On the first day of the Chinese New Year, the national football team added to the blockage of the people of the whole country, and the away game was lost to the Vietnamese team.
Thousands of miles away, China's third largest island, an old coach who has struggled for Chinese football all his life, has not slept all night. The second day of the Chinese New Year, the 78th birthday of Xu Genbao, a famous shanghai and Chinese football star, said frankly: "I am definitely not happy that the national football team loses, this is still the first day of the First Tiger Year of the New Year!" ”
After the national football team lost, Xu Genbao's love fan Zhiyi made a remark on Weibo, which instantly rushed to the hot search. In this regard, Xu Genbao also made a euphemistic criticism of the disciple who had won the honor of Asian Footballer of the Year: "We footballers should not be commentators, nor should we be prophets, General Fan Should be a doer of football." ”
Many disciples threw themselves into youth training
Every year on the second day of the Chinese New Year, the Genbao Football Base is full of popularity and warmth. Many disciples will come to this familiar venue to relive the good times of training competitions and learning to play balls in the past, and send birthday wishes to the teacher. Although international footballers such as Wu Lei, Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng, Wang Shenchao and Zhu Chenjie have not yet returned to China and have no choice but to be absent, many team members trained by the base still spontaneously meet to visit their mentor Xu Genbao.
Lu Wenjun, Cai Huikang, Fu Huan, etc., who played in the Shanghai Harbor Team, came, Shenhua team members Eddie, Zhou Junchen, etc. also came, and even the team members who had left the base for many years, such as Zhang Chenglin, Wang Jiayu, Wang Yunlong, etc., also came to the base to find the happiness of suffering with their friends. Zhang Chenglin said: "I have been away from the base for 21 years, and when I came back, I still felt that many things had not changed, and I immediately found the feeling of chasing dreams before. ”
These disciples who have retired or are ready to retire, the first choice is to learn from their mentor Xu Genbao and do football youth training from scratch. Wang Jiayu set up a youth football club in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, and the local authorities are also very supportive, but recently encountered some technical problems. Wang Jiayu especially came back to ask for advice from his mentor, and Genbao also helped him to seriously analyze and make suggestions. Cai Huikang once again expressed his attitude to Genbao: "When I retire, I am willing to return to Chongming Island and give Xu Guidance a youth coach!" ”
Twenty years of sharpening his sword, Genbao humbly continued to work hard
In 2000, Xu Genbao invested more than 6 million yuan in his entire wealth and borrowed another 23 million yuan to build a genbao football base to cultivate football talents for Shanghai and China. 22 years later, in the starting lineup of the national football team last night, the only Chinese player Wu Lei who played in the five major leagues in Europe was Gen Bao Ai, with Yan Junling, Wang Shenchao, Zhang Linpeng and Zhu Chenjie and other "Chongming manufacturing", but the national football team lost to vietnam for the first time in the history of the away game, which made the old coach feel a little depressed.
Genbao sighed: "I have been engaged in football bases for 20 years, and I can only say that I still have to work hard and continue to work. But I'm old after all, and I hope that you will retire and work together and work together. Chinese football will not be able to produce results for a while and a half, that is, hard work is not enough. I hope that our players can be down-to-earth workers who change Chinese football. ”
Xu Genbao also specially designated the relevant team members one by one to comfort the teammates who played the national football competition, "They have shortcomings, mistakes, but they need to be encouraged, and the current Chinese football should be calm and rational." In the end, we still have to rely on hard work, not just prediction and criticism. ”
Hands-on, but also to build a youth training echelon
Today, there are still two youth training echelons in the Genbao base, Xu Genbao personally participates in each training class every day, and his signature voice still rings in the green field. This time, the disciples came back to visit the teacher, Xu Genbao, in addition to entertaining the base specialty root bao wontons, also had a football training game: the disciples were invited to watch the confrontation between the two echelons of the base together, and instilled some experience in the youth training training to the apprentices.
Genbao and the disciples exchanged warmly: "You can't make money in youth training, you have to use the money you earn to supplement the players." As Xu Genbao's most famous disciple, Fan Zhiyi's family of three arrived late, but it was a perfect escape from Genbao's criticism. Previously, Xu Genbao made it clear that Fan Zhiyi did have the ability to spread across the Internet and had a good influence, but as a football person, "he should not be a commentator and a prophet, and General Fan Should be a football doer." ”
As a member of the Shanghai East Asia "Wenwu Zhengrong" frontcourt trident combination, technical team member Zhu Zhengrong bluntly said that it is normal for the national football team to lose to Vietnam. "It is not surprising to see the national football team lose to Vietnam, although we won the last round, but professional people should have a bottom in mind, the level of Chinese and Vietnamese football is now almost the same, who wins is normal, this is the truth." In contrast, I quite feel that the Vietnamese team played more like the 'rushing the siege and passing and turning' that xu guide has been pursuing, and our techniques and tactics seem to have nothing..."
As the sun sets, Genbao sits in a humble wooden stand and watches the training match between the youth echelons. He specially called the children of the love generals to sit together in the group, "The future is to rely on them, I hope that we will work hard, the future can cultivate excellent players, form an excellent team... Chinese footballers must inspire their fighting spirit to change the existing appearance, and must cultivate stars. We have not done enough people, in the future, if one becomes ten, ten becomes a hundred, I believe that Chinese football may change a little. ”
