Chapter 231 The Dog Days of the Chinese Football Association

On November [-]nd, after the match against Villa, it was time for the national team to play.

With the rise of Blackburn's performance, the number of international players on Blackburn's side has also increased.Pires, Micoud, Makelele, Duff, Hyypia, Ferdinand, Van Bronckhorst, and Sagnol all entered the national team.

But George knows that many of them are not necessarily the main players.Especially the French players, Pires, Micoud, Makelele, and Sagnol, although they joined the national team, they are all marginal figures of the French national team.

And even the main players are all in Europe.The problem is not very big.

But one person is in trouble.That is Sun Jihai, and the Chinese team will also play games at this time.

Sun Jihai finally became the main player of Blackburn, George is not willing to Sun Jihai to return to China to play games.And it's not an important game right now, it's just a warm-up match, and the Chinese Football Association will recruit Sun Jihai to return to China.

After receiving the fax from the Chinese Football Association, George wished he could refuse on the spot.But after thinking about Sun Jihai's position, he still endured it.

At that time, the Internet in China was not yet popular, and many fans learned the news from the newspapers.If the Chinese Football Association is really angered, they will scribble in the newspaper, saying that Sun Jihai is not willing to play for the country or something.At that time, Sun Jihai is likely to become the target of everyone in Chinese football.

After all, Sun Jihai is Chinese and has his own connections in China.If it really turns into a situation where everyone is shouting and beating, then Sun Jihai will be hit hard.

And the Chinese players at that time were all proud to be selected for the national team.

If the Chinese Football Association is angry, Sun Jihai will be expelled.At that time, George didn't know what Sun Jihai would think about him?
So George negotiated with the Chinese football team in a negotiating tone, whether Sun Jihai could not be allowed to participate in this kind of warm-up match.But the Chinese Football Association believed that Sun Jihai had to participate, which made George grit his teeth.

In fact, there are many ways for later generations to avoid players from participating in the national team.The easiest way is to say that the player has an injury and not go to the national team.But George thought about Sun Jihai's position and couldn't make such a decision.

If it's Europe, no problem.Mom, this is going to China, going to Asia.Asia, that is to go around half the world.In this way, after playing two games in the past, how would Sun Jihai play the game?Sun Jihai is not an iron man.

With Sagnol's injury, George's expectations for Sun Jihai have greatly increased.

Sun Jihai is still young, and his strength is not weak.And from playing in League One last season, to Blackburn this season.Sun Jihai's physical strength has greatly increased, and he is very adaptable to the rhythm of English football.

George believed that Sun Jihai would be much better than the historical Sun Jihai if he came to England early.

Sun Jihai in history has been able to play the main force in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League like Manchester City.With Sun Jihai's current level of development, when he was 23 years old and 24 years old, there would be no problem even if he played with Sagnol in rotation.

But if the Chinese national team's games are always interfered in this way, it will have a great impact on Sun Jihai's status in the club.

This problem should be solved.

Now it is only Sun Jihai's problem.I used to think that if Deco performed well, he might be selected by the Brazilian team.At that time, I just thought that if Deco was selected for the Brazil team, he would be very encouraging to Deco.But now when I think of Brazil, it's not even close.And Drogba and Essien will enter the national team in the future, and they will also play in the Africa Cup of Nations.

After thinking about it, my head hurts.

At this time, George slowly realized the benefits of European players.Even if European players are not as skilled as South American players, they may not necessarily be as good as African players in terms of physical fitness, but they have strong technical and tactical capabilities and better self-discipline than South American and African players.

Most importantly, most of the games are played in Europe.Unlike players from other continents, the national team will fly around on matchdays.

…………

"Coach Levi, I heard that you are very dissatisfied with Sun Jihai's return to China to play."

Wu Mengxue is very happy today.The coach George has always been difficult to interview.Although George often appears in front of the media, he rarely accepts exclusive interviews.

Among the world's media, only Steven Yellen in the "Blackburn Evening News" can exclusively interview George.Among other colleagues, Yellen is George's spokesperson in the media.Except for Yellen, few other reporters were able to ask George for an exclusive interview.

"Yes. Sun Jihai is a very important player in my plan. Going halfway around the world to play in Asia will have a great impact on his development in the club." George made no secret of his views.

"But Coach Levy, it's an international match day. If the club doesn't return to play because of the development of the club, what will happen to the national team? Even if this kind of lawsuit reaches FIFA, the club has no chance of winning."

Although in front of him is the hot local coach who is currently popular in England.And it was a coach with a bad personality, but Wu Mengxue wasn't nervous at all or followed George's lead.After all, Wu Mengxue had already entered CCTV at a young age, how could it be so easy to enter CCTV without a certain background.

He was also sent to Europe and became one of CCTV's representative reporters in Europe.

Therefore, Wu Mengxue is quite confident.

George looked at the eloquent Wu Mengxue and smiled.Although George smiled in good faith, in the eyes of Da reporter Wu, he looked like a monster with a bloody mouth.

"I agree with Sun Jihai playing for the country." George will never stop a player from playing for the country.Especially the education he received in China in his previous life has been deeply embedded in George's bones.In his previous life, George was one of the little cynics. If Sun Jihai really didn't want to serve the country, George would look down on Sun Jihai.

"If it's the World Cup qualifiers, the Asian Cup and other games, not only will I not stop them, but I will also encourage Sun Jihai to go." George said slowly. "But what I object to is that Sun Jihai go to participate in those kind of friendly matches. For this kind of competition, let Sun Jihai circle half of the world. I absolutely do not agree."

"Think about it, if Chinese players will do the same in the future, participating in those useless friendly matches. Then European clubs will definitely shake their heads at Chinese players."

George was full of complaints about the Chinese Football Association, allowing Sun Jihai to participate in such a useless friendly match.

Seeing the complaint in George's tone, reporter Wu Da smiled unkindly.

"Coach Levy, you always think about problems from your perspective. But have you ever thought that the national team also needs to be adjusted. These friendly matches are a process of adjustment. If Sun Jihai cannot participate in this kind of friendly match, his position in the national team will be determined by then. How to guarantee it."

George took a closer look at the beautiful reporter in front of him. This reporter was quite sharp-tongued.

"I know that the Chinese national team will always have a period of closed training before the big competition. In the words of the Chinese Football Association, it is a training camp."

Wu Mengxue nodded unconsciously, but was a little surprised in her heart.Although I knew that George could speak Chinese well, I didn't expect that he knew so much about Chinese football.

"Reporter Wu, I believe you are well-informed. Have you ever seen a strong team in Europe do some training camp before the game. They all gather a few days before the game, and then they practice together for two days and then go straight to the game. But their grades are still good.”

"Many of their players usually have no chance to cooperate at all. When they arrive at the national team, they just play a few games and then break up. But why is there no problem with their cooperation, and there is no problem. Only the Chinese team always What kind of training camp, at least half a month, 20 days. But every time in the game, there are still various coordination problems? Have you ever thought about it?"

Wu Mengxue thought for a while, then looked at George with a smile.Would love to hear George's answer.

"A good player like Sun Jihai, even if he doesn't train with the national team, he doesn't play such useless friendly matches. As long as he goes to the national team, he can easily integrate into the team. Like those players from European and American teams, they are all through this process."

"For the real development of Chinese football, the league is the foundation. And China should allow more players to come out and train in high-level competitions like Europe. And it should protect those good players who play in Europe. Don't let them For those meaningless games, delay their development in the club."

"Sun Jihai is a good player and may become the most successful Chinese player in the world. I hope Chinese football can protect Sun Jihai well."

George's last words are fundamental.

George hopes that Wu Mengxue can build a bridge for George and have a good discussion with the officials of the Chinese Football Association.The development of Chinese football is beyond George's control, and in terms of the environment of Chinese football, the development of Chinese football is simply impossible.

After more than ten or twenty years, there may be a turning point.

But these are not under George's jurisdiction. George only wants to take care of Sun Jihai's affairs.Sun Jihai is his own player, an important part of Blackburn.George does not want the Chinese Football Association to ruin Sun Jihai, who is on the rise.

Wu Mengxue nodded, already understanding what George meant.

George likes smart people, especially smart people like Reporter Wu Da.

Sun Jihai, I can only help here.George really hoped that the Chinese Football Association would show mercy. George would never stop Sun Jihai in those important matches of the national team.But for this kind of worthless friendly match, George really didn't want to call up Sun Jihai again.

After finishing talking about Sun Jihai, the two began to talk about other topics.

After such a chat, George realized that the reporter from CCTV still had a lot of ink in his stomach.She has dabbled in many aspects, and even the language talent that George is proud of can only bow down in front of her.

This reporter, who is much younger than George, can speak nine languages.Even George was greatly surprised, this is a truly proud daughter of heaven.
