Golden Greenery

Zhuo Yang came to Chairman Mullen's office, and Uncle Klopp was also here. When Chairman Mullen and Klopp saw him coming in, they both had strange expressions on their faces, inexplicable and mysterious.

what's the situation? Zhuo Yang transformed into a monk with two feet. When he took a look at the fax sent by Sylvia, he immediately became a monk with two feet four.

The fax is in Chinese and English, and the content is roughly as follows: Hannover Madiburg Football Club would like to inform your club player Zhuo Yang that he will come to Kunming Haigeng Football Training Base in China from February 12, 2004 to April 28, 2004. Participated in the training camp of the Chinese U19 youth football team. The player is expected to attend on time and will not be absent without excuse.

Signed: Chinese Football Association

what's the situation? What the hell is going on?

Let’s not talk about what this U19 is, what the hell is this two and a half month training camp?

Zhuo Yang looked at Chairman Malen and Uncle Zha with a puzzled look in his eyes and Yunshan's fog, asking them to help analyze it, only to find that these two people had always had this expression.

What has actually happened? Let’s start with the current head of the Chinese Football Association, King Yan.

Frankly speaking, Yama is considered a man of action among the previous leaders of the Football Association. It was during his tenure that Chinese football achieved its only breakthrough in Asia. Although everyone is saying that the first reason for qualifying for the World Cup was that South Korea and Japan, as hosts, did not need to participate in the qualifiers, which allowed the Chinese team to step in without the two strong players of South Korea and Japan. Furthermore, because Zhang Jilong, who is the executive committee member of the AFC, did a good job in drawing lots, the Chinese team did not draw two powerful enemies in West Asia, Saudi Arabia and Iran. The Chinese team only entered the 2002 World Cup because of this thrust and thrust, which was very smooth.

In fact, this view is somewhat biased. Throughout the history of Chinese football’s failed attempts at success, there has never been a failure due to losses to the top four of South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Iran. The obstacles have always been Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Yemen, Iraq, Uzbekistan, and even Thailand. , second- and third-rate teams like Hong Kong. The Chinese team under Milutinovic achieved success precisely because they maintained a stable winning rate against these second- and third-rate teams - the so-called winning games that should be won.

For the extremely controversial Milutinovic, the King of Hell is the staunchest supporter behind him. When the media questioned whether Milutin was worthy of his reputation, when Hao Dapao and other top players attacked Milutin, when superior leaders followed suit and blamed him, it was the King of Hell who supported Milutin without hesitation and forcibly retained the Yugoslavs whose coaching position was in jeopardy. . Only then did the whole country rejoice on October 7, 2001, and Shenyang Wulihe Stadium became famous in the history of Chinese football.

That national team was not the best, at least it was far from the staff of Qi Wusheng's team four years ago. Milu was not the best head coach, but he was the most suitable head coach for the Chinese team at that time. A not-the-best head coach led a not-the-best team to achieve the best results. All this is because of the best full-time vice president of the Football Association above.

The King of Hell is also an idealist. He likes to do practical things and do practical work. He is not good at being an official, but is more suitable for learning. Since he joined the Chinese Football Association in 2000, he has seen the darkness inside. These ten years before and after were the worst ten years for Chinese football.

Chinese football during this period was so bad that I won’t go into details or give examples here. During this period, there is no clean person in Chinese football from top to bottom, no team is clean, and no player dares to pat his chest and say he is innocent. The fans are impetuous, the media confuses right and wrong, youth training age is faked, and elementary school students are playing match-fixing.

When the King of Hell was faced with this rotten mess, he was disgusted with it and shouted out strong words such as 'Kill without mercy, behead with determination', 'In troubled times, heavy rules are used', 'To correct the situation will inevitably lead to overcorrecting', but nothing happened. Shrouded in disappointment, the idealist chose the only thing left to do - the national team. With his persistence, the Chinese team also achieved the most perfect results in terms of its abilities.

After the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, Milutinovic resigned and was replaced by Dutchman Ali Han. At this time, the perfectionist King Yama who fulfilled his wish became the boss and no longer took care of the specific affairs within the Football Association. Feeling powerless, he just wanted to escape from this place. The affairs of the Chinese Football Association were controlled by several internal department heads.

These people who are making trouble within the Chinese Football Association are divided into two types. In addition to the common points that they do not understand football and do not care about world football information, one type of people has an extremely keen political sense. This type of people have sensed that the dissatisfaction of the country's upper echelons with football is about to reach its limit, and the storm is about to come, and dark clouds are beginning to overwhelm them. They just want to escape from this circle of right and wrong as soon as possible to avoid being splashed with blood in the future. These people don't care about the work at hand and just want to escape, including the King of Hell.

There is also a group of people who are intoxicated by the huge benefits brought by the national football craze. They cannot see the future or the road under their feet at all. They only see the power and interests in front of them. They are keen on fighting for power in the Football Association and grabbing classes. They don't care at all about the sustainable development of Chinese football, the changes in world football, and the hopeful stars of Chinese football. Among these people were Nan Wang and Yang Ye who were later imprisoned, as well as the subsequent Dragon King. But these people, and their subordinates who are even worse than them, completely control everything about Chinese football during this period.

In the more than half a year since Zhuoyang became popular in China, the media has been all over the place. But because Zhuoyang has always been outside the Chinese football circle, there is no one with strong words to recommend him, so no matter how hot the media is, Zhuoyang's name cannot enter the door of the Chinese Football Association.

In the past six months, at every regular press conference of the Chinese Football Association, a reporter asked Zhuo Yang a question, but the Crab Soldier Shrimp General sent by the Football Association perfunctory the media and went out and forgot about it. No one bothered to mention it when he returned. In this way, Zhuoyang was forgotten in the "desert" of Europe by the Chinese Football Association.

Later, after repeated questioning by the media, the Football Association staff finally conveyed the information to his leader, who said: Oh, I understand. Nothing further.

During the Spring Festival, "Sports Weekly" Cheng Hao published an article about Zhuo Yang's teammates suggesting that he become a German citizen and join the German national team, which caused an uproar in the country. Now, the media are a bit reluctant and will not give up until they get an explanation. As a result, Zhuo Yang's problem attracted the attention of some leaders.

Unfortunately, the Chinese national team has not had any competition duties recently because it is the host country and does not need to participate in the qualifiers of the 2004 Asian Cup held in China. What's more, the selection criteria of the national team during that period had very distinctive characteristics.

Ability is of course the most basic level, but the floating range of "ability" is very large. Once you have the ability, you need to have a background, people, and very powerful people in your circle. Then, you have to have money. In those years, the quotas for national teams at all levels were clearly marked, from the main roster to the warm-up matches, from substitutes to main players, just like Thai massage, the various grades were clear at a glance.

What happened back then was revealed to the world more than ten years later, and it was no secret at all. The starting price is 300,000. Every time you take a step forward, the price is like a broken taxi meter, and the numbers will make you jump with fear.
