Chinese people pay attention to good things in pairs, and major events such as the World Cup and Asian Cup are held in even years. Therefore, everyone seems not so interested in the odd year of 2001.

But looking at the situation throughout the year, this year of the Snake does not seem simple for Chinese football, and it is a bit unforgettable. Looking back after several years, you will always feel a dreamy feeling.

In February, at the Future Cup Invitational Tournament in Hong Kong, the 81-year-old national youth team led by coach Chen Xiangfu emerged. They cleanly defeated the second team of Argentina 3:1, which also made the title of "Super Platinum Generation" spread wildly and became the most popular national team.

The origin of this Shen family army is not simple. As a team that has been planned since 1999, preparing for the 00 Asian Youth Championship, reaching the 01 World Youth Championship, and entering the 04 Olympics has become their three consecutive team-building goals.

They defeated South Korea, an old enemy in the first game in the Iranian Asian Youth Championship last year, breaking the fate of "fearing South Korea" in one fell swoop. In the end, they defeated the host Iran in the third place battle and advanced to the World Youth Championship.

They made a big splash last year when they first tried the orioles, so they became even more famous this year. Beating Argentina at the beginning of the year was just an appetizer, and the outstanding performance at the Argentina World Youth Championship in the middle of the year was the main meal.

One win, one draw and one loss in the group stage, qualifying as the second place in the group, and encountered a strong host in the 1/8 finals in advance. Although he was eliminated 1:2, the young national youth players who showed their energy were still eye-catching, especially the scooter that Jo Bo scored after running wildly on the side was even more memorable.

Ju Bo was also named the star of tomorrow along with Saviola of Argentina and Mantoras of Angola, and Chinese football ushered in a highlight moment.

In the World College Games in August, the young national youth players who moved over also finished fourth at their doorstep. The second of the three goals was achieved, which also made the Chinese people full of unlimited expectations for their most important mission to the Olympic qualifiers.

The youth team only represents the future of a country's football. The one who can truly represent a country's football level is undoubtedly the adult national team.

This Chinese team, known as the strongest in history, passed the group stage of the Asian qualifiers within the scope of normal operation, with Long Ge's shocking move, he avoided the two strong opponents of Saudi Arabia and Iran one after another. Even Iraq, which is the most difficult to play in the third gear, did not meet this luck. This luck is really booming.

With the blessing of this magical draw, the Chinese team seemed to have a cheat. From the first game of the top ten games to the sixth round of qualifying, they did not lose a single game, showing the domineering arrogance that the Chinese national football team has rarely seen in recent years.

On October 7, at the Wulihe Stadium in Chenyang, accompanied by bright lights and grand cheers, the whole of China was in full bloom as Yu Genwei swept the ball into the gate of Oman team.

In the 44-year journey of dream pursuit, generations of Chinese people have been working hard on this road. They always thought that they would never see the arrival of this day in their lifetime, but it suddenly realized on such a special night;

It felt like the White Moonlight Goddess who had been chasing her hard, and was finally moved by her persistence, shed soft tears of mutual congratulations, and her hearts depended on each other.

It is the touch of watching the clouds clear and the moon bright, it is also the happiness of suffering and the joy of being overwhelmed after a long wait.

It is difficult for foreigners to understand the complex mood of Chinese fans, but only they themselves know the most. Lu You's words "The king's army settles on the north of the Central Plains, and the family sacrifices are never forgotten to tell his old man" are the true portrayal of their mood at this moment.

With the help of the domestic fanatical football atmosphere, Yuchai Club has a higher enthusiasm for youth training than last year, and they have also started their experience as a second-year student in the second-tier team league.

The 2001 National Football League kicked off at the end of May. The 17 participating teams were divided into four groups: Northeast China, North China, Central and Western China, and Central China. The home and away round-robin system was adopted, and the top three points entered the rematch of the North and South District.

Yucheng Yuchai, Beijing Kuanli, Zhejiang Luyuan, Guangzhou Ruike and Ningxia Yucai were divided into central China. With Ningxia withdrawal, Yuchai's group D is also in the same 4 teams and 6 rounds as the other three groups.

Compared with the terrible season results last year, Yuchai's performance has improved this year. Although he still failed to qualify from the group, he remained unbeaten in three home games, winning 1:0 in Beijing Kuanli, which made thousands of spectators in Dafuyuan Stadium extremely excited.

Yuchai, who scored 5 points in three home games, could have been able to compete for the top three qualifying spots, but was still subject to poor away results. They had no goal but scored a single point but could only be at the bottom of the group again, watching the other three quarters advance into the rematch stage.

Compared with the 4 points last year, I was able to score 5 points this year with the reduction in game games, and it is very rare to remain unbeaten at home. It is a good motivational opportunity for the newly cultivated fan group.

The number of visitors to the game has also ranged from two or three hundred at the beginning. After two seasons of publicity and encouragement, the number of visitors can basically exceed 1,000. This is a good start for clubs with long-term plans.

Whether it is fans or media, everyone is relatively tolerant towards the club, and the players' spirit of daring to fight has also touched everyone, especially looking at the young players trained by our team's youth training, their sense of identity will suddenly increase a lot, and they truly create a sense of belonging "This is our own team".

Every game day, I bring my family and friends to attract my friends. A series of spectators are neighbors or people from the same community and streets, and it has become a beautiful landscape on the Dafuyuan Stadium.

The senior executives of the group still complain about the club's embarrassing achievements, but feel the rising enthusiasm for football in the city, and the government is also vigorously promoting the construction of football culture;

The opposition was much smaller than last year, which also allowed Bai Huijun to devote more energy to the team's key tasks.

The Chinese Football Association awarded the "Best Youth Training Construction Contribution Award" to Yuchai Club for two consecutive years, which is also a huge commendation move for this team from the south, with clear goals and consistently following the established youth training policy, scientifically and reasonably promoting the development of football.

When taking the admissions examination of Yucheng High School in July, Tian Xin was on the list as she wished with her outstanding results and became a freshman in the 2001 high school in Yugao, the best high school in the city.

In August, after Tian Xin participated in a week of military training for freshmen at school, Li Weizhen took her to the Wudengpo area in the city center to stroll. She smiled like a flower and was as happy as a little princess.

When he walked to the Talang Department Store, Tian Xin was attracted by a beautiful light pink dress in the women's clothing counter. Just like a boy could not move his feet when he saw his beloved toy, but when he saw the price of five or six hundred, he instantly lost the desire to see it, but his little eyes were still looking at it.
