"Is that so?"
Beckenbauer's gaze was blank for a few seconds, and then he shook his head in dismay: "What you said makes sense, maybe a bystander like you can see it more clearly." ”"This is the progress of football, the free man tactic is different from other tactics, the requirements for the 'free man' are too harsh, unless there is a talent like you who is ahead of the times again, even if you force this tactic with team discipline, you will not be able to reach your height."
Xu Genbao said a word, walked forward side by side with Beckenbauer: "Speaking of free man tactics, you don't know what kind of excitement you were like when we watched your game on black and white TV in China at that time.Why is your title not 'King of the Ball' but 'King of Football'?
In our opinion, it is because your position is so special, as long as you are the undisputed core and commander on the field, the total evaluation of such a lifetime record as the 'King of the Ball' is not enough to describe your unique characteristics. ”Beckenbauer smiled and said curiously: "Can you also see the World Cup in China at that time?"
What did you think of me at the time?
”"At that time, we didn't have much TV in China, but as captain of the national team, we were able to watch you play.But the evaluation?
Do you really want to know?
”"Of course!"
Beckenbauer nodded: "It's a pity that I couldn't go to China to communicate with you at that time, but I would love to know what you think of me in your closed country, oh, and the free man tactic." ”"We, both the leaders and the players, agree with your football skills, but with the free man's tactics."
Xu Genbao said with a smile: "Our evaluation at the time was: the spirit of Western capitalism, the performance of individual heroism, the tactics of unorganized and undisciplined, and putting the individual above the collective. ”"Hahaha" Beckenbauer laughed: "You don't say I forgot, these evaluations are very familiar for a long time!"
That's what the media on the other side of the Berlin Wall criticized me at the time, and almost every time I had a good performance I would pay attention to what my compatriots thought of me, and they would always criticize me and watch me play. ”Xu Genbao also smiled: "Actually, we are the same, while we are not used to this tactic, we have to admit its value."
Because no matter what, football is the winner.A competitive sport, after all, depends on results.On a football field with more than a dozen people, it is impossible to avoid the performance of individual heroes. ”The two old men walked on the green turf, facing the sunshine of early spring in Germany, chatting about their youth together, and when it came to happiness, it was inevitable to dance with their hands.This is a very novel experience for the two people who have never met, and there are too many common memories and topics for the two people who have been engaged in football all their lives and have achieved extraordinary achievements in their respective careers.The two old men slipped to the wooden chairs next to the training ground and sat down, and the well-behaved Leonie brought them a steaming cup of coffee and a small plate of Munich gingerbread.The two thanked Leonie and then continued: "Jimbos, you should have noticed the outside world's comments about you, right?"
”Seeing Xu Genbao nodding, Beckenbauer said: "My visit this time also has something to do with the discussion of the outside world.You've had a great record, and you've got three Chinese players and a Chinese head coach that you've never had before.I'm sorry I have to say that in the eyes of us ordinary Germans, it is already an unexpected surprise for Chinese football to have one Yang Chen, and this time there are three more.The regional leagues don't deserve much attention, but your performance in this year's German Cup is so special.And after your tactical demonstration just now, I can feel that you will also pose a great threat to Schalke 04.So from your point of view, do you think it's better to open up foreign aid or continue with the current policy?
”Xu Genbao smiled: "From my point of view as a head coach, of course, the more players available for selection, the better, and of course, it is better to open up foreign aid.And if you look at it from the point of view of me as an old footballer, purely from the point of view of the German national team and the German league, I also think that it is good to open up foreign players.There is no future in isolation, this is the same in any field, like German football, like my country.You know, we have been reforming and opening up for 20 years now, but we have had enough of the hardships of closure.In short, openness is the trend of the times, if German football is not open, then at the league level, the level of competition and even the national team, Germany will gradually lag behind the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and France.This is probably something that the German football community does not want to see. ”Beckenbauer didn't speak immediately, thought deeply for a while, and sighed: "Yes, the times are different after all, when we played football, there was basically no foreign aid, and even if there were, there were very few of them."
But that didn't stop us from doing well at the time.But today is different, the capital factor in football dictates that the game should be better-looking, the confrontation should be more intense, and the players should flow more freely.Whoever is closed and conservative will fall behind in the competition of leagues and leagues.Unfortunately, our media still has a very conservative view, and although many of us are in favor of opening up foreign aid, it will take time. ”"That's right, Franz."
Xu Genbao said suddenly: "Speaking of which, I want to ask you, what will you do next year in the situation of young people in Tübingen?"
You know that our team has a long history, but it has been in the middle and upper leagues for a short time, the year before last year it was in the fifth tier, last year it was in the fourth tier, and this year it is close to the professional league.The foundation of our team is based on the university town of Tübingen, or on the basis of a large number of foreign students who love to play football, and we have a lot of foreign players in our team.For example, now our absolute main force has Allison, Bai Guanghai, Wang Ai, Boateng, Luo Tongliang five foreign aids, and there are three or four substitutes.But according to the rules of the German Football Association, if we play in the Bundesliga next year, we can only play three games per game, which is too bad for us. ”Beckenbauer frowned and nodded."
Listening to you, it seems unlikely that the German Football Association will open up foreign aid this year, but what about next year?
If we can't open next year, we're going to have a very hard time.You know that the history of our team is not very long, the youth center was established together with the stadium last year, and there is no large number of youth players formed by ourselves.Franz, can the DFB think about our situation?
We don't ask the DFB to treat us differently, but can we give us a transition period?
After all, our situation is a little special. ”()
