1. Xu Genbao: We are determined to qualify!
Quotation background: Xu Genbao, who served as the head coach of the Chinese team from 1991 to 1992, carries the Chinese people’s dream for Chinese football to compete in the Barcelona Olympics. Since Wang Junsheng had just been elected as the chairman of the Chinese Football Association not long ago, he was very concerned about qualifying. In front of Wang Junsheng, Xu Genbao expressed his determination to lead the team: "We are determined to qualify!"
However, in this Olympic qualifier, the top six of Asia's top five, 2 -Win Japan 1, lose Qatar 0-1, beat Bahrain 3-0, beat Kuwait 1-0, and you can qualify if you draw the last game. But on January 30, 1992, the tragedy of the "nine black minutes" in Chinese football history was born. The Chinese team was scored 3 goals in a row by its opponents in the first 9 minutes, and eventually lost 1-3 to South Korea, which caused "Korean phobia". Comment: Xu Genbao’s vow to “make a determined effort to qualify” can never cover up the black nine minutes of shame that the Koreans brought to Chinese football.
2. Qi Wusheng: I am a national cadre!
Quotation background: After Shi Jiajun failed to hit the World Cup in the United States, Qi Wusheng took over Uncle Shi's gun and took on the important task of hitting the World Cup in France. As the longest-serving coach of the national football team in the 1990s, Qi Wusheng was very dedicated and recruited a group of national teams that could be called the strongest in history. However, in the top ten competition, with the qualifying situation looking very good, on October 31, 1997, in Dalian Golden State, they lost to Qatar 2:3 for three black minutes, and finally lost the hope of entering the World Cup. Since then, criticisms of Qi Wusheng have been overwhelming, especially calls for him to be dismissed from get out of class. Qi Wusheng, whose tears had dried up, finally said the famous saying "I am a state cadre!" when faced with the media's questioning.
Comments: "I am a state cadre." Qi Wusheng's implication seems to be: Since I am a state cadre, I naturally have to obey the state's distribution. Neither the media nor the fans can influence me. Stay and stay and future. However, it was precisely because it was difficult to withstand the fierce pursuit from the media and fans that Qi Wusheng still wisely handed over the military power of the national team.
3. Milu: Attitude determines everything!
Quotation background: In 2000, Milu came to China with a magical aura. He was cunning, intellectual, straightforward, and popular with women, which seemed to be Milu's label outside of football. However, in football, Milu did have some real skills. In response to the phenomenon of some big-name players abandoning big names, he put forward the golden rule "attitude determines everything." As soon as this statement was made, it became popular in Chinese football. And Milu actually created a miracle, leading the Chinese team to the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan.
Comment: "Attitude is everything" did not help the Chinese team continue to advance into Germany, nor did it help the Chinese team go further in the top 20 Asian World Cup in South Africa. This does not mean that Milu's words are wrong, but it may not apply to the Chinese team after Milu.
4. Li Jinyu: I am the best player in Asia!
Background of famous quote: At the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Li Jinyu stole the show. He was an absolute big feather. His signature celebration of bending his bow and arrow to shoot the big eagle attracted many female fans to be intoxicated. Since then, Li Jinyu has been playing in the A-level arena again, scoring goals frequently. Li Jinyu, who is intoxicated with the victory in the Super League, feels very good about himself. In the warm-up match before the top nine, after the Chinese team defeated the Kuwait Olympic team, Li Jinyu came to this conclusion: I am the best player in Asia!
Comment: If Iran, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and South Korea do not belong to Asia, and if countries such as Iraq, Qatar, Yemen, and Bahrain can also be excluded from Asia, then Li Jinyu is undoubtedly the best player in Asia.
5. Yan Shiduo: We will lose slightly to Brazil, tie with Turkey, beat Costa Rica, and qualify as second in the group!
Quotation background: In 2001, under the leadership of Milu, Chinese football reached the World Cup finals in a historic way. How will the Chinese national team position itself in the 2002 World Cup and what results will it achieve? Yan Shiduo, who was the full-time vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association at the time, vowed: We will beat Costa Rica, tie with Turkey, slightly lose to Brazil, and advance to the top 16 of the World Cup as the second place in the group. This was the most famous qualifying theory of "win a game, score a goal" at the time.
Comment: In the end, even with the amazing coach Milu’s “attitude is everything”, the Chinese national team not only failed to advance to the top 16 of the World Cup, but also lost nine goals in the three group matches. And not a single goal was scored.
6. Zhu Guanghu: Chinese football needs a "mad dog spirit"!
Quotation background: Zhu Guanghu took over the rusty gun of the national football team from Ali Han. The high school entrance examination was the 2007 Asian Cup, and the big test was qualifying for the 2010 South Africa World Cup. In less than three years of coaching, Zhu Guanghu carefully refined many of his own famous sayings in order to encourage the national football team to play well, and the most representative one is: Chinese football needs a "mad dog spirit"!
Comments: Dogs are not crazy, people are crazy first. Zhu Guanghu's Asian Cup ended dismally. Before he could use his "mad dog spirit" to compete in the World Cup preliminaries, the national football coach was handed over to Folado and Duy in advance.
7. Li Chengpeng: After watching "Lust, Caution", I know that women are unreliable, after watching "The Letter of Enemy", I know that brothers are unreliable, and after watching Chinese Football in 2007, I know that God is also unreliable.
Quotation background: Since the only time it reached the World Cup in 2002, Chinese football has fallen into lukewarm water, half dead, dead but not dead, dead but not dead. In 2007, Chinese football failed on three fronts, from the national football team to the Olympics and then to the women's football team. At the end of the year, the Chinese team was drawn into the same group as Australia, Qatar, and Iraq to compete in the top 20 of the World Preliminaries. Li Chengpeng reluctantly wrote the above classic quote in his blog.
Comment: After reading Li Dayan’s blog, I know that none of the Chinese football critics are reliable.
8. Li Weifeng: We do work very hard, but opportunities are often not reserved for those who work hard.
Background of the famous quote: After losing the second card battle on June 7, facing the microphone handed over by a CCTV reporter, the veteran Chinese player Li Weifeng said a lot of words of grievance with tears in his eyes. Finally, One sentence is the new famous saying mentioned above.
Comment: "Opportunity always favors those who are prepared." This is such a philosophical statement. But Datou learned and applied these words vividly and turned them into his own famous sayings, which made people laugh. Let me ask the international players: Have you really worked very hard? !
9. Duy: We are still alive!
Quotation background: The defeat in the mid-card battle cast a strong aura of "death" on the national football team's qualification for the World Cup. After Iraq's upset victory over Australia, Duy, who was already livid, actually became lively again. At 5:30 pm on June 8, the National Football Team started its first training session after the China-Card Battle in the outfield of the Olympic Sports Center. Duy said that after the Iraqi team defeated the Australian team, the situation of the Chinese team was not completely hopeless. "We are still alive!" This statement shocked everyone.
Comment: Yes, theoretically speaking, the national football team is not dead in the true sense, but is indeed alive. But facing the Iraqi and Australian Kangaroos, which are more ferocious than Qatar, how do you want the national football team to survive?
10. Xie Yalong: Even if you die, you must have momentum!
Quote background: In fact, Xie Yalong, the full-time vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, has published his own famous quotes more than once. During the 2007 Asian Cup finals, he quoted classic ancient poems and modern anti-Japanese poems to inspire and encourage Players of the Chinese team.
Just after the Chinese team lost to Qatar at home on June 7, 2008, the football leader once again quoted Premier Zhou's "life and death attitude" to encourage everyone to play the best two games: you have to have a choice in death. We have to choose a way that everyone respects. We still have two games. We hope that everyone will play in style and morale. Even if we are out, we must have a performance that is honorable even if we lose. In other words, even if we die, we will still win. Die with vigor!
