Football: The immortal legend on the green field

No matter how much commotion there is in the country because of Shen Bin, who has disappeared for more than a year, it has nothing to do with the working man Shen Bin. Whether he knows it or not, as that netizen said, life must go on.

The only thing he said wrong was that he did not leave his beloved football, he just took another way to express his love for football.

Every night when he lies down on the bed, he has a sweet dream. He is possessed by Garrincha. In the past six months, he has played more than a hundred professional games. Shen Bin feels that his life is very fulfilling. Every week, he keeps 100 euros of his salary for basic expenses and gives the remaining 300 euros to his father.

Every month, the father and son would have a surplus of RMB yuan, so they could basically pay off their debts in three years. Thinking of this, Shen Bin felt that his life had purpose.

He would sleep until he woke up naturally every day, and then every Monday he would go around the 80 golf courses that the two of them were responsible for with Sjanic. They would then take note of those courses whose lines had become blurred and systematically assign them to be redrawn from Tuesday to Saturday.

In the afternoon, I went to the stadium with these friends to seek happiness.

What surprised Shen Bin was that the old man who was almost hit by the ball that day did not learn his lesson at all, and would go to the open-air court in the park every day to watch them play ball.

Today is Monday, June 2004, 6, the opening day of the final stage of the Asian Youth Championship. It is now 19 pm Amsterdam time. Since there is a six-hour time difference between Amsterdam and Yanjing, it should be pm Yanjing time. The first group match between the Chinese National Youth Team and the Iranian National Youth Team in Group B of the Asian Youth Championship should have ended.

Yes, you heard it right, the Chinese National Youth Team participated in the Asian Youth Championship, because a few days after the qualifying match held in Japan ended, the AFC official website released a ridiculous news.

Because several players of the Vietnam youth team were found to have excessive bone mass in the qualifiers, the team was disqualified from the competition and the over-age players were banned for three years each. The team was also banned from participating in the next Asian Youth Championship.

As the third in the group, the Chinese National Youth Team became the beneficiary of this incident. The Chinese National Youth Team replaced the Vietnamese team to participate in the Asian Youth Championship held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Through the draw, the Chinese National Youth Team was placed in Group B, which includes traditional Asian powerhouses Iran and Qatar, and Indonesia, which is at the same level as Vietnam.

Due to Gao Haiyang's poor performance in the qualifiers, the officials of the Football Association could not stand the pressure and their work efficiency was greatly improved. At the same time as the National Youth Team sent to Kuala Lumpur, they signed an employment contract with the German coach Krausschen, which had been delayed for almost a year.

Since Krauchen was not very familiar with the team, Yin Tiesheng, who was more familiar with the team's situation, was appointed as the head coach this time. Krauchen flew directly from Germany to Kuala Lumpur to join the team as a consultant.

With more than two months of preparation time, Yin Tiesheng conducted a large-scale selection of players of appropriate age in the country. Elites from the 1984 and 1985 age groups, mainly from the Dagang Youth Team, gathered together, including Chen Tao from the Dutch SBV Elite Team.

In this way, Chen Tao delayed reporting to the SBV club due to the national team's call-up.

This week is the third-to-last match week of the 03-04 season in the Netherlands. The league has reached its final stage. Ajax is already 10 points behind PSV Eindhoven and has no hope of winning the championship. Even the qualification for the Champions League is in jeopardy because the Dutch league is only a second-tier league in Europe. They only have two starting places and one play-off place, which is usually referred to as 2.5 places.

Apart from PSV Eindhoven, there are four teams in the second group. Ajax is currently in fourth place, three points behind second-placed Feyenoord and one point less than third-placed Alkmaar. It has the same points as fifth-placed Twente, but is ahead of Twente on goal difference.

The team closest to the university town, Haarlem Athletic, currently has only 26 points, ranking last in the top league and will definitely be relegated to the second division.

Not only is the A-League in its final stages, but the amateur league has also reached a critical juncture.

Shen Bin participated in the regional second-level amateur league with a team composed of Amsterdam community service personnel.

The Dutch league is divided into seven levels. The first, second and third levels are professional leagues, and the fourth level is the fourth level. The fourth level is the semi-professional league. The above four levels are national leagues. There are three levels of pure amateur leagues, namely the first, second and third levels. The Dutch amateur league is divided into four regions, each of which is held independently. Only the first place in the first league of a region can enter the national semi-professional fourth league.

That is to say, entering the semi-professional circle.

Their team has a resounding name, the team is called the Environmental Defenders Team. People who don’t know them well may suspect that they are all members of the Green Party! In fact, they are just a group of sanitation workers.

Today they are playing against a team made up of dock workers. The two teams are now in the top two of the standings in Group C of the Amsterdam Regional League. Only the team that gets first in points can participate in the regional promotion play-offs among the eight championship teams. The top four teams in the play-offs can be promoted to the regional first league.

Shen Bin originally did not plan to participate, but under the constant encouragement of Sjanic and his fellow workers, Shen Bin had to agree, but Shen Bin only agreed to participate in the second half of the game.

The warnings from medical experts at the Semetero Sports Medical Center in Madrid are still ringing in his ears. A large part of his injury was caused by participating in competitions beyond his ability.

At that time, Shen Bin was only 15 years old, and the players competing with him were between 17 and 20 years old. Whether in terms of physical strength, endurance, confrontation intensity, etc., Shen Bin was not on the same level as them.

Although it may seem that the skills are superior and the abilities are outstanding, the internal damage to the body cannot be observed with the eyes. If the body is overloaded for a long time, it is only a matter of time before bones and muscles are injured.

Therefore, medical experts have repeatedly advised that even if you have recovered well and are able to return to the game, you should try to avoid participating in adult competitions before the age of 18.

If you want to participate, the minimum age must not be less than 16 years old. The recommended playing time for 16 to 17 years old is half a game, 18 minutes for 70 years old, and you can play the full game only when you are 19 years old.

Because as a yellow man, Shen Bin's development is obviously more than a year later than Rooney and others.

This kind of regional second-level league cannot be held in a professional football stadium. Their game was held at the University Park Stadium. Even the three referees were invited university physical education teachers. Before the game started, there were still many college students playing football on the field. They were still able to play on the field, but they would be driven off by the administrators after a while.

In addition to these college students playing football, there were some students who loved sports jogging around the court. There was also a pair of student lovers sitting on a bench under the banyan tree, with their heads close together, and no one knew what they were whispering to each other.

There were also people sitting on a park bench, holding a book and reciting English. In this place next to a noisy stadium, the volume of their voices was not noticeable and would not disturb others. It was more effective than reciting in a study room.

Shen Bin looked at the scenes in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

He loves it here, loves the university.

The 16-year-old Shen Bin only has a junior high school diploma. Two years of injury delayed his schooling, otherwise he would be sitting in a high school classroom now.

Shen Bin was both envious and curious about everything in the university. He envied the free and easy lives of these gifted students, and was curious about the other aspects of university life that he had not seen.

It would be great if I could go to university...

Shen Bin was looking forward to it in his heart.

The game has already started. Shen Bin doesn't care about what happens on the field. To him, these are indeed small scenes.

Shen Bin sat on the sidelines watching the game between the two teams. The intensity of the game was obviously not at the same level. The players of the Porters were obviously in better physical condition, but because they had more spare time, the Environmental Team had better technology.

Until the end of the first half, the score was still the same as when Shen Bin came, with the sanitation workers team temporarily trailing 1:2.
