In the past, after meetings of the Dragon Team, everyone would basically come out in small groups, chatting and laughing, creating a harmonious scene. However, today, the atmosphere was particularly dull. Everyone, including Zhang Sheng, was looking at each other.
No expression.
The heads of various departments returned to their posts, and Zhang Sheng returned to his office, where the members of the coaching staff were already waiting for him.
The players all have a holiday today, but the coaching staff does not. There is still a league game to be played in two days. Everyone is preparing for this game. Although the game is at home, the opponent is also a weak team like Changchun Yatai.
Compared with other departments of the club, everyone on the coaching staff supports him, including the foreign assistant coaches in the team. After all, Zhang Sheng has absolute authority in this team.
"I've heard about it." He Lijun asked happily.
Not wanting to put too much pressure on the coaching staff, Zhang Sheng responded with a forced smile: "Yes, I will submit the proposal to the superiors next."
Everyone else in the coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief. Only Jiang Peng, who was most familiar with Zhang Sheng, saw the clue - this matter is not that simple!
After the routine pre-game preparation meeting, everyone was preparing to go home to rest, when Jiang Peng called Zhang Sheng.
"Isn't this a difficult thing to handle? Isn't it as simple as our club?" Jiang Peng asked with concern, "Our own club, no matter what you say, we believe it no matter what. The problem is, it's hard to say outside."
Zhang Sheng shook his head helplessly: "This time, we are not all on the same page, and it was me who forced it."
Jiang Peng said with relief: "I have a solution."
"Oh?" Zhang Sheng glanced at Jiang Peng doubtfully.
While sorting out the information in his hand, the latter said: "I haven't thanked you for a long time, Professor. Let's go visit tonight?"
Zhang Sheng's reaction was also quick: "Have you told his old man about this?"
"Yes. After you mentioned this to me, I have been thinking about it. The domestic environment is too hot now. It makes me a little panicked. I heard that a lot of funds and bosses are running into the circle. Players and coaches are
They have become the meat and potatoes." Jiang Peng looked helpless, "In this period of time, there are countless people who have come to me to ask me to be the head coach and asked me to help poach people from the Longteng team. The price they are offering, you can't
Dare to think.”
Zhang Sheng had heard about these things. He smiled teasingly: "Why, a boss has taken a fancy to you. How much can you do?"
"Don't tell me, my salary is not much lower than yours." Jiang Peng rolled his eyes at Zhang Sheng, "Furthermore, several bosses have said that if I go over, if I can bring a few players from the Dragons, they will be considered as substitutes.
Even if you are a player from the youth team of the second team, you can give me this number if you bring one."
Seeing Jiang Peng's extended finger, Zhang Sheng, who had not taken it seriously just now, was a little shocked: "One hundred thousand?"
"Exactly, 100,000." Jiang Peng replied triumphantly, "If you can help connect a first-team substitute player, I will give you 1 million, and the second-line team's main player will be 100,000! And promise me, I will just connect them.
Responsible for public relations and payment of liquidated damages."
"They do know that they can't poach the main players of the first team." Zhang Sheng still mocked.
"They do." Jiang Peng was also proud of the status of the Longteng players. "But through this incident, I finally know that good players nowadays are really valuable."
"So, this salary reduction is not easy to deal with." Zhang Sheng, who was always full of confidence, shook his head again.
Jiang Peng agreed with Zhang Sheng's judgment: "I know it is difficult for you to do, and from your standpoint, there will be more criticism. So it is really inconvenient for you to come forward in this matter. Professor Xie is not like that.
I thought about him at that time, and went to check it out. The old man was also worried about the current situation."
"Thank you very much." Zhang Sheng was very grateful.
"We brothers are still talking about this?" Jiang Peng waved his hands calmly, "The old man and I have an appointment at 8pm. Just don't be late."
"That's for sure." Jiang Peng's plan made the whole thing become clearer, and Zhang Sheng's thinking became more vivid, "The old man doesn't have any other hobbies, he just loves fishing. It happened that last time we led a team to Japan, we got a
I put on Shimara’s fishing rod and said I’d send it to the old man sometime, so this time it’s just the right time.”
After receiving Zhang Sheng's confirmation, Jiang Peng showed no signs of sloppiness: "Teacher, um, I'm Jiang Peng. I'm going to your place for dinner tonight. I haven't eaten the food cooked by my wife for a long time, and I'm really hungry. Uh-huh.
, Zhang Sheng will also come. Okay, okay. As before, we will be there on time for dinner."
"We agreed, let's go there together in the evening." Jiang Peng shook his phone towards Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng looked at his watch: "It's almost 12 o'clock, why don't you come to my house for a meal today at noon. By the way, the two of us will also discuss how to talk to Teacher Xie in the evening."
Jiang Peng also went to Zhang Sheng's house for dinner. It was not until Zhang Sheng went abroad and the two of them got married that the frequency became less frequent. The latter did not show any politeness: "Then I will report to the leaders at home. Today.
With good luck, I got two meals."
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Sheng and Jiang Peng, who had been discussing their arguments at home for a long time, went directly to Jiangti's family area with plans and gifts.
Professor Xie Chaozhong, who had been waiting at home for a long time, was very happy. After welcoming the two of them in, he joked: "Zhang Sheng. You came to my door and brought something over. You are preparing to bribe me. It seems that tonight's meal will
It’s not easy, you have come prepared.”
"Teacher, if you say so, I will just take this fishing rod back." Zhang Sheng, who was also very familiar with Professor Xie, pretended to leave.
Professor Xie pointed at Zhang Sheng with a smile: "Your promotion, ever since you entered the school and became my student, you have a temperament that refuses to admit defeat. Jiang Peng, you don't want to imitate him on this point."
Jiang Peng was caught in a dilemma between Zhang Sheng and Professor Xie. He couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only smooth things over: "Teacher, it's time to eat, it's time to eat."
While the three of them were bickering, Mrs. Xie had already put the dishes on the table: "Let's talk about mozzarella, it's time to eat, it's time to eat."
The strong aroma of vegetables on the dinner table also brought everyone to the table.
During the meal, everyone had a tacit understanding not to talk about football-related matters, but instead recalled the prosperous years of Zhang Sheng and Jiang Peng in college.
After drinking and eating, the three of them moved to Professor Xie's study.
"Before you came, Jiang Peng already told me the purpose of your coming." Professor Xie took a sip of tea before saying, "Actually, I have wanted to discuss this issue with you for a long time, but in the past two years, the Dragon Club has been under your control.
Under your leadership, I am living a prosperous life. I have been hesitating whether I should pour cold water on you, but I didn't expect you to realize it yourself."
Jiang Peng also praised Zhang Sheng and Professor Xie: "Of course. When it comes to knowing enough about domestic football, Zhang Sheng is definitely the best. Of course, teacher, you also have a very far-sighted view."
"Forget it, I'm an old man." Professor Xie waved his hand, "Zhang Sheng's contribution to Chinese football in the past few years is obvious to all. It is rare for him to have this awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace. And I am standing on the edge of the circle and watching with cold eyes.
People. It’s from my position that I can see things that others can’t see, or even if they see it, they don’t want to expose it.”
"In the past few years, your Longteng Club has sponsored a lot of funds for our institute, so I have the resources to conduct a more comprehensive survey on domestic youth training. After all, this is what I do." Professor Xie
Starting to get down to business, "Judging from the results of the investigation, the situation is not ideal."
"To sum up, the breadth is not enough, the depth is not enough, and the system is not perfect enough. In the past two years, I have traveled all over the country with my students. Apart from us, Guangdong, which does the best, only has 38 youth teams.
It is a large province with the best economy in the country and a population of over 100 million. Other provinces with better economies are not optimistic either. Shandong, which ranks second, has only 21 teams, and bulk province, which ranks third, has only 13 teams.
."
"Among all the provinces in the country, there are only 6 with more than 10 youth training teams. There are even six provinces that do not even have a youth training team. Our youth training is very different from the traditional powers in Europe and the United States, and even
Our neighbors are worse than poor countries like Vietnam."
"When it comes to the second point of depth, it's even worse. Among the current youth training coaches, most of them are retired and older generation coaches who are still using backward training methods to train players. I went to one in Shanghai
I have seen it at the youth training institution. Throughout the story, the coach made the players fight to the death to practice their footwork." After taking a sip of tea to moisten his mouth, Professor Xie continued, "Let's talk about foreign coaches, okay? This is the only one.
It is even more outrageous. I have seen several so-called foreign coaches who have no real or fake qualifications. They are completely wild."
"How can such a coach teach good young players?"
"There are more policy issues. Just a few months ago, I went to Jingli. It should be said that the selection of Jingli's youth training should be more formal and standardized. As a result, in the selection competition I visited at that time, only the champion team was selected.
4, but other teams that didn’t even make it to the quarterfinals picked two or three.”
"When I asked, it was said that the Football Association's scouts were responsible for the selection, in order to take care of several districts, and at the same time, to show the popularity of youth training to the higher authorities, and to take care of the political performance of each district. Regardless of the results, each district
There are quotas assigned. Only later did I find out that the selected young players can get a so-called second-level certificate."
"This is the same situation in Beijing and Li, let alone the provinces below."
"I know that the policies at the top are good. They have been emphasizing the importance of youth training and paying attention to youth training. I don't know how many directional policy documents have been issued. But when it comes to the specific implementation part, there is no strict one.
There is no system to regulate these, and a bunch of people who are just pretending to be the best are filling the youth ranks, and many good talents have been completely buried."
"These are all supported by the government's investment in youth training. As for the youth training invested by the clubs, except for a few in the Chinese Super League like your Longteng team and Evergrande team, other clubs made it very clear when they communicated with me: the club's money must be seen
As a result, the daily money is not enough for the first team, so the youth training will have to make do with it first. When it comes to the first and second teams, it is even worse, many teams cannot pay their wages in full."
"You are saying that there is no money. Which club signs foreign players and poaches opponents instead of paying them double their salary? To put it bluntly, once the club's boss thinks that the team's performance will not bring any benefits, those foreign players will
Let's go, now that the capable players are getting older, will the entire Chinese football framework fall apart? So now that the policies are good and the clubs are willing to spend money, it is better to make the money given to foreign players and used to poach people compulsory
Get it to the youth training."
After the long talk, Coach Xie, who was a little excited, felt a little tired, so he drank tea slowly, which also allowed Zhang Sheng and Jiang Peng to have a digestion process.
Although Zhang Sheng has attached great importance to youth training in recent years, after all, he does not have the energy to conduct a long-term and large-scale investigation of youth training like Professor Xie, and Professor Xie's unique status within the system is far more competitive than that of peers like Longteng Club.
Investors and outsiders have more advantages, and they can obtain various information from more channels.
"We can only do it step by step." In recent years, what Zhang Sheng has seen is that the country has strengthened its efforts in youth training. The atmosphere of youth training in the market is gradually getting better. The Longteng team has trained a large number of young game players.
Thinking that there are many problems in the actual implementation process, "That's why I came to see you to see how to fundamentally change the role of money in Chinese football."
"You are right. If you and Jiang Peng don't come to me about this matter, I will come to you in the next few days." Professor Xie said solemnly, "During this time, the Football Association is formulating a plan.
It will be realized in 2022. Let’s call it the Chinese Football 2022 Revitalization Plan. As for the youth training, they found me and are ready to ask for our opinions. This is a good opportunity to put forward our opinions.”
