For the sake of traffic, Xu Liang was spurned after retiring!

The national team recruited him, but he didn't want to go; if the national team didn't recruit him, it would be shady! Behind the logical confusion, do you think Xu Liang is just for traffic?

In fact, Xu Liang has always wanted to eat a bowl of football after retiring, but because of personality and other reasons, he can't eat this bowl of rice, and he doesn't want others to eat and drink spicy food in the football circle, so he wants to smash the pot.

Xu Liang has said more than once before that he did not enter the national team when he was in the best state in 2009 because others stuffed money, but he didn't stuff money, so he was targeted.

But does Xu Liang himself remember who the head coach of the national team was in 2009?

In his 4231 system, the players on the two wings must have speed, must have a very strong round-trip ability, and the double back waist must be two sappers who can run and grab, and the only core of the team is the player who plays the front waist. Director Gao successively tried Wang Xinxin, Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin, and Jiang Ning in this core position, until the East Asian semifinals, after Deng Zhuoxiang became famous in South Korea, he established Deng Zhuoxiang as the absolute core.

In Xu Liang's career, he basically played two positions, left back in the early stage, and later transformed into a back midfielder.

Xu Liang was at his peak in Guangyao and Guoan, and his 30-meter sprint was the slowest in the team. When Gao Hongbo's tactical system needs to be implemented by a full-back with speed, will he recruit a player with the slowest speed in the team?

Xu Liang himself said in 2007 that he couldn't do dirty work in the national team. But in fact, when he was working in Guangyao, Shen Xiangfu asked him to do dirty work on some occasions, and he did it. Then why can he do dirty work in the club, but not in the national team? Because he wants to "pretend to be an uncle" in the national team. Gao Hongbo's demand for the back waist at that time was two big shovels that did dirty work, Yang Hao, Zhao Xuri, Huang Bowen, Zheng Zhi, and Yu Tao were all more in line with his needs than him, so why did Gao Hongbo recruit an uncle?

But after Camacho took office, he was completely different from Gao Hongbo's employment.

Li Weifeng and Sun Xiang, who were not used during the Gao Hongbo period, returned to the national team, and Yang Hao, Rong Hao, Qu Bo, Deng Zhuoxiang, and Yu Hai, who were reused during the Gao Hongbo period, were taken out of the starting line (and only Yu Hai later returned to the starting lineup). Compared with the two big shovels in the midfield during the Gao Hongbo period, Camacho's initial tactical assumption was that one was defensive and the other was more organized. At that time, one of the theoretically in line with Camacho's organizational back needs was Huang Bowen, who was in Jeonbuk at the time, one was the all-round fighter Zheng Zhi, and the other was Xu Liang.

In the early days of coaching the national football team, Camacho appeared in the stands of the workers' stadium many times, that is, he came to Xu Liang.

Even in the games that Camacho inspected in the Workers' Stadium, Xu Liang's performance was actually not outstanding. But Camacho is a coach who attaches great importance to data (so he once gave Yu Ziqian an order), and that year the country was ranked second in the league, and Xu Liang, as the tactical core of Guoan, did have good data. In addition, in the first three games of the World Preliminary Tournament that year, Camacho was not satisfied with the performance of Huang Bowen and Chen Tao; But back then, many media revealed that a certain national security player was disheartened by the national team, and now this certain national security player finally jumped out and admitted that he didn't want to go to the national team.

If you don't recruit him, you don't want to go, so should the national team recruit Xu Liang back then?

With Xu Liang's precedent, during the Camacho period, some Evergrande players cheated on injuries as soon as they arrived at the national team call-up, did they learn from Xu Liang?

In fact, Xu Liang was not ashamed of traffic after retiring, and was spurned by many people. It's that when he was a player, he was annoyed by his peers.

In the later stage of the Liaoning team, when Yu Hanchao and Yang Xu first joined the team, he was scolded by him every day, and he was scolded by Xu Liang after the game and couldn't eat.

In Guangyao, after the public beating of Lu Lin was exposed, Xu Liang publicly cursed the media to be careful when they went out. The media who was cursed by Xu Liang really had an accident later! So much so that the circle ridiculed, Xu Liang's mouth was opened.

In some games in Guoan, it was obvious that Xu Liang had a problem handling the ball, but he pointed at Pu Cheng or Zhang Xizhe and scolded.

In 2014 in Shenhua, there was a domestic player who chased a young player to play, and in the end, the young player was forced to leave the first team. At that time, Wang Dalei Dailin had already left, Da Niu was a good man, Cao Yunding's qualifications were not enough, who was the domestic boss?

When he was in Shenzhen, he couldn't run on the field, put aside his walk, and complained to his teammates and blamed the coach as soon as he lost the ball.

Wherever Xu Liang went as a player, the environment was not good; was it the problem of the general environment, or was Xu Liang himself the one who destroyed the general environment? And after retiring, what he did really wanted Chinese football to be good?

In November 2021, when he did not enter the AFC/Chinese Football Association A-level coach training class, Xu Liang cried, and he said in the live broadcast that he was shady. He said that the reason why he was hacked was that as many as 10 of the 24 people selected had never even heard their names.

Then we might as well review the resumes of the 24 people shortlisted in that issue:

Zhang Si: He was a teammate with Xu Liang in Guangyao, and after retiring, he successively served as the goalkeeper coach of the Beijing Football Association, the goalkeeper coach of the national elite training camp of multiple age groups, and the goalkeeper coach of the Hebei team for 21 years.

Yang Jun: Former international player, Xu Liang's national youth teammate, before entering the A-level coach training class, he had already served as the goalkeeper coach of Tianhai and Jinmen Tigers.

Wang Yun: He and Xu Liang entered the national youth and national teams at the same time. Between 19 and 21 years, he successively served as the coach of the Shenhua first team, the head coach of the reserve team, the coach of the U18 national youth team and the assistant coach of the National Olympic Games.

Yu Tao: Xu Liang's old teammate and good friend, who was a coach in the Shenhua reserve team at that time.

Zhang Xiaofei: Xu Liang's hair is small, he served as an assistant coach of the first team of Yatai from 19 to 21, and then went to the Yatai echelon to lead youth training.

Liu Qing: Liu Chunming's beloved apprentice, retired in 19 years and followed Qu Bo to do youth training, and also worked as a lecturer in the D-level class and E-level class in the Qingdao Football Association.

Liu Jianye: A well-known former international player, he was a player and assistant coach in Xiamen in the second division at that time.

Liu Cheng: Xu Liang's former international player at the same time, before entering the A-level class in 21, led youth training at the grassroots level for 5 consecutive years.

Yang Guang: Xu Liang's contemporaries played as the main team in Shenzu, Shenhua and other teams, and after retiring, he worked as a grassroots coach in Yunnan for more than ten years.

Lou Jiahui: As a player, he also serves as the head coach of the Henan women's football team.

Zhu Junye: At that time, he served as a coach and data analyst of Jiangxi Liansheng, as well as a lecturer in the D-level and E-level classes of the Shaanxi Football Association.

Zheng Cheng: In addition to setting up Seabird Football as a youth training, he is also the former coach of the Chinese beach soccer men's national team and the men's futsal national team.

It can be said that the 24 people shortlisted at that time, all of whom had well-known player experience, were basically coaches in the first team. And those players with thin experience also have rich grassroots coaching experience. On the other hand, after Xu Liang retired, he followed Shen Xiangfu to the U25 training team, reporting to the trainer instead of the coach. It was the managers who went to the sky with Shen Xiangfu, not the coaches. Later, Wang Baoshan asked him to go to Henan, and he stayed for a long time before being blown away. In fact, Xu Liang's coaching experience is a blank slate.

When some coaches Xu Liang doesn't know at all and may not look down on, they can write on their resumes "I have worked in the XX Football Association echelon, XX club for 8 years, 10 years, 15 years, how many U-series national competitions have been played in the team, how many national youth players have been brought out, how many national youth players, how many national Olympic players, how many players have played in the Chinese Super League, how many players have entered the national team, and how many echelon competition championships have been won." Xu Liang's resume after retiring is only, how many pairs of socks I sell every night, how many goods I bring every week, how many times I start broadcasting, if you are the relevant person in charge of the technical department of the Chinese Football Association, who will you give the precious A-level class place to at that time?

What's more, before the A-level class, there was an elite coach study class at that time, and the former national football coach Fu Bo personally called Xu Liang, and Xu Liang didn't go in the end. Fu Bo asked him to go, but he didn't go, he had to choose him if he wanted to go? When he didn't even have a basic view of right and wrong for the sake of traffic, who else in this industry would dare to take him to play?
