Fox in the Penalty Area

It has been three weeks since the Chinese team qualified for the World Cup, and the aftermath is still there.

You can see more and more international players on TV, on the Internet, and in various outdoor advertising columns. Advertisements where they endorse a certain brand or a certain product are everywhere.

The Chinese football, which everyone shouted like a rat crossing the street, has suddenly become a favorite of everyone.

But too much is too much.

After everyone was bombarded by the false smiles of the Chinese footballers in the advertisements, some different voices appeared in the public opinion, and they began to criticize the current situation.

Critics believe that the Chinese players now have a mentality, as if they have achieved great success, it is time to drink celebration wine, sleep on the credit book, and enjoy the sweet rewards.

As for next year's World Cup...don't care!

This is not a good thing for Chinese football.

In fact, reaching the World Cup finals is just the beginning, and it should never be the end.

In addition, some international players may have been hungry for a long time and are not picky eaters. As long as they are paid, they will accept any advertisement and do any endorsement. caused some negative effects.

This led to a reversal of public opinion.

Under such circumstances, "Hulai Forest" seems to have become a landmark event.

Public opinion launched a heated discussion on this matter, many media rushed to report, and finally the national media set the tone:

"As a football star, Hu Lai not only has outstanding skills, but also has the responsibility of being a star. Hu Lai has set a good example for all of us how a star fulfills his social responsibilities. At the same time It is also thought-provoking to do practical things instead of trying to make a name for yourself—what is needed in today's society is someone like Hu Lai who is so dedicated to doing practical things!"

After setting the tone, the enthusiasm for the international players to concentrate on accepting advertising endorsements has gradually faded.

After people were initially happy for the Chinese team to enter the World Cup finals, they are now beginning to realize that it is useless to just be happy to enter the World Cup.

What needs to be considered now is what we can do in the World Cup.

If it's just a shame to go to the World Cup, then it's better not to go to the World Cup.

And the primary factor that determines the performance of the Chinese team in the World Cup is naturally... who is responsible for leading the Chinese team to the World Cup.

So now there are some voices that think that the Football Association should carefully consider the issue of the head coach of the Chinese team.

Some people will feel confused-isn't the head coach of the Chinese team Shi Wuyin? They have led the team to the World Cup, why should they carefully consider the head coach candidate, let him continue to coach and it will be over?

Some people really don't think so.

Although Shi Wuyin led the team to qualify for the World Cup, they believe that at Shi Wuyin's level, being able to do this is the limit.

In other words, they feel that Shi Wuyin's level is "Asian level", and it is okay to play against Asian teams. But if you go to the World Cup and play against teams from all over the world, you will be powerless.

Therefore, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the Chinese team in the World Cup, the Football Association should consider changing the coach. Change to a famous marshal who is higher than Shi Wuyin in both fame and level.

Don't look at Shi Wuyin as the meritorious coach who led the Chinese team to the World Cup, but this kind of statement is still very marketable.

After all, from an objective point of view, whether it is prestige, fame or level of strength, Shi Wuyin must not be able to compare with those world famous coaches.

Those who hold this point of view do not feel that they are denying Shi Wuyin's level. They recognize Shi Wuyin's contribution and achievements in this World Cup qualifier, but they feel that Shi Wuyin's level is not enough for the future of the Chinese team.

This is like sending a satellite into orbit, requiring one, two, and three stages of rockets. The first-stage rocket is responsible for launching the rocket carrying the satellite. When it reaches a certain height and the fuel of the first-stage rocket is exhausted, it will automatically disengage, and the second-stage rocket will ignite and continue to propel the flight.

In the end, the satellite can successfully reach the predetermined orbit, which is the result of the joint efforts of the three-stage rocket, and any one-stage rocket is indispensable.

For the Chinese team, Shi Wuyin is like a first-tier rocket. His mission has been completed, the fuel is exhausted, and there is no way to continue to accompany the Chinese team to go on, so a coaching change is also logical.

People who hold this point of view use this as an example to repeatedly emphasize that they definitely do not look down on Shi Wuyan, nor do they mistrust Shi Wuyan. Just for the good of Chinese football, this is the best choice.

The reason why Shi Wuyin was chosen for the coaching change in the middle of the World Preliminaries was also because Yang Shuai didn't know enough about the Chinese team when he changed coaches at the time. After taking over halfway, it may not be able to perform better than Shi Wuji. So choosing Shi Wuyin to coach the team at that time was the best choice.

And now, the Chinese team is still half a year away from the World Cup finals, which is enough for Yang Shuai to gradually get familiar with and understand the Chinese team. High-level coaches can bring about radical changes to the Chinese team in half a year, and the Chinese team can perform better when it comes to the World Cup finals.

"Shit!"

After hearing the views that Uncle Yong relayed to him, Hu Lai scolded with contempt.

After the official launch of the "Hu Lai Forest" project, Yong Jun also finished all his domestic work, including the various commercial endorsements of Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan and Wang Guangwei.

Now he has returned to Leeds and returned to Hou Lai to take care of his daily life.

At the same time, it also brought him the current domestic hot topic:

The debate about who will lead the Chinese team to participate in the World Cup for the first time in history.

Hu Lai is very dismissive of those who think that they should be coached by a more famous and stronger foreign coach.

"Hey, there are quite a few people in the football circle who hold this point of view, famous writers, experts..." Yong Jun said with a half-smile.

"Bullshit experts. Let me tell you Uncle Yong. These so-called experts study this and that all day long, and they speak clearly and logically. They know the latest developments in international football, the direction of tactical development, and so on. All kinds of data and professional vocabulary come out of their mouths... ...But they are actually a group of people with broken brains." Hu Lai pursed his lips, still speaking in a very disdainful tone.

"How do you say it? 'There is a group of legal professionals in our country who study the law all day long. After studying and studying, they have lost their humanity and become a legal machine'. Now it is the same with these football experts. , one competition and one major, but they have lost the most basic human emotions, and they don’t even understand the human heart. Who doesn’t know that the famous coach has a higher level of guidance than Shi? We all know it. But the problem is that the famous coach comes It must be suitable for us, so we will definitely let us listen to him? Director Shi worked so hard to bring us to the World Cup, and now we go in, turn around and kick him, what is this? Kill the donkey! There is such a thing Is it your son? In this way, who is willing to work hard for you?"

"All right, all right, don't get excited, Hu Lai. I'm just telling you my current point of view. It doesn't mean that the Football Association will definitely adopt this point of view..." Seeing Hu Lai's words getting more and more excited, Yong Jun hurriedly Persuade.

Hu Lai snorted: "Didn't you say that this year is the tenth year of the Football Association's deepening reform? Just through this incident, we can see how the deepening reform has changed in the past ten years. It has really changed fundamentally. The concept is still the same as before, with a bureaucratic atmosphere, laymen directing experts...just look at it through this incident."

Hearing what he said, Yong Jun jokingly joked: "Then what would you do if Shi Wuyin really changed? Could it be possible to strike out and not play in the World Cup?"

Hu Lai shook his head: "Of course not. The World Cup is not for Shi to play alone. But Uncle Yong, once the blood cools down, it will be difficult to warm up..."

Yong Jun didn't expect Hu Lai to give such an answer, and he suddenly became a little frightened——if a passionate person like Hu Lai loses his heart, what a terrible sight it would be.

Originally, he just wanted to make some jokes to ease Hu Lai's mood. But I didn't expect Hu Lai to give a very serious answer...

He also became nervous, hoping that the Football Association will not lose the chain this time-in the matter of the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team has not lost the chain, whether it is the coaching staff or the players. So now it is the turn of the governing body of the national team not to lose the chain.

As leaders, the consequences of their losing the chain are very terrible. Not only will they bury the good situation that Chinese football has finally won, but it is also very likely to bury the future of Chinese football.

"...I don't think reaching the World Cup finals is the fulfillment of the historical mission. Because just reaching the World Cup is not enough. Participating in the World Cup should not be the goal we pursue, but the process we must go through. To score What to do after the World Cup is the most important thing. Some people may regard the World Cup as the only chance to gild themselves in their lives, and some people may regard the World Cup as a good opportunity to earn fame and money... These are normal, people It's normal. But such a person is not conducive to our overall football career..."

Shi Wuyin stood at the front of the meeting room, talking to a room full of leaders, experts, and celebrities, with the PPT he made behind him.

"If the Football Association chooses to let me continue to coach this team to play in the World Cup, then I may consider letting more young players join the team, so that they can experience the charm of the World Cup and encourage them to continue to work hard. These young players will continue to work hard. Once we hit the World Cup, we may become a new force in the national team, just like Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai, Wang Guangwei and Lin Zhiyuan this time.

"This may lead to ups and downs in the team's performance in the World Cup, or even unsatisfactory results. But I think compared with the final results of the first World Cup, whether we can participate in each World Cup stably in the future will be the most important factor." is the most important."

When Shi Wuyin saw someone raise his hand, he stopped and motioned for the other person to ask a question with his eyes.

The person who raised his hand said: "Xiao Shi, I understand your thoughts. But we are also doing what we are doing to cultivate new forces and expand the talent base, but it is not the task that the national team should shoulder. As the highest representative of a country's football level, the national team Going to the World Cup stage to show real kung fu is what should be done."

"Yes, Mr. Huang, you are right." Shi Wuyin was very respectful to the gray-haired Chinese football star, but he didn't say a word. "But the situation of Chinese football is different from that of other countries. We have our own special features. For those countries that have been able to participate in every World Cup, they should send the strongest lineup. But for us participating in the World Cup for the first time, I think In fact, the national team also shoulders the task of sowing seeds. It is like passing the torch. After our group of people ignites the torch, we must ensure that the torch will not go out so that it can be handed over to those who come later. Let talented and gifted young people Participating more in the World Cup will help inspire their dreams, and at the same time let them see the future direction clearly, and work hard for this goal, so as to drive more people to join in..."

Another person raised his hand, and Shi Wuyin immediately shut up and waited for the other person to ask questions.

"Guide Shi, I understand what you mean, but if our results in the World Cup are not satisfactory, and in the end it is just a feather in the ground, how can we encourage more people to pursue their dreams? After all, in competitive sports, the results are the final decision. I think that only good results can really arouse everyone's enthusiasm for football... For example, if we didn't have good results in the world preliminaries, how can so many people pay attention to football in society now?" asked the person who raised his hand.

"Guide Feng, you are right. Results are king. But the problem is that with the current strength of the Chinese team, it is really difficult for us to achieve any decent results in the World Cup next year." Shi Wuyin spread his hands.

His words caused an uproar in the conference room, and everyone was a little surprised by his statement so firmly.

Shi Wuzhen ignored these reactions and continued: "This world preliminaries has exposed this problem - Wilson's national team had no problems with personnel before. All the players he picked were from their respective Chinese Super League teams. The main players have experienced many years of tempering in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League. Can't win..."

Seeing that the leaders and experts in the conference room couldn't help whispering, Shi Wuyin continued:

"Yao Huasheng and Hao De are all over 30 years old, and they are still the pillars of the national team. Qin Lin, who retired last year, was still very competitive in the Chinese Super League until his retirement. This aspect certainly shows Qin Lin's strength. Self-discipline and strength, but doesn’t it also mean that we have no latecomers to make up for it? In the age group of 25 to 30, it should have been our Mesozoic players who became the main force of the national team, but in fact it is this world In the preliminaries, we rely on veterans over 30 years old and young players under 25 years old, and the Mesozoic has disappeared."

The discussion was much quieter, and everyone's faces were a little serious.

"Of course, their disappearance has nothing to do with themselves. It is the influence of the overall environment of our Chinese football - when they grew up, it happened to be the darkest and most chaotic era of Chinese football. The players who came out of that environment, the level It is conceivable. I am not belittling them. Football is a sport of what causes and what results. The tragedy of their entire generation of players is the tragedy of Chinese football. It is just that they are the main players. If they go to the World Cup, the results will be better. It will definitely not be better, and this kind of badness is meaningless bad. Except for bad results, we will leave nothing after going to the World Cup. If this is the case, why not let more people who have grown up after the reform Young players go to the World Cup, let them accumulate experience and gain knowledge..."

Having said that, Shi Wuyin pressed the mouse, and the PPT on the projection screen behind him changed to a picture, which was a mass of black ashes, but if you look carefully, you can still find red starlight through the seemingly burnt ashes .

"As the Chinese team participating in the World Cup for the first time, in fact, no matter what we do, the results will not be very good. Because we are still far from the average level of world football, let alone the advanced level. But if we Under the ashes of failure, there is still warmth, and only a gust of wind blows can rekindle the flame. Then such a failure is meaningful.”

Then he pressed the mouse again, and a new picture appeared on the projection screen.

It was an aerial photo of the forest on the edge of the desert. The nearby forest was lush and green, which not only blocked the yellow desert in the distance, but also moved forward in some places, advancing into the depths of the desert.

"Some time ago, Hu Lai cooperated with the local government of Tongqi Yala Mengyou Banner to start a public welfare project. The specific content is to plant trees. This picture appeared at their launching ceremony. The press conference said it was The future planning of the project is the effect of connecting with other surrounding sand prevention forests. After this incident came out, someone went to the project site and took such a photo..."

An aerial photo appeared next to the "rendering picture". It can be seen that except for some small saplings that have just been inserted, the picture is full of large areas of yellowish brown, which is what the desert itself looks like.

It is far from the greenery in the effect picture.

"Looking at it now, it looks like two completely different worlds from the 'effect picture'. But every place is like this at the beginning of desertification control, and the same is true before the Umaulu Desert is wiped out." Shi Wuyin pointed behind him screen.

"Some people say that the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now. Ten years ago, Chinese football launched a reform and planted a batch of small saplings. Ten years later, we relied on these small saplings to harvest the first ever World Cup qualification. We have seen the benefits of planting trees, but is this the end? Of course not, I think it is time for us to plant another batch of saplings for the next decade. Those of us who planted saplings with our own hands People may not be able to enjoy the coolness covered by big trees, but some people will definitely benefit in the future. At that time, they will remember that we planted these trees. I think this is enough. And this is not ten years Was it the original intention of the former policymakers to start deepening reforms and plant the first saplings?"

"The above is my work report as the head coach of the Chinese national team."

After finishing speaking, Shi Wuyin bowed slightly.

The people in the conference room stopped talking and whispering. Many of them looked up at the two pictures on the projection screen.

The yellow sand and soil on the right is the present, and the green trees on the left are the future.

When Shi Wuyin bowed, straightened his body and looked up, he saw someone in the crowd looking at him at a glance.

That was because of his idea of ​​"predecessors plant trees and future generations enjoy the shade" and he was chosen to be the head coach of the Olympic team.

He was still a deputy at that time, but now he is a full-time job.

After noticing Shi Wuyin's gaze, he smiled and nodded.
