12. The inspirational life of a wealthy young man

 "Jose, there is a player here that you might be interested in."

On October 19, Spanish coach Ricardo Gallego Redondo handed the tablet in his hand to his colleague.

The person called "Jose" is a middle-aged man with a slightly stout figure and gray hair on his temples.

He took the tablet and subconsciously glanced at the scoreboard above the video:

"Real Madrid game?"

Gallego nodded slightly:

"Youth team, U19, last weekend's game."

Jose frowned:

"You are no longer the youth training director of Real Madrid, Ricardo, why are you still paying attention to these things?"

"It's the deputy director."

Gallego shrugged his shoulders, first corrected his mistake, and then stretched out his index finger to tap lightly on the tablet:

"This player No. 22 is Chinese."

Jose was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he saw that the right back No. 22 on the screen used a hug and throw action to knock the left winger No. 7 on the opposite side to the ground!

He couldn't help but sneered:

"This kind of rough and low-level defensive skills is indeed Chinese players."

Gallego said nothing and allowed him to continue reading.

Fifteen seconds later, it was No. 22 who decisively kicked off the counterattack and fired a half-court shot, ending all the suspense of the game!

"..."

Jose was silent for several seconds, then read it again, and then raised his head:

"The highlights of a game can't explain anything. What's more... it's just a long shot full of luck."

Gallego looked into his eyes:

"Even if it's just a misunderstanding, luck is part of strength, isn't it?"

Jose Camacho was silent for longer this time.

After a long time, he finally spoke:

"Then keep paying attention to his performance. This is your job, right?"

"I hope he can have the opportunity to be called up before I leave China!"

Gallego glanced at the schedule in his hand and shook his head silently.

[The Chinese Super League has entered the final sprint stage. The players of the national team will definitely give their best in the last few rounds of the league. How much success do you think will be left in the next national team game?]
p>

[In the last round of the World Cup preliminaries, when the opponent was sent off one man, we did not score a point at our home court, so we went to the opponent's home court in the next round...]

-

"48 meters! A shocking half-time lob in the Spanish Youth League!"

"Super world wave! Chinese genius shines at the Bernabeu!"

"According to internal information from the Football Association, Su Changwei has entered the national team's inspection scope!"

"It is very likely to represent the core of the National Olympic team in the 2016 Olympic Games!"

"A ray of light in the darkness: Chinese football finally has hope for revival!"

……

Although he only played 20 minutes in the U19, Su Changwei's world-famous kick was still captured by domestic media thousands of miles away.

He became a hot topic in Chinese football almost overnight!

No wonder.

After all, in 2011, apart from the content that cannot pass the review, what other topics can there be about Chinese football?

The Chinese Super League, which is known as a competition for hegemony and is fiercely competitive, actually allowed a newly promoted team to take away the championship!

As for the national team, they finally won the East Asia semi-finals a year ago, temporarily taking off the hat of Korean phobia for 32 years. They also defeated the former World Cup champion, the Gallic Rooster French team, which made fans across the country feel happy.

Illusion.

Unexpectedly, just one year later, the bubble of happiness would be cruelly burst!

In the top 20 of this year's World Cup preliminaries, facing three opponents: Iraq, Singapore, and Jordan, the domestic audience generally believed that this was a top team.

To take a step back, even if you can't defeat Iraq, which has destroyed your country and your family, you can easily score points against Singapore and Jordan, and then easily advance to the second place in the group.

As a result...this top 20 competition was shocking every step of the way.

In the first round, the Chinese team at home defeated Singapore, the weakest team in the group, 2:1 with a last-minute penalty kick.

Domestic media gave an explanation:

"After all, it's only the first round, and we haven't entered the state yet."

"Camacho has just taken office, and it still takes time to adjust the lineup."

"The advantage is mine!"

In the second round, the accident happened as expected.

The Chinese team lost to Jordan 1:2 in an away game. The record of 5 wins, 3 draws and no defeat in the past 8 games against Jordan has come to an end.

Domestic media still expressed tolerance:

"Although it is a shame to lose, it has already shown the momentum of the new national football team!"

"After all, this is an away game, and we are not used to the soil and climate of Jordan."

"The jet lag hasn't come back yet! The players haven't slept well!"

"The turf in Jordan is so good. There is no such quality turf in our country!"

"The Jordanian team does not follow martial ethics and has been stalling for time in the last 10 minutes, otherwise we would have had a chance!"

"Camacho's ball-control style has begun to work. Long-term persistence will definitely change the national team's appearance!"

In the third round, on October 11, the Chinese team, which had just celebrated the National Day, lost 0:1 at home to Iraq, which came from afar.

Blocked.

It is worth mentioning that Iraq was sent off in the 65th minute, but the Chinese team fired 17 shots but could not change the score.

With only one point after three games, the Chinese team had to go away to challenge Iraq, which topped the group, in the fourth round. The Chinese team reached a dead end early.

The National Football Team once again used practical actions to prove that the ridicule on the Internet was not a rumor:

Opening match, key battle, life and death battle, honor battle, train station, stand aside...

Public opinion suddenly changed completely. The media that had previously been tolerant of Camacho suddenly became his father-killing enemies!

"Xiao Gao did a good job, why would you replace him?"

"Changing commanders before battle is a taboo for military strategists!"

"Camacho doesn't understand Chinese football at all!"

"What kind of Real Madrid star? Why didn't the Real Madrid Five Eagles that dominated Europe back then not have him?"

"What does a rough guy like Camacho know about passing and controlling football?"

"Camacho is not suitable to be a coach! He was fired after only 22 days at Real Madrid!"

"I have said before that Camacho is a parallel import, and the Chinese Football Association is also a fool. They did not invite Scolari, a world-famous coach, but insisted on inviting Camacho, a parallel import!"

"You have to rely on referees to play a game in Singapore. Chinese football has no shame!"

"Insider: Camacho doesn't understand training at all! He has been ignored by the translator!"

……

In this smoky background, a "genius boy" suddenly jumped out, representing Real Madrid, the highest palace of football, and scored a wonderful super world goal, which was simply a breath of fresh air in the mudslide.
p>

Many media began to use their respective channel advantages to dig deeper into Su Changwei's past and present lives:

"U18 scored five goals in three games! The light surpassed Zidane!"

"He once led Real Madrid to reverse the defeat of Atletico Madrid! He was promoted to U19!"

"In the past, a wealthy man was on the verge of bankruptcy, but he relied on football to turn his life around!"

"Inspirational life: from being discriminated against to becoming an indispensable member of the Real Madrid team!"

"..."

Domestic news soon reached Su Changwei's hands.

Looking at these touching stories, he was somewhat speechless.

【I am not 18 years old yet, please let me go!】

[The national team, why are you recruiting me?]

[Should I show them the stopping skills I learned in the Real Madrid youth academy?]

Thinking of this, Su Changwei suddenly fell silent:
Chapter completed!
