Father Green

2Chapter 17: The Dreamer

Despite arranging the main players to do their best, Southampton still failed to score three points. They only scored one point at Goodison Park. The final result of the game was [-]-[-], and the two sides shook hands.

After the game, Charlotte jokingly said to Moyes: "David, you are not mean enough, the first time I come to Goodison, you will give me an iron barrel formation?"

Moyes and Charlotte are already familiar with each other a lot. After all, there is an introduction from the middleman Ferguson, so Charlotte has a good relationship with these head coaches who have a relationship with Ferguson or Manchester United.

Moyes shrugged: "I'd rather be called 'not enthusiastic about hospitality' than lose even one point! That's good, I'll buy you a drink later, so you can feel the enthusiasm of Toffee!"

"Did you learn from that old man Ferguson? It's so cheap and good-looking, don't go, don't go, when you come to St. Mary's Stadium, send a three-pointer with both hands, and I'll buy you a drink!"

Moyes smiled and pointed at Charlotte without speaking.

The press conference after the game was full of guests. Moyes said that Southampton is a very good team and must not be regarded as an ordinary newly promoted team. Whoever does this will soon taste it. It's a painful taste, so Everton also tried their best in this game.

And Charlotte also highly praised Moyes' achievements in Everton, and said that no one can do better than Moyes in Everton!For this game, Charlotte is very regretful: "Although there is some regret, we have to accept this reality. In the game, we have led the opponent twice, but unfortunately we were equalized by the opponent twice. Fortunately, We got a point, we can accept this result, after all, the opponent is Toffee Everton, even the giants come to Goodison Park, there is no good fruit to eat."

After playing this league game, Southampton won their first official Europa League game at home on Thursday. This time their opponent is the Serie A powerhouse, Wuji Baifengmaru-Udinese team!Although members of the Seven Sisters of Serie A have gradually weakened over the years, Southampton dare not underestimate each other.

"Welcome everyone to St. Mary's Stadium as a guest. Now we are broadcasting the second round match of Group A of the Europa League Cup of the 2012-2013 season brought to you by Sina Sports. This is the Premier League team Southampton vs. Serie A Udi Ness game. I’m Zhan Jun! Today we are also very fortunate to have Li Yuankui—Director Li to explain this game with me, hello, Director Li!” Zhan Jun smiled with glasses in the broadcast room He turned his head to question the Taishan Beidou of the Chinese football commentary circle.

"Hello, Zhan Jun! Dear viewers and friends of Sina Sports, everyone, I am Li Yuankui." Although Li Yuankui is old, his mental state is still very good.

"When Chinese fans mentioned the Premier League before, they would always think of Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and other giants as well as the world's top coaches such as Ferguson and Wenger. But now everyone mentions the Premier League, no, to be precise, once they mention it When it comes to football, you will be the first to think of the current head coach of Southampton, Charlotte, so what does Director Li think of this Chinese head coach who has just turned 24?" Still the same, For the Southampton game, Sina Sports will start the broadcast some time in advance, and the anchor Zhan Jun will also chat with everyone at this time, the difference is that there is an extra guest today.

Li Yuankui was once one of the first batch of national team players, and then successively served as the team leader, coach and club technical guidance. ESPN Satellite TV's Chinese sports channel has worked for eight years, during which it was mainly responsible for the Chinese commentary of the Premier League.

So the two met a long time ago, and became a friend of Wangnian.When Sina Sports said that they wanted to invite someone to partner with Zhan Jun for some games, Zhan Jun was the first to recommend Li Yuankui. After all, the two have a good relationship and mutual understanding, and the most important thing is to have a tacit understanding.

"That's right, Charlotte has become a major phenomenon in football today! Why do you say that, there are many young coaches in the world of football, and head coaches in their early twenties are actually not rare, but at this age they can be the world's top coaches. He is still the first head coach of the Premier League team in the first football league. Regardless of his identity from China, he can’t find the second one in world football. There are actually many young coaches in the Premier League. For example, once The former Moyes, the current Di Matteo, Boas, Rodgers and Laudrup are all young marshals, but compared with Charlotte, they are the age of uncles." Li Yuankui chuckled.

"The key is that Charlotte is from our country. First of all, I don't want to emphasize that Charlotte is a Chinese. I mainly want to show how difficult it is for him. Even the Chinese fans themselves are very clear about the current China. What does football look like? When European colleagues mention Chinese football, they will be very surprised, saying that China still has football?"

Zhan Jun also smiled humorously: "Yes, they generally think that China only has table tennis, badminton and volleyball."

"At the beginning of May this year, I went to Europe to visit the youth training systems of some European clubs. When I mentioned Chinese football to them, their first impression was Marcello Lippi! Because at that time the world famous coach Silver Fox Lippi just announced to take over the Chinese Super League team Guangzhou Evergrande! But later, Charlotte led the team to win the FA Cup, and now he is leading the team to play in the Premier League. A few days ago, this friend came to China, I Just ask them again about their impression of Chinese football, and this time they mentioned the name Charlotte!"

"Yes, now Charlotte's influence has begun to permeate the world. I think if he is a German, an Italian, a Spaniard, or even an Englishman, maybe everyone will not be so surprised, at most it means After a while, wow, that kid is so young!! Then there is no more, but it is because Charlotte is the head coach who came out of China, so everyone is so surprised." Zhan Jun smiled and said: "Let's not talk about you, come on The last time I went to Liverpool, some colleagues still asked me, your Chinese football has become so strong? Do you have any special experience in training the head coach? Luo, there is only one!"

Zhan Jun and Li Yuankui didn't just brag about Charlotte and speak well of him.The two finally analyzed the situation, saying that Charlotte still has a long way to go, and he still has a lot to go, so he must not lose himself and keep walking down-to-earth.

As for Charlotte's description, Li Yuankui said: "He is a dreamer! His experience tells us that as long as you still have a dream, you should put it into action!"

Zhan Jun also agreed: "That's right, what everyone sees now is the beautiful side of Charlotte. Major sports newspapers and even entertainment newspapers often have large photos of him, and major portal websites often feature his headlines. He His influence in China has skyrocketed. At the age of 24, he has won the British Championship and the FA Cup once. When he was suitable for playing football, he changed his path and began to work hard in the coaching industry. When everyone was preparing for the college entrance examination, he was still learning football tactical thinking. When everyone was still preparing for English listening, speaking, and even CET-[-] When he's upset, he's learning German, French, Spanish, etc.!"

"When everyone was dating in their spare time, or even skipping classes to play games. He was still serving dishes in a bar in Cologne or washing dishes in a restaurant. When everyone returned to the dormitory or at home and was going to sleep At that time, he was still reading and watching various football tactics and formation-related books, as well as some classic videos of major games."

"So the Charlotte you see now is very young. But after seven or eight years of study and training, he is what he is today with his talent and hard work."

"Just like our current Chinese football, we are also dreamers. But Charlotte is already an active dreamer, and we are just dreamers who are daydreaming. From Charlotte, we can see that Chinese people are not playing games. If you don’t want to switch to football, you just can’t calm down and lay a solid foundation, and you can’t develop and explore step by step!” When talking about the current situation of Chinese football, Zhan Jun, like many fans, actually hated iron and steel. Too much hatred, but deep love.He doesn't talk about this in his usual commentary, because European football and Chinese football are two worlds, and there is no intersection point of parallel lines between them.But now it is different, Charlotte is the intersection of those two parallel lines.

The two chatted a lot, and everyone is a practitioner in this circle.Whether it is from the perspective of experience or professionalism, they all believe that the current problems of Chinese football can be solved by youth training rather than a top coach.

"Okay, let's go back to this game. We have got the starting list of both sides. Compared with the game against Everton last weekend, the change of starting lineup is not obvious."

"The main personnel change is that Sturridge appeared in the starting list. In the last round of the league, Charlotte hid this general in order to preserve his strength. It seems that he is here to deal with today's game against Udinese. Still There is a midfield position where Wanyama is rested and replaced by French teenager Paul Pogba, who will be partnered with his compatriot Schneiderlin. The best news for Southampton fans will be Rodriguez Adams has recovered from his injury, he sat on the bench today, I don’t know if he will have a chance to play.”
