Soy milk, fried dough sticks, meat buns, newspapers...

This is Deputy Director Cai’s breakfast, which has never changed day after day.

But this morning, when he walked into the restaurant, he was attracted by the front page of the Beijing Daily at first sight.

It was a photo that occupied the entire space. The protagonist was a young man who looked quite young. He jumped high and headed to attack the goal. The photo was taken incredibly delicately, and it could even capture the sweat from his hair when he attacked the goal.

The front page headline is: Historic goal!

The red jersey looks very similar to the Chinese national team's jersey, which makes Deputy Director Cai a little surprised.

What's going on? There has been no national team game recently, so how could there be a goal?

But when he opened the second page, he was immediately attracted by the report.

It turned out that this goal happened in a game in the Copa del Rey in Spain in the early morning, and Chinatown challenged Linnaser away.

Basically no one knows who this opponent is, but it is just a vague idea that it is a team in the third-level league, but what really attracted the attention of Deputy Director Cai was that there were two Chinese players in this game for Chinatown, which was the first time in history.

The first time it represents Chinatown, the first time a Chinese player landed in the Copa del Rey in Spain.

And there are two.

The game ended up winning 2-0. The best player was the 16-year-old French young player Mbappe. Although he did not score or assist, he was always the most active player on the court and was very popular.

Two Chinese players played the whole game, one named Wang Lei and the other named Zhao Jun, who were the midfielder and central defender respectively.

As soon as he saw these two names, Deputy Director Cai couldn't help but feel familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he clearly remembered that these were two names Gao Han once mentioned to him. A player who had received many years of training in Beijing Chinatown went to Spain this summer to enter the youth training echelon of Chinatown, and played for the second team's third-level league, and performed well.

But I didn't expect to join the first team so soon.

This made Deputy Director Cai a little nervous. Gao Han’s reputation was so famous that he claimed that he had a sharp eye. The players he liked never took a blind eye. All the players he chose became top stars.

Will Zhao Jun and Wang Lei be the next one?

Beijing Daily specially arranged a reporter to interview on site and introduced in detail the performance of the two Chinese players in this game. Both were very good. The goals were the biggest highlight and the product of the cooperation between the two Chinese players. However, in addition to scoring goals, both players can only be considered as just-in-law.

"Unlike Mbappe's appearance in the first team, this is the first time that two Chinese players have entered the first team. It's obvious that they are a little nervous. However, Wang Lei served as the team's back midfielder in this game, serving as the core of the organization, and has a high accuracy in passing and receiving. He has shown some skills in several long passes and direct passes, but he is a little conservative and not active enough."

"Zhao Jun served as central defender and did not make any mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, but he was careless on the defensive end. Fortunately, Umtiti filled the loophole in time, which was quite satisfactory overall, especially the goal, which played very beautifully and was praised by head coach Zidane after the game."

Beijing Daily also interviewed Gao Han on his way back to Madrid after the game.

"This is their first appearance on behalf of Chinatown. I think it is worth looking forward to having such a performance, but I hope they can be cautious about being arrogant and impetuous. This is just the beginning for them. And they are still young and only seventeen years old. They should continue to work hard to improve themselves, strive to enter the first team as soon as possible, and gain a foothold."

Gao Han also mentioned two other Chinese players, Gao Ren and Yang Xin. He believed that both of them were only sixteen years old and should have played for the team, but unfortunately, due to the restrictions on foreign aid qualifications, it is difficult for the first team to appear this season.

"We are currently actively promoting negotiations between China and Spain, hoping to have a good result and strive to get more Chinese players into the Spanish league. This is a very good opportunity for Spain and Chinese football."

...

Deputy Director Cai was serious and carefully read the entire report, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

There is no doubt that the blueprints drawn by Gao Han once said to him are being fulfilled one by one.

I heard that Gao Han once mentioned to Perrin that as long as the national football team reaches the top 12, this group of youth training players in Chinatown will be able to play for the national team. Perrin had high hopes for this at that time, which should be considered a honeymoon period between Gao Han and Perrin and the Football Association.

But later, everything changed.

Now the whole country is declaring Perrin. The national football team and the Football Association, even he is like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats.

But some things always need to be taken on by someone and work hard to do.

The annual Football Congress is about to come. Perrin's stay or leave will give a clear letter after the Football Congress, but Deputy Director Cai is really concerned about another thing, that is, he hopes to invite Gao Han to the Football Association and serve as the executive committee member.

He had mentioned to Gao Han before that he hoped that Gao Han would join the Football Association first and would coach the national team if he had the chance in the future, but Gao Han refused without thinking about it, because he was not interested in intervening in this muddy waters of the Football Association. He was interested in the head coach of the national team.

However, there is a great resistance to inviting Gao Han to coach, and Deputy Director Cai also argues with reason, but...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, feeling helpless.

In fact, from the moment he decided to become the chairman of the Football Association, he had foreseen that there would be pressure, but what he didn't expect was that the pressure would be so high that he could hardly breathe, and he could hardly bear it.

But no matter what, life has to be done and work has to continue.

Just as Deputy Director Cai had breakfast in a mixed mood, packed his briefcase, and was about to go to work, the phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID was still an unfamiliar phone number.

He hesitated for a moment and immediately connected.

"Hey, hello, Director Cai?"

"Hello, I am."

"I am the pony in the Secretariat."

Pony in the Secretariat?

Deputy Director Cai opened his eyes and shook his hands, and his phone almost fell off.

He knew this person. When he just took office as the Football Association two years ago, the leader pointed his name and encouraged him. Later, this Ma had contacted him and conveyed many instructions from his superiors, including supporting Gao Han and Chinatown work, etc.

But it was the first time I called.

"You...hello, Comrade Xiaoma."

"The leader has a few words to let me convey."

"Oh, okay, you say, you say."

"The chief is very sure of the initiative you have put forward, but he believes that China is a world power, the vision of football reform should be longer-term, and the reform blueprint should be broad-minded, with the goal of building China into a world football power. This process will definitely be hindered by some vested interests, but he hopes that you can forge ahead in an orderly manner."

"Now it is a market economy. We must change our previous concepts, let people who understand the market better enter the Football Association, let more professionals be responsible for the reform of professional fields, and actively learn from coaches with advanced world experience."

Deputy Director Cai listened word by word, carefully and seriously, and at the end, he understood.

"I understand, thank the chief for his instructions." Deputy Director Cai replied seriously.

"The chief has another sentence at the end."

"Please say it."

"He will call the phone himself."

What?

Deputy Director Cai was shocked.

Dear...shot yourself?

He couldn't believe his ears, and even doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

Until he hung up the phone, he was still immersed in the shock, but then he was afraid.

It is obvious that the top leadership is not satisfied with his work in the Football Association and feels it is too conservative, but he can understand the resistance he has suffered so far, so he decided to go from top to bottom and directly intervene.

This is somewhat unruly, but you can also feel the intention of the top leadership.

Four years later, four years later, four years later... How many four years does Chinese football still have?

Now that national fitness has been upgraded to the national strategy, football reform is imminent, and this is just a matter of shortcoming.

As long as the national team's fire can burn, all this will be natural and twice the result with half the effort.

Because of this, the top leadership suddenly decided to intervene.

But it can be seen from the other way around that the chief attaches great importance to Gao Han.

Perrin must be dismissed!

He must handle this matter properly as soon as possible, especially the contract with Perrin.

Although the contract was signed in 2018, he was confident that he could convince Perrin to break up peacefully.

Then the original proposal of Gao Han to join the Football Association as an executive member may have to give up.

It’s not that I can’t serve as the head coach of the national team after serving as the executive committee, but it’s no longer necessary. I believe that the top leadership will have new arrangements for Gao Han, and it’s better if the executive committee member of the Football Association is not appropriate.

What's more, Gao Han himself never took this executive committee seriously.

When he thought of this, Deputy Director Cai suddenly felt relaxed. He was originally pressed on his shoulders, and the heavy pressure became relaxed. The problems that were originally difficult to solve were now solved, and even the reform ideas of the Football Association and Chinese football became clearer and organized again.

…………

Domestic fans are not aware of what is happening in Beijing, and no one even notices the change in the atmosphere at the Football Congress.

All the fans are still immersed in Zhao Jun's historic breakthrough in scoring his first goal in the Cup of Rey.

Chinese football has been in decline for a long time, but Gao Han and his Chinatown are like a breeze, which makes people see hope again.

Wang Lei, Zhao Jun, and the genius Gao Ren, who is limited by foreign aid qualifications but is most valued by Gao Han, and the first batch of players trained by Chinatown have all been praised and praised by domestic fans, and they will all become the hope of Chinese football.

But in a strong contrast, all media and fans have extremely bad impressions of the Football Association and the national football team. Perrin’s call for get out of class is still full of domestic public opinion, and no one can understand it. It is at this point. The Football Association has not fired Perrin. Is this going to keep it for the New Year?

The call for Gao Han to coach the national team is getting stronger and stronger.

If domestic fans are asked to choose a savior of Chinese football, then they will definitely choose Gao Han without hesitation.

But with the convening of the Football Congress, they clearly felt the change in the atmosphere.

Originally, someone from the Football Association proposed to invite Gao Han as the Football Association executive member, but gradually, such calls disappeared.

This once again caused protests and dissatisfaction among domestic fans.

Could it be that the Football Association really doesn’t like Gao Han?

Could it be that as the best and top head coach in the world, Gao Han is not worthy of serving in the Football Association?

The public opinion field was filled with emotions, and everyone's emotions were approaching a critical point.

And the media journalists who are at the center of the storm, with the keenest sense of smell,
Chapter completed!
