Chapter 62 The Battle for Talent
"Hey, please, what time is it now!" Sun Wu looked at the misty sky outside the window speechlessly, and said to the phone: "What's the matter? I said that the interview will at least wait until the game against Manchester United is over."
"I don't want to..." Zhou Pan, a reporter from "Sports Weekly", asked tentatively: "It is said that you want to enter the England national team?"
"That's the news from The Sun, right?" Sun Wu yawned, "I said it when we first met...I remember Sun Ge also mentioned to you that I will not participate in entering England or Germany."
"But domestic Internet has turned upside down." Zhou Pan sighed, "Are you free today? I'll go to Blackburn later and request an interview with the club. At least you have to have an open attitude. After all, you are different from other Chinese. , the family members are still in China and already have Chinese nationality.”
Sun Wu was stunned for a while before agreeing, seeing the time was only five o'clock in the morning, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while, so he simply got up, still cursing, "Look at the Three Kingdoms worrying about the ancients, anyway, at least I won't go back next year, I know it is A pile of dog shit and sticking it all over your face..."
Sun Wu knew very well in his heart that he was just a rotation player of Blackburn, even if he became the main core player next year... he would still not be able to become the core in that Olympic team, and that position would not be his turn as the "banana man" in the eyes of Chinese people "
But after Sun Wu went out to buy a newspaper on the way to the club, he couldn't help but start yelling in his heart, Lineker is really wrong, it's okay to pull Lao Tzu up and Cesc Fabregas as a genius, and he has to mention the country Team question... It's exciting now!
England coach McAllen didn't say anything. Anyway, he is in danger now. Even if he can defeat Croatia in the final round and enter the finals, it will not be his turn to lead the team to participate in the European Championship next year.
Last year's Manchester City coach and now England U21 coach Pierce told reporters that he had asked Blackburn's coaching staff through personal relations to determine that Best had no intention of entering the England U21, and perhaps Best wanted to enter the national team directly.
Things are still normal up to this point, but a reporter from SB went to ask the German coach Joachim Loew... Of course Joachim Loew looked confused and didn't understand it for a long time.
The German media just started to ridicule this, you British think you are a genius... We Germans really don't like it!
But Loew went back to check the information, and he took the initiative to mention this matter to the reporter the next day, claiming that he liked Best's playing style, and the coaching staff of the German national team would keep paying attention to him...
"Remember the Manchester United midfielder Hargreaves today? He could choose between England and Germany, and the Bayern player at the time chose England. The reverse may happen in the near future."
Sun Wu walked into the locker room while reading the newspaper, and couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth when he saw this passage. This is from Lineker’s column...
Everyone knows the enmity between the gentleman star and the Germans...
Lineker famously said that after two penalties fell to the German.
"The so-called football is a game in which 22 people play for 120 minutes and the Germans win in the end."
"Hi, Best, did McAllen call you?" Bentley asked with a smile, "Maybe we can participate in the European Cup next year."
European Cup? Don't be ashamed! I really thought we could beat Croatia! Sun Wu lowered his face and said nothing, he crumpled up the newspaper and stuffed it into the locker.
Bentley and Santa Cruz looked at each other, neither understanding.
Now Sun Wu has almost guessed the situation in China. Although McAllen didn’t say a word, U21 head coach Pierce clearly pointed out that he refused, but the English media has always been unscrupulous, and it is even more unscrupulous than the Chinese media...
And the German head coach Joachim Loew spoke in person. As a result, domestic discussions on this topic are naturally rising.
Some people cursed, some people applauded, and some people talked about nationality and blood...
...
"Here, a row of posts are all about this." Fei Sun pointed to the computer screen, "This is a well-known football forum in China, and the moderator has already sorted it out, and all the posts that were originally abusive have been deleted. "
Grandpa put on reading glasses, tremblingly held the mouse and clicked on the post.
"From the appearance, this is a Chinese, basically you can't find the characteristics of a mixed race. A Chinese descendant represents the British and Germans in the game. Let me ask, grandson, what do you think of your ancestors?"
"Tsk tsk, this is to fight side by side with the descendants of the Eight-Power Allied Forces. Sun Wu is good at everything, but he is shameless..."
"After the diagnosis, both the host and the second floor have lost their minds. Let me ask, if he joins the Chinese team, he won't get a work permit next season and won't be able to play in Blackburn. You are responsible!"
"He is a British-German dual nationality. He was born in Germany and grew up in the UK. His name is Best. He obviously doesn't think of himself as a Chinese anymore. Don't count on it..."
"I can't figure it out. People are standing outside the mud, and they have to jump into the mud for no reason?"
"At least he is of Chinese descent, with black eyes, black hair and yellow skin, can he show some sympathy! You have to toss and pull him down!"
"There are still people who say good things." Fei Sun curled her lips, "Which national team to choose is Best's own business, and what does it have to do with them!"
"It's Sun Wu, not Best." Grandpa frowned and corrected, "If the nationality is transferred back to the country, will you not be able to participate in the club competition?"
"Well, yes." Fei Sun nodded immediately but did not mention that the so-called labor certification system only exists in the Premier League.
Grandpa continued to look at the post without saying a word. Sun Haoyang walked into the study after get off work, and said with a wry smile, "For such a mess, someone actually came after me."
"What's the use of looking for you?" Fei Sun asked in surprise.
Sun Haoyang knew that although his daughter returned to China for a few months every year and spoke Chinese well, he didn't have a deep understanding, so he explained: "People from the Football Association of X Province in my hometown, if Sun Wu returns to China, I want to hang the relationship with them. On the one hand, it is for performance, and on the other hand, it is also for the National Games.”
"What does Sun Wu think?" Grandpa turned around and asked his son.
"I mentioned it when I contacted you before. It's hard to say whether you want to join the Chinese national team, but at least you won't be playing for England or Germany." Sun Haoyang felt very sorry for this. Forget about England, Germany won the third place in the 2006 World Cup of.
"But that youth team..." Grandpa was a little puzzled.
"On the one hand, the domestic media made a few blind reports. On the other hand, participating in the German and England youth teams will not hinder the future entry into the Chinese senior team."
Grandpa made a final decision, "Then let Sun Wu make a formal statement quickly, Feifei, you are a student of the media, find a familiar newspaper reporter and go over there."
"This is my own brother! Do you need anyone else?"
