245. Where are you going, Mr. Long?
"Crack..."
At the post-match press conference, Oman coach Hamad, who had previously threatened to "get five goals from China", did not even appear at the press conference. He only dared to send his assistant coach to deal with the media's ridicule and ridicule.
The Chinese captain, who only appeared on the bench for 10 minutes but took away the honor of the best player in the game without any controversy, naturally became the focus of the venue.
It may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is the focus, because there is no high-end media in Oman, and they are not in the mood to listen to how the winners "boast about themselves".
So this press conference became an exclusive interview with a Chinese reporter to ask the Chinese captain...
"I am CCTV reporter Liu Jiayuan," the young commentator came here as a guest star. "The process of this game is a bit thrilling, but fortunately we won the final victory. Let's talk about your feelings?"
This is the most common problem, and Captain Long, who has been acting as Ajax's press spokesperson in recent years, is of course familiar:
"With the strength gap between the Chinese team and Oman team, these two rounds should not have been so hard. Although I have been joining the team for a short time, it can be seen that my teammates work hard and everyone is very eager to win. But perhaps it is because of the pressure and the burden of thinking, it is difficult for them to exert their true strength in the game."
I also want to say that the reason why we were able to win this game is because we changed our playing style compared to the first game. We no longer pursue too fine ball control and cooperation under our feet, but instead emphasize more on the confrontation of physical strength and better use our height advantage. This is the key to our advantage.
In addition, the team leader Li, who temporarily commanded the game, grasped the time point of substitutions very appropriately. He sent me on the court when the Oman team's physical fitness was at the critical point, and used my personal ability to break through their defense, which achieved excellent results. Oh, I will not be described as an arrogant person by you, right?"
All the Chinese journalists present burst into laughter.
They wanted to tell the guy sitting on the stage:
In this national Olympic team, you are the only one who has the qualifications to be arrogant.
But Li Bing felt very comfortable:
Captain Long is very proud of his face. He obviously took the initiative to come forward and applied for the stage, but he still didn't forget to give me a copy of the credit... Fortunately, I saw the situation clearly and hugged his thighs early on, otherwise how could this good fruit be eaten today?
Just listen to this arrogant guy continuing to analyze
"If I were replaced in the midfield, I would probably not be the role of a surprise player. Instead, it would cause loopholes due to the lack of cooperation between me and other teammates; if it was replaced later, Oman might equalize the score, and my appearance would lose its meaning."
Then Long Shute changed his tone:
"Guide Li's on-site command ability is not inferior to Coach Bu at all. He is also flexible in mind and knows how to adapt to changes. He has a high prestige in teams of all ages. Compared with some foreign coaches, he also knows the ideological status of Chinese players better. If an emergency occurs, he can communicate better with the players, so as to convey tactical changes to the entire team as soon as possible..."
Li Bing quickly put away his smile and looked humble and cautious, but his heart even more laughed.
The reporters gradually understood the trick.
This captain...is he trying to make trouble?
Isn’t the last passage he said just to criticize Brazevic for not being good enough?
Liu Jiayuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and changed the topic:
"The National Olympic Team has now officially entered the top 12 Asian qualifiers. Teams such as Japan, South Korea, Australia, Iran, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Uzbekistan, Syria, etc. are all traditional Asian strong teams. How confident are you in the face of such a situation?"
"If I remember correctly, based on the current international ranking of the Chinese team, we should be one of the three seed teams," Long Shute replied with the help of the system's reminder, "This identity can allow us to avoid the two strongest opponents and occupy a more powerful position in the group stage. As for securing it? Since you ask me, I can tell you with certainty that at least one position in the men's football event in the London Olympics."
Those Chinese journalists couldn't believe their ears!
In recent decades, in addition to the host's advantage in 2008, when did the Chinese team enter the Olympic Games' main stage?
Looking at their expressions, Long Shute laughed:
"A little over a month ago, I said that Ajax could win the Champions League championship. At that time... reporters from all over Europe seemed to have this expression, but what's the result? You must know. Well, if there is no problem, then today's press conference can end."
“Yes, yes!”
Another reporter quickly raised his hand and stood up:
"Can you ask a personal question?"
Long Shute glanced at him: "It can only be related to football."
"Uh, okay, I originally wanted to ask your girlfriend, since that's the case, then forget it..."
The reporter was very sensible and sat down obediently again.
"Mr. Long, I have another question, which is definitely about football."
Another man stood up:
"Although the summer transfer window will only open in July, European football has now produced many heavyweight transfers. Can you reveal your plans?"
“My new contract with Ajax has only been fulfilled for one season, and we have just created a series of great results together, both coaches, management and fans are very supportive of me, so I don’t force a transfer.”
Long Shute's answer is simply the most official template.
He is not a fool, and even a reporter from his motherland cannot reveal his own tone.
Although language has borders, the integrity of journalists has no bottom line.
-
After the competition, officials led by Yu Hongchen held a small dinner with Long Shute.
Chinese people have always liked to talk about important things while eating, and this time is no exception.
While drinking and having fun, they had reached a unified opinion. After returning to China, they quit the stubborn but ignorant Brazevic and supported Li Bing, a local celebrity who was well-received within the Football Association.
The superior leader nodded, and the team leader did not object. The team's only superstar even took the initiative to support it. Li Bing's takeover was almost certain.
The day after defeating Oman, Long Shute said goodbye to these teammates of the same age and flew back to Amsterdam with his two followers.
There are no direct flights from Muscat, the capital of Oman to Amsterdam. The two nearest routes pass through Frankfurt and Munich in Germany. Although it is a little more expensive, Longshute, which is no short of money, certainly chooses Lufthansa, which saves the most time.
After nearly seven hours of flight, the plane made an hour's stop at Munich Airport before taking off again.
Some people got off the plane, and some just boarded.
"disturb."
A strong German man nodded to him and sat on the other side of the aisle.
But the German was obviously stunned for a moment, then took out a booklet from the file and checked it carefully.
"Sorry to bother again," he leaned toward the aisle, "If I didn't recognize the wrong person, you should be Mr. Long Shute?"
German and English have a lot in common, but they are very different in more places. Fortunately, Long Shute has a system that can freely switch to various languages, so he simply switched to German and talked to the other party: "Yes, hello."
The German guy was startled by his German language at first, then took out a business card from his bag, and handed it over with a smile:
"I am Christian Nelinger, the sports director of Bayern Munich, and I'm glad to meet you on the plane, Mr. Long."
Long Shute was also slightly stunned, and then replied with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Nelinger, you're going to Amsterdam too? Does Ajax have any players that Bayern like?"
Nelinger answered him with a serious look:
"Yes, Mr. Long, I hope to have a private talk with you."
Long Shute pondered slightly and said:
"If I remember correctly, your scouts have had contact with me, but you don't seem to offer Ajax?"
"That's true, because Bayern is very cautious about every transfer, so he will not issue a quotation after just one contact."
Nelinger explained seriously that he adhered to the usual serious attitude of the Germans:
"And my visit is to express the club's attitude more formally, and Bayern Munich is eager to get you."
Long Shute nodded without comment:
Chapter completed!
