Chinese Football Unsolved Case: The Death of Sichuan Foot, Wei Qun "Asked to Behead"

author:Midfield conspirators

2002 was the beginning of the "Kawazu" colonial era, although as early as the previous year they had lost the name "Quanxing".

In this year, Sichuan Quanxing Group withdrew from football and sold all the club and Chengdu Pujiang Quanxing Base, and the acquirer was Dalian Dahe Investment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Dalian Shide Group. The latter established the Sichuan Dahe Club and continued to participate in the league.

This kind of change, marking the Sichuan Football since then into the catastrophe of the "real German system", the team finished 14th that season, relying on the World Cup year to cancel the relegation policy, Sichuan Football still remained in the top league.

After the end of the season, Xu Hong, the head coach of Dalian Saidron, led the "Dalian class" to land in Sichuan, and the main lineup of Sichuan Dahe began to fall apart.

In order to appease some media reporters who opposed the Shide system, the Sichuan Provincial Football Association came forward to invite a meal, and in order to educate the unruly reporters to admit the purpose of Shide's rule of Sichuan football, a senior official said this sentence: "Sichuan people have never been able to handle Sichuan's own affairs."

His basis is that the Shu Han culture, which Sichuan people are most proud of, is actually not the culture of Sichuan, Liu Bei is from Hebei, and Shandong and Henan people have been arguing about Zhuge Liang's origin.

If Liu Bei's son Liu Chan is a native of Chengdu, he has lost his ancestral business, and this Chengdu person's contribution to Chinese history and culture is to create two idioms: "Adou who can't be helped" and "happy to think about Shu".

"Ask" Wei Qun

Wei Qun is a scoop-style character, in his blood, walking in football is the same as walking in the rivers and lakes, except for a ball skill, which is the word "righteousness".

From Zhu Guanghu's national youth team to Xu Hong's acquaintance, and then to Qi Wusheng's national team, Wei Qun and Dalian people have a friendship that he values very much.

When Xu Hong was announced as the head coach of the Sichuan team, almost everyone's first reaction was: "Wei Qun's good days have begun." ”

Legend has it that Wei Qun happily greeted Xu Hong and Xu Tao brothers at Shuangliu Airport. In his BMW, Wei Qun said to Xu Hong: "Don't worry, you are the head coach of the Sichuan team, and I will definitely take my brothers to tie it up for you." ”

After hearing Wei Qun's confession of courage and loyalty, Xu Hong's brows furrowed imperceptibly.

The legend of the rivers and lakes has made the following footnotes: Xu Hong is more willing to lead a group of brothers to break into the world, and Wei Qun takes a group of brothers to "tie up" for him, who is the real boss of Sichuan.

When the brother becomes a master and apprentice, everything starts to go sour. Xu Hong came to Sichuan with a mission, and this matter may only be known to him. Soon after, Sichuan Dahe announced the list of listed for sale, and the situation in Shu changed abruptly.

In the vacuum period after Quanxing left Sichuan Football, Li Bing, who acted as the team's head coach, did not appear in Xu Hong's assistant coaching team.

When Yao Xia and Zou Yungen went to the Pujiang base with Wei Qun and Xu Jianye to find Qu Qingcai to ask for an explanation, they were adopted a divide-and-conquer strategy.

Yao Xia and Zou Yungen were asked to immediately sign a contract for the new season and go to Hainan that night to participate in spring training, while Wei Qun and Xu Jianye were told to stay in Chengdu and stand by.

Soon after, the Great River Club announced the list of listed for sale, and Wei Qun was impressively listed.

At the Chengdu Sports Center, where nothing but the chilly wind and muddy turf remained, 34-year-old Li Bing's tears suddenly welled up. Then Li Bing announced his retirement, and Wei Qun, Gao Jianbin and Xu Jianye were put on the transfer list.

Chuanzu only left Yao Xia, Zou Yungen, and Ma Mingyu, who was regarded as the banner of the Sichuan team. Somewhat ironically, Wei Qun, who was appointed by the Shide Department as the deputy general manager of Sichuan Dahe Club at the beginning of the year, was abandoned by the team at the end of the season.

In a teahouse in the south of the city, Ma Mingyu said four words to Wei Qun: "Advance and retreat together." Wei Qun immediately told Ma Mingyu's promise to Yao Xia, who was far away in Hainan.

Yao Xia then made what may be the most important decision of his life, he told Xu Hong that he asked for a transfer and asked to leave the Sichuan team where he had lived for 12 years.

Ma Mingyu returned to service

Until this time, Ma Mingyu, another major figure of Sichuan football, was not on the cusp, as early as after the end of the World Cup, the veteran who was over 30 years old has repeatedly said that he will no longer play football, and Ma Mingyu seems to be ignored in the conflict between the Sichuan football veteran and Sichuan Dahe.

One night in December 2002, various media outlets in Chengdu received a call from Qu Qingcai, the general manager of the Dahe Club, which surprised and flattered the Chengdu media, who had been somewhat disdainful of associating with the local media in Sichuan.

Qu Qingcai told the Chengdu media that Ma Mingyu, who had repeatedly said that he would retire after the end of the 2002 season, decided to "overtime his service" to help Sichuan Football overcome the difficulties when many of the main players of the Sichuan team were lost.

Chengdu public opinion was in an uproar, Ma Mingyu has been Wei Qun's close friend for many years, and when Wei Qun was sold by the club, Ma Mingyu, who was already preparing to retire, suddenly announced his return, which is incredible.

The news of Ma Mingyu's return to military service, which was reported by the Chengdu media one after another the next day, put Ma Mingyu in a huge whirlpool of public opinion, "betraying friends for glory", which is a word that people did not say, but wanted to say.

At the same time, Wei Qun's transfer process was miserable, and he was only persuaded by Qi Wusheng to go on loan to Hongta hours before the transfer door closed.

Qi Wusheng said in an interview with the media: "Wei Qun can't be deposed like this, I want to bring him to Yunnan." I know what he's capable of, I've taken him to the national team. ”

Zou Yungen said that he never thought of leaving Sichuan, and the only time was the split of Lao Chuanzu caused by Dalian Shide's hand after Wei Qun, which almost made him follow the "Yao Xiamen" out of Sichuan, but because his wife was pregnant, he had to dispel his thoughts.

After arriving in Kunming, Wei Qun had two names that he was reluctant to mention: Xu Hong and Ma Mingyu.

The day after Wei Qun was removed from the team, Yao Xia did two things: sent his wife to the club to get back the unstamped contract, and then went back to Chengdu to tear the contract to shreds with his own hands.

At that time, Li Zhangxi had always admired Yao Xia, and after learning of his situation, he quickly took action and brought Yao Xia to Qingdao Zhongneng.

So far, no one can understand Ma Mingyu's purpose of choosing to stick to Wei Qun for another year after leaving Sichuan, and the end of Wei Qun's listing seems to have been doomed after the three-stop turmoil in April 2002.

The so-called Lao Chuanzu fell apart after that year, they had the best beginning, but they welcomed the most wordless ending.
