Regardless of whether Li Rongpyo really didn't know that there was a player named Qin Xiong in China, Park Ji-sung still knew about it.

South Korea itself is not big, unlike China, which has a vast territory and rich resources, and various news emerges endlessly from all over the world. When Park Ji-sung came to Europe, he would still pay attention to domestic football news. The news that the South Korean U18 team lost at the foot of the Chinese U18 team more than half a year ago , In fact, it caused a shock in Korean football!

The strange thing is that the match did not produce much news effect in China. Perhaps it was because of the "unknown name". A private match organized by the Tang Corporation can't be regarded as a "national name" in a serious manner.

But the South Korean team lost, and South Korea naturally attached great importance to it.

As an insider, Park Ji-sung does not think that the result of the South Korean team's failure is unacceptable.

Whether it is South Korea or China, there is actually no country in Asia whose football development level has truly reached the world-class level.

This is not tied to competition results.

Take the Netherlands as an example, or even take Ajax as an example. In each age group, or two age groups as representatives, the talents of the Netherlands are constantly layered. There is van der Vaart at the age of 20, and Heitinga at the age of 19. At the age of 18, there are Sneijder, De Jong, and so on.

But what about South Korea?

It just so happened that among the U18 players who went to the game, the only one who was really talented was Park Joo-young.

The gap between a football weak country and a football strong country is essentially the number of talents. South Korea is not yet an absolute strong player. It is normal for talent to appear faulty.

Perhaps China just happened to have talents in this group of players, and it is not difficult to accept.

Park Ji-sung knew that there was Qin Xiong. After all, it was unimaginable that the South Korean domestic media focused on Qin Xiong at that time, and there were even voices of panic: Qin Xiong was just one of China's representative rising stars.

What Pu Zhixing didn't expect was that he would compete with Qin Xiong in a foreign country so soon!

It's hard to say that Park Ji-sung made a major mistake in the game, but Park Ji-sung knew that he was "surprised" by Qin Xiong.

He only knew that there was such a person as Qin Xiong, but he didn't understand Qin Xiong's technical characteristics. For this competition, he studied the most and prepared the most, or Van der Vaart!

Before Qin Xiong came on the field, his restrictions on Van der Vaart were relatively successful, and his help to the team in offense was also very obvious.

But after Qin Xiong came on stage, everything changed.

He went from active to passive.

If he could understand Qin Xiong's technical characteristics in advance and be confident, he would never give Qin Xiong so many opportunities!

Not to mention being passed by Qin Xiong so chicly and gracefully at the last moment.

Shame?

No, Park Ji-sung just saw that as a setback, a failed experience.

With Qin Xiong's jersey on his shoulders, Park Ji-sung is looking forward to the next match against Qin Xiong, whether in the Netherlands, in Europe, or in Asia or in the world!

......

Leaving the Philips Stadium and sitting on the return bus, the atmosphere of the Ajax team was full. The players sang and danced in the middle and back of the car, celebrating the carnival victory unscrupulously.

Dutch national derby, they won, away!

Some people sang, some listened to music and danced, Qin Xiong became the focus virtually, and his teammates were all willing to come up to chat with him. It seemed that after the victory, everyone suddenly became able to talk about everything, and the topic was like turning on the faucet. don't come down!

They will vividly describe a trivial matter, such as the expression change of a fan in the nearby stands, plus their own exaggerated performances and descriptions, which will make everyone laugh after hearing it.

Many of the teammates were also full of praise, and they were full of praise for Qin Xiong's performance on the court.

Qin Xiong felt happy in such an atmosphere, but he still had something to do in his heart.

He wanted to talk to coach Koeman, not asking for anything, just to answer his questions during the game.

He is still growing. It can be said that every key game is an eye-opener for him. Similarly, he is good at divergent thinking, so doubts will arise in his heart.

However, the coaching staff sat in front of the car, and Koeman and his assistants did not stop the players from playing around in the car. They seemed to have not left their jobs, and they gathered together, centered on Koeman, as if they were discussing something in secret.

Qin Xiong didn't want to go up and disturb him. On the one hand, he was afraid that his teammates were enjoying the victory, and on the other hand, he was also worried about disturbing Coman's work.

He didn't know that the focus of the discussion between Koman and his assistants was Qin Xiong!

Koeman and Van Gaal are obviously two completely different coaches. This has nothing to do with the level of achievement, but the coaching and management style.

Van Gaal's "individuality" is very strong.

Just like he used to control everything from top to bottom in Ajax. He knows what he needs, and then digs to piece together his ideal pattern. For example, if the first team lacks a certain type of player, he will go to the youth team. , See if there are any players who meet the requirements and show talent in this area. If so, the club must focus on cultivation and serve the first team in a targeted manner.

But Koeman's coaching style does not have such assertiveness, he is more like a coach who looks after the food.

No matter how many resources you have in hand, you should maximize the resources in your hand and use them to the best effect.

As an example of the difference between the two, if Van Gaal thinks that he needs a Zidane in his ideal lineup, then he must either ask the club to buy a Zidane, or cultivate a Zidane himself, and he will go in this direction Hard work, and because of this, the group of Ajax geniuses almost ten years ago, taught by Van Gaal himself, presented such a dazzling picture.

And Koeman will not ask for a Zidane, because he may not be aware of the need for a Zidane, the team has Zidane, then, he will use Zidane to create tactics, if not, just according to the actual situation situation to create the appropriate tactics.

This is where the difference between the two is most obvious.

In today's game, Koeman took the initiative to replace Qin Xiong. Isn't it a gamble?

Bet won!

And after winning the bet?

Coman will re-examine Qin Xiong. In this team, what kind of role should Qin Xiong play? Where is Qin Xiong's limit?How to let Qin Xiong join the team and let the whole play a greater strength?

That's what he's thinking about now, and it's at the heart of discussions with his assistants.

Koeman is also racing against time.

This is not when there is a lot of time for pre-season preparations.

Right now, there is the third round of the Dutch Cup in the middle of the week, and next weekend the league will face Alkmaar.

Ten days later, the Champions League defending champion AC Milan returned to Amsterdam!

Coman needs Qin Xiong to make substantial contributions!

But there is a balance in it. The balance of the whole team system needs to be considered. It is conceivable that, excluding the goalkeeper, there are only 10 players on the field. To form a team and produce chemical reactions, every position and role has its own influence The effect of moving the whole body with one shot, what the coaching staff has to consider is not as simple and easy as playing a football game and giving orders casually.

The joyous atmosphere continued until the return to Amsterdam, inside the Ajax club.

After a fierce battle, the team needs to recover their physical fitness after the game, especially in the recent tight schedule, which is even more cautious.

Players with severe physical exhaustion in the game will receive post-match muscle massage from the team doctors in the club, supplement food and water, etc.

Qin Xiong only played more than 30 minutes in the game, so he recovered faster. Today he won PSV Eindhoven, last season's league champion, their main competitor, and the mental excitement of the players will last for a long time. Everyone goes home to sleep, and they will definitely not be able to sleep.

Captain Van der Vaart took the lead and asked his teammates to go to KTV to sing. The older teammates with families naturally refused politely, and everyone understood.

Ajax is still the world of young people. Young people have nothing to do. Going to sing and sing can be regarded as relaxing. After the mental excitement calms down, they will go home to rest.

Qin Xiong made an appointment with them, and then took the first step. He still wanted to talk to Coman to solve the doubts in his heart.

But after Koeman returned to the club, he was still working overtime, and brought the topic discussed with the coaching staff on the bus to the conference room.

So Qin Xiong went to Van Gaal's office, wanting to try his luck.

Van Gaal was still in the office and planned to leave at dinner time, but he stayed in the office after receiving a call.

The call came from the UK. A club wanted to invite him out. The club that sent the invitation was rich and powerful, named Chelsea.
