The 2007 Chinese Super League season kicked off on March 24, and four rounds have ended by April 4, and the points list can be said to be happy and sad.

The third-year Yuchai Club continued its weak start style last season, with one draw and three losses at the bottom, and the club's prospects are not optimistic.

On Sunday, April 8, the weather in Yucheng City was clear. Yuchai team was at home to face the visiting Wuhan Optics Valley. Fans flocked to the electromechanical stadium and tried their best to shout for the clubs that were in bad condition recently.

However, Yuchai still cannot get rid of its recent bad luck. Facing the visiting team that was shrinking to defend, although they played offensive football, the scene was dominant and created many scoring opportunities, they missed them one by one, and helped to gain a draw, which disappointed the good intentions of God;

The fans were very disappointed. A North Sea fan who was out of control even burned the club flag outside the stadium gate, which was a big hit, relegation, bankruptcy and other words appeared on many media.

Such incidents were dealt with quickly, but the senior club executives looked very ugly. Yuchai, who was about to show off his skills, had the worst start since the founding of the team, and it was unacceptable to the top leaders of the group and fans.

The team's performance is not good, and the most stressed one is the head coach. Lin Rui, as the creator of Yuchai Myth, has a noble status and at least there is no risk of being dismissed during the contract period. However, he also felt this pressure from the club's general manager Bai Huijun's stern tone that was different from the past.

The coach is in a bad mood, and the players' lives are not good. The intensity of the training is added and Coach Lin has changed his past kindness. He will criticize him even if he makes a little mistake in his movements. The entire team no longer has the joyful atmosphere he used to.

On Saturday (April 14), I will rush to Changsha to play the sixth round of the league with Jinde. The training these days has been particularly tense. Coach Lin's gloomy face makes people feel that the end of the world is coming.

The practice content during the day is basic skills such as passing and receiving balls, dribbling the ball, and pulling the ball, and slamming the ball. This is the first time I have this content in the past, but I won’t have such a long practice time.

Players' usual training is mainly physical fitness, tactical exercises, team cooperation and small confrontations. Because of the triviality of the ball, the players are generally assigned by themselves, so everyone can be lazy as long as they can.

At this moment, the enemy is not practicing tactics in a targeted manner, and they have to spend a day trying to catch the ball and shoot. The players can imagine the impatient emotions.

Stop mistakes are becoming more and more frequent, the pass is not very purposeful, and the ball is not familiar with the ball... The players' poor basic skills are fully exposed, and Lin Rui's roar fills the entire training ground, and the training progress is repeatedly interrupted.

Generally speaking, every player was criticized by Coach Lin, but his severity of criticism of Long Tian surprised everyone: "What kind of ball do you play? It takes five meters to stop the ball. Do you clear the ball? These basic skills are not done well. Why are you doing well in the National Youth Team? I think, you don't have to go to Spain this time, stay in Yuchai for practice!"

Basic skills have always been his weakness. This time, he was criticized by the coach for some reason. Long Tian’s depression can be imagined.

You know, Coach Lin understands his characteristics and never demands him in this regard, but today it seems like a different person.

But he is his most respected master after all. No matter how unhappy Long Tian is, he will not do anything extreme. He just squinted at the coach hatefully to vent his dissatisfaction.

Everyone was surprised that Long Tian was the coach's favorite young player. He had never been scolded before. Today, the sun came out from the west!

The atmosphere suddenly froze. I was not sure how to develop. Coach Lin, who was overly excited, had an asthma attack and became a key to understanding. Everyone panicked and escorted the coach to the hospital. Today's training could only end in an unpleasant atmosphere.

Long Tian knew the team's current difficult situation and understood Coach Lin's current mood very well. He quickly let go of his lectures, but instead worried about his body.

Li Weizhen, Xu Te and Qiu Li and several other teammates came to comfort him, but Long Tian didn't take it to his heart and rushed to the hospital anxiously.

Coach Lin is not seriously injured, but his mood is too intense and he has caused an old problem. After quiet recuperation in the hospital, he is as usual.

Bai Huijun, who was here to visit, learned about the situation and trained the team members a few words, instructing Coach Lin to take care of his illness and left in a hurry.

A group of team members stood in the ward guiltily, and the small ward was suddenly filled with people. The nurse on duty was very annoyed and drove the big men out of the door, allowing only a few people to come in and visit.

Lin Rui, who had recovered his mood, understood the disciples, leaving only Long Tian alone, and asked the others to go back and rest, and did not delay the next day's training.

Long Tian put the banana in his hand on the table beside the bed and said uneasy: "Coach, there are fruits here, which is a little bit of our team members. I hope you will recover as soon as possible."

Lin Rui nodded, signaled him to sit down, and smiled and said, "Why, are you still angry with me? Are you so careless? Haha."

Long Tian shook his head excitedly: "No! Coach, you are right in scolding. My basic skills are indeed very poor. I will definitely work hard to improve, please rest assured!"

Lin Rui glanced at him and said, "Is that so cruel, I really don't hate me at all? Xiaolong, you didn't tell the truth!"

Long Tian immediately became nervous: "I mean it! Coach, you treat me the best. No matter what you say, it is for my goodness. I only accept it. Where can I say hate?!"

After patting his shoulder, Lin Rui said, "It is best if you can think so. Don't think of the coach so well. Actually, I will make mistakes. I said it very seriously today, and I hope you really don't take it to your heart!"

Long Tian looked at the coach firmly: "It's okay. The coach is as kind as a mountain to me, and I will always respect you!"

Lin Rui laughed, his love for him became even more serious. The grandfather and grandson wiped away the friction stirred in the afternoon.

"Xiaolong, in addition to being in a bad mood today, I hope you will pay attention to basic skills training in your speech today. Although our team's performance is good, this cannot conceal our rough skills. This feature also determines that we can only barely stand on the narrow Chinese Super League stage. If we want to break out of Asia and go to the world, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the current conditions!"

After looking at Long Tian who listened carefully, he sent a deep message, "Xiaolong, with your persistence in football, superb speed and physical strength and noble character, I firmly believe that you have a bright future when I saw you at the first sight! This small temple in the Chinese Super League cannot accommodate you, so you must be strict with yourself."

Long Tian heard the strange smell in his words and shook his head firmly: "Coach, I will work hard to strengthen my basic skills! But please don't give up on me, I will never leave Yuchai in my life!"

Lin Rui laughed: "Give up? Haha, I'm afraid we can't keep you even if we want to keep you!"

He said seriously after laughing, "People in professional arena should have the mentality of being home for the world. Whether in terms of personal ability improvement or club management strategies, no player can and should not die in a tree. I am not rushing you, but I hope you understand that you are a professional player."

Listening to the coach's earnest words, Long Tian nodded as if he had some insight.

On April 15, at 2:30 pm, the sixth round of CSL game in Changsha Helong Stadium started on time. Facing the home team that had won three consecutive victories and was highly motivated, the Yuchai team, who came from afar, resisted the heavy pressure and resolutely implemented Coach Lin Rui's defensive counterattack tactics. He did not fall at a disadvantage in the scene and strongly threatened the Jinde team's goal.

Jin De was unable to pry Qiu Li's ten fingers throughout the whole game, and his frustration soon spread in the formation.

As the end of the game approached, Yuchai, who was counterattacking, scored a smooth team cooperation. Xu Te successfully knocked on the block with a free kick. Yuchai scored three points away and had a difficult time winning the season.

Long Tian came on as a substitute in the 74th minute, and once had an assist. He did not perform very well in the rest of the time, and his performance was average.

In this game, several young players including Li Weizhen, Xu Te and Mai Zhao performed well in Yuchai's team, making great contributions to the team's victory.

Yuchai's ups and downs last season and the decline in the first five rounds of this season can all be attributed to changes in the team's personnel.

Yuchai Club was established in 1999 and officially competed in the National Class B League the following year.

In addition to Jiang Bin and Qin Zhen recruited by Coach Lin from Liaoning, as well as Cai Jiajian and Zou Jia, who were recruited by Guangxi Nationalities College, all of the teams were young players of 23 or 24 years old recruited by the club in major units and universities in the district.

With the club's loose requirements and Coach Lin's appropriate tactical arrangements, this group of mobs that gathered from all over the world quickly merged into a team of high morale. The team's performance became better and better. Finally, they advanced to the top ranks in 2003 and the Super League in 2004. For two consecutive years, they reached a new level each year, creating a miracle in contemporary Chinese football.

As the team appeared in the top league, the exposure of players has greatly increased, and several star players on the team have been coveted by other teams.

For the purpose of enriching business funds, Yuchai Club basically meets every request for clubs that come to poach people. Every year when listed, the team with the biggest players is always sold;

Yuchai players have outstanding physical fitness, dare to fight on the court, and the offer is not high, and the cost-effectiveness is excellent. Therefore, Yuchai team has become a player supermarket for various teams to supplement domestic aid.

This is a bit similar to the business strategy of the Locomotive Club, vigorously cultivating young players. Once the young player kicks out, he will enter the trading market and recover the training costs for the club.
