Chapter 62 Let's go, go to the National Olympics(1/2)
When Chen Wei looked at the streets of people wearing masks outside the car window, he secretly thanked that the Football Association and Qiu Suhui signed the contract as soon as possible. So, the contract was signed by SARS. And news came from the AFC that the Sino-Syrian battle was forced to be postponed due to factors that manpower could not resist, and the specific date remains to be discussed by the three parties. If the contract was not signed before, Luo Wenqiang had enough time to cast a net and catch fish everywhere. With the requests made by Qiu Suhui, the Football Association would not consider him anyway.
People often say that planning is up to others, and success is based on God. This is indeed the case!
Qiu Suhui only went to the Football Association to report after the press conference, and then prepared to recruit new national Olympic team members to train according to the list in his mind.
Chen Wei looked at the new batch of training lists of the National Olympic Team that Qiu Suhui gave him, and was so surprised that he didn't close his mouth for a long time, while Qiu Suhui sat in his office drinking coffee leisurely.
"This, this is the training list? But why did I see nearly 90% of the new names?" Chen Wei tactfully put forward his own opinions.
"Yes, examining newcomers with potential is the main purpose of the first training camp." Qiu Suhui took a sip of coffee, "These people are all potential newcomers I found in U21."
Chen Wei looked at the list, then looked at Qiu Suhui, then sat down on the sofa next to him and gently placed the list on the coffee table between the two. "Xiao Qiu, do you want to hide it even me?" He stared at Qiu Suhui, "To be honest, what medicine do you sell in the gourd?"
Qiu Suhui smiled: "Hehe, since you have guessed it, I won't hide it from you. What do you think is the biggest problem with the previous National Olympic Team?"
"In the past? Did you mean the previous national Olympic teams?"
"No, it's this class, Shen Weiguo's class."
"There is a problem? No? Since the time of the National Youth League, they have been the best team and have always been highly expected by people. What will happen?"
"This National Olympic Team has been trained under Shen Weiguo for more than four years, so it is called the "Shen Family Army" by the media. In my opinion, the Shen Family Army no longer has the passion he used to. After training, all they see are old faces. It is not easy for newcomers to come in. Do you think that by summoning Zhang Jun and Yang Pan on this group of people, you can get the right to qualify?"
“Isn’t it?”
Qiu Suhui shook his head: "Football is a collective sport. Adding two stars cannot change the current situation of China's National Olympic Games. And even if they have such strength, it will be very difficult to integrate into the current National Olympic Games. Don't think I'm exaggerating. Even if you have the strength now, you may not be able to win trust. Those National Olympic Games players have been polluted by materialism and other messy things... Oh, I'm sorry." Qiu Suhui suddenly remembered that Chen Wei was in charge of the National Olympic Games. Speaking of the National Olympic Games being polluted, doesn't it mean that Chen Wei's management is not effective?
"It's okay, you keep talking." Chen Wei shook his head. He knew that the National Olympic Team had some bad tendencies, but he shouldn't reject the two leaders of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, who were the same age?
"Many Chinese players have a blind arrogance. Didn't anyone tell me before the South Korean and Japanese World Cup that there is no problem with winning Brazil? What's the result?" Qiu Suhui smiled disdainfully, "What's more, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan have only played professional football for a year, but are so popular, which will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among some players. Then there is the conflict between the two football concepts. Zhang Jun and others represent advanced Dutch football, while the National Olympic Team, which has been trained under Shen Weiguo for more than four years, still insists on the backward playing style of physical acceleration. The conflict between these two concepts is likely to lead to the division of the National Olympic Team."
Chen Wei squinted his eyes: "So serious?"
"I came back from the Netherlands, what do you think?" Qiu Suhui asked Chen Wei with a smile.
"Oh, I understand."
“Since the match against Syria has been postponed, I have plenty of time to reshape a team…”
"Wait, reshape a team? Is it time to go? I don't know when the match against Syria will start..." Chen Wei interrupted Qiu Suhui's words.
"Haha, Chen Weiguo spent more than four years to shape a team in his heart, and I could initially shape the team in my heart in half a year. Scientific training methods, humanized management, and knowledge of the characteristics of each team member are so familiar with each other. I believe I can do it, as long as the Football Association gives me full trust." Qiu Suhui answered confidently.
"Yeah, I understand. Keep talking and tell me your plan."
"I will reshape a team according to my philosophy, and these people..." Qiu Suhui pointed to the list, "It's the best clay. People in the past are already semi-finished products of failure and have no value to me. If you want to enter Athens with such a team, I can't do it."
"Yes." Chen Wei picked up the list again, "But how do you plan to explain to Luo Wenqiang and media fans for such a training list?" He looked at Qiu Suhui and said.
Qiu Suhui smiled: "Examining newcomers with potential is the main purpose of this training camp." He repeated the initial words again.
Chen Wei looked at Qiu Suhui, "Okay, I'll report it to you. But you have to be careful..." He didn't say he was careful, but everyone knew it in his heart?
When major media got the list of the National Olympic Team training camp, they could hardly believe their eyes. Some people even doubted that the Football Association's level of service might have misappropriated the list of the National Youth Team, right? Otherwise, why did there be 95% of the names on the list? What about the members of the National Olympic Team in the past? What about those super platinum players?
Despite the surprise, the list is still released. After all, if you don’t publish it, and if other media announce it, you will lose the opportunity to fight the news.
"...The following is news about the National Olympic Team. The new head coach Qiu Suhui has announced the training list of the new batch of National Olympic Teams. Surprisingly, in this list, strange faces account for the vast majority. Below is the 35-man roster for this training, with seven people from Dalian: Wu Shangshan, Feng Lin..."
It can be imagined that this list caused a shock between the media and the fans. Many fans even believed that Qiu Suhui must have had a problem with his brain because he was elected as the head coach of the National Olympic Team.
"Excellent players do not mean excellent coaches!"
"Qiu Suhui digs his own grave!"
"The 'Holland' coach who returned from the Netherlands!"
"A certain national Olympic team member: I can't understand the list."
...
Qiu Suhui threw the newspaper aside, almost entirely criticizing him. He had expected this situation that media things were not lethal to him, and he would not read newspapers and magazines in the future. But the pressure from the other side had to be carefully considered. Just this morning, Luo Wenqiang accompanied Chen Wei with a gloomy face to the Xianghe Training Base in the suburbs of Beijing.
When he saw Luo Wenqiang's face like a stone tablet, he knew that the accountability was coming.
As soon as he finished his seat, Luo Wenqiang questioned the training list straight to the point: "Coach Qiu Suhui, I really want to hear your opinion on the training list. Why does the 35-man roster have thirty new faces? And many of the 30 people have never played in a single minute of the A-level competition."
Qiu Suhui was not as hilarious as he was alone with Chen Wei. He sat upright and answered the full-time vice chairman of the Football Association in a very serious tone: "This is my first training camp for the National Olympic Team, and I attach great importance to it. I recruited a large number of newcomers to test their strength."
"The former national Olympic team members were also very capable, so why did they waste time to inspect any new players? You must know that the game against Syria is imminent!" Luo Wenqiang said with a frown. God knows how long it will take for him to "imminent" to be in his mouth.
Qiu Suhui felt very uncomfortable, thinking that "discussing issues" with an idiot like you is a real waste of time! The contract is clearly written: Except for Chen Wei, others have no right to interfere with the work of the head coach of the national Olympic team. I have only signed a few days ago? Luo Wenqiang, the old guy, was itchy. He didn't want to say more to Luo Wenqiang, but in fact it was useless to say more, so he threw out a sentence: "Everything depends on the results. If you lose the game against Syria, I will automatically be dismissed!"
There was really no skill to say, and I didn't leave any way out for myself, nor did I give Luo Wenqiang a face. Luo Wenqiang was also stunned, probably not expecting a coach to dare to speak like this in front of him. Chen Wei sat aside and didn't know what to say. For a moment, there was no other sound in the office except for the low buzzing sound of the air conditioner.
After a while, Luo Wenqiang's face twitched a few times, "Okay, the Football Association respects your opinion, and let's talk about it after the game with Syria. Chen Wei will be responsible for the work of the National Olympic Team. If you have any questions, please contact him directly." He stood up and smiled, "The hope of Chinese football is in your hands, come on!"
Qiu Suhui also forced a smile: "Please rest assured, I will not let down my expectations."
After seeing Luo Wenqiang and Chen Wei away, Qiu Suhui returned to the office. Seeing that Biluochun soaked for Luo Wenqiang on the table was still steaming, the guy didn't move at all. He picked up the ceramic cup and threw it directly into the trash can in the corner. Biluochun, who costs more than 500 yuan, continued to emit heat in the trash can.
He never drinks tea, only instant coffee. Such expensive Biluochun was bought to entertain his superiors.
Chengdu, Sichuan, the youth team dormitory of Chengdu Club.
Xiang Tao is filling his bag with local specialties... local specialties? Yes, in addition to training and competition clothing, sneakers, and some personal items, he specially bought a large bag to hold these local specialties.
When he received a call from Qiu Suhui himself at his home in Zigong, he thought he was dreaming. He, a person who was unstable in the club youth team, could be selected for the Chinese National Olympic Team! Although it is just a training roster now, it does not mean the final 23-man competition list, and it still makes the family excited for several days.
So, my mother, father, grandpa, and grandma all mobilized. His family was not a rich family. Grandpa and grandma retired. My mother was a teacher at a primary school in the town, while my father worked for others in Yibin. This time the children were selected for the National Olympic Games, and they could not give any valuable gifts. In fact, they should not give gifts at all. So the family, who could cook good food, prepared countless bags of delicious food for him and asked him to take them to Beijing.
"Divid these to your teammates and coaches and establish a good relationship with them. You are trusting, you should learn from the coach with modestness and not have conflicts with your teammates..." A simple retired worker, his grandfather didn't know that they didn't care about these things they made at home. Besides, the weather is probably almost broken even if it is taken to Beijing.
Xiang Tao had already divided half of his salary when he returned to Chengdu. His salary was not enough to treat him, so he could only use this instead. Of course, he would not know that some red-eyed "teammates" turned around and threw those things into the trash can, and did not forget to spit out two mouthfuls of thick phlegm filled with smoke: "Tortoise son! That coach has a problem with his eyes!"
After barely pulling the zipper, Wang Yu has already pulled the suitcase to knock on his door: "Hurry up! Don't wait!"
Xiang Tao, who was 1.83 meters tall, picked up two heavy bags and turned around: "Come on! Come on! What are you urging me to! These are all eaten on the road, why don't you eat hammers on the road? If there are food, you still call me!"
Wang Yu, who had no idle hands, smiled and kicked Xiang Tao's butt: "Let's go! Go to the National Olympic Games!"
Zhengzhou, Henan, Zhongyuan Club Youth Team.
Liu Peng took the captain's armband off and placed it next to the pillow. He looked at the dormitory he had lived in for two years again, then carried his bag and turned around and went out.
"Let's go! Go to the National Olympic Games!"
Sima Hongxin pulled up her suitcase without saying a word and followed her, and the door of the dormitory was gently closed behind them.
When the two walked out of the dormitory building, they were shocked. The teammates who were supposed to be taking a nap all gathered outside the dormitory building, waiting for them. Seeing the two of them coming out, someone started to shout: "Captain! Come back early!"
As soon as he finished shouting, he was beaten up by someone else: "Go to death! Do you win some good things?"
"Old zodiac, you can't see that you have no education. How can you go to elementary school? You should say this: Captain! Goodbye forever! Don't come back! Take roots and sprout like a small tree in the National Olympic Team!"
"Vomit-" vomited all over the place.
Liu Peng smiled, the sadness of parting was diluted.
"I will come back. Zhongyuan is my home. Take care of yourself!" After saying that, he and Sima Hongxin were about to get into the club's car.
"Captain! Don't forget us when you become famous!" Seeing that the two of you were about to leave, the teammates were not concerned about the order and started calling in a mess.
"That's it! Captain, I was just kidding. We are still waiting to cheer you up in front of the TV!"
"Captain, go slowly!"
"A good journey, captain!"
"Captain, do your best in the National Olympic Games and help us Henan people! If you win or not!"
Liu Peng looked at these teammates who had been with each other for two years and pursed his lips. His nose was a little sore, and I believe Sima was not much better. Because he had faced the car by himself, he left a slightly bent back to everyone.
Liu Peng didn't say anything, but just pulled Sima into the car quickly. As soon as the car door was closed, he saw Hu Li sitting opposite him. "Coach Hu?"
Hu Li smiled and said to the two, "I'll take you to the train station and hear what they said?" He pointed to the team members who rushed out of the window.
Liu Peng nodded.
"You two are representatives of Henan football. You are working hard at the National Olympic Team to help us win the excitement for Henan, but will you win?" Hu Li also asked.
This time, Liu Peng nodded fiercely: "Come on!"
On April 17, 2003, the first batch of national Olympic team members from Sichuan reported. On the morning of April 18, the second batch of three people in Beijing reported. On the afternoon of the 18th, four people in Guangdong reported and three people in Shanghai reported. On the morning of the 19th, two people in Henan reported and four people in Shandong reported in the afternoon. On the morning of the 20th, two people in Hunan reported, two people in Hubei reported, and two people in Shaanxi reported...
Three taxis were parked at the entrance of Xianghe training base, and several people came out one after another to take out their luggage from the trunk.
"Wow! This is the Xianghe training base? I have only seen it on TV before, but I didn't expect that I could come here too!"
"Hehe, you'll buy lottery tickets tomorrow. So many people across the country have chosen you. I'm lucky! If you win five million, you won the football game."
"What do you mean? I'm not playing football for money!"
"Haha, then what are you doing?"
"I……"
"Okay, don't break it, let's go!"
On the afternoon of the 21st, the last batch of seven people from Dalian reported.
On the morning of the 22nd, the National Olympic Team Conference Room at Xianghe Base.
Qiu Suhui looked at these players from all over the world and speaking local dialects with satisfaction. Many of them had a light of excitement and expectation in their eyes. This is the real hope of Chinese football, Qiu Suhui said to himself in his heart.
