Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 738 Opportunities for Young Players

After the No.30 round of competition, clubs all over Europe ushered in a FIFA match day. During this period, all national teams in the world will participate in two World Cup qualifiers, which also means The 06 World Cup officially kicked off.

As a team with a large number of international footballers, Newcastle naturally cannot escape the FIFA virus. Among the 24-man squad, [-] players have been selected for their respective national teams.

There are three players selected for the England team, Dawson, Janus and Dyer. Dawson got the chance to be selected for the England national team through his stable appearances this season. Although the appearances of Janus and Dyer have decreased this season , but he was still selected for Eriksson's squad, and Nie Fei was selected for the Chinese national team. Hiddink promised that Nie Fei would only play once, but he must participate in this training camp to form a tacit understanding with other players. Cech has now become The main players of the Czech national team, although the number of appearances of Trabelsi and Kufuor has decreased a lot this season, they are still the main players of Tunisia and Ghana. The team has not had the luxury to allow the two of them to stay outside the national team.

Lucio has always been the main defender of the Brazilian national team, and Maicon has continued to be selected for the Brazilian national team because of his outstanding performance in Newcastle. Shay and Hart continue to be the main players of the Irish national team, not to mention Ibrahimovic. After Sen announced his retirement from the national team, he became the leading figure in the forward line of the Swedish national team.

Although Makelele is 31 years old, he is still indispensable to the French national team as a midfield engineer, and Ribéry's selection made the scar boy very excited. He finally touched Domenech's heart with his outstanding performance. The most important thing is that his performance this season is indeed the best among French players in the left midfield position. Pires is obviously not as good as last season, and Roten is not as eye-catching as he was in Monaco last season. Although Wiltord performed well after returning to France, one was eliminated by the Premier League, and the other performed extremely well in the Premier League. As long as Domenech is not blind, he can make the right choice.

More importantly, Roten and Pires are both older, while Ribery is only 22 years old and has a bright future and unlimited potential. There is still more than a year before the World Cup in 06. Roten and Pires are old trees The chances of opening new flowers are not too great, and Ribery will only get better and better.

On the day Ribery set off to report to the national team, Pei Wei went to see him off.

Seeing Ribery's well-dressed appearance, Pei Wei wanted to laugh. Maybe it was because of his poor background. Ribery never had any so-called taste in dressing, and he never cared about these things. I didn't expect to dress up so formally this time. It seems that Scar Boy still cares about entering the national team.

Seeing Pei Wei smiling all over his face, Franck Ribery felt a little embarrassed: "Boss, am I not dressed properly?"

"No, you're well dressed! You should be dressed like that, you look more energetic... But I prefer to see you in your jersey, whether it's Yunjiatianyu's jersey or Newcastle's jersey..." Pei Wei smiled and said, "Why do you want to dress so formally today? Why does this tie look familiar to me?"

"I borrowed it from Claude..." Franck Ribery said shyly, "I think it's the first time to enter the national team, so you should dress more formally."

"That's right, it's a good idea to respect the national team." Pei Wei nodded: "However, if you want to gain respect in the national team, you can't just rely on clothes, you have to rely on your strength...Frank, you don't Having been selected for any French national team at any level, this time being picked by Domenech already shows your strength and performance. He is a very stubborn person and only believes in players that he or his predecessors have used. , and you are an exception."

Frank smiled wryly, God knows how much effort this "exception" made him put in!But God rewards those who work hard, and any hard work will not be in vain. If he hadn't worked so hard, maybe he wouldn't have achieved what he is today.

"Do well, Frank." Pei Wei patted Ribery on the shoulder: "The French team in 98 has reached the end of the stage. You are the hope and core of France's future. I firmly believe this. At your age Duan, no one can replace Zidane better than you, even though you and him are two completely different types."

"I believe it too." Franck Ribery clenched his fist tightly: "I have always believed it...but boss, even though you don't care, I still have to say...without you, I wouldn't have set foot so early on the threshold of the goal."

That's right, for a young man who was still playing in the second-tier team of the French third-tier league club in 02, just over three years is simply not enough for him to enter the national team's attention-the French national team It is one of the best national teams in the world. They have countless talents all over the world. It is impossible for the head coach of the French national team to cast their attention on a young man in the second-tier team of the third-tier league.

Not to mention the head coach of the French national team, even the head coaches of youth teams at all levels will not pay attention to such a low-level league.

Franck Ribery knew very well that with his situation at the time, the only way out was to transfer, and the transfer also depended on luck, to see if he could find a suitable club for him to play as the main coach, and gradually use his own strength. Performance to win the favor of the top league team, and then continue to work hard in this top team, get a stable appearance, and then gradually enter the sight of the head coach of the national team...

It's fucking hard to think about it.

But except for a very few lucky geniuses, other young players can only achieve their football careers through this path. There are only a few hundred international players in the world's strong teams, but there are more than a few professional players in these countries. 90.00, [-]% Nine players can only keep the dream of the national team in their hearts, play football silently and retire...

Pei Wei brought him from France to China. Although he was far away from the center of world football, he got the chance to play professionally when he needed it most. Demonstrate your ability in the professional league-Although Ribery is not Chinese, he also understands what it means to die for a confidant.

"It goes without saying, Frank, you have strength, just like an awl in a bag, you will always come out ahead." Pei Wei smiled and waved his hands: "It's the first time for the national team, Frank, you have to work hard ah!"

******************************************
This is the second time this season that the national team has transferred players on a large scale.

Fourteen people were drawn last time, but this time there are sixteen people, two more than last time——Pei Wei is proud.

Maicon had already been selected for the Brazilian national team before joining Newcastle, and this selection is not too surprising, but it is the first time for Ribery to be selected for the French national team. This is also what Newcastle has cultivated since Pei Wei took over No.2 international - the previous one was England defender Dawson.

Pei Wei was proud, but Mourinho had a headache. Now there are only eight first-line players in the team, and most of them are substitutes. It can be said that training has lost its role. The only thing that can be done is Let the substitutes get back to form, because they will definitely be used in the upcoming games.

Then it is to transfer players from the reserve team to train with the first-line players, because eight people cannot carry out effective training.

But what makes Mourinho a headache is that the usual selection of players from the reserve team is just a few players, so that these young players can adapt to the atmosphere of the first team training in advance, but if a dozen or twenty players are drawn , then it is not called the transfer of reserve team players.

That's called sending first-team players to the reserve team.

There is no way, although the training effect will not be very good, Mourinho can only do this. After all, these eight players can't just let these eight players play four-on-four, right?Besides, even if the effect of this kind of training has to be discounted, the young players of the Newcastle reserve team are not bad.

"Jose, why don't you transfer a few of Yunjia's boys?" Pei Wei suggested, "Let these boys feel the atmosphere of the first team of the top European teams. They have been in England for more than half a year." , you have to experience everything."

Mourinho frowned and thought for a while before agreeing. Anyway, this transfer is only temporary and will not have any impact on the first-team matches. What's more, he also paid attention to youth training when he was in Yunjia Tianyu. See It's good to see how the players in Yunjiatianyu's 17-year-old echelon have improved during this period.

After the two made such a decision, in the next more than a week, what appeared on the Newcastle training ground became a mixed formation-eight players from the first team, eight players from the Newcastle reserve team and eight from China. young players.

Except for the first-team players, other young people have shown great enthusiasm for participating in this kind of training. The players of the Newcastle reserve team are struggling to show off in front of the coach, while the players of Yunjiatianyu They want to know how far they are from the young players of the world's top teams. In the past week or so, the enthusiasm in the training ground has been unprecedentedly high.

Anyway, there was no way to practice any tactics, so Mourinho simply disrupted all the players and let them get acquainted with each other. In addition to routine training, they played against each other in groups. Mourinho wanted to observe Let's see if there are any players who can get a chance to play in the first team.

This is an opportunity for all young players. In addition to bringing troubles to wealthy clubs, the FIFA virus can also bring opportunities to young players of these clubs.
