The relationship between the Football Association and the national brand is a bit like the relationship between parents and children. There is often a phenomenon of "poor children becoming masters early", and there is also a phenomenon of "spoiling leads to rebellious children". For example, in Lao Shen's 81 National Olympics, when Lao Shen
When I led the 81 National Youth Team, they were unknown. They had no food or clothing for more than 20 training games. It was not until the Hong Kong Future Football Cup, a small loss to Brazil and a big victory over Argentina, that the outside world was in an uproar. It was also still
For the Chinese women's football team in 1996, who would have thought that Sun Wen and the others, who won the Women's World Cup runner-up, could hardly even raise the money for air tickets? All they had in their luggage was a training uniform?
This phenomenon can be viewed from two sides. The more difficult the environment, the more united the team is and the more they can work together. Being ignored means that there is no external interference, and the coaching staff and players can settle down and take things seriously.
Preparations for the game. On the other hand, the Football Association's lack of attention means that the Football Association's intervention is relatively small...
It cannot be said that the Football Association is counterproductive, but there is a difference in understanding between parents and children. Parental interference can usually set the bottom line for children, ensure that no accidents occur, and avoid risks as much as possible, but at the same time it also restricts
On the other hand, if parents do not interfere, the child may stumble when going out, or he may get angry and grab a stumbling block. At first glance, huh? Cat's eyes!
The Football Association's support for this national youth team is not strong. Currently, the national team is competing in the Olympics, the national team's World Cup qualifiers and the Asian Cup are the top priorities. Even fans do not pay much attention to the youth team's games. Especially
In China, it was heard that Wang Ai would not participate in this Toulon Cup, and no one cared.
After Wang Ai and the other three arrived, Chen Tao and Dai Qinhua quickly returned to the team for normal training. Wang Ai followed them for two days, and also played in training matches to get used to it. He realized that this national youth team might also become a blockbuster, and it was of that type.
The "early boss" type, the atmosphere in the team is very good. "Star players" such as Mao Jianqing, Chen Tao, Hao Junmin, and Dai Qinhua have no airs, and they are tactically valued by the coaching staff and recognized by other players. In short, the team is full of joy
The breath of prosperity.
Wang Ai secretly had fun, which surprised the Football Association.
Sure enough, at 18.30 on the evening of June 1st, China's 85 National Youth Team defeated the South American powerhouse Colombia 2:0! Colombia was not tempered throughout the game. It was just that before Chen Tao came on the stage, the National Youth Team always lacked outstanding midfield organization.
Performance, or the lack of core players who can take the ball. Although the National Youth Team is skilled in coordination and has good personal physical and technical skills, opportunities are created more with Zhu Ting's perseverance and diligence, rather than with wisdom.
However, this is not bad. When Chen Tao came on the field, the organization of the National Youth League improved significantly. He scored twice in a row and the players played much more easily.
Wang Ai looked on from the sidelines with his hands on his shoulders and smiled. He didn't pay attention to the few Chinese reporters' shots. Instead, he carefully observed the team's performance, especially the midfield and frontcourt. He saw the catalyst created by Chen Tao.
After seeing the effect, Wang Ai nodded secretly: Don't blame this fool for competing with him, his level has improved.
After watching this game, Wang Ai felt relieved. Anyway, he was participating in the war, which would only be three group matches at most. He would not be able to participate in such a critical stage as the knockout rounds. Looking at the current situation, there should be no problem for the Chinese team to qualify from the group stage.
.
After feeling relaxed, Wang Aicai felt waves of fatigue, and in the blink of an eye, another summer came. It was as if the last summer was just around the corner. Last year, his summer also started in Turin. Unknowingly, this summer's Turin night
Several days have passed.
In the hotel room, Wang Ai had the Champions League championship gold medal on one side and the European Golden Boy's golden ball on the other. The AFC awards ceremony has also been moved to the end of the year. It is estimated that Wang Ai will win the Champions League bonus this year.
It is possible to win the Asian Footballer of the Year again.
Wang Ai counted the gains and losses of this season with his fingers. He won a world championship with Gao Lin, Mao Jianqing, Wang Yongpo, Hao Junmin, Feng Xiaoting and the other 86 national juniors; with Han Peng, Guo Liang, Wang Yun, Zhao Xuri and the others 83
The National Youth Team won the World Youth Championship runner-up; together with Qu Bo, Dewei, Xu Liang, and Zhang Yaokun, they won tickets for the Athens Olympics; and with Lao Hao, they are also progressing relatively smoothly in the World Cup qualifiers. Then there is Deportivo La Coruna.
of the Triple Crown.
In short, this year has been an extraordinary year for both individuals and groups. A huge sense of satisfaction ripples in my heart, but I also feel mentally exhausted. So Wang Ai plans to have a few days of fun and relax in Paris. The next day Wang Ai
He took the initiative to ask for leave from Yin Tiesheng, and Director Yin very considerately granted the leave. Although the two met for the first time, Wang Ai's performance this year has been in the media almost every day. Even an ordinary fan can know everything about it. How can he not be tired?
Suddenly, Wang Ai, who had nothing to do, was looking around at the scenery of the Paris suburbs outside the National Youth Training Ground. The desire to play in his heart could no longer be restrained. Just like after the college entrance examination, the boy's nature was repressed.
too long.
It happened that Constance hadn't left yet, so Wang Ai dragged Constance and started to have fun all over Paris. Although Wang Ai didn't understand French, Wang Ai was proficient in English, German, and Spanish, and was almost unimpeded in France.
.The Louvre, Notre Dame de Paris, the Eiffel Tower, the Palace of Versailles, and the Sacré-Coeur were all visited in three days.
It was obviously not the first time for Constance to come to France. She had acted as a tour guide for Wang Ai many times, but with Wang Ai's unrestrained performance, the little girl slowly lowered her guard and began to laugh unbridled. On the Eiffel Tower, the two
People were sitting on a deck chair, facing the scenery of Paris, blowing the cool wind, and chatting nonsense. In front of the portrait of Mona Lisa in the Louvre, the two of them made wild guesses on the topic "Why is she smiling?"
Angry, Wang Ai said she must have laughed because she saw Leonardo da Vinci was too ugly, and Constance said she must have laughed because she was thinking about going shopping on the weekend.
At the two religious sites of Notre Dame and Sacred Heart Cathedral, Wang Ai quietly discovered that Constance didn't seem to have any faith. When Wang Ai wandered around looking around without respect, Constance was almost the same.
After coming to Europe for four years, Wang Ai also discovered that many times ordinary people in Europe regard religion as a cultural custom, and there are still very few truly paranoid and fanatical believers.
Although Wang Ai has no prejudice against religion, it would be quite annoying if you meet a fanatical believer who urges you to convert every day, let alone Wang Ai's own beliefs. Huang Xin and Shi Wenjun have already joined the party, and Wang Ai has joined the party.
Ai is not old enough to be exposed to this aspect for the time being, and it is inconvenient to be abroad, but Xu Qinglian is already a reserve party member. In such a circle of friends, if Constance, a fanatic, sneaks into this circle of friends, everyone will be uncomfortable.
