Yuan Story | One goal becomes famous

The first time I heard the name "Dai Weijun" originated from the previous national football coach and the Italian assistant's evaluation of him- "the core of the midfielder of the national football in the next ten years". Later, many people and media in the industry held him as "Zheng Zhi's successor".

The hat is high enough. But at that time, I didn't take it too much. After all, "killing" was already commonplace.

Until the end of March this year, "Mr. Guangdong Football" was announced in 2021 -Dai Weijun was elected. And the youngest in history, the two "Mr." in his previous two sessions were Zheng Zhi and "Shen Feng" of the national football team.

From Hong Kong, China, after the quasi -00s, it is currently the core of the Shenzhen Football Club and a new star in the national football team. Is this kid really expected?

In mid -May, two weeks after Lixia, one afternoon in Shenzhen, Shenzhen Xili Reservoir was sunny. In the exhibition room on the second floor of the office building of the deep foot training base, we all met Dai Weijun.

At that time, he was wearing an orange dark football and black pants. He sat on a single handrail sofa and answered the reporter's question at a glance to the camera. The sign of the microphone was "Tencent Sports". The slogan on the background wall reads "Strikes, adhere to dreams, and restart glory."

The club staff said that we came to interview Xiaodai's media in the afternoon, and there were other media lined up behind.

The colleagues who have ran for many years of domestic football reports told me -Xiao Dai is currently the most watched players, none of them.

The curiosity value of Dai Weijun is full.

Before knocking on this story on the keyboard, the first two rounds of the first two rounds of the Super League in the new season just finished the first season after the Chinese Super League faded in the "Golden Yuan Tide".

The top Chinese football league, which has begun to live "poor days", at least looks more focused and pure. More young players have the opportunity to grow and exercise. Dai Weijun, who is both talent and ability, is the leader of them. "Fried Chicken".

In the first two rounds, Deep Foot won two consecutive victories in the Meizhou Division. Dai Weijun was the best player in the team. He contributed 1 goal and 2 assists. The second round was the second round of the best player in the Super League. fan.

After the game, some media evaluated the performance of Xiao Dai- "it is really higher than other teammates"; stopping the ball can be called "world -class level"; as a midfield commander, "the vision is quite European" ... extremely beautiful overflowing beauty is beautiful. Words.

It is not the first time for Dai Weijun to get such high praise.

On January 27 this year, the Chinese team ushered in the life and death battle of the Twelve Champions. In the end, the national football team lost to Japan 0: 2 away, completely missing the Qatar World Cup. In this game, the 23 -year -old star Dai Weijun was the dawn of the National Football Team that made people shine at the moment.

At that time, a senior footprint wrote on her personal Weibo, "The three performances of the national football newcomer Dai Weijun have countless fans in the top 12 games. His growth and transformation, cultivate well, will eventually be cultivated. "

The camera was pulled back to the deep -footed base exhibition room that afternoon. Dai Weijun, who was standing in front of my eyes, was 1.75 meters, his face was beautiful, his skin was dark, his body was not healthy, but his thighs were full of muscles.

It was two weeks before the start of the Chinese Super League that day. Xiao Dai faced our shot and bluntly said his next goal -return to Europe to play football. "Now China's football environment is not good, so I want to go to a high -level competitive environment, and I hope to play in the five major leagues. "This season is that he proves his season.

On July 25, 1999, more than two years after Hong Kong returned to the motherland, Xiao Dai fell to the ground.

At that time, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was Dong Jianhua and the first Chief Executive of Hong Kong.

There were many major events in Hong Kong that year, such as--

Two big pandas "An An" and "Jiajia" presented by the central government to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region arrived in Hong Kong;

The National Archery Championship opened in Hong Kong. This is the first national sports competition organized by Hong Kong after returning to the motherland;

People from all walks of life in Hong Kong protested that NATO, led by the United States, attacked the Chinese Embassy in South China.

The performance team composed of 7,000 people held a literary performance at the Hong Kong Stadium to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China;

Golden Bao won the gold medal of the World Bicycle B -Class Championship and became the first world champion in the history of Hong Kong bicycles.

Before returning to the motherland in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Sports had not embarked on the road of professionalization. Hong Kong athletes could set foot on the Asian field, even if they only got a bronze medal, it was very amazing. Since the return in 1997, Hong Kong participated in international sports events in the name of "Hong Kong, China", including the Olympic and Asian Games, and participated in the National Games for the first time. It was also since then that Hong Kong sports athletes began to emerge in large -scale events, and there were many outstanding athletes such as golden treasures, Li Huishi, Gao Lize, Li Jing, Tia Na, Ye Peiyan, He Shibei, and Hong Kong Sports entered the "golden age".

In the past 25 years, Hong Kong's sports industry has been booming, and it is inseparable from the continuous support of the Mainland. The most direct one is the mainland to transport high -quality athletes and coaches to Hong Kong.

Some people in the industry pointed out that "more than 20 years of sports achievements have far exceeded the sum of Hong Kong and British periods." It is in this era that Dai Weijun's life is tightly tied together with football.

Dai Weijun's father was a player in Hong Kong in China when he was young. After Dai Weijun was born, Dai Father was determined to train his son into a professional player. Xiao Dai began to contact football when he was 4 years old. At the age of 7, his father sent him to the Guangzhou Youth Training grass -roots coach Huang Guori. At the age of 8, Dai Father and several other fans' parents set up youth training teams. Under the strict discipline of his father, Dai Weijun received professional football training since he was a child. Playing the ball became the most important content in his life.

The father who had high hopes for his son was naturally unwilling to let Dai Weijun "bend" in Hong Kong. Moreover, the level of Hong Kong football is not competitive in Asia, and it is also compared with European football power.

Dai Weijun has a nickname called "Little Wolf". He has deliberately cultivated his "wolf nature" since he was a child -to make his child a professional player, he not only sent Xiao Dai to Huang Guori's hands in each winter and summer vacation. When Dai Weijun was 11 years old, his father made a major decision - Make a family move to the UK and let his son enter the "wolf group" of British football, and suffer from all over the world.

After arriving in the United Kingdom, Dai Weijun first joined the Youth Training Camp of the Ritin Team. Since then, it has played for European teams such as Bayi, Oxford Lianhe, and Undelzhi in the Netherlands. The highlight time is to join the Premier League Wolves in the summer of 2019, on behalf of the U23 youth team to participate in the Premier League B League.

However, it is easy for a Hong Kong player to stand in European football.

"Too many European players want to play in England, so the pressure of competition is very high. No matter what age, someone will come to try training every week to grab your position. In each training and competition in the UK, I am thinking about How to keep your position. "

"At that time, in the wolf team, I knew how big the gap between myself and the adult first -team player, and the hope of really entering a team to play in the Premier League was slim. The owner of the club was Chinese. Later Try. "

Although compared with Shao Jiayi, Fan Zhiyi, Li Tie, Zheng Zhi, Yang Chen, Sun Jihai and other famous Chinese celebrities, Dai Weijun's first European "gold -plated" journey is not so dazzling, but his largest capital is young -meaning With the infinite potential of the future.

In order to really stand in European football, the most important step in the planning of his father to his son is to become a national football on the Chinese national team.

In an interview, Dai Weijun did not deny that he said he wanted to get a mainland hukou so that he could be selected as the national football team. Earlier, he held double passports in Hong Kong and Britain, China.

The year before Dai Weijun returned to the country (2019), in the end of the "Golden and Yuan Times", the big -name foreign aid and coaches from Europe and the United States spread all over the league teams. Players' income is not less than that of world -class stars, and even small players who have not entered a team can get a million annual salary. It is no exaggeration to say that playing in China at the time was one of the most profitable occupations in China.

However, behind the scene of prosperity, the crisis is hidden.

In 2020, under the dual pinch of the sudden new crown epidemic and some controversial policies of the Chinese Football Association, the Super League advocated the huge bubbles for many years. From the peak of the prosperity to the bottom of the dark valley, only overnight.

In this context, Dai Weijun returned to China.

"Because I have been in Europe, I have no agent and too many relationships in China, and I didn't think so much. At that time Donni) I like me very much, so I chose Shenzhen directly and did not go to other teams. "

In the first season, Dai Weijun became the main force of the team; in the second season, Dai Weijun became the team commander of the team. In 2021, after multiple efforts, Dai Weijun's mainland hukou problem was resolved. The collective hukou of the Shenzhen Foot Club in Longgang District, which is commonly known as "deep households".

In fact, it is not easy for Hong Kong citizenship to be changed to China. So how did Dai Weijun do it?

The policy of this incident is based on the document "Guidelines for the settlement of Hong Kong and Macao residents to settle in Guangdong Province (trial)", which was implemented in January 2020. This document indicates two ways to enter the mainland: the first category is that Hong Kong and Macao residents who were formerly in Guangdong Province applied to return to Guangdong Province. Obtaining "high -level talent identification" requires the recommendation or identification of relevant departments above the municipal level, which is relatively subjective.

Dai Weijun's situation belongs to the second category.

However, at the age of 22, he had not achieved important results. How to get "high -level talent identification"? Before Dai Weijun, there was no similar precedent in Shenzhen.

According to media reports, the Shenzhen Foot Club played a key role in Dai Weijun's transfer process. After fully communicating with Shenzhen Sports Authority and the Chinese Football Association, they were recommended by Dai Weijun to be recommended by the authoritative experts of sports. The demand for young football talents in Shenzhen and the Chinese national team decided to give Dai Weijun "high -level talent recognition". In the end, with this determination, Dai Weijun's entry into Shenzhen was specially approved by the provincial and higher -level relevant departments. At the same time, in accordance with relevant regulations, Dai Weijun automatically abandoned the passport and British passport of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in China.

After clearing the obstacles of the hukou, there was no bondage in the national football. In January 2021, the 4th game of the World Cup in the Fortune Top 12 of the World Cup, Dai Weijun was called by the national team coach Li Xiaopeng. With the poor status of naturalized players and the National Football Team, Dai Weijun got more opportunities. The dazzling midfielder "new core" in the country. In particular, the penultimate round of the second round of the National Football team tied Saudi Arabia. Dai Weijun made a brave breakthrough with a fifth enemy, and then compared the performance of a certain country, triggering the fans' long drooling war. Dai Weijun, the young "rookie" country, became famous.

In the inherent impression of people, most of the Mandarin of Hong Kong people is not very light, with a strong taste of "Hong Kong Pu".

But Dai Weijun's Mandarin was surprised me. It was not because there were many standards, but if you didn't listen carefully, you would not hear that he was a Hong Kong from Hong Kong for a while. Hong Kong wind. "

"Have you ever found a professional teacher and learned Mandarin?" I asked curiously.

"No, they are usually self -study." Xiaodai replied with a somewhat proud smile.

In an interview with the media, Xiao Dai answered the answer, but his expression was slightly serious. Only during the interview, he joked when chatting with the familiar club staff.

The age of 23 is the age of youth and is not afraid of being afraid of it, but Dai Weijun said that he is more restrained and "usually doesn't love to talk", which is related to his life experience from childhood to large.

"Every day is training, after training with the team, I go home and then practice. Saturday and Sunday are basically either watching the ball or training. I don't have much communication with my classmates or others in the spare time. Maybe I am my dad. Impact, I have been focusing on football since I was a child. "

The concentration that was engraved in his bones from a young age not only made Dai Weijun's football skills move rapidly, but also benefited him a lot in other respects. In order to better integrate into the deep football and national football, Dai Weijun began to practice Mandarin after returning to China in 2020, and also learned to write Chinese characters. After two years of hard work, his Mandarin has grown greatly, and Chinese characters have been well practiced. The signature of the fans has changed from the previous Hong Kong -style pinyin "TSUN DAI" to the Chinese character "Dai Weijun".

In 2021, Xiaodai also took the initiative to apply for recording of the Shenzhen -foot Club public welfare song, which was very devoted and emotional.

This year is the 25th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong to the motherland. In the memory of 23 -year -old football youth Dai Weijun, "returning" accompanied his teenage growth.

Although he left Hong Kong at the age of 11 to go to the UK, Dai Weijun still remembered the impression of returning. "On July 1st each year, there will be grand celebrations in Hong Kong. 25th) I am also my birthday. "

"If you have a chance to get back to Hong Kong now, what do you want to do most?" I asked.

"That must go back to see my parents and family first. I haven't seen them for more than two years, and I miss them." Dai Weijun said that in the 10 years of playing in the UK, he was basically accompanied by his father. Have a chance to see your mother and other family members.

"In fact, one of the important reasons why the reason why he chose to play in Shenzhen was close to home. It was more than 40 minutes to return to Hong Kong from the club base. I haven't gone back ... "Dai Weijun kept concerned about his family," All my family members are in Hong Kong, I am worried about them. I often tell them that there is no need to go out and protect them. "

In mid -March of this year, Dai Weijun, who was in the national team, also united the Fosun Foundation in his own name to donate 15,000 masks and 5,000 antigen detection packs to the Hong Kong Taoist Health Center. "I hope these materials can help everyone stay away from the virus. Especially the elderly who need more care. "

In the past two years, it has been effective in deep -footed efficiency, so that Dai Weijun has a deeper understanding of the close relationship between Shenzhen and Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

"I think Shenzhen is very international, and many foreigners like to come to Shenzhen. When I first came to Shenzhen, I felt like another world. Compared Working and living in Shenzhen, the economic and trade exchanges between the two cities are very close, and many businessmen invest and build factories here. "

During his spare time, Dai Weijun liked to walk around the seaside of Shenzhen Bay, where he could look at Hong Kong on the other side. "I hope the epidemic in Hong Kong will end soon, so that I can clear the level soon, and my family can meet."

For the future of Hong Kong, Dai Weijun sent his own blessings- "I hope she will be more prosperous and progressive and create a better tomorrow with Shenzhen."
