Chapter 24 Cai Sheng, the "hanging shot" unintentionally pierced by the tea-drinking reporter

The coach who was born as a high center forward spoke, giving people a sense of a world away: "We came from the cool Qingdao to the hot Chengdu. The weather made us very uncomfortable..." On the day of the game, the temperature was 20°C, cloudy and breezy. Several billboards of condoms stand in Qingdao Yizhong Stadium, but this fortress, known as the "city of gambling" in the circle, has not been recruited for a long time, and it is obviously not the credit of Durex.Under the tight contact system and operation methods of the "black skins", South Korea's "iron head" Lee Jang-soo left with hatred.He believes that his incompatibility has touched the fundamental interests of some people, "If something happens to me, please tell the embassy, ​​someone must be punishing me."

In 2008, the small-produced movie "Crazy Stone" became popular in China. The "black skin" with a Qingdao accent was not arrested for stealing rare treasures, but because he was hungry for days, he smashed the counter for a piece of bread and was caught up. over the viaduct. The drama of life is jaw-dropping.Which one is more illusory, art or reality, is difficult to answer for a while. The Qingdao fortress finally collapsed, and people just heard about the deal between You Ke and Liu Hongwei in 2007.In fact, on September 2, 2009, the dramatic "hang shot" at the Sichuan University Stadium knocked on the secret door of Qingdao football.In the last 3 minutes, Zhang Tiangang, Du Bin and Li Ming lobbed shots at their own gates. Afterwards, many people in the circle lamented: "What kind of profit drives Qingdao Hailifeng, who has always been 'rigorous', to act so boldly?" ?”

Handicap, of course handicap.When the reality cannot be linked to the handicap, there is only open fire waiting to happen. However, a secret that is not known to outsiders is: "Drop shot" is almost unknown at all.The reason why this matter was finally exposed was determined by the successive occurrence of multiple small probability events.To a certain extent, we can only understand that what you want will happen if it doesn't happen.Under the guidance of the famous Murphy's law, every detail of the "hanging shot" is like a gossamer, but interlocking, and finally connected into a super scandal.

This day almost became a game with only one reporter from Qingdao present.Due to the consecutive defeats, the Sichuan team is already in danger, and it is impossible to get attention in the middle class.The local media only release small news each time, sometimes even deal with it with "one sentence", which greatly discourages the enthusiasm of local reporters.If it weren't for the reporters who ran the Sichuan team to have a tea game at Sichuan University that day, and came to the scene just when they were bored, there would not be enough witnesses for the lob shot. There is no need to detail the specific actions of the three in the final period here.In the 90th minute of the game, Sichuan trailed Hai Lifeng 0-3. Li Ming's lob shot finally aroused the fans' "ball-fixing" howls.At this time, the fourth official held up the sign for two minutes of stoppage time.For some people, there is still hope in the next two minutes-before, in the words of a fan at the scene: "Hai Lifeng almost went crazy." They lobbed their own goal 3 times, of which Between the second and third times, he took advantage of the Sichuan team member's injury to re-serve the ball, and did not return the ball to the opponent, and made a blitz.However, after this quick attack was strangled by the Sichuan team, Li Ming had to hang back again.

At the last moment, Hai Lifeng obviously wanted to "do it" for Sichuan, and of course it was considered by the outside world to be the reason for the handicap.Afterwards, people learned that the game entered 75 minutes, and the handicap of the big ball was opened to 3.5 goals. After 5 minutes, the score still hadn't changed.Of course, the water level of the big ball is gradually climbing.It is reported that someone re-played the big ball at this time in this game, and it was a "million-level" heavy hand.No one specifically pointed out that this is the person from Qingdao Hailifeng, but the team's method of hitting 4 goals at the last minute without hesitation could not but arouse suspicion.Especially after the old player Du Bin played in the final stage, the situation of the Qingdao team conceding a goal has become more obvious.It is a pity that at this time the Sichuan team has been beaten 3-0, and it is basically hopeless to avoid relegation after losing this game. How can the desperate Sichuan team catch Qingdao Hailifeng's "oversight" at the last moment.

To make matters worse, when the fourth official raised the stoppage time card, the match director staggered from the stands and stopped the decision.He obviously didn't want to let this farce continue.Attacking his own goal by himself, this farce happened in the Chinese football world in the 1980s. Since the professional league, it is the first time that it has been so embarrassing.The wind in the stadium kept blowing down the billboard that day, and the sponsor called two workers to deal with it.After trying it out, they found it best to nail it to the ground with a nail. At this moment, seeing the spectacle in the final stage of the competition, a worker smashed the nail hammer on his finger in shock!

The game ended with a score of 3 to 0. The Qingdao Hailifeng players who won the game were more depressed than the Sichuan team who lost and were about to be relegated.Of course, an uncharacteristic anger is also building up.Player Feng Shaoshun angrily threw a bottle of mineral water on the ground. When the reporters approached Li Ming to ask questions, he trotted all the way back to the lounge. If Cai Sheng knew that there was almost no need for a press conference in Sichuan University, he would definitely regret it.The rules of the China League One require that there must be a press conference attended by the head coaches of both sides after each game, but the reports of the China League One match are usually very simple in newspapers, and almost no reporters participate, and the event organizers are too lazy to organize.However, on this day, the reporters almost "coerced" the organizers that there must be a press conference!

Even so, Cai Sheng still has a chance to walk away.When Sichuan head coach Qin Yong came to the scene, the Qingdao Hailifeng official protested: "Why not the head coach Wei Qun? If so, we won't participate." Cai Sheng turned to leave, but many people present came up with the playing list, Remind him that because of the license, the head coach of the Sichuan team is indeed Qin Yong, not Wei Qun.In desperation, Cai Sheng sat down again. The coach who was born as a center forward spoke like a world away: "We came from the cool Qingdao to the hot Chengdu. The weather made us very uncomfortable..." On the day of the game, the temperature was 20°C, cloudy and breezy.Many people attending the press conference were still wearing long sleeves. Except for Cai Sheng who said it was "hot", everyone stood outside for two hours, still feeling refreshed.There was an awkward silence in the room, perhaps to match the head coach's analysis of the weather, someone echoed, "Director Cai has worked hard, hard work..."

Cai Sheng's explanation for the subsequent question about lobbing his own gate in a cannonball style mainly consists of three parts.First, it's a passback.As for why they stood in the midfield and passed back when suppressing the Sichuan team, it was because they wanted to ensure a 3-0 victory; second, as for why they caught another not so good team after the second lob shot at their own goal. The "moral" opportunity, wanting to score the opponent's ball, is because the player needs to "adjust tactics on the spot"; third, the ball becomes an air ball because the field is uneven and the player did not control it well.Qingdao's Tiantai Stadium is well-known in the industry for its bad ground, and the turf of the Sichuan University Stadium is also bad. However, in the first 80 minutes of this game, Hailifeng's players did not have such a big deviation due to the ground problem.As a former international player, Cai Sheng was silent when asked if he had seen such bad footwork.

Compared with the composure he was interviewed by CCTV's "Football Night" reporter in Qingdao a few days later, Cai Sheng's performance at this time was too negligent.On his home court a few days later, he said, there was no "lob shot". "You mean the media reports are not true?" a CCTV reporter asked, and Cai Sheng replied, "Yes." How can Cai Sheng be allowed to dance solo in such a big comedy?A few days later, a media outlet in Central Plains broke the conversation between former Hailifeng players and their former teammates, revealing that many players in the team were involved in gambling.At this time, Hai Lifeng still blamed the Sichuan team.It is reported that they believe that the whole incident is a hat for the Sichuan team, which wanted to make the ball but failed to make it.And their team is very pure-team leader Wang Shouye said in an interview with Chengdu reporters that he only learned about the concept of "big ball" after "specially" asking other people after the game.At this time, Wang Shouye, who didn't even know what a "big ball" was, wrote thousands of words in 2002, asking the national team to hire Guus Hiddink as the national team coach.In the article, the old coach mentioned several times that he "knows Chinese football like the back of his hand".

There are still many details that have nothing to do with the two teams.Under the strong request of the media, the people concerned almost "snatched" the video of the game from the hands of the game supervisor.The digital video converted from the video tape is very unclear, and it cannot be seen clearly by the Football Association after being put on the Internet.Therefore, the Chinese Football Association asked the competition area to provide CDs.For the first time, the Football Association did not receive it.In order to avoid not being able to receive it twice, the competition area sent people to Beijing by plane just to give away this CD.A few days later, the Chinese Football Association stated that they were looking for "evidence" of the game from all walks of life, and the reporters present were welcome to break the news.As everyone knows, the media has already made it very clear: "Shooting at our own gate is evidence in itself." Hai Lifeng believes that the Chengdu media attacked the team out of local protection, but the Chengdu media is also willing to publish Wang Shouye's opinions in a large space.It's just that outsiders still don't understand why Hai Lifeng chose to lob his goal in Chengdu.In this city, several media outlets kept attacking the Shide department, making the Football Association dumbfounded; whether it was the "big bus" involved in pornography, or Xu Huifei kicking sanitation workers, and "four guns to vibrate Wei Qun", the Chengdu media all expressed considerable objectivity.This may not be read as overt provocation or courage, but as a matter of coercion. Three months later, Hailifeng regrouped for the latest season, and Cai Sheng did not appear.Wang Shouye explained: "He is busy at home and will come soon." After a few days, Cai Sheng still did not show up, and the boss Du Yunqi also did not show up.Some say he has disappeared. On December 11, when CCTV broadcast the case of Hai Lifeng and Xie Feilian, there were four head portraits of the team leaders and bosses of both sides, only Du Yunqi was a black silhouette.People close to him revealed that Du usually never took photos with others, so few photos came out. When this program was broadcast, a boss of the Chinese Super League sighed: "When Hailifeng leads the team, I always thought it was Wang Shouye." A few minutes after the broadcast of the program, almost all the phones in the football circle were busy.People in the industry are exchanging ideas on how this matter will end.A player recalled that on this day, Wang Shouye vowed: "Everything depends on the decision of the above." At this time, Du Bin also disappeared. Some people said that he went abroad. A day later, Wang Shouye, who had just returned to Qingdao from Kunming, was notified by the police.The coach, known as the "Godfather of Qingdao Football", immediately flew to Shenyang with the police on flight CZ3983 at 11:15. The day before, Hailifeng's former coach Zuo Wenqing was also taken to Shenyang by the police on the same flight.At this time, people in Qingdao were panicking, and a common argument sounded more like a prayer: they were there to "assist in the investigation", and the possibility of gambling involvement was small, rather than being arrested.
