Chapter 298: It's Better Than ...... (10000)

As soon as the report of the Football Weekly came out, public opinion reversed.

People have interview photos and a statement signed by Rongguang, which doesn't look like a fake interview.

Before, the fans were still scolding Glory for being ungrateful, ungrateful, traitorous and traitor.

Now after seeing the report of "Football Weekly", everyone's emotions have calmed down, and they found that they were too excited at first, and they believed it when they heard some gossip and did not ask for verification.

The result is now a slap in the face by the Football Weekly report......

Rongguang didn't say that he was not interested in joining the national team, so that's good!

In this summer's Asian Cup, everyone is still waiting for him to wear the Chinese team's jersey at home and help the Chinese team win the championship trophy!

Although the strength of the national team this year is also very strong, wouldn't it be better to be a little stronger?

This is the common sentiment of almost all Chinese fans.

At the same time, many readers scolded "Sports Weekly".

Some readers who were originally "Sports Weekly" gave up their subscription to "Sports Weekly" because of this.

"Sports Weekly" reacted quickly.

In Friday's issue of the newspaper, a clarification announcement and a letter of apology were published.

In the announcement and apology letter, they said that the reporter in front did not fully hear Rongguang's answer, and that an immediate mistake occurred.

They have issued a warning to the front journalist and in the event of a repeat offence, they will revoke the front reporter's ability to continue to be based in Germany.

They welcome the supervision of the readers, and sincerely ask for the understanding of Glory and Debolar.

Dao Lu apologized quickly, and his attitude was correct.

But whether it's sincere or not, I don't know how to do it......

"Sports Weekly" has not had a scandal like this before. Their reporter took a photo with the superstar and dared to write his own interview with the superstar.

The best thing to do is to "look at the picture and talk", and in front of a photo, you can conjure the inner words of the star in the photo.

So it's hard to say how much gold their apologies have.

Moreover, in the same issue of the newspaper, they made a "sincere" apology to Rongguang on the front page, and in the internal version, they stood on the opposite side of Rongguang.

In the special edition of domestic football, Zhang Wendong, deputy editor-in-chief of "Sports Weekly" and said to have someone in the Football Association and the national team, wrote 2,000 words in a free way.

From all angles, the Chinese Football Association has not contacted Glory so far.

At this time, they didn't say that Rongguang was not interested in the national team, and they changed it to the endorsement of the Chinese Football Association.

Anyway, Rongguang did not join the national team, even if it is not Rongguang's responsibility, it is certainly not the responsibility of the Football Association.

There are rumors that "Sports Weekly" is the public relations media of the Chinese Football Association, which seems to be true.

In Zhang Wendong's article, he explained to everyone from the perspective of an insider why the Chinese Football Association has not recruited Glory for a long time.

“…… As we all know, as a member of the national team, first of all he must be a registered player of the country's Football Federation. So in order for Rongguang to join the Chinese national team, he must be a player registered with the Chinese Football Association. But Glory is not registered with the Football Association now. Registration must be carried out by the local football association or club, but Rongguang is not affiliated with any local football association or local club...... He didn't even play in a sports school or a football school, he started his football career directly in Brazil...... If he does not apply for registration, the Chinese Football Association will not be able to unilaterally register him...... As far as I know, neither Rongguang himself nor his agent has submitted an application for registration to the Football Association......"

Of course, this definitely does not represent Rong Guang himself. Rongguang is not interested in making it to the national team. Based on what we know about Rongguang's past, he is a person who doesn't know much about football itself, so I believe he must not know that Lu Dao still has to register with the Chinese Football Association. But as Glory's agent, Miss Debora should play such a role. Even if she is Brazilian, she should actively understand China's rules. Then remind the glory. As an economic man, Miss Debora was a bit derelict in her duties......"

"So is it true that Rongguang took the initiative to submit a registration application and passed, can he become a member of the national team? In fact, it's not that simple. We all know that Alihan's national team has been formed into a very effective team after a long run-in. As a national team, this team has reached maturity, and the Asian Cup in the summer is when they will reap the fruits. There is still half a year to go, and the Asian Cup is about to start, and the team's tactics and lineup have been run-in. If a new player is suddenly added at this time who has never worked with the team before, it is not a good thing for the national team to prepare. After several warm-up matches and many training camps, everything that had been done before had to be overturned and started over. The national team can't afford to delay this time. ”

"Some fans said that Glory can start as a substitute first, as the team's wonder soldier. But with such a good performance, is it reasonable not to let him play the main team? Inexcusable. Let him be a substitute, and Alihan will face endless questions from reporters and fans - why don't you let Glory start? It's the same problem Heathfield had at Bayern Munich. Putting him in the starting line, the tactics are ruined and the team needs to find a new way......"

"Of course, each of us does not deny that Rong Guangzheng is the most outstanding player among the foreign players who are currently studying abroad, and with his strength, he is definitely qualified to enter the Chinese team. If it is said that his strength can be ranked in the top ten among China's active players, I am afraid that not many people will object. But here I must remind readers and fans that it does not mean that the strongest player must be recruited into the national team, and he will definitely be a member of the national team. Sometimes, when a player improves into the national team, it is not just based on strength, but also needs to be considered by the head coach holistically, whether it is selected or not, there are reasons for the head coach. I'll give you one of the most famous examples: before the start of the 1998 World Cup in France, the head coach of the French team, Jacques, refused to recruit Eric Cantona, the soul of French football who was at the heart of Manchester United at the time.

At the time, his decision caused an uproar among the French media and fans. Day in and day out, the French press continues to criticize Jacquet, and every decision he makes will be considered stupid. The French fans also scolded Jacques to the core.

Many have asserted that France would never have been able to achieve decent results on home soil without Cantona.

But the result? Under the leadership of new core Zinedine Zidane, the French team won the historic World Cup on home soil, their only World World Championship. After beating the mighty defending champion Brazil 3-0 in the final, the French media collectively apologized to Jacquet, but Jacques did not forgive them......

Look, what a similar situation. It was also an important tournament held in his own home country, and the same players who were highly requested by fans and the media were not selected for the national team...... But in the end, the French team won the championship. Jacques stuck to what he was supposed to hold on to as a head coach, and he was rewarded handsomely. In the professional world, no one knows it better than the manager, so it's dangerous to dictate......"

Molly showed this article from Sports Weekly to Glory. At the same time, he also gave a copy of his own translated version for Debora to see.

"They compared you to Cantona, Alihan to Jacay, and the Chinese team to the French team." Molly laughed at that.

In her opinion, "Sports Weekly" must have been instructed by the Chinese Football Association to publish such an article.

The taste of exculpating the Football Association in the article is obvious. Of course, the reasons are also very convincing.

Jacques knew the result of Cantona's rejection at the time, and the whole French media thought he was crazy, and French fans didn't know how many times he cursed him.

But the result?

France won the championship. A new French flag was born.

In reality, though, there are still big problems.

The glory should be Zidane, because he is young, and Zidane is younger than Cantona. If you want to renew the generation, it should also be a new generation to replace the old generation, how can the new generation make way for the old generation?

However, Zhang Wendong's article can still scare many people.

Because, at first glance, it really makes sense.

"It's looking for a step for the Football Association, so I think ...... You will never be able to participate in the Asian Cup. Molly said this, there is a little regret - she actually hopes to see Rongguang wear the jersey of the Chinese national team and fight at home.

But reason told her that if Rongguang did enter the national team, it would not really be a good thing for him and the team.

Let's not talk about the many factions in the national team.

Let's just say that if the Chinese team doesn't win the championship after the last round, then the glory of forcibly squeezing on the last train will definitely become a scapegoat. He lost because he upset the team's already mature tactical system, and he lost because he made the team's dressing room lose its peace...... Wait a minute. Molly can imagine. What Zhang Wendong wrote in the article will turn into a reason to attack Glory.

Based on Molly's understanding of Rongguang, he knows that he is actually a very simple person, and he must not have a deep enough understanding of the darkness of Chinese football. If he had a pure heart and returned to China to participate in the competition, but in the end, he was used to rent a scapegoat, it must have hurt him deeply.

Maybe it will make him lose the motivation and interest to play for the Chinese team.

Molly really didn't want that to happen.

That is definitely a lose-lose tragedy for Chinese football and glory.

"Can't play in the Asian Cup on home soil?" Debora frowned when she heard this.

She had some regrets.

If we can participate in the Asian Cup held in China, it will be a great opportunity to open up the Chinese market. Appearing in front of China's 1.2 billion people, the effect of this advertisement and media interview is even better.

Molly nodded, and did not explain in detail that she would definitely not be able to participate in any glory - she didn't want outsiders to know about the dirty things in Chinese football. She still has the traditional idea that "family ugliness should not be publicized".

Rongguang looks quite open, or he still doesn't have the idea of desperately wanting to play for the national team in his heart. He doesn't think there's anything to regret about missing a tournament like the Asian Cup on his doorstep – he doesn't have any idea about it right now.
