Chapter 47 National Youth ([-])

China/China Capital

Since the time entered the end of November, the weather has become cooler and cooler.The drizzling rain has been falling all day, they have washed the gray streets clean, filled the air with a faint fresh smell, and even made the avenue a bit empty when it was time for traffic jams, the only one The uncomfortable thing might be the ensuing cold, but what's the problem?

A black car on Longtan Road drove slowly through the rain and fog, and stopped in the parking lot of Zhu Xie. A tall man in a black windbreaker got out of the car. He took off his collar and quickly ran into the Zhuxie Building.At this time, there are not many pedestrians in this place. Even if there are a few, they all use umbrellas to block their sight and walk in a hurry. No one notices him at all, and no one recognizes that this person used to be A member of the Chinese national team and a famous star at the time - Su Chunming.

Su Chunming, a big man from Shandong, is a well-known figure in Chinese football. His experience is very interesting. When he was young, he went to Manchester United for trial training and almost became a member of the 92 generation. However, injuries made him miss Manchester United in the end.

However, after he returned to China, he still entered the professional team. With the advent of the professionalization of Chinese football, he also became the first batch of all-powerful football stars that year.His career can also be said to be full of glory, he has received almost all domestic player honors, and even became the banner figure of his team at that time.

After announcing his retirement in 2002, he returned to Manchester United again, and then studied in the UK. His major was the god-like MBA. Later, he even got the qualification certificate of a professional coach and became a rare player in Chinese football. One of the representatives of the Gang Academy.

When he walked into the Xie Xie Building, someone was already waiting for him, but that person didn't come looking for him today, it was just a staff member leading the way.They went upstairs, and pushed open the door of the office of the Ministry of Youth Development. There was already a middle-aged man with a big smile waiting for him inside.

As soon as he saw him coming in, the man immediately came to greet him, and said with a smile, "Chunming, I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come here?"

"Hello, old leader! I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are still so energetic." Su Chunming immediately reached out to shake the man.

"Haha, I'm old. It's you. I haven't seen your figure out of shape after studying in the UK these years. There are many professional sports people who lose their shape as soon as they don't practice. You still maintain a good shape. Do you have any secrets? "The middle-aged man has a loud voice, and he is very confident when speaking.

"I've been doing sports all the time. You can't be a coach without a big belly, can you?"

"Okay, it seems that you have been preparing all the time. This is very good, and I appreciate your appearance. Come, let's sit down and talk." The middle-aged man spoke very simply, and it seemed to contain a kind of hard-to-please The deterrent power of rejection is something that has been cultivated in high positions all the year round.

Su Chunming sat on the sofa by the door, and asked a little puzzled, "Old leader, is there anything you want me to come back this time?"

"I watched all of you grow up at the beginning. At that time, I thought you were a promising child. Now it seems that I was right. Now that you have the qualification of an international coach, what are your plans for the next step? ?”

Su Chunming was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the old leader to ask this question, "I have already accepted an invitation from a team in my hometown, and I want to play in the second division next year. I want to start from the lowest level..."

"That's a good idea, but the second division is the lowest?" The old leader interrupted him without waiting for him to finish speaking. "You still remember the creed that we have always pursued that football should start with babies? Why don't you want to Do you want to do this?"

Su Chunming froze for a moment, not understanding what the leader meant, "You mean I should go to a football school?"

"Of course not. What I mean is that you should go to a place where you are needed more. You started to study abroad in 02. In the past six years, what you have learned is that you are going to a club?" The leader suddenly He stood up and became excited, "I know that you can make a lot of money in the club, but you can't just look at the immediate interests. You used to be the captain of the national team, so you have to be ready to play for the country at any time. Can you do this?" do it?"

Su Chunming looked at the old leader in astonishment, his brain was a little short-circuited, "Old leader, what do you mean? You can just say it directly. I have always been watched by you growing up. I will do whatever you want Done. But what do you want me to do?"

The face of the middle-aged man softened a little. "I knew you were a good person. You didn't embarrass me before and you won't do it in the future. You should know about the Olympics, right?"

"I've seen it all, and we've done a great job."

"I'm not talking about that, what I want to say is that this time we are really ashamed to kill evil." The old leader's face became ugly again "We won more than [-] gold medals and ranked first in the world, but look at football, Especially the men's football team is simply shameful. We made careful preparations before the competition, but the final result was that even the team did not show up. This has already made many leaders very unhappy. Now we must restore this bad influence as soon as possible, so After our discussion and organization, it is decided that you will take over the current national youth team, are you willing?"

Su Chunming was completely taken aback. He had thought a lot about this meeting, but he didn't expect such a terrifying situation. "Leader, this, this, this is not appropriate? As far as I know, the current coach of the National Youth League is..."

The leader waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about this matter, just ask if you want to do it. You know, I haven't been in this position for a long time, and I have to show some achievements, and you are mine, of course I I want to think of you, let's see if you are willing to give me, an old guy, a little face, and make money a few years later?"

"But I have no experience."

"Who is born with experience? You are an academic, have professional football experience, and play so well. It would be a waste not to lead the youth team. Don't worry, the organization trusts your ability very much. Go ahead and do it boldly.”

"But... well, I promise you, but I hope I can have full power to make decisions, starting from the selection."

The old leader laughed, "Of course, I will give you the best when I come back to you. You are mine and I will not make things difficult for you. But remember, I still have a request for you. It's very simple. That means you have to qualify for the World Youth Championship, understand?"
