Me, Captain of China

"Chinese football, stand up from now on!"

The supreme leader of the Football Association suddenly shouted on the podium ...

Although it sounds weird, it seems reasonable. But if it is the World Cup, not just the Olympics, this sentence may be more convincing.

Since reform and opening up, the long-weakened Chinese have always regarded the level of sports as a symbol of national strength and an important way to compete with the Western world. The women's volleyball team won the "five consecutive championships" in the 1980s and was considered to have "raised the national prestige." However, as the world's largest football, the Chinese team's performance has always been so useless. This has become a big stone that weighs on the Chinese people. Some people even raised it to the national dignity and honor.

The madness after the game is indescribable, CCBV5 immediately collected voices from all over the country:

"I planned to go to the hospital for treatment this afternoon, but after arriving at the hospital, I found that the doctors in the hospital's internal medicine were gone. The doctors who knew that it was not an emergency department went to the Chinese team to play football. , Immediately squeezed into a place with a TV, and watched the game himself. "

"All the places with TV sets in our school's gymnasium, electronic classrooms, canteens, etc. were squeezed. The students were sweating but their enthusiasm was high. Every time the Chinese team members burst into the penalty area, they would desperately applaud; There was a shot, and the applause was even more deafening; when they scored, they were almost like immortals. "

"In the afternoon, our company had a meeting with a very important customer, but the CEO said, all cheer for the Chinese team! The Olympic team scored a goal, I reward everyone a thousand dollars! As a result, each of us got four thousand Chun ... Ah, cheer for the national football team! I hope you will always be a victorious general! "

"When the Dunhill Cup won the Korean Youth Team for the first time, I thought it was just good luck."

"I won the Korean National Olympics in Seoul two weeks ago. I was suddenly looking forward to this afternoon's game. This is a war between us and them in the next ten years. The players on both sides are equal. I think if we can beat them again today , It proves that we did not win by luck, but the strength of iron, I really did not expect that we can win them a 4: 0. "

"I just want to fry peanuts now and drink Red Star Erguotou."

...

After Xu Dingmao left the press conference, Houghton and Zheng Zhi walked to the front desk with a smile on their face, and they all came out. No one was interested in listening to Xu Dingmao's reason for failure. It was a Korean matter. As a Chinese, I just want to hear Horton and Zheng Zhi share the joy of victory.

Even the supreme leader of the Football Association appeared here for the first time.

Horton smiled and showed his white teeth.

"I told you a long time ago that we won't overturn in the gutter at home, because we are the strongest team in Asia, and the strong teams naturally want to show the style of the strong teams. We did it and handed out a score of 4: 0. I have always instilled the will and confidence in the players to make them understand that we have the strength to beat any team, in Asia. "

He specifically stated that it was in Asia, not the world, or the cowhide would be blown out.

"I often think that football coaches are just like artists. They need both knowledge and reason, and at the same time they have to flash artistic inspiration and passion from time to time." He was complacent and couldn't help but praise himself. Of course Horton did not forget to play in three games Zheng Zhi, a well-known signature star, said: "Zheng Zhi's performance is impeccable. Not only did he not only excel in his offensive and defensive responsibilities, but also scored goals, he also had a selfless mind. The players are indeed lucky in Chinese football. "

Houghton has held both the Chinese national team and the national Olympic team since July last year. In the agreement signed by the Chinese football team with him, the achievements of these two national teams are closely related to the fate of his coaching in China. According to this agreement, Horton ’s first task is to lead his team into Sydney, which is an important condition for whether he can renew the contract with the Chinese Football Association, and then the next task is to enter the Asian Cup semifinals next year. As for the World Cup qualifiers, it seems that Horton led the team.

The arrogant Holden talked high, he said: "I am confident to create a glorious history of Chinese football in Sydney. We don't just go to the Sydney Olympics to play the group stage, we may be able to break through from the group stage, let us wait Look! "

In addition, he also emphasized that next year 90% of the Chinese Olympic team members will enter the national team training list, the skills and development potential of the Chinese Olympic team players are higher than the national team members.

"There is no doubt that these players are the future of Chinese football. They are the main force of the future national team unless they are affected by injuries and conditions."

Horton, commander of the Chinese national team, Olympic team and youth team, fulfilled his promise with victory. The leaders of the Football Association are naturally happy to say to reporters: "Chinese football has finally made convincing progress and gratifying results. We should fully support Horton."

"Horton is a successful coach hired by the Chinese Football Association to hire foreign coaches. His ability has already been reflected in the Chinese team's competition. The successful appearance of the Chinese Olympic team is enough to illustrate Horton's coaching ability and level.

After listening to the leader's opening, Houghton was naturally more happy: "Now I really feel the enthusiasm and support of the Chinese Football Association."

Excited, the British coach even claimed: "I want to settle permanently in China. The Chinese society is well-maintained, the work is highly paid, and football has improved."

The reporters began to shout, "Hurry to buy a courtyard house in the capital!"

Siheyuan ... Zheng Zhi was choked for a while.

Horton continued to show his ambition: "Chinese football faces three major games: the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the 2000 Asian Cup, and the 2002 World Cup. Now the Olympic team players will be the main force of these three games. The Olympic team players are completely Can bear the responsibilities of these three games. "

"According to my assumption, after the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the addition of 4 to 6 players over the age of 23 can form the most powerful national team and go to Lebanon to participate in the 2000 Asian Cup. This national team will continue to prepare for 2002. In the World Cup, the Olympic team participated non-stop in a series of world and intercontinental competitions. It is ideal to participate in the World Cup after training and experience. By then, the Chinese national team will be a vibrant and combative team . "

Wow ~

The audience received praise.

This is like a Chinese national team coach, how insightful. What was the former Qi Wusheng? I don't have any foresight at all, just look at other people's Horton, and I have already thought about the plan for the next few years. Although he is a foreigner, he is more devoted and dedicated than the Chinese!

Horton's new ideas have been endorsed by many reporters, believing that this is a new idea to revitalize Chinese football.

After blowing up, Horton was also pragmatic, "In the quarter-finals, the Chinese team even succumbed to South Korea and Bahrain. This is a matter of course, because South Korea and Bahrain are not the Chinese team at all. Opponent. However, if the Chinese team wants to win good results at the Sydney Olympics, they must go out and train with the world's best teams. We should go to Europe to train. "

"I expect that the Olympic team will be reorganized in January next year, followed by two phases of 7-day and 10-day training, playing three warm-up matches, the opponents of the warm-up match are all European and American strong teams."

There was another round of applause from the audience. Houghton's voice was too powerful. At least he drew a big and big cake for the Chinese. This cake is really exciting.

Including Zheng Zhi, who is also applauding gently. In the past, the future gap between Holden and Chinese football is really too big, and even he can't imagine how far the future will develop. His fate and Houghton are tightly **** with the national team, and they can be used for both glory and loss. Naturally, he does not want to be the latter.

"Zheng Zhi, what do you think of the head coach's vision?"

"Me? Raise my hands in support."

...

...

※※※※

The Chinese team came out of the group one round in advance, and the last round of playing Bahrain lost meaning. But in Asia, not only the Chinese team did it, but the Japanese team did it too. They also made a qualifying round ahead. The Japanese Olympic team coach Trusi Ebi Horton was even more arrogant. He even made it at the press conference. Shouting for Japan ’s Olympics to win medals at the Olympics, in comparison, Holden is low-key.

But Horton's remarks at the press conference still drove the entire South Korea crazy.

"South Korea and Bahrain are not our opponents at all, we have to compete with the strong European teams." This sentence Chiguo Guo hit the Koreans, when the three major Korean sports newspapers "Seoul Sports", "Korean Sports", "Today Sports "At the same time when reprinting this phrase from Houghton, the fans of the Republic of Korea were completely crazy.

"Arrogant Holden!"

"Villain's ambition!"

"Wait, the Asian Cup is coming!"

"We will take revenge!"

"One day, when we win the game again, you will also have a sinking day!"

When I think of the failure of 0: 4, people gritt their teeth, and it is estimated that this score will be a heart disease of Korean football for a long time in the future.

...

...

A week later, the Chinese team won Bahrain 2: 0 on the road and advanced to the Sydney Olympics with four victories. At the same time, Japan and Kuwait went to Sydney. Everything was settled.

The AFC official website also congratulated the three national teams and summarized this Olympic qualifier.

——The midfielders win the world, whether it is China or Japan, Zheng Zhi and Hideo Nakata are the core of the team's midfield. In addition to the two of them, Li Yin, Tosuke Nakamura, etc. have all demonstrated their abilities. . On the contrary, because of the lack of excellent midfielders, South Korea cannot compete with China, and hate the group stage ...

...

※※※※

The time turned to late July, half of this summer, Zheng Zhi just rested in Shenyang's house for a week, and then flew to Germany again to start training with the new club teammates.

This season, there are no longer Li Yin, Li Weifeng and Yang Chen, and Barak, these future superstars. The Frankfurt club, which still has many Chinese internationals, has come to the Chinese team to prepare for the new season. This club now has a very high popularity in China, higher than Manchester United and AC Milan, who won the 1999 Champions League. Although Leverkusen did not come to China, the popularity is also skyrocketing. In their special stores in the Chinese capital, Shenyang, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the No. 10 jersey has been sold crazy, although Leverkusen 10 No. jersey piracy is rampant, but the store has sold 100,000 pieces in just one month. This data directly seconds all Leverkusen players ...

Many people have not yet understood the commercial value of Zheng Zhi, but the competitive value is clearer. Zheng Zhi came here under the title of the best newcomer in the Bundesliga. Even Barak was defeated by him. When these two young men appeared on the training ground, no one dared to underestimate them. Even the Brazilian national team admitted that Emerson and Ze Roberto dared to despise.

Naturally, Zheng Zhi dare not look down upon his new teammates. Here, he actually has no advantage. Anyone who pulls out is a star. Some stars have more big names than him, like Emerson, Ze Roberto, Barack, behind are the world's top midfielders, and guards like Novotny are also the world at the time Not to mention the full-back, captain Kirsten, and the newcomer Neuville is not inferior.

Both Zheng Zhi and Barak politely greeted the club teammates, but there are still some guys who don't know the name.

For example, the Brazilian Ponte who just reported. Ponte is a Brazilian. He used to play for the Guarani Club in Paraguay, South America. Here is a little-known guy.

Another Zheng Zhi was somewhat impressed, but the name was impressive. Thomas Burdaric, who was transferred from Deutsche B Cologne Futuna.

There is also a Czech player, Fratislav Gresco from the transfer from Bratislava International Club.

These three people are younger than Zheng Zhi, but compared to others, they are young people.

When facing Zheng Zhi, they all felt a bit cautious. 19-year-old Zheng Zhi is already the best newcomer in the Bundesliga. They are nothing, so they behaved more politely.

Of course, in addition to fame, strength is more important. Although Zheng Zhi's strength is excellent, there is no advantage in this team. Ze Roberto and Emerson are the main players in the Brazilian midfielder. Zheng Zhi took the best Bundesliga rookie. It ’s nothing to blame, so Zheng Zhi is also very low-key.

When he first arrived, he could only depend on Barak for the time being. Holding the group was the most natural choice. However, Emerson clearly has a good impression of Zheng Zhi. The two not only exchanged jerseys last season, but Emerson also gave the No. 10 jersey to Zheng Zhi this season. He also took Zheng Zhi's helicopter.

So when Zheng Zhi and Barak were staying together, Emerson offered to say hello.

"Hey, you two rookies,"

"Come, come,"

Emerson beckoned, "Join to play the game together."

On the first day of training, there will not be any heavy exercise training, which is restorative. Emerson asked everyone to play the monkeys together.

"Let ’s start with you guys, you two come to grab the ball."

He pointed to Ponte and Gresco. These two guys are the most unfamiliar rookies, naturally let them grab the ball first.

Everyone had no opinion, and a big circle was formed here to start playing.

But just beginning, the figure of captain Kirsten appeared on the training ground.

"Hey guys,"

"Don't play, go to the meeting room quickly, something big will happen."

Kirsten waved his hand, beckoning everyone to hurry over.

"What's the big deal, Captain, did Bayern Munich come over?"

"Carefully, the head held a press conference." Kirsten glared at Novotny, and further explained seriously, "He went to be tested."

"Uh! Why don't I know?"

"I don't know. Let's go, don't miss it." Kirsten walked ahead without looking back. It was obvious that Kirsten cared about Dom.

As a military commander, Daum's performance in Leverkusen is obvious to everyone. If Daum is out of class for that matter, then Leverkusen will be headless. Even if you change a coach, Leverkusen cannot be picked up in a short time.

Therefore, Daom better not to have an accident!

As the captain of the team and the oldest qualified person in the team, he cares about winning a Bundesliga championship before he reaches the end of his career, and Daum is obviously the most suitable head coach.

Everyone silently followed behind Kirsten, UU reading www.uukanshu.com entered the meeting room. The television in the conference room was already on, and many of the staff were squeezed in, even the workers who maintained the turf.

It seems that there are too many people who care about Daum.

"Krustov is so stupid,"

"He has absolutely no need to succumb,"

"What do you care about what those people think?"

"Ugh……"

The staff grieved Daom, "What a good person he is, and don't understand why so many people attacked him."

"The people at Bayern Munich must have deliberately adjusted him."

...

...

In front of the TV lens, Daum sat steadily at the press conference, surrounded by the club's general manager Carlmond, and sports director Waller. The two people sat next to each other, this is the biggest support for Daum.

There was a guy in uniform next to the German Football Association leader with a file bag in his hand.

Mr. Chairman first made a statement, clarifying the purpose of holding this press conference, naturally for Daom.

The scene immediately gave Daum a big close-up. Daum still sat calmly, his expression relaxed, and he looked confident.

After more than six months of conditioning, he believes that he absolutely has no problems, and he can definitely succeed.

So, when the guy in uniform was about to check the results at the beginning of the year, his mouth even showed a faint smile.

"The result of the inspection is,"

The face of the uniformed man flashed slightly,

"Positive."

There was an uproar in the audience.

Daum's smile will instantly be in the air. After a few seconds, he jumped up and the muscles on his face trembled wildly.

"conspiracy!"

"All this is a **** conspiracy!"
