Xue Yang checked the news about Jiang Bin's refusal to be drafted, and then learned the whole story.
That reporter is really a bit bad, and his questions are completely traps.
Because Jiang Bin did not publicly express his refusal to be called up to the national team, but through other channels.
It was Jiang Bin's friend who revealed it, not Jiang Bin's direct expression.
But this is a national team game after all, especially in China this is definitely a big deal.
As expected, domestic public opinion is currently divided into two factions. One faction is of course those who criticize Jiang Bin, believing that he has become famous since he became famous.
The other group believes that Jiang Bin should not be drafted. Why would he be drafted for a friendly match like this?
So the people who scolded Jiang Bin retorted, saying, "Why did you recruit Jiang Bin? Why did you ask for special privileges just to play football?"
They are all serving the country, so why should Jiang Bin be special?
The two sides were going back and forth, and when Xue Yang saw this, he quickly contacted Jiang Bin.
"Brother Xue!" Jiang Bin's tone was obviously a little depressed.
Jiang Bin did not expect that things would become such a big deal.
He was very frustrated that so many people scolded him for this.
"What's going on?" Xue Yang asked.
Of course Jiang Bin knew what Xue Yang meant, so he slowly told the whole story.
"During the front-end period, I got together with some friends I met in Germany..." Jiang Bin answered.
Hearing what Jiang Bin said, Xue Yang interrupted him.
"Friend? Your former teammate in Leverkusen?" Xue Yang thought of a possibility.
If it was really a player, he might have exposed it on purpose.
"No, it's just a few Chinese locals in Germany that I met when I was in Leverkusen." Jiang Bin denied Xue Yang's conspiracy theory.
"I was informed that I had been selected for the national team, but I had just joined Tottenham. This trip back and forth really affected my preparations."
"So I complained to my friends, but I didn't expect that the news would spread."
Listening to Jiang Bin's helpless tone, Xue Yang could tell that he was indeed a little unjust.
I just had a bitter quarrel with my friends, but who knew it would become public knowledge.
"Later, my friend apologized to me. It turned out that reporters followed me when I got together with my friend, and then my friend said it without thinking too much."
"Then you shouldn't have said this in public?" Xue Yang asked.
"I just returned to China and am about to report to the national team." Jiang Bin replied.
After hearing Jiang Bin's answer, Xue Yang thought about it seriously.
"In the next period of time, if there are questions about this incident, avoid them if you can and don't accept interviews." Xue Yang suggested to Jiang Bin.
"Ah? But someone from the Football Association informed me and asked me to deny it directly during an interview." Jiang Bin explained in surprise.
Xue Yang's suggestion surprised Jiang Bin. It was different from what he thought.
He originally thought that Xue Yang's suggestion should be directly denied.
Regarding the Football Association's handling of the matter, Xue Yang certainly knew what they meant.
I just want to suppress the matter, avoid making the matter a big deal, and avoid the occurrence of discord between the generals.
After all, next year is the Asian Cup, and there are only a few months left.
But from Jiang Bin's perspective, he actually did nothing wrong.
If he really did this, Jiang Bin would feel uncomfortable, as if he was wrong.
"Ignore them, believe me and do as I say." Xue Yang said firmly.
Jiang Bin was a little moved by Xue Yang's suggestion, because he would feel better if he did so.
But he was a little worried, worried that the Football Association would blame him.
"What should the Football Association do? I heard before that in basketball, a player named Wang Zhizhi was expelled from the China Men's Basketball Team because of this kind of thing." Jiang Bin said worriedly.
Wang Zhizhi is also considered a legend in the Chinese men's basketball team. Because he failed to sign with the Dallas Mavericks, he decided to participate in the summer league.
So he refused to return to China, and the Basketball Association expelled Wang Zhizhi from the China Men's Basketball Team.
Wang Zhizhi was not a small figure in the Chinese basketball world back then. He even surpassed Yao Ming when he was still in the CBA.
It can be said that Yao Ming slowly became a star and then moved to the NBA under the shadow of Wang Zhizhi.
However, even for such a star, the Basketball Association still banned him.
Still very tough, and as Yao Ming became famous.
Wang Zhizhi's influence is getting smaller and smaller, and he can no longer compare with Yao Ming.
"You two are different! This happened more than ten years ago. Compared to more than ten years ago, the current environment is different. It is more convenient to communicate and speak out." Xue Yang explained.
"And football and basketball are different in China. Chinese basketball is top-notch in Asia, but football is different."
"As for you worrying about being banned, all I can say is you! You have underestimated yourself!" Xue Yang said earnestly.
It has not been an easy journey for Jiang Bin, who started playing in the Chinese League One at a young age.
Then he came to play in the Bundesliga at a young age, and from the beginning he was questioned to the core of the offense later.
Now that he has joined the Premier League team Tottenham, Jiang Bin is already at the top of Chinese football.
Not only is he the most valuable Chinese player, he can even be considered a star representing Chinese football.
Now when foreigners talk about Chinese football, the first thing they think of is Jiang Bin, but Jiang Bin has not yet realized his status.
And Xue Yang has always felt that the national team should not recruit these overseas players.
Jiang Bin's words are actually the sentiments of other players. If they are playing against a strong team, it won't matter.
Playing against those strong teams is still very valuable for training, but teams like Jordan and Kuwait can actually win without them.
Recruiting other players can expand the selection and is more conducive to preparing for the Asian Cup.
As a head coach, Xue Yang knows that when faced with a weak team, he still chooses to recruit overseas players.
Just to be more safe, Chinese football still attaches too much importance to results.
Soon Jiang Bin joined the team, but after joining the team, he ignored the head coach.
The head coach also knew that Jiang Bin had resentment in his heart, and now that Jiang Bin was very powerful, there was nothing he could do against Jiang Bin.
The current situation is that many reporters want to interview Jiang Bin, but they can't find Jiang Bin at all.
Later, after playing for the national team, Jiang Bin flew directly to the UK without saying a word.
After dealing with Jiang Bin's matter, Xue Yang will prepare for Tianjin Wei.
Because the first leg of the AFC Champions League semifinals will be played in mid-September, Xue Yang needs to prepare as soon as possible.
Now that we have come this far, of course we are here to win the AFC Champions League.
Xue Yang needs to do his homework and strive to win FC Seoul firmly.
And the league cannot relax. Although it is 11 points ahead of Guangzhou Evergrande, it still needs to be more stable.
