Chapter 8 The Football Association is a good person, thank God Xie Yalong

readx;

For the Chinese sports media, the week leading up to the start of the Bundesliga season is the busiest and most contradictory of all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause the Olympics and the Bundesliga have reasons to pay attention to, especially the first round of the Bundesliga, this is a "Chinese derby"!

Hoffenheim met Cottage Cottage in the first round, which was nothing unusual for the German. But for the Chinese, they can still make a splash. Hoffenheim has Chu Zhongtian, Cartbus has Shao Jiayi, and the two Chinese national team teammates met in the first round of the Bundesliga, which made the Chinese media very interested.

On the other hand, the Olympic Games in Beijing are also a sports event that has attracted worldwide attention, and it is the focus of the report.

At the same time, as the most extensive and popular sport of football, the Chinese Olympic team occupies the advantage of the home field, and how far it can go in the Olympic Games is also of great concern to the media and fans.

Don't look at the usual times so many people scolding Chinese football, but the workers' stadium for the first game of the National Olympic team is still full. It can be seen how influential football is in China.

It's a pity that those Chinese fans who went to watch the game did not see a "planned" victory, and the Chinese team did not defeat New Zealand, which is said to be the weakest in the group, but did not equalize until the 87th minute, which was a bit of a desperate escape.

Didn't win against New Zealand, for the Chinese team, if they want to qualify, they must win the next game. Their next opponent is Belgium.

Before the Olympics, the media analyzed that the Belgian and Chinese teams were on the same level, which means that this game was a close match.

But in reality?

In the first seven minutes, the Chinese team's backline was in a panic and conceded the goal.

In the 52nd minute, the Chinese team suffered another blow. Tan Wangsong kicked the opposing player unnecessarily in a scramble in the midfield, received a red card and was directly expelled from the game.

The day of the match was August 10, and the first round of the Bundesliga was August 15, Chu Zhongtian was still training at Hoffenheim at that time, and later he looked for the video of the game on the Internet to watch. When he saw this scene, he was a little surprised. Because he didn't understand the need for Tan Wangsong's kick at all...... First of all, the ball was not half the ball for both sides, and it took a fierce fight to get possession. Secondly, judging from Tan Wangsong's actions, it is not a normal ball-grabbing action at all, but more like a movie of Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

If Tan Wangsong was not an undercover agent in Belgium, Chu Zhongtian really couldn't think of a suitable reason to explain this foul.

It didn't take long for Zheng Zhi, the captain of the National Olympic team, to elbow the opposing player and be sent off with a red card when he was fighting with his opponent in the game...... Chu Zhongtian still thinks it is understandable for this foul, after all, the opponent also has a pulling action in his hand, because of the entanglement of the defender, which causes the player to be angry, and the example of elbow hitting is not uncommon in world football, the former Brazilian star Leonardo elbowed the opposing player in the 94 World Cup, causing the opposing player to fall unconscious, and was sent off with a red card, and was banned by FIFA from participating in the rest of the World Cup games. So it was a normal foul. There was nothing to say, Zheng Zhi didn't control his emotions.

The Chinese team, which was sent off by two people, is out of play.

At this time, a uniform shout sounded in the stands of the stadium: "Xie Yalong is out of class!" Xie Yalong is out of class! ”

This shout accompanied the football match of the Beijing Olympics until the end, and could be heard even on the field that was not played by the Chinese team. I don't know if the fans are purely spoofing, or if they are venting their dissatisfaction in this way - after all, Xie Yalong's national Olympic team has only given them three such opportunities to vent, and most of them have not yet been addicted to scolding Chinese football.

When Chu Zhongtian finished watching the video of the game, he received a call from Xu Xiaodi.

"Although you were not selected for the national Olympic team, your business value was affected a little at that time. But now it seems, Xiao Chu, you have earned it...... If you are selected for the national Olympic team, with this kind of poor performance of the team, I am afraid that you will be more implicated and more affected. Well, now it doesn't matter how bad the Olympic team is, it doesn't matter to you! ”

"I'm watching the game live!" Xu Xiaodi was chattering on the phone, and Chu Zhongtian could hear it from his voice, his mood was not the same as usual. "Spent hundreds of dollars to watch such a fucking garbage game! I think the last game should be free, but I don't think many people will go...... Wrong! It must be full, because everyone wants to scold Xie Yalong for that stupidity! I'll tell you, Xiao Chu, I've scolded you! Actually, I'm quite happy...... After seeing that the Chinese team lost hope of qualifying, because Xie Yalong's stupid gamble finally failed, I would love to see his failure, I really want to see his expression on the rostrum now, haha! ”

Xu Xiaodi scolded for a while and laughed for a while.

Chu Zhongtian neither persuaded him nor said a word, just listened to him. He knew it was a reaction from an old fan who was so frustrated with Chinese football. He will feel sad about the time wasted in Chinese football for so many years, and he will also be angry at the hopes he once pinned on Chinese football. Chu Zhongtian thought that he could completely understand Brother Xu's psychology, on the one hand, he must have hoped to see the Chinese Olympic team have an outstanding performance, otherwise he would not spend hundreds of yuan to buy tickets to watch it live, just watch it in front of the TV. The people who were able to go to the stadium were real die-hard fans. On the other hand, he applauded the team's already doomed failure, because it meant that Xie Yalong and his Football Association team would have a hard time...... After Xie Yalong steps down, there may be a glimmer of hope.

Why does Chu Zhongtian understand, because Chu Zhongtian himself has such an ambivalent psychology. On the one hand, I hope to see the national Olympic team play well, and on the other hand, I don't want the victory of the national Olympic team to become a fig leaf for the Chinese Football Association. It was with such ambivalence that he watched the video of the game.

Now he doesn't have to contradict it, because the Chinese team is doomed to lose in the next game against the powerful Brazilian Olympic team, and Xie Yalong's Olympic strategy that he has gambled on for several years has finally failed. Listen to the deafening, incomparably clear roar from the stands of the Workers' Stadium, Xie Yalong's life will not be easy...... It's just that a new leader has come to power, is our Chinese football still good?

This is probably even more difficult than Goldbach's conjecture.

※※※After the match against Belgium, the anger of Chinese football fans exploded. Posts condemning the Football Association and Xie Yalong, as well as the National Olympic team, can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

The media is starting to dig over old accounts -- and they do this best. When Xie Yalong announced the team's squad, they temporarily suppressed Chu Zhongtian's problem, and now it can finally come in handy. So although Chu Zhongtian never expressed a single word of opinion on the results of the National Olympic team, his name began to appear frequently in various reports and commentary articles.

Many people think that if Chu Zhongtian had been recruited into the National Olympic team, at least he would not have played so embarrassed, losing both the game and the people. Maybe they really have the ability to make it out of the group - of course, provided that Xie Yalong doesn't run into the dressing room every game to replace head coach Dujkovic in the line-up, let alone choose players on behalf of the head coach. In this case, there may be hope for the Chinese team.

They have prepared a lot of press releases and opinion pieces to torture Xie Yalong. This time, he didn't want to use any excuse to prevaricate. And the media will no longer be afraid of the Football Association's ban order, because the Olympics have been played like this, does it make a difference whether it is reported or not? It may be better not to report it, so as not to add to the blockage of the Chinese people.

Pessimists believe that whether Chu Zhongtian is in the National Olympic team or not, it will not help much in the real situation. Because it is really unfortunate for Chinese football to have a president of the Football Association who likes "forked psoas muscles". Even if Chu Zhongtian is selected for the National Olympic team, he will not be able to enter the main lineup because he has not trained enough fork psoas muscles.

More people are scolding Xie Yalong, Zheng Zhi and Tan Wangsong, scolding them for losing and losing, and losing face in front of fans all over the world. No one scolded them for losing the face of Chinese football, because Chinese football has long been shameless, and naturally they are not afraid of losing face.

There are also people who call on everyone to go to the last group game to watch the game, but they are not to watch the game, nor to watch the performances of the Brazilian stars, but to go to the scene to scold Xie Yalong at close range. "Scolding Yalong" has become a new sports competition in the Beijing Olympic Games, comparing who scolds the loudest, who scolds the most durably, who scolds the most creative, who scolds the most vicious...... ※※※ These have nothing to do with Chu Zhongtian, although there are also Chinese media in Germany who came to ask him what he thinks of the national Olympic team's competition.

Chu Zhongtian said honestly: "I watched the video of the game, I think it's really a tragedy......" He won't say anything superfluous, after all, he didn't participate in the Olympics, and he doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks here. It's better to talk less about the topic of the national Olympic team.

He prefers to brief Chinese journalists about his situation in the team.

I have a good relationship with my teammates, and there is no contradiction that you said some time ago...... The fans here are also very welcoming...... I'm in very good shape...... Of course I want to play in the first round of the league...... Shao Jiayi? I don't know if he's going to play, but I talked to him on the phone when I came to Germany and he welcomed me to play in the Bundesliga, so I thought we'd get together when we had time...... These have nothing to do with the National Olympic team, and people will not feel aggrieved when they hear it.

August 13 is the last match of the Chinese Olympic team at the Olympic Games, and they face Brazil.

The Chinese team has lost hope of qualifying, even if there is a theoretical possibility, it is hopeless to put it on the Chinese team.

Some media sarcastically said that some people were worried that participating in the Olympics would make Chu Zhongtian miss his first "Chinese derby" in the Bundesliga, but now it seems that it is completely unfounded. The Chinese Olympic team is fully capable of ending their Olympic journey before the start of the new Bundesliga season, and Chu Zhongtian will definitely be in time for his first round of the Bundesliga.

In this game, the Chinese team unsurprisingly lost 0:3. The three overage players selected by the national Olympic team did not play their due role in this Olympic Games at all, not to mention, and they have become the sinners of the team's loss.

The first is Zheng Zhi, an impulsive elbow in exchange for a red card, one of the culprits of the team's collapse. Then there's Li Weifeng, the former number one centre-back in the country – and maybe now, too? Before Ronaldinho assisted Brazil's first goal, it was a passing error from Li Weifeng. Then it was Han Peng's turn, because of "insufficient manpower", he was pulled to the back line to play a cameo as a central defender, and a pull foul gave Brazil a chance to score the second goal.

And Chu Zhongtian, an overage player who failed to qualify for the Olympic team, is preparing for his first round of the Bundesliga in Hoffenheim, southern Germany, away from the storm whirlpool.

He didn't even watch the video of this game, and since the Chinese team has lost hope of qualifying, he has no expectations to hold. However, he knew that Xu Xiaodi had gone to the scene, and the three tickets had already been bought, and it would be a waste not to go. Besides, you can scold Xie Yalong on the spot when you go, this is a rare opportunity to scold national cadres without facing risks, even if you don't watch the game, you can go to the scene to vent your anger.

The house price is too high, I can't afford to buy a house, and I scolded Xie Yalong; Cheng Tian was too homely, couldn't find a woman, and scolded Xie Yalong; financial turmoil, lost his job, scolded Xie Yalong; On the way, the wallet was stolen, the mobile phone was deceived, and Xie Yalong was scolded; didn't eat soy milk fritters in the morning, and scolded Xie Yalong; I had a nightmare last night, and I was in a bad mood when I woke up for a day, and scolded Xie Yalong...... In short, Xie Yalong and the Chinese Football Association's only existential purpose at present is to vent the anger of the public.

So the sky above the Workers' Stadium once again resounded with the deafening roar of the fans: "Xie Yalong is out of class!" "Xie Yalong is stupid!" "The Chinese Football Association is disbanded!" "Football Association I**!"

In the roar of the fans, Xie Yalong stood on the rostrum, his already scarce hair was blown away, and his expression was even more magical, messy in the wind. As a gambler, he has been in office for four years, did not make any contribution to the progress of Chinese football, but made outstanding contributions to the destruction of Chinese football, in 2004 the Chinese team failed to impact the World Cup in Germany, that was his first year in office, people thought this was the lowest point of Chinese football, but after experiencing the 2007 Asian Cup and the 2008 Olympic Games, Xie Yalong told everyone: "No! There is no worst in Chinese football, only worse! The lowest point? We've just gotten there! ”

Before taking office, he was known as a "clean official" and was once expected by everyone, but now he is good at meetings and storytelling, but he has become a notorious street rat. In fact, he didn't plan to do anything practical for Chinese football at the beginning, and at the beginning of his tenure, he said to the leaders of the General Administration that "he will only work for four years", so the long-term planning and future development of Chinese football are not for him to consider, he only needs to bet on the Olympics. Following the example of his predecessor Yan Shiduo, Yan Shiduo made a successful bet on the World Cup, and he also hoped that the bet on the Olympics would be successful.

Unexpectedly, the laws of football that he ignored gave him a slap in the face - there is no shortage of gamblers in the football world, but those are gamblers who know the rules of the game, what are you doing with a stupid old hat who doesn't even know the rules of the game?

The man said goodbye to the Olympics, scored a point, scored a goal, and made new history. The Football Association now has one last fig leaf, that is, the women's football team, which was once praised to the sky and is now in a similar situation to the Chinese men's football team, they have come out of the group stage and faced the Japanese women's football team in the quarterfinals. In the past, the Chinese women's football team did not take the Japanese team seriously at all, but now the Japanese women's football team is also a strong opponent for them. It's not that the Japanese women's football team has improved, but that the Chinese women's football team has regressed.

The media is still turning over old accounts, but Xie Yalong is stubborn and puts the blame on head coach Dujkovic, claiming that the poor performance of the National Olympics is because Dujkovic does not know how to train. This sparked a wave of condemnation in the media and online.

Everyone said that it was so funny here, how could Dujkovic, one of the top ten coaches selected by the FIFA Technical Committee at the World Cup in Germany, not know how to train? Not to mention that before the competition, you Xie Yalong completely deprived others of their command, whether it is the arrangement of troops or the selection of players, it is all up to the Football Association, what responsibility do people have?

※※※ The domestic mess has nothing to do with Chu Zhongtian, and now that the National Olympic Games are over, his attention to the Olympics is much lower. The first round is now just two days away.

In addition, some Chinese media originally planned to hype up the "Chinese derby" in the Bundesliga after the failure of the National Olympics, so that fans could divert their interest. What did they think of their wishful thinking to make Cottages head coach Bojan. Prashnika (bojan_prasnikar) was beaten to pieces.

In the squad for this game announced a day in advance, Shao Jiayi's name was not among them at all.

Without one side, the "Chinese Derby" cannot be played.

However, the Chinese media are not discouraged, because without Shao Jiayi, there is also Chu Zhongtian, who is determined to play the main force in Hoffenheim!

Hoffenheim was mentioned in an article on the outlook for the new Bundesliga season in a newspaper, and he was quite resentful of domestic football: "The new Bundesliga season is about to begin, but Hoffenheim, who was very new to us before, is destined to become the home team of Chinese fans in the new season." Why? Because after the Chinese Olympic team's humiliating loss of the Olympic gamble, only Chu Zhongtian can bring us a trace of comfort, I don't dare to say 'hope', because it is impossible for a Chu Zhongtian to bring any hope to Chinese football. So please enjoy his games in the Bundesliga, remember, just watch it, don't expect ......"

There has been no media mention of Hoffenheim and Chinese football: "...... If Hoffenheim can survive relegation this season, Dietmar. Mr. Hope should first thank the Chinese Football Association, because it was their two decisions that single-handedly created Hoffenheim today.

Originally, Rangnick had just resigned from Schalke 04, and he received invitations from many clubs, including Hoffenheim, but what everyone didn't know was that he also received an invitation from the Chinese Football Association at that time, and Rangnick himself expressed interest in coaching the Chinese Olympic team, and said that personal treatment was easy to say, and he was willing to sign. However, the Chinese Football Association did not choose Rangnick, but chose the more obedient Dujkovic. If the Chinese Football Association had chosen Rangnick, there might not have been Hoffenheim with a two-year triple jump.

Another thing is that the Football Association did not select Chu Zhongtian into the national Olympic team, which helped Chu Zhongtian train with the team in Austria without interference throughout July, adapt to the team, and increase the tacit understanding with his teammates. If Chu Zhongtian performs well at Hoffenheim in the new season, then it must be because the Football Association has wisely given him so much time...... So thank God Xie Yalong, the leadership team of the Chinese Football Association headed by Xie Yalong, you are really the most selfless and helpful person in the world! ”
