"Brother Dong, are you back?"

On the phone, the other party's voice seemed very loud and excited.

"A few hours left, and I'm still in the capital."

Dong Fangzhuo was also very excited.

After getting off the plane, I couldn't wait to call Zhu Ting.

"Come to my house and watch the football together."

Before he returned to Dalian, he couldn't wait to invite Zhu Ting.

Today is November 17, and the Chinese team faces HK in Tianhe, Guangzhou.

The two are childhood friends and best friends. Dong Fangzhuo went away from England, while Zhu Ting was loaned to Dalian Changbo by Dalian Shide, becoming the team's main center.

However, Zhu Ting's number of goals has always been very low. At the end of this season, he only scored 3 in 17 games...

Zhu Ting is a few months younger than Dong Fangzhuo and belongs to the 85-86 golden generation.

At the age of 18 and 19, they are the best future for Chinese football. They also come from the Real Germans, and at this time they are not the only two of them chasing their dreams of football.

There are also Quan Lei, Zhao Xuri, Zhou Haibin, Feng Xiaoting, Chen Tao, Mao Jianqing, Lu Lin, Hao Junmin, Gao Lin, Wang Yongpo...

Too many.

These guys formed the national youth, national Olympic team and national team at that time...

Dong Fangzhuo's thoughts were a little drifty, and suddenly he remembered many things, many teammates and the ups and downs of the years ahead.

In the 2004 Asian Youth Championship, the 85 National Youth League lost to South Korea and won the runner-up after failing to compete in the finals.

In the 2005 World Youth Championship, he won all three group matches. In the quarterfinals, the Chinese Youth League only regretted losing to Germany 2-3. However, he was a substitute at that time...

But the results were far lower than people's expectations. At the 2008 Olympics, the national Olympic team not only failed to qualify in the group stage, but even failed to win, but in the end the red card was still losing.

Dong Fangzhuo scored the first goal in China's Olympic history, but it was useless...

At the two World Cups in 2010 and 2014, the Chinese national team, with this group of players as the main body, failed to even make the top 8 games. It is considered the most promising group of players in China, but it has brought the most disappointing results.

The reason why this group of people failed to explode overall is that since 2005, China's national team has been in a turbulent period. The national team head coaches are frequently changed, and the Football Association has repeatedly made low-level mistakes in the selection of head coaches, which has prevented the best players from meeting the best coaches.

18-year-old Zhou Haibin and Zhao Xuri became the main force of the national team under Alihan. Before the game on November 17, 2004, Alihan was transferred to Chen Tao again.

That is today.

If there was no such mentally retarded accident, Alihan, who likes technical play, would definitely be able to improve this group of players to the national team. This is not a hypothesis. Let’s see how Alihan activates Chen Tao and Zhou Haibin in the two coaches of Tianjin teams one after another.

Even if he had a tolerant personality and knew about this team, instead of Dui, who was recommended by Xie Yalong, could become the head coach of the national Olympic team at that time, the team would have performed no worse than the World Youth Championship.

The last chance came in 2011. At that time, Gao Hongbo spent two years training a large number of players from 85 and 87 to become the backbone of the national team. Then the Football Association exchanged for Kamacho on the last match. The first thing Lao Ka did when he joined the team was to recruit veterans again. The national team lost three consecutive times, and the 85 generation began to bid farewell to the stage.

Chinese football is like a poor man who is not good at managing finances. When he sighs that God does not help me, he forgets how he used to squander the wealth in his hands.

The mistakes of Chinese football can be modified, but the excitement that could have belonged to this generation of players can never be restored. When we are sighing at the tragedy of an era, who can know the regrets in the hearts of the 85 and 86 generations.

well……

Dong Fangzhuo sighed heavily and was already on the plane to Dalian.

What are you thinking! At least a lot has changed now, right? You can enter the top ten games at least.

But what will happen to the quarterfinals?

...

When Dong's mother suddenly saw her son coming back, she was naturally very happy and made a lot of delicious food.

Dong Fangzhuo did not make an exception and ate it very well, but he didn't want to waste his mother's painstaking efforts. He tried it casually without any dishes.

My mother has been worried about his future over the years, and he can no longer worry or disappoint her mother, for example, it is OK now.

Zhu Ting is still like before, laughing and hilarious, just a child and a fan.

"Brother Dong, did Ronaldo carry your bag?"

"Does Keane often get angry in the locker room?"

"Drunk Bowyer, was it intentional?"

"Sir..."

“…”

Zhu Ting has been doing a lot of things, and Dong Fangzhuo listened quietly, adding a quiet that was inconsistent with his age.

Afterwards, the two sat in front of the TV and watched the Chinese team game together.

"I finally entered the quarterfinals." Zhu Ting guls coke.

"Little pig, don't always drink carbonated drinks, it's harmful to the body."

Dong Fangzhuo reached out and grabbed Coke.

Um?

Zhu Ting almost choked by Coke and looked at Dong Fangzhuo unexpectedly, as if he didn't know Dong Fangzhuo.

"Haha, Brother Dong, you're not kidding. You used to encourage me to secretly buy money at home..."

"Ha, that's because I did something wrong before. Now I don't touch a single drop. I don't know how to tell you, let's say that, if I eat and drink like you, I can't even stay in the Manchester United reserve team."

"You are Manchester United, I'm just in Dalian Changbo. It's different. My strength is great and I'm enough to deal with it." Zhu Ting curled his lips.

"cope?"

Dong Fangzhuo's voice sank.

"Does Zhao Xuri, who is in Sichuan, think so?"

"He? He is almost the core now!" 18-year-old Zhao Xuri is already doing well in Sichuan.

Dong Fangzhuo nodded: "I really want to gather with everyone. Everyone hasn't sat together for so long."

Everyone's future is different. Dong Fangzhuo has no ability to change everyone, so he can only try to influence and do his best.

"Xiaozhu, you can't keep playing in Dalian Changbo. You must go back to Shide, maybe you will transfer, maybe you will still stay abroad?"

"Look, Zhao Xuri and Chen Tao are both on the bench."

Dong Fangzhuo pointed at the TV screen. At this time, Zhao Xuri and Chen Tao were sitting on the bench at Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium, watching the game intently.

"I will be able to go one day, too." Zhu Ting said seriously.

"It is the minimum to be able to go, but if you go, everything will be over. After that, what about the World Cup? What about our own future? Sometimes what we pursue is too low."

"Do you remember our childhood dream?"

"Beyond Hao Haidong, go abroad." Zhu Ting answered without thinking.

"But, I have to fight back to Shide first. Unlike you, you have a good life and start with Manchester United."
