Despite being in the lead, PSV Eindhoven fans were already somewhat dissatisfied because more than 1 minutes had passed and the score was still 0:. They only scored one goal in the entire first half and gave the opponent several counterattack opportunities, even though the opponent was just a second-tier team!

Girard also realized this problem. He scolded everyone in the locker room, including Kežman who scored the goal, because in the first half, he was careless and generously wasted several scoring opportunities.

"Don't think you can relax just because you're ahead. What's there to be proud of if you're only one goal ahead? Don't forget the shame we brought upon you in the last game. The ball is round. No one can let down their guard until the end of the game! I ask you to seize the initiative in the second half and expand your lead! Don't give them any chances!"

During the halftime break, the atmosphere in the locker rooms of the two teams seemed to be reversed. When Girard was roaring nervously, Martins praised his men with a smile on his face: "Well, you did a good job! Use our counterattack to put pressure on them. The strength on the court has nothing to do with fame, but depends on the feet!"

Shen Bin whispered to Howard beside him: "How many times were you offside in the first half?"

Howard thought for a moment, "Twice. Their defense is pressed forward, which is very suitable for offside."

Shen Bin waved and called Deng Zhuoxiang over, and the three of them whispered for a while.

After the start of the second half, neither side made any personnel adjustments and the formation did not change.

Girard believes that with the current players, if they work hard, they will be able to deal with Hallam Athletic.

Martins was like a cook without rice, and most of what he said in the locker room was encouraging. In fact, he knew very well that it would be difficult to force a draw with the opponent. As long as the opponent did not underestimate the enemy and controlled the ball under his feet, it was almost certain that Haarlem Athletic would lose.

After the start of the second half, Eindhoven's attack became more frantic, but the effect was not satisfactory. This was mainly due to the targeted defense of Haarlem Athletic. Van Bommel always looked embarrassed when organizing the attack due to the entanglement of Tiote. Tiote gradually gained the upper hand with his physical strength and the superior physical flexibility of black people.

Girard kept shouting on the sidelines, but PSV became more and more impatient. Not only did the full-backs fully participate in the attack, but even the two central defenders were pressed near the center line.

The ball fell to Van Bommel's feet again. Under Tiote's close pressure, his pass to the right was short. Shen Bin alertly intercepted the ball, turned half-way and made a long-distance pass.

The two central defenders of PSV Eindhoven habitually pressed forward at the same time before Shen Bin kicked the ball, trying to create offside again. However, this time, Howard did not turn around to chase the ball, but ran back with the two defenders of the opponent.

In the office of the vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, on the 18th floor of Building A, Shidong International Center, No. 17 Guangqu Road, Chaoyang District, Yanjing City, Zhang Jilong was holding two lists handed over by the Football Association Secretariat in the afternoon with a frown on his face. These were two lists of 23 people for the national team.

One is the final list submitted to the AFC for the national team's World Cup qualifier against Hong Kong in an away game in a dozen days, and the other is the list of the national youth team going to Germany for training in October.

Just as he expected, the child who caused a huge disturbance recently was not on the list. As long as this list is published in the newspaper, the outside world will generally believe that the absence of Shen Bin is because the Football Association is affected by public opinion, which is a very normal manifestation of risk avoidance.

But as an insider, he knew those people's personalities too well, and he had also heard some rumors vaguely. He picked up the copy of the contract signed between Shen Bin and Harlem Athletic.

No one would believe that there is no trick here. If it wasn't done by an insider, how could the reporter have obtained this contract?

Logically speaking, this contract can only be obtained from four places. Shen Bin and Haarlem SC cannot possibly make this contract public. Also, the Dutch Football Association and the Chinese Football Association have both filed it. Since the problem is in China, it must have been leaked from here.

Moreover, when the Beijing News published this news, as the Football Association, why didn't it make the truth public? The Football Association has the responsibility and obligation to speak for its players, and this is a statement without any negative impact.

As the vice president in charge of external relations, sometimes I really can't extend my hands too far.

Moreover, the superiors have already talked to me. The newly sent *** Yan Shiduo came with the hopes of the superiors. I heard that he reported his plan for taking office to the leaders and got the approval of the big guys. As the most senior official of the Football Association, I have hindered the reform path of the new leadership. The leaders suggested that I step down and make way for the young people.

But, am I just going to leave in such disgrace?

The National Football Management Center can speak up for Shen Bin. Those in charge of the club, league, player transfers, and registrations all have reasons to speak up for this kid. I also mentioned it from the side, but it made some people unhappy, and they obviously thought I had crossed the line.

This afternoon, I went to celebrate the birthday of my old leader Nian Weisi. The scene was deserted. Apart from the young people and their close relatives, I was the only one who came. During the conversation with the old man, I found that he was still brooding over the two black three minutes in 88.

In recent years, the level of the national team has been declining, which is closely related to youth training, and youth training is closely linked to the performance of the national team.

Originally, 2002 was a good opportunity. It was the first time that the Chinese national football team entered the World Cup. As long as it was managed well, there was a chance for revival. As long as public opinion was well controlled, it would have a positive effect on the domestic football environment. However, my colleagues were too ambitious and were blinded by victory. They still thought about qualifying from the group stage. It was simply wishful thinking. Didn’t they have any idea what level the Chinese national football team was at?

We are originally second-rate in Asia, and we exchanged future benefits with the West Asians to draw such a good draw. We are the only ones in the Football Association and even in the entire Chinese football world who know that we have no chance of participating in this World Cup. We can't let you take all the benefits!

From the reports from the AFC Referee Committee about the two groups of referees officiating the match between China and Kuwait, we know that in a dozen days’ time, the match between Kuwait and China will definitely end later than that between China and China. What’s the point of comparing goal difference?

"Alas..." When will the Chinese team be able to go beyond Asia with its true strength!

There is no hope in 06. 10 and 14 are the last hope for the Chinese team. This group of young people are the ones affected by the professionalization reform. As long as they are carefully cared for, there is still a little hope. Those who participate in football training with them are the largest group in Chinese history.

There are more than 5 people registered with the Football Association, which is incomparable to the 20 in South Korea and 60 in Japan, but the genes of the Chinese are not comparable to those of Japan and South Korea after all.

For thousands of years, the Central Plains has been the orthodox land of East Asia, after all, and cannot be compared with the descendants of exiles and outcasts.

Even so, the number of people in youth training cannot be too different. After all, football is a sport that selects the best from the best. This year, the number of people in this age group participating in youth training has dropped to less than 10,000.

The children aged 85-90 are the last hope of Chinese football. If I don’t create a good environment for them, will I spend the rest of my life in self-blame like Nian Weisi?

"No, never..."

Zhang Jilong looked at the two national team lists in his hand, and felt more and more suffocated in his heart, as if the entire Shidong Building was pressing down on him. He frowned and threw the paper out, but immediately jumped over to pick it up and spread it flat on the desk. But the nausea in his heart still did not disappear, so he decided to go out for a walk to relieve his worries and boredom.
