Next, His Majesty the Emperor also met and shook hands with the main players such as Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang to encourage them. For all players, Beckenbauer is a living legend, a figure on the same level as the football kings Pele and Maradona.
Talking about the young players from Tübingen who are hanging around in the amateur league, Ronaldo and others who are currently in the limelight were equally excited to see Beckenbauer.
There are so many professional players in China, how many of them can meet Beckenbauer? How many of them have spoken, shaken hands and been encouraged? When thinking of this, Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang almost fainted from happiness. Just then
Just like senior fans are the ones who best understand the technical level of professional players and are the ones who admire them the most, only true professional players understand how powerful a legend like Beckenbauer is.
Next, Beckenbauer visited the club, football field, business district, training ground, and youth training center. These were all procedures agreed upon by the German Football Association and Tübingen Club in advance. Beckenbauer's arrival was both a signal to the outside world and
Sending a corresponding signal was also an inspection. The top management of the German Football Association was a little curious about how much Chinese factors accounted for the team's good results and how it achieved this point.
Thanks to the persistent conversation in German for more than half a year, Mr. Jin Bos accompanied Beckenbauer all the way, and the two 40-year-olds had a lively conversation. Compared with Beckenbauer's huge achievements, Xu Genbao's achievements seemed dim.
Well, growing up in China, a country with a weak football foundation, limits the upper limit of the growth of all players. No matter how outstanding you are, if you don’t even have the opportunity to step onto the world’s highest stage, you will naturally not be listed in the history of world football. But if you start from
Comparing their current status, both Xu Genbao and Beckenbauer feel that they have a lot in common. Although Beckenbauer has led the team to win the Bundesliga championship, French Ligue 1 championship, World Cup runner-up, and championship, their achievements in leading the team
It was extremely brilliant. But Xu Genbao also had an amazing record: he led three teams to win the league championship, even if two of them were Chinese teams and one was a German amateur team.
Xu Genbao is one year older than Beckenbauer. Compared with the post-70s and post-80s youths everywhere in Tubingen, they still have more in common with each other. Although they were both active in the 1970s, although almost all of them were
Xu Genbao watched Beckenbauer play on TV, but being of similar age and having a common profession still made them talk very happily. This was the first time that Beckenbauer came into contact with footballers of his generation in the far East and accepted compliments from footballers of the same generation.
He felt far more accomplished than being called "Your Majesty" by children like Wang Ai and Leonie.
"Jinbosi, what made you come to Germany to coach?" Beckenbauer walked away from the camera and walked loosely on the side of the training ground, looking at Xu Genbao curiously, even though he knew a lot about Chinese football.
He doesn't know enough to understand that the income of German amateur league coaches cannot be compared with the income of top Chinese league coaches.
"Franz, what's the reason why you no longer serve as the head coach?" Xu Genbao smiled and said, "My reasons are the same as yours."
Beckenbauer laughed loudly and said with emotion: "After retiring from the national team, I became the coach of the national team, Bayern, and Marseille, and I also received the honors I deserved. The head coach is too tired.
I had to worry about everything, and later I lost interest in continuing to be a coach. There was not much to pursue. So I went to be the president of Bayern Munich and the vice president of the Football Association. From player to coach to football official, it was because
The older you get, the worse your physical fitness becomes, but the more things you think about in your mind, and you also hope to reach a higher position and work hard for greater goals."
"Yes, we are all old and have to change our roles. Originally, I was a head coach in China and opened a football school, oh, similar to your youth training center. Later, investors from Tubingen invited
I came to coach and start a coaching career in Germany, a football powerhouse. I think this will help me better understand the football level and the reasons for the power of football power, so while I come to study and inspect, I also come to explore the secrets of the unknown world.
." Xu Genbao said with a smile.
"So, do you have the answer?"
Xu Genbao nodded and sighed: "Although your population is only one-tenth of ours, your hardware foundation is too strong. Only when I arrived in Tubingen did I know that in this city with a population of 80,000, what is provided to the citizens
A free stadium costs only ten yuan. But in China, especially in recent years, citizens have almost no free football fields. We have a huge population, but we don’t have enough football people. Oh, that Wang Ai, is the world
The absolute core of the junior championship, he was born in 1987, but he participated in the national junior team in 1984, do you know the reason?"
"Is it because he is very, very good? I later watched the video of the final of last year's World Junior Championship. He is really one of the best among his peers. If we in Germany have such outstanding young players,
We can also ignore the disadvantage of age."
"No, dear Franz!" Xu Genbao said seriously: "The biggest reason why he was selected was not that he was outstanding, but that the team had only 30 players in the country to choose from, so they had to choose from the lower age groups.
"
"What?" Beckenbauer looked at Xu Genbao in shock: "30?"
In the eyes of foreigners like Beckenbauer who lack understanding of China, 1.3 billion people are simply a sea of people. Generally speaking, foreigners who are not good at mathematics have the most direct impression of the number 1.3 billion, which is basically close to the word "infinite".
concept.
So they always blindly believe that China has endless geniuses, just like they think that the Chinese market has endless consumption and purchasing power.
Beckenbauer was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and patted Xu Genbao on the shoulder. Only at this moment did he truly understand the plight of Xu Genbao, a Chinese footballer of the same age. Xu Genbao didn’t need to say anything. He was only 30 years old in a national youth team.
The fact that there are only one registered player is enough to show what kind of environment Chinese football is in. It is simply a wilderness. It is simply an impossible task to mobilize and get excited about this huge and backward football country. Germany
It took more than a hundred years of accumulation for football to become what it is today, but Chinese football has just started.
At this moment, Beckenbauer seemed to have seen the ancient gods of German football: they were also in the wilderness of football, they were equally ambitious and ambitious, they were also fighting against the chaotic situation, they were also carrying beautiful plans.
Just as great!
