"Chinese Derby! "

This is the headline among the major sports media in China.Baidu search: When reading novels, as long as it is a sports media, this title is used as the main page.

It is also the first title to appear in the history of Chinese sports media.

What is China Derby?

This is the headline used by the Chinese media when reporting the League Cup semi-finals.

How did the title appear.

The draw for the League Cup semi-final is Birmingham and Ipswich Town, Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

Chelsea's head coach is Su Yun, while Crystal Palace has Fan Zhiyi, an absolute tycoon in Chinese football.Moreover, Fan Zhiyi's performance in the Crystal Palace was extremely good, and he was already the captain of the Crystal Palace.

This is very remarkable.

In the current European football, Asian players are not doing well.Iranian players are considered to be the best.But only in German football.

In British football, there are not many Asian players who can mix well.

English football is very conservative and exclusive.

It can even be said to be very proud.

They look down on Asian players.Whether it is the traditional strong Korean and Saudi players in Asia, or the current Asian strong teams from Japan and Iran.In the eyes of British footballers, they are completely a group of players in the football desert.

This kind of discrimination has penetrated into the bones of these English football players.

Su Yun has been in British football for six years, and he understands this deeply.Now that Su Yun is in this position, there are still many celebrities in English football who look down on and reject Su Yun.

With the same results, they will tolerate their local coaches.

But a coach like Su Yun.They will be much harsher.

The same goes for players.

For their own players, they are very protective.Even if there are some shortcomings, they will tolerate and even encourage them.Of course tout more.But players from other countries, they will treat them very harshly.

This is conservative English football.

In this environment, it is a remarkable achievement for Fan Zhiyi to be the captain of Crystal Palace.

But there are some pity.

Crystal Palace is a League One club, and there are not many local TV stations in China broadcasting the Premier League.There are no TV stations that will broadcast League One games at all.

Otherwise, with Fan Zhiyi's appeal in Chinese football, maybe the current Fan Zhiyi can better represent Chinese football.

After all, Su Yun is just a head coach.

And Fan Zhiyi is a real Chinese football boss.Pity.

Crystal Palace is not easy.

A League One club turned out to be in the semi-finals of the League Cup.

Chinese fans are very happy.

A Chinese derby can be seen in the distance.See China's best coaches play against China's best players.Su Yun is a star promoted by the media.So how many years has Fan Zhiyi been a big shot in Chinese football?

The Chinese media is already noisy.

England, on the other hand, was very quiet.Chelsea vs Crystal Palace?What's the point of this.

If there is only one point of view.

That is, both clubs belong to the same London, and both are South London teams.According to tradition, it also belongs to the South London Derby.Because there are too many teams in London.So there is no such thing as a London derby.It's all a South London derby, a North London derby, a North-South London derby, an East London derby and so on.

In terms of regions, Chelsea and Crystal Palace can also be regarded as South London Derby.

But when it comes to Derby, it is still very reluctant.There isn't much animosity between the two clubs.One is a strong Premier League team, and the other has been playing in League One.Even if there is no contradiction between the two clubs in history, it is really difficult to establish a derby.

It can be said that there are very few opportunities for the two clubs to meet each other.

Not to mention hate.

And the gap between the two teams is really too big.

There is almost no suspense.

So the London press was quiet.Although it is the semi-finals of the League Cup, the media's views are unanimous.Chelsea will have no suspense over Crystal Palace.

In addition, Su Yun is a very restrained coach, and he rarely provokes his opponents before the game.And Crystal Palace is not qualified to provoke Chelsea. Chelsea didn't say anything and they would not take the initiative to provoke.So there is little press material.

very quiet.

But the Chinese media is already fully mobilized here.

A bunch of journalists poured into the UK.

In the past, such sports media reporters rarely came abroad.Because not only the procedures are cumbersome, but the cost is also very high.The TV station is okay, those newspapers can hardly afford this kind of cost.However, as the influence of European football in China is growing, it should be said that the circulation of these newspapers is also increasing year by year.They already have a lot of capital, so many media have dedicated foreign reporters stationed abroad.

This so-called "China Derby" attracted a large number of Chinese journalists.

It's not just sports reporters.

The influence of football is reflected at this time.Even many non-sports media have begun to report on this event.

Chinese Derby.

What a nice title.

Bates is a businessman.very happy.

Even the Premier League is very happy.The Premier League has been devoting itself to developing the Far East market over the years.Among them, China is also a very important development target.But the Chinese market is not so easy to swallow.

Because the Serie A league occupied the best situation early.

But they didn't give up one bit.

Now Su Yun's influence is growing.The Premier League is optimistic.If Su Yun can rely on Su Yun to open up the Chinese market, that would be a great thing.

Before the game, Su Yun was also interviewed by many reporters.

Su Yun, a reporter from these hometowns, is very friendly.He almost answered every question, and didn't want to leave a bad impression on them. "Fan Zhiyi? I am quite familiar with him. I think he is really not easy, very remarkable. With his own strength and hard work, he became the captain of Crystal Palace. A Chinese player became the captain of a European club. Fantastic achievement. We should all applaud Fan Zhiyi."

Su Yun spoke highly of Fan Zhiyi.

from inner heart.

Only someone like Su Yun who has made his way in English football.Only then will I understand what Fan Zhiyi is not easy.

"I think Fan Zhiyi has set a very good example for Chinese players. Chinese players should have the perseverance and courage of Fan Zhiyi. They should not stay in the Chinese league, but should come to Europe to have a look. If they can't play in the mainstream European league With a foothold, you can also play in some second-tier leagues. With the strength of Chinese players, if you are willing to make the first step. Then the Ligue [-] and the Eredivisie are very good stages.”

Every time Su Yun talks to Chinese reporters, he emphasizes this point.

"You can even play in League One like Fan Zhiyi. Now Fan Zhiyi is already interested in many Premier League teams. This is all done step by step. I really hope that Chinese players can learn from Fan Zhiyi."

Fan Zhiyi has indeed received the attention of many Premier League clubs.

His performance in League One is outstanding.

At this time, Su Yun wished that he was the chairman of the Football Association.

"Clubs should support players to come to the European League. And the Football Association should support these clubs. In terms of some preferential conditions, it should be given to those clubs that support players to study abroad."

Those reporters wrote Su Yun's point of view in a hurry.

Unlike before, with Su Yun's influence now, casually expressing some opinions is enough for their newspaper to write.

…………

Chinese Derby.It's about to start.

On January 1th, Selhurst Park Stadium.

In London in January, the weather is relatively cold.And it was really hard for Su Yun to bear.After the new year.This is already the tenth day.But Su Yun didn't even see the sun for one day in these ten days.

It has been raining heavily since morning.

Although it rains a lot in London, it doesn't rain much.

But today was uncharacteristically, and it has been raining heavily since the morning.

Cold and raining.

Really disgusting weather.

sun, sun.

Having not seen the sun for half a month, Su Yun was going crazy.Su Yun suddenly missed Sunderland, and the weather in Sunderland was not very good.But compared to the almost invisible sun in January here in London, it is really much better.

London.

Fucking garbage weather.

Even if there is no sun, you can snow.It turned out to be raining, so Su Yun really didn't know what to say.

Crystal Palace's stadium drainage system is terrible.

The Selhurst Park Stadium has been under construction for 70 years.Although it has undergone tinkering in the middle, it is still very old.Compared with the century-old Stamford Bridge, the drainage system is really old.

Coupled with the heavy rain, the stadium was completely muddy.

Chelsea has urgently discussed with the FA.Hope to change the game time.

But a cold answer.

This rain does not affect the game.

This made Su Yun very angry.

When entering the stadium, Su Yun felt his body chill.Although already wearing a thick coat.But the biting cold weather still made Su Yun very uncomfortable.

Looking at the muddy court again, Su Yun's mood became even worse.

"Coach Su, hello."

Before the game, Su Yun and Fan Zhiyi greeted each other.

Unlike players from other countries.

There are too few Chinese players playing in foreign countries.In the current British football, there are only two Chinese, Su Yun and Fan Zhiyi, and they met with great difficulty.

"Hello."

Because the game was about to start, the two just greeted each other briefly.

The game is about to start.

Watching the rain that showed no sign of stopping.Su Yun shook his head.

Seeing the muddy field, Su Yun frowned even more.Because of the nasty heavy rain, Su Yun put Zola on the bench.The field was so bad, Su Yun was really afraid that Zola would be injured on such turf.

down, down.

Am I really afraid that such a stadium will fail?

"The players from both sides have already entered the stadium. Chelsea are all in the main lineup except for Zola. Coach Su Yun doesn't seem to be relaxed because the opponent is a League One team. Su Yun, who can determine the League Cup champion Coaching is inevitable.” (To be continued..)
