Netherlands, football is the number one sport and there are many people who play the ball well, but my skills stand out. Although my body is not as good as others, I am very good at saving my body. Because of my speed, I always score a lot of goals. ”

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, many second division teams became interested in Lin Qiuli, but Lin Qiuli was reluctant to leave his hometown to play in the second division at a low level. At the age of 15, Lin joined a local amateur team in The Hague and quickly rose to prominence. A year later, Dutch first division club ADO Hague took the 16-year-old Lin Qiu under their hands. At that time, the Ajax team also sent an invitation to Lin Qiuli, but Lin Qiuli politely declined: "I played football for entertainment at that time, and I didn't treat it as a job. So I didn't have time to go to Amsterdam for vocational training. In 1974, Ajax acquired the 19-year-old Lin Qiuli into the team, and Lin Qiuli's illustrious career began. Lin Qiuli's first coach was Michels, the famous Dutch "Godfather of Football". Michels has coached clubs such as Ajax and Barcelona, and led the Netherlands to victory in 1988. Lin recalled that Michels was particularly skillful, and when he first joined the team, Michels said to him: "As long as you listen to me, I will make you a better player." In his first season, Lim was a substitute and played only 15 games, but his characteristics were already evident: "I'm fast, I'm technically good, I'm especially good at breaking down the wings, I'm a goalscorer. ”

It was the most glorious era for Ajax, with stars such as Neeskens and Collor there, "They were the main players of the national team, they had a very good relationship, they were all young, and I was still very young. I play as a winger, one-on-one at the back is a breeze. It's just that the style of play was rough at the time, not like now, with red and yellow cards, and the black-hearted defenders always kicked the knee from behind, so I was often injured and then people could only comfort you with 'don't cry'. ”

Michels changed Lin's style of play. Michels is very strict with his players' ball control skills, but he doesn't like players to show off their skills and ask them to play the ball as best they can on the court. The "Father of Attacking and Defence" ordered his players to run as hard as they could on the field, which made it difficult for Lin Qiuli to adapt," said Michels, adding that genius must also be based on hard work. I was not in good physical condition and ran out of body after half an hour and had to be substituted. I can't use my skills to the fullest. ”

A year after Lin Qiuli joined the team, Yugoslav Ivic took over from Michels. Lin Qiuli spoke of Ivic with great reverence: "I have studied with many famous coaches, such as Michels, Happel, Wilkes, etc., but Ivic is the only coach I love. He taught me how to play with ease. "He asked the defenders to pass the ball to me, and my team-mates ran when I had the ball, and then I gave them a pass of about 10 yards. This made my running task much easier. Some coaches just emphasised the need for the players to integrate into the team, but Ivic was the only one who played my part. ”

Lin gradually established himself in the Ajax team, wearing the number 9 shirt. But at the age of 23, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to participate in the 1978 World Cup. "I was too young, I played a lot of games in the season that had just ended, I was very tired, I didn't want to travel all the way to Argentina, so I quit the national team before the World Cup. Others would say it was a stupid decision, but I was more than happy to enjoy life in the Netherlands and staying at home made me happy. Lin Qiuli didn't have the idea of playing for the national team until later, but he only made 16 appearances for the Dutch national team, "The national team is a different style, I can't play to my fullest. In the history of Dutch football, Lin Qiuli may be one of the few stars who does not like the Dutch style of "attacking and defending", but he cannot play for the national team, not only because of the incompatible tactical style, but also because of Lin Qiuli's Chinese ancestry.

Lin played for Ajax for seven years and won five domestic league and cup titles. In 1981, at the age of 26, he moved to Panathinaikos in Greece. The reporter wondered why Lin Qiuli left the European club Ajax, he explained, "I gradually became the No.1 of Ajax, all the fans in the stadium cheered for me, and the 10 teammates who came on the pitch all worked around me, which was a burden for me. The coach had high expectations for me and sometimes clashed with me and I just walked away. ”

Lin played for Panathinaikos for two years and was exposed to a different style of football. 'There are very few good players there, my skills are unbeatable and people like me very much. Greece is located on the seaside, with a lot of woods and beautiful scenery, and I arrived with the intention of going on holiday and not caring about the result, I only finished third in the league in the first year, and the next year I won the championship with the team. In 1983, Lin moved to Marseille, where he played for two years, regretting that "by the time I left Marseille, Tapi had not yet become the owner of the team. In 1985, Lin returned to Rotterdam, not far from home, to join Feyenoord.

Lin Qiuli thinks that his performance has not been very good in recent years. Living abroad made him a lot of money, and he earned 1 million guilders (about $500,000) a year in Greece, which made his desire to play football gradually weakened. "It's not a good thing that I became rich in my 20s. The older you get, the more aware you are of the mistakes you have made in the past. That's how life is. The game was pressed one after another, but Lin Qiuli was depressed. One day, the president of Feyenoord asked Lin Qiuli: "Do you still like to play?" If you like it, cheer up, and if you don't, we'll find another solution. Lin Qiu immediately replied: "Mr. President, I can definitely play better!" "Two weeks later, the invincible Lin Qiuli was resurrected." I keep creating chances for the strikers to see if they can catch them. Although I am not as physically as good as when I was younger, I am more skilled and can play with opposing defenders very lightly. ”

The above is an interview with the previous Sports Weekly, I will add his current situation, Lin Qiuli lived well in the years after retiring, but then he became obsessed with gambling, almost lost all his family property, sold his house and car (Chinese characteristics ah gambling), and then turned over with the help of others. Later, Lin tried to run for the presidency of Ajax, which Cruyff admired at the time, but in the end he was unsuccessful. After that, he left for Slovakia and bought FKASTren?ín (http://en./wiki/FK_AS_Tren%C4%8D%C3%ADn) of the Slovak First Division and became the owner.
