Chapter 347 What happened to the domestic coach?
The Chinese team won the game 4:1. Needless to say, the locker room was naturally happy. Jiang Yuan and Feng Xiaoting took mineral water bottles and poured water on Zhang Yuning to celebrate the Wenzhou boy's first goal in his national team career. The other players cheered for Gao Hongbo.

The atmosphere was good, but after Li Yi, who arrived late, pushed the door open, the players suddenly stopped celebrating.

Obviously, the conflict between midfielder Jiang Yuan and Li Yi has caused the current male football players to feel alienated from Li Yi, and the confrontation between the Iron Armored Army and the Anti-Armored Army has been brought to the surface.

Li Yi noticed something strange in the locker room, but because he still had things to deal with, he didn't say much. He signaled Zhang Yuning and Feng Xiaoting to get ready, as they needed to be interviewed by media reporters at Tuodong Stadium today.

Of course, because this is a rare home game, the top management of the Football Association has one more requirement, which is to let all the players on the roster go to the stadium to thank the players, which takes about 20 minutes.

Jiang Yuan naturally had no objection to this. He turned around, picked up the jersey from his closet and walked out.

"China!"

Boom!

"China!"

Boom!

"Jiang Yuan!"

Boom!

The game had been over for more than 10 minutes, but the fans at Tuodong Stadium had not left yet. It was obvious that the Chinese fans were quite excited about such a big victory.

Alex, an American reporter for ESPN Asia, was accompanied by stadium staff to the VIP box, where he interviewed Qatari Prince and former Crown Prince Jassim, who was watching the game live. Jassim is an avid football fan and has played an important role in hosting the Qatar World Cup.

"Mr. Jassim, you lost this game, which means Qatar's chances of qualifying for the top 12 will be very slim. As a prince of Qatar, do you think this failure is acceptable?"

"Of course not, I'm angry now"

Jasim shook his head quickly, the white headscarf on his head rubbing against his thick beard. "I think we could have won, just like the goal in the first half, but we didn't. Instead, they (China) got more chances. I absolutely cannot accept that. In my opinion, the gap in strength between us and China is not that obvious!"

Jassim spoke in a serious tone, which also reflected his love for football. In order to develop in the field of football, he gave up the position of crown prince to his younger brother. As a loyal fan of the Qatar national team, Jassim couldn't bear to see the team he followed being defeated by a score of 1:4.

Most importantly, the World Cup in Russia.

Now, after 5 rounds, there are only 3 points. What can Qatar use to participate in the World Cup?

"Mr. Jasim, think about it this way. There are still five games to go..."

"No chance!"

Jasim interrupted the ESPN reporter and said, "Can we win all the next five games? We can't win at all! I got up before 5 o'clock in the afternoon to watch this game, but in the end, I lost the afternoon!"

"damn it!"

Jasim couldn't control his emotions, so he walked away. After taking two steps, he remembered something and said to the camera: "China's oil prices are going to rise."

……

Almost at the same time, Zhang Yuning and Feng Xiaoting were interviewed by reporters from China Sports Daily on the court, while Li Yi was interviewed by reporters from Xinhua News Agency in the press room.

"Coach Li, although we won, you didn't look very happy. Is this related to the tactical mistakes in the first half? Many fans said that you made serious mistakes in your tactical decisions in the first half. You emphasized continuous attacking when leading 3:0, which brought very serious pressure to the Chinese team's frontcourt."

"Nothing"

Li Yi answered expressionlessly, his face a little red from the sun, and his eyes looked directly at the reporters attending the press conference.

You know, when he was the head coach of the Huaxia Club and the Olympic Games, Li Yi usually wouldn't look reporters in the eye. It can be seen that after becoming the head coach of the national team, Li Yi has a lot of pride in his heart, and this pride makes him dare to confront reporters who question him.

“This was not a tactical mistake”

Li Yi explained: "At that time, Qatar wanted to suppress us with momentum when they were behind. I didn't want Qatar to successfully execute the tactics, so I emphasized the suppression in the frontcourt. If you ask me, if there was no continuous high-pressure defense in the first half, Qatar would have a high chance of equalizing the score in the second half."

"Then I want to change the question. You brought Zhou Wencheng, Han Qing, and Tian Zhong from the Huaxia Club to the national team, which has caused doubts among many fans. As the head coach of the national football team, do you think this is in line with the procedures?"

“Completely in line with the process”

Li Yi said categorically: "I used to be the head coach of Huaxia Club, and now I bring the players of Huaxia Club to the national team. You think I am abusing my personal rights, but what I want to say is that I led Huaxia Club to the Super League successfully, and also led Huaxia Club to a very good ranking in the 2016 Chinese Super League. So do I have reason to trust the players of Huaxia Club? As the former head coach of Huaxia Club, I know that there are many excellent players in the club. They have not received enough attention due to their young age or other reasons."

Li Yi was blowing his hair.

"If you ask me, talented people should not be buried"

Li Yi was experienced, and his remarks put the reporter, who was originally in an absolute advantage, at a disadvantage.

Zhou Wencheng, a fallen genius in the eyes of fans, but in Li Yi's eyes, he is Xiao Yan!

The reporter nodded to express his apology, and then immediately changed the subject: "It was reported earlier that Guangzhou team's foreign coach Lippi is interested in coaching the Chinese men's football team. If Lippi really takes over the men's football team, will you continue to stay in the team as an assistant coach, or return to the Chinese Super League club as the head coach?"

"Ok?"

Li Yi frowned, with some unhappiness in his eyes.

"Do you think that if a foreign coach comes, I have to leave? Huh... I want to ask, what's wrong with the domestic coach?"

"Are our achievements really worse than those of foreign coaches? We have also worked hard. If we look down on ourselves and the Chinese people, is there any hope for Chinese football?"

! ! 1
The more than 10 reporters in the audience were all silent.

Li Yi's words touched everyone's heart.

What happened to the domestic coaches?
What's wrong!
"It seems that Coach Li Yi hopes to stay in the national team. Then, um...assuming that Coach Li Yi continues to serve as the head coach of the national team, do you think you can lead the team to win the qualifiers next year?"

Judging from what the reporter said, he doesn't really believe that Li Yi can compete with Lippi for this position. After all, Lippi has experience with Inter Milan, Juventus, Naples, and the Italian national team.

Besides, the Football Association signed a temporary head coach contract with Li Yi, which has something to do with Lippi.

It is precisely because Lippi has the idea of ​​coaching the national team that the Football Association gave him a temporary head coach contract. The meaning is very clear. Li Yi is just a temporary coach during the buffer period.

But what the reporter didn’t know was that Li Yi had his own methods.

Li Yi's conversation with the Xinhua News Agency reporter lasted about 15 minutes, and at the end the reporter asked questions about the Iranian national team.

This Iranian national team is known for its tough defense and is not an easy opponent to deal with.

In this regard, the reporter also asked a targeted question: "Is it better for the Chinese national football team to attack from the wing or the center?"

Li Yi was silent for a long time before finally answering.

"Take the right path" "..."

"Ok?"

The reporter frowned: "Coach Li Yi, what you mean is..."

"There are still several months before the match with Iran. You are asking me which route to attack at this time. Isn't this leaking information to the opponent?"

"I cannot reveal this news, but I want to tell you and the Chinese fans that we will take the most correct path. As for whether it will be on the wing or in the middle, you will know when we play next year."

It turns out that what Li Yi meant by "taking the right path" was a secret that could not be revealed, otherwise it would be troublesome if the opponent knew the attack route.

Xinhua News Agency, November 11 (Reporter Wu Wen, Correspondent Liu Huabo): The question of the century, what happened to Chinese coaches? After the 15:4 victory over Qatar men's football team, Chinese national football coach Li Yi asked reporters a question at the press conference, which aroused deep thought.

Yunnan Tourism: To celebrate the Chinese men's football team's victory over the Qatari men's football team, before 11 pm on November 31, 8 scenic spots in YN Province, including Yulong Snow Mountain, Stone Forest, Yushuizhai, Tiger Leaping Gorge, and Pracuo, will offer a 41% discount to non-local tourists.

……

After defeating Qatar, Jiang Yuan returned to the base as soon as possible according to the club's request. Although he returned early, it seemed to be of no use. Chelsea's Champions League match against Sporting CP was held three days ago.

In the match, Chelsea took the lead at one point with the home advantage, but in the 70th minute, the players of Sporting CP suddenly exerted their strength and finally completed a 2:1 reversal, defeating Chelsea and coming first in Group G. This can be regarded as the most classic battle in this Champions League group stage.

After the fourth round, the ecology of Group G became extremely strange. The third seed Sporting CP ranked first with 4 points, followed by second-placed Chelsea and third-placed Dortmund, both of whom had 8 points, and Monaco, which had 7 points in 4 games.

The saying that everyone dies in the group of death is not completely without reason. Before the game, no one thought that Sporting CP would be able to top Group G after 4 rounds. The most fatal thing is that the biggest difference between the top three teams in Group G is only 1 point. If you are not careful, you may miss the knockout stage. It can be said that the pressure is full.

At the same time, Chelsea encountered something bad in the match against Sporting CP. Zouma's knee injury relapsed and he is expected to be out for at least another month. The first thing Jiang Yuan did when he returned to London was to visit the Frenchman at Zouma's home.

The knee was bandaged and the local clinic fitted him with a brace.

Jiang Yuan squatted down and carefully observed Zuma's knee. He even wanted to reach out and touch it, but Zuma dodged and screamed: "Don't touch it, it hurts. There is still fluid in my knee that hasn't been drained out."

"You won't be well for a month, will you?"

Jiang Yuan stood up and sat on the sofa, looking into Zuma's eyes. He didn't expect that when he returned to the national team to participate in a game, Little Kurt was out again.

"One month is a lie to reporters"

Zuma replied: "The doctor told me it would take about 60 days, but my metabolism is fast, so maybe I can recover in 50 days."

"50 days..."

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath. The 50 days Zuma mentioned must be the time to treat the knee effusion. In the 50-day treatment period, sports rehabilitation would take at least 2 weeks, and recovery to competitive form would take another 2 weeks. If you calculate it this way...

"You have to wait until next spring to compete?"

"That's it, fuck!"

Zuma clenched his fist and knocked it hard on the sofa: "That Brazilian is a bastard. To use the words of you Chinese, he is..."

"Stupid!"

amount……

Jiang Yuan smiled bitterly. As expected, the fastest language to learn is swear words. Now Zuma can say the word "idiot" without any accent.

Because Zouma was in a bad mood, Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry to leave, but stayed to accompany his club teammate for a while.

The two chatted for about 10 minutes, and Zuma suddenly remembered something, took out his iPhone, and opened Twitter skillfully: "Jiang, let me show you something."

"Hmm? What are you looking at?"

Jiang Yuan leaned over and saw clearly what was in Zuma's phone. It was a video of a football match.

The content of the video is... Jiang Yuan, wearing a red jersey, shot the ball directly to the right corner flagpole.

"..."

"Hahahahaha!!"

Zuma thrust his phone at Jiang Yuan's face and said, "Look! Look at your shot. Your shooting level is not as good as mine, right?"

"come on!"

Jiang Yuan leaned back and stretched out his hands: "I hit the wrong position, so I kicked the corner flag. It's just a mistake."

"Mistake, hahahaha!"

Zuma burst into laughter: "Jiang, when I was 6 years old I couldn't make such a funny shot as yours. Is your goal at the corner flagpole? Hahahaha!"

“Kurt”

"Fuck you shit bro!"
