Special correspondent Rong Youyou reported, "Zhao Yibo, we all know each other, we have played together, and just now we joked with other teammates that he is more unlucky than me." When he said this, Gan Yingbo also laughed! Zhao Yibo of Guangdong South China Tigers Club has been constantly encountering unpaid wages and disbanding from the team since the beginning of his career... With Zhao Yibo's same disease is the former Sichuan FC team member Gan Yingbo!
Born in 1985, Gan Yingbo is an authentic Sichuanese, a youth training product of Sichuan Quanxing, and his career has been under the sky of Sichuan football since he played in the first team in 2003. Unfortunately, Gan Yingbo's highlight moments of Sichuan football were short-lived, and confusion and loss followed.
Sichuan Guancheng fell from the Chinese Super League, he was in it; Sichuan FC dissipated from the Middle League, he was in it; Sichuan West Zhigu, Chengdu Tiancheng was disbanded after being demoted to the Middle B, he was also in it - from the Chinese Super League, the Chinese First Division to the Chinese Second Division, a number of Sichuan teams in these three leagues disbanded, and Gan Yingbo, who insisted on "staying in Sichuan", experienced a different kind of "Grand Slam".
Football has abused me a thousand times, and I treat football like my first love. Gan Yingbo of the "big heart" said that Sichuan football is in a trough, but it can't change his love for football, it is good to have a professional team to play, and if you don't play dam ball...

Crown City era, monthly salary of 1500
In 2003, at the age of 19, Gan Yingbo made his career debut at the Chengdu Sports Center in a match between Sichuan Dahe and Bayi in the A League, which was his biggest dream of playing football since he was a child. At the moment when his dream came true, Gan Yingbo never expected that his future football career would be so bumpy! It is at this age that Ma Mingyu, who is also a back player, hopes that this small, Chengdu kid who likes to use his left foot can inherit his mantle and become the core of the future midfield of Sichuan football.
In 2004, 20-year-old Gan Yingbo made his first start against Beijing Guoan. Before half-time, in a midfield scramble, Yang Pu raised his elbow and hit his brow bone. In the case of bleeding brow bone, the head wrapped in bandages of Dry Yingbo hit the whole field, and Sichuan fans remembered this brave player... This time in the opening battle, Gan Yingbo also learned from his cousin Tan Wangsong how to use the soil method to solve the trick of washing his hair without infection after opening, "He is often injured, has experience, he uses golden eye ointment to apply it to the wound to wash his hair, will not be infected..."
In 2005, in the match against Shenyang Jinde, Gan Yingbo broke through in midfield to win a free kick, after Zou Yougen quickly kicked off, the midfielder passed the ball, Liu Yu received the ball and stabbed, And Gan Yingbo, who followed up in the middle, calmly stopped the ball and entered the penalty area, using his habitual left foot shot to score the first goal of his career!
"Crown City was the happiest time of the time. At that time, I was young and wanted to be happy to be able to play. At that time, Tan Wangsong, Liu Yu, Wang Peng and other people who were on the team together were teammates who played football together in middle school. To this day, Gan Yingbo remembers his income at that time, "1500 yuan a month, really, in the Guancheng era is this salary." ”

With a monthly salary of 1500 yuan, Gan Yingbo received the end of 2005, and when Gan Yingbo was looking forward to his new season in the Chinese Super League, the first team disbandment of his football career came!
After the end of the league that year, Sichuan Guancheng Club began to seek transfer, although the transfer fee fell again and again, and even The Success Group only offered a transfer fee of 4 million yuan for Sichuan enterprises (excluding Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Xuri and several other players), but until the registration deadline, there was no Sichuan enterprise! On January 26, 2006, the Sichuan Provincial Sports Bureau announced that the team that continued the blood of the brilliant Quanxing team was dissolved!
This year, Gan Yingbo was only 22 years old. Shide chose what they thought was the best team member to go to Dalian Shide, including Tan Wangsong. In order not to be selected by Shide, the stubborn Tan Wangsong deliberately did not take it seriously in training, and in his own words: "I stopped the ball with two strokes (front of the calf)..."
"It's a real pity that the Champions League disbanded. At that time, the strength of the team was relatively strong, and it was playing in the Chinese Super League, the platform was completely different, it was the time of the rise, if I could play how good. At this time, Gan Yingbo deeply realized that Sichuan football is not as concerned as the Quanxing era, but in addition to regrets, he does not regret his choice, football is the most sincere love in his life!

Summer school out of the "ball idiot"
Why love football so much? Gan Yingbo himself did not know. In fact, in the Sichuan football circle or the Chengdu amateur football circle, Gan Yingbo's nickname "Mao Mao" is more famous. Whether it is professional football, or amateur football, as long as there is time, shouting Mao Mao kicks the ball he is happy, every time the league truce, Mao Mao can even represent different amateur teams to play several games a day, from 11 aside to 5 a side, as long as there is a football kick, Mao Mao is happy, regardless of the strength of the opponent. Once, a friend invited him to join a media amateur team to play against the women's youth team, and Mao Mao gladly went there.
Mao Mao himself feels that his love for football comes from the living environment from childhood. Gan Yingbo and cousin Tan Wangsong were both born at Sichuan University, and the football atmosphere on campus obviously affected his interest, "When we were young, our parents loved to play on the school court, and we saw those college students playing football, and they often liked it. At that time, the football atmosphere of Sichuan University was very good, casually swinging a goal in the playground, and there were people playing football everywhere. ”
In the summer vacation when he was 6 years old, Mao Mao was sent by his mother to the Sichuan Provincial Sports Technology Institute to learn to play football, which was a summer training class run by an old coach of the Sichuan team, "The ones who brought us from childhood were good coaches, all of whom were coaches of the Sichuan provincial team." "At the end of the summer school, Mao Mao started weekend classes again, until he went to elementary school, at this time he has begun to play football with college students of Sichuan University," Elementary school is in the university, very close to the court, not to play to see those college students play football. ”
In Chuanda Elementary School, Mao Mao and Tan Wangsong became the stars of the school, "Later, both of our brothers transferred to the School of Chengshi Annex, where more attention was paid to football. After we went, the results of the division attached squad were very good. After graduating from primary school, Mao Mao and Tan Wangsong were selected by the Sichuan Quanxing team together, became members of the echelon, and entered Shuanglin Middle School, while studying and receiving formal football training.

Not long ago, Mao Mao in his circle of friends did not know how to turn to the Shuanglin Middle School "junior 99 class three class mid-term examination report card", a closer look, later became a professional player or coach of the people who did not have bad results, Tan Wangsong even tied for the fourth place in the class, Mao Mao is tied for 16th place. Until now, Mao Mao believed that if he didn't play football, he and Tan Wangsong might be admitted to college and start another life, but their love for football made them choose professional football...
Now, during the rest time, Mao Mao will always take his son to play at the Sichuan Stadium. However, the current Sichuan University Stadium will no longer have a scene of college students playing wild ball in the sea. In the Guancheng era, during the offseason of the league, Mao Mao would also play wild ball at the Sichuan Stadium, "playing with those college students". There was once a passage that spread widely, Mao Mao played wild football in Sichuan University and was often educated by college students, "Will you play football Oh..." Encountering these, Mao Mao never showed his identity as a professional player, "Professional and amateur football play are not the same." ”
As a 36-year-old veteran who has also obtained a B-level coach certificate, Mao Mao has a deeper understanding of the current decline in Chinese football, "It is true that a generation is not as good as a generation, and I feel that the problem lies in the most basic training when I was a child." The enlightenment coaches when we were young were all the old coaches of the Sichuan team, and the coaches who could be coaches in that era were the best players of the professional team. It is difficult for the current team members to meet such an enlightenment coach, many children with children can not play football, how to lay a solid foundation for children? ”

300,000 arrears of wages, too lazy to complain
"If you look at Mao Mao, then look at your technology, the Chinese Super League is the Chinese Super League." After Gan Yingbo attended the first training session of Sheffield United, Li Bing once taught the young players in the team at that time.
In 2006, Mao Mao was torn between the main force and the substitutes at Sheffield United. "The salary at Sheffield United wasn't high either, I remember it was 7,000 a month. I don't value money seriously, as long as there is a ball, I am happy. ”
Mao Mao, who grew up in Chengdu, almost never thought that he would go to play football in other places, as long as there is a team in Sichuan, his choice is the team in Sichuan. At the end of 2007, Chengdu Sheffield United successfully overtook under the leadership of Li Bing! Mao Mao felt that it was difficult for him to play the main force in Sheffield United, so he chose to transfer, "I still know myself clearly, and I still have a number of abilities. ”
This time the transfer was to play in the Sichuan team of the Middle League, in this team Mao Mao became the main player, but the team's sponsors changed, to the end of the league in 2011, when the team called Dujiangyan Xinbao disbanded, investors want to move the team to Xi'an, unwilling to leave Chengdu Mao Mao chose not to follow the team. For a period of time, even many club meetings held by the Chinese Football Association were attended by Mao Mao in Beijing on his behalf, and he himself did not think that as a player, he actually "passed the addiction of club leadership".
In 2012, Mao Mao returned to Chengdu Sheffield United and played until Sheffield United changed its name to Chengdu Tiancheng, and in 2014, Chengdu Tiancheng was relegated from the middle division and quietly disbanded. This is the third team dissolution that Mao Mao has experienced.
"Of all the team dissolutions that have been experienced, in addition to the dissolution of the Champions League because it is the Chinese Super League, the most painful is Sheffield United. That's just a Sheffield United who doesn't experience so much turmoil, the strength is actually very strong, you see there are a lot of players in the original Sheffield United who are still playing in the Chinese Super League. "Gan Yingbo's earliest substitute, Peng Xinli, has become the main force of the Shenhua team.
The dissolution of Chengdu Tiancheng brought Mao Mao another salary bonus that was owed, "There should be 300,000 yuan, I didn't even go to the appeal, I don't think it makes any sense." ”

Heng Yao opened the practice, uninvited
After the dissolution of Chengdu Tiancheng, Mao Mao still did not choose to leave Sichuan, he joined Sichuan Longfa, who played in the Chinese Second League, in 2015, and soon became the main player of the team with his own ability.
At that time, the Home Team of Longfa was in Santai County, Sichuan Province, and the team's accommodation was at the Santai Unity Reservoir. After the boring training, Mao Mao found another fun in life - fishing!
"The accommodation was remote, right next to the reservoir, just watch the people fishing by the reservoir. Because my mom also loves fishing, she slowly started fishing after training. "Fishing this hobby is now Mao Mao's biggest hobby besides football, especially after Chen Tao joined the Sichuan FC team, because Chen Tao is also a fishing enthusiast, plus Zhang Zhichao and other young players, there are still many players in the team who like to fish.
The Longfa team was later transferred to He Yaping due to financial difficulties, renamed Sichuan Annapurna, and the home stadium also moved away from Santai County to Dujiangyan. "Boss He started the two years is still good for us, no arrears of salary bonuses, and even when the bonus is issued, it is very generous, sometimes to the lounge to increase the bonus, and it will be cashed out quickly."
For these, Mao Mao has always been grateful, "At that time, I was still proud, and everyone outside called us the Chinese Second Division Evergrande team." "With the increase in team investment, the continuous introduction of players, coupled with his own age, Mao Mao slowly faded out of the main squad, and his mentality was very good, and he calmed down and began to learn coaching courses.

Last year, in the most difficult moment of Sichuan FC, there was no coach to train, Chen Tao and Mao Mao, two veteran players began the work of coaching, "Chen Tao and I took a day of training. After the return of the Li Bing coaching staff, Mao Mao temporarily led the reserve team as a coach and team member. It can be said that Mao Mao is the player who has played for the longest time in Sichuan, and has also experienced the dissolution of Sichuan Football Club again and again, in Sichuan FC he seems to be the main backbone of Sichuan players, Sichuan players have called him Mao guidance, there are called Mao brother ...
"It's all over, all the dissolutions have me." After the Sichuan FC quietly disbanded, Mao Mao commented on his football career. The consequence of this dissolution is that Mao Mao has a salary and bonus of 600,000 yuan and cannot get it, "there is no way to get it, and I am too lazy to appeal, and it is not the first time I have encountered it." Maomao chose to accept reality.
Perhaps because of his age and experience, Mao Mao actually understands football investors very well, "In fact, as long as it is not malicious arrears, temporary arrears of wages, the players can understand." When Sheffield United was united, he didn't pay a salary for a long time, but everyone still trained and played hard. The boss explained the situation of the club to everyone clearly, and when he had money, he also paid everyone a supplementary salary, and everyone could understand the boss's difficulties. ”
"Except for Tiancheng, who was disbanded after relegation, the other Sichuan clubs are not due to their achievements. In fact, even if it is Tiancheng, the core reason for the demotion is not entirely strength, because of the money in the middle, the turmoil is too great, and the good players have almost left. This may be related to the general environment of Sichuan football and the operation of clubs. ”
In addition to laughing at his own misfortune, Gan Yingbo began to worry about whether he could continue his beloved football. "After playing football for so many years, I haven't made much money, and even the house loan is still looking for help from my parents." If it weren't for the support of my family, I would have really only loved it. Really grateful to my family, used to be my parents, now plus my wife, they all support me to play football, no matter how I choose to play football, there are not many complaints, they all choose to fully support me. ”

Before the Spring Festival, Mao Mao heard that the Sichuan Hengyao team had begun training. It is estimated that because the future development of the club is not clear, the first two days of training are basically based on the former Sichuan FC reserve team members and Mingyu football school out of the team members. Seeing that Sichuan has a new team, Mao Mao has ignited the hope of playing football. So on the eve of the Spring Festival, Mao Mao voluntarily joined the training of the Hengyao team. The team plans to participate in this year's China Champions League, the third day of the Chinese New Year in Chengdu City Rende Football Base to restart training, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia, the team implemented a full closure training, even if the home is in the city, Mao Mao can not go home.
Now hengyao head coach Zhang Chongguang was once a member of the Quanxing team, and when everyone thought that the 36-year-old Mao Mao might choose to join the coaching team, he said: "My football career may continue this year..."
