The summer of 2008 was a festival for sports fans in China.

At the Olympic Games held in the imperial capital, Chinese athletes competed for gold and silver, and the demeanor of a great country was fully revealed, and the spirit of China amazed the world.

But for Chinese football, this summer is too sad.

In the second group stage of the World Cup qualifiers held in June, the Chinese team was defeated by rivals Qatar and Iraq in succession, losing the initiative to advance.

In the final game of the group stage, although the Chinese team defeated Australia away from home, they still finished at the bottom of the group and lost the opportunity to advance to the top 10.

The Chinese team once again fell in front of the top 10 of the World Cup, and fans across the country were grief-stricken.

A few years ago, we used to be called "Koreanophobia", and we were hard to beat the Japanese team, and we fought to the death with Saudi Arabia and Iran.

But now, we are trampled under the feet of Qatar, which we once looked down on, and Iraq, which is in the midst of war, and we are not even able to enter the top 10.

After the game, when he learned the final ranking, Yu Hai, who hit the World Cup for the first time, cried bitterly, and he really felt the tragedy and cruelty of the green field.

And Shao Jiayi and Li Tie are even more sad, because after the failure of this impact, they may never have the opportunity to step on the World Cup stage again.

28-year-old Shao Jiayi and 30-year-old Li Tie, four years later, they are close to retirement, time flies, and those national football players who participated in the 2002 World Cup are about to retire from the stage of history.

And who among the younger generation of players can take over the banner in their hands?

Around 2000, domestic fans and media were extremely disdainful of the national football team, saying that they were the worst national football team in history.

But a few years later, maybe we will find out that the national football team may be the best player of the era......

"What is the future of Chinese football?"

Countless media and fans are shouting in their hearts.

Among the current young players, the most outstanding ones are Yu Hai and Dong Fangzhuo.

Both of these players are playing abroad, especially the young Yu Hai, who has just won the double at Bundesliga Botbus, and the name of "Huaguo Robben" is very loud.

Another hopeful star is Dong Fangzhuo, who won the Premier League championship with Manchester United in 2007, although he did not win the championship medal because of insufficient opportunities to play, but he can play for European giants, or give fans endless expectations.

But everyone didn't expect that just after the failure of the Chinese team to impact the World Cup, another sad news fell on the head of Chinese football.

In the football event of the 2008 China Olympic Games, Dong Fangzhuo participated as the main team of the team.

In fact, before the game, Liu Surong interviewed Yun Sheng and asked him what he thought of Dong Fangzhuo.

Yunsheng spoke highly of Dong Fangzhuo: "Many people say that he is a product of commercial football, which is a joke!" If all business considerations are taken into account, why didn't Ferguson sign a Japanese? You must know that Manchester United's commercial income in Japan far exceeds that of Huaguo! Wouldn't it be better for him to sign a young Japanese? ”

"The reason why Dong Fangzhuo was able to join Manchester United is inseparable from his talent and qualifications. When he was at Manchester United, his speed advantage was even better than that of the fledgling Cristiano Ronaldo! However, because he did not have a labor certificate, he had to work in Belgium. A player's best age is all wasted in the Belgian lower league, which is one of the big reasons why Dong Fangzhuo has not reached the height of his career! ”

Also, Dong Fangzhuo's frequent return to China to compete. For a young man like him, is it really necessary for him to participate in some inconsequential national team games? Returning to the league after every tiring flight will have a huge impact on his form! And Dong Fangzhuo has almost no injuries in the league over the years, but he has been injured in the National Olympic team! ”

"I don't understand, is it the friendly results of the national Olympic team that are more important, or Dong Fangzhuo's body and growth are more important? Especially in the 2008 Olympic Games, I understand everyone's thoughts and hope that Dong Fangzhuo can lead the national football team to create miracles. However, Dong Fangzhuo has always been injured, and forcibly closed him to make him appear, isn't this killing chickens and eggs? ”

"So I personally suggest that it is best not to let Dong Fangzhuo participate in the Olympics this time, so as to give more opportunities to young outstanding players in China!"

Yun Sheng said this when Liu Surong interviewed him before leaving Germany after winning the double. These words were almost not cut too much and were directly broadcast.

However, these words caused a lot of displeasure, especially the officials at the upper level of the Football Association, who were very dissatisfied with Yunsheng!

A little coach who coaches in a foreign country is just qualified to say anything about our management!

He is Chinese, and for the sake of our Olympic results, even if he breaks his leg after the game, he has to play the game!

What about the trapeze Liu Xiang! You have to play with an injury!

What's more, he is a little Dong Fangzhuo!

However, this Olympic national football journey has made fans across the country sad.

The national football team not only failed to create a miracle, but was forced to participate in the competition, resulting in Dong Fangzhuo being seriously injured.

The Manchester United spokesman who is far away in England officially said: Dong Fangzhuo no longer has the ability to play at Manchester United, he can transfer and leave at any time, and Manchester United does not set any transfer fee jamb!

In other words, Manchester United terminated the contract with Dong Fangzhuo ahead of schedule!

In the face of Dong Fangzhuo's experience, Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson was also very helpless: "On February 22, 2008, our club spokesman told everyone that Hua Guodong was seriously injured in a reserve team match last week and he will be out of action for two months. At that time, I suggested that the Chinese national team should not recruit him into the national team to participate in the World Cup qualifiers and the Olympic Games, but my suggestion was not adopted. ”

"In my opinion, Hua Guodong has the potential to be a world-class striker. He's fast, of course, that's a common trait of a lot of Asian players. Other than that, he has good technique and flexibility. What's more, he's very aggressive, and this desire to score goals is the most basic thing to do for a striker. ”

"But this injury will definitely have a huge impact on his speed and flexibility, he will not be able to play at Manchester United in the future, and he may even retire early! It's a sad thing to see a genius about to fall. ”

Seriously injured, banished by Manchester United, his future is uncertain, and he may even have no choice but to retire.

This is the current situation of a Chinese football talent.

Heart-wrenching?

It's frustrating......

The summer of 2008 was wonderful, with so many memorable moments and people.

However, there is nothing related to Chinese football in these beautiful memories......
