Chapter 665 Great Changes in Chinese Football

"The performance of this group of national football players is...acceptable, at least much better than before. After all, most of the time, they can show their true level. It’s still rare to see.”

"The main reason why we only rank No.3 in the group now is that the opponents are very strong. Although Iraq has no famous stars, their players are very average, and West Asian football has both Eastern and Western skills. Their characteristics also give them a natural advantage in the arena in the Asian region, and they are particularly good at taking advantage of their home court. It is not surprising that they have become the favorites to qualify. There have been enough reports, so I won’t say much here, our national football team can achieve the current results in such a highly competitive group, and we can already give them a passing grade.”

"If you want to say that there is still a lot of gap between us in football in the same day, although I have been coaching in Europe, I still try to keep an eye on the domestic league and national team games, so it is more or less there. I understand. The biggest problem is ability. Whether it is outstanding individuals or as a whole, we are still far from the top level in Asia. Li Tenglong is the number one star of the national football team, but he is only a mid-level team in the Premier League. Coventry Let’s look at the players in Japan and Kimchi Country. Kenhide Kubo, who is the same age as Dalong, is the leading striker of La Liga powerhouse Celta Vigo, and Lee Kang-in is the core of Arsenal’s midfield. The gap is already It's very obvious."

"And what is worrying is that while new talents from Japan and Japan are springing up like mushrooms after rain, and new talents from Vietnam, North Korea and other countries are also emerging, the reserve force of our Celestial Dynasty has shown a breakdown Under the current situation, among the golden age group of East Asian players aged 24-28, there are actually only two players who play in China that meet the requirements of the national team. For many years in a row, international competitions have to rely on the support of veterans over the age of 30. It’s so sad.”

"Fortunately, through the joint efforts of many football workers and people of insight, this situation has changed in a more positive direction. In the past three or four years, as many as 30 young players in China have been granted the opportunity to study in Europe. I am more optimistic about the opportunity to exercise and their potential. As long as they can work hard to improve themselves, and with the help of some luck, such as not encountering major injuries, I believe their future is worth looking forward to. of."

"What do you think of the previous rumors that I will coach the national football team? I still have a contract with Real Madrid. I must not be able to take over other teams, otherwise I will have to pay the club a sky-high liquidated damages. Remember It needs more than 3000 million euros. Who would do such a stupid thing? And even if there is no club contract, I will not become the head coach of the national team at this time, because high-level guidance is the most suitable right now That person is better than me."

"Round coaching ability, Gao Zhi's previous achievements in the Tianchao League and the National Football Team need not be described further. After that, he won the honor praised by the entire European football circle in Spain. Everyone must be very clear about this. Yes, the most important thing is that he understands the current national team members better than I do. Over the past ten years, we have spent huge sums of money to hire many so-called foreign famous coaches to coach club teams or national teams, but Except for Mr. Lippi, none of them have achieved very good results. The main reason is that they do not understand the domestic football environment at all, and they just forcefully apply their European tactics to our players, which can bring out good results. When the grades come, it’s a ghost. In this respect, I’m not as good as my high fingers.”

"So as far as the current situation is concerned, no one is more suitable to be the coach of the national football team than Guidance Gao. Moreover, his performance in leading the team in the top 18 is worthy of recognition, and he failed to get a better ranking. It is mainly due to the overall strength of the team. At least in my opinion, he is still remarkable in on-the-spot command and tactical arrangement. It is not as unbearable as some keyboard gangsters say. commented."

"Here, I would like to appeal to our fans, don't always engage in all kinds of hacking, guessing, and spraying behaviors about Tianchao football. Moderate criticism is a spur, but excessive accusations are really inappropriate. People No one is perfect, even great men like Kong Shengren and Yue Wumu have shortcomings, not to mention us ordinary people. Naturally, everyone can criticize players for not playing well in the game. But what is your purpose of criticizing them is also very important. If you really want to wake them up for the development of football in our country, then I would like to say thank you and ask you to continue to pay attention. But if I came here with pure malice, so I have nothing to say about a clown, and I look forward to the arrival of the Internet real name system one day sooner."

"The news about the Olympic Table Tennis champion Zhao XX posted on Weibo to comment on the Football Association, I know, I saw it on the Internet two days ago, and I felt a little baffled. But it's not about our national table tennis player, but about the future. Fierce reactions from football journalists and famous players in the football world. Good guy, didn’t they just make a layman’s suggestion in their eyes, as for such a mobilizing team to form a good bombardment?”

"I also said that people are laymen pointing fingers, standing and talking without pain in the back, and there are even some who attack them personally. You say it is shameful. As a football industry practitioner, I feel blush for them!"

"You Tianchao football has been invested so much money by the state and consumes so much resources from the people. In the end, it has become such a virtue. You still don't allow others to say a few words or make some suggestions? No matter what you say is right or not, at least their words The fundamental purpose is for the good of our football. Just for this, you people who rely on football to make a living have to thank others. You are also brazenly talking about educating those who are blind, and saying that they are warmly welcome to the Football Association. Being the chairman, if the national football team can't make it to the World Cup, they will go to the mountainous area to teach for a year. It's really unbearable. According to this logic, they are so capable, why don't they lead Tianchao football to the world? Really Obvious double standards...that what!"

"Once again, the development of our football requires the concerted efforts of everyone who cares about and loves this sport, so I don't know how those football people who always feel good about themselves and don't allow other so-called outsiders to speak out I think about it, but at least I, Gao Guidance and other coaches and many players still know what unity is strength, and I hope that when similar incidents happen next time, we can see a more tolerant and more sloppy ending."

"As for the proposals put forward by Zhao Guoshou, although the starting point is good, but realistically speaking, it should not have much effect. For example, further restricting the annual salary of professional players will only make the situation worse, because Chinese football players Originally, the only thing that could have some temptation for young people is the salary that exceeds that of ordinary workers. Even after the Football Association issued a salary limit order many years ago, the current income of players is far from as high as it was ten years ago. But overall it is still very impressive. It’s just that if the salary is further cut, it is estimated that not many children are willing to take this sport as a career. After all, dreams cannot be eaten.”

"Furthermore, from the perspective of the overall environment, excellent professional sports athletes earn more than ordinary people, which has also been tested by time and European football. "

"In the same way, it is very unreliable to implement a complete militarized management of the national team, and to sentence them to jail if they can't play well. These will greatly weaken young people's ability to engage in professional football. Enthusiasm, ultimately leads to the opposite result."

"As for the reliable method, everyone waits for the regulations announced by the newly established Sports Reform Committee. I can't get anything from me now. Well, the response to the development of the national football team and the Chinese football team is temporarily announced. One paragraph has already said enough, if anyone raises relevant questions again, then this event will have to be terminated early, don’t blame me for not reminding everyone.”

"I have indeed made a decision that I will not renew my contract with Real Madrid. After completing the coaching work for the new season, I will take a break for a while. There are many reasons. Some want to set aside more time to spend with my family, and some I am very tired physically and mentally after working for a long time, and I need to take a long vacation to recover. By the end of this year, I will be 46 years old, and my energy and physical strength are not as good as before. I have a more serious eye disease... Well, myopia is getting worse and worse. So considering the status of the old and the young, it is better not to work as hard as before. After all, I have come to enjoy life It's getting old, isn't it?"

"When will I come back? Please, I haven't started my vacation yet. I will return to Madrid to prepare for the new season at the end of this month. Don't you think it's too early to mention a comeback now? As for whether I will consider taking over the national football team in the future Or a domestic club, also unknown, but I will keep an open mind to all options, who knows what will happen then, maybe I will just retire here is not sure."

"Real Madrid's goal next season is still to win all the championships. Although the process will definitely be more difficult than when they achieved six championships for the first time, as the number one football club in the world, no matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead. , can not stop our determination to pursue the ultimate victory. And in my personal opinion, Real Madrid is still the most powerful in the world. This goal is not just lip service like the habitual slogan of some clubs. The chances of it being achieved are quite high.”

"Pellegri's transfer? There is no more progress yet. I don't know if Juventus can come up with enough chips, but whether he stays or chooses to leave, it will not treat me. The above-mentioned strength judgment has an impact. I can boast without shame that Real Madrid’s youth training is definitely the best talent training base in the entire world football. Echelons at all levels recruit young stars and repurchase youth training players outside, which is enough to replenish their strength in the shortest possible time. Therefore, all Chinese fans who support the Galaxy Battleship do not need to panic because of some transfer news, because It's all within the control of the club."

After the end of the interview was repeatedly delayed, from the originally scheduled one hour to nearly two hours, Li Moody, who was already thirsty, was finally freed, and hurried back to his room to deal with private affairs .

In the next three days, the Real Madrid coach maintained a two-point and one-line lifestyle in the hotel and hospital. Even if relatives and friends came to the door, he would never go to public places to avoid being entangled by the reporters who stayed nearby 24 hours a day live.

But such a simple day came to an end on the last Saturday in June. At 23:15 on the [-]rd, major media across the country received a fax notice signed by the Sports Reform Committee, which stated that the A press conference was held in the Tianchao Football Association office building in the afternoon of the next day, and some new measures for football development that had been approved by ZY and were about to be implemented nationwide were also listed.

These include further strengthening the equipment of software and hardware facilities for campus sports, strictly controlling students' physical education subjects in the senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, gradually dividing campus sports, and adopting encouraging scoring standards for individual sports (that is, sports after primary and secondary schools). The class will learn the setting of the university, and in addition to comprehensive exercise, it will be subdivided into sub-items such as football and basketball. In addition to the subjects that originally examine physical fitness, a specific sports event should also be selected for assessment during the exam, and The projects that I want to focus on promoting, such as football, appropriately reduce the difficulty of obtaining scores, so as to encourage students to choose this project more. But this is of course temporary. After the football population gets a certain degree of recovery, it will restore equal treatment status) and many other new measures aimed at the development of youth sports.

These are all very similar to the "Li's advice" revealed not long ago, which instantly ignited the domestic sports circle and even the entire industry.

Although it is still unclear whether these measures can finally change the poor physical fitness of Chinese teenagers and the underpopulation of many sports such as football, it is still unknown from the firm attitude shown by ZY. glimmer of hope.

However, when everyone started to discuss these measures frantically through various channels, Li Moody, one of the parties involved, had already boarded a flight to Europe and left his homeland.

The several goals of returning to China this time have been roughly achieved, and now it is time to return to the club to fulfill his responsibilities and obligations as the head coach of the team.
