Chapter 98

"Brother Dong, are you back?"

On the phone, the other party's voice was very high-pitched and excited.

"There are still a few hours left, still in the capital."

Dong Fangzhuo was also very excited.

After getting off the plane, I couldn't wait to call Zhu Ting.

"Come to my house and watch the game together."

Before returning to Dalian, he couldn't wait to invite Zhu Ting.

Today is November 17th, and the Chinese team will face HK in Tianhe, Guangzhou.

The two are childhood friends and best friends. Dong Fangzhuo went to England, while Zhu Ting was loaned to Dalian Changbo by Dalian Shide and became the team's main center forward.

However, Zhu Ting's goals have always been very low. At the end of this season, he only scored 3 goals in 17 games...

Zhu Ting is a few months younger than Dong Fangzhuo, and belongs to the 85-86 golden generation.

At the age of 18 and 19, they are the best future of Chinese football at this time. They are also from the Shide Department, and they are not the only ones chasing their football dreams at this time.

There are also Quan Lei, Zhao Xuri, Zhou Haibin, Feng Xiaoting, Chen Tao, Mao Jianqing, Lu Lin, Hao Junmin, Gao Lin, Wang Yongpo...

Too much.

These guys formed the National Youth, National Olympics and National Team at that time...

Dong Fangzhuo's thoughts drifted a little, and he suddenly remembered many things, many teammates and the ups and downs of the years to come.

In the 2004 Asian Youth Championship, the 85 National Youth lost to South Korea and won the runner-up in the final without the four main players.

In the 2005 World Youth Championship, the group stage won all three games. In the quarter-finals, the National Youth League lost to Germany 2-3 regrettably. It's just that he was a substitute at the time...

But the later results were far below people's expectations. In the 2008 Olympic Games, the Olympic team not only failed to qualify for the group stage, but even failed to win a game. In the end, the red card was still a loss.

Dong Fangzhuo scored the first goal in Chinese Olympic history, but it was useless...

In the two World Cups in 2010 and 2014, the Chinese national team with these players as the main body failed to even make it to the top 10. The group of players who were considered China's most promising players brought the most disappointing experience. score.

The factor that caused this group of people to fail to explode as a whole is that from 2005 to the present, China's national team has been in a turbulent period. The head coaches of the national team are frequently changed, and the Football Association has repeatedly made low-level mistakes in the selection of head coaches, which prevents these best players from meeting the best coaches.

The 18-year-old Zhou Haibin and Zhao Xuri became the main force of the national team under Ali Han. Before the game on November 17, 2004, Ali Han transferred Chen Tao.

That is today.

If there is no such mentally handicapped accident, Alihan, who likes technical style of play, will definitely be able to raise this group of players to a higher level in the national team. This is not a hypothesis. Look at how Ali Han activated Chen Tao and Zhou Haibin successively in his two coachings of the Tianjin team.

Even if Krautchen, who has a tolerant personality and understands the team, instead of Duy, who was handpicked by Xie Yalong, could become the head coach of this Olympic team at that time, this team will play no worse than the World Youth Championship. Performance.

The last chance came in 2011. At that time, Gao Hongbo spent two years cultivating a large number of players from 1985 and 1987 into the backbone of the national team, and then the Football Association traded for Camacho. The first thing the old card did when he joined the team It is to recruit veterans again, the national team has lost three games in a row, and the 85 generation began to bid farewell to the stage.

Chinese football is like a poor man who is not good at financial management. When he sighs that the sky is not helping me, he forgets how he used to squander the wealth in his hands.

The mistakes of Chinese football can still be corrected, but the splendor that could have belonged to this generation of players can never be recovered. When we are lamenting the tragedy of an era, who can know the regrets in the hearts of the 1985 and 1986 generations.

well……

Dong Fangzhuo sighed heavily,

Already on the plane to Dalian.

What are you thinking! At least a lot has changed now, hasn't it? Anyway, you can enter the top ten.

But what about the top ten?

...

Mother Dong was very happy to see her son come back suddenly, and made a lot of delicious food.

Dong Fangzhuo didn't make an exception and started eating extravagantly, but he didn't want to waste his mother's painstaking efforts, so he tasted every dish.

His mother has been worrying about his future all these years. He can no longer let his mother worry and disappoint him, for example, he can do it now.

Zhu Ting is still the same as before, laughing and joking, purely a child and a fan.

"Brother Dong, did Ronaldo carry your bag for you?"

"Does Keane often lose his temper in the dressing room?"

"Is it intentional to kill Bowyer?"

"My lord..."

"..."

Zhu Ting said a lot, Dong Fangzhuo listened quietly, with a quietness that didn't match his age.

After that, the two sat in front of the TV and watched the Chinese team's game together.

"Finally entered the top ten competition." Zhu Ting gulped down his Coke.

"Little pig, don't drink carbonated drinks all the time, it's harmful to your body."

Dong Fangzhuo stretched out his hand and snatched the Coke.

Um?

Zhu Ting almost choked on the Coke, and looked at Dong Fangzhuo in surprise, as if he didn't know Dong Fangzhuo.

"Haha, Brother Dong, are you kidding me? In the past, you and I always used money to buy things secretly at home..."

"Oh, that's what I did wrong before. Now I don't touch a drop. I don't know how to deal with you. Let's put it this way, if I eat and drink like you, then I can't even stay in the Manchester United reserve team." go down."

"You are Manchester United, I'm just in Dalian Changbo, it's different, my strength is leveraged, enough to handle it." Zhu Ting curled his lips.

"Handle?"

Dong Fangzhuo's voice sank.

"Does Zhao Xuri in Sichuan think so too?"

"He? He's almost becoming a core player now!" 18-year-old Zhao Xuri has already flourished in Sichuan.

Dong Fangzhuo nodded, "I really want to get together with everyone, we haven't sat together for so long."

Everyone's future is different, Dong Fangzhuo has no ability to change everyone, he can only try to influence, within his power.

"Xiaozhu, it's impossible for you to play in Dalian Changbo all the time. You must go back to Shide, maybe you will transfer, maybe you will stay abroad?"

"Look, Zhao Xuri and Chen Tao are both on the bench."

Dong Fangzhuo pointed to the TV screen. At this time, Zhao Xuri and Chen Tao were sitting on the bench at Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium, watching the game intently.

"One day I will be able to go too." Zhu Ting said seriously.

"Being able to go is the minimum, but if you go, everything is over. After that, what about qualifying for the World Cup? What about your own future? Sometimes our pursuit is too low."

"Do you remember our childhood dreams?"

"Beyond Hao Haidong, go abroad." Zhu Ting answered without thinking.

"However, I have to go back to Shide first. Unlike you, luck is good, Manchester United is the starting point."

"..."
