Chapter 195: Planting trees for posterity

Three weeks have passed 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 advertisements. They endorse a certain brand, a certain product, all advertisements are everywhere.
The Chinese football that everyone shouted and played like a rat crossing the street suddenly became a favorite, with flowers blooming, and cars seeing sweet pastries.
But too much is too late.
When everyone was a little bit tired of the aesthetics bombarded by the false smiles of the Chinese feet in the advertisement, 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're done, it's time to drink the celebration wine, sleep on the merit book, and enjoy the sweet rewards.
As for next year's World Cup... leave it alone!
This is not a good thing for Chinese football.
In fact, reaching the World Cup finals is only the beginning, and definitely should not be the end.
In addition, some international players may be hungry for a long time and are not picky eaters. As long as they give money, they can accept all advertisements and do all endorsements. It has caused some negative effects.
Caused public opinion to start to reverse.
Under such circumstances, the "Hulay Forest" seems to have become a landmark event.
Public opinion launched a lively discussion on this matter, and many media rushed to report it. Finally, the national media set the tone:
"As a football star, Hu Lai has outstanding skills, but also the responsibilities of being a star. How a star fulfills his social responsibilities, Hu Lai has set a good example for all of us. At the same time. The practice of doing real things instead of trying to make a name for themselves is also thought-provoking-in today's society, what is needed is exactly people like Hu Lai who are devoted to real things!"
After this set the tone, the focus of the international footballers on receiving advertising endorsements is slowly fading.
After people were initially happy for the Chinese team to reach the World Cup finals, they are now beginning to realize that just happy to reach the World Cup is useless.
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, it would be 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 this Chinese team to the World Cup.
So now there are some voices that think the Football Association should carefully consider the question of the head coach of the Chinese team.
Some people will feel confused-isn't the head coach of the Chinese team Shi Wuyin? Everyone has led the team to the World Cup. Why should he carefully consider the head coach and let him continue to coach?
Some people really don't think so.
Although Shi Wuyin led the team to qualify for the World Cup, they believe that with Shi Wuyin's level, being able to do this step is the limit.
In other words, they feel that Shi Wuyin's level is "Asian level", and it's 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 not be able to catch it.
Therefore, in order to avoid the shame of the Chinese team in the World Cup, the Football Association should consider a coaching change. Change to a famous marshal who is higher than Shi Wuyin in terms of fame and level.
Regardless of Shi Wuyin is the meritorious coach who led the Chinese team to the World Cup, but this argument is still very marketable.
After all, objectively speaking, whether it is prestige, fame or level of strength, Shi Wuyin certainly can't compare with those world famous coaches.
Those who hold this view do not feel that they are denying Shi Wuyin's level. They acknowledge 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 space orbit, requiring one, two, and three stages of rockets. The first-stage rocket is responsible for launching the rocket carrying the satellite, and when it reaches a certain altitude, after the first-stage rocket runs out of fuel, it will automatically leave, while the second-stage rocket will ignite again and continue to promote the flight.
In the end, the satellite can successfully reach the intended orbit, which is the result of the efforts of the three-stage rockets, and any one-stage rocket is indispensable.
For the Chinese team, Shi Wuyin is like a first-class 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, then the coaching change is also a matter of course.
People who hold this view use this as an example, repeatedly stressing that they definitely do not look down on Shi Wuyin, nor do they distrust Shi Wuyin. Just for the good of Chinese football, this is the best choice.
The reason why he changed his coaches midway through the World Preliminaries and chose Shi Wuyin was also because he changed coaches before the battle. Yang Shuai didn't know enough about the Chinese team, no matter how strong he was, no matter how strong he was. After taking over halfway, it may not be better than performance. So choosing Shi Wuyin to coach the team was the best choice at that time.
And now, the Chinese team is still half a year away from the World Cup finals, enough for Yang Shuai to gradually get acquainted and understand the Chinese team. High-level coaches can bring a radical change to the Chinese team in half a year. Only when the World Cup finals come, the Chinese team can perform better.

"Shit!"
Hu Lai snorted scolding after listening to those points conveyed to him by Uncle Yong.
After the "Hu Lai Forest" project was officially launched, Yong Jun was also busy with all his domestic work, including the various commercial endorsements of Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan and Wang Guangwei.
He has now returned to Leeds and returned to Hulai to take care of his daily life.
At the same time, he also brought him current hot topics in China:
The debate about who will lead the Chinese team to participate in the World Cup for the first time in history.
Hu Lai was very dismissive of those who think he should be coached by a bigger and stronger foreigner.
"Hey, there are many people in football circles who hold this view, famous names, experts..." Yong Jun said with a smile.
"Farshit namekeeping expert. Let me tell you Uncle Yong. These so-called experts study this and that all day long, and they are all right. You know the latest developments in international football, the direction of tactical development, and so on. All kinds of data and professional vocabulary are open... …But they are actually a group of people with broken brains.
Hu Lai curled his lips, still speaking in a disdainful tone.
"Is there a saying? "There is a group of legal professionals in our country who study the law all day long, researching and studying, and researching and studying the human nature. It has become a legal machine." Now it is the same for these football experts. , One professional for each match, but loses the most basic human emotions, and does not even understand the hearts of the people. The famous coach is higher than the coaching level, who doesn't know this? We all know. But the problem is that the famous coach comes. It must be suitable for us, and it must be able to let us listen to him? The guidance took us so hard to take us to the World Cup, and now we went in, turned around and kicked others, what is this? Unload the grievance and kill the donkey! There is such a thing Is it yours? In this way, who is willing to die for you?"
"Yeah, don't get excited, Hu Lai. I'm just telling you the current point of view. It doesn't mean that the Football Association will definitely adopt this kind of opinion..." Seeing Hu Lai's words, Yong Jun became more and more excited. Persuade.
Hu Lai snorted: "Isn't it said that this year is the tenth year of the deepening reform of the Football Association? It happens through this matter to see how the deepening reform of the past ten years has changed. It is really a fundamental change. The concept is still the same as before, with a bureaucratic atmosphere, and the layman commanding the insider... just through this incident can be seen.
Hearing what he said, Yong Jun joked jokingly: "If you really change Shi Wuyin, what are you going to do? Is it 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's hard to think about heat..."
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 had a cold heart, it would be a terrifying sight.
He originally just wanted to make a joke to ease Hu Lai's emotions. But I didn't expect Hu Lai to give a very serious answer...
He also became nervous and hoped that the Football Association will not lose the chain this time-in the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team has not lost the chain, whether it is the coaching staff or the players. So now it's the turn of the national team's management agency not to drop the chain.
As a leader, the consequences of losing the chain are very terrible. Not only will it bury the great situation that Chinese football has finally won, but it is also very likely to bury the future of Chinese football.

"...I don't think that reaching the World Cup finals is fulfilling a historical mission. Because it is not enough to just make it to the World Cup. Participating in the World Cup should not be our goal, but a process we must go through. Reaching What to do after the World Cup is the most important thing. Some people may regard the World Cup as the only opportunity in their lives to plate themselves with gold, and some people will regard the World Cup as a good opportunity to earn fame and money... These are all normal, people It’s normal. But such a person is not conducive to our overall football career..."
Standing at the forefront of the conference room, Shi Wuyin was talking to the leaders, experts, and celebrities of a room, and behind him was a PPT made by him.
"If the Football Association chooses to let me continue to coach this team to play in the World Cup, then I may consider adding more young players to the team, so that they can experience the charm of the World Cup firsthand, and encourage them to continue working hard. These young players are next. When we hit the World Cup once, 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 cause the team's performance in the World Cup to fluctuate or even be unsatisfactory. But I think compared with the final result of entering the World Cup for the first time, can we steadily participate in each World Cup in the future? is the most important."
Seeing someone raise his hand, Shi Wuyin 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 working on cultivating new forces and expanding the talent base, but it is not the task that the national team should shoulder. The national team is the highest representative of a country’s football level. Go to the World Cup stage to show real kung fu, this is what should be done."
"Yes, Huang Lao, you are right." Shi Wuyin was very respectful to the grey-haired Chinese football star, but he didn't say a word. "But the situation of Chinese football is different from other countries. We have our own specialties. For those countries that can participate in every World Cup, they should send the strongest lineup. But for us who participated in the World Cup for the first time, I think In fact, the national team also shoulders the task of planting seeds. It is like passing the torch. After we light the torch, we must ensure that the torch will not be extinguished so that it can be handed over to latecomers. Let young talents and talents Participating more in the World Cup will help inspire their dreams, and at the same time allow them to see the future direction and work hard with this as their goal, so as to bring more people to join..."
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, how can we encourage more people to pursue their dreams? After all, competitive sports still has the final say. I think that only outstanding results can really arouse everyone's enthusiasm for football... For example, we did not have outstanding results in the world preliminaries, how can so many people in society pay attention to football now?" the person who raised his hand asked.
"Guide Feng, you are right, results are king. But the problem is the current strength of the Chinese team, it is really difficult for us to achieve 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 at his assertive statement.
Shi Wuyin ignored these reactions and continued: "This world preliminaries have exposed this problem-Wilson's national team had no problems with the personnel before. All of his selections were from their respective Super League teams. The main players, after many years of tempering in the Super League and the AFC Champions League, are at the top of the domestic players of this age group. But still not good. We were beaten in the world preliminaries and were unable to fight back. Even Qatar in our home court Can't win..."
Shi Wuyin saw that the leading experts in the conference room could not help but whisper and talk, and he continued:
"Yao Huasheng and Howard are all over 30 years old, and they are still the pillars of the national team. Qin Lin, who retired last year, remained very competitive in the Super League until he retired. This aspect of course shows Qin Lin's skills. Self-discipline and strength, but doesn’t it mean that we have no latecomers to make up? At the age of twenty-five to thirty years old, 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 and young people under 25. The Mesozoic has disappeared."
The discussion was much quieter, and everyone's expressions were a little serious.
"Of course their disappearance has nothing to do with them. It is the influence of the overall environment of our Chinese football. When they were growing up, it happened to be the darkest and most chaotic era of Chinese football. The players who came out in that environment were of high level. It is conceivable. I am not belittling them. Football is a sport of what causes and results. The tragedy of their entire generation of players is the tragedy of Chinese football. It is only based on their players. If they go to the World Cup, the results will be achieved. Surely not good, and this kind of badness is meaningless bad. Except for bad results, we won't leave anything after going to the World Cup for a lap. In that case, why not let more grow up after the reform Young players go to the World Cup to allow them to accumulate experience and knowledge..."
Having said that, Shi Wuyin pressed the mouse, and the PPT on the projection screen behind him changed to a picture. It was a cloud of black ashes, but if you look closely, you can still find the red starlight through those seemingly burnt ashes .
"As the Chinese team participating in the World Cup for the first time, in fact, no matter how we do it, the results will not be too good. Because we are still far from the average level of world football, let alone the advanced level. But if we are Under the ashes of failure, there is residual temperature, and only a gust of wind can reignite the flame. Then such failure is meaningful.
Then he pressed the mouse again, and a new picture appeared on the projection screen.
It was an aerial photograph of the forest on the edge of the desert. The woods nearby were lush and green, which not only blocked the yellow desert in the distance, but also moved forward in some places and advanced into the depths of the desert.

Some time ago, Hu Lai cooperated with the local government of Tongqi Yala League Right Banner to launch a public welfare project. The specific content is planting trees. This picture appeared at their launching ceremony. The press conference said it was The future plan of the project, and the effect after it was integrated with other sand-prevention forests in the surrounding area. After this incident, someone specially ran to the project location and took such a picture..."
An aerial photo appeared next to the "Effect Picture". Except for some small saplings that were just inserted, the picture was all large areas of yellowish brown, which was the appearance of the desert itself.
It is far from the greenery in the effect picture~EbookFREE.me~ Now, it looks like two completely different worlds from the ‘effect picture’. But it was the same at the beginning of sand control in every place, and it was the same before the Umaru Desert was wiped out. Shi Wuyin pointed to the screen behind him.
"Some people say that the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now. Ten years ago, Chinese football started reforms and planted a batch of small saplings. Ten years later, we relied on these small saplings to harvest the first in history. Qualification for the second World Cup. We have seen the benefits of planting trees, but should we stop there? Of course not. I think now we should plant another batch of saplings for the next ten years. Those of us who planted saplings by ourselves People may not be able to enjoy the coolness of the big trees, but there must be someone who can benefit from it 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. Did the former decision makers decide to deepen reforms and plant the first saplings?"
"The above is my debriefing report as the head coach of the Chinese national team."
After speaking, Shi Wuyin bowed slightly.
Everyone 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 and straightened up and raised his head, he saw someone in the crowd looking at him at a glance.
That was because of his idea of ​​"predecessors planting trees and descendants to enjoy the shade" and chose him as the head coach of the Olympic team.
At that time he was a deputy, but now he is a principal.
After noticing Shi Wuyin's gaze, he smiled and nodded.
