Shenzhen team

On November 24, 2004, Shenzhen Jianlibao defeated Shanghai Shenhua 3-1 at home in the 20th round of the first Chinese Super League, winning the first league championship in the team's history two rounds ahead of schedule. This is also the first champion of China's professional football top league since League A was renamed as CSL. the Shenzhen team has a strong lineup. It seems to be a natural thing to win the championship this time. But at that time, few people knew that behind the glory of the champion, there was the unspeakable pain of Shenzhen football, and it was also the stubborn disease of Chinese football that could not be completely cured for many years. Because the team has been in arrears for seven months. It is respectable that such a team has not been scattered, but also won the cup. On the other hand, it is extremely sad that such a powerful team has been treated like this. in the case of failing to pay wages and bonuses for several months, Zhu Guanghu relied on his personal charisma and finally stabilized the morale of the army, which led to the excellent performance of the Shenzhen team. Even the players and fans admit that without Zhu Guanghu, the Shenzhen team would not have played so well this year. In 2000, Zhu Guanghu, the former head coach of Jianlibao youth team, became the head coach of Shenzhen team. In 2002 and 2003, Shenzhen team won the fifth place in the league and the second place in the League respectively. At this time, Shenzhen became a strong team in the Chinese League. In 2004, League A was renamed as CSL, and only 12 teams participated in the first CSL. However, in the 14th round of the league match between Beijing and Shenyang, Guoan team was dissatisfied with Zhou Weixin's judgment and immediately called off the match. Then clubs such as Dalian Shide and Beijing Guoan started the G7 revolution. In the end, Beijing Guoan was fined 3 points for the strike and Dalian Shide was fined 6 points. Dalian Shide, the leader of era a, withdrew from the championship competition. without the competition of strong competitors, the CSL of Shenzhen team in that year was a smooth one. In 22 games, Shenzhen team won 11, drew 9, lost 2 and lost only 13 goals. This result also made Shenzhen Jianlibao team win the league title of China Super League two rounds ahead of schedule. However, no one thought that the era of "Jianlibao" would collapse before it started. the lively scene of Shenzhen team winning the championship lasted less than 15 minutes. After the celebration, the head coach Zhu Guanghu gathered the players in the dressing room. In the dressing room, there were many media who came to shoot the pictures of Shenzhen winning the championship, but no one thought that at this time, Zhu Guanghu took the initiative to "shoot": "many things are not up to us to decide, but we still have to do and work hard! You must get back what you have paid for your work and what you deserve. We can get the championship and we can get all the benefits we deserve this confused words, in the subsequent press conference to get a more detailed explanation: "seven months of wages and bonuses have not been given, our players are still fighting like this, I think it's too cute, but the people above us, it's too sad." Zhu Guanghu's words at the news conference were tantamount to lighting up a ton of TNT, which made the media and fans who were surrounded by the joy of winning the championship stunned! It was only later that we learned that Zhang Hai, an investor of Jianlibao, had made frequent mistakes in his main business during the past two years, and the capital operation was also ineffective. By August 2004, Zhang Hai was expelled by shareholders. When the group had an accident, the player's wages and bonuses were 90 million yuan in arrears. The team didn't pay any salary and bonus for seven months. In 2004, the champion of CSL, Shenzhen players have been getting it hungry! Zhu Guanghu, the head coach of the Shenzhen team, can be said to have made great contributions to winning the League Championship hungry. As we all know, Zhu Guanghu, who is the same age as the Republic of China, used to be the head coach of China Jianlibao youth team. Among the players of this Shenzhen team, Li Weifeng is Zhu Guanghu's most proud disciple. Zhu Guanghu's personality charm is an important guarantee to unite the team to win the championship.

national team

After being promoted to coach of the national team in 2005, Zhu, who has always been cautious, continued to hold high the banner of Anti Japanese, and tasted the sweetness in the contest with Japan and South Korea's top four East Asian teams and the warm-up match with Germany's national team. However, China's opponents in Asia are not only Japan and South Korea, but also the second and third rate teams from Southeast Asia and central and Western Asia. Against them, superstitious Lao Zhu copied the established tactics of 4 guards and 2 back midfield, still playing a single way with only the side but not the middle. It's not so much Zhu's preference for the 442 formation and the side attack that it's the least investment and the least risk. it may be more appropriate to describe Zhu Guanghu as "a giant in language and a dwarf in action". Zhu Guanghu has become a "mouth dealer" from the oath and bold words before the Asian Cup to the collapse of the good situation. throughout China's football for many years, domestic coaches are difficult to overcome the bottleneck of "foreign players, civil war professionals". However, Zhu Guanghu mistakenly thought he was a "lucky man" when he took office and won the championship of the top four in East Asia. Since 2006, Zhu Guanghu's eloquence and low record have formed two opposite curves. When the 2007 national football team's overseas training and the disastrous defeat of Thailand in the warm-up match led to a curse, Zhu Guanghu's saliva finally entered the "master" level. The sentence "Asia cup into the top four" sealed all the doubts, and the Asia Cup became the standard to test "Li Kui or Li Gui" Sign. finally, after the collapse of the national football team, Zhu Guanghu failed to fulfill his promise of "resignation" like a man. In retrospect, what has Zhu Guanghu left us in the past three years (2004-2006)? It seems that there is nothing except the saliva that once made the media excited and regarded as the "true classics" and a scar of Chinese football. In fact, this is not as good as a TV host. His saliva can even be included in a book to entertain the public. I'm afraid Zhu Guanghu can only "fool the public". What is most intolerable is that Zhu Guanghu likes to boast and his international players follow suit. From the Iran team to the defeat, we have heard many international players' promising pre match vows. There is also a detail in the game, which is a great satire to the national football dahuawang
