Reborn on Top of Football

Next, His Majesty also met and shook hands with key players such as Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang to encourage them. For all players, Beckenbauer is a living legend, a figure of the same level as the ball king Bailey and Maradona. Not to mention the young Tubingen players who are mingling in the amateur league, even the big Daluo and others who are now in the limelight are also excited to see Beckenbauer.

There are so many professional players in China, how many can see Beckenbauer? How many have talked, shook hands, and been encouraged? The thought of Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang fainted. Just as the senior fans are the ones who know the technical level of professional players best and the ones they admire the most, the real professional players know how powerful a legend like Beckenbauer is.

Next, Beckenbauer visited the club, football stadium, business district, training ground, youth training center in turn. These are the procedures agreed in advance by the German Football Association and the Tubingen Club. Beckenbauer's arrival is not only a signal to the outside world, but also an inspection. The senior officials of the German Football Association are a little curious about how much the Chinese factor accounts for the good results of this team, and how to achieve this.

Thanks to the persistent German conversation for more than half a year, Mr. Gimbos accompanied Beckenbauer all the way, and the two post-40s talked very lively. Compared to Beckenbauer's huge achievements, Xu Genbao's achievements seem bleak, growing up in China, a country with a weak football base, limiting the upper limit for the growth of all players. No matter how good you are, you will not even have the opportunity to set foot on the world's highest stage, and naturally you will not be included in the history of world football. But if you compare them from your current status, both Xu Genbao and Beckenbauer feel that they have many common languages. Although Beckenbauer led the team to win the Bundesliga championship, the Ligue 1 championship, the World Cup runner-up, and the championship, the team's results are brilliant. But Xu Genbao also has an amazing record: he led three teams to win the league championship, even if two of them were Chinese teams and one was a German amateur team.

Xu Genbao is one year older than Beckenbauer. Compared to Tubingen youths in the post-70s and post-80s who are all over the land, they still have a common language. Although they were active in the 1970s, although almost all Xu Genbao watched Beckenbauer play on TV, but they were very happy at the same age and common career. Beckenbauer was also the first generation of contemporary footballers in the Far East. Accepting the compliments of the same generation of footballers made him feel more fulfilled than being called "Your Majesty" by Wang Ai and Leoni.

"Kimbos, what made you come to Germany to coach?" Beckenbauer walked loosely on the training ground after getting away from the camera, looking at Xu Genbao quite curiously, even if he knew about Chinese football Not enough, he can also understand that the income of the German amateur league coaches cannot be compared with the income of China's top league coaches.

"Franz, what made you stop being the head coach?" Xu Genbao laughed. "My reason is the same as you."

Beckenbauer laughed and said with emotion: "After retiring from the national team, I became the coach of the national team, Bayern and Marseille, and all got the honor they deserve. The head coach is too tired, I have to worry about everything, and then I also lost my interest in continuing to be a coach. There isn't much to pursue. So I went to become the chairman of the Bayern club and the vice chairman of the Football Association. From players, coaches to football officials, because The older you get, the worse your physical fitness, but the more things your mind thinks about, the higher you want to work for a bigger goal. "

"Yeah, we are all old, and we have to change roles. Originally, I had enough head coach in China and opened a football school. Oh, similar to your youth training center. Later, investors in Tubingen invited I come to coach and start a coaching career in Germany, a football powerhouse. I think this will help me to better understand the football level and strong reasons of the football powerhouse, so while studying, investigating, and exploring the secrets of the unknown world "Xu Genbao smiled.

"So, is there an answer?"

Xu Genbao nodded and sighed: "Although your population is only one-tenth of ours, your hardware foundation is too solid. I only knew in Tubingen that in this city of 80,000 people, There are ten free stadiums. In China, especially in recent years, the citizens have almost no free football stadiums. We have a huge population but we do n’t have enough football population. Oh, that Wang Ai is the world The absolute core of the young champion, he was in 1987, and he participated in the National Junior Team in 1984. Do you know why? "

"Is it because he is very, very good? I watched the video of the finals of the World Junior Games last year. He is really one of the best people of his age. If we have such outstanding young players in Germany, We can also ignore age disadvantages. "

"No, dear Franz!" Xu Genbao solemnly said, "The biggest reason for his selection is not that he is excellent, but that the team has only 30 players in the country that can be selected, and has to choose from the lower age group. "

"What?" Beckenbauer looked at Xu Genbao in shock. "30?"

In the eyes of Beckenbauer's foreigners who do not know much about China, 1.3 billion people are simply a sea of ​​people. Generally, the most direct impression of foreigners with poor mathematics scores is 1.3 billion. concept.

So they always blindly think that China has endless genius, just as they think that the Chinese market has endless consumption power and purchasing power.

Beckenbauer took a moment to breathe out, patted Xu Genbao's shoulder. Only then did he truly understand the situation of Xu Genbao, a Chinese footballer of his age. Xu Genbao need not say anything. The fact that there are only 30 registered athletes in a country is enough to show what kind of environment Chinese football is in. It is simply a barren land. Let this large and backward football country mobilize and be excited Getting up is an impossible task. It took more than a century of accumulation in German football to have today, but Chinese football has just started.

At this moment, Beckenbauer seemed to see the ancient gods of German football: also in the wild of football, equally ambitious and ambitious, and also fighting the chaotic situation, also with good planning.

Equally great!
