After Tang Hong won the Champions League for four consecutive years and led Paris Saint-Germain to defeat Real Madrid head-on in the 2016 Champions League final, it is generally believed that Tang Hong will start the Golden Globe Awards Continuing mode.

But at the end of the European Cup, with C Ronaldo leading Portugal to win the championship trophy, the situation of Tang Hong's "steady win" in the Golden Ball Award was broken.

The situation reverses directly!

Before the new season began, Tang Hong gave an exclusive interview to "French Football" at his home in Paris.

This interview will be held in the form of a recorded program, with Mendes coordinating from the side.

In luxury cars and mansions, Tang Hong seems to have the same life as other stars as rich people.

Tang Hong took the program team to visit his home, his gym, spa, and court, which are the most closely related to his daily training at home.

He didn't have to show off his appearance in fitness training at this time. The traces of show are too obvious, and what he looks like is obvious to all on the court.

The program team saw many world-famous videos on the home theater's disc rack, including popcorn movies like Marvel, but also inspirational films that define greatness in Europe and the United States, such as "Happiness Comes Knocking" and "Shawshank Redemption".

At the same time, he also found a messy handicraft room. Tang Hong smiled and explained to them that he and his lover would make some graffiti works here. He also showed several hand-made graffiti T-shirts, as well as some small white shoes he wore when he went out on the street, with his lover's crooked signatures or his son and daughter's palm prints.

The interview host hoped to see Tang Hong's garage, so Tang Hong took them to the garage for a visit.

Compared with many well-known sports superstars in the world who collect limited edition supercars or cutting-edge concept sports cars from major auto manufacturers, Tang Hong's garage looks more normal, Audi R8, BMW Z4, very ordinary DS, SUV, and he seems not very interested in sports cars.

When the host asked him why he didn't buy a few more fashionable sports cars, Tang Hong smiled and said, "To be honest, it's not that I don't have any interest in those sports cars, but that I have passed the most interesting stage.

I know that supercars are toys in the hands of many rich people, but I was tired of these toys a long time ago.”

As he sat with the host on the side of the court behind the manor chatted, the host asked about his growth.

He roughly simply said that his family was average when he was a child, but later his family became very wealthy.

Obviously, it is not the story of the stars who come out of the slums and change their destiny.

The host thought that Tang Hong’s simplest love for football!

Many players have indeed been determined to change their destiny through football since childhood, which has become their strong motivation and willpower to grit their teeth and persevere.

But it is undeniable that after many players change their destiny, this momentum and willpower will decline, so that many players who are optimistic about going higher and far will eventually become indifferent to everyone.

At least their original goal has been achieved and has indeed changed their destiny.

This does not mean that Tang Hong's "simple love" is better, because a considerable number of players from wealthy families have a weak ability to resist setbacks. They have a bright future when they are smooth sailing, and they are likely to stop or even retreat against the current when they are trapped against the wind.

Everyone has their own paths, and life is all about it, just like this.

The host asked: "If you don't have a love for football, what kind of life do you think you should live now? What kind of job do you think you should be in?"

Tang Hong said frankly: "It should be an investor role. I will have more free time and will still maintain the habit of fitness, but I will work hard to cultivate more life hobbies. Maybe I will spend more time traveling and go around the world where I want to go."

“Not now?”

"It seems OK to think about it, but in fact, when the holidays are over, I will become a little lazy again. I don't want to wander around the world. I just want to find a place with my family with a good scenery. As for traveling and experiencing different customs and cultures, I should wait until after retirement."

The host discussed with him some of the situation in Chinese football next.

Tang Hong elaborated on some of his own views and said: "Although China and Japan began professional football development almost at the same time, there are considerable differences in managers' decision-making and strategy.

The strategic development of Japanese football is often based on ten or twenty years. Chinese football does not have stable and long-term plans. At the same time, it plays too many roles on the road to professional football. In mature football leagues, the Football Association is just a system maintenance manager, but it is not changing the rules every year or requiring members of the association to do what they should do. This major interference must be made.

They try to balance the interests of all parties and give external public opinion a satisfactory answer, which often harms the interests of the club and is very unfavorable to the development of the club."

The host thoughtfully said: "What do you mean is that Chinese football is not good enough and it is entirely the management team. Is the responsibility of the Football Association?"

Tang Hong smiled and shook his head and said, "How is that possible? It would be great if this world was so simple.

The immaturity of Chinese football is all-round. At the club level, when they can establish a football school with a large area in their base camp, they should look at whether European teams will do this.

To outsiders, a club has invested heavily and established a youth training academy, which even makes people feel that the finished product is very luxurious.

With the same investment, small football schools can be established that are scattered to more regions, which will definitely have different effects on popularizing youth training and absorbing young players.

Moreover, from the starting point, China's youth training schools are essentially different from Europe.

The youth training in Europe serves the adult team. They will not expect to recruit more students to create high returns. What they expect is to step out of the youth training academy, Irving, Sterling, Messi, Xavi, and Casillas.

But Chinese football youth training schools seem to be keen on making money, and they treat it as a business.

I never deny that professional clubs are business, input, output, control revenue and expenditure, and strive to create profits.

But the Youth Training Academy should have been included in the cost of this business, so it cannot count on this part to create profits.

If you live in China, the expenses of your child’s normal schooling are about ten times the expenses of going to football schools!”

The host's expression was a little surprised. Maybe in the eyes of the French, playing football is a street sports, not aristocratic sports!

The mature youth training system in Europe has a one-year tuition fee including training equipment and catering after training, and the cost is about 500 euros.

This is a year.

In China, where per capita income is lower, the cost of this is 5 times smaller, and the more is more than 10 times more!

"It is also a big problem that the threshold for youth training is too high, right?"

"At least that's what I think. In addition, in terms of social environment and values, Chinese children are more generally required to change their lives through traditional education.

People are born unequal, different family conditions, different growth environments, policy differences, etc., the whole world is the same.

But in Chinese children have the most important equal opportunity to change their destiny in their lives, that is, the college entrance examination. Starting from the imperial examination system in ancient China, this is the best opportunity for Chinese people to change their own destiny, and in a sense it is even an equal opportunity.

Get into a better school, receive a better education, get a higher education to find a high-income job, or have a better starting platform.

So you ask me why there are so many fans in China, the sport is so popular, but the registered population of football is incredibly small.

I think this is the answer I can give.

If I were an ordinary person and my child wanted to change his destiny, I would say to him: Then you should study hard!

I couldn't send him to play football and make the family burdened.

Besides, no one can be sure that the huge annual family spending will be used to train children to play football, and eventually the children will be able to earn the job of professional football.

But going to school is different. As long as he works hard, even if he is not an outstanding top talent, the knowledge and professional ability he learns will give him at least a stable job."

What Tang Hong said in an interview today is true, but not all of him.

He has experienced the growth of an ordinary family, and has suffered from the pain of giving up his studies and playing football but being deterred by high thresholds.

He didn't know how many children in China would suffer similar pain, and he could not change the fate of others at once.

What he can do is to build more stadiums with Tianhai as the center, get on the right track in Tianhai Xinxing's youth training school, and then promote it to build more youth training schools after it has a more mature operating model.

Perhaps twenty years later, fifty years later, everything he did was just useless, and history did not even have the interest to mock him, just as his efforts had never existed.

He doesn't care, nor does he care.

His awareness is not so noble that he must shoulder what he can do.

It is more like an interest arises from love, sowing causes and seeing if there will be any results in the future.

If there is something, you will be happy; if there is nothing, you will be smiling.

The host finally talked about C Ronaldo leading the team to win the championship trophy in the European Cup.

Mendes, who had been following the camera, frowned slightly.

He has two superstars, and he is emotionally biased towards Ronaldo, so he does not want Tang Hong to have conflicts with Ronaldo in his career, especially in front of him.

But at least among the media and fan groups, Tang Hong, C Ronaldo, Messi and the three of them were incompatible.

Tang Hong smiled calmly and said, "He has accomplished another great achievement. I have sent him a congratulatory message after the European Cup."

This is true. Tang Hong has contact information between Messi and C Ronaldo. He doesn’t talk about meetings at the UEFA Awards Ceremony and FIFA Awards Ceremony. In the past two years, they will have some interview programs in the same lounge before the ceremony.

Some of their fans may be disappointed.

They rolled up their sleeves and started to fuck before they met.

The host asked with a smile: "Last year's Golden Globe Awards, your vote as the captain of the Chinese national team was Reus, Messi, and Ronaldo.

What about this year?”

Tang Hong thought about it and said, "I think it should be C Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, and Thiago Silva."

“Will it change when voting?”

"It shouldn't be true. At least there is no suspense to be the first to vote for Ronaldo."

Tang Hong has never voted for himself in the past few years, and he has personal emotions.

Just like the year he transferred from Manchester United to Dortmund, in addition to C Ronaldo and Messi, the other one in his vote was Rooney.
Chapter completed!
