Fox in the Penalty Area

"We've been interviewing for several days, what do you think of what Director Hu said?"

In the car, Lin Xueyi asked the photographers who worked with him.

After everyone looked at each other, one of the youngest photographers said:

"I think... Director Hu is a bit too idealistic."

Lin Xueyi signaled him to continue.

He went on:

"Actually, the concepts of Director Hu are not new. In our country, there have been debates about the concept of youth training. It is not only Director Hu who insists on doing this in China, but many people are under pressure. , In the end, he couldn’t stick to it. He said that primary school should not look at the grades, but how could it be possible not to look at the grades? Even the districts and counties in every city have corresponding leagues. Since there are leagues, there must be rankings and grades. So why do you ask those schools not to pursue grades? Unless all elementary school competitions are cancelled, then the fans will say again, there are very few youth football competitions in China, how can they grow without playing games...

"As long as you play games, you will definitely have requirements for grades. After all, grades are the only criterion for assessing a coach's level-you say you are good, who knows? Leading the team to play games is a mess, how can you convince the crowd? So I think Director Hu also It is because he is Hu Lai's father that the school tolerates him so much, and if he is replaced by an ordinary coach, get out of class will be dismissed long ago..."

Another photographer retorted: "But I think Director Hu is right. When elementary school students blindly pursue a winning style of play, the end result is that our players have been crooked from the very beginning. Long balls and lobs are also It’s just that it’s easy to win at a young age, and it’s really not going to work when you get older. And it’s not good for the growth of personal golf quotient and skills..."

"You're right." The first photographer said, "I didn't say that Director Hu's insistence was wrong. I just said that the general environment is such that everyone pursues results. If you can't produce results, you What you insist on is right, and you may be forced to give up. Director Hu can withstand the pressure because he is Hu Lai's father. What about the others? Now that the general environment cannot be changed for the time being, Director Hu and the others still have to come up with Only with good grades can we convince everyone to take this path, otherwise...it will still be difficult."

Everyone knew that what he said was reasonable. After they interviewed Hu Lixin that day, they were also moved by Hu Lixin's ideals, but after two days of calming down, they were still a little discouraged when they thought about the current situation.

The status quo is like this, what can Hu Lixin change?

Even in the Nancheng Primary School under his control, aren't there students whose parents don't understand?

They stayed in the school team not because they really accepted Hu Lixin's theory, but because they wanted to take advantage of Hu Lai's popularity.

Hu Lixin used his son's fame to make an exquisite box to package his pearl of children's football training philosophy.

But everyone just wants to get the box and put the pearl aside.

Everyone originally thought that the future of Chinese football should be getting better and better when the national team has reached the World Cup finals for two consecutive years. But now they feel that the future is not as bright as they thought...

"This is indeed a very real problem." Lin Xueyi said, "If you don't have results, you can't convince others to believe in your theory. But if you stick to this theory, it is difficult to win at this stage... It seems to be a vicious circle. So this is The reason why we came to the second station for the interview... has arrived."

As he said "Here we are", the commercial vehicle slowly slowed down on the side of the road until it finally stopped.

A gate covered with banners appeared before their eyes.

"Congratulations to Hu Lai, Xia Xiaoyu and Luo Kai, alumni of our school, for helping the Chinese national team enter the World Cup for two consecutive times!"

"Chinese football goes from here to the world!"

"Congratulations to Hu Lai, alumnus of our school, for making history!"

"Warm congratulations to Li Qingqing, an alumnus of our school, for winning the Champions League for two consecutive times!"

"Welcome to Dongchuan Middle School, a national football demonstration high school!"

Lin Xueyi stood in the stands of the football field of Dongchuan Middle School.

The stadium in front of him is different from what he saw in the video shot by Deputy Editor-in-Chief Sun ten years ago.

There was originally a wall opposite the main stand, but now that wall is gone, and it has been converted into a small stand with a total of five rows of seats.

There is a small door under the stands, which leads to the outside of the school——going out of the small door is the road outside.

A gate is set up here to let the social personnel outside the school pass through.

As Dongchuan Middle School became more and more famous, more and more people came from all over to observe the school's training and competitions.

Some people even posted on the Internet about their experience of "pilgrimage" to Dongchuan Middle School. The response was very enthusiastic, and many fans from other places expressed their envy and hatred.

In the past, these enthusiastic fans could only gather at the campus gate, which affected the normal teaching order and increased safety hazards.

So later, Dongchuan Middle School simply took advantage of the opportunity of building a new stand, opened a door on the side of the stadium, and separated the teaching area from the stadium area.

When there is a game to be played on the school field on weekends, the gate connecting the stadium to the teaching area is locked, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the teaching area through this door.

Just like now, the door leading to the teaching area under the main stand is locked tightly.

Everyone has to go in and out of that little door.

However, such restrictions cannot limit the enthusiasm of fans who come to watch the game.

Both the main stand and the opposite stand were almost full of people.

The atmosphere at the scene was very warm.

Lin Xueyi and the others have been filming and interviewing this school for two days. During the daily school team training, there are actually many people who come to watch, but they are all students from Dongchuan Middle School.

They have seen the passion that the students of this school have for football.

Now they have seen the influence of the Dongchuan Middle School football team spread outside the campus.

A friendly match between two high schools can attract so many people to fill the stadium stands. Lin Xueyi thought of the neighboring country Japan, which developed campus football earlier and better than China.

He feels that China's campus football culture has finally lost its shadow.

Two photographers were shooting the game on the sidelines, and one photographer was taking pictures of Li Ziqiang in front of the coaches of Dongchuan Middle School. After all, he was the protagonist of the trip to Dongchuan Middle School.

There is also a photographer who shoots and conducts random interviews in the stands.

And Lin Xueyi mixed among ordinary fans, eavesdropped on their discussions, and understood ordinary people's thoughts from outside the camera.

The game on the field is coming to an end, and the focus of discussion in the stands has shifted from the game itself to other aspects.

"The players from Dongchuan Middle School are awesome. Maybe they will regain the national championship next year?"

"Then I don't expect it. There is only one champion. There are so many schools across the country participating... As long as they can perform at their normal level, I'm satisfied..."

"That's great, that's great... No wonder there are so many schools that produce international players. Look at his spirit, it's really different!"

"Coach Li taught well!"

"That's not right! You don't even look at who he is, Li Qingqing's father! Li Qingqing was taught by him alone, can you do it if you are not good enough?"

"Yeah, hey... You say, this is the blessing accumulated by the ancestors for many generations... A small Dongchuan Middle School has produced four international players!"

Unlike the parents of students in Nancheng Primary School who were secretly dissatisfied with Hu Lixin, it seems that Li Ziqiang's work has been recognized and supported by the vast majority of people.

But Lin Xueyi had done his homework before he came, otherwise he would really have thought that Li Ziqiang's approval rate was so high.

In fact, in the past few years, Dongchuan Middle School was suppressed by Jiaxiang High School in Jincheng... It missed the national competition for three consecutive years, and those three years were when Jiaxiang High School was in full swing. Because at that time, Jiaxiang High School had a talented central defender named "Qin Qi".

Later, Dongchuan Middle School regained its qualification to represent Anton Province in the national competition, and it was also because Qin Qi left Jiaxiang High School.

So maybe the person who praised Li Ziqiang's level in the stands now scolded Li Ziqiang's team in the same place a few years ago for not being able to beat Jincheng's Jiaxiang High School...

From elementary school football to high school football, it's hard to say "winning doesn't matter" anymore.

Because going from high school football to professional football is just one step away, winning does matter.

The Dongchuan Middle School football team finally defeated the visiting Dongchuan No. 5 Middle School football team at their home court.

After the game, players from both sides lined up to shake hands, and then walked to the opposing coach's bench together, and bowed to the opposing head coach.

There were cheers and applause from the audience in the stands.

The atmosphere was warm like a match between China and Second Division.

You must know that although China B is the lowest level of the Chinese professional football system, it is also a professional game.

When the fans in the stands left the stadium one after another through the small gate, and the opponent players also took the school bus to leave, the players of Dongchuan Middle School had already entered the locker room to shower and change. It is decorated and designed according to the standard, and there are many facilities that should be there.

Heating, air conditioning, hot water, multimedia screens, tactical boards, etc... These conditions are much better than those of Hu Lai and the others.

After the players took a shower, Lin Xueyi walked into the locker room with the coaching staff of Dongchuan Middle School.

Topless players are playing around.

They looked very excited after just winning.

However, this excitement gradually disappeared after seeing the head coach.

Because their head coach is black-faced...

"What should I do? I'll just say a few words."

Seeing that everyone had stopped what they were doing, Li Ziqiang waved his hands.

So it was time for the players to change clothes and change clothes, but the relaxed atmosphere before was clearly gone.

Lin Xueyi found a corner and began to observe and look forward to the next thing.

Cameramen have installed machines in the locker room ahead of time - in places where the players don't know - so they can record the most authentic reactions of everyone.

Why is the head coach unhappy when he wins the game?

What will happen in the locker room of this high school team that has produced many international players?

ps, there are two shifts starting today, but it won't be long before the shifts. Let me know in advance that I will take the child out to play on July 20th. He has made up half a month of lessons, so he has to be taken to relax. We didn't take him with us when we went to western Sichuan last year, and we had a lot of opinions, so we decided to take him to Jiuzhaigou and Lianbaoyeze this year.

Estimated to be a week.

So when the time comes, I will definitely have to renew my life alone...

I'm so sorry!
