Wang Xiaodong's reputation in the Premier League has become "stinky" again. Although he has received forgiveness from Lampard himself, he still cannot bet on the fans' mouths.

Fans write letters to the FA every day, and the media in London have placed spies around Wang Xiaodong. As a result, Wang Xiaodong has to drive around several times when he returns home from training every day.

Of course, Wang Xiaodong is not the kind of person who cares about these "false reputations".

Just like in Southampton last season, once the League Cup was won, all the voices of opposition and doubt disappeared instantly, leaving only the fans' praise for Wang Xiaodong.

The same goes for White Hart Lane.

At least our fans will stand up to support Wang Xiaodong and sing praises for Wang Xiaodong. This is enough.

I'm not money, so I can't be liked by everyone.

You fans of other teams, just watch with envy!

Just like the national team.

News just came from India that the National Youth Team was eliminated by Jordan 2-1 in the quarter-finals and will miss the World Youth Championship next year.

As soon as the news came out, domestic public opinion was in an uproar.

According to the tradition of the Asian Youth Championship, as long as you advance to the top four, you can qualify for the World Youth Championship. The strength of this national youth team is pretty good, and they were favored by all parties before the game. Why did they pull their hips so hard during the game?

From the fans' point of view, this team has to finish in the top four at the end, and then see what they can do in next year's senior youth tournament. It doesn't matter even if they can't make it out of the group.

But now they have been eliminated in the Asian Youth Championship. Compared with the last 2005 National Youth Championship, is this too far behind?

For a time, the domestic media all pointed their guns at the head coach's fake punching. Even when the National Youth League got off the plane, some reporters couldn't wait to ask for their "feelings."

Thoughts?

What can I think?

Just hold your breath!

Fake Xiuquan had a sullen face, as if someone owed him eight million.

"This failure was not a crime of war."

"Our tactics have been set up well enough, but many players are absent-minded when they get on the court..."

After complaining for thousands of words, the media nodded and wrote the headline: "India was eliminated from the National Youth League, and the head coach blamed the poor performance of the players."

This is not the first time that Fake Xiuquan has detailed the faults of its players in front of the public media. During the Suibo incident in 1998, it was this "upright" former international player who made an unknown A-B player appear on the national stage. "Hot search".

This time, the fake coach doesn’t seem to have enough.

Even in international competitions like the Asian Youth Championship, he still has excuses that belong only to him.

While the fans were denouncing the National Youth League, I don't know who said something: "Since the fake coach said that the players are not good enough, if Wang Xiaodong also returned to China to play football, would the result still be today?"

The issue once again aroused nationwide discussion.

World Football almost always selects excerpts of Wang Xiaodong’s performance in the past week and makes a 3-minute short video for everyone. Even if Wang Xiaodong is suspended or there is no data about Wang Xiaodong in the game, Tianzu will excerpt some London gossip news and introduce Wang Xiaodong's life situation.

So although most fans can't watch the Premier League, there are already many fans who have fallen in love with Tottenham because of Wang Xiaodong.

Especially at this juncture, Tottenham has unseated the leader Chelsea. Wang Xiaodong fought one against four in the midfield, and his brave and capable figure has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Just watching the clips edited by Tianzu makes the male compatriots excited. Especially seeing Wang Xiaodong still insisting on playing even though his hands were wrapped in gauze, the fans gave him a heartfelt thumbs up.

If such a tough midfielder plays for the National Youth Team, will a small team like Jordan still become an obstacle to the National Youth Team?

The answer is obviously: NO.

This led to the second discussion among fans: why Wang Xiaodong should not be recalled to the team.

How many times did the Football Association recruit Wang Xiaodong?

Did you give up after just one time?

Or was Wang Xiaodong rejected every time?

What's the secret relationship between the Football Association and Wang Xiaodong? Or what kind of agreement does the two have?

Why don't you even participate in the national team's games even though you are of the right age?

Fans in this era are still very simple, and the lifelong goal of some sports people is to serve the country.

But football is not like other sports. The World Cup, the world's number one sport, even attracts more attention than the quadrennial Olympic Games in some aspects.

For a time, fans were divided into two groups.

One group supports Wang Xiaodong to continue his studies in the Premier League and not to be disturbed by "small competitions" like the Asian Youth Championship. Just like General Fan back then, he didn't even go to Liverpool for the national team. Later results also proved that with the strength of the Crystal Palace captain, he really couldn't bring much change to the team. Therefore, Wang Xiaodong should stay at Tottenham and wait until the real international competition to come back.

The opposition took it for granted. In the eyes of these staid fans, Wang Xiaodong should not refuse the call-up no matter what. After all, for Chinese football, even the Asian Youth Championship was "disregarded" because he was not qualified.

At this moment, negative news about Wang Xiaodong was once again overwhelming.

The Football Association took advantage of Wang Xiaodong's "little tail" just like last time and issued an announcement.

"Be a good person before you do anything. Football is a fair and just game. If you do whatever it takes to win, even if you win the championship, the Football Association will not care!"

In other words, Wang Xiaodong's "character" is still a little bit behind. Even if such a player will increase the team's strength, he should not be allowed to "smear" the National Youth Team.

After the Football Association takes the moral high ground, any voice in China that supports Wang Xiaodong will be besieged by the "moral models". There seems to be an invisible hand in the void, controlling everything.

At this moment, Huang Jianxiang flew back to China from London.

On the second day after landing in Beijing, Huang Jianxiang announced his resignation from CCTV.

On the day of his resignation, Huang Jianxiang posted a long post on Weibo titled "On the Current Situation of Chinese Football." Based on what he had seen and heard at home and abroad this year, as well as his understanding of the current situation, Huang Jianxiang analyzed various national football brands. After analyzing the situation of each team, predictions were made for the upcoming Asian Cup qualifiers.

"With today's national football team, it is not enough to be called the first-class team in Asia. Even the second-class team is a bit reluctant."

"For the Chinese team, the most accurate positioning should be between the second and third rates."

"I hope everyone can clarify their status, recognize the reality, start from the ground, be down-to-earth, and change the status quo of football little by little."

As soon as this article came out, public opinion was once again in an uproar.

"What? After playing football for so many years, you can't even be considered second-rate in Asia?"

"Are you blind?"

"Didn't you see that we qualified for the 2002 World Cup?"

"Didn't you see the runner-up in the 2004 Asian Cup?"

"You got all these results?"

Faced with many doubts, Huang Jianxiang, who has resigned, spoke eloquently.

"In the past, the national football team was indeed second-rate in the world and first-rate in Asia, but that has become a thing of the past."

"Now many veterans have retired, and the replacement has not been completely completed."

"Based on the current level of the players in the national team alone, they can only be called the second-rate players in Asia."

At the end of the sentence, Huang Jianxiang paused.

"Of course, if Wang Xiaodong returns to China and joins the team with a smart and capable coach, it will be just around the corner for the Chinese team to become the best in Asia."

This trip to London opened Huang Jianxiang's horizons, and his admiration for Wang Xiaodong was revealed in his words.

Just as the fans raised their middle fingers at Huang Jianxiang's "arrogant" remarks, the news from the Changsha Helong Stadium on the other side made everyone shut up.

In the final match of the Asian Cup qualifiers, the national football team faced Iraq, which ranked first in the group, at home.

Prior to this, the two sides had 10 points each from 5 games and had already qualified together. This game only involves the battle for the top spot in the group.

As a result, at home, the national football team tied with its opponent 1-1 and ranked second in the group with a goal difference disadvantage.

Soon, at the Asian Cup Organizing Committee meeting held in Kuala Lumpur, the AFC overturned the established binning principle of "based on the results of the previous Asian Cup" and instead referred to the FIFA rankings in October 2006.

The national football team ranked tenth in Asia, behind teams such as Qatar and Oman, and fell from the seeding team to the third tier.

After receiving this news, all walks of life in football unanimously chose silence. Even the most popular media outlets did not dare to use Huang Jianxiang's "divine prophecy" to provoke the fragile hearts of fans.

"Old Huang, are you a little hasty in resigning this time? Don't be impulsive! Have you really thought about it?" After the handover, Liu Jianhong, Zhang Lu, He Wei and other football commentators held a resignation ceremony for Huang Jianxiang feast.

"No, I'm not acting on impulse. I've been thinking about this for a long time." Huang Jianxiang said, picking up the wine glass in front of him and draining it.

"Old Huang, what are your plans for the future?" Zhang Lu asked.

"Premier League!" Huang Jianxiang tapped his chopsticks, "Serie A is no longer good, but the Premier League is getting better and better. I have decided to compete with the Premier League in the next few years! I dare say that in the next twenty years, the influence of the Premier League will be Definitely better than Serie A."

"Master, I support you!" He Wei was the first to raise his glass to express his support.

"Haha, do your best, kid. With your talent, you will definitely do better than me in the future!" Huang Jianxiang smiled and patted He Wei on the back.

"Old Huang, you are obsessed with the Premier League because of Wang Xiaodong, right? Is Wang Xiaodong as amazing as you say?" Liu Jianhong asked curiously.

"Hmph! Did I say too much?" Huang Jianxiang snorted at the mention of Wang Xiaodong, "The Football Association is stupid! Don't talk about the Asian Cup when Wang Xiaodong is talking, you will be involved in the World Cup every minute!"
