Chapter 189 Private Complaints and Cooperation

"In the next period of time, we will train together. You are all the best players in the 89-year-old group in China, otherwise you will not be selected for this training camp." In the first training camp, Ding Yu made an opening statement: "I think everyone should have known each other a few years ago, because the players selected this time are all players who have played in the domestic football school echelon invitational tournament in previous years, and they have basically played against each other. Many players are still playing in Europe, which in itself has proved your ability. Being selected this time is also a proof of your personal ability. Many of you will become the pillars of the national team in the future.

The 32 players stood up straight in front of him, with pride and pride written on their young faces—they were indeed worthy of pride. Many of them started to make their mark in the professional league at the age of 17, and playing in Europe was a goal that many Chinese players could not achieve in their entire lives—from this standard, they were all the elite among Chinese players, the elite among the elite.

"In terms of personal ability, there are basically no players of the same age in China who can surpass you, but for you, your career has just begun. In the future, you will encounter setbacks, failures and disappointments. There will also be people of the same age who are not as good as you now but will be able to surpass your peers through your own efforts in the future. To avoid this, you have to continue to work hard. Life is not over. As a player, you cannot stand still before you retire. This training camp will also be an important moment in your life Competition. There are 32 people on the big list, and only eighteen can be selected to participate in the World Junior Championships. In the next month, I will decide whether you can appear in Korea based on the state and ability you have shown in training. The only thing I can guarantee is that I will choose you absolutely fairly.” Ding Yu swept his eyes towards the crowd: “As we all know, before becoming the head coach of the National Youth Team, I was the head coach of the Yunjia Tianyu echelon. Nine of you used to be my disciples, but for me, this level Relationship does not determine anything, the only thing that can be determined is your state and level. I will not choose the nine of you just because they are close to each other, nor will I give up on them just to pretend to be fair. Attitude, state and ability determine everything, that’s all.”

The expressions of the players did not change. They knew this very well. However, after Long Bisheng and the others left Yunjiatianyu for Europe, Ding Yu only selected two players from Yunjiatianyu's 89-year-old echelon in the selection. It can be seen that he did not choose them because he was more familiar with Yunjiatianyu's players.

"There are 32 people, choose 30, which means that nearly half of you will leave the National Youth Team and return to your own club in a month. This is inevitable, but what I want to tell you is that this training session for the World Junior Championships is only the beginning of your national team career.

Ding Yu ended his speech with a smile on his face. His purpose is very clear. I need to see your efforts. Your goal is not just to participate in this World Junior Championship. If you want to get more opportunities in the future, then, show your best side in every training session.

************************************************

32 players were selected from 18 players. The elimination rate is quite brutal. What’s more, these 32 players are all well-deserved elites in the 89 age group. The ten players who played in Europe have basically become the main players in their respective teams. The team has played the main force, and at least has had the opportunity to play. The national youth team is composed of players with professional league experience. This is unique in the history of Chinese football.

With this group of players, Ding Yu is even confident that the team's performance will surpass the best record in the quarter-finals of the first China Junior World Championship in 85, even though the number of participants in this World Junior Championship has reached an unprecedented 24 teams.

But on the sixth day after the team was concentrated, when the grouping situation of the World Junior Championship came out, Ding Yu felt that his luck was really bad.

The Chinese team was divided into Group C. There was a European team, a South American team, and a Central and North American team in the same group. The grouping of the World Junior Championships was basically the same, and it was not a big deal to be grouped with such three teams. However, if the European team was Spain and the South American team was Argentina, then any team would feel that they were out of luck.

Although there is also a team from Honduras from Central and North America in the group, this group can be regarded as a standard group of death. Apart from Group B with England, Brazil, North Korea and New Zealand, the competition in this group is probably the most intense.

If it weren't for the rules of qualifying for the top two and No.3 with the best four results in the World Junior Championships, this group has basically sentenced the Chinese team to death. After all, Spain has emerged a lot of young talents this year, such as Barcelona's Bo Yang, and Argentina?Winning the championship for the sixth time in the finals of the World Youth Championship that ended two days ago has already proved the level of the country's young players-it may be no less difficult to get a group qualifying place from these two teams than to win the championship.

The most important thing is that, being assigned to such a group, even if the Chinese team can qualify from the group, the ranking will definitely not be much better, and they will also encounter strong teams from other groups. How far can the Chinese team, which has already tried its best in the group stage, go?

Fortunately, the Football Association comforted Ding Yu after seeing this grouping - this competition does not require results, the only requirement is to play out its own characteristics and level.

After putting down the phone, Ding Yu was still a little frowning - calling out the characteristics and level, which itself is a very broad definition, what kind of characteristics?What kind of level is called level?However, one thing Ding Yu knows very well is that the current national youth team can do something in the world in terms of strength, but he prefers to let the players have the opportunity to show themselves instead of putting results first.

In this one month, Ding Yu can completely build this team into an excellent team as a whole, but that is based on killing their individuality. In fact, in the past, the performance of Chinese youth teams has been quite good. If adults as a whole play against a relatively loose youth team, the results will naturally be good (of course, the reason is not excluded). From the training in the past few days, it can be seen that their understanding of football and their ability to read the game have already surpassed those of domestic players, so if they build a team with strong overall coordination ability, the results may be better, but Ding Yu thinks it is a pity - he hopes that among these players, there will be more players who play in Europe, even if there is only one more.

After thinking about this, Ding Yu made up his mind. In the next half month, he did not conduct any special tactical training, but just let the players increase the tacit understanding with each other. The tacit understanding of the players who had played in an echelon before was naturally restored quickly. What Ding Yu has to do next is to increase the tacit understanding of the players who are not from the same team, at least let them gradually become familiar with each other.

Ding Yu used the method of disrupting all the players before playing. For example, Hu Gandang and Fan Pengfei, who hated each other, were divided into the same team several times. In the usual two-person passing training, he always put these players who had a little bit of grievance together.

"As a professional player, you can't expect the players around you to be like-minded friends. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there will be conflicts. Any player who does not cooperate with his teammates in training and games because of personal grievances will not be liked by any coach." After reprimanding Hu Gandang and Fan Pengfei once, Ding Yu said to all the players: "Not only in my team, but in your respective clubs, you must also learn a little bit. It is normal, the game is the game, pay attention to you. It’s a professional player, the word “professional” is not so easy to use.”

Seeing that Hu Gandang, Ding Yu’s absolute descendant, was also criticized by Ding Yu, no one of the players dared to bring personal grievances to the training in the next training. The training went smoothly, and the days passed. Finally, Ding Yu and his team were about to leave for South Korea.
