"Su Yun, your reputation has greatly increased recently."
After staying at home for a few days, Su Yun went out to meet his former friends. Of course the first person he met was Fa Xiao Zhu Shengxiu.
Zhu Shengxiu is now more mature than before.
After not seeing each other for a year and a half, Zhu Shengxiu's majesty was even greater. Su Yun knew that in the past year and a half, Zhu Shengxiu's career was getting better and better, and his reputation in the Chinese press was getting louder and louder.
"Lao Zhu, I have to thank you for this."
It would have been impossible for Su Yun, a small head coach in the English League C, to have such a reputation in mainland China if not for the help of Zhu Shengxiu.
"Thank you for nothing. Come on, Su Yun, I will take it upon myself to bring you a friend today."
"Hmm? Friend?"
Su Yun was just a little surprised, but he didn't blame Zhu Shengxiu for making his own decision. Su Yun just wanted to talk to his old friends today. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a year and a half. So Zhu Shengxiu brought someone else with him, which surprised Su Yun.
But also looking at the relationship between Su Yun and Zhu Shengxiu, although it is a bit abrupt, there is no problem.
To put it in common terms, two people have to wear a pair of pants since childhood.
"Well, he is a reporter. If you know him, it will only be good for you, and there will be no harm."
Zhu Shengxiu led Su Yun in, and Su Yun saw a young man from a distance.
Is a young man.
Judging from the ages of Su Yun and Zhu Shengxiu, the person in front of them is indeed a young man. He looks like he is only in his mid-twenties.
"Su Yun, his name is Zhang Liang, and he is a reporter from Sports Weekly. Zhang Liang, in front of him is Su Yun, who was famous not long ago."
"Brother Su, hello."
Zhang Liang didn't look like a budding reporter at all, and he shook hands with Su Yun confidently.
"Hello."
"Okay, now that we all know each other, it will be easy. Come on, Su Yun. Zhang Liang is going to give you an exclusive interview. Zhang Liang is my aunt's child, so you have to cooperate with him."
"Your cousin?"
"Um."
Su Yun laughed dumbly.
No wonder looking at Zhang Liang just now, I felt that young people are too confident. Su Yun does not have many connections in the media circle, but Zhu Shengxiu is different. Many of Zhu Shengxiu's fathers and relatives are heavyweights in China's propaganda department.
Zhu Shengxiu's father was the deputy director of the Propaganda Department.
Their family is a very important family in the Chinese media circle.
But Zhang Liang didn't show much awe at all after he came in. Su Yun thought he was a young man at first. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. He didn't expect it to be the child of Aunt Zhu Shengxiu.
"Brother Su, congratulations first. I heard that you are going to become the head coach of Sunderland."
"Thank you. It's just a League One club. It's a team in the second tier of England."
"Okay, okay. What are you two being polite about? Su Yun, just accept the interview with peace of mind. What appears in the media must be the edited version."
Su Yun pointed at Zhu Shengxiu, smiled and shook his head.
Zhang Liang took out a small tape recorder commonly used by reporters.
When he entered work, Zhang Liang's expression became very serious.
"Brother Su, you are the first head coach in the history of Chinese football to coach in Europe. Can you talk about the most intuitive difference between British football and Chinese football."
"Intuitively different?"
Su Yun thought for a while. There were so many different places that Su Yun didn't know what to say.
"Well, let me say a few words from the perspective of a coach. In the UK, coaches have great power. In British football, coaches do not simply lead the team in training and games. Coaches control the team's transfers, and even some coaches
In the club, I stand side by side with the club president and the director of business development. In terms of power, I should say that I have more power than the coaches in Chinese football."
"This is the most intuitive difference that I feel as a head coach."
Zhang Guangming nodded.
Unlike Zhu Shengxiu, Zhang Liang just graduated from graduate school and started working. He is not very familiar with European football.
"So Brother Su, do you think there is a gap between Chinese football and British football? Is the gap big? What is the main gap?"
Although this Zhang Liang graduated from graduate school, he still looks too immature.
The most taboo thing during an interview is to ask several questions at once.
Even when lawyers at the court ask questions, this method of asking questions is prohibited.
But Su Yun didn't blame him. If it were some rookie reporter Su Yun, he would be unhappy, but this is Zhu Shengxiu's cousin after all. He should still give him the face he deserves.
"Yes, British football is currently far ahead of Chinese football. In my opinion, there are two main and most intuitive differences. The first is that our players have too few games. When I was in England,
The minimum number of teams in each league in England is 20. Leagues One, Two and Three each have 24 teams."
There are some things that Su Yun really doesn't want to complain about.
If you don't come to the UK, you will never understand the gap between the two leagues. You will always think that the development trend of the Chinese league is very good.
"For a professional team in English football, playing 40 games in a season is the most basic. If you add those cup matches, playing 50 games in a season is normal. And those strong teams in England even play six games in a season.
There are also ten games. This is the gap."
"Their players play with great intensity in a season. If they are national team players, they play more than 50 or 60 games in a season. Because of this, their players have rich experience and can get
Adequate training. But in our league, a team can play thirty games a year? Many teams only play less than twenty-five games a year. In this way, our players will be included in the national team games.
, there are at most thirty games in a year.”
"The intensity of the competition between the players on both sides is completely different. How could there be no gap?"
Su Yun really never thought about it before.
After arriving in England, I discovered that the competition in the English league is very intense. But the English players also get the best training.
Zhang Liang was very attentive.
Zhang Liang didn't know much about English football. Listening to Su Yun today opened his eyes.
"The second is that the base number is not good. Do you know how many referees are registered in England now? It exceeds 10,000. But can we now have more than 10,000 registered football players? The most intuitive thing about the entire English League is that they have nine
Level 1 leagues. Plus some regional leagues, there are really countless football clubs in England. Therefore, their base of football players is extremely large."
"England's population is not even as large as some of our most populous provinces in China, but they now have more than one million registered football players. The combined number of youth football and adult football players is more than three million. With such a large football population, the number of registered football players is over three million."
Having a few players enter the national team is really striving for excellence. Our country is far behind England in cultivating reserve talents."
As a coach who once dreamed of becoming the head coach of the Chinese national team, Su Yun had a lot to think about after arriving in England.
Especially the issue about the gap between English football and Chinese football.
The two aspects Su Yun mentioned are what Su Yun thinks about the most. China has such a large population and such a vast territory. It is possible to increase the number of clubs in the league. Provinces with large populations such as Henan, Sichuan and Shandong can definitely have more.
club.
And a major sports province like Liaoning can also increase the number of football clubs.
Of course, areas with outstanding economies such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are also capable of supporting more football clubs.
With China's population base and economic development speed, as long as it increases investment, it will definitely catch up with world football. Sometimes Su Yun really wishes he could become the chairman of the Football Association and lead the development of Chinese football.
"Brother Su, do you have any suggestions for the development of Chinese football?"
