Chapter 31 Japanese Football

Chapter 31 Japanese Football

The mysterious woman who suddenly appeared beside Digan attracted the attention of many people. Since Digan broke up with Irina, no woman has appeared by his side again.

Even the tabloids said in a joking tone: Degan's sexual orientation has deviated now after suffering a blow because of Irina's affairs.

The reporter was unable to take a frontal photo of the woman who met Digan, but it could be seen that she was an Asian woman.

Could it be the Korean girl that Digan gave the gold medal at the Olympics?

People were suddenly excited. The power of the media has always been supernatural. The scene that happened at the Olympic Games and the identity of Park Ji-yeon had already been investigated by them.

Although I don't know why Deegan and Park Ji-yeon, two seemingly unconnected people, have friendship, but it is said that Park Ji-yeon is also an artist, and of course they are called trainees in Korea.

The combination of football stars and show stars has always been a common thing. Deegan's previous girlfriends, whether it was Belen, Avril Lavigne or Irina, were all from the entertainment industry.

Now that Digan is once again connected with women in the entertainment industry, can there be less news?

It's just that Park Ji-yeon seems to be a little younger!

Born in 1993, and now only 15 years old, this ~~~~~~~~ Digan is too beastly! ?

Of course Digan also knew that the meeting between him and Park Ji-yeon was photographed by reporters. He didn't want to explain anything about it. Instead, Kaka, who was far away in Italy, called and asked. From Kaka's tone, Digan Gan can feel that if he really has a relationship with Park Zhiyan, the attitude of his family, to be precise, his parents, Bosque and Simone's attitude are obviously opposed.

Digan didn't explain either, he just said he would take care of it!

Everyone loves gossip news, especially a big star like Degan, but the Club World Cup is more eye-catching or the game itself. Now all the top four teams have been produced, namely the Champions League champion Fiorentina, the Copa Libertadores champion Base Multi-Sports University Football Club, CONCACAF Champions Pachuca, and AFC Champions Gamba Osaka.

Among the four teams, Fiorentina is undoubtedly the strongest. As last season's Triple Crown champions, their overall strength is definitely not comparable to the other three teams. They will face in the semi-finals The host, AFC champion Gamba Osaka.

Gamba Osaka entered the semi-finals after defeating Adelaide United, the runner-up of the AFC Champions League. opponent.

In terms of overall strength, Gamba Osaka seems to be the weakest of the four teams. There is no way, the level of Asian football, not to mention compared with Europe and South America, even North America, Africa is far ahead of Asian football many.

However, it seems that there is no suspense in this game, but the Japanese don't think so. With the development of Japanese football in the past few years, a large number of Japanese players have also begun to appear in the five major European leagues. It is increasing day by day, and this kind of self-confidence has almost reached the point of swelling.

When the semi-final match came out, some Japanese media began to tout the strength of the Gamba Osaka team. Some Japanese football stars even publicly stated that it is not impossible to beat Florence in the semi-final. As long as they can overcome the difficulty of Florence, Gamba Osaka will win the final championship.

"Perhaps Fiorentina represents the highest level of European football, but the strength of Gamba Osaka may not be able to defeat Fiorentina. A football game is not only a competition of skills, but also many factors, such as willpower. In this regard, Japan Players, obviously surpassing Fiorentina players!"

"Degan is the most threatening player in Fiorentina, but Satoshi Nakazawa and Tomomo Yamaguchi have the strength to compete with him. We hope to see such a scene in the game. Degan is busy under the defense of Satoshi Nakazawa and Tomo Yamaguchi Inaction!"

The so-called Satoshi Nakazawa and Satoshi Yamaguchi are the central defender combination of Gamba Osaka, and they were also selected as the best team of the AFC Champions League last season.

"Japanese football's world championship dream will come true in this Club World Cup!"

To this, Fiorentina captain Degan responded: "I think it is more reliable to realize the Japanese football championship dream in comics. The real football game depends on the strength. I think the Japanese can't help it now." Create a big empty wing out of thin air!"

The comic that Digan mentioned is Captain Tsubasa. Many people have read this comic. Is it a fantasy that a comic story can completely change the level of football in a country?

Today, Japan has become an Asian football power that cannot be ignored. Of course, it is not because of Takahashi Yoichi's "Captain Tsubasa", but think about this comic book that many people have come into contact with when they were young. Think about Tsubasa Oozora, Wakabayashi Their stories, their football dreams and lives, and the development trajectory of Japanese football in the past two decades do have an amazing overlap.

This manga story, Takahashi's earliest creation, was drawn from 1980 to 1988. It was still a dark period for Japanese football. In Asia, not to mention South Korea and Iran, even China's football level can stabilize Japan. 1987 In the 2008 Olympic qualifiers, the Japanese team was crushed by Liu Haiguang and Tang Yaodong's two headers and lost to China, so they were unable to participate in the Seoul Olympics.

It can be said that the comic "Captain Tsubasa" has indeed influenced a generation of Japanese, and also inspired a generation of Japanese football players. Perhaps it is not only Japanese, but many people in China, Europe and the United States are keen on it. Aguero's nickname is "Kun", which is the name of Tsubasa Ozora in the South American version of "Captain Tsubasa". These two No. 10s, who can say that they are not in the same line?

Not to mention Hidetoshi Nakata, he is a typical example of Da Sora Tsubasa. He was determined at a young age, got a lot of help, studied in Brazil, and became famous in Europe.

Degan can indeed despise Japanese football. Whether it is because of the soul of a Chinese or because of the strength of Florence, he has the right to ignore Japanese football.

But at the same time, Degan also has to admit that Japanese football has made great progress in recent years. Perhaps this is the characteristic of Japanese people. To be accurate in every detail, it is better to work stupidly than to take shortcuts.

In the world, if you are afraid, you are afraid of the word serious. Counting from the end of the nineteenth century, when Japanese higher normal schools began to play football, Japanese football has gone through a history of more than 100 years.

From the book "The Meiji Restoration of Japanese Football", we can see the ups and downs of their "learning from foreigners". Over the years, they have successively invited German coach Kramer, Dutch coach Offutt, Brazilian coach Falcao, France coach Troussier, Brazil coach Zico.

Japanese football has learned the essence from various genres through this continuous introduction. Kramer taught the Japanese how to lay a good foundation, Offutt brought the advanced concept of total football, and Troussier Although the coaching method is "brutal", he stimulated Japanese players to abandon their restrained national character and play more ostentatious football on the field. Zico brought "freedom" and "creation".

Every accumulation of progress is helping Japanese football continue to move forward. It is easy to say and stubborn to choose the good, but it is difficult to determine what is "good".

The attitude of Japanese football in terms of learning is related to culture. Since you think you are strong, then put down your body and practice discipleship seriously.

From this point of view, Japanese football is far more patient than Chinese football. The famous Premier League coach Arsene Wenger once left an anecdote when he coached the Nagoya Grampus Eight. At the beginning, he led the team without winning eight consecutive games. A humiliating score of 4, but the directors of the club did not feel that he was a "parallel importer", and even sent someone to accompany Wenger to have a drink every day. In the end, Wenger's performance in leading the team was obvious to all.

Respect is always mutual. These foreign coaches enjoy respect in Japan, and naturally treat them wholeheartedly, give them all they have, and value for money.

Kramer, who made great contributions to the establishment of Japanese football grass, later led Bayern to win two Champions Cups and one Intercontinental Cup, but when he recalled the happiest moment in his life, he chose "the Japanese team won the bronze medal in the Mexico Olympics." the moment."

What about Chinese football?

Every time they are first invited with a lot of money, and then sent away like a plague god, the latecomers will not be disappointed. In the Chinese football circle, it is often seen that Chinese players "don't care" about foreign coaches, and the media colleagues often pass on some players. I think that "Actually, a certain foreign coach has nothing to do with it", "The Chinese team can still play so well in Brazil", "It's all the referee's fault, otherwise the Chinese team would never lose like this".

Extreme low self-esteem manifests itself in the form of overconfidence, as if thinking that if you study modestly, you will lose face as a big-name professional player.

The Japanese are also confident, just as they now publicly declare that they want to defeat Florence and win the Club World Cup. There is such a passage in the 2005 manifesto of the Japan Football Association: In 2015, the Japanese men's national team will enter the top ten in the world. , the Japanese men's national football team will win the World Cup.

Such slogans are filled in every corner of Japanese football. In the eyes of the Japanese, lofty and lofty ideals are indispensable for everything.

When you lift the veil of Japanese football history, you will find that they have also had pain and gray years. At the bleakest time, Japanese football chose to stick to ideals and work hard. After more than 20 years of hard work, it finally achieved today's success. Just like the characteristics of this country and nation, Japanese footballers will design a dream and plan for everything they do, and then go on firmly in accordance with the established goals, without wavering or repeating, until they succeed. This is the key to the success of Japanese football factor.

During the downturn of Japanese football, they did not sink, but chose to vigorously develop school football and grassroots football. In this way, they used decades of time to achieve the popularization of football, so that more young people and children can play football. Fall in love with the sport.

At that time, the Japanese education department had included football in the physical education class, which also played a role in promoting the development of Japanese football. Today, Japan's famous high school league has more than 4,000 teams participating.

In addition to education at the school, football fans also participate in the school's extracurricular football training classes. Each student has to pay 5,000 yen per month, which is about 400 yuan in RMB. In other words, everyone in Japan can play football.

During the five hours from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm every day, football stadiums large and small in Japan will present lively scenes. Whether it is an indoor or outdoor football field, full of children playing football, this lifestyle has prevailed across the country.

Moreover, Japan trains players and fans together. They will not reject children with poor football talent. They will also like football and maintain football when they grow up.

And shut him out as a kid, and he won't be interested in football when he grows up. Whether it is a professional player or an ordinary fan, after being recognized, they can conduct free training in the club echelon.

In order to create a good football environment for Japanese young players, the Japan Football Association attaches great importance to the influence of the J-League on young players.

When outstanding foreign players in the J-League retire, the Japanese Football Association gives them the most favorable treatment, allowing them to stay in Japan to guide youth training, so that young players can better imitate and learn skills.

The Japan Football Association Technical Committee will also send high-level coaches to various regions to coach local coaches and improve the level of grassroots coaches.

Although there are many students participating in football, the development of Japanese football strictly follows a principle: first ensure their studies, and then develop their careers.

According to regulations, Japanese college players must graduate before entering a professional team to become a professional player. This training model is completely different from China's "play football first, then study".

This rigid rule, to a certain extent, ensures the cultural quality and starting point of career development of Japanese players. The mature and complete campus football program has opened up a new path for Japanese football.

In China, it has become a common phenomenon for athletes to rely on universities to study, but in Japan, the situation is just the opposite.

It is worth mentioning that in Japan, if you learn football at school, you hardly need to pay extra money, which makes this sport widely promoted.

In addition, in order to better popularize football among various departments, the Japan Football Association plans to engage in "greening projects" in the future. In the next five or six years, more than 2,000 schools across Japan will have their own green lawn football fields.

In 2002, Japan and South Korea hosted the World Cup together, and Japanese football took another step forward. The World Cup brought them advanced football fields, and the game conditions and hardware facilities have undergone great changes. In addition, the previous professional league , The football environment is getting better and better.

The composition of Japan's various football clubs mostly relies on regional support and has many shareholders rather than a monopoly. For example, FC Tokyo's funds come from the investment of 370 shareholders. Some teams even have government shares, so that players who represent the club will not feel lazy.

In China, when it comes to players studying abroad, people will hear things like "Jun Zhu disdains selling Wang Dalei for 800,000 euros". Chinese clubs always set a high threshold for players to study abroad. This not only makes players lose opportunities, but also affects Chinese football. The overall level.

Japan's football practice is completely opposite to that of China. In 1994, the then Asian footballer Zhiliang Miura joined the Genoa team in Serie A and became the first Japanese player to land in Serie A.

But in fact, Genoa is not interested in Miura. In order to facilitate his study abroad, the Japanese Football Association did not hesitate to contact Japanese companies to pay high "sponsorship fees".

Chinese football learned from Brazil and Germany in the early years. Chinese football will always only have a 5-year plan, which is similar to the length of the term of a football association leader.

But what about Japan?

They only made one plan, that is, the ambitious "100-year plan". From the very beginning, they started from their own conditions and learned from Brazil to take the technical route.

The ultimate goal of this plan is to let the Japanese team win the World Cup in 2050. Although this goal is still far away, the current Japanese men's football team can already stand on the international stage as a strong player, although in terms of physical condition, it cannot compete with Europe. Among the countries, the technology is not as strong as that of South America, but Japan is already a force that cannot be ignored in the international football world by virtue of its comprehensive quality of steady and steady play.

There is a Chinese soul in Degan's body, mourning his misfortune and angering him, which is Degan's attitude towards Chinese football. Similarly, Degan does not need to hide his envy of the Japanese football system and strength.

Degan is really jealous. Think about Chinese football, and then look at Japanese football. The gap is getting bigger and bigger. What Degan can do, he can only show his fragile self-confidence with a feeling of inferiority, and then in football To teach that Gamba Osaka a tough lesson on the field is also a way to vent my grievances for myself.

"Having self-confidence is a good thing, but a football game depends on strength. No matter how nicely you say it, there is no way to change the strength gap between the two teams! Regarding the game, I think 5:0 is a very reasonable result !"

5:0!

Obviously Degan didn't intend to lose 5:0 in front of the Japanese. When Degan's remarks were published by the Japanese media, it immediately caused an uproar among the Japanese people.

"What a guy without grace!" Gamba Osaka's core player Yasuhito Endo angrily refuted Degan's remarks in an interview, "Degan is indeed outstanding, but he doesn't understand Japanese football. On the field, we will let him see the spiritual power of Japanese football!"

mental strength! ?

What is that, Digan obviously dismissed the new term invented by the little Japanese: "I'm really looking forward to it!"
