Soon after Sun Yumei was sent away, this little girl left as she said she would, without any hesitation. Zhuo Yang was not worried about her, because he was seventeen years old and was alone in the world, so he didn't think it would be useful to travel around the world alone.
What's unreasonable? Besides, I've already called my all-powerful sister Zhuo Qiu and asked her to pick up the phone, so there's nothing to worry about. Any more nagging will make me look like a grown man and pretentious.
With nothing to do, Zhuo Yang went to the AWD Arena in Hannover to watch a Bundesliga 2 match. The international match day did not affect the continuation of the lower-level leagues. The match was between Hannover 96 and Munich 1860.
Zhuo Yang wanted to see Shao Jiayi in person. The reason why he had this idea was this year's World Youth Championship in the Netherlands.
This past summer, the FIFA U20 World Youth Championship was held in the Netherlands. In fact, it did not attract everyone's attention. After all, the Confederations Cup, which basically overlapped in time, was the protagonist. The ages of the players participating in the U20 World Youth Championship are based on the age of 1985.
The first day of the month is used as the boundary, and the age of the players is basically between nineteen and twenty.
Madibao is a famous young team, with German Khedira, Swiss Banetta and Brazilian Pompon Luis participating in this cup. Others are either overage or simply already in the adult national team, such as
Gomez; or their country did not pass the qualifiers, such as Frenchman Debuchy and Slovakian Hamsik.
Zhuo Yang, who was born in August 1985, is just the right age!
In fact, this Chinese U20 youth team is the U19 team that was training in Haigeng, Kunming, which originally caused the conflict between Zhuo Yang and the Chinese Football Association. However, they are now called the Chinese Youth Team in China, or simply called '08
Star Olympic Team', because they were formed for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Zhuoyang didn't care about the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, even though Germany and China were included in it, but Khedira's chat with him afterwards aroused Zhuoyang's interest. The German team eliminated China 3:2 in the quarter-finals.
But Khedira was full of praise for the Chinese team. He never expected that his opponents could perform so well.
The Chinese team won all three games in Group A and ranked first, directly competing with Germany, the third place in Group D. The Chinese team led twice in the whole game and was equalized twice. At the end of the 90 minutes, Deqing
The team's center back Matip received Khedira's pass and headed the ball to beat the Chinese Youth Team.
According to Khedira, the Chinese youth team did not fall behind at all in that game. They hit the goalpost twice in the second half. The German youth team's victory was due to their character. Moreover, Khedira also said that there were several Chinese players.
His personal skills are obviously better than those of the Germans, he does not suffer much from physical confrontation, and his tactics are very particular.
It’s easy to understand that the technical level of the German youth team is not high. The 18-year-old Khedira is the youngest player in the team, and the others are all 20 years old. And Khedira’s age group was the highest in the German youth team back then.
They are the first group to benefit from the reform of training technology. Except for Khedira, the others all belong to the traditional German player type.
In fact, this is exactly the case. After winning against China, the German youth team lost to Brazil. After many years, only Khedira, Gentner and Adler can make a name for themselves in world football.
The only one who can even be called a first-class star is Khedira.
Chinese youth team player Chen Tao was also selected into the best team of the World Youth Championship. No one from the German youth team won against them. The champion, No. 18 Leo Messi of the Argentine team, won the tournament's Golden Ball and Golden Boots.
Khedira said: According to this trend, more than half of the Chinese youth team players should be able to play in Europe in two years, and seven or eight of them will have no problem playing in the Bundesliga.
Is this really the case?
This is the reason why Zhuo Yang is interested. He then carefully read the reports about this World Youth Championship and found that the only player he had heard of, Dong Fangzhuo, who was loaned out by Manchester United to Belgium, was not the main player... This thing is interesting.
Got it!
Argentina defeated Nigeria, the African Eagle, in the final. Zhuo Yang chatted with Lao Song's nephew Xiao Song while eating hot pot. Although Cameroon did not reach the main round, Xiao Song still knew a little about Nigeria.
"Uncle Zhuo, don't believe that. I know two people from Nigeria. We were training together in Bastia, France. It was two years ago. I was sixteen and they were seventeen. Uncle Zhuo, do you know?
?I have seen their children..."
"Let me do the math... I should have gone to elementary school last year," Alexander Song said.
The hot pot hasn't boiled yet, and Zhuo Yang is sweating!
.
Because he had set his sights on the Chinese Youth Team, Zhuo Yang also paid attention to the German coach of the Chinese Youth Team, Krauchen. After casual inquiry, there were actually many young players in the Madibao team who knew this name, and Krauchen was not unknown.
According to the club's athletic director Andres Muller, Krauchen's performance as the head coach of the adult team was average, but he was very famous in the German youth training community. After 1996, the German Football Association began to vigorously promote domestic youth training.
The training of teenagers has become more technological and distinctive. His Majesty the Emperor Beckenbauer personally led this huge project and invested a lot of money and manpower into it.
Krauchen has participated in the construction of the entire German youth training system and is a very important think tank and implementer. He has helped many clubs improve their youth training systems and has a high reputation in the industry and a very good reputation.
Krauchen is a very pragmatic, dedicated and professional youth training expert. He is different from Schlapner, the former foreign coach of the Chinese national team, who was more like an agent and an international bad guy.
"As far as I know, Mr. Krauchen is seeking the position of head coach of China's U23 team or even the position of the adult national team. I think his experience and professionalism should be enough for the job."
What Muller didn't understand was that Krauchen's departure had already been decided before the start of the World Youth Championship. At that time, the ulterior motive smear campaigns in China's domestic media had already begun, and Krauchen's stubbornness in tactics and personnel challenged him.
The interests of some people and the paving of media and public opinion under the leadership's instructions are naturally the first step, and they are all very mature routines.
What Zhuoyang didn't know was that the differences between Krauchen and the Chinese Football Association were related to him. Last year, Krauchen was in charge of the China 08 Stars team, which is the current Chinese youth team. Krauchen and the Football Association discussed Zhuoyang's issue.
There was an argument, but as a newbie he finally compromised.
The reason for the compromise was that his purpose was to coach the Chinese national team in the future. Naturally, it was not good to have a stalemate with the Football Association from the beginning, otherwise there would be nothing hot to eat. Secondly, he also felt that the U20 shallow water could not let Zhuo Yang go.
This dragon.
More importantly, Krauchen learned in the German football community that the entire German football community has long regarded Zhuoyang as a German footballer. Except for the difference in skin color, he is no different from other German youth training talents, he is just better.
Zhuoyang has entered the German national team's vision.
From Krauchen's point of view, Zhuo Yang doesn't have to hesitate to choose between German and Chinese football. Krauchen is already over 60 years old, so the old man naturally doesn't want to touch Zhuo Yang. What's more, Germany is
A motherland that Krauchen was proud of.
