(Corrected, the Asian region is the quarterfinals this year)

The Chinese team finally qualified from the group.

The fans across the country, the leaders and the international players were very happy.

The domestic news media has not forgotten Dong Fangzhuo's credit, and when looking back on the process of qualifying from the group, they believe that the away game against Kuwait was the most important turning point, and Dong Fangzhuo is the most key figure among them.

Without Dong Fangzhuo, there would be no top 10 match for the Chinese team this time. The media believes that 19-year-old Dong Fangzhuo can succeed Hao Haidong.

Everyone paid attention to the line, and did not find that Dong Fangzhuo had returned to China.

It wasn't until Dong Fangzhuo reboarded the plane back to the UK that fans at the airport spotted him.

After only staying in China for two days, Dong Fangzhuo flew back to England.

The fans didn't let him go, and surrounded him to ask for photos and autographs.

Coincidentally, Dong Fangzhuo actually met an acquaintance on the plane.

This is not an ordinary acquaintance, and I have often been in contact with him in my previous life.

Qu Weiyuan, editor-in-chief of "Sports Weekly".

Qu Weiyuan, the former president and editor-in-chief of Sports Weekly, is a witness to the growing growth of China's sports media.

Qu Weiyuan made an annual profit of 50 million yuan for a local tabloid with a circulation of 5,000 copies, and was known as a "media wizard".

In April 2009, Qu Weiyuan was taken away by relevant parties on suspicion of privately dividing assets......

The ending is sad, but it does not prevent Dong Fangzhuo from respecting Qu Weiyuan.

Maybe this encounter changed the trajectory of Dong Fangzhuo's life and saved his life......

Some people say that the temperament of "Sports Weekly" is the temperament of Qu Youyuan.

There is some truth to this.

At this time, Qu Weiyuan was only 40 years old, and under his thick hair, he exuded a gentle and unyielding temperament.

"Teacher Qu!"

The first to say hello was actually Dong Fangzhuo.

"Dong Fangzhuo?"

Qu Weiyuan was very surprised, he didn't expect Dong Fangzhuo to actually know him.

"Oops, what a coincidence."

"I went to the UK this time to interview you, no, we haven't met, how do you know me?" Qu Weiyuan couldn't figure it out.

Dong Fangzhuo smiled embarrassedly, "I don't often read sports weekly newspapers, your avatar often appears ......"

"I didn't put a picture in the newspaper......

"Haha, I'm just going to know you anyway."

Dong Fangzhuo didn't want to dwell on this issue with him, "You can interview casually." ”

I still remember that when I worked hard in Belgium in my last life, Mr. Qu Weiyuan always cared about himself, encouraged himself, and pointed out the direction for himself.

It's just that he wasn't competitive enough, and he finally collapsed, and when he left Manchester United, Qu Weiyuan had already been investigated......

Thinking about it now, Dong Fangzhuo's heart felt a little more guilty.

"Sports Weekly" is the most professional and authoritative sports media in China.

In 2001, when China qualified for the World Cup, it set a record of 2.62 million copies, and is currently issued three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with a period of about 1.6 million copies and a cycle of 5 million copies. Since October 21, 2013, the retail price has increased from 2 yuan to 3 yuan.

Dong Fangzhuo himself has a good impression of "Sports Weekly", when he used to play in Dalian, he always liked to pool money with Zhu Ting to buy "Sports Weekly", and the price at that time was only 1.5 yuan a copy.

The two of them have a good time, and a lot of knowledge about world football and domestic football comes from the knowledge of this newspaper.

In the past, "Sports Weekly" has serialized his experience of studying abroad, and this time, as the name suggests, Qu Weiyuan will do the same.

It's just that Dong Fangzhuo has a lot of ideas.

He doesn't want the media to only report on his glamorous side, he hopes that "Sports Weekly" can report positively and objectively on his hard work to pursue his dreams.

At the same time, he hopes that Sports Weekly will not only report on himself, but also on other potential peers.

For example, Feng Xiaoting, a central defender of the same age as him, Zhou Haibin and Zhao Xuri, who have already played results, Chen Tao, who is star-studded, etc., these guys are actually worth reporting.

The most important thing is that the media should not only play the role of positive reporting, but also play the role of supervision and encouragement.

In the past, the domestic media spoiled the players and blew them into the sky, causing the players to be fluttering and gradually losing their original direction.

Once a player has money and fame, he loses his original motivation, and after that, the football of the whole country is also sad......

Dong Fangzhuo feels that his strength alone is not enough, but Chinese football at this time, these Chinese players of the same age as him at this time, still have time to start over.

As the most influential sports media in China, "Sports Weekly" is the best platform, and it should play a positive role.

Dong Fangzhuo didn't want to miss this opportunity.

So on the plane, he and Mr. Qu had a long talk, talking a lot about the future of young Chinese players and the future of Chinese football.

Teacher Qu Weiyuan was dumbfounded when he heard it, because what Dong Fangzhuo said was too shocking.

For more than ten hours on the plane, he was almost always listening, listening to Dong Fangzhuo.

He couldn't have imagined that the far-reaching ideas and advice he had heard for Chinese players and national football had come from a 19-year-old player.

He had to look at Dong Fangzhuo with admiration.

Such Dong Fangzhuo will definitely be able to become an excellent football player in the future.

And under Dong Fangzhuo's advice, he broadened his horizons and had new ideas for understanding Chinese football and Chinese young players.

In his mind, not only Dong Fangzhuo's Manchester United journey, but also some other young players have entered his thoughts.

This trip to England has only just begun, and he feels that he has gained a lot.

This rekindled his passion for Chinese football......

Back in Manchester, Dong Fangzhuo invited Qu to watch Manchester United's Champions League match against Lyon at home.

United eventually won 2-0 at home to Lyon, thanks to Ruud van Nistelrooy, who returned from injury, and Wayne Rooney provided two assists.

Unexpectedly, Sun Jihai, who had just returned from the national team, was also on the scene, and he was also an old acquaintance with Qu Weiyuan.

"Vanney's goal came at a bad time, Xiao Dong has to face the competition of Vanney again......"

Dong Fangzhuo smiled, "Even if there is no Vanney, there will be others, even if it is in the national team, there will always be competition." ”

"Well, it's a good mentality."

When three Chinese get together, they are naturally inseparable from the topic of the Chinese team.

"I'm afraid of using people indiscriminately!"

When talking about the national team, Sun Jihai had a little bit of emotion, because Alihan had never paid attention to him.

"I think this grouping is mysterious again."

"South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, we don't know which one to fight......"
