Xie Yuxin, the first generation soccer king, came from Xingning, Guangdong. Before 1980 was selected by Yue Yongrong and Chen Hanlin, he was studying in Xingning No.1 Middle School. Don't underestimate this county-level No.1 Middle School. Its sports are great. It is an advanced unit of mass sports in China and the first batch of traditional football schools in Guangdong Province. It has trained and transported famous players such as Wu, Cai Jinbiao and so on, and is known as the "cradle of international players".

In the past, there were many glories and pains.

Cantonese people are used to eating crabs, and Xie Yuxin is no exception. He is the first player in China football history to study abroad. During the period of 1986, Xie Yuxin played a Koda Cup football friendly match against Zvaru, a top Dutch team, on behalf of China National Youth Team. His excellent performance on the court conquered the eyes of the critical Dutchman. 17 has passed, and Xie Yuxin can't remember the final score of that game, but the invitation sent by the Dutchman after the game really changed his life. "The reason why my football career is so long is because I learned how to cherish my sports life when I tried training in Holland." However, the past years are not all honors. The black three minutes of the national team, the demotion of Songri Hongyuan, and the departure of Shenyang Sea Lion are all eternal pains in Xie Yuxin's heart. ...

Tulip country makes me an excellent player.

1987 At the beginning of this year, Xie Yuxin went to Holland alone. At Zvaru Club, Xie Yuxin tried for five months (the trial was originally scheduled for March, but Xie Yuxin's outstanding performance was recognized by coach Adrian Sai, hoping that he would stay in the Netherlands for two more months to help the club's reserve team complete the rest of the reserve league). During these five months, Xie Yuxin lived in a local Chinese restaurant. "The owner of this China restaurant is a Hong Kong resident. We all speak Cantonese, and there is no language barrier. Because the club didn't provide me with a separate translator, as long as the restaurant was not too busy, he would go to the training ground and the stadium to translate for me and take the initiative to drag me to communicate with the head coach. After the training competition, if I think a person is too bored, he will introduce me to China students who eat in Chinese restaurants. Although I have only been in the Netherlands for a short period of five months, I have made many friends there, and getting along with them makes me feel that there is not much feeling of a foreign land in the Netherlands. "

Xie Yuxin's performance in Zvaru has conquered the club and the head coach, who all want him to stay and join Zvaru. "At that time, if I hadn't returned to China to play six fortunes, I might have moved to Zvaru Club permanently. Unlike the later China Football Association, at that time, President Wei Wei was very much in favor of players going abroad to play football. " Xie Yuxin said with a little regret, "The biggest difference between the players of that era and today's players is simplicity. When they hear that they are working for the province or the country, their own interests must be put aside first. Fortunately, the Guangdong team won the championship at the Sixth National Games that year. If I remember correctly, the Guangdong team has never won a domestic championship since then. So from now on, the choice of returning to China is still right. "

During his short five months in Zvaru, Xie Yuxin spoke highly of him. He thought he could become an excellent player in the next ten years of football career, which was inseparable from the impression left by the coaches and players of Zvaru Club. "I was 19 years old that year, and I feel very lucky, because 19 years old is an age that is easy to swing.

After leaving Holland 17 years, Xie Yuxin said that he never went back. He missed everything there, especially coach Adrian Sai, who gave him unprecedented confidence. Coincidentally, at the beginning of the year, the China Football Association went to Europe to select coaches, and the Dutchman Adrian Sese once became the most popular candidate. Speaking of the Dutch mentor, Xie Yuxin is unforgettable. "What impressed me the most was his rigor and meticulousness. In fact, some things were practiced at home at that time, but his strictness was something we rarely met. Whether it's training or competition, he asks you to carry out professional norms. On the court, he emphasized the overall consciousness and adaptability. Off the court, he pays more attention to digging and cultivating young people. I heard that he later went to Ajax and trained many people for them. "

The national team's career hovers between happiness and despair.

Xie Yuxin has always considered himself lucky. This kind of luck is not only because he is the first China player to study abroad, but more importantly, after 1987 won the football championship in the 6th National Games for Guangdong, he and his teammates rushed out of Asia and entered the Seoul Olympic Games for the first time under the leadership of head coach Gao. "That year, I was only 20 years old. I was very excited to enjoy the joy of rushing out of Asia at such a young age." Xie Yuxin still said excitedly, "It was actually quite dangerous at that time. In the final stage of East Asia, although both home and away games defeated Nepal and Thailand, they lost to Japan 0:/kloc-0: at home. Because they also defeated the above two teams respectively, the winning or losing and goal difference between the United States and Japan became the final weight to decide who qualified. Before the away game against Japan, it rained cats and dogs for more than two hours in Tokyo, and the venue was muddy. Japan can qualify as long as it draws, and we need to win by two points. Fortunately, we finally won 2-0. That night, I was drunk with excitement. This was the first time I got drunk after upgrading to the national team. "

However, less than a year later, that is, 1989, Gao, the coach who led the team to the Seoul Olympic Games, led China to the World Cup for the fourth time. China, in the fifth group of Asian regional qualifiers, lost only one of the six matches against Bangladeshi, Thai and Iranian teams and reached the semi-finals. In the semi-final, China defeated Saudi Arabia 2-/kloc-0 in the first game; In the second game, the UAE team scored a goal first, but in the last 3 minutes, China was overtaken by his opponent,1∶ 2; South Korea lost 0:/kloc-0:; In the following match, China beat North Korea by 1: 0. In the last game against Qatar, China scored two goals in the last three minutes, leading by one goal. Two "black 3 minutes" ruined China's dream of getting off to a good start and qualifying. "Failure to hit the World Cup is the most worrying thing in my football career, because with our strength at that time, if we play more steadily, there is great hope of entering the World Cup." Xie Yuxin's voice sank. "At that time, after losing to the United Arab Emirates and South Korea in succession, we won the game against North Korea with 1: 0. I scored the only goal. If we can beat Qatar in the last game, we can still enter the World Cup in Italy. At that time, Marin scored a goal first, and the players were too excited to calmly handle the normal passing and shooting. It was dark for another three minutes and we were completely eliminated. I played the whole game, so I will never forget the defeat. For me, those three black minutes were a great shame. This shame even surpassed our three duck eggs in the Olympic Games (0: 0 draw with Tunisia, 0: 2 loss to Sweden, 0: 3 loss to West Germany). "

Song Ri Hongyuan's demotion is bad luck. I want to retire.

After the opening of the professional league, Xie Yuxin spent two years in his old club, Guangdong Hongyuan. "1 1 in 1994, and the fourth place in 1995, I experienced the decline of the Guangdong team." Xie Yuxin said calmly, "After playing 1995, I came to Guangzhou Songri for a change. Frankly speaking, my salary in Songri is higher than that in Hongyuan, and the club trusted me at first and made me captain. The club respects me so much that I really want to play hard in the next few years and then retire at Songri. But the plan didn't change quickly. Soon, I found that my boss (Pan Sutong) didn't know anything about football. When the team's performance was poor, he even intervened in the coaching staff. In the end, whoever plays and who doesn't play is in charge. As a result, the team was completely out of order. "

That year, Guangzhou Songri played A in the first year. For various reasons, Songri was reduced to B that year. Compared with Pan Sutong's leapfrog management, Xie Yuxin admitted that the old coach who took over was very incompetent after German coach Werner was fired. "After Werner left, Zhang Honggen took over as coach. To tell the truth, some of Zhang Zhi's later practices (referring to letting reporters listen to the team summary meeting) are indeed beneath the identity of the old coach. It is no exaggeration to say that as an old coach, Zhang Zhi can't afford to lose. Imagine how a coach who doesn't want to deal with players in training can lead a team well. To be honest, almost at the end of the league, I was already planning to leave Songri. "

After leaving Song Tian, Xie Yuxin returned to Guangdong Hongyuan again. Interestingly, in 1997, Hongyuan became the second relegated Guangdong team after Guangzhou Song Tian because of its poor strength. Speaking of that experience, Xie Yuxin has been unable to find a reason to convince himself. "I can only say that I came back by myself. I will be relegated to any team, and I am the captain of two teams that have been relegated in a row." At that time, after a marathon love affair, Xie Yuxin promised to marry his wife. It is to cherish this belated love that Xie Yuxin, 30, had the idea of retiring for the first time.

The glory and core escape of Shenyang sea lion accident

"At that time, I made up my mind to retire. I gave the application to the Provincial Football Association and approved it. But one day, I suddenly got a call from Xu Xiaomin, the boss of Shenyang Sea Lion (the predecessor of Shenyang Jindede), saying that they had taken my card. Until that moment, I realized that I was later included in the list by the club. " Xie Yuxin said, "Because I was determined to retire, I declined the invitation of Shenyang Sea Lion. But Mr. Xu persisted, calling one after another. Later, I really couldn't beat the sincerity of Shenyang sea lions. I promised them to play for a year. "

But Xie Yuxin never imagined that his joining would greatly increase the strength of Shenyang Sea Lion, and fans naturally regarded him as the savior of declining Shenyang football. "When I went there that year, Shenyang sea lions just rushed to A. As an old player, I may have played a leading and exemplary role for them. The players played very hard that year. " Xie Yuxin explained, "Later, I signed a two-year contract with the club. Although it was hard to play at that time, especially the annual physical fitness test, the support of Shenyang fans and the ability of the club made me decide to stay for another year. " But Xie Yuxin never imagined that when he entered the fourth year of his football career in Shenyang, he was forced to cancel his contract ahead of schedule and left his teammates and fans who loved him.

"The outside world has always said that I don't have a good relationship with Henry. There are even rumors that I openly contradicted him on the training ground and blurted out' With or without me, with or without you', so I was fired. Actually, that's not the case at all. When Henry first arrived at the club, he trusted me very much. Later, he even regarded me as an assistant coach. Before making any decision, he will consult me in advance and ask for my advice. To tell the truth, I had a very good impression of him at first. However, with the increasing losses in the game, Henry became stubborn. Although he still discussed the team with me in advance, basically he said his and I said mine. In the end, he thought I was calling on the players to oppose him. " Xie Yuxin was very excited. "In order to avoid further escalation of contradictions, I took the initiative to find the club. I told Lei Yu, the general manager of the club at that time. Before I finished, Lei Yu preconceived and told me that I would look for reasons from myself and cooperate with the coach. The coach can't be wrong. " In desperation, Xie Yuxin chose silence, and Henry never looked for him again. Subsequently, former Guangzhou sun gods Min Jin and Peng, and former Bayi team Hu Yunfeng received a notice to suspend training, on the grounds that Henry thought they didn't work hard enough in the competition.

"When I received this notice, my first reaction was to leave. From that moment on, I decided to retire completely. " Xie Yuxin said a little heavily, "Later, I submitted an application for leaving the club. However, Wang Dezhong, the vice president at that time, came to me and begged me to stay in the team, saying that the Shenyang team could not live without me. As long as I apologize to Henry, I can stay in Shenyang with a very sincere attitude. But I told Mr. Wang clearly that my decision this time was really determined. A word spoken by a gentleman cannot be recalled. " In fact, what really made the club feel serious was that all four players named by Henry decided to leave the Shenyang team. In this way, the strength of the team will be hit like never before. After all, these four players were irreplaceable in the Shenyang team at that time. "If you still remember clearly, after I left the Shenyang team, Peng, Min Jin and Hu Yunfeng all apologized to Henry and the club and returned to the team. In fact, I suggested that the three of them apologize to Henry. I said you are still young, you should continue to play for a few years. After all, I am 35 years old and should retire. You are still young, and the players are eating youth. If you are wronged, you should go back and apologize. " Xie Yuxin said frankly.

Xie Yuxin said that when I decided to retire from Shenyang, the club said it would hold a farewell ceremony or a press conference, but I refused. "I'm not the kind of person who likes to make public. I just want to leave Shenyang quietly, a city where I stayed for three and a half years. " In fact, Xie Yuxin decided to retire, not only because of disagreement with the head coach, but also because he hasn't been with his son for a few days since 1997 was born. Guilt about children makes Xie Yuxin feel a sense of responsibility as a father.

Today, how much joy and regret.

It is precisely because he can't forget the Jianghu that Xie Yuxin chose football after leaving Shenyang Sea Lion, but this time he is no longer a player, but is trying to cultivate China's future football star. Today's life is happy, because he has a virtuous wife and a clever son, but he also has regrets, because he finds himself a coach with too little ink and hates books when he uses them. Life always has different regrets. ...

When I became a coach, I didn't know I was drinking less ink.

Xie Yuxin returned to Guangzhou from Shenyang and went to Guangdong Mingfeng Club as the head coach. From the player to the coach, Xie Yuxin's biggest feeling is that he is more tired. "I used to mind my own business, but now I have to take care of all the food and drink of dozens of people. After all, I just became a coach and I am still a beginner. The biggest feeling now is that there is too little ink in my stomach. " Xie Yuxin said, "Guangdong Mingfeng Club is registered with Guangdong Football Association, but it is a private investment club. Since the club was established six years ago, the boss Shao has spent more than 20 million RMB. This is a great football investor. "

Next month, the club will go to Shunde to participate in the national football second-class league. The reason for giving up the Hong Kong Football League is that Xie Yuxin said that players can accumulate competition experience earlier. "The oldest of these children was born in 1983, and the youngest was 1986. They are still young and need high-level and fierce competitions to improve themselves. The level of the Hong Kong League is relatively low. " Regarding the result of the second division, Xie Yuxin said frankly that he just wanted the team to train and had no special requirements for the result. However, Zhang Shudong has moved to Shandong Luneng, and the captain Zhou Yi has just suffered a recurrence of knee injury. Guangdong Mingfeng, who lost two generals, has many difficulties on his way forward.
