Liu Jianhong shook his head and his face turned dark: "It seems that there is no way around the Football Association!"
Li Tiancheng nodded: "Of course, they are the Chinese football authorities. How can they get around it? No matter how they excuse or shirk, this is their responsibility. All they need to do is that when people have time and space to relax, let them
Their first choice is football."
"This is hard!"
"It's not difficult. As long as you give people a chance to play a game, they will fall in love with football. You can look at the children who are exposed to football for the first time. They play in a mess, but they have smiles on their faces when they play football.
It just makes people happy. Most people don’t know this, so it’s enough
It is enough for the association to create opportunities for people to play football. Most people will fall in love with it after playing football once, and the atmosphere of Chinese football will gradually change. There is no need for them to keep betting on the World Cup or the Olympic Games!" Li Tiancheng
Gritting his teeth, he held the handrails with both hands and almost stood up.
"Tiancheng, calm down!"
"Okay." Li Tiancheng took a breath, sat down again, and shook his head in frustration: "Football brings people unity, well, at least it has achieved this, haha..."
"I can tell you're unhappy about this?"
"Do I have no reason to be dissatisfied? We are carrying out professional reforms at the same time as Japan. Ten years ago, Japan was far inferior to China. Ten years later, Japan has fallen behind China by at least three positions, and it will fall further and further behind in the foreseeable future.
."
"Then, there is one thing that I don't understand. According to media reports, many countries are trying to plan for you to join them. Why don't you agree? As far as I know, many Chinese fans support you to join a football power and initiate the World Cup.
Impact, even if you change your nationality, your image in China may not be greatly affected." Liu Jianhong also took the risk, and these topics will be cut out later.
Li Tiancheng sneered and shook his head: "I joined the Chinese national team, not the Chinese Football Association team. If it is not the word "Huaxia", haha. Besides, if we can develop according to the rules from now on, ten years from now
, the Chinese League should be on the right track, and by then the strength of the national football team should be able to improve a lot, and maybe it can also produce some results?"
"What if we can't develop well?" Liu Jianhong turned his face to the side and his tone was erratic.
Li Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "There's nothing I can do about it. This is my own choice. There are many stars like Giggs and Shevchenko who have no national team achievements, so I don't have to."
You have to insist. Anyway, we won’t win the World Cup. I won’t lose much, but China Football will lose a lot, because this is the best time for the league to develop. If it still can’t develop, all subsequent Football Association presidents will be nailed to the shame of history.
On the pillar, he will be admired by future generations."
"Well, it's true to say that your performance has indeed aroused more Chinese people to pay attention to football. Let's wait and see how the Football Association performs."
The interview ended here. Li Tiancheng still wanted to spend time with his family and did not continue to communicate with them.
His parents and grandfather all rushed to Yangcheng. Before Li Tiancheng returned to England, they stayed with Li Tiancheng for most of the day, which made him feel much better.
After finishing his domestic affairs, Li Tiancheng returned to Liverpool as soon as possible, but he was hit hard as soon as he got off the plane.
Staring at Jose with wide eyes, Li Tian frowned: "Middlesbrough?"
"Middlesbrough!"
"I remember we just knocked them out 2-0 in the League Cup!"
"So when we arrived at the Riverside Stadium, it was no surprise that we gave Middlesbrough two goals." Hasse said matter-of-factly.
Liverpool's away results this season are truly speechless.
Li Tiancheng blinked and smacked his lips: "This... this... is too ridiculous. How did they do it?" This was Gerrard's first game back, and it didn't look like a success.
"Get in the car first, you are becoming more and more famous now."
Li Tiancheng shrugged and followed Jose.
Li Tiancheng looked at Jose and said with his eyes: Tell me what's going on!
Of course Jose understood instantly.
Under Jose's explanation, Li Tiancheng learned the whole process of Liverpool's unexpected defeat.
Baros was injured again. He strained his thigh tendon in a friendly match with the Czech team and will miss 7 to 12 games.
Liverpool's bad luck continues, and there is no end to this wave of injuries.
In this game, Benitez chose to put Kewell in front as an arrow.
In short, in this game, Liverpool's offense was weak and they failed to score an empty goal; their defense was lax and their old problems of not marking people tightly were repeated again and again.
During the game, Josemi became the weak spot for Middlesbrough players to break through frequently. In the first half, Middlesbrough took 8 shots, 4 of which were on target. All attacks came from the right side!
At the end of the first half, Downing broke through Josemi and passed in. Middlesbrough defender Rigot was unmarked and easily scored with a header.
Two minutes later, Garcia's goal was disallowed, and Liverpool missed the equalizer. The slow motion showed that it was a good goal, and the referee's misjudgment wiped out Liverpool's efforts.
In the 62nd minute, it was Downing again. He completed a cross under the defense of Josemi. Hasselbaink got the ball and passed it through, and Zenden scored.
A few minutes later, Kewell missed the empty goal...
Gerrard came on as a substitute in the 55th minute of the game.
"He works hard, but it is unrealistic to expect a player who has been out for two months due to injury to save the team in the first game, even if he is Gerrard." Jose looked indifferent. In the first season,
As long as Li has enough opportunities to play, the results actually don't matter.
"How is Chelsea?" Li Tiancheng looked eager. Although it was embarrassing, he could only hope that his competitors would fall behind like him.
"It's a draw."
"In other words, the points have increased by one point!" Li Tiancheng was a little annoyed. This should be an opportunity to catch up with the points, but the substitutes could win, but the main players lost!
Although I know intellectually that this is football and football is constantly changing, it is really difficult to accept it emotionally.
"Would it make you feel better if you said it was only a little bigger?"
Li Tiancheng sneered, leaned on his seat and stopped talking...
Jose, however, had a lot to say: "You are about to leave for Monaco. You have been tired from traveling these past few days, so don't show off!"
"I got it." Li Tiancheng rested his head on the backrest, feeling a little listless. The schedule was indeed intensive, and there were double games in the next week. This performance was too disappointing, and it was really a bad start.
"Also, if the media asks you about racial discrimination, it's best to be careful with your words and actions."
"What should we be careful about when it comes to racial discrimination? We just need to lash out vigorously." Li Tiancheng turned his head and looked out the window. Thinking of the scene at Neal Stadium now, he felt uncomfortable.
