Before Christmas, Inter Milan Club held a Christmas dinner at a French restaurant in downtown Milan.
The players brought their wives, children, and girlfriends, all dressed up to attend.
Since the start of the new season, Inter Milan has started low and moved high, ranking first in Serie A. Both the club's senior management and the players are very excited. This is the most enjoyable Christmas dinner that Inter Milan has enjoyed in the past few seasons.
At this Christmas dinner, Alice also made a public appearance as Li Ang's girlfriend. Seeing the head coach's girlfriend who looked like a beautiful princess in a fairy tale, the players at the scene whistled and booed.
The players of Inter Milan also learned for the first time that Carlos was actually Li Ang's brother-in-law. After the players were surprised, they got into a fuss and fought with Carlos. No one said that Li Ang was a nepotist. Carlos was on the court.
His performance is obvious to all. In addition, everyone also admires Carlos. This kid is always the first one to arrive at the training ground and the last one to leave the training ground. It is obvious that this hard-working young man uses such hard work and hard work to
His attitude weakened his identity as Li Ang's brother-in-law to the greatest extent. He wanted to tell everyone that he was able to win the main position only through his own efforts.
After the Christmas dinner, the team officially disbanded and the players began to enjoy about a week of Christmas vacation.
***********
Leon did not stay in Milan for Christmas, he took Alice back to China the next day.
In the summer, because he had just taken over as the head coach of Inter Milan and had too many things to be busy with, Li Ang did not return to China. In total, he did not return home for a year and a half.
Now that Inter Milan is on the right track according to his plan, Li Ang also took a break from his busy schedule and took a few days to go home and see his parents.
Of course, the most important reason is that he wants to take Alice home to meet his parents. He and Alice have known each other and have been in love for two years. After New Year's Day, Li Ang will be thirty years old. At thirty, the family
He has been urging him to get married, and Li Ang has also begun to consider personal marriage issues.
On the night of the team's Christmas dinner, when he returned to the apartment, Li Ang took out the diamond ring he had prepared, got down on one knee and proposed to Alice.
The beautiful girl was inexplicably surprised and shed tears of joy. Both of them loved each other and were sincere in their feelings. Li Ang's proposal was naturally a success.
Then came this trip back to China. Since he had decided to get married, Li Ang naturally wanted to bring Alice back to meet his parents. Love is a matter between two people, but marriage is not just a matter between two people.
Needs approval and blessing from parents.
The plane was about to land at the Capital International Airport. Li Ang held Alice's hand. He could feel Alice's nervousness.
After accepting Li Ang's proposal, Alice was surrounded by happiness. Apart from joy, she also knew the significance of accompanying Li Ang to China. She had been a little nervous because she didn't know whether Li Ang's parents would accept and like her.
.
A marriage between two people will be happiest if it has the blessing and approval of their elders.
Alice simply couldn't imagine what she would do if Leon's parents didn't agree with them being together.
"Don't worry, Alice, my parents are both very gentle. They will definitely like you." Li Ang said to Alice, "You are so beautiful and kind, no one will dislike you.
"
Hearing what Li Ang said, Alice's nervousness was relieved.
***********
Li Ang did not stop in the capital and transferred directly to the Capital Airport to fly to his hometown.
After more than two hours of flight, the tired two people finally arrived at Li Ang's hometown.
Li Ang's cousin Li Xiao drove a commercial car to pick him up at the airport. When he saw the legendary beautiful sister-in-law, Li Xiao was stunned and secretly gave Li Ang a thumbs up. Li Ang raised his eyebrows proudly, and he finally
The proud thing is not the championship trophy on the football field, but being able to find a beautiful, kind-hearted girl like Alice who loves him deeply.
Before arriving at home, Li Ang's cell phone rang. It was a landline call from Beijing.
Li Ang was always unwilling to pay attention to strange calls, so he directly pressed the call.
However, a minute later, the call came again.
Li Ang frowned. When he returned to China this time, he mainly wanted to discuss his marriage to Alice with his family, and also to relax and unwind. He really didn't want to be interviewed by any media or disturbed by anyone.
"It's better to answer the call," Alice persuaded.
Li Ang answered the phone.
"Hello, is this Mr. Li Ang?" There was a middle-aged man's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Hello, I am, who are you?"
"I take the liberty of calling, please Haihan." The middle-aged man looked very polite, "I am Chairman Xie's assistant Chen Bibi."
Answer Chairman?!
Which one is this?
Then, Li Ang's expression became strange. He remembered who this person was, Xie Yalong, the full-time vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association. Well, this is also the chairman, Chairman Xie.
***********
Li Ang frowned. He really didn't want to have anything to do with the Football Association, especially Chairman Xie Yalong. This was a Football Association leader who knew nothing about football, but claimed to be very knowledgeable and had a strong desire for power.
Xie Yalong became the head of the Football Association in February this year. From then until his resignation in 2009, more than a dozen coaches were dismissed for various reasons. Arima Yoshiyuki said he was ill and gave up, while Domansky cited family
Jia Xiuquan was fired for adhering to professional ethics, etc. All of these revealed only one piece of information, which is that Xie Yalong wants to create a company where he has the right to speak and can turn his hands for clouds and rain anytime, anywhere.
The Football Association is looking for a scapegoat. The price Chinese football has paid for this is the regression of the national men's and women's football teams. China, once a strong team in Asia, has completely reduced to a third-rate role. This has nothing to do with Xie Yalong's stupid policies.
The most distressing thing for the Chinese people is that Xie Yalong single-handedly eliminated the "Super Platinum Generation" of the Dutch World Youth Championship. In March 2005, Krauchen coached the "08 Stars" and then led the team to participate in the Dutch World Youth Championship.
The performance at the World Youth Championship was remarkable. Not only was the game smooth and beautiful, but the final result could also be called a breakthrough. However, because the senior management of the Football Association (actually Xie Yalong) felt that the old German man had a stubborn temper and was difficult to discipline, in the end, Crowe
Chen was dismissed because he was old and comatose. This was a big blow to the "08 Stars" who were aiming to build an Olympic team at the time. Although Dui took over after several rounds of changes, judging from the team's stability and style
, Xie Yalong's dismissal of Crouchen was definitely a stupid and wrong decision. The handling of this matter showed Xie Yalong's superstition of excessive power.
Xie Yalong was an out-and-out literary youth when he was a student, but track and field changed this person who dreamed of making word games. Therefore, Xie Yalong’s literary complex in his bones had to be displayed in a new way. Therefore, his national-level players can often listen to
Come to Xie Yalong's passionate poem recitation. The most sensational effect of the Dragon King's poem was after the national football team's defeat in the Asian Cup. On July 18, 2007, the Chinese national team led by Zhu Guanghu suffered a 0-3 defeat to Uzbekistan and missed the Asian Cup. 8
After the war, Xie Yalong recited the poem written by the anti-Japanese hero Ji Hongchang before he was executed: I wish I could die resisting the Japanese, but I will be ashamed of it today; the country is broken like this, why should I regret it?
An anti-Japanese poem was used by Xie Yalong as a slogan to reprimand the team for its downturn. After being criticized overwhelmingly by the media, Xie Yalong did not stop. Since then, he has staged poetry recitals many times. For a fan who can't even distinguish his own role
You can't expect a person who shows off his not-so-excellent literary talent to lead Chinese football to any progress. It would be a blessing if he doesn't regress.
Later, this man even ordered to block CCTV. The Football Association has been in the habit of blocking media for a long time, but this was the first time it had blocked a media with such high authority as CCTV. The cause of the incident was that the guest of CCTV's "Football Night" column appeared on the program
Xie Yalong was given a failing grade when he was graded. Such nonsensical reasons for the ban caused constant public outrage, and the Football Association had to lift the ban. But the matter showed the stupidity of the Football Association from beginning to end.
***********
In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the National Olympic team played at home. This was Xie Yalong's political achievements during his term. Therefore, Xie Yalong attached great importance to the Olympic strategy. After determining the Olympics as the focus, Xie Yalong even supported the National Olympics on the road to 2008 at the expense of the league.
One of them was the great north-south division plan that was ridiculed by the media and fans. After deciding to bet on the Olympics, in order to avoid conflicts of interest with the club, Xie Yalong proposed the north-south division of the league. Although it was ultimately rejected by the leaders, Xie Yalong's nature of not understanding football was exposed.
Undoubtedly, his bureaucratic style of pursuing political achievements is also reflected.
In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the women's football team suffered a disastrous defeat. At the 2008 Olympic Games summary meeting for the Chinese women's football team, the players all made written summary reports as required. Some players could not bear the fate of being eliminated and cried on the spot. The scene was very touching.
But in this atmosphere, Xie Yalong, the last speaker of the Chinese Football Association, broke the situation and accused the Chinese women's football team of being a typical negative team with "no fighting spirit and no ability." He used the Brazilian team as an example to educate Chinese players: "
The Brazilian team is so skilled and has so many big names, but they go to the hotel gym to practice strength training at 11 o'clock in the evening. When have you ever practiced?"
Xie Yalong, who became more and more angry as he talked, came up with a professional term-"akis psoas muscle". He pointed out that the most important muscle group in the Chinese women's football team is the "akis psoas muscle", but the girls did not know that this muscle part he mentioned was located.
where.
In modern football, it is very urgent and necessary to exercise the "akis psoas muscles". Fighting, controlling the ball, passing, shooting, kicking... all do not require the powerful "akis psoas muscles" as a solid backing. Football players from various countries
Not only do they insist on putting their hands on their hips to exercise the "akimbo muscles" in daily training, but they still dare not slack off in the official competition and take precious time out of their busy schedule to strengthen the "akimbo muscles."
From a professional point of view, Xie Yalong is right. He who used to be in charge of the track and field center is definitely an expert in this field. However, women's football girls don't know what this unique term means. Many girls think of iliopsoas muscle.
It became "akipsoas muscle". Or, they heard "iliopsoas muscle", but they didn't feel that "akipsoas muscle" was as easy to pronounce. When a reporter from the women's football team asked about the summary meeting, they said "akipsoas muscle" smoothly.
Not to mention women's football girls, at least 95% of reporters who cover football have never heard of "iliopsoas". Put this name in front of them, 99% of reporters can't pronounce "iliac" accurately
.So, in a state of chaos, the "akimbo muscle" appeared openly in major media and the Internet... causing a carnival of public opinion.
***********
Xie Yalong didn't know where he heard about the masculinization of women's football. How can it be masculine? Xie Yalong slapped his thigh: Find a coach for the men's team. So, Pei Encai became the head coach of the Chinese women's football team.
People all over the world know the truth that "a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless there is a male and a female." Back then, the Liverpool team had two head coaches. As a result, the team became worse and worse and became a joke. But Xie Yalong chose to give the Chinese man
After getting a head coach and then a head coach, he didn't believe that two male tigers could not be tolerated in the same mountain. He believed that Duy and Folado could unite as brothers. The result? The two coaches fought openly and secretly, and the players were at a loss what to do.
Shortly after Duy was eliminated, the Chinese Olympic team welcomed the Australian team in a warm-up match. In the first half, the Chinese Olympic team was at a complete disadvantage. Since both teams were participating in the Olympics, the players wanted to avoid injuries, so fighting during the game did not count. Intense. In the 80th minute of the second half, Zhao Xuri caught the ball in the penalty area and scored a goal. The Olympic team also relied on this goal to narrowly defeat the opponent. However, the fans' complaints against Xie Yalong did not change because the team dominated or won. The entire game, There were no less than ten calls for Xie Yalong to be dismissed from get out of class. After the game, Xie Yalong shamelessly said in an interview that the fans’ dismissal was a lash for his work...
In short, Jie Yalong is a pit, a huge pit. Li Ang does not want to have anything to do with the Chinese Football Association, let alone the current Chinese Football Association with Jie Yalong.
Xie Yalong's call had only one main meaning: he wanted to hire Li Ang as the technical general consultant of the Chinese men's national football team.
Li Ang was confused. He knew that the current head coach of the Chinese men's football team was Zhu Guanghu. Now that he has a head coach, why would he have such a technical general consultant? Not to mention that he is now the head coach of Inter Milan and cannot take on both roles.
Two positions, let’s talk about the position of general technical consultant. What does it do? At that time, will his words be effective, or will Zhu Guanghu’s words be effective?
Li Ang is not a fool. After a little thought, he understands that the purpose of the Football Association is to get him as a mute land public servant. What they want is his reputation, and Xie Yalong, who has a strong desire for power, must understand Li Ang's tough character. It is impossible.
Li Ang was asked to coach, but due to Li Ang's current prestige and the shouts of the fans, he had to pretend to be a technical general consultant to fool the fans.
Li Ang sneered. He was too lazy to get involved in this mess, and he would not allow the Football Association to fool him.
Therefore, Li Ang directly declined the invitation to meet the chairman, saying bluntly that he was now the head coach of Inter Milan and was not suitable to hold two jobs, and he did not have enough energy.
Then, the other party said very politely, "I'm sorry to bother you," etc.
***********
Damn it, Li Ang cursed after hanging up the phone. Obviously, the other party was just a formality. It is conceivable that if the fans make trouble again, Chairman Xie will have something to say. It’s not that they didn’t invite Li Ang, it’s because Li Ang is busy with work and can’t leave.
Body, refused and so on...
Humph, it’s all a bureaucratic trick applied to competitive sports. It’s surprising that Chinese football can do well in the hands of such people.
Then, seeing Alice's worried look, Li Ang smiled and said it was nothing, just a boring phone call from a boring person.
After this incident, it's good that he can get rid of the mess of the Chinese Football Association for the time being, and there will be no intersection in a short time.
Li Ang took Alice into his arms. He had brought his lover back to discuss the marriage. It was a big happy event. Those messy things had nothing to do with him in the first place, so why bother with them.
