The Ball at Your Feet

After the game, at the press conference, Zhao Yaning was also asked to participate together.

This is the first time that Zhao Yaning has appeared at a national team press conference since he became famous, and the domestic reporters have long been ready to interview him.

And after a few routine questions that didn't hurt or itchy, sure enough, someone turned the topic at him.

"Excuse me, you wore the captain's armband during the game. Is this an instruction from the coach or is it your own behavior?"

For this question, Zhao Yaning was robbed of the right to speak by the Football Association officials on the side. "I will answer this question. Zhao Yaning is a talent that the national team focuses on training. He is also the captain of the country. The team’s request is also the result of unanimous selection by the players."

But the reporter was obviously not very satisfied. "But before that, there were rumors that Li Datou would be the next captain of the national team. What is the reason for not letting him be the captain?"

The Football Association officials smiled, "This rumor has a certain basis. Before that, the national team did have such considerations. But the problem is that considering the big head of Li, Zheng Zhi and other players, their Mandarin pronunciation is not standard, leading When the national team plays the oath, it will be less dignified."

Can you make up such a reason? Zhao Yaning couldn't help but want to curse while listening.

Is Mandarin standard, and when has it become one of the criteria for selecting captains for national teams? Can't we make up a better reason?

"What do Zhao Yaning, Li Datou and others think about this?"

"They all support the opinions of superiors."

As Zhao Yaning listened to the continuing questions, he also understood some things. It seems that Xiaoping's behavior has been recognized by his superiors.

Although I don't know who made this decision, Zhao Yaning was still a little excited when he heard this.

It's just such a thing, it can't be decided by a few simple words. Your superiors moved your mouth, we are underneath, but we are in big trouble.

----------------------------

"Does your kid have a brain disease? I told you to ask you to give you the armband to Brother Li, what are you doing to Xiao Zhao? Can't you remember such simple things? What brains?"

During training the next day, in the locker room, Li Xiaoping turned his face to Zhou Haibo.

Although he knew that Li Xiaoping was pretending, Zhou Haibo still felt aggrieved. But he also knows that arguing with Li Xiaoping will definitely not benefit him, "Brother Li, the court is too messy, I didn't hear clearly..."

"I don't even hear this, what are you still playing?"

Li Xiaoping was still cursing, but Li Datou watched him silently, only sneered slightly. No matter how nice it is, the armband is also worn on the arm of your own fellow. After talking for so long, there is nothing practical.

"I don't blame him for this matter." Zhao Yaning stood up by himself, "I asked him to give me the armband."

Since the benefit is to take it by yourself, then take the responsibility yourself.

"Brother Li, I'm the **** in this matter." Zhao Yaning turned to Li's head, "You know, I'm thinking about transferring now. You know, it's not easy to play abroad. If you can become the captain of the national team, If I have a better reputation, I can also ask for more salary. This is my problem, sorry for you."

Li Datou snorted without saying anything. He could give Zhao Yaning the captain's armband, but he would not be satisfied with Zhao Yaning's empty words.

Zhao Yaning also understood his thoughts a little, "I want a high salary, but in fact I want fame, money or something, I don’t care. I’m causing trouble to Brother Li. You said, Brother Li, how can I punish him? That's it."

Li Datou glanced at him, before speaking, Sun Jihe on the side said, "Forget it, it's not easy to mix in foreign countries. If you can help, just help. This armband is not a big deal to you. What's the matter, President Hao doesn't have an armband. Who in our national team would dare to provoke him? The same is true for you, don't care too much."

Everything is light enough. Li Datou raised his eyes, "Xiao Zhao, you want to be the captain, yes, your brother Li is not an unreasonable person, since being a captain is good for you, then you should be, I have no opinion. But next time, again If you have this kind of thing, you have to tell me first, don't play me like a monkey in the dark, and if you do it like this, I will turn my face and deny people."

Li Datou said this to Li Xiaoping, and Zhao Yaning happily agreed.

"Then you will wear that stuff in the future. It will help you. Then I have to know good and bad." Li Datou nodded, "Everyone should help each other. How can I not understand good and bad?"

Zhao Yaning nodded, but he seemed to understand what he said in his heart: This time, I owed him a favor, and I am afraid that I will be in trouble when I pay the bills in the future.

But these things are future things after all.

The things at hand are somewhat more important. For example, the various comments made by the media on the national team surprised Zhao Yaning.

What surprised him most was the discovery that the media praised him more than criticized him for wearing the captain's armband.

This makes him very strange. In his memory, all the things that the national team does not conform to the usual practice will make the city full of storms. This time a young man of himself put on an armband, such an illogical thing, but the media No one made irresponsible remarks.

"Who should wear the captain's armband? Everyone in football has different opinions on this issue. Some people think that the captain's armband should be worn on the oldest elders to teach the team experience; some people think that the captain The armband should be worn on the best players to set an example for the team; some people believe that the captain’s armband should be worn on the players with the most leadership qualities to point the way for the team."

"The captain's armband of our national team can't escape these three methods. But which one is better and which one is better? We don't know. But what we can know is that when wearing the captain's armband on a three There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone who has both the best and the best."

"When Zhao Yaning played in the national team, we saw the possibility of this situation. When it comes to imparting experience, who else can teach us more valuable experience than someone who has played abroad and studied abroad? Speaking of role models, who else can be more dazzling than a supernova who shines in the top five leagues? Speaking of direction, who else can be better than this one who led the Chinese team to win the first championship of the national team People are better able to guide the way? When he has all three of them alone, he is the best candidate for the captain of the Chinese team."

"Some people say that he is too young, but what about it? At this age, he has already achieved achievements that others can hardly achieve throughout his life. Why can't he achieve a position that no one else has? His Talent is the only one, and his treatment should naturally be the only one. Such a great player should not be restricted by those red tapes. He is like China's Ronaldo. From the moment he set foot on the green field, he was China. The unique savior and leader of football. He is the hope and development direction of Chinese football in the future. His outstanding talents will inevitably lead the Chinese football team to an unprecedented victory!"

Looking at such a newspaper, Zhao Yaning felt strange for a while, "Did these reporters take the wrong medicine? In the past, there was a disturbance in the national team and they could all play up for a long time, but this time, it turned out to be the same. Good to talk?"

"Your agent gave a good deal." It was Zhou Haibo who talked to him. In the national team, this is also one of the few people who are close to his age, and there are also people who have such a passion for them, "You don't know this thing yourself?"

"My agent is Zhang Yuan... He might benefit, but how much money will he get if he feeds all these media?"

Zhao Yaning was a little surprised.

"They are cheap in the media. They don't need a few money to pass it. And, where else is it necessary to feed them all? It's like raising a group of dogs and feeding the biggest ones, and they just babble. Ya, the others dare not yell at you."

But isn't this colluding with the media and buying out public opinion? Zhao Yaning wanted to say so, but still did not say it. This kind of thing is no longer a secret. There are more people in the industry who spend money to buy reporters to write for themselves. What Zhang Yuan did was just bridging the biggest writers. It's really not a big deal. whats the matter.

Zhao Yaning shook his head and said nothing after all.

"Actually, you are too worried." Zhou Haibo flipped through the magazine and said, "Now where the media still has time to take care of your business, they are all staring at the head coach now."

Zhao Yaning raised his head in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Haibo laughed, "Don't you know, our new national team hasn't played much yet. Someone can't help but jump out to speak."

Zhou Haibo explained to Zhao Yaning: Alihan’s reorganization of the national team is really too big. Let the front midfielder kick the defender and the defender kick the winger. This kind of excessive change makes many people feel uncomfortable.

Faced with this situation, some people can no longer bear accusations. When Sun Jihe’s father interviewed him on his hometown TV station, he directly used his native dialect to describe Ali Han as “Bing Cai”, and he also made the assertion that if the Chinese team played like this, it would be impossible for the Chinese team to enter the fourth Asian Cup. Strong.

This word hasn't spread out yet. But Zhao Yaning frowned when she heard it in her ears.

"His grandson is also a football player, right? He should be able to see that there is a reason for playing like this. How could he talk like that?"

Sun Jihe’s father used to be a track and field coach, but after Sun Jihe became famous, he started to be a football physical coach. Although he was not a professional football player, but he has cultivated such a son, how can he say that he doesn't understand football?

Zhao Yaning actually didn't know that "Bing Cai" was a native language for people who had no knowledge and no weight, but what he could know was that it was definitely not a good thing. No matter what Alihan said, he is also the head coach of the national team. As the father of the international team, even if he is dissatisfied with him, he should not be so blatantly accused? What's more, why you can't get the top four in the Asian Cup? How about this kind of curse, shouldn't it be said from the father of an international footballer, especially from someone who is still in the football circle?

"I have to tell my parents, they shouldn't be so nonsense to the media." Zhao Yaning thought to himself.

"How can he not know this? But man, as soon as he is involved in anything, he starts to commit a crime. After all, this is related to the status of his son's national team. Of course he will not be calm."

"If you want to fight for your own status, what's this." Zhao Yaning frowned.

"Do it yourself? Ning Zi, stop joking, think about it for yourself, Sun Jihe, when did he really work hard in the national team?"

Zhao Yaning wanted to refute, but after thinking about it for a while, his expression changed slightly.

It seems that there have been rumors in this area for a long time. Some people say that he did not play hard in the national team. After going abroad to study abroad, he became more and more domineering. It is said that once, he even said to people in the Football Association that there was I, the national team scored 70 points, without me, 50 points.

This arrogant attitude caused a lot of trouble in the future. Even because he didn't work hard, Hao Dapao faced the media accusing him. Fortunately, he still knew his eldest brother, and after listening to Hao Dapao's words, he didn't cause trouble. But in the end, in Milou's era, he was not taken seriously. In the top ten, he was basically nothing. He was injured in the World Cup and had little performance. He was even suspected of fraud.

Only in the past two years, as he has gained a firm foothold in Europe, played a major role in the Premier League, and became the biggest star of Chinese football, no one has said these words. After all, there are not many Chinese who go abroad to play football, and it is a consistent habit of the Chinese to keep tabs on the venerable.

"Since he stayed abroad in 1998, he has always felt that he is a human being, and he has never put the national team coach in his eyes. And even when he returned to China, he would just avoid talking about the tightness of the Premier League, too. Fatigue, lack of physical strength... something."

Zhao Yaning still shook his head again and again. He always felt that if he went abroad to play football and left his hometown, the living environment is not as good as in the country. He must have more feelings for the motherland. How could there be perfunctory play with the national team?

But what he doesn't know is that in the next two years, Sun Jihe will not even play a game. In every game, he was replaced early in 70 minutes and never played a full game. Moreover, he always excused himself on the grounds of jet lag, state, and tight Premier League schedule. In training, he also refused to train well on the grounds of ‘the level of players on the national team is low, for fear of hurting his teammates’. In the end, during the Xianghe training camp before the Asian Cup, he asked for two weeks of leave for physical exercise, but his physical fitness did not improve, and he was eventually given up by Ali Han.

"They are Premier League players, Premier League players, where can I see our Chinese games, Chinese coaches? Every time they come back, they say that they are not physically strong, and they are always inadequate. It seems that he is not inadequate when he runs in the Premier League."

"There is no evidence, it is nonsense. After all, it is the old man of the national team." Zhao Yaning accused.

"Is the old people of the national team a good thing? It's all about gambling, it's all in pediatrics, I won't say anything. When his wife Hao Dapao was pregnant with her second child, she wanted to get a baby in the UK. Now it’s all British fathers, do you think everyone is as patriotic as you?"

These words poured cold water on Zhao Yaning's head, which made him unable to believe it, but also felt a bit chilling: these people are as simple as not playing well.

This kind of life turned out to be what Zhang Yuan originally wanted to go by himself? If it is true that the national team does not work hard, has a son and has a foreign nationality, what is it?

Others may not know, but Zhao Yaning is very clear. Many of the black people in France retain their nationality. Don't they know that France is more likely to win the World Cup? But none of them changed their nationality. No matter how bad China is, no matter how bad the environment is, no matter how serious the system is, it is better than Africa, right? Why is this consciousness inferior to black people?

It's not just the upper level that is problematic.

"Haibo, tell me the truth, what do you mean by saying this?" Zhao Yaning suddenly recalled. Zhou Haibo said this, which was originally suspicious, and what is even more suspicious is how did he know the inside story? ?

"Ning Zi, you are now the biggest star of the Chinese team. You can't just let them go crazy."

Zhao Yaning suddenly understood something. I am afraid that this is not what Zhou Haibo wanted to say, but someone else behind it wanted to tell himself.

Is it really so interesting for the national team to compete for power? But since the matter has been in front of me, I can't leave it alone. Who made himself step into the muddy water now?

"You speak straight up, what do you want to do." Zhao Yaning said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It's time for you to stand up and say something, don't let those villains go too rampant. "Zhou Haibo said.

I'm afraid you are going to push me out, let me take my current fame and fight with others, right?

Zhao Yaning ignored him, but closed his eyes and thought.

what do I do?

"Haibo, I really should do something." Zhao Yaning said softly when he opened his eyes again.

----------------------------

ps: Regarding the dispute between Sun Jihai and Ali Han in those years, I have always believed that the responsibility lies with Sun Jihai. The problem of the national team’s inability to do his best during the 02-04 period mentioned above, as well as his father’s big mouth, and his resistance to training, things are true, but in the past two years, he has become a Manchester City star , No one mentioned it. In particular, his father vowed that Ali Han cake talent would lead the team to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup. He was clearly beaten in the face, that is, he was unhappy at the time. Otherwise, he would not be able to escape the relationship.

Ali Han's national football team does have the problem of improper employment, especially in the use of Sun Jihai, which is a big problem. But personally think that his counterattack has gone too far. Alihan made a change from the tactical level. At most, he was indifferent because of professionalism, but his counterattack has risen to a personal attack.

I personally think that one of the big problems with Alihan's national football team is that he is completely treated unfairly in public opinion. This place is where he wants to make changes.

In addition, Li Weifeng didn't say anything about the two captain armbands in 02-04, and it was not Li Weifeng who took the oath on behalf of the Chinese team until the 2004 game, but Zhao Junzhe, on the grounds that Li Weifeng's Mandarin was not standard.
