Chapter 12: The Wounded Bird
On the morning of July 11th, a fax came from Parma. Not surprisingly, a one-year loan was signed to Peng Weiguo. What I didn't expect was that there was an additional clause: after the 96-97 season, Parma had the right of first refusal. According to the staff who handled the matter in Italy, Parma did not fancy Peng Weiguo at first, thinking that this small player was too thin, but he watched the video of this year's national football team against the Dutch national team edited by the teenager in a hurry for the club.
The specific contract is for Parma to pay Peng Weiguo's salary for the loan period, which is $120,000 a year. Peng Weiguo was positioned as a midfield rotation player, and Peng Weiguo was required to report within a week. During this period, the club will arrange accommodation and interpreters. The jersey number Peng Weiguo reported the number 8 and 17, and as a result, they got a 17+8=25.
In order to adapt to life in Italy as soon as possible, when I decided to go to Parma a few days earlier, the club found an Italian teacher for Peng Weiguo, and as soon as I received the fax today, the teenager hurried to Peng Weiguo's room. It turned out that the teacher was teaching the Guozai alphabet and simple life terms at a glance, and the teenager wanted to laugh when he saw it. The teenager immediately stopped their frenzied learning method, and instead of going on vacation or studying abroad, the top priority was to seize the time to learn more football terms, and at the same time, the teenager also asked someone to find Zhang Lu, who was commenting on Serie A at the time, to borrow the video of many Parma games in the past two seasons, so as to keep up with the rhythm of the team as soon as possible.
Because there was a training match with the Chinese women's football team in the afternoon, he simply told Peng Weiguo about some things that need to be paid attention to when going out, and the teenager hurried to the cafeteria for a meal.
Yangcheng in July was as hot as a stove, so the game was scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
The Chinese women's football team sent a full main lineup in the first half, and aside from the physical gap, the Chinese women's football team in 1996 really deserves the title of sonorous rose. The rhythm control in the first 10 minutes was very good, so that the Guangzhou team, which has always been known for its skills, barely touched the ball a few times. It is a pity to enter the midfield, especially within 35 meters of the front court, there are few opportunities, one is that the first point is not easy to control, and the men's football players have a greater range of one-on-one control on the field. Therefore, after the Chinese women's football team tried twice, Sun Wen and Shui Qingxia, who were in front, passed back to the midfielder as soon as they had no chance, and the Sun God team was extremely embarrassed. The teenager was suddenly a little dissatisfied, if he despised the other party because he felt that the other party was a women's football team, it could be said that the game was lost. What's more, as the last warm-up match of the Chinese women's football team, we should try our best to help them achieve their training goals, needless to say, the last game against the men's football team, the imaginary opponent must be the Swedish women's football team in the group stage.
Just after Sun Wen turned her back to face the teenager's defense and passed the ball back to Liu Ailing, she saw her back waist slowly go up and was passed by Liu Ailing as soon as she stretched her foot. The boy couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at the back team: "I don't want to kick down! Why don't you come up and walk around the park?!"
The general counsel of the teenager and half of the head coach, the players of the Sun God are used to it, and it is true that people have this capital, so there is no situation where someone is unconvinced and deliberately finds fault. But the girls don't know, but this voice frightened Sun Wen, so close, less than two meters away from herself.
The young man shouted to the other players on the field: "No matter who the opponent is on the field, you must treat everyone equally, don't be weak because you are a few girls, what is wrong with never seeing a woman!? If you kick like this again, the game will be over, and each person will run 5,000 meters with a weight of 20 pounds!"
This kid is so fierce? Sun Wen thought to herself: Boy, look at my sister and give you a great one later!
These two voices can be regarded as shouting out the spirit of the Sun God players on the field. The rhythm on the field immediately increased, and the confrontation increased, especially in the midfield, and I often saw Liu Ailing, Liu Ying and Zhao Lihong who were hit on their backs. Competitive sports, the confrontation is up, and the anger will definitely be out.
Off the field, the head coach of the women's football team, Ma Yuanan, said to Coach Xie Zhiguang with a smile: "This is what it looks like, or we still can't look down on your Sun God as an opponent. Your young centre-back on the pitch is good, young, very general-like!" After speaking, he gave a thumbs up, Lao Xie knew that Ma Yuanan was joking in the first half of the sentence, and he didn't care, and introduced the boy to the other party: "Our central defender is amazing, you are not from the men's football team, I will tell you in private, you have to keep it secret from me!" Xiao Li is now the general advisor of the Sun God and also serves as half of the head coach. Seeing those two voices, the boys on the field didn't even dare to fart, and now their prestige in the team is higher than mine." Then Director Xie and Lao Ma briefly introduced the reform around the junior team.
Ma Yuanan listened and watched, his eyes lit up, and he turned his head to Lao Xie and said, "You have found a treasure! I dare to pack tickets now, this kid has a limitless future! Maybe the future of the Chinese men's football team is pinned on him! Hey, I said Lao Xie, do you want to make a bet? If you lose, you can get the gold medal of the '75 Three Games, or the medal of the '79 national champion. Haha"
Xie Zhiguang pursed his lips and said to his old friend: "Are you stupid for me? I'm willing to let even half of the head coach out, who are you betting with me on Xiao Li? You're not a thing, you old man."
Coach Ma Yuanan looked at the small abacus and crackled for a long time, and it didn't take a few clicks for people to see through, and it was not fun. Sometimes happiness with old friends is as simple as that. If you hurt me twice, I scolded you a few times, and everyone had endless fun.
Seeing Lao Xie's smug appearance, Ma Yuan came up with another plan in his peace of mind, and said mysteriously to his old friend: "Hey, if you don't change to gamble, I see that this kid Yintang is black, I'm afraid that he will suffer recently."
Lao Xie was taken aback: "Go and go, let's just joke with the two brothers, don't bring such a curse."
Ma Yuanan hurriedly covered Lao Xie's mouth: "What are you excited about, let me tell you, it's not a big deal, but this kid should be unlucky."
Lao Xie was not convinced, your plan was exposed, in order to win my two medals, this began to pretend to be a god and a god, so his heart was crossed: "I'm afraid that you won't succeed, just bet!" As for the medals in this Olympic Games, I am optimistic that our women's football team will win the championship anyway. Do you dare?"
Ma Yuanan saw that his old friend had taken the bait, and his mouth couldn't close together, so he quickly grabbed Xie Zhiguang's hand: "A word is a certainty! It's an old dog!" Coach Xie was also childish, and asked the assistant coach next to him to take a pen and paper and make a note. The two of them just signed their names here, and it happened that Liu Ying passed the ball to Sun Wen on the field, and the teenager also posted it for the first time to give strength, so as not to let Sun Wen turn around easily.
At this moment, Coach Ma Yuanan shouted at the field: "Wen'er!" (Don't pronounce we.)
e
, is we
e
Even if the brothers in the Greater Bay Area can't solve the child's sound, haha) As soon as the voice fell, I saw Sun Wen on the field turn to the right and burst into the big forbidden area, neatly leaving the boy behind, and at the same time a miserable cry came.
"Wow~!~!~!"
I saw the boy lying on the line of the big forbidden area rolling all over the ground. The players on the field didn't know what was going on, because the attacker had the ball and had already made a single knife, and the referee didn't stop the game. But who directed this scream, Sun Wen's heart was empty, and she faced the goalkeeper with a single knife at close range, and she actually kicked away with an outrageous kick, and our female version of Maradona turned around and ran to the midfield with her head down.
Let's take a look at the VCR playback. In slow motion, Lee Byrne's close-quarters close defense of the world's No. 1 striker in women's football was very successful in defense. Sun Wen, who was holding the ball with her back, couldn't find a chance to turn around, and at this time, a strange voice sounded in the video: "W-E-N-E-R~~~", which is the kind of low and slow sound like a dry voice after the audio slows down. Boy! Isn't this the lion's roar from Coach Ma just now!
Then Sun Wen took advantage of the opportunity for the young man to be blocked in the shadows, right hand! I caught the little sparrow that was still developing!
Although there is no VCR in this game, let's take a look at this shot one more time from God's perspective. Scratch! Walk you! Playback, hey~ catch it again! Walk you again!
The boy was lying on the ground, screaming in his heart! "Sister Wen, I didn't go to Shaolin Temple to be a monk when I was in Zhengzhou, and I left from Henan, so you forced me to take refuge in Buddhism and go to Nan Shaolin! What a grudge, what a grudge! Woo woo woo~" The teenager who had rolled on the ground for thousands of degrees stood up with the support of his teammates. Several teammates next to him held back a smile, and their faces were purple. The women's football player is not an ordinary girl, and several older sisters in it also ridiculed the teenagers: "Oops! The hardness of the young man is not good, he is not resistant at all. After the game, let Sister Wen take you to the hospital." After that, a few sisters laughed so blatantly. It's really not easy to tease the teenager.
The field is lively, and Lao Xie is not calm off the field, I feel that the sisters of the women's football team are like teasing their faces. With a red face, his hands trembled while pointing at Coach Ma Yuanan: "Old horse! You're scheming!" And Coach Ma looked aggressive and said: "Hey, you old fellow, you are willing to gamble and lose! I'll go to your house in the evening and get Lao Tzu's medal."
A farce passed quickly, and the game soon reverted to a tense rhythm and fierce confrontation. In the end, the Sun God team and the Chinese women's football team played 3:1.Interestingly, in the last 10 minutes, both sides scored one goal each, first a corner kick in front of the teenager, and the penalty area jumped high to beat the head hammer of the fellow Fan Yunjie to score, and the teenager grinned viciously at the few eldest sisters who had just laughed at him. Then the women's football team launched an attack on the right wing, and after going down to the bottom, a typical inverted triangle pass, Sun Wen hit the ball into the corner from the penalty spot. Just when the teenager picked up the ball and was about to kick it back to the center circle to kick off, the four or five big sisters in the penalty area made an equally vicious gesture to the teenager again.
Overall, apart from this small episode, the women's football team still achieved the purpose of the training match, even if there was a huge gap between the body and the men's football players, they still used flexibility and technique to play their own thing. Not to mention the long-cherished horse coach.
In the evening, the two teams had a party, and the teenager was inevitably the most popular one. At the end of the dinner, Coach Ma Yuanan unexpectedly found the teenager. Coach Ma looked at the boy and said, "Let's go, let's talk outside." Sure enough, after listening to Lao Xie's more specific description of the teenager, Lao Ma also hoped to get some suggestions about the women's football competition in the Olympics from the teenager. The teenager recalled the 1996 Atlanta Olympics women's football match in his memory, basically before the semi-final 3:2 reversal of Brazil, the Chinese team won easily, and even the strong rival Sweden team was won by the Chinese women's football team 2:0 in the group stage.
The teenager said to Coach Ma Yuanan seriously: "Coach Ma, you know the strength of our Chinese women's football team best. If you want to talk about technology and tactics alone, we are the only one in the world now. Be careful with both teams in this World Cup. One is Brazil, this women's football team is not inferior in technology, they are worse than us as a whole. Don't get caught up in a solo fight with the opposing players, control the midfield and the rhythm of the game, they want to play fast, we have to control the ball and play slowly. Seize the opportunity when the other party is impatient and fight to the death. I look at the schedule, and I guess I will meet each other in the semi-finals. In addition, even if the U.S. women's football team, but the most terrible thing about the U.S. women's soccer team is not technology, not tactics, and even the strength of the players is worse than ours, so be wary of the home whistle! Don't think that a ball and the opponent are losing the demeanor of a great country, the championship is our goal. Even if it's an offside, a foul that can be blown or not, you must catch the referee. Once or twice doesn't work, too many times, Americans have to have face . If you suffer the referee's loss because you want to save face, you will regret it in the future!"
After speaking, the young man looked at Coach Ma Yuanan meaningfully. In fact, the women's football finals of the Olympic Games that year were indeed like this, several times the fouls of the American team were not blown under the bias of the referee, Coach Ma Yuanan just sat calmly on the sidelines, and the original words of the live broadcast at that time were: "The players of the American team are in an offside position on this ball, and this goal should be invalid. But we saw Coach Ma Yuanan sitting on the bench calmly, and it seemed that he was confident about this game."
In the end, it was precisely the Chinese women's football team that lost to the referee and the home whistle, so that after this team member, when our women's football team no longer has a technical and tactical advantage, we knew that we missed the best opportunity to reach the top. Coach Ma Yuanan and this group of women's football players are highly meritorious, but the teenager still hopes that the ending will be a happy one, because women's football is also an important part of Chinese football. Thinking of this, before ending the conversation, the teenager said to Coach Ma Yuanan very seriously: "You are the most perfect head coach of the Chinese women's football team, and I firmly believe that our sonorous roses will bring the joy of victory to the people of the whole country under the leadership of Coach Ma!" Come on!"
After the dinner, all the members of the Sun God Club also sent their most sincere wishes to the girls of the women's football team, and sincerely wished them a triumphant return home. Of course, a teenager only dared to hide behind his teammates and stretched out a hand to say goodbye to the sisters of the women's football team at this moment.
Off-topic:
I don't know if it's a coincidence, the Chinese men's football team and the women's football team began to fall from the peak, there is a similar event.After the 2002 World Cup, it stands to reason that it should be the best time for Chinese football, and the result is that in the 2004 Asian Cup as the host, the Chinese men's football team overcame all the way, the first in the group, beat Iraq 3:0 in the quarterfinals, and defeated the enemy Iran in the semifinals to reach the final. In the final final, Japan was overcast at home, with one offside, one handball, and two invalid goals, resulting in the national football team losing the championship 1:3 in front of tens of thousands of fans at home.
And the women's 96 Atlanta Olympics a offside goal led to a 1:2 loss in the final. In the 99 World Cup final, first Fan Yunjie's header in overtime, the ball had obviously crossed the goal line and was cleared by the American player Lily, in fact, we have won the championship with this goal, because the extra time was the Golden Ball win. Then I had to play with the American team to the point, the American black donkey goalkeeper, every time a Chinese player made a free throw, she would move outside the goal line in advance, the rules stipulate that before the opponent shoots, the goalkeeper can only move laterally on the goal line, and the referee did not blow the penalty.
As a Chinese fan, it is actually quite uncomfortable, and it feels like we have never enjoyed the treatment of the home whistle in international competitions, but after the two most important games suffered the loss of the referee, the men's football team and the women's football team fell from the highest point.
Alas! Time also! Fate!
