Prominence in Football Community

Chapter 95 Return or not?

After the game against Elche, Atletico Madrid will usher in a match against Juventus on December 9th. There is no pressure on Atletico Madrid in this game. Even if they lose the game, Atletico Madrid can still advance to the knockout round of.

It's just that it is possible to become the second in the group and be in a relatively unfavorable position in the knockout draw.

But it's better than not being able to get out of the team, right?

But before this game, Simeone has a very important thing to solve, that is when Gao Zheng will leave the team.

On this issue, the Chinese Football Association and Atletico Madrid are in dispute, and neither is willing to make concessions.

Atletico Madrid believes that the warm-up match on December 21 was not an international A-level event recognized by FIFA. According to regulations, the club can not let people go. And the club, considering their good cooperative relationship with China - including cooperation with Chinese enterprises - is willing to let Gao Zheng leave at this time when it is not necessary to release the player back to the national team, which has already reflected the Atletico Madrid club. Very sincere.

They believed that the Chinese Football Association should not push forward, and asked Gao Zheng to give up one more league game. Atlético Madrid is now ranked second in the league, only one point away from Real Madrid, but also only one point away from being overtaken by Barcelona.

Considering that the Asian Cup itself needs to delay at least three league rounds, which also includes a direct dialogue with Barcelona. Gao Zheng's absence is likely to bring Atletico Madrid very bad results.

Under such a premise, the Chinese Football Association even asked Gao Zheng to play two less league games. As the defending champion of the league, Atlético Madrid, don't they want results and face?

It stands to reason that the contract is signed between the club and the player, and the player's income is all from the club. The national team will not give the player any money except for the bonus of the competition. Moreover, the player was injured while participating in the national team competition, and the club had to pay money to treat him, and at the same time bear all the losses of the player's absence...

And the national team only asks the club to release players when they think they need players. How can there be such a reason in the world?

The national team believes that the Asian Cup is of great significance to the Chinese team. With Gao Zheng, next year's Asian Cup will give the Football Association more ideas. As such a major intercontinental competition, the national team of course requires all members to come together for training. The more organized the lineup, the better the training effect will be.

Playing Palestine is the last warm-up match before the Asian Cup, and it is also the last chance for Perrin to test the lineup and tactics. If Gao Zheng just rushed back to meet the challenge in a hurry, then the warm-up would be of little use.

At the same time, they also believed that for the consideration of the club last season,

They did not recruit Gao Zheng in the final group stage of the Asian Cup. As a result, the Chinese team lost to Iraq 1:3 in the away game. Fortunately, the Chinese team had already qualified at that time. Taking this as an example, the Football Association believes that they also fully respect and take into account the interests of the club, but this time it really happened for a reason. And they also expressed their goodwill. If Atletico Madrid is willing to let people go, then they also promise that they will respect the club's opinion and recruit Gao Zheng less for the warm-up matches that are not very tight in the future.

The Football Association feels that they have great sincerity, but Atletico Madrid don't think so-they didn't recruit the Chinese team to play in the next round of the Asian Cup qualifiers last season, and they didn't benefit from it. Gao Zheng was still playing for Sampdoria at the time. .

The two sides have been arguing over this matter, and it has become the most concerned topic in China.

In the field of public opinion in China, there are two factions on this matter. One faction believes that national interests are above all else. No matter what the reason is, as long as the national team needs it, Gao Zheng should come back and the club should release him. They even believed that Gao Zheng should put pressure on the club, voluntarily expressed his willingness to return to China to compete, and forced the club to release him.

But the other faction believes that everything must be done according to the rules. Since the game against Palestine on the 21st is not an international match day, the club has the right not to let anyone go. Now that the club has agreed to release the player, the Football Association should not push forward and ask the club to release him one week earlier. This faction even brought out old stories to back up their statement - how well Yang Chen played in Frankfurt back then, but because the Chinese Football Association called him back to China for all friendly matches and warm-up matches. Every time he traveled tens of thousands of kilometers back and forth, he was extremely exhausted, which made Yang Chen physically and mentally exhausted. This squeeze of players by the Chinese Football Association also angered Magath, then head coach of Frankfurt, so he put Yang Chen on the bench. Just like that, Yang Chen's good development momentum was interrupted, and everyone knew about his subsequent development.

There are also people who give you popular science. European clubs refuse to let people go back to China to participate in the competition. It is not unheard of before. On October 21 and 28, 2007, the Chinese team had two opponents in the World Cup Asian qualifiers, Myanmar.

Facing the Myanmar team, which was far inferior to its own strength, the Chinese Football Association was on the verge of a formidable enemy, and issued player call-up orders to four European clubs in one breath, hoping to call all four Chinese players who were playing in Europe back to participate in the competition. They are Dong Fangzhuo playing for Manchester United, Zheng Zhi playing for Charlton, Shao Jiayi playing for Cottbus and Yu Hai playing for Waiters.

But because these two games were not match days recognized by FIFA, all four clubs refused to release them. At that time, Zheng Zhi, the core of the national team, was also facing a similar situation as Gao Zheng. His Charlton team had four league games between the 20th and the 29th, so Charlton was determined not to let him go.

In the end, in the absence of all four returned players, the Chinese team still defeated Myanmar 7:0 at home and 4:0 away, reaching the World Cup Asian qualifiers.

Those who quoted this historical material tried to prove to everyone that the Chinese Football Association is not an isolated case of randomly recruiting players in Europe. They don't care about the importance and difficulty of the game. As long as they think it is necessary, they can wave the banner of "winning glory for the country" to force overseas players to return to China to participate in the game.

This incident caused a huge controversy on the Chinese Internet and attracted everyone's attention. More and more people got involved, quarreled with each other, and expressed their positions.

But no one can convince anyone, everyone thinks they are reasonable, and the other party is SB.

This is like the staging between the Chinese Football Association and Atletico Madrid. It is as big as the Yangtze River, almost insurmountable.

Because everyone's butt decides their head, they have a position before they have a point of view. Everyone has a reason, and no one can convince anyone.

That being the case, is it possible for the player himself to stand up and make a statement?

Everyone focused on Gao Zheng.

"Why do you want the handsome guy to express his opinion? Isn't this forcing him to join the team? No matter what he says or does, he will definitely offend the other side, or both sides. I don't think he should be allowed to come back so early to prepare for the game. The Asian Cup. It’s just an Asian Cup. Looking at this battle, I thought I was preparing for the World Cup!” Xiao Yingying started to complain about the debate on the Internet.

Feng Shiyao laughed: "For the current Chinese team, isn't the Asian Cup the World Cup? We won't be able to participate in the real World Cup."

Xiao Yingying pouted and looked at Feng Shiyao: "Sister Feng, aren't you worried about the handsome guy?"

"It's useless for me to worry, he has to face and solve things by himself." Feng Shiyao spread her hands.

"You two really... don't know whether you care about him or not."

"Oh, don't worry about it. Don't look at the arguing on the Internet, but I think it might not be a problem to him at all, right?"

"Why is it not a problem? If he comes back, what if he offends the head coach? When the time comes, put on shoes for him when he goes back. That Simeone made Beckham in the World Cup back then, what a sinister and cunning person! If he doesn't come back, it will be even more serious. If he offends the Football Association and the Chinese fans, his reputation will be bad? Does he want to join the national team in the future?" Xiao Yingying was still very anxious.

Feng Shiyao said calmly: "I think it's not enough to offend the head coach or the Football Association. His strength is there. Whether it is the club or the national team, can he really be banned? I I don’t think everyone is a fool, so they won’t be angry like a child, right? As for what the fans think of him, do you think he is a person who cares a lot about what others think of him?”

Xiao Yingying froze for a moment, remembering what Gao Zheng had said and what he had done. He was the one who said "the mountain is there" and "I am such a dick" in front of the Italian media. For those who do it...

So she laughed: "Although I pay more attention to the news about the handsome guy, it's still Sister Feng who knows him better, hehe..."

Although Gao Zheng has registered social media accounts at home and abroad, he does not speak many times, and he is not a fanatic like Rio Ferdinand. The latter is said to race against time to check Twitter and Facebook.

When the fans on the Internet turned against Yingtian, and everyone scrambled to leave messages under his social media account, hoping that he could stand up and express his opinion, he couldn't see it at all.

But he always escaped - he couldn't hear the voices on the Internet, but someone could convey them to him.

After training at Atletico Madrid, Gao Zheng was surrounded by Chinese reporters at the gate of the Mahadahonda training base.

"Of course I want to fight for the country, and this has never changed." Facing the reporters, Gao Zheng said first, "I have always been proud to wear a jersey with the national flag."

Everyone thought that he was going to express his willingness to return to China early.

Unexpectedly, he followed Gao Zheng's conversation and said: "But I belong to Atletico Madrid Club now, not a free agent, and I respect the club. So about this...you can ask the head coach!"

He kicked the ball to Simeone, and seemed to want to run away from it, refusing to face the problem.

But how can the reporters let him have his way?

Someone chanted: "But Simeone said he doesn't want to let you go early!"

Gao Zheng spread his hands: "He is the boss, so he has the final say."

"Eh?"

A reporter didn't expect Gao Zheng to give his opinion so simply and lightly—the head coach has the final say, doesn't that mean that he won't go back early, and he has to wait until the game against the yellow submarine is over?

In the past few days, there has been an uproar on the Chinese Internet about this issue.

In the end, it was decided with such a sentence?
