Chapter 344 Three Newcomers to the National Team After reporting back to the national team base, Jiang Yuan met three new players, Zhou Wencheng, Han Qing and Tian Zhong. These three are all new players of the national team. If nothing unexpected happens, these three players will appear in the national team's game roster starting from the next : Purely fictional character It is not uncommon for the national team to temporarily select players in excellent form. The problem is that Zhou Wencheng and the other three are all players of Hebei China Fortune, and Li Yi is the former head coach of Hebei China Fortune, so there is bound to be public opinion. Some people even went to find the Chinese Super League and China League One game videos of the three. The vast majority of fans believe that there is a hidden story behind the joining of Zhou Wencheng and three others, but there are also a small number of people who hold an opposing attitude. A football up-host and well-known commentator on Bilibili publicly expressed his support for Zhou Wencheng and his two companions in his latest video. "As the main force for promotion to the Super League, Zhou Wencheng, Han Qing and Tian Zhong must have their own strengths. You can't say that Li Yi, who used to be the head coach of Hebei China Fortune, now brings Hebei China Fortune players to the national team for some hidden reason. If you think so, then I can only say that you don't understand football." "Take Zhou Wencheng for example. He has scored 14 goals in 2 league games this season and he is only 21 years old. He is an absolutely talented player." The up master explained his point of view to the fans: "You outsiders will definitely think that Zhou Wencheng and others are weak, but in fact, they are very well recognized in the national football team. Look at the main players such as Wu Lei and Feng Xiaoting. They all prefer the addition of this kind of young blood." "..." In the dormitory of the National Training Center, Wu Lei was lying on the bed, holding a mobile phone in one hand and pointing at a certain UP host whose face appeared on the screen with the other hand. "Mental retardation" "Ah, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yuan in the same room turned his head, and Wu Lei explained: "There is an idiot on B station who said that I think it is reasonable for Zhou Wencheng and others to join. I think it is reasonable, but those three people are redundant for me to be my club teammates, let alone the national team, idiot" amount…… Jiang Yuan sat up: "Brother Lei, there is no need to be like this, calm down, maybe you are not in a good state." After returning to the team and training for two days, he indeed found that Zhou Wencheng and the other two were a bit unskilled, but from Jiang Yuan's perspective, his feeling was not obvious. Slightly stronger teammates and slightly weaker teammates did not have much impact on him personally. Moreover, as a professional player, Jiang Yuan knew very well that everyone's condition had peaks and troughs. It might just be that Zhou Wencheng was not in good condition these days, so he did not delve into it. “I felt something was very wrong” Wu Lei, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, crossed his legs, and looked at Jiang Yuan: "Zhou Wencheng is okay, but Han Qing and Tian Zhong get panicked when they get the ball. They are not top players at all." Wu Lei was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized something was wrong, so he added: "Well, the top players I mentioned are those in the Chinese Super League, not comparing Han Qing and others with you, Brother Yuan, and..." Wu Lei leaned forward and said, "Brother Yuan, when the three of them first came, we old players discussed it. You know, Zhou Wencheng, Han Qing, and Tian Zhong, all three of them are players of China Fortune. Da Lei, Brother Peng, and I have played against them." Are they players of China Fortune Land Development? Jiang Yuan smacked his lips. In his previous life, he had not learned much about Li Yi. He only knew that Li Yi had recruited four players from Zall to the national team. As for the reasons behind it, he really knew nothing. According to Wu Lei's analysis, Zhou Wencheng and the other two should not have entered the national team based on their hard power. If this is true, then Jiang Yuan can only say that Li Yi is awesome. He had just been the captain of the national team for less than three months, but he directly brought players from his former club to the national team. "No, isn't Li Yi afraid of what the fans will say?" Jiang Yuan looked at Wu Lei in front of him. Judging from the expression of the Shanghai Harbor legend, he has been disgusted with Li Yi for a long time. “It doesn’t matter anymore” Wu Lei spread his hands and said: "The internet is full of people scolding the Chinese national football team for being stupid. What Li Yi did was just to add a few more comments." Also! Jiang Yuan nodded. The reputation of the Chinese national football team and the Football Association has always been bad, so there is no need to worry about this at all.
The fact that three players from China Fortune were selected for the national team will certainly make the fans confused and even dissatisfied. But to be honest, if Li Yi is determined to do this, the fans really can't do anything about it. Complain to the Football Association? This is useless. In terms of selecting players, Li Yi, the head coach of the national team, is more professional. The Football Association will not listen to the fans' complaints. Besides, the leaders of the Football Association are more "administrators" than "instructors". They understand game management and club management, not game tactics. If you ask some of them to analyze the game, they won’t be able to do it. At this time, as long as the assistant next to him says a few good words about Li Yi, Li Yi will have no problem at the leadership level. Don’t worry, your leader is supporting you from behind! …… On the other hand, Li Yi met with Li Yumin, then vice chairman of the Football Association, in private. The reason for the meeting was very simple, that is, Li Yi included three Hebei China Fortune players in the national team. "Now the whole internet is criticizing you, do you still think it's appropriate for you to do this?" Li Yumin sat on the office chair. Li Yi stood in front of him with his head down, not daring to say a word: "Li... Chairman Li, I can assure you that there is absolutely no hidden secret between us. Zhou Wencheng, Han Qing, and Tian Zhong are all excellent players. Because I was the head coach of China Fortune before, I know how good they are..." Li Yi shrugged his shoulders: "But unfortunately, not all players have the vision that we professionals have." call-- Under Li Yi's gaze, Li Yumin let out a long sigh: "I can actually understand that sometimes those of us who are at the top are easily misunderstood by those below. I have been in charge of the Chinese Super League for more than a year, and some fans are like this. They don't have any brains and keep saying that the Football Association is corrupt." "The Football Association is corrupt. How could the Football Association be corrupt? It has not changed in all these years!" Li Yumin said righteously, and Li Yi nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, a coach like me can understand it, let alone a chairman like you. I can feel your feeling of not being understood but still silently devoting yourself." As he said that, Li Yi took the initiative to step forward, picked up the teapot on the solid wood table and poured a cup of tea for Li Yumin. Li Yumin didn't bother to be polite with Li Yi, he took a sip and said: "Hey, Coach Li, if you ask me, you should consider the views of the society. Although they may not be right, but the Football Association has been denounced on the Internet, my feeling... you know, everyone feels bad." "..." Li Yumin was waiting for Li Yi to speak, but Li Yi chose to remain silent, so Li Yumin took the initiative to attack: "How about this, Coach Li, let Zhou Wencheng and the other two guys train with the national team, but forget about playing in the game" "President!" Li Yi looked anxious and almost shouted. "Chairman, believe me, whether it's Zhou Wencheng, Han Qing or Tian Zhong, the three of them are all top-notch players. With their efforts in the game, Chinese football can go further..." "Hey, hey, hey, what are you in such a hurry for?" Li Yumin raised her hand, and Li Yi suddenly didn't dare to speak. "I don't question your selection, but you do have to consider public opinion. It's true that Zhou Wencheng and his team are capable, but what if they don't perform well in the game? Then it won't just be you as the head coach who will be criticized, but the entire Football Association!" Li Yumin's meaning was very clear. Even if Li Yi got his own people into the national team, he could not let his own people play in the game. Fans may tolerate you using nepotism to bring players to the national team, but they will not tolerate you letting your own people harm Chinese football in the game. Li Yumin graduated from Wuhan Sports University with a background in football. Doesn’t he know Zhou Wencheng’s level? To put it bluntly, Zhou Wencheng and his three guys are not even qualified to be Wu Lei's substitutes. As a result, Li Yi directly asked them to be teammates with players of Jiang Yuan's level. Wouldn't it be a matter of minutes for them to be exposed? "Chairman, listen to me..." Li Yi took a step forward, now he was obviously a little anxious. According to the agreement between him and the club, Zhou Wencheng, Han Qing and Tian Zhong must all play in the Asian qualifiers, and the total playing time of each of them in the remaining six Asian qualifiers cannot be less than 6 minutes.
By doing this, isn't Li Yumin forcing Li Yi to break his 4500 million contract? "Stop talking, just go!" Li Yumin waved his hand. He had already conveyed his meaning. If Li Yi did not comply, Li Yumin would have his own way to deal with Li Yi. "...Chairman, really, you have to believe me, Zhou Wencheng and the others will perform well in the competition..." "I said, get out!" Li Yumin spoke in a louder voice, hoping to scare Li Yi away. However, Li Yi not only did not leave, but even took a step forward. "Li Yi, what do you mean?" Li Yumin's face was livid, and it was obvious that he was really angry. He looked into Li Yi's eyes and said threateningly, "Don't bring those things from you and the club to the national team. This is the Chinese Football Association, not your home!" "Look at the words behind it!" Li Yumin pointed to the decoration behind him, and the four big characters "Integrity and Honesty" were very conspicuous. "..." Li Yi didn't say anything, and Li Yumin continued to shout: "Now, get out!" hiss-- Li Yi took a deep breath and propped his hands on the desk: "Chairman Li, do you still remember that in 12, you were the director of the SH City Sports Bureau. Um... I remember you were also a senior official in the JS District. Is that right?" ? Hearing Li Yi's words, Li Yumin frowned: "Why are you talking about this?" "Hey, Chairman Li, I haven't finished yet, don't be anxious." Li Yi blew his hair and said, "During the London Olympics, you had a political achievement requirement that athletes with Shanghai household registration needed to win a specified number of Olympic medals. I think what I said is correct, right? Well, if I am wrong, you can point it out to me." "What do you want to say?" Li Yumin and Li Yi looked at each other, and Li Yi's next words made Li Yumin's eyes widen: "In the 110m hurdles, Liu Xiang had an Achilles tendon injury. It was you who forced him to play with a closed injection, right?" Whoosh! Li Yi looked up at the four characters "Integrity and Honesty" and said, "Liu Xiang didn't seem to agree at the time, but under your coercive request, he finally got the injection." "..." Li Yi smiled because he could see that Li Yumin's whole body was trembling at this moment. It wasn't just her body that was shaking, Li Yumin's palms were already covered in sweat. …… The headline of the China Football News: Li Yi said in an interview with reporters that Zhou Wencheng and the other two are all capable of participating in the national team's official competitions, which is beyond doubt. As for the fans' reaction, Li Yi said that there is no hidden reason, and competitive sports are all about strength. (End of this chapter)
