At the beginning of 2000, the transfer and delisting of domestic football players had ended; and the whereabouts of the famous football player Ou Chuliang were still uncertain at that time.
Before that, Ou Chuliang once said: "Only to the A team, absolutely not to A B", which caused an uproar in the industry.
People began to seriously and fiercely discuss the "national gate" god, and the two clubs, Shenhua and Shuntian, reacted differently to this.
When the reporter asked Ou Chuliang whether he was worried about where he would go in the future, he only got this answer: "The transfer matter is not over, although Shuntian and Shenhua signed an agreement, but it is a matter of two clubs, and I will never go to Jia B to play football." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > assistant coach with a heart for football</h1>
Under the impact of the epidemic, almost all industries have shown a sluggish appearance, and football is no exception.
At this time, He Chuliang, who had already retired from the army and served as an assistant teacher of the national football team, had good expectations for the prospects of the national football team. "The goal we set is to make it to the World Cup, which is our main goal!" He said seriously.
However, such words have always been seen as arrogant; after all, as far as the current situation is concerned, the national team cannot even qualify from the group, let alone mention the current match scene of the round of 12.
"Football is first and foremost a very likely project, anything can happen, and if we don't dare to put forward these goals when Chinese football is facing a low tide, this is not what we want.
All we want is to rush out of Asia and reach the World Cup. Of course, we have to qualify for the top 40 first, and I think if we don't even have this confidence, let's not talk about football, we have full confidence and preparation in this regard.
On the issue of national football, Ou Chuliang has always shown enough confidence and patience. Since retiring from the team and working in coaching and football management, Ou Chuliang's understanding of the sport has taken a step further.
The current national football team is not the same as in the past, and many foreign players have joined the national team, injecting different strength into this team. But naturalized players are not Chinese after all, and they show many inconveniences in their daily training: their Chinese is not fluent, and they are culturally different from Chinese.
Fortunately, Ou Chuliang said: "Naturalized players do not have any privileges in the national team, they are treated equally, and some foreign aides in the club have some privileges, but they are all treated equally in the national team." They are simple, you just give him the task, he will certainly complete it without discount, absolutely not lazy. ”
Since engaging in team management, Ou Chuliang has obviously had a completely different experience from when he was a player before. Unlike others, Ou Chuliang has always understood the importance of youth training.
The peculiarity of football is that the athletes who have been trained so hard a decade ago may not show their efficacy after a long period of time; it is a sport with a long cycle of events and very slow results.
Many people think that as long as a team has a talented player, it can turn the tide on the field, which is a wrong view.
'As a first-line coach for more than a decade, I found myself not making much of a difference to football and powerless to change a lot of things.
In a competition in 2018, Henan Jianye "fought" all the way out, and thought that such a game could become a satisfactory account of the year of 2018, but the fact was not satisfactory.
Player Ricardo was sent off by an unknowing referee, followed. Gu Cao in the team was also treated the same way.
"It was the most angry game I've had in so many years. Originally, this game could have been used as the first step in the future direction of development. For some reason, we didn't do that in this game and that's where I'm very disappointed and angry. Talking about this matter, Ou Chuliang only felt extremely emotional and helpless.
At the same time, the unprecedented expectations of fans and spectators for football teams have subtly become a burden on football workers, and Ou Chuliang is not spared.
If possible, he admits that he would rather contribute to the development of football in his youth, but such a move is often not understood by others. People always say: can the expectations of Chinese football be realized in the Year of the Monkey?
When faced with such doubts, Ou Chuliang knew that it was useless to speak, and he could only prove to these fanatical fans with practical actions who were right.
One year, Henan Jianye Club wanted to build a team other than the club team, and also wanted to cooperate with many schools to tap potential young players; unexpectedly, they found Ou Chuliang, hoping that he would serve as the club's deputy general manager, youth training director, technical director and so on.
Ou Chuliang agreed, he was very optimistic about the model of youth training. But these 12- to 20-year-old children, after all, still have a child's nature and like to have fun.
If they just blindly "shut" them up in the football base and train day and night, they will have a lot of rebellious feelings because of the lack of school education and family education, which is extremely unfavorable to their growth.
Fortunately, Ou Chuliang explained to the media with a smile: "We also cooperate with many schools to train young players, they are not kept in captivity in the base. ”
The club will actively let children learn cultural classes in addition to training, so that even if they cannot go smoothly on the road of professional football in the future, the children will have the foundation of their lives and will not become social youth without cultural skills.
In this way, parents have no worries; over time, will fans and friends still have concerns?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > the mainstay of "Shenzhou Goalkeeper"</h1>
Born in Luoding, Guangdong Province, Ou Chuliang was the son of a famous anti-Japanese general; this heroic and famous anti-Japanese hero could not have imagined that his grandson would one day become the mainstay of Chinese football.
Ou Chuliang's family is Shuxiang Mendi, whose ancestors had won the imperial examination, but when he reached the generation of Ou Chuliang's grandfather Ou Shounian, he had already fallen into the middle of the family. Fortunately, Ou Shounian was Cai Tingkai's nephew, and the former used his relationship to expand his territory on the battlefield.
After the outbreak of the "128" incident, although Ou Shounian was a Kuomintang officer, he was well aware of the principle that the country was destroyed and everyone died; during the period when the Kuomintang was committed to sweeping the Communist Party to the end and implementing a policy of non-resistance against the Japanese army invading China, Ou Shounian bravely raised the banner of anti-Japanese righteousness and called on people to actively resist Japan.
He also led the 78th Division of the 19th Army under his command to resist the Japanese army invading China with all his might, and the 33-day struggle made people see his sincerity in resisting Japan.
Although he was unable to annihilate the Japanese army, Ou Shounian was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun by the Nationalist government and became a national hero of the Anti-Japanese War.
Coincidentally, decades later, Ou Chuliang also became a pivotal figure in Chinese football. Although he was born, ou shou nian had passed away, he did not have many time and memories with his grandfather.
But everything is like engraved in the genes, and the physical fitness of Ou Chuliang in his childhood has far surpassed that of other children, and like his grandfather in the past, he has a tough physique like a soldier.
Because he grew up in the compound of the military region, Ou Chuliang's personality was not introverted. Mingling with the children was a trivial matter for him.
Ou Chuliang's excellent sports genes have long been reflected in his youth, he loves sports, running, table tennis, badminton and basketball and other sports he played properly.
Among many sports, football is a favorite of Au Chu Liang. And his love for football is also inseparable from the influence and guidance of his uncle.
The uncle's two sons were about the same age as himself, and the two cousins were transferred from Guangzhou to Sichuan at that time, and usually studied at the Junyi Stadium in the amateur sports school in Dongshan District, Guangzhou.
Ou Chuliang often accompanied them, although he had never joined the football team to train, but after a long time, he had a special interest in football: "Football is so fun!" ”
After that, he pestered his uncle and asked him to send him to study football.
Coach Li Zhaosong fell in love with this little ghost at a glance - Ou Chuliang is thin and slender, and he is really a good seedling to be a goalkeeper. In 1980, domestic sports were nationally organized. It is impossible to embark on a professional path only by relying on the training of coaches.
Coincidentally, Chen Hanlin, a veteran of Guangdong football and the head coach of the Guangdong youth team, discovered the "seed" of Ou Chuliang by chance; he brought the former into the Guangdong youth team and began to train him formally and professionally.
Under such training, Ou Chuliang's skills were soon greatly improved: his reaction speed was more than twice as agile as before.
In 1990, Au Chu Liang finally got a precious opportunity to play, at that time, because of the strong promotion of his mentor Chen Hanlin, he was already well-known in football circles.
This fame makes him a little fluttery, and it is also doomed that his football career will not be smooth. Sure enough, in this year's final four "Kodak Cup", Ou Chuliang suffered a big pain.
This game was extremely hard, and although Ou Chuliang had undergone a lot of training before, he had no actual combat experience after all. The fledgling he has some veterans of the battlefield, and the results are unsustainable.
After a game, Ou Chuliang performed poorly and was fed 15 "big watermelons" by the opposite side. But the young man was not discouraged, he was ashamed and courageous, took these failures as valuable lessons, and soon walked out of frustration.
In 1992, the Russian powerhouse Rodel team came to China to play, and Ou Chuliang used all his strength in this ball game, repeatedly making left and right blocks, and pushing back the football that was almost shot into the goal.
The Chinese team won a big victory, and his outstanding performance was frequently praised by the opposing team leader: "The Chinese goalkeeper is so good! ”
Since then, in the two matches against Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, Ou Chuliang has still exerted great energy, reversing the situation and turning the danger into a disaster many times.
His increasingly exquisite skills were seen by many fans; this "handsome boy" who chewed gum was praised by people after a few games. I think that his title of "the first gate of Shenzhou" was also spread from that time.
But with the increase in fame is accompanied by evaluation of him in all aspects. Not long after, someone stood up and said: Ou Chuliang is only 1 meter 8 tall, which is his short stature, but also his hard injury and disadvantage.
Many people began to doubt Ou Chuliang's strength, and despite his many brilliant performances on the green field, the latter was still hurt by malicious rumors.
Fortunately, more and more fans stood up; they had snowy eyes and saw the reaction ability and agile bouncing ability of Ou Chuliang.
At the same time, Chu Liang, a well-known publication, commented: "He seems to have been born to be an athlete." After becoming a famous person, he is more concerned and more stressed than ordinary people. However, Ou Chuliang has never been shaken, with his love and desire for football to win honor for the motherland, and strive to play in style and level on the green field, and become an excellent football player. ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="26" > son inherits the football spirit of his father's business</h1>
In 2004, Au Chu Liang left the stadium that haunted his dreams, but he did not completely give up his beloved football career.
Since this year, Ou Chuliang has been hired as an assistant coach of the "08 Olympic Star" of the Chinese Football Association, and his job on weekdays is to lead the team to overseas for training and to participate in the competition with the team.
His efforts have always been obvious to everyone, and his love has been witnessed by everyone. One year, Ou Chuliang met Guan Xueqing, who was still studying at sports school. This girl is learning to dive and dreams of one day shining on the Olympic field.
Ou Chuliang and Guan Xueqing were both young girls at that time, and their friendship was difficult to hide; the two met because of sports, and under the encouragement and excitement of each other, they eventually became husband and wife.
Soon after the marriage, Ou Chuliang's son Ou Weitao was born. This little guy apparently inherited his father's powerful football genes, and showed amazing football talent at a young age.
Ou Chuliang was very happy about this, his mantle would eventually be passed on, how could this not make him proud? Ou Weitao followed in his father's footsteps and entered the Henan Jianye Football Club to serve him.
Compared with his father's advantageous position, Au Weitao is better at playing as a defender. In the U23 league a few years ago, Ou Weitao, dressed in the number 52 shirt, stood in the position of defensive center-back, the defender; his eyes were shining brightly, staring at the football lying on the grass.
In fact, as early as the age of 19, there were countless topics about him; many fans believe that there are people who follow him - they are even more excited than Ou Chuliang' biological father.
But Ou Chuliang has always maintained a sober understanding, telling the media that his son "plays at center-back, but also can play full-back". But when talking about his son's career prospects, Ou Chuliang admitted frankly: "He needs to be improved in his professional skills in football. ”
To this end, Ou Weitao, who has just entered the university, chose to take a year off from school and concentrate on professional football training. But after all, professional football is very different from amateur football, which Ou Chuliang cannot deny.
Although the son showed great talent in the early days, every player who can enter the professional football team has a special skill. In the end, Ou Weitao gave up football and returned to the university campus.
"Probably psychologically he wasn't completely ready. Maybe, he's under pressure from me, and people will say it's the son of whoever..."
Speaking of this, Ou Chuliang was slightly sorry, but he also said that he 100% supported the decision made by his son: "But after all, the child is older, he should have his own choices, and he should respect his decision." ”
When talking about his current "main business" youth training, Ou Chuliang still has a lot of feelings:
"Mr. Lang Xiaonong once engaged in youth training in Jianye, and he built a good youth training platform for Jianye. Although the path we are taking now is not 100% as Lang Xiaonong thought, it is very close.
For example, we once 'caught' a group of twelve- and thirteen-year-olds playing soccer, but so many children will face competition, survival of the fittest. Some will enter the first team, some will go to other teams, the rest will be eliminated, because they play football for a long time, far from cultural education, it is difficult to enter the society, we did not give them the ability to go to the society, which is the biggest lack of our youth training system.
So we changed the model and approached the campus. This can not only reduce the burden on the team, but also reduce the worries of parents and let the children have one more choice in the future. ”
Throughout Ou Chuliang's national football career, he has actually been rotating between the role of substitute and main player. Although everyone says that "height is Ou Chuliang's shortcoming and his limitation", the latter's mentality can always be maintained well.
Sometimes, Ou Chuliang did not have the opportunity to play, he could only sit on the cold bench and watch his teammates struggle to "fight" on the court.
But the youthful mentality has long faded, whether it is not red when becoming a substitute, or not complacent when he appears as a main player, Ou Chuliang has been using his own efforts to prove to fans and spectators that he is a player worthy of respect.
