Chapter 329: Recruit disciples

The Asian Cup competition system has also been changing. This year, four teams in the preliminaries will determine eight places, and then they will be divided into two groups with China and Singapore, and then two teams will be determined to advance to the semi-finals and start the knockout rounds.
The Chinese team was assigned to Group A. The opponents in the same group are: Kuwait, South Korea, Iran, and India.
Obviously, the strength of Group B is weaker. The United Arab Emirates and Qatar are not as strong as Syria before they apprentice, and Saudi Arabia is considered a strong team in Asia.
But for China and Singapore, there is actually no difference between the strengths and weaknesses of the groups, because in the eyes of the former, they are all weak teams, and in the eyes of the latter, they are all strong teams.
Ye Yuqi and the sports leaders did not put pressure on the players before the game, and did not speak much mandarin after the meeting, but they secretly indicated that Li Fenglou and other football associations are here. This time the Asian Cup is not hidden. The Chinese team not only To win, you have to be merciless, just like Arsenal playing Manchester United.
Well, now even Asian teams are beginning to use Manchester United as a losing indicator. I don't know if Manchester United fans will cry when they know it.
Of course, Li Fenglou and others dare not have any opinions, but they are still complaining: Since they want to fight to the death, why not let some players be recalled from Europe?
It doesn't matter if those superstars don't transfer back, but Gu Guangming and Zhao Dayu can always be called back, right?
But they didn't want to think that Wu Jie and others would come back to the game, and the team would not dare to complain no matter how unhappy, because no one can replace it.
However, if players such as Gu Guangming and Zhao Dayu are always called back, then people should consider whether to find substitutes, because players of this level can be replaced.
Of course, these issues will not be discussed, because subordinates cannot refute their superiors.
These officials of the Football Association were full of air when facing the players, but they were all conscientious in the face of these co-drivers from the body. It can be seen that when Wu Jiegang passed through, he thought of his father as the brother of the Football Association. It was a naive thing.
After the Chinese team’s coaching staff received the order to "fight hard", they did not frown, because this is not a difficult task. In fact, they wanted to do it a long time ago.
It just so happened that the first game of the group stage was the printing degree, and the starting forwards sent by the Chinese team were Ma Lin and Zhang Anhong.
22-year-old Marin has not entered the national team for the first time, but 20-year-old Zhang Anhong has entered the national team for the first time.
This man was discovered by Wu Jie very early. It was basically Liu Haiguang's technically enhanced version, but he was worse in physical confrontation, explosive power, and headers. His physical talent was only three-star, but his skills were really good.
But this kind of player has Liu Haiguang and Chen Jingang, naturally it is difficult to occupy a position. This Chinese team does not need a high-tech center with insufficient skills.
The coaching staff of the Chinese team thinks that he can replace Chen Jingang in the future, but when I think of the outrageously talented Yang Shuhua in the youth team, and Wu Jie’s younger brother, who will be out in a few years, Zhang Anhong is afraid that he will not be able to squeeze into the first team. Up.
Many young players like the Chinese team in embarrassing situations have emerged in the past two years.
They are better than Chen Jingang's players in terms of talent, but they are a lot worse than the new generation of geniuses, so they are doomed to be difficult to join the national team in the competition.
This can be regarded as a side effect of Wu Jie's secretly using the system to tap geniuses. Of course, this side effect is a good thing, because after all, true geniuses are very few. Chinese football can only truly become a football power with a sufficient number of such outstanding players.
Players like Zhang Anhong are not bad, even if they go to the four major leagues, they can mix positions in the relegation team. If they go to the middle and lower teams in the Eredivisie, French Ligue, and Belgium leagues, it will be a starting problem. Not big.
There are not too many players like Wu Jie at all, and the more the better.
In addition, although these players are in an awkward situation in the national team, they are unlikely to do much in Europe.
But in Asia, especially in Asia in the 1980s, they are really big brothers.
And like this kind of Asian star level, you can be a core player in Japan and South Korea. Now this Chinese national team is everywhere, because you can't even get into the third team if you don't reach this level.
Let's put it this way, even if players from the second and third teams are selected to form a team, there are still few rivals in Asia.
Faced with such a Chinese team, the Indian team naturally ended up not much worse than in 62 years.
"I also want to go to Europe to make a lot of money!"
When Zhang Anhong appeared on the stage, his thoughts were very pragmatic.
He didn't ask Wu Jie and other big brothers to dominate in Europe, they knew they didn't have that talent.
But it may not be impossible to get ahead in Europe like Liu Haiguang and Zhao Dayu, even if they are playing in the second division like Chen Jingang and Shen Xiangfu.
Moreover, even if they play in the second division, they can earn a salary they can't imagine in a year.
Wei Xinghua, the 19-year-old winger who has been pressured by Ren Zhihui to breathe, has the same thought in his heart.
Before Ren Zhihui went to the Netherlands, no one noticed him, a genius who was not inferior to that of Gu Guangming. Now it is his turn to show his talents.
Tan Haishan looked at his partner Zhu Bo, the Bayi defender who had just been replaced by Cui Yonghua, who will soon be replaced by him. He wants to prove that he is no worse than Cui Yonghua and Jia Xiu and that he can also play in Italy.
Li Huajun bowed his head and kissed the five-star red flag on his jersey before entering the field. He didn't know that he had been working hard, but why he was repeatedly rejected by the national team.
Gu Guangming's state is indeed very good, but he is more confident than Shen Xiangfu, but he is not included in the national team list every time.
He knew that he was no longer young, and now the young geniuses jumped out one by one. If he could not seize this last chance, he might never have the chance to wear this jersey.
There are also Ma Lin, Wu Qunli, Wang Dongning, Lu Hongxiang, Chi Minghua, Fu Yubin...the old people of these national teams also have the idea of ​​going to Europe to play football. Today, there are indeed a large number of European scouts coming to China to pan for gold.
They dare not come, how many geniuses have China produced in the past few years?
Who dares to say that this time the Asian Cup will not have another Wu Jie II?
They all know that Wu Jie became famous through the Asian Cup, so this tournament has also received the attention of European teams. This is called not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha.
The calculations in the hearts of these teams are very simple. Even if there are no monsters like Wu Jie, if they can produce Chen Haonan and Lin Yaodong, that is the cornerstone that can be used for a lifetime!
At this time, even Manchester United, who had just become a European joke, also dispatched the chief scout to discover Chinese geniuses. This is called "learning from the barbarians to control barbarians".
But the result was a bit overwhelming. Why do these Chinese players seem to be geniuses?
Just like that Li Huajun, this Chinese winger turned the entire right corridor into his own back garden from the beginning of the game. His violent emergency stop and high-speed change of direction all made European scouts look bright. .
Especially after seeing the 21-year-old on Li Huajun's data, although this performance is still a bit worse than Ren Zhihui's, if he can play in Europe, do you have to ask?
The Manchester United scout directly gave a three-star evaluation. He believes that Li Huajun will never be worse than Gu Guangming, but the age of the two is five years behind. This means that Li Huajun's potential is far stronger than Gu Guangming. Bright.
Many German scouts have taken a fancy to Zhang Anhong, and they now trust the high center produced in China very much.
Strictly speaking, Wu Jie is also a high center forward. Liu Haiguang and Chen Jingang performed well in their respective teams. This is their source of confidence.
This Zhang Anhong is astonishingly 192cm tall, and his weight seems a little lighter, but this is not a big problem because of his age. What is really rare is that his technique at his feet is not as rough as a traditional high center forward, and his mobility is also very flexible.
If you add the excellent headers of the Chinese center forward, this player's potential is definitely better than Liu Haiguang and the South Korean Che Fangen.
Soon, Wei Xinghua on the left also declared this corridor his own.
This 19-year-old genius, who has been suppressed by Ren Zhihui, has a physical talent that has reached half a three-star level. He has excellent explosiveness and speed. In the first half, he even performed Wu Jie's handball over + outside line forcibly overtaking, and he was undoubtedly a lot of The team is watching.
The Indian players felt an illusion of being ignored. Although the Chinese team had 6 goals in the first half, it cannot be said that the Chinese team does not value them.
But the Indian players on the field still have a feeling of being despised and ignored, because this is their most annoying and sensitive feeling, and they will never be mistaken.
This is indeed true, because these Chinese players do not regard them as opponents.
Today they are not playing games against the Indian team as they are playing games for European scouts on the spot.
This is actually a bit helpless and even sad for Chinese football because it can't retain talent.
But this is also inevitable in the historical stage. It is inevitable for China to look to money after stepping out of the planned economy. This is the case for scientific researchers, and athletes are no exception. After all, everyone has to live, feed, and live. The more capable people are These requirements are higher.
Therefore, this situation cannot be avoided in 30 to 40 years. Only when the country’s economy develops to a certain scale, there is only waiting for Huawei, Alibaba and Tencent, which cannot count two hands in the country, and only waiting for the income of the Chinese Super League to reach the level of the five major leagues. You can easily keep the talents in the country, otherwise you really think that talents are willing to suffer discrimination in foreign countries. If there are some elections, who doesn't want to return to China to show their talents!
But now Chen Jingang and Shen Xiangfu have spent two or three years in the Bundesliga, which is an astronomical figure for most Chinese.
If this situation does not take advantage of some restrictions, such as prohibiting players under the age of 25 from going abroad to play, then the domestic league will not be able to run at all.
For the Indian team, today is indeed a total humiliation, because the Chinese players not only did not treat them as opponents, but almost did not treat them as human beings.
Of course, not many people see the truth, and Indian players just have a feeling of being ignored.
The worst thing is that they didn't know that their weak chickens created an illusion that would confuse European scouts, which was an indirect assist for Chinese players.
In the second half, Zhang Anhong, Wei Xinghua, Li Huajun, and Wang Dongning were undoubtedly the most dazzling players on the field, but all thanks to the great foil of Indian players, they have maintained their 62-year level as always.
Take Zhang Anhong as an example. He is enough to replace Chen Jingang, but the upper limit is definitely not as good as Liu Haiguang. The reason is that the confrontation ability is insufficient, the explosive power and speed are not fast enough. This is a high skill that focuses on agility and technology. Center.
However, Indian players don't think so. They think Zhang Anhong is a tactical center when they see Zhang Anhong's height, so they sent a tall defender who is good at defending high-altitude to target.
The Indian defender is also over 1.9 meters tall and weighs over 90 kilograms, but he is not strong and puffy. The ability to move makes Zhang Anhong laugh out loud.
The most painful thing is that this person is not even good at confrontation ability. The Indian players have not exercised their core muscles at all, and they are still stuck in the primitive stage of only looking at height and weight.
Zhang Anhong is naturally very comfortable facing this kind of opponent. The silly big guy on the opposite side is a stupid bear in front of him. This makes him flexible and agile, and his outstanding characteristics of dribbling can be used to the fullest. He even played a bull's tail when he was on the rise Exceeding people and riding a bicycle, this really doesn't treat the opponent as a person at all.
But these flowers made the European scouts on the scene very excited. Many people even gave the low-profile version of Wu Jie's evaluation. The ghost knows if he drank the Ganges water brought by the Indian players from China.
The Chinese coaching staff knows that Zhang Anhong’s magical performance is mainly based on the premise that his opponents are too weak. He faced Cui Yonghua and Jia Xiuquan in internal training, and he could not play these tricks. To break is to be surrounded, otherwise why can't even Chen Jingang be squeezed down, because it is flashy!
Most of the other players in this Chinese team have the same reason. Wei Xinghua and Li Huajun are both three-and-a-half-star physical talents. They have no advantage in their explosiveness and speed when they reach the League. Even with the excellent skills they have developed in China. Just barely mixed a starter in the league relegation team, after all, the skills of the league players are not really that bad.
But at this moment, facing the Indian defenders, their breakthroughs on the wing seem to be more incomprehensible than Ren Zhihui. All kinds of show operations are completely casual, and the opponents can't give them any pressure.
Wang Dongning, a tank-type all-round player, was unable to rush in the World Cup at first, but he was able to show invincible confrontation ability against Indian players. Those seemingly strong Indian players have no qualified dynamic confrontation ability at all, even if they have a physical ratio. Wang Dongning is stronger and basically free.
This Shandong man rushed around the whole audience, and he was basically in a mess wherever he went, he was crazy!
Tan Haishan and Zhu Bo, the middle defense line, also performed impeccably.
The Indian players' clumsy technique and stupid play style, facing the defense line tortured by Wu Jie and Chen Haonan, it was as accurate as Meituan is hungry.
These European scouts also know that the Asian teams are very good except for China, but they are still confused by the outstanding Chinese players in front of them. How can they be seen as all geniuses?
Li Fenglou is naturally the happiest. He knows that after this Asian Cup, he will definitely have a lot of dollars to make a fortune.
But he didn't know that the physique is about to introduce the age limit for going abroad. These are the last players who can go abroad at will. Starting next year, if you want to go abroad before the age of 25, you must meet the genius clause.
The final score was very worthy of the level of the two sides. An 11:0 sweep made the Indians seem to be back in 1962, and the two sides perfectly staged a classic veteran that "reappears yesterday".
Zhang Anhong completed a hat-trick in this game. Wei Xinghua, Li Huajun, Wang Dongning and Wu Qunli each scored one goal. Another forward, Ma Lin, scored three goals in silence.
In fact, it is Marlin who has the highest human size limit. His physical talent was originally only two and a half stars, so as long as the intensity of the game is high, it will limit his performance.
But Marin's physical talent has long been promoted by Wu Jie to a three-star half level. At this time, coupled with excellent running position and ability to grab points, as well as more superb shooting skills, his template is obviously Lineker or Inzaghi This type of shooter is likely to replace Zhao Dayu in the next few years.
After the Chinese team swept India and made a good start, the second battle faced the old opponent South Korea.
This time it was not so easy. After being taught repeatedly by them a few years ago, these guys started to learn how to play the Chinese team.
Of course, Bangzi also wanted to study in China, but they have no money!
Of the few disciples of the Chinese team, which one is not spending money like earth, and which one is not rich enough?
Although there are several chaebols in this club, it would be a shame to compare themselves with the local tyrants in the Middle East in the 1980s.
Therefore, the poor stick can only face the video by himself, and explore the painful memories by himself.
But they don’t have the advanced training methods provided by Wu Jie, and they don’t have the correct guidance of a trio like a teacher. The most important thing is that Chinese football has a natural institutional advantage...
These things cannot be imitated at all, and it is of course difficult to achieve any results in self-study. At present, there are some achievements in the easiest physical ability to train, but not only in terms of skills and tactics, there are no results, but because of the side effects caused by the de-miaos.
The Chinese team has an absolute advantage in tactics, technology, and physicality. After finding out the details of the three tricks of the stick, it quickly gained the advantage.
But the final score of 4:0 also shows that no matter how unbearable the South League is, it is still a lot better than the third brother, at least not to play with fat.
If it weren't for Fu Yubin's outstanding performance in front of goal, Nan Bang would even have a chance to score.
But it is a pity that this high-value goalkeeper did not give the stick any chance. Their only few threatening shots were all resolved by Fu Yubin's high resistance. The third goalkeeper of the Chinese team finally began to gain attention.
In the third game, the Chinese team once again met the big disciple Kuwait.
This big apprentice has been ranked second in Asia in recent years, but this position is a bit unstable. After all, it is a small country with a limited population. The key is that the Kuwaiti royal family does not care about youth training and lower-level construction, which makes Kuwait Football is bound to be troubled by the lack of success.
If it weren't for the advantage of the earliest apprenticeship, they have been receiving the world's top training in the past few years, playing the highest level of warm-up matches in Asia, and they have been squeezed out of the top Asian teams like the Hong Kong team.
The Chinese team also feels that the difficulty of playing Kuwait is actually less than playing the South League, but the final score of 2:1 made the big disciple a lot of face, because it was already a pity to lose.
Li Fenglou is very satisfied with this result. Although it is stated above that we should open up the fight, of course this kind of big customer should be treated differently. Otherwise, a 5:0 will be kicked out. Doesn't it mean that you spend millions of dollars in tuition a year? Isn’t the result as good as that of Nan Bang’s self-study?
Therefore, for all teams that have paid tuition, regardless of the fact that they have not learned the true skills, they at least have to let the family score a goal, and the scene must be able to pass through, so that they can achieve a long life.
Not to mention, the Kuwaiti royal family is very satisfied with the process and results of this war, and even shouted that the tuition of several million this year is too worthwhile, otherwise Japan and South Korea will end up!
The last opponent of the Chinese team in the group stage is Iran, which has always wanted to go to China to apprentice but has no time for him because of the ongoing war.
But the Chinese team said: No matter what reason you have, since you didn't come to pay for your teacher, then I can only fight hard.
The talents of Iranian players undoubtedly surpass Kuwait by a lot, but due to the war, it is difficult to have a superior training environment like Kuwait, and the game experience is also seriously insufficient.
In the end, a 6-0 defeat made the Kuwaiti royal family have no complaints about the tuition fees that will be raised next year, because as the Chinese themselves said, "The price increase is because my ranking has risen again." The reason is sensible and reasonable, but it's a bit unwilling.
But don't say that Kuwait didn't learn anything. It's not surprising that the Chinese team qualified with a complete victory, but the competition for second place is very fierce.
The Kuwaiti are inferior to South Korea in terms of hard power, and even worse to Iran, but they eventually grabbed another spot, relying on their tactics and experience to lead.
These two advantages, coupled with the referee's favoritism, are enough to make the difference in hard power negligible.
As for whether "tactics and experience" or "referee" plays a greater role, you only need to look at the "three disciples" Qatar and Saudi Arabia, the "four disciples" who will be apprentices in Group B.
What, you said that the UAE, as the second brother, was eliminated?
The reason here is not that China’s teaching is not effective, but that the level of these UAE players is really poor. Besides, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are not outsiders. This belongs to the internal grievances of the division.
There is a key word here, Saudi Arabia is about to apprentice, that is, it has not yet apprentice!
So in the semifinals, the Chinese team used a cruel 7:0 to quickly make Saudi Arabia's determination to apprentice.
The Saudi lords have received the news, and the Japanese have also come to the door with a generous apprenticeship.
If they fall behind, what if the Chinese team accepts the Japanese first and no longer accepts apprentices for the time being?
Wu Jie felt that it was a pity that the improved Dongfeng 3 would not be in service until 1986, otherwise it would have made billions in advance.
However, this matter has nothing to do with "sports", the appetite for the body is not so big, and their requirements for "apprenticeship" are the same.
The big apprentice Kuwait first used investment to build a large-scale comprehensive stadium for China. Later, the second brother UAE and the third brother Qatar all learned the same, and they also used the investment method to build a large-scale stadium in cooperation with a Chinese company. .
Now Japan and Saudi Arabia also use this method to apprentice teachers. This means that in a few years China will build five modern large-scale comprehensive stadiums in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
These five stadiums are very important. In the future, with these five new stadiums, plus the original venues, China will be enough to host the Asian Games, the Asian Cup, and even most of the venues for the Olympics and World Cups, and even for the future. The domestic football league is also a great help.
Of course, these foundations will be the same as the big brothers. When the stadium is completed, it will enjoy the income share for the next 20 years.
But like Kuwait, the UAE, and Qatar, Japan and Saudi Arabia will also sign a statement in advance to donate these income to various charities in China, but at least half of it will go to the accounts of the China Sports Foundation.
"Singapore is also rich, don't they want to learn how to play football?"
In the final between the Chinese team and Qatar, the bad old man Li Fenglou looked at the head of the Singapore Football Association not far away, but he was bent on pimping for his team.
Now North, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, even the central city in the southwest will add a new large-scale comprehensive stadium. The next round is also the turn of the central city in the northwest to add one, but I don’t know which country in Asia is willing to contribute. Li Fenglou thinks Singapore’s The head is quite big.
