Chapter 2 The Difference Between Chinese Football and European Football

In Utrecht, the players of the Chinese national youth team have deepened their understanding of "how much attention and welcome is glory in Europe."

Every training class in which the Chinese team is open to the outside world is filled with reporters.

Among these journalists is a large number of foreign journalists.

Obviously, they all came to report on glory.

However, most players of the national youth team do not feel jealous. On the contrary, this is actually a good thing for them.

Although these people are looking for glory, if they perform well in training, will they also give them a little more attention to themselves?

If you perform well in the game, can you also benefit from glory, be favored by European media, or even attract the attention of European teams?

A glory is equivalent to an advertisement for everyone in the National Youth Team.

Therefore, the members of the National Youth Team also performed extra hard during training.

Except for one person - Dong Zhuofang.

Dong Zhuofang's attitude in training is relatively lazy. He has always been like this, and it was like this before Rongguang came to the team. After Rongguang came, he did not seem to feel a sense of crisis.

He plays a similar position as Rongguang. Logically speaking, they should be competitors, and he should work hard.

But perhaps Dong Zhuofang felt that the team could not play single striker tactics, so he must have a position.

Compete with Rongguang for the main position? He didn't think about it, but competing with Gao Lin for the starting forward position should not be a problem.

As the only two foreign players in the team, would I be allowed to sit on the bench if I didn’t start? Then why should I participate in the World Youth Championship?

I am the best scorer in the second half. It is impossible for me to not even start in the National Youth Team, right?

Dong Zhuofang has such confidence.

Below the glory, I am the most awesome

Seeing that the first group stage of the World Youth Championship is approaching, Dong Zhuofang has no sense of crisis at all.

He looked down on those players who played football in China, and even more so on those who could not play football in China and could only come to Germany for training! Players.

With two days left before the first game against Turkey, Clauchen drafted the starting lineup for the Chinese team. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the starting lineup that everyone will see in the game.

As the team leader, Feng Mingjian also saw the list, and then he asked: "Why is there no Xiao Dong?"

Clauchen shook his head: "Because he does not meet my requirements, his competitive and physical condition are not up to standard."

"But... he is one of the only two overseas players in the team, with outstanding strength. We should try our best to start players with outstanding strength..." Compared to Rongguang, Dong Zhuo is the player that the Football Association really values, because he is a person who is truly from the Chinese football system. Compared with Rongguang's wild path, he will naturally be regarded as "his own person" by the Football Association.

Crowchen didn't care about that: "No, Feng, you were wrong. Arrange the starting lineup not to see who is stronger, but to see who is in better shape. Dong is in poor condition and cannot let him play. Moreover, you have also seen the football team plays now, and it has very high requirements for speed, so Dong will definitely not be able to keep up."

Feng Mingjian felt that this statement was wrong: "Little Dong Ke attracted Manchester United's attention because of his fast speed. Why do you say he can't keep up?"

"I'm not talking about his running speed, I'm talking about his playing speed. The speed of entering the game state, the speed of passing and controlling the ball in the game, and the control of the rhythm of the game, he can't do it. If he appears, there will be a slow in the unified fast, which will disrupt our overall rhythm. So he can't start."

"If he can't start, then what are we doing to call him into the team?" Feng Mingjian was annoyed by Clauchen's stubbornness.

"I don't know he would be like this either." Crowchen spread his hands.

Feng Mingjian was so choked that he couldn't speak.

But he was also making excuses.

Because from a technical and tactical perspective, he said he would not beat Clauchen, and he had to admit that Clauchen was right.

It’s not that he can’t see Dong Zhuofang’s problem, it’s just... Sometimes, the problem of Chinese football is not just a problem of football.

He finally found an excuse: "But Dong Zhuofang has a very high popularity among domestic fans and media, almost no less than glory. If you don't let him start, what will the media and fans think? It would be fine if you win the game, but if you lose..."

This is not the first time that Clauchen has dealt with Feng Mingjian. Training is here | For half a year, the two have been constantly clashing and colliding. How could he not know what Feng Mingjian wants to say?

So he immediately said firmly: "I said that if I lose the game, I will take full responsibility and I will quit voluntarily. Just like what I said when I recruited Rong."

"I hope you don't joke about Chinese football, Clauchen."

"I never joke about football." Crowchen said firmly and did not allow any of them.

Feng Mingjian looked at the stubborn old man and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Because he knew very well that if the Chinese team failed in the World Youth Championship, it would definitely not be possible for Clauchen to resign... As an insider of the Football Association, he knew the Football Association's ability and style of work very well.

If the Chinese team fails, then Clauchen's stubbornness will be the best...excusation. The Football Association is good at finding scapegoats, which is similar to the English media.

Thinking of this, Feng Mingjian suddenly felt a little sorry for the old man. Feng Mingjian is also a professional. He could see that many of Clauchen's actions were right, but Clauchen was confronting the Football Association... it is a bureaucratic organization, and there are many things in it. It is not that you must be right if you do the right thing.

As the Chinese team leader, he had a lot of friction with Clauchen in the process of cooperation, but in fact, they never clashed because Feng Mingjian had to represent the voice of the Football Association in this team.

The Football Association confirmed that Crowchen had a conflict in the round, especially after they no longer wanted to continue to cooperate with Crowchen.

This stubborn old man Clauchen is still fantasizing about the good results he has led the Chinese National Youth Team and then being able to be handsome and make the team continue to prepare for the 26th Olympics?

Then he was really dreaming.

Feng Mingjian, who knows the inside story, thinks this in his heart. The ending of some things is destined from the beginning.

Feng Mingjian was also helpless about this. But as a person within the system, he was powerless even if he wanted to change.

As the first game approaches, everyone's attention to the World Youth Championship is getting higher and higher.

CCTV also specially opened a new column called "Tulip Football", which provides detailed reports on the preparations of the Chinese National Youth Team in sports news at 6 pm every day.

The day before the competition, they broadcast a video of Rongguang being interviewed by reporters.

In the interview, Rongguang talked about the World Youth Championship.

If you only read his interview, you will definitely not believe that Rongguang had no idea about the World Youth Championship before.

This is naturally Debola's credit. After receiving the news of the interview, Debola specially collected all the information about this World Youth Championship for Honor, so that he could make up for it so that he would not ask during the interview: "What is the World Youth Championship?" Such an idiotic question...

Rongguang showed his confidence in front of Chinese fans, which made many fans look forward to the prospects of the Chinese national youth team in this World Youth Championship.

As the most famous star in this World Youth Championship, Rongguang should not disappoint them, right?

※※※

Then the first round of the World Youth Championship of the Chinese team came...

June 10th is the opening match of the World Youth Championship, with Benin from Africa dating Australia from Oceania in Coclyde.

Then, as the first team in Asia, Japan welcomed the host Netherlands on the same field.

They eventually lost by 2.

On this day, the players of the Chinese National Youth Team were gathered to watch the game between the Japanese and Dutch teams in the hotel conference room.

In Asian football, Japan has always been an imaginary enemy of Chinese football - no matter how strong they are, Japan is an eternal enemy. Especially after losing to Japan in the Asian Cup final at home, he just lost to Japan in the Asian Cup final at home

Japan is the best-level and strongest among young football in Asia.

But they both lost to the Netherlands.

This made the Football Association leaders who followed the team to supervise the battles showed a little nervous expression on their faces.

The second day of the Chinese team's opponent Türkiye is the runner-up of the European Youth Championship

After the game, the two leaders mobilized the Chinese players with great Chinese characteristics before the game.

Clauchen sat next to him with a gloomy face - he hated these things very much, but as the head coach of the Chinese team, he had to endure these things. This made him feel very uncomfortable.

The first speech was Xie Longya, the newly appointed full-time vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association. Just like his predecessor Yan Duoshi likes pre-match mobilization, Xie Longya also continued this tradition.

And even the contents said are no different from the style of the ex.

What is "The Chinese Youth Team has no other way out. If you want to qualify in the group, you must fight for your opponents"? What is "You must be worthy of yourself and don't leave regrets for the World Youth Championship"? And so on, there is not much newness.

Compared to Xie Longya's lyrics, Cui Linda's mobilization was a bit exciting.

"Young guys, like Kaka of AC Milan, in the Champions League final, you must have the spirit of not admitting defeat."

Rongguang has never watched the Champions League final so far. I wonder why Kaka refused to admit defeat at the last moment... But is this Kaka's sissy style?

Rongguang couldn't help but wander a little.

Cui Linda's mobilization continues: "...We must learn from the Chinese women's volleyball team and women's network, and fight tenaciously in the game."

However, he is not only good at saying these big words. He still mentioned very practical issues: "There are many Turks living in Udrecht, and a large number of Turkish fans will definitely appear on the scene in the game. During the game, the team must overcome the unfavorable factors of the stadium and adjust their mentality. In addition, do not complain to each other. We must firmly obey the arrangements of the head coach and resolutely stop the occurrence of disunity."

Speaking of this, he pointed to head coach Crowchen.

I signaled that the person was the head coach and everyone should listen to him.

Clauchen smiled back.

And Rongguang was almost asleep...

What a boring pre-war mobilization.

He thought so in his heart.

This is his first time participating in the pre-war mobilization of national teams.

It's completely different from the club team.

In the club, the coaches will say something very practical, such as bonuses, holidays... This is what everyone cares about the most...

What kind of women's volleyball spirit, women's network spirit... I don't know, how to learn it

Rongguang complained silently.
