Chapter 336 Chasing the Wind (Chinese National Football Team)
"News 5 Minutes, in the international A-level friendly match that ended yesterday, the Chinese national team defeated the Philippine national team 0-."

"Chu Feng created three wonderful goals in the first half, causing the Filipino player Sato Daisuke to be sent off with a red card for a foul."

“He was substituted off in the 52nd minute and was named the best player of the match.”

"The Chinese team then continued to control the tempo of the game and won the final victory with a score of 5:0."

"It is not difficult to find that since Chu Feng's return, the national team has made great improvements in frontcourt organization, finishing the game and high-altitude competition."

"Of course, the strength of the Philippine team is limited. I hope that the Chinese national team members can guard against arrogance and continue to improve, from the top 40 qualifiers to the top 12 qualifiers, and then to the 2022 Qatar World Cup."

"To quote a Chinese fan interviewed yesterday: 'As long as we can see hope, we are willing to wait.'"

"."

The CCTV news anchor said so.

The Chinese football world was also in high spirits, even though they only defeated the Philippines.

But they saw the long-lost hope.

At this time, the Chinese national football team players are training in the Xianghe training base.

YOYO physical fitness test.

The full name is YOYO fitness test, which is an intermittent endurance test method.

It was invented by Jens, a sports doctor at the August Institute in Denmark.

Perform shuttle runs with intervals at an increasing speed to simulate the acceleration, deceleration, sudden stops, turns, and other actions that frequently occur in competitions.

Moreover, this training method needs to be carried out when the players reach their physical limits.

Although it was invented last century, it is still used today, including by clubs in the five major leagues.

Of course, this is just a routine means of training, not the only criterion for whether a player can play football.

After all, there are many talented players in football, and Baggio, Ronaldinho and others do not meet the standards.

But for most players, it still has a big effect.

Beep
The shrill whistle sounded again, and Chu Feng instantly accelerated and rushed out, with only a few people following behind him.

Yu Dabao, Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi.
The rest of the players were standing with their hands on their hips, gasping for breath.

After two rounds, only Chu Feng and Yu Dabao were left, but the latter also stopped after three rounds.

Chu Feng didn't continue after completing the last set.

He frowned slightly and looked at his teammates, thinking that their physical fitness was indeed a bit poor.

There is a saying in the football world: If you are talented enough, you don’t have to worry about physical fitness.

But actually?
With the development of modern football, physical fitness has become a key attribute.

Maintaining high-intensity pressing, confrontation, and running all require physical strength.

And the pace of the game is so fast now.

In previous national team games, fans always said: dragon in the first half, worm in the second half.

The root cause is lack of physical fitness.

That’s why chain problems like ball-stopping errors and weak shooting occur.

Of course, is it useful to train physical fitness in a pathological way?
nonsense.

It's definitely useless.

Why not ask marathon runners to play football?

Football soccer.

It won’t work without football.

Mourinho once told Chu Feng: Great pianists never run around the piano, let alone do push-ups next to the piano.

After the five-minute break, Lippi signaled for the next round of training.

Some of the national football players looked embarrassed.

But no one dared to question it, because Chu Feng not only had a deterrent effect, but actually had a greater impact on the players.

The national team is not a place where personal connections are important.

The previous methods of giving money and gifts are no longer effective.

Lippi's attitude was also very firm. He did not let Chu Feng play the bad guy. After all, the relationship between the players needed to be maintained.

He said before training: "The starting lineup in the future will take into account tactics, data, performance and other aspects, and will be selected according to unified standards."

To put it simply: the capable ones will be on top.

After finally making it to the end of the training, everyone went into the physiotherapy room, chatting while getting a massage.

"Brother Chu, do you practice like this every day in the club?"

Zhu Chenjie felt the soreness in his calves.

"This is a scientific training plan developed by the coaching staff based on your situation."

Chu Feng put down his phone and continued, "We don't train like this in the club because the tight schedule doesn't support it. We always find time to train at the beginning of the season. At that time, we did train much harder than we do now."

Many young people who have just joined the national team are very curious about Chu Feng’s experience studying abroad.

Either they ask what it feels like to play against Manchester City, or they ask what it feels like to touch the Champions League trophy.

Chu Feng also answered patiently.

When he saw Zhu Chenjie was hesitant to speak, he asked, "Have you ever thought about going out to play football?"

"Of course!"

Zhu Chenjie nodded quickly.

"Now, all four levels of English leagues require a work permit, but Manchester United has satellite clubs, Antwerp, Utrecht, and Livingston. I can recommend you there, and your chances of passing are very high given your ability."

Chu Feng changed the subject, "But the salary won't be very high. For teams outside the top five leagues, the salary is generally like this. It's definitely not comparable to that in China, even with the salary cap."

To be honest, his status in Manchester United is not low, and he has a good relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, the Chairman of the English Football Association and others.

Of course, this relationship is based on interests.

But as long as Chu Feng remains strong and continues to play in the Premier League, this relationship will only grow deeper.

Not to mention sending Zhu Chenjie to a satellite team, even if Manchester United used the "non-European" quota to send him to a small Championship team, Sandezi would happily agree.

Who can bring immeasurable benefits to Manchester United?

If Manchester United doesn't want to, there are plenty of teams that agree.

For example, Manchester City, which is backed by the City Group, also has many satellite clubs around the world.

But this is not very effective and it is difficult for players to truly grow.

"No problem! I don't spend much on a daily basis, and the team provides food and lodging, so I can totally handle it!"

Zhu Chenjie was so excited that he was incoherent.

He knows that starting with those small teams will give him stable playing opportunities.

Didn’t Brother Chu also work his way up from the youth training camp, U15, and U18?

And he has a long-term vision.

After all, progress in the Chinese Super League is limited. He can make more money in the next few years, but what he exchanges for money is the future.

If I can play well in the future, let alone become a player like Brother Chu.

But as long as he can secure a place as a main player in a mid-to-lower-level team in the top five leagues.

The benefits brought about are beyond his reach now.

Even if we take a step back and say that he didn't make it, would he have become stronger by studying abroad?

Chinese players have proved it through their own experience.

I will definitely earn more money when I return to China.

"You can think about it for a few days. If you really want to go out, I can recommend something for you."

Chu Feng plans to give up some of the profits from domestic endorsements to subsidize overseas players.

He himself has benefited from the development of Chinese football. Why can't he give back to Chinese football?
Not only that, he is also preparing his own youth training club, hiring professional coaches, building a professional system, and providing comprehensive training.
For young players from other youth training institutions, if they can pass specific assessments, he will cover all expenses for their overseas youth training.

Oh, and he already picked a name for it.

Just called: Chasing the Wind

He wants to use his influence to ignite the light of hope for the future of Chinese football.

However, if you want to accomplish something, passion alone is not enough, you must have a complete system.

Secondly, commercialization is also necessary.

In other words, Chu Feng can invest, but he cannot suffer too much loss, and he may even have to make a profit.

Because you have to let others see that youth football training is profitable, so that capital will come in to invest and the basic foundation of Chinese football can become bigger.

Only in this way can those youth training grassroots who sacrifice for love get a salary that is sufficient to support their families.

The world is bustling with people, and everything goes well.

The truth is that.

But how to make money?
There is a complete system abroad, which may not be applicable in China, but is definitely worth learning from.

In addition, those pioneers in the country who focus on youth training have already paved a narrow path in advance.

What Chu Feng needs to do is to widen and flatten the road.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the young Chinese national football team players lit up and they couldn't wait to go back and discuss it with the club.

Oh, no one dares to block the contract now.

Because at this stage players are encouraged to study abroad.

As for the other players who are over the age limit, they could not hide the loneliness in their eyes.

At the same time, I was secretly frightened.

Chu Feng's move was so ruthless that it directly conquered the young players.

What's more, Lippi is standing behind him.

No, it should be said that Lippi is standing behind him.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble in the national team again will probably end up being kicked out in disgrace.

"There will be a lot of national team endorsements recently, so everyone's better prepare in advance because I will return to the club in July."

Chu Feng threw out another pair of king bombs.

His return to the national team now is equivalent to bringing commercial value back to the national team.

But the Chinese national football team players understood the hidden meaning in Chu Feng's words.

Train hard, play hard, and I don't mind sharing some soup with you.

But anyone who dares to give up won't even get a scoop, and there are many people who want to join the national team.

And who would complain about having too much money?
should not.

Some people subconsciously looked at Zheng Zhi, wanting to know what the national team captain thought of Chu Feng's actions.

But all they saw was a calm face.

Zheng Zhi knew he couldn't play for much longer.

But he wants to make Chinese football better, so he can only pin his hopes on Chu Feng.

Originally he thought Chu Feng was very young and needed him to clear the obstacles for Chu Feng.

But I didn't expect that today would overturn my opinion of Chu Feng.

Mature, resourceful, decisive. Most importantly, he is ruthless and strong enough.

Only people like this can calm down the locker room.

Zheng Zhi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

We have the stick and we have the carrot.

The atmosphere within the Chinese team today should be unprecedentedly united.

Jingle Bell--

A loud bell rang quietly, and Chu Feng walked to the window and opened the curtains to let the warm sunlight in.

"Zlatan?"

"Are you going to come back and come to Manchester United?"

"What, you don't want to be my substitute, so you go to AC Milan?"

"."

After Chu Feng finished the call, he sighed helplessly.

He thought Ibrahimovic was going back to Manchester United.

But it is normal to think about it. With Ibrahimovic's proud personality, how could he possibly be a substitute for himself?

Think about the possibility that the two of them will meet in the future.

Chu Feng thought it was quite interesting and he was looking forward to it.

On June 6, the day before China's friendly match against Tajikistan, the Xianghe training base was open to the public for two hours.

Even though only the media were allowed in, there were still many fans gathered outside.

"Hello everyone, I am He Sheng, the social supervisor of Chinese football, and I am now broadcasting live at the Xianghe training base."

He Sheng, who was called "Money Return Brother" by the fans, followed a large number of media people to the training ground.

He should be the epitome of domestic fans.

Deep love, deep hatred.

Although the Chinese national football team has always disappointed people before, he can still be seen at the game.

"Now the Chinese national football team no longer refuses external supervision and has also opened up the training process. As for whether the tactics will be exposed, I think the coaching staff is prepared."

"Now let's go interview Xiao Chu. Haha, considering my age, it shouldn't be too much to call me Xiao Chu."

He Sheng walked to the interview area beside the court and handed the miniature microphone to Chu Feng.

"Xiao Chu, what do you want to say about yesterday's game?"

"It's a good start for my national team career, but the Philippines' strength on paper is average and can't serve as a test of tactics. I can only say that we still need to improve and adjust our system and tactics. Only in the second half of the Asian qualifiers, when we play against strong teams such as South Korea, Japan and Syria, can we get the points we deserve."

"It's your first hat trick for the national team. How do you feel?"

"It's different from when you were at the club. When you see fans like you in the stands cheering for you, you feel very proud."

"What is the next goal?"

“Break out of Asia and go to the world.”

When He Sheng heard this slogan, he was stunned.

In the 1980s, this was what fans expected of the Chinese national football team, but who knew that the results would get worse year by year.

He looked up at Chu Feng in front of him.

The first time he paid attention to Chu Feng was in 2011, when Chu Feng had just joined Manchester United's youth training camp.

unconsciously.

He has shed his boyish immaturity and turned into a vibrant young man.

“Wish us success.”

“Wish us success.”

The two of them high-fived each other.

The second person to interview Chu Feng was Chao Yiwen, a female reporter from PP Sports.

By the way, fans like to call her “Money Back Sister”.

At the same time, this media open day has also aroused discussions among fans in major forums and live broadcasts.

[Several media outlets used beauty filters on Chu Feng, and the effect was almost as good as that of Korean goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo. Not only was his face pale, but he was also wearing eye shadow! ]
-
[I heard that Lippi has already started selecting players from the U23 and U19 teams. The national team may be dominated by young people in the future. ]

-
[Capitalists are not fools. ]
-
[And not only Manchester United satellite clubs, but also teams from the Turkish Super League, the Dutch Super League, the Bundesliga, etc. are also contacting young Chinese players. ]
-
[Other clubs will surely be tempted to see Manchester United scratch lottery tickets and win the first prize. This is the herd effect.]
-
[Studying abroad is studying abroad, but youth training is the foundation. I saw the news released by Xiao Chu that the youth training camp he established will start in early August, and it has also received support from the local people in Bincheng, ensuring that both learning and playing football can be promoted.]
