Chapter 21 Deep Message
After the lucky first round, Urawa Red Diamonds had time to go to the second round of October 22. Tamaki Tamaki seized the time to train, and played two rounds of the league.
In order to avoid injuries and ensure a more complete lineup before heading to Japan, Mo Huaqiang still insisted on rotation, and the main players took turns to rest in batches, boldly using substitutes and youth team players;
Although the score of one draw and one loss is not good, compared to ensuring the training of the main players and bench players, the loss of one city and one place is not that important;
Mo Huaqiang has a bigger picture, he sees farther and thinks more. This time, he can lead all his troops to embark on the journey to Japan again to realize his dream in his heart. This is the most important thing.
Entering this season, the low-key and pragmatic Mo Huaqiang has always had a dream in his heart, which is to seize the AFC Champions League platform and show the team's style to the whole world;
After eliminating Vietnamese teams into the main game, what he thinks is "good display" is to qualify in the group;
And as the team reached the semi-finals, his idea had changed, that was to reach the finals.
The team fought all the way, from being at a loss at the beginning to dealing with Yu Ru now, Mo Huaqiang saw the team's upset conditions;
The players are young and motivated, dare to fight and fight. After several tough battles, the individual players and the team as a whole are becoming more mature;
In the still-improved AFC Champions League stage, there is a real soil for darkening to the end, just like what Syria's Alkalama once did.
Just like playing a level-breaking game, when you reach the current Tama Castle, the defending champion Urawa Red Diamond you have to face is the ultimate boss;
If they can still pass, whether they are Adelaide in Australia or Benyudeko in Uzbek, who are both new teams in the finals, their strength and difficulty are much lower than that of Japanese teams;
For Yuchai, this would be a good reward for eliminating the Japanese team. Mo Huaqiang is very clear about this situation;
But the most urgent thing is to play the second round to Japan, otherwise everything will be just delusions.
Although it is very difficult, Mo Huaqiang has always been full of confidence in the future and chose to trust his players without reservation;
We have experienced great storms and waves alongside them, and the current test cannot overwhelm them at all.
There is a round of the Chinese Super League to be held on October 22. In order to ensure that Yucheng achieves good results, the Football Association also deliberately postponed their round of events, which completely solved Mo Huaqiang's worries;
After the game on the 18th, we will have a day off and the team will set off for Urawa, Japan on the 19th.
Before leaving, Yucheng welcomed a group of special visitors, and the leader was Gao Qiang, vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association.
After experiencing a crushing defeat at the national team and the national Olympic team, the Football Association is in a mess;
Shen Shouhu, director of the Football Management Center, full-time vice chairman of the Football Association, and responsible for the daily work of the Football Association, announced on the 9th of last month that he would go to the National School of Administration to study for three months;
The Football Association is managed by several vice chairmen. As Shen Tou’s most valued deputy, Gao Qiang has actually become the “first vice chairman” and has a greater say.
Vice Chairman Gao's visit also reflects the Football Association's emphasis on Yucheng's huge sacrifice spirit of fighting for the AFC alone in the AFC;
Regardless of their results when they went to Japan this time, they entered the semi-finals for the first time, which was the best foreign battle result since Shenzhen in 2005.
For such a team that has worked hard and made great contributions, the Football Association's statement is particularly important, especially the condolences before going to the battle are very necessary, which can win a good reputation and greatly alleviate the huge pressure on public opinion.
Long Tian didn’t have much interaction with the vice chairman, and his recent meetings were concentrated during last year’s World Youth Championship;
During the Olympics in August this year, it was like the world evaporated and I didn’t meet them;
Long Tian had a very common impression of him, and felt that it was no different from the leader who liked to issue orders.
Unexpectedly, when Gao Qiang arrived at the club, he first came up to get close to Long Tian: "Long Tian, you are even better than last year. It seems that the title of assisting king in the World Youth Championship is not for nothing!"
Long Tian held his stretched palm and replied flatteredly: "Director Gao, you have over the award!"
Bai Huijun glared at him: "What kind of deputy Gao? He is Chairman Gao, Director Gao!"
Gao Qiang was very satisfied with Bai Huijun's flattery, but he still had to act modestly on the surface: "Hey, Mr. Bai, it will rain if you say that, so it's impossible. I'd better call my current position."
Looking at the young player Long Tian, I still want to express my opinion: "Long Tian, I have watched your AFC Champions League games and performed well. This time I went to Japan, I hope you can continue to perform well. You are now an expert in destroying Japan. What's the point of knocking down another Japanese team? Come on."
Long Tian nodded in response to his expectation: "Okay, Chairman Gao, I will definitely do my best."
Long Tian still couldn't be as versatile as Bai Huijun. Gao Qiang didn't agree. After a greeting between the two sides, he still entered the theme of today's visit.
"Mr. Bai, you know, the overall environment this year is very poor, and our country's football career has suffered an unprecedented blow. In such difficult circumstances, we can still see that you Yucheng Football can persist so vigorously to the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League. While our Football Association congratulates you, we also pay the highest respect to you!" Gao Qiang expressed his opinions straight to the point.
"Thank you Chairman Gao for your praise, bringing glory to the country and doing your best for Chinese football. This is the obligation of every football player, and no matter how much work you do, it is the right thing to do. Here I would like to thank the Football Association for its care for our Yucheng Yuchai over the years. Without the strong support of the superior management agencies, we would not be as good as we are today." Bai Huijun sincerely thanked.
Gao Qiang was very satisfied with Bai Huijun's answer, and then said happily: "Mr. Bai is indeed a sensible person. Yucheng has achieved such a good result under your leadership, so it is naturally no problem. Leave no words, let me get to the point. Given the outstanding performance of Yucheng team this year, the Football Association Office Meeting has passed the decision on awarding Yucheng Yuchai many honors, which will be announced to the public after the league ends."
After listening, Bai Huijun smiled happily and said, "Thank you to the Football Association, this is the biggest gift before going to Japan, and it's the best!"
"Well, you can understand this way. I have finished conveying the meaning of my superiors. Next is my own meaning. Mr. Bai, please look at Long Tian, who is sitting quietly beside him, "I know this is a bit too much, but under the current severe situation, there is no way. Urawa is very strong, but you, Tama Castle, are not weak, and they also have your own characteristics. I have already done it once in the group stage, so why not do it again?"
"Just like the national youth team in the past, who would have thought that they could break out of the Asian Youth Championship and even win the runner-up of the World Youth Championship? This is something that has never been imagined in decades. This situation is the same as what you are currently facing. The national youth team can do it, and your Yucheng can do it too. After all, the person who left a huge shadow on the Japanese is in your formation."
This idea coincides with Bai Huijun's. He also responded with certainty: "Yes, that's right, the Japanese are not monsters with three heads and six arms. I don't think they have any reason to be better than us. Besides, we have scree like Long Tian, and no one can escape, so what's there to be afraid of?"
The two sides had a happy exchange around the topic that Long Tian was developing, and the innocent Long Tian became the focus of everyone's discussion, and it was a bit like being caught in the gun.
In addition to the official farewell act, the official media Sports Daily also came to give a big gift, just like giving the whole Yucheng team a reassurance. This trip to Japan was a lot of confidence.
Mi Jikuan handed the USB drive with a capacity of 10g to Mo Huaqiang: "Mo Jiao, this is collected by colleagues from our newspaper stationed in Japan, including Urawa Red Diamonds, and it should be useful to you."
Mo Huaqiang said happily: "It's not just useful, it's just a timely help, it's more effective than anything else. Reporter Mi Da, thank you so much!"
Mi Jikuan smiled and said, "I have read the information in advance for you. You can see that your opponent is almost drowned by the saliva of his fans after returning to China. They are under great pressure. Your chance is coming. It doesn't take too much. You can bury them in just 1:0 in one game."
Mo Huaqiang nodded: "The truth is that, the key is to rely on your performance on the spot. In short, I am still very grateful for your generous gift. Big reporter, I asked A Tian to bring you a souvenir this time when I went to Japan. Do you have anything you want?"
Mi Jikuan smiled and said, "What I want most is of course Long Tian has assists or goals, and then defeats the Japanese."
Mo Huaqiang knew that he would definitely have to interview Long Tian, so he didn't stay for too long and left more time for the two of them.
After the two issues of "Long Teng" and "Long Zaiteng" and "Long Zaiteng" sold their special issues, Mi Jikuan planned a special issue named "Long Youteng" around the Olympics this year;
Unexpectedly, due to the team's disastrous performance, this issue of journal was also unpopular, and sales showed a cliff-like decline, which was even worse than the fraction of the previous two issues;
Mi Jikuan, who was hit hard, originally wanted to give up this series, but as Jade City gradually rose in the AFC Champions League, he had new ideas;
It was decided to enter the entire team from Long Tian’s personal perspective, introduce it from the qualifying match, and record the pioneering moves of this southern team in a comprehensive and detailed manner.
Due to the strength of the team, Mejikuan's team was positioned in the group stage at the beginning of planning;
Unexpectedly, Yucheng was able to make it to the semi-finals all the way. The original preset 8-opening 32 pages is no longer enough to install, and it must be more than 64 pages.
Mi Jikuan named this special issue for the Asian Champions League "Long Huan Teng", as the fourth issue of the entire "Long Teng" series;
As a firm "Dragon-supporting school", he firmly believes that the good and bad performance of Longtian is the guarantee of sales. The sharp contrast between the first two periods and the third period can explain the problem;
Now, Long Tian, who has emerged from the difficulties of the Olympic Games, has shown a dominant performance in the two arenas of the Chinese Super League and the Asian Champions League;
Of course, Mi Jikuan has reason to believe that the sales of journals will inevitably stop falling and rebound.
As the saying goes, no profit can bring you early, and Mi Jikuan, who has done so much behind the scenes, certainly has his own selfishness;
That is, I hope Jade City can reach the finals, so that this special issue can be expanded to 128 pages;
To achieve this, the role of Long Tian is the same as always.
"Brother Kuan, are you really optimistic about us like this?" Faced with his unreasonable preference, Long Tian was still a little bit.
"That's all, in my heart, you are the number one, and no one can compare to you." Mi Jikuan firmly believed in his own point of view.
"Okay, thank you for your noble words, we will do our best to do our best to do the Japanese." Long Tian also became confident because of this strong sense of trust.
Looking at him, Mi Jikuan added with a smile: "And, I still believe that there will be your assist in this game. There will definitely be your contribution in the team's promotion credit book."
"Okay, I'll listen. If this is true, I won't call you Brother Kuan, but I will call you Kuan Banxian, haha!" Long Tian's mood became even more beautiful.
Chapter completed!
