Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 439 The New Face

The [-]th China League Cup was finally won by Dalian Dongfang, a veteran team. In the final, they relied on the goal of substitute forward Zhou Peng to defeat the defending champion Liaoning team [-]-[-]. Liaoning team was absent due to the absence of the main striker Romario As a result, the offensive power was greatly reduced, and the defeat was convincing. For a while, the Dalian Dongfang team, which defeated the defending champion and last year's runner-up in a row, was in the limelight for a while, and it seemed to be the most popular candidate for the championship in the new season.

After winning this championship, Dalian Dongfang began to surpass the defending champion Liaoning and Shandong Hualong in popularity. The general public opinion believed that the league championship this season would be produced by these three teams, although Yunjiatianyu defeated Shandong Hualong to win No.3, but this year neither the introduction of heavyweight players nor the training of a set of effective tactics in Haigeng, even the main lineup has not yet been determined, including the local media and fans of Yunjia Tianyu. The performance of the new season is not optimistic.

But what they don't know is that for the League Cup champion, it's not that Yunjiatianyu can't win it, but that he doesn't want to win it—it's not that he doesn't want to win it. After all, the League Cup champion is also a national champion, and the gold content is not low, but in One week after the end of the League Cup, the league will start soon, and Yunjiatianyu will challenge the just-renamed Sichuan Business Team away from home in the first round. From BJ to Sichuan, this is a rather long distance. If you try your best, the exhausted players may not have much fighting power left after flying to Sichuan.

And the League Cup has to be played - as last year's league runner-up, Yunjiatianyu has to play two real games before the season anyway, so Mourinho deliberately let the main players take turns to rest during the game , Only in this way can we appear in the Chengdu Stadium in the best condition.

After playing the League Cup, the Yunjiatianyu team immediately flew to Chengdu, ready to start the journey of the new season.

************************************************** ******
With the steady rise of the level of Chinese football, the Chinese Football Association has added some "happiness troubles" in addition to the joy - that is, the number of games for national teams has begun to increase, as last year they had to participate in two important Asian games. The Cup and the Olympics, if these two games hadn't only taken up two months, then last year's league would probably not end until December. Even so, the competition had a big impact on the league. The average attendance rate of the league has experienced negative growth for the first time since the start of the professional league. Fortunately, the last few strong teams' competition for the championship has attracted a lot of popularity, otherwise the attendance rate may have dropped even more.

Although this year is not a major competition year, there are two more important events for Chinese football—the World Cup qualifier group stage and the Asian top ten match—with the current strength of the Chinese team, it is quite possible to break through the group stage Big one, Maldives, Cambodia and Indonesia are unlikely to cause any trouble for the Chinese team, even if the Chinese team does not recall overseas players, the elite of domestic players alone is enough to deal with them.

And the lack of the top ten matches of the Japanese and South Korean teams will not make the Chinese Football Association feel a headache. What really makes them a headache is the game schedule-a total of six games will be played in the group stage, and the time is from April 22 to May 27. Day, more than a month, and although the schedule of the top ten matches has not been announced, judging from the experience of 97, this period of time will not be less than two months. If the Chinese football team participated in the World Cup according to the previous According to the old rules of the qualifiers, the time between the two matches and the team training is estimated to be close to five months, and it will be less than ten months from now to the end of the year. If 26 rounds of the league are played within five months If you add a few cups, unless the Football Association intends to abandon the league.

After Pei Wei saw the games that the national team was going to play this year, he also gasped. No wonder the Chinese Football Association, under the leadership of "Yan Wang", divided the league into three parts to make way for the national team. It will end at the end of the year. There is really no way to ensure the combat effectiveness of the national team. The only way to ensure the combat effectiveness of the national team is to increase the training time. While increasing the training time, it also reduces the time that the league can use. It is no wonder that the league has to give way to the national team.

In such a tight schedule and long delay, the excitement of the game cannot be guaranteed, and the frequent transfer of national team players has also had a considerable impact on the performance of each club. "He came up with a genius solution to appease the clubs, which was to temporarily stop relegation from the league.

Aren't you afraid that you will not be able to play well if you are transferred to the international team?That's easy to do. If you lose the game, you don't need to be relegated. Anyway, there are only a few teams competing for the championship.

Such an "expedient measure" that looks good is actually a method of cutting the root and killing the chicken to get the eggs. Originally, there were not many highlights in the league, and now the highlights of relegation other than winning the championship are also canceled. The top two of A-B would not be dissatisfied, and the Football Association had to expand the scale of A-A, increasing the number of top teams to sixteen—— completely forgetting what kind of mess the basic level of Chinese football was at that time, and the original The league, which should have a good prospect, officially began to decline, and did not recover until 2006, when Pei Wei was reincarnated.

Fortunately, it is different now. The number of excellent players in China is much higher than in the same period of history, and the Football Association has accumulated experience in some previous games. The leader of the Football Association is not the kind of politician who does not know the importance of the league, so The Football Association has decided not to stop the league games during the group stage of the qualifiers. The time is arranged to be held during the intermission of the qualifiers. Anyway, it is enough to deal with these three opponents with the strength of domestic players. If you deal with such opponents, you will be nervous. If Xi's training camp lasts for a month before going to play games, then what is the need for Chinese football?
In this way, more than a month of time can be saved. Generally speaking, a season of competitions takes about seven months. end before arrival.

Milu has no objection to this. The Football Association has already supported his work. He has brought two outstanding players by agreeing to Adriano and Deco becoming Chinese nationals. So Milu's decades of being in the arena are in vain.

**********************************************
The first round of the league was held on March [-]th. Liaoning's away game against Chongqing and Yunjiatianyu's away game against Sichuan were the only two strong dialogues in this round, so more people paid attention to these two games. Last year, Liaoning was It won the league championship after defeating Chongqing at home, and Yunjiatianyu's performance against Sichuan in the away game has not been very good. Therefore, before the game, it is generally believed that Liaoning will win, and Yunjia may be more or less fortunate.

There is another important reason why they made such a judgment-Yunjiatianyu has not made a good start in the league for two consecutive years, and this year is the first away game against the Sichuan team, which can be called their nemesis. Being optimistic has become a matter of course.

In the past few years, Sichuan's performance has been firmly in the middle. Even the top four teams rarely win easily when facing them. Their performance against strong teams is not bad at all. Downstream teams often make mistakes.

With the emphasis on echelon training, the Sichuan team has also begun to enjoy the benefits brought by the echelon team-they newly promoted a young striker Lei Tao from the second team this year and has quickly secured the main position. Li Bing formed Sichuan's striker.

This striker was born in 1982 and only this year, but his height has reached an astonishing 1.9 meters [-]. Although his foot skills are not very good, he is a huge threat no matter in front of the defense line because of his strong body.

Pei Wei has never heard of this name, which makes him feel a little gratified. Although all clubs are beginning to pay attention to echelon training, the young players he has heard of are almost all names that he has heard of in later generations. There were no newcomers, which also made him a little puzzled—could it be that some good seedlings were poached by Yunjia Tianyu?Otherwise, how come other teams don't have players they haven't heard of?
One problem he didn't think of was that other clubs paid more attention to the echelon, and players can't be cultivated after one or two years of training. Those names that later generations have heard of basically started playing in the youth teams of various local teams when the professional league began, so naturally they came out quickly. Judging from the expansion of the echelon construction of various clubs in China, It will take a few years for the effect to come out gradually.

As for why Yunjia Tianyu produces some good seedlings who are not well-known in later generations, it is because Yunjia City itself has no professional clubs in later generations, and when Pei Wei took over, it was basically poor and empty, and young players could easily play out. , coupled with the rigor of Yunjiatianyu's scouting system, the results will naturally come out faster.

I believe that in the next few years, Pei Wei will see more new faces in other clubs in the league, and Lei Tao is just the first one.
