Football: Start by playing as Ronaldo and beat Manchester United!

The next morning at nine o'clock.

Su Fan got up early and finished his morning exercise on time. While eating breakfast, he called the current head coach of the Chinese national football team, Gao Hongbo, according to the number given by his mother.

On the phone, after the other party learned of Su Fan's identity, he was immediately surprised and said: "What, it's really Su Shen!"

Then, Coach Gao praised Su Fan in various ways and congratulated him in the receiver.

It was like a little fan boy receiving a call from his idol, and his voice was full of excitement and excitement.

"Haha, that's enough, Coach Gao, stop flattering me."

Su Fan was a little embarrassed by the praise from this senior of the national football team, and quickly changed the subject:

"I'm young, and it's easy for me to get carried away by being praised. Let's talk about business first."

Gao Hongbo paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "Uh..."

"Oh, my recent performance as a leader is really not up to par."

"If it weren't for the urgency of the matter and the fear of wasting your time, I would be embarrassed to speak now."

Su Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this:

"Are you really going to do it as you did on the social platform before? What was said on the stage, let me join the national team as the core and captain, and prepare for this year's Asian Games? "

"If that's the case, I have to look at the club's schedule first to make sure if I can make time."

Hearing this, Gao Hongbo hurriedly said: "No, no, no, Su Shen, don't get me wrong!"

"With the current level of the national football team, how can I really pull you into the team..."

"If I really do this, hundreds of millions of Shenzhou fans will scold me to death!"

Then, he frankly admitted that the national football team has been in a "mud can't help the wall" situation for nearly ten years, and even in the next five years.

First, since 2007, starting from first-tier cities across the country, the real estate industry has entered a stage of rapid development, and no one is willing to spend money on football fields, clubs, etc.

Football teams in various provinces are more like interest classes.

The level is only a little higher than that of amateurs.

Second, the attention and level of the whole people on sports are seriously out of touch with economic development.

The most typical manifestation is that the streets are full of various training classes and Internet cafes crowded with primary and secondary school students.

Even basketball courts and badminton courts are hard to find, not to mention football fields that cover a larger area.

Many schools even hire sickly physical education teachers to improve the enrollment rate.

Every time the students have a longed physical education class, they will make wolfberry tea and give the class to Chinese, math and English teachers.

To put it bluntly, everyone wants to make quick money.

For football, which takes five or six years, or even more than ten years to achieve results, no one wants to bother.

"If football had one-fifth the popularity of table tennis in the country, I wouldn't have to pick the best from the rotten persimmons and put together a team."

"Even Iceland, with a population of only 340,000, has 20,000 registered professional players."

"But the number of professional players in our country combined is less than 10,000."

"One-third of them are over 30 years old. This is not just a lack of successors, but a gap of several years!"

Speaking of this, Gao Hongbo couldn't help but complain:

"Moreover, the players are heavily linked to the image and performance of the place."

"The most typical phenomenon is that local athletes represent China and win places in the world competition. The country and the local area will give certain rewards."

"The athlete will naturally become the city's business card and use his own fame and influence to participate in the city's image work."

"In this way, it is very likely that as a coach, I will see a good seedling, but I will not be able to train him in Yanjing."

"As for local clubs, they have turned football into a business."

"The most common situation In fact, they earn the difference in the middle by buying low and selling high in a way similar to the financial market. "

"Even they are specifically using the banner of football clubs to defraud local governments and enterprises of huge subsidies."

After listening to this, Su Fan couldn't help but feel deeply helpless, and the burden on his shoulders seemed to be heavier:

"Then you came to me, is there anything you need my help with?"

Gao Hongbo calmed down a little: "That's it."

"I originally wanted to invite you to the national team as an assistant coach so that I could give these players a good lesson and impart some experience."

"But after talking to you, I feel more deeply that the current team is too difficult to support."

"So, I changed my mind and hope you can be a publicity ambassador for football."

"The specific work is to take time to go to Yanjing for a few days and cooperate with us to shoot promotional videos, so that it can be put on CCTV's major channels during the World Cup."

Su Fan learned of the other party's idea, thought for a moment, and felt that he had nothing else to do except training during this period, so he quickly agreed.

NextIn the ten days since he came.

Accompanied by Gao Hongbo and his team, Su Fan arrived in Yanjing from Hangzhou and filmed a series of promotional videos at the national football team's training base.

The general content was that he and the national athletes appeared together, shouted slogans, and then had several training classes and theoretical classes, which was considered as experience sharing.

In fact, he was just going through the motions. How could two or three hours of preaching have any substantial effect?

When Su Fan came back from Yanjing, it was the opening of the 2010 South Africa World Cup.

However, this year is different from the past...

CCTV5 conducted a two-hour warm-up before the live broadcast of the event, and no longer played the program of the commentator and the beautiful lady's wonderful interaction, but the promotional video of the national football team.

It must be said that CCTV's production team is still very efficient. It took only three days to complete the tedious work of post-production editing, dubbing, color grading, etc.

The effect presented to the audience is that Su Fan wears the national team jersey and leads the players to train and play against each other.

At the end, there is a medium shot of Su Fan, saying a slogan:

"I am Su Fan, I endorse Shenzhou football!"

The ending screen is the team logo of Shenzhou National Football Team, and the slogan:

"Let's participate in football together with Su Shen!"

After watching it, Su Fan felt that it was a bit rustic, but it was too down-to-earth.

But it also counts as a contribution to the development of the national football team, and there is nothing to be picky about.

On major social platforms, this matter has caused heated discussions among the people:

"Damn! I don't know if you have seen that all major CCTVs are playing Su Shen's football promotion advertisements during prime time. Is our Su Shen so famous?"

"Otherwise, can you name any player of the national football team? I'm afraid you don't even know the name of the head coach or what his record is. Su Shen has 10 million fans in the 'Su Fan Bar' alone. How can he not be amazing?"

"Hahaha, this official recognition is really full of face! Su Shen is awesome!"

When everyone was discussing it,

Su Fan and his father Su Zhenguo were eating fruit while sitting side by side on the sofa, staying up late to watch the focus match between Uruguay and France in Group A of the World Cup.

"Huh? These people are all foreigners, and there are no Shenzhou players on the field?"

At this time, Shen Biqin came to join in the fun: "Or is it like the European League, there are Shenzhou players, but few, and they are all on the bench?"

Su Zhenguo smiled and shook his head: "I think too much, this is the World Cup!"

"It is a confrontation between football powers in the five continents."

"Shenzhou players are unable to make it out of the Asian qualifiers. Now they are sitting in front of the TV with their legs crossed, eating fruit, and watching the game like us."

Shen Biqin frowned slightly when she heard this, and then shook her head:

"Don't talk nonsense, doesn't our national team have Yao Ming who is more than two meters tall? He is so awesome!"

"With Yao Ming here, how could we not enter the World Cup?"
