Chapter 175 Frontal conflict(1/2)
Anko decided to stay in Dortmund and politely declined the news about the wealthy Bayern Munich. Just like when he was "flirting with Munich", he was quickly exposed by the media.
Dortmund's media naturally cheered Anke's choice, but Chinese media generally felt that Anke was too impulsive, not mature and rational enough. After Zhang Jun left Milan, they pessimistically announced that Zhang Jun bid farewell to the wealthy family and his career prospects became worrying.
Speaking of which, the domestic media has been really lively recently. While worrying about the two "incredible" choices of overseas players, they also have to be sad about the problems gradually exposed within the national team, because this concerns what kind of results the Chinese team can achieve in the World Cup.
Unlike the media's concern, Qiu Suhui seemed calm and composed. He didn't care about the current situation. He even hoped that the bigger the incident, the better, so that the players could realize the seriousness of the matter.
Nowadays, many players, whether new or old, lack a sense of crisis. They always think that entering the World Cup is considered completing the task. This is true for a team that reached the World Cup finals for the first time. However, for a team that entered the finals for the second time in a row, such self-requirements are too vague.
All European leagues have ended, and overseas players are resting and waiting for their respective clubs to gather when the national teams arrive in Europe for training.
The time of the Chinese league and the European League is different, so the league will be suspended during the World Cup. Several years ago, some people thought that the time setting of the Chinese league was very unreasonable, and suggested that they also change it to the cross-year model to adapt to the schedule of international competitions such as the World Cup, Asian Cup, and Olympics. Chen Wei is now under pressure and has many difficulties in reform in China, and there is no time to consider this.
In connection with domestic reforms, Qiu Suhui's burden is even heavier. Qiu Suhui's national team has been regarded by most people as Chen Wei's direct troops. If Chen Wei wants him to implement the reform smoothly, then Qiu Suhui will make a breakthrough in the World Cup. Chen Wei already knows the problem of disunity within the national team. His promise to Qiu Suhui is: "Even if you do it according to your ideas, I will hold you over if something happens. I don't care what you use, in short, I will see a united national team before the opening game of the World Cup."
With a backer, many things are much easier to handle, so the night before the national team went to the Netherlands to train, Qiu Suhui smiled and said to Hu Li with a dark smile: "Old Hu, this time I go to Europe, I have to vent you in advance. I plan to intensify this contradiction. You must cooperate with me at that time. If I sing a slander, you will sing a slander."
Hu Li nodded. Although he was not clear about what Qiu Suhui wanted to make the matter, his tacit understanding over three years made him choose to trust this person unconditionally.
At this time, most of the national team members were still dreaming about the World Cup in bed, and they didn't know that there was a "conspiracy" waiting for them in the Netherlands.
※※※
The Netherlands is the Netherlands again. Qiu Suhui chose the Netherlands as the training ground before the World Cup for two reasons. First, the Netherlands is close to Germany, with convenient transportation and similar climate. Second, he has a wide relationship in the Netherlands, and it is easy to find pre-match training ground and warm-up opponents.
Therefore, this time the Chinese team still placed the training ground at Ajax's training base.
The people from the original National Olympic Team are no longer unfamiliar with this place, because they have been here three times this time.
Just half a day after the national team arrived, the overseas players also gathered in Amsterdam one after another.
One day later, the national team's 23-man roster was all concentrated, and Qiu Suhui was finally able to start the formal training camp.
The training camp lasted nearly half a month from May 20th to June 3rd. He contacted three warm-up matches, but his opponents were not strong. They were just local club teams in the Netherlands and there were no Class A teams. The media believed that Qiu Suhui clearly wanted to make the national team find confidence.
But in fact, it is because Qiu Suhui is not on the spot now. He believes that solving internal problems is far more important than foreign wars at present.
But how can we intensify the conflict between the two sides and make them explode?
During the training these days, Qiu Suhui turned a blind eye to the cold words of the new and old team members and some minor conflicts in their daily lives. In fact, he did not relax at all about the observation of the two gangs. He wanted to find the key to anger both sides.
Everything was normal in the training a few days ago. After playing two warm-up matches, the Chinese team won one by one and tied. They found some problems and also saw a solution - that is, to build unity first.
There was no live TV broadcast of the warm-up match, which made Qiu Suhui very unhappy. Few people could see such good shows as Xiang Tao and Zheng Jun fighting on the court.
Speaking of the conflict, the responsibility lies with Xiang Tao. When facing a Class B team, he lost a goal, and was impatient, he shouted at the captain Zheng Jun, accusing him of not keeping a close eye on others, which caused the goal conceded this time. In fact, this goal conceding had nothing to do with him, he was just meddling in other people's business.
So, Qiu Suhui took advantage of the situation and scolded Xiang Tao hard in front of everyone after the game. This naturally made the old players led by Zheng Jun very happy. They always showed a sense of superiority in front of the new players, believing that Qiu Suhui's move was a compromise with them, because the head coach was also considered a national Olympic team in the past.
Naturally, the new players will definitely be unhappy. On the one hand, they feel that Qiu Zhi didn't help them and was wronged. On the other hand, they are even more dissatisfied with the arrogant old players.
As a result, in the second warm-up match, Zheng Jun made an incredible mistake, allowing his opponent to equalize the score at the last moment. This time, Xiang Tao did not jump out and shouted anything, but Qiu Suhui, who was on the sidelines, pulled down his face, and in fact he was happy.
Qiu Suhui, who returned to the locker room, naturally reasonably continued his strict requirements and strict military governance attitude, criticized Zheng Jun and also criticized some old team members. He even threatened that if anyone did not do it well, he could leave now if he was half-hearted, and there were still a lot of candidates waiting in the country.
This made the old players feel very uncomfortable, but the head coach and the others dared not contradict each other. They could only be upset with the new players sitting aside with a gloating smile on their faces.
Qiu Suhui saw these things and was happy in his heart. If it was to have this effect, both sides should be “inner hatred growing” now. Anyone who wants to light a small fire can "boom" the prairie fire.
But who should I lit this fire?
※※※
Qiu Suhui looked in the distance, where Kru was using his rest time to perform his streetball skills to his teammates, and occasionally cheered.
Of course, the target of his performance is only new players. Even if the national team is resting, there are still a lot of new players and old players.
When Qiu Suhui saw this situation, he suddenly remembered what he observed that the old players didn't like Krue, the newly added person. They generally thought that this kid played soccer alone, and was arrogant and looked down on others.
In fact, Kru is just under the influence of the new team members, he looks down on the old team members. He is not looking down on everyone, otherwise he would not have performed for everyone during the break.
This may be a good opportunity.
Qiu Suhui roared his whistle and signaled the team members to come and gather.
"We will hold an in-team teaching competition tomorrow. Everyone should take it as a practical battle, because the starting lineup in the World Cup will be born from this teaching competition."
As soon as Qiu Suhui said, he could see the light in the eyes of many team members - the green light. That's what he wanted.
After the training, Qiu Suhui said to Hu Li: "Old Hu, there is a good show now. You will be the referee tomorrow, and I want you to master this dictatorship."
Hu Li nodded: "Is it a strict punishment?"
Qiu Suhui waved his hand: "No."
"So lenient?"
"No." Qiu Suhui shook his head, "You have to do this, try to be as relaxed as possible at the beginning. For those fouls that do not really hit someone, no matter how bad it is, you can ignore them. When you really get over the person, you will put the standard tightly on me. As long as there is physical contact during the foul, you can blow it."
Hu Li looked at Qiu Suhui in surprise, who gave him a sinister smile: "I will let all team doctors be on guard tomorrow. When things are big, I will also intervene. Oh, and also, let the reporters notify the entire course of tomorrow's teaching competition is open to reporters. There is no problem with them bringing cameras or cameras. I guess they are almost crazy."

Kru, who was having supper, had just finished eating, but was called out by the head coach. The Chinese team's meal was a collective system, and everyone acted in a unified manner. As soon as he finished eating, he saw Qiu Suhui appear at the door.
"Cru, have you finished eating? After eating, come to my room and I have something to talk to you." Then he called Cru away in front of all the players, completely ignoring what other players looked at Cru with.
Sitting in his room, Qiu Suhui asked Kru with a smile: "Do you know what's wrong with me asking you to come?"
Cru shook his head, he didn't think about it at all.
"That's right. You are the key figure in tomorrow's game. I want to focus on your situation. I want you to get more balls and dribble more. Since our first opponent in the group stage is Brazil, and you are the only person in the team who can compare with the Brazilian team in dribbling and controlling the ball. Tomorrow I will arrange a lot of people to defend you. Maybe their movements will be very rough, but what I want to see is whether you can perform in such a bad situation."
"The Premier League defenders are much more brutal than the Chinese defenders." Krew replied indifferently.
"It's good that you have this confidence." Qiu Suhui laughed, "Just this matter, you can go back if you know."
Kru didn't ask much, why did the head coach ask him to discuss this matter alone, and got up and left. When he walked to the door, Qiu Suhui called him again.
"You have confidence in fighting with the Brazilians, right?" he asked Kru.
"Of course." Kru replied concisely.
"Very good. Oh, by the way. Remember to do a good job in protection tomorrow. I don't want to lose a main player before the World Cup." Qiu Suhui waved his hand, "Go back and play, but don't play too late."
Qiu Suhui, who had sent Kru away, found Zheng Jun again. Of course, this time he did not find Zheng Jun in front of everyone, but alone.
"I know you must be angry about my criticism after the last game, right?" Qiu Suhui said to Zheng Jun with a smile.
Who is Zheng Jun? He quickly waved his hand and headed: "No! No! The coach criticized me correctly, I have no objection." Just kidding, can anyone express any objection in front of you?
"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore. You know that the World Cup is approaching and the pressure from the superiors is putting a lot of pressure. Tomorrow's teaching match, I want to test the abilities of you old players. Our first opponent in the World Cup is Brazil. This is a team that is good at technology. I want to know how far you can do in the attack like Brazil. So the back line you lead tomorrow must give me all my strength. We are ugly in the front. If you don't try your best, don't blame me for being polite."
Zheng Jun ticked his head like a chicken eating rice: "It must! It must! Coach, don't worry, please make sure to do your best. Hehe!" As he said that, he laughed.
"Haha! That's good, don't let me down." Qiu Suhui smiled and patted Zheng Jun on the shoulder.
The two of them just had their own ulterior motives, and pretended to have nothing to do with each other.
Only Hu Li was a little worried. He didn't know how much he could control tomorrow's game. The competition was about to come. Even if there was another injury to the team, it would be a big blow. Qiu Suhui was on the verge of danger.
※※※
The next morning, reporters who were allowed to shoot the news gathered on the sidelines early.
Qiu Suhui specially arranged this game at the No. 3 venue of Ajax Training Base, because there was a simple stand there, all the reporters in the reporters were invited to sit in the stands, and the photojournalists set up machines on the sidelines. Qiu Suhui rarely had such a kindness. Everyone was surprised and unwilling to miss such an opportunity to have close contact with the national team.
The national team training has been almost a week, and Qiu Suhui is only open for fifteen minutes at the beginning of the daily training, allowing video recordings to be taken. Once the time comes, the photo reporter and the videographer will be kicked out, leaving only the text reporter, but the text reporter can only watch for another half an hour.
Even Sophie couldn't have much contact with Zhang Jun with such strict requirements. She said it well on the phone before the training camp, but when it came to the training camp, she realized that it was not what she thought.
Sufi naturally couldn't complete the task given by the newspaper, and Zhang Jun had no choice. He put the overall situation of the national team first and did not take the initiative to find Sofi, because Qiu Zhi had not said that he could bring his family in to visit the set, and his other teammates did not have a girlfriend or wife around him, so he naturally could not make it special.
It was just a pain for Sophie. She ran around with her camera all day long, racing against time, and taking all her thoughts on taking various photos of the Chinese national team. Fortunately, Li Yan helped her, and even if the task was not completed, there would be two people carrying it together.
※※※
When the Chinese team came to the stadium, they were also shocked by the long guns and short cannons on the sidelines. They had never seen an interview lineup of this size since the training camp.
Qiu Suhui was extremely satisfied with the reporters' reaction. But he felt a little sorry, it would be great if there was a live broadcast!
The lineups of both sides were lined up, and Qiu Suhui asked Hu Li to tell the staffing to the players. The game was divided into two teams, Team A wore red national team uniforms, and Team B wore white team uniforms. The yellow vest, which symbolizes the main force, did not appear on either side. Qiu Suhui's meaning was obvious: If you want to become the main force, use your own practical actions to get it!
Team A is almost all composed of old players, they play the traditional 442 formation of the Chinese team. Team B is a new player, playing the more offensive 352 formation.
The intention of this arrangement is also very obvious, it is a battle between the new and the old. After a long time of turning a blind eye to the factional struggle of the team, Qiu Suhui finally took it to the table clearly.
Many reporters were also surprised when they saw the players of the red and white sides on the field, but some of them quickly realized that Qiu Suhui had too many attitudes towards this factional conflict some time ago, and now he seems to have to make up his mind to resolve it. This game is probably because "the drunken man's intention is not to drink."
Qiu Suhui assigned the team and moved a chair to the sidelines to watch the show. Hu Li stood in the field wearing the red and black coat of the Chinese team. He was the referee of this game. After Qiu Suhui's instructions, he knew what to do.
As for the players on both sides of the game, they also regarded this game as a practical battle as Qiu Suhui said. It was related to their respective opportunities for performance in the World Cup, and no one would be weak. Even if someone had a good relationship in normal times, as long as they were opponents, there would be no mercy to talk about.
Hu Li whistled and the game began.
As a front midfielder, Kreu has outstanding ball control skills, so the ball is naturally passed to him frequently.
In the eyes of Zheng Jun of Team A, this is naturally a great opportunity to perform to the head coach. But in the eyes of other old players, it is believed that the head coach is deliberately cultivating Kru. Obviously, this "transfer student" is very favored, while these "old ministers" are gradually losing favor.
This is a reality that makes them very unhappy and depressed. They are not as good as Kruy in terms of technology and performance, but it does not mean that they cannot cure this "arrogant" newcomer. This teaching game gave them a good opportunity. In the training game, a player had an accident and collided with his teammate and suffered serious injuries. He had to withdraw from the national team before the World Cup. This is really regrettable.
With news like this, people will only feel sorry for the injured and worry about the fate of the national team, but they will not think of any conspiracy behind the injury.
The ideas of these people are also very in line with Qiu Suhui's hope. It's not that Qiu Suhui's cleverness and plans are as good as a god, but that he knows that some people's human nature is like this. For their own selfish interests, they can do whatever they want to sacrifice the interests of others and the interests of the overall national situation.
