Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

No one knows how long this disbandment of the mainland football league will last, but judging from their determination, it is not impossible for this painful process to last for three to five years.

Some even suggested a ten-year timeframe.

Initially, some media outlets tried to argue that such a blanket approach was too drastic and would destroy the entire industry.

However, Dongqiudi immediately refuted this, stating: "Currently, there are fewer than 5,000 professional players in my country, and the total number of registered professional and amateur players is less than 40,000."

"Considering the number of people involved, the football industry is quite small."

"But such a small scale has affected nearly 100 billion yuan in capital flow, which is extremely abnormal. This is not football, this is barbaric betting in the name of football, which is absolutely not allowed and should have been banned long ago."

"As for actual players and related professionals, they can still engage in amateur football activities. At the same time, we also suggest that players with professional skills develop in the direction of coaching."

"my country currently faces a huge shortage of youth training coaches, professional coaches, and competition-level coaches. Even if all these players were to become coaches, it still wouldn't be enough to meet future needs."

"Our companies, Dongqiudi and Sporting Lisbon, have at least a thousand job opportunities in their various youth training schools across the country. This doesn't even include customized professions such as elite football education, advanced football training, and top-tier private football coaching."

"Based on our forecast of the economic situation and our understanding of the current salary levels of mainland players, the income of players who switch careers will increase by at least 50% to 300%."

"Of course, this can't compare to the profits from match-fixing or gambling. But we believe that from this moment on, there will never be such a way to make money in mainland China again."

"And that's what makes a truly healthy football industry."

The article even included a contact number for recruitment by the "Joint Academy of Sporting Lisbon Regional Division".

When it comes to hiring, Dongqiudi is serious.

If the recruitment goes well, they even plan to create a "58.com" page specifically for posting recruitment ads—or rather, job postings for guys.

The football storm originating in China has brought tremendous shock to the football industry and organizations around the world.

This unparalleled execution capability is a unique advantage of China.

European countries may have the will, but they lack the power; often they can only watch themselves fester and stink.

But this was a shock to a small number of people in the industry.

For 99 percent of football fans worldwide, this is just a piece of news that might surprise them slightly.

It was far less eye-catching than the news that the French, Argentinian, and Portuguese teams were eliminated in the group stage.

Zidane, who had just suffered a defeat in the Champions League final, has been dealt another heavy blow in a short period of time.

France suffered one draw and two losses in the group stage, resulting in a humiliating exit from the competition.

Although Zidane missed the first two games due to injury, he was still unable to help the team turn the tide in the third crucial match.

Zidane expressed deep remorse: "We never imagined we would fail to advance from the group stage, and all the players are extremely disappointed."

"We were very unlucky. We created a lot of good chances, but we just couldn't score... If we had scored a goal in three games, the situation would have been very different."

When asked whether France's decision to field Zidane despite his injury was an attempt to turn the tide for the team through his individual ability, Zidane replied, "I'm afraid every player on our team has that ability, but none of us were able to do it. It's really strange."

"In the end, this result is indeed hard to accept, but it's not the end of the world. We should forget today's defeat and start again... At least, the French team hasn't reached the point where we need to disband the team and cure football."

At Deng Kai's suggestion, Maxi watched Zidane's interviews repeatedly and took notes.

A sense of "disappointment" was the first thing that set the tone.

This term is used by superiors to address subordinates.

The person who is disappointed must have done something wrong.

The person who was disappointed was not wrong.

Therefore, Zidane is not guilty of France's elimination.

"We created a lot of chances, but failed to score." It sounds like Zidane is talking about his own long-range shots that failed to go in, but... who created the chances?

Midfield.

What position does Zidane play?

Midfield.

Who should break down the door?

forward!

See, hasn't this absolved himself of responsibility again?

"Every player has the ability to turn the game around" may seem like a compliment to a teammate, but it's actually about sharing the responsibility.

It means that the situation couldn't be reversed. You can't say I didn't contribute; it's that everyone failed to contribute.

Finally, the conversation touched on an event in mainland Chinese football, which, while diverting attention, also conveyed the message that mainland Chinese football is so bad that it needs a thorough overhaul, while French football is still going strong, and we hope everyone can be more tolerant.

A typical example is that when you feel that life is difficult, looking at those who are having an even harder time will make you feel much better.

Maksa benefited greatly from this interview.

Similarly, after Argentina, the pre-tournament favorite to win the championship, was eliminated, several players also came forward to express their opinions.

Intentionally or unintentionally, they are drawing parallels between Argentine football and mainland Chinese football.

This Argentine team, boasting a star-studded lineup including Burgos, Caballero, Pochettino, Musael, Almeida, Zanetti, Veron, Simeone, Elma, Batistuta, Crespo, and Caniggia, relieved at least half of the pressure on the French team.

Finally, Portugal, boasting a golden generation, has achieved the same status as France and Argentina by being eliminated in the group stage, following a series of high-profile events such as refusing to call up Deng Kai and adding Cristiano Ronaldo.

They suffered a shock defeat to the United States in the first round.

After conceding three goals in the first 36 minutes, fans were furious and argued that it would have been better to bring on Fonte instead of these two sleepwalking center-backs!

In the second round, Portugal seemed to have found their form, defeating Poland 4-0.

Among them, center forward Pauleta scored a hat-trick of goals and was substituted by young player Cristiano Ronaldo during garbage time.

Cristiano Ronaldo then received a pass from Rui Costa and scored, netting his first goal in his World Cup debut!

However, in the third match, the South Korean team defeated the Portuguese team with the help of biased refereeing at home.

After the match, Figo was moved to tears.

Ruyin Costa could not hide his grief.

Young Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes were red, and he kept shaking his head, clearly very dissatisfied with this World Cup journey.

At this point, more than half of the Portuguese golden generation knew that their national team journey had come to an end.

The glory of the golden generation has begun to fade.

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
