The Ball at Your Feet

The first meal after entering the national team was a KFC fast food served by Zhao Yaning. The only difference is that because KFC does not sell beer, Zhao Yaning has to buy them again.

This way of eating made Zhao Yaning frightened to see it. When playing football in France, the coach has always emphasized the importance of diet, and at the same time strictly prohibits them from drinking. Although privately, teammates playing in France will also improve their food, but even a fool knows that KFC fast food, fried junk food, can't touch it. And adding beer, it is even more harmful to the player's body.

This way of eating by the national team players made him feel unacceptable. What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that they didn't even feel that there was anything wrong with this.

"Eat more. I'm going to South Korea in two days. The food in that shabby place is very poor. I don't eat too much at home. When I go abroad, I have to go hungry." Dazhen was still advising Zhao Yaning.

"Yeah." Zhao Yaning agreed casually, but still didn't dare to let his mouth open to eat these things. He didn't want his body to become a mess because of these things.

"Don't be so restrained, here are your big brothers. When you are with your big brothers, you don't need to be so restrained." Dazhen patted him, "This time the national team game, you don't need to exert any effort. Follow everyone to learn more. That's it."

Really gain insight. Zhao Yaning said something in his heart. But this kind of insight, I don't want to rise again in this life.

Dazhen glanced at him and saw that he didn't understand the deep meaning of his words, so he could only speak again, "I remember all these things I said, and it's good for you. Remember, don't just think of being popular. It’s your older brother’s generation, and it’s not your turn to show off."

Zhao Yaning understood what he said this time, but still couldn't help but said, "They are all working for the country, I haven't thought about showing up."

"It's not your turn to play for your country." Dazhen was a little annoyed. "For your own good when you say this, remember it for yourself."

Zhao Yaning still doesn't understand why everyone tells himself that he can't do his best to play for the national team. Once you have played well, will the national team do any harm to the team besides the results?

But since Zhang Yuan and Dazhen both said so, they must have their reason.

But on the second day, Dazhen quickly found him again during training, "What did you do? Didn't I tell you, don't you want to show the limelight?"

Zhao Yaning was confused and didn't understand why Dazhen would say that. I was training with the team today and didn't do anything extra. How could he say that?

"You just returned to China yesterday. When you came to the national team to play, you almost performed during training. No one will say anything. But when you have done all the tasks during training, people will doubt whether you want to compete for the country. The main position of the team."

"But how can the task assigned by the coach not be completed?" Zhao Yaning was even more surprised by this.

"Listen, when you train for a while, stop working hard. Then go to the captain and ask him to help you speak nice things." Seeing that Zhao Yaning still didn't understand, Dazhen sighed and explained to Zhao Yaning. The door said, "You just came to the national team, and your performance was a little poor. That's because you are young and no one will say anything. And if you ask the big brothers to help you beg for a favor, you can still get closer to the big brothers. But. If you perform well in training, it will make people think that you are here to grab a spot, but that's not good. The position of the national team is not grabbed."

Zhao Yaning understood a little bit. But still a little unwilling, "I just don't want the coach to think I'm lazy..."

"Coach? Forget it. After this World Cup, he must have left the national team. It's no good to offend the team to please him." Dazhen shook his head, "Don't be so eye-catching."

"The national team may be able to score something this time." Zhao Yaning said.

"Achievement? What is a result? A championship is called a result, can you? If you can't win the championship, you have to be told what you play." Dazhen was a little confused when it came to this, "I want to talk about the coach's current coaching results. That's really good, but many people are uncomfortable with what he does."

Zhao Yaning has also heard of this. It seems that the current head coach is different from other coaches in terms of the relationship between men and women, and the style of behavior, which has caused considerable controversy. But his coaching results can be said to be the pinnacle of Chinese football. How can he be considered by everyone that he will leave the national team?

"If we play well and if we have enough energy, we can still get some good results." Zhao Yaning was puzzled.

But Dazhen just smiled, "Encouragement? Why does it make us angry?"

"Now the people in the Football Association feel that the biggest credit for qualifying this time is good luck in the draw. We are drawn out of Asia, not out of Asia. I haven't seen the media, are they all singing the praises of the lottery? What? Stuff, having a result means good luck and great ability in drawing lots. When the kick is broken, the players are weak and have no good prospects." Dazhen scolded the street and explained the current situation of the national football team to Zhao Yaning.

"Did you hear the words of the first two days of the national football? Win a game, score one, tie a game, and fight for second place in the group... Isn't that a dream? It is still possible to enter Brazil. The Brazilians have not played well recently. , If we are more careless when facing us, maybe we can get one. But winning Costa Rica? Why? People don’t have much experience in competitions, but we don’t have any. Flat Turkey? By what? Turkey’s current physical skills. , Are we saying that the peace can be guaranteed?"

Dazhen sighed and laughed again, "And the most important thing is that if we are really lucky and make it to the knockout rounds, then the Football Association has made a wise decision, outstanding leadership, and proper strategic deployment. If we kick it, who will be in the wrong? It’s not the Football Association anyway."

"If you win without your credit, it is your responsibility to lose. This kind of football, the **** is willing to play." Dazhen cursed, and then turned his head. "You are right, this time. The World Cup, don’t mess around with it. Our old bones will not last long. In this competition, we will play again to raise the nomination and earn some pension money. If you really disturb us, old You guys really can't spare you."

Why do you feel sad as you say this? Zhao Yaning comforted Dazhen with a few words, but he was even more emotional in his heart: How can the national football team play well in this state of mind?

And what makes him even more strange is why he always feels that this is a crime of non-war?

Everyone has their own minds, but the reason for each of them is not for their own desire to express, to score goals, and to win, but because the leadership style of the Football Association seems to be fundamentally problematic. Zhang Yuan talked to him about the struggle for merit after the national team qualified. Zhao Yaning just thought this kind of thing was too disgusting and didn't think about it, but now thinking about it, he found the problem.

The sports committee's credit, the lottery, the coach's advanced football concept, Japan and South Korea's credit for not participating in the trials-but among all these credits, why is there no one mentioning the player's credit?

The ball is played by the players, but when it comes to rewards, the players are ranked last. However, Zhao Yaning believes that if something goes wrong, the game is lost, and the game is finally eliminated, the players must first be blamed for not working hard, and then the coach’s mistakes. As for the Football Association, and the sports committee for cultivating football talents, it will not become The object of blame.

With this division of credit and responsibility, how can players play hard? The motivation is gone, what is the purpose of playing?

When Zhao Yaning was in France, he knew how respected as a football player there. As the captain of a local team, Colin can receive an endorsement contract, and coach Petit is treated as a guest by Albert II because of his outstanding contribution as an assistant coach. But the Chinese football world is not like this.

No one thinks that football is out of the line, and no one thinks it is the contribution of the stars. Because of the bye of the World Cup in Korea and Japan, the competitiveness of Korea and Japan is greatly reduced; because the officials of the Football Association draw a lot of luck and play a weak team; because the coach has a good football concept, everyone is happy with happy football; of course, we should not forget the professionalization of football and the market. The concept of economy introduces the great contribution of football and the arrival of a new era...

But who would stand up and say: The players played really well? People are entangled in the poor performance of the players. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is entangled in the suspension of the players, entangled in the off-court scandals of the players, entangled in the players making too much money, but the players play well. They were all swept away lightly.

Yes, they are really not very good compared with the strong teams in Europe and America. They are indeed lucky to be able to reach the finals. They do have problems of this and that. They are not perfect players. As a national team player, they play well in the game. It is indeed a duty...

But at least they are the ones who run on the field, and they are also the ones who struggle with the weak teams, and it is them who won the qualification this time. But, who did they mention?

Football is a fast-changing profession. Ten years later, people will still remember that the Chinese team drew out of Asia and happy football. But how many people will remember this group of Chinese football players?

Zhao Yaning suddenly understood why they pay attention to seniority, and they are ruthless in doing things. If they don't, they will have nothing.

They have no respect. Their hard-earned merits are divided up by the bureaucrats of the Football Association and taken away as their own achievements. If they don't think of a way to make a profit for themselves, what will they end up playing so hard for?

This is not their problem. Zhao Yaning felt so faintly in his heart. The league is professionalized and the market economy has intervened. However, the football associations and sports committees managed by the upper level are not institutionalized, and there is the saying that political achievements are credited. This way, the distorted composition of the upper and lower connections allows the players to play when they are playing. Confused.

This is where reform is really needed.
