The 2002 national football squad actually highlighted the very ambitious ideas of Chinese footballers at that time.
Although Gao Yao's selection is very controversial, there may not be any inside story.
There may be only one reason for this.
That was because the upper echelons of the Football Association at that time had unrealistic illusions about the performance of the national football team.
Why do you say that?
Gao Yao, like Li Tie, is a defensive midfielder and the iron gate in front of the defense.
Such people are very popular in international football in this era. For example, Real Madrid's Makelele and AC Milan's Gattuso.
Having such a player with abundant physical energy and tough style sweeping back and forth in the midfield will greatly relieve the pressure on the defense.
In other words, we can try to ensure that players in the frontcourt are less likely to return to defense.
Because this person has taken care of all the defensive work, the players in the frontcourt can attack with confidence and boldness.
As long as there is no pressure on the offense, isn't there hope for victory?
This is the reason why Gao Yao appears in the national team.
Once Li Tie is injured, Gao Yao, who is also the defensive midfielder, can step in and continue to complete the task of sweeping. Otherwise, the formation needs to be rearranged to increase the thickness of the midfield.
As a result, there will be insufficient offensive players in the frontcourt, and the chance of winning will be slim.
The root of everything is that many people think that the Chinese team can win in the World Cup...
Only Xiao Qian and Milu understood that it was impossible to win the World Cup with the strength of the Chinese team.
There are no tricks in the professional competitive field. If you are not strong enough, you are not strong enough. If you cannot play as badly as South Korea, then there is no hope of winning.
Milu's idea is more realistic.
He feels that as long as the national football team can score one goal and make zero breakthroughs in the World Cup, he will have accomplished his mission.
But the pressure on him from all aspects was too great, which made him helpless.
Now with Xiao Qian's support, he can see hope of achieving his goal.
If scoring goals is just the goal, Zheng Zhi is obviously more suitable than Gao Yao.
A midfielder who can attack and defend well is obviously much more effective in revitalizing the overall offense and defense than a pure defensive player.
Both Milu and Xiao Qian know very well that the national football team cannot defend in the World Cup, and losing the ball is inevitable. But to score goals while losing the ball requires specific and sufficient attack methods.
It was based on this idea that Xiao Qian recommended Zheng Zhi to Milu.
Although Zheng Zhi has not participated in the qualifiers, his performance in the league during this period is obvious to all, so being selected as a substitute player is actually within the public's acceptance range.
At the same time, Zheng Zhi's selection has another advantage, that is, removing Zhang Enhua will make things easier.
There are a total of eight defenders in the national team roster. Without Zhang Enhua, there are only seven left, which will greatly affect the head coach's formation.
Zheng Zhizhi plays both midfielder and defender positions at the same time, which makes him an effective supplement.
As a result, another spot became vacant.
"My suggestion for another spot is to give it to Xie Hui. His performance in the Bundesliga is very good, and maybe he can help us open the door to scoring goals."
The three forwards of the national team are Hao Jianguo, Su Maozhen and Yang Chen.
These three people are almost unstoppable main players in today's Chinese football world, and no one can shake their status.
Although Xiao Qian wanted to kick Hao Jianguo out according to his original intention, he cannot let the future turmoil determine his current choice, otherwise the controversy will be even greater than if Gao Yao was selected.
However, these three forwards have achieved nothing in the World Cup and have no outstanding performances.
Xiao Qian simply thought of adding Xie Hui, who performed well in Europe this year.
In fact, regardless of reputation, only looking at recent performance, the best performer is Xie Hui. After all, he can compete for the top scorer in the Bundesliga 2, which is enough to show his strength.
In his previous life, Xie Hui gave up the opportunity to perform in the Bundesliga 2 in order to play in the World Cup. As a result, he was ultimately not selected for the national football squad and his condition completely declined, which directly affected his entire career.
Now Xiao Qian decided to help him make up for his regrets.
After hearing Xiao Qian's thoughts, Milu felt really relieved.
How great it would be if all the people in charge were like Xiao Qian!
After the two agreed, Xiao Qian made another suggestion to Milu.
"Bola, I suggest you resign immediately after the World Cup."
Because he entered the World Cup, Milu became the god of Chinese fans. What happened next caused him to encounter a lot of doubts.
Rather than letting him encounter the subsequent turmoil, it would be better to retreat bravely.
"Do you have any specific plans for me?"
As expected of the shrewd Milu, he immediately saw Xiao Qian's purpose.
Xiao Qian didn't hide it from him either.
"I would like to invite you to be the youth training director of Black Province."
Xiao Qian gave a detailed briefing to Milu about Heilongjiang's football development plan, which made Milu dizzy.
"Wow, this is really a crazy plan. But it's fun and challenging. Xiao, I accept your invitation."
Milu extended his hand to Xiao Qian, and the two reached an agreement.
After completing the meeting with Milu, Xiao Qian returned home.
In order to welcome her two children back, Xu Mingxia specially left work early and prepared a table of delicious food.
"This time you have done a good job. You got rich first and then got rich later. You are willing to fight for the interests of the people and live up to the expectations of our elders."
Li Zhen was serious in speech, but what he said was already the greatest compliment.
On the contrary, Li Jianguo was overjoyed.
"Now everyone is praising you, but don't be proud and keep working hard, you know? Since you have already invested, then do your best with all your heart."
During this period of time, what Xiao Qian and Li Qingjue did had greatly embarrassed their father.
At the last meeting, the No. 2 leader personally praised me. This is the greatest compliment.
"No matter how well we do, it is only because of your wise guidance, grandpa, and the endless care of dad and mom. Without your hard work, we would not be able to thrive."
Xiao Qian's skill in flattery was so perfect that it made the three elders laugh endlessly.
"You brat, if you do well, you do well. Can we still take your credit?"
Li Zhen was concerned about another issue.
"Can the football revitalization plan you launched in Black Province really succeed?"
Xiao Qian was originally thinking about how to speak and mention football, but she didn't expect Li Zhen, an old fan, to speak first.
A good opportunity is rare. If Xiao Qian doesn't seize it, wouldn't it be a failure?
While thinking about it, his face suddenly turned sad.
"Grandpa, it will take at least ten or eight years for the things in Black Province to be effective. But for our national football team, it may be difficult this time..."
Xiao Qian started to apply eye drops.
If he wants to interfere with the national football team's roster, he cannot do it with his energy.
But it doesn't matter, there are people who can do it.
Sure enough, after listening to Xiao Qian's account, Li Zhen was trembling with anger.
"Nonsense, absolutely nonsense!"
The old man was so angry that he couldn't even eat his dinner, so he cursed and made a phone call.
Behind him, Xiao Qian curled up, smiling like a weasel.
With such a giant Buddha pressed down, can Milu's pressure still be considered pressure?
Li Jianguo saw everything and was so angry that he hit him on the head.
"Those who are doing anything, don't forget your job. Let me tell you, the country has set clear goals regarding the film market. You have to give me a good face, otherwise, I won't be able to spare you."
Xiao Qian was confused and didn't know what made Li Jianguo so popular.
Li Jianguo revealed the information to him.
"China Film Group's Han Siping has joined forces with Zhang Yimou to start a blockbuster project. Speaking of which, it was you who pioneered the blockbusters in our Chinese movies. You can't lose your status and let others surpass you."
Zhang Guoshi is going to make a blockbuster movie?
A clip from "Hero" flashed through Xiao Qian's mind, not to mention, she was really nervous for a moment.
The next day, he went to China Film Studio to visit Han Siping.
"Yes, we plan to make blockbusters. The domestic film market has developed well in the past two years, and the annual box office has repeatedly hit new highs. However, our research found that most of the box office has been taken away by Hollywood movies. If we want to regain the box office
If we want to take the lead, we must create our own blockbusters.”
China Film and Dongying are strategic partners, and Han Siping has nothing to hide from Xiao Qian.
At that time, Zhang Guoshi's "Hero" had already entered the filming stage, and the momentum was very huge.
After all, there are many big-name actors from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and even Starlight's Yang Zhen plays the leading role of Wu Ming.
"Although your action movie plan is very exciting, the production scale is still not high enough for a single film. Haha, this time, we, China Film and Television, took the lead."
Speaking of this plan, Han Siping was extremely happy.
After all, in the Chinese film industry, it is really not easy to get ahead of Xiao Qian in doing things.
He seems to have seen that through "Hero" China Film will surpass Dongying and Starlight in one fell swoop and become the leader in the domestic film industry.
Faced with his complacency, Xiao Qian curled her lips.
If he hadn't gone to Northeast China to make investments, how could he have allowed China Film to be the founder of the blockbuster era?
But there is no other way. If you miss it, you will be wrong. But as for who can make a good blockbuster, that is not yet known.
Since Li Jianguo gave the death order, Xiao Qian had to do it no matter what.
"Okay, this time let's have a dispute between gentlemen. Let's see which one is better, your China Film and Television blockbuster, or our Dongying and Starlight's blockbuster."
