The position of goalkeeper is actually a very mysterious position. Why? If the team is strong enough to overwhelm the opponent in the half, then the goalkeeper is almost an idle job, and can watch on the pitch. On the contrary, the opposing goalkeeper will be in a hurry, losing sight of one or the other, sweating profusely. Of course, this situation is difficult to see in the professional arena. The strength of the national football team today is not very strong, so the goalkeeper of the national football team can be said to be a very important position. Fortunately, the national football goalkeepers like Da Lei, Zeng Cheng, Yan Junling guarded, except for Da Lei's occasional mistakes, the performance of the other two was quite stable. And they were all taught in the former guomen, Ou Chuliang.
As can be seen from the photos, Ou Chuliang is the shortest of them, but the technology is not worse than a few of them. Being less than 1.8 meters tall is a disadvantage for goalkeepers, but quick reflexes and good bouncing ability are a major advantage for goalkeepers. Ou Chuliang made good use of these two advantages to make up for the lack of height, so that he grew into a generation of national doors step by step. When he was a player, he has joined 4 teams in China's top league, and among these 4 teams, the most sad estimate for him is Shanghai Shenhua. In the listing and sale incident of that year, there was no greeting in advance, and many years later, when Ou Chuliang talked about this matter, it was still difficult to let go.
It is reasonable to say that Ou Chuliang, who was born in 1968, was in his early 30s when he listed the incident that year, and this age is the golden age of goalkeepers. Why Shenhua decided this way, according to the analysis of later professionals, although the goalkeeper is older and more mature and stable, his reaction ability has also decreased accordingly. In this way, Ou Chuliang's height has no advantage, and it may be because of his age that his reaction ability in the game has also decreased, and he has been ruthlessly sold. Even so, he personally won the title of the best goalkeeper 2 times. In the 2002 World Cup, the call for Chu Liang to play was still very high, but although Chu Liang accompanied him, he did not play, and Jiang Jin, who was also born in 1968 with a height of 1 meter 98, became the main goalkeeper. This is the regret of Ou Chuliang's life.
Chu Liang, who has now retired, obtained the FIFA Coaching Training Course qualification certificate in 2004 and became the first coach in China to hold this certificate. As a result, he successively served as the assistant coach of the National Olympic Games, the assistant coach of the national football team, the goalkeeper coach of Jianye, and the head coach of the Guangzhou team of the Provincial Hong Kong Cup. In 2017, he officially became the deputy general manager of Henan Jianye Football Club. At the recent key moment of Jianye relegation, Ou Chuliang also made a cameo appearance as Jianye goalkeeper coach, leading the team to thrilling relegation.
Ou Chuliang has been playing steadily on the court, and his life off the court is also smooth and stable. He and his wife Guan Xueqing have known each other in sports school since childhood, and they can be called a pair of green plum bamboo horses. Guan Xueqing is also an athlete, and she also won the diving championship at the National Games. The district director's wife is very low-key and rarely appears in public, and this photo is a group photo of the family when they travel.
Like many famous players in the national football team, Ou Chuliang's son Ou Weitao is also engaged in football. Ou Weitao is now a member of the Henan Jianye U19 team. Not long ago, the U23 League kicked off, and Ou Weitao, wearing the No. 52 shirt, was selected for the Jianye U23 list, and he also shouldered the responsibility of defending as a defender. Au WeiTao said that he had only officially received football training since junior high school, and at first wanted to inherit his father's career as a goalkeeper, but due to his height, the coach arranged for him to be a defender, and now he is familiar with the position of defender. In this U23 League, I hope that this famous player can play in the future, play his due level, and win glory for the Jianye team.
