legendary worker

"Su Yun, your reputation has increased a lot recently."

After staying at home for a few days, Su Yun came out to meet his former friends.The first person to meet was of course Zhu Shengxiu.

Zhu Shengxiu is now more mature than before.

After not seeing each other for a year and a half, Zhu Shengxiu's majesty was even stronger.Su Yun knew that in the past year and a half, Zhu Shengxiu's career was getting better and better.His reputation in the Chinese press is getting louder and louder.

"Old Zhu, thank you for that."

It would have been impossible for Su Yun, the head coach of a small English C league, to have such a reputation in mainland China, if it wasn't for Zhu Shengxiu's help.

"Thank you. Come on, Su Yun, I will bring you a friend on my own initiative today."

"Huh? Friends?"

Su Yun was just a little surprised, but he didn't blame Zhu Shengxiu for making his own decisions.Today Su Yun just wanted to chat with old friends, after all, we haven't seen each other for a year and a half.So Su Yun was a little surprised that Zhu Shengxiu brought someone else.

But also regarding the relationship between Su Yun and Zhu Shengxiu, although it is a bit abrupt, there is no problem.

In general terms, two people who have been friends since childhood have to wear a pair of pants.

"Well, a reporter. You know him, and it will do you no harm but good."

Zhu Shengxiu led Su Yun in, and Su Yun saw a young man from a distance.

is a young man.

Judging from the age of Su Yun and Zhu Shengxiu, the person in front of him is indeed a young man.It looks like he is only 25 or six years old.

"Su Yun, his name is Zhang Liang, and he is a reporter for "Sports Weekly". Zhang Liang, in front of him is Su Yun, who was famous not long ago."

"Brother Su, hello."

Zhang Liang didn't look like a fledgling reporter at all, he shook Su Yun's hand very confidently.

"Hello."

"Okay, since everyone knows each other, it's easy to handle. Come on, Su Yun. Zhang Liang is going to give you an exclusive interview. Zhang Liang is a child of my aunt's family, you have to cooperate with him well."

"Your cousin?"

"Ah."

Su Yun couldn't help laughing.

No wonder looking at Zhang Liang just now, I felt that the young man was too confident.Su Yun doesn't have many contacts in the media circle, but Zhu Shengxiu is different.Many of Zhu Shengxiu's parents and relatives are heavyweights in China's propaganda department.

Zhu Shengxiu's father was the deputy director of the Propaganda Department.

Their family is an important family in the Chinese media circle.

But since Zhang Liang came in, he didn't look in awe at all. At first, Su Yun thought he was a young man, and a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.Unexpectedly, it was Aunt Zhu Shengxiu's child.

"Brother Su, congratulations first. I heard that you are going to be the head coach of Sunderland."

"Thank you. It's just a League One club. It's a team in England's second tier."

"Okay, okay. What are you two doing politely? Su Yun, you can accept the interview with confidence. What will finally appear in the media must be the edited one."

Su Yun pointed at Zhu Shengxiu, smiled and shook his head.

Zhang Liang took out a small tape recorder commonly used by reporters.

When entering work, Zhang Liang's expression became very serious.

"Brother Su, you are the first head coach in the history of Chinese football to coach in Europe. Can you talk about the most intuitive difference between British football and Chinese football?"

"Intuitively different?"

Su Yun thought about it.There are so many differences, Su Yun doesn't know what to say.

"Well, let me say a few words from the perspective of the coach. In the UK, the coach has a lot of power. In British football, the coach does not simply lead the team to train and compete. The coaches control the team's transfer, and some coaches even In the club, it is a tripartite stand with the club chairman and the director of business development. In terms of power, it should be more powerful than the coaches in Chinese football.”

"This is the most intuitive difference I feel as a head coach."

Zhang Liang nodded.

Unlike Zhu Shengxiu, Zhang Liang just graduated from graduate school and started working.Not very familiar with European football.

"So Brother Su, do you think there is a gap between Chinese football and British football? Is the gap big? Where is the main gap?"

Although this Zhang Liang is a graduate student, he still looks too immature.

The most taboo thing to do during an interview is to ask several questions at once.

Even when the lawyers in the court ask questions, this way of asking questions is prohibited.

But Su Yun didn't blame him.Su Yun would be upset if it was some rookie reporter, but this is Zhu Shengxiu's cousin after all.The face that should be given still has to be given.

"Yes, from the current point of view, British football is far ahead of Chinese football. In my opinion, there are two main and most intuitive gaps. The first is that our players have too few games. When I was in England, England has at least 24 teams in each league. League One, League Two and League C each have [-] teams.”

There are some things that Su Yun really can't complain about.

If you are not in the UK, you will never understand the gap between the two leagues. You will always think that the development trend of the Chinese league is very good.

"For a professional team in English football, [-] games a season is the most basic. If you add those cup games, [-] games a season is normal. And those strong English teams even play [-] games a season. There are ten games too. That's the difference."

"Their players have a lot of competition in a season. If they are national team players, they can play more than 50 games or 25 games in a season. It is also because of this that their players have rich experience and can get full play. But in our league, can a team play [-] games a year? Many teams play less than [-] games a year. In this way, even if our players play with the national team, a year It will be [-] games at most."

"The intensity of the game between the two players is completely different. How could there be no gap."

Su Yun really didn't think about it before.

After arriving in England, I discovered that the English league matches are very intense.But also England players get the best exercise.

Zhang Liang was very absorbed.

Zhang Liang doesn't know much about English football.Listening to Su Yun's talk today opened his eyes.

"The second is that the base number is not enough. Do you know how many referees are registered in England now, which exceeds 1. But can the number of registered football players exceed [-]? The most intuitive thing about the entire English league is that they have nine Divisional leagues. Plus some regional leagues, there are really countless football clubs in England. So their football player base is extremely huge."

"England's population is not even as large as some of our most populous provinces in China, but they now have more than one million registered football players. The combined number of youth football and cheng ren football is more than 300 million. Among such a large football population, choose Sending a few players into the national team is really striving for excellence. Our country is far behind England in the cultivation of reserve talents."

As a coach who once dreamed of becoming the head coach of the Chinese national team, Su Yun thought a lot after arriving in England.

Especially about the gap between English football and Chinese football.

The two aspects Su Yun mentioned are what Su Yun thinks about the most.China has such a large population and such a vast territory.It is absolutely possible to increase the number of clubs in the league.Populous provinces such as Henan, Sichuan, and Shandong can have more clubs.

A major sports province like Liaoning can also increase the number of football clubs.

Of course, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, these economically outstanding areas are also capable of supporting more football clubs.

With China's population base and economic development speed, as long as the investment is increased, it will definitely catch up with world football soon.Su Yun sometimes wished he could become the chairman of the Football Association and lead the development of Chinese football by himself.

"Brother Su, do you have any suggestions for the development of Chinese football?"
