Original title: “Naturalized player Li Ke has the strength of the national football” “Zhang yoning can be better” “Guoan is ready to go” — exclusive interview with Li Ming, general manager of Beijing Zhonghe Guoan Football Club
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 18 (reporter Wang Yong) li Ming, the general manager of Beijing Zhonghe Guoan Football Club, is a “Flying Trapeze”. He made an appointment for his exclusive interview, which was changed again and again before the Spring Festival and finally became a trip in the warm spring in April. The reporter was very familiar with Li Ming, who was straightforward. During the interview, he also had no reservation. He joined the first naturalized player “crab” and Zhang yoning “pressure whistle, and issues such as the situation of the Chinese Super League competition this year, you know everything.
Li Ke has the strength to be selected into the Chinese team
although after joining the team, Li Ke and Hou Yongyong, two naturalized players introduced by Beijing Zhonghe Guoan, appeared in the spotlight, it is not amazing at the beginning. However, Li Ming firmly believes in his professional vision and the vision of the expert team, and has confidence in the strength of these two players.
Soon, Li Ke proved himself with excellent performance. In the battle with Henan Jianye team, he played a prominent role in both sides of Guoan midfield and scored the first landmark goal, which was also the first goal in the history of the Chinese Super League from a naturalized player.
Li Ming revealed that in March and April last year, the Chinese Football Association and other relevant departments started the work of naturalized players and communicated with some Chinese Super League clubs including Guoan. Guoan is very interested in this and is determined to make substantial progress and make achievements.
Li Ming introduced that Guoan locked Li Ke and Hou Yongyong’s two relatively feasible goals in Europe. They were evaluated by experts and consulted the players and their families. In addition, experts from the Chinese Football Association and other aspects were invited to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of them. These two players both meet the requirements in terms of age, comprehensive ability and subjective will.
After setting the target, the follow-up work is very complicated. Li Ke and Hou Yongyong became the first players in Chinese football to complete the citizenship procedures before the start of the Super League this season.
Li Ming said: “The standard for us to choose players for citizenship is to have the strength and willingness to play on behalf of the national team. I know these two players very well. Li Ke, who comes from the Premier League youth training system, has good strength. He is qualified for the requirements of various positions in the midfield. With the gradual recovery of his state and his familiarity with his teammates, it was when he played that he was able to get the chance to play on behalf of the national team through his outstanding performance in the national security team, I firmly believe that he can make great contributions to the national team.”
Li Ming, who has represented the national team for many years, believes that Li Ke can develop in any position in the midfield. He has excellent fighting ability and technical ability in midfield, especially compared with players in the same position in our country.
Talking about Hou Yongyong, Li Ming said that when he led the national youth team to Europe for training and competition, he was deeply impressed by the new star born in 1998. Hou Yongyong’s mother was born in Henan and supported him very much to return to China and compete on behalf of China. Hou Yongyong’s will is also very strong. He is very young and has excellent potential. He has a strong understanding of football, especially in attack, and has the ability to play for the national team in the future.
Li Ming said: “I believe that with the gradual recovery of the state, his performance time will come soon.”
Zhang Yuning joined Guoan is a win-win, and he can be better
Guoan won a good start of five consecutive wins in the super field this year, among which Zhang Yuning, signed by “pressure whistle”, contributed a lot.
Li Ming revealed that Zhang yoning is a very good young center in domestic football, but it is not very smooth to play abroad in the past two years, and there is a lot of information about him. “I took him when I was teaching in the national youth team and knew him very well. When I was on a business trip in Europe, I went to Holland to see his training and competition several times. The difficulties he encountered there are still relatively large.”
Li Ming said that after watching his training and competition for many times and knowing the idea of the club he worked for, as the coach who brought Zhang yoning, I communicated with Zhang yoning and his father and suggested that they make decisions as soon as possible and return to China to play football as soon as possible. Zhang Yuning has certain strength. At this stage, continuous and quality competitions are very important to his improvement. As a young player, he has played a heavy task in recent years on behalf of the national youth team, the Olympic team and the national team. He frequently travels back and forth between Asia and Europe. For his status, as well as playing in the club they play for, it still has certain adverse effects.
“After coming here to understand the overall situation, as a coach who brought him, my opinion is that Zhang yoning must have a sustained and stable 90-minute competition at this stage, not just a dozen minutes of appearance. Because only through stable playing time can we fully reflect ourselves and help the team win the game.” Li Ming said.
“I suggest Zhang Yuning return to the Super League, because he can get stable appearance (time) in the Super League, get help from world-class stars, and gain recognition and confidence through outstanding performance, maintain a good state of mind and reduce injuries induced by fatigue and excessive psychological burden.” Li Ming said, “their father and son made up their minds and chose to join Guoan. Although the transfer procedures later were also very complicated, they finally completed the procedures before the transfer of the “pressure whistle. I believe that with Zhang Yuning’s adaptation to the rhythm of the Super League, the cooperation with the whole team will be more tacit, and he can do better!”
The most gratifying thing is not the five-game winning streak, but the team’s sustained and stable play
talking about the excellent start of the five-game winning streak of Beijing Zhonghe Guoan Super League, Li Ming said that the most gratifying thing is not the five-game winning streak, but this team played a very stable role. There were no ups and downs in the five games, and the attack and defense were not as heavy as before. This is the embodiment of the gradual formation of the team.
Li Ming said: “Although the first five-game winning streak, if you want to win the championship, you must fight in one match and prepare for the difficulties. Because compared with competitors such as Shanggang, Evergrande and Luneng, Guoan does not have an absolute advantage. First of all, Guoan has been out of the championship group for a long time and lacks the experience of competing for the championship, including the experience of third-line operations. Secondly, Guoan in these two seasons is almost a rebuilt team, the management team, coach team, internal and external aid, etc. all need to run in. The third is that there are more players selected for the national team in the team, facing difficulties such as incomplete lineup and multi-line combat. At this stage, the team is experiencing the process of accumulation and accumulation. After finishing the competition in the first half of the year, the trend of the Chinese Super League this year should be gradually clear.”
“Although the team’s performance last year had ups and downs, winning the League of football championship again still gave us quite strong confidence.” Li Ming said that the coach team had a better understanding of the Chinese Super League, a smoother relationship with the players and a more reasonable style of play through a complete season of running-in. Therefore, although this year is still in the stage of breakthrough and accumulation, after more targeted reinforcement and talent reserve, the club is developing towards a more positive and upward trend, and the whole team is more eager for victory.
