Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 365 Arriving in Barcelona
Hearing Pei Wei's question, Li Huajun was obviously taken aback for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Please tell me."

Pei Wei organized his language, and then slowly opened his mouth: "You want to go to Europe for further studies because you want to be more familiar with the European football environment, learn more advanced football concepts, and make yourself a better football coach... Is it for this purpose?"

"Yes." Li Huajun nodded in agreement.

"Then..." Pei Wei looked into Li Huajun's eyes and said softly, "After you finish your studies, do you plan to stay in Europe to earn US dollars, or do you plan to return to China to coach a club team?"

"Of course I'm back in China." Li Huajun said without hesitation. It seems that he has a very clear plan for his future: "In Europe, a former player who has never played in Europe can't be too fast. To get a better chance, even those coaches who were not well-known in the player era can only start step by step from the low-level leagues, and after achieving results, they can gradually become the masters of top teams or even giants. Coach... This is also the reason why they are basically from their own country. Even if a Chinese is educated in Europe, it is impossible to obtain the qualification of independent coaching from the very beginning. I can start as an assistant coach or even a youth team coach... Although that kind of experience is also a valuable asset, but instead of wasting time on those clubs, it is better to come back and become a coach in a domestic professional team. The training received by the club will not be less than that of the small European teams!"

Li Huajun paused for a while, and then said in a decisive voice: "The most important thing is that I am a Chinese! What I have learned must be applied to Chinese people, and to our Chinese players!"

"Well said!" Pei Wei applauded, raised his glass and said, "Dangfu Dabai! Come on, do it!"

The glasses of the two of them collided heavily, and at the same time they raised their necks and drank the wine in the glasses.

After putting down the cup, Pei Wei pondered for a while, and then said again: "But have you ever thought about it, the so-called professional knowledge of a coach is so much, and being able to get a professional football coaching license issued by the AFC is itself already It proves that your professional level has reached the level enough to coach a team independently. In this case, you can’t learn more by going to Europe. After all, coaches, like players, need to accumulate experience. At this stage, practice is more important than learning."

"I understand this, so I went to Europe, where there is the best football atmosphere, I need to continue to enrich myself in that environment, to enrich my experience, if it is just to take a FIFA coaching qualification certificate , I can take the test in China, there is no need to go to Europe." Li Huajun nodded and said.

"It seems that you are very clear about this." Pei Wei nodded with satisfaction: "But have you ever thought that in Europe, all you can do at the beginning is to study in the physical education institute... in the physical education institute, you can Compared with what you have now, what you have learned is just more systematic and precise, and there is no difference in essence. Football is not a too complicated sport... You have said it yourself, you need It's about practice and experience, but do you think you can learn that at the Sports Academy?"

Li Huajun was stunned, and Pei Wei continued: "According to what you said, you want to gain practice, so you can only wander around in various small clubs in Europe, serving as assistant coaches or youth team coaches. Excellent - more of them are not excellent. After all, if these coaches are excellent, it is impossible to stay in a small club forever. You will work under these not excellent coaches to gain those pitiful practical knowledge... Don't you think this is too wasteful?"

Li Huajun was silent. This former superstar made a mistake that many people would make, that is, simply thinking that as long as he is in Europe, his progress must be higher than that in China, just like a player going abroad to play football.

But it also depends on the person. For example, Yun Jiatianyu, players like Hao Dong, Nie Fei, and Sun Chenghai, who obviously have not been trained better in China, will be able to make them stand up after going abroad, but they must It is necessary to show the best state to play, so as to achieve faster improvement. If Nie Fei is allowed to go to a mid-lower team in the Ruichao, can he still improve so fast?

And those players whose strength is difficult to stand up in China, even if they are lucky and join a wealthy team, but they can't even play the main force of the reserve team, what training can they get?
Especially when the domestic league is on the right track now, going abroad blindly will make some players not reach their due heights.

"If you just want to combine what you have learned with practice, then I have a good way." Pei Wei looked at Li Huajun, who had obvious disappointment in his eyes, and said with a smile: "This time I am going to Europe, The first thing is to find a good foreign coach - do you understand Portuguese?"

"I understand." Li Huajun didn't know what Pei Wei meant, but he still nodded: "I can speak both English and Portuguese. , basic conversation and football-related terms I know."

"That's easy." Pei Wei smiled satisfied: "The coach I'm looking for this time is not well-known in the world, but I can guarantee that he is definitely a world-class coach. After he took office, I hired you as the translator and assistant coach of Yunjia Tianyu Club. I believe you will be able to learn a lot from him. Moreover, I believe you know something about my club. Whether the national team or the reserve echelon, they are all operating with the concept of full Europeanization. I dare say that, except for the strong teams in the five major leagues, we have everything that other European teams have. In my club, you will Feel the atmosphere of European clubs, and you will practice more than you can feel in those small European clubs... Are you interested?"

****************************************
On the flight to Barcelona, ​​Su Mei was already asleep, but Pei Wei couldn't sleep. After tucking the blanket for Su Mei, Pei Wei looked at the white clouds outside the window, thinking about the scene in BJ.

Regarding his proposal, Li Huajun didn't answer directly, but said that he had to think about it, but Pei Wei was sure that he would definitely agree.

I believe that Li Huajun can tell the truth from what he said. Being able to obtain the professional coach qualification certificate issued by the AFC proves that Li Huajun has the ability to coach a team independently. What he lacks is only practical experience. It is also the reason why Li Huajun hopes to study further in Europe.

But as Pei Wei said, when a young coach like Li Huajun who has nothing to do with European football goes to Europe, he will not get a good training opportunity at first. He can only start slowly from the grassroots. The most famous young marshals also got the opportunity to coach the giants after slowly climbing up step by step.

Like Benitez, although he had no achievements as a player, he was born in Real Madrid's youth training camp anyway. In Luncia's opinion, if Mourinho, who is on the road to a famous coach, has a more obscure background than him, if he hadn't met such a good teacher as Robson, he would have been able to coach independently after five years of studying with him. Opportunity, compared with them, Rijkaard and Mancini are much luckier, that is because they were all-powerful stars in the player era, they are extremely popular in Europe, and they coached at a high level before retiring. Learn by yourself, and then quickly get the opportunity to exercise, so that you can grow up quickly.

And even so, Rijkaard still failed miserably in the Dutch national team and the Eredivisie Rotterdam team before joining Barcelona. Mancini was often criticized after joining Inter Milan. They are all like this. Li Huajun is a Chinese How good of a chance can you get in Europe?
Under such circumstances, working as a coach in Yunjiatianyu, a club that is basically Europeanized, obviously has a much higher starting point than working as a part-time job in an unknown club in Europe, and the training you receive is much better.

Especially if I can successfully achieve my goal this time and invite that person... Then Li Huajun must learn more from such a person.

After starting to form the Yunjia Tianyu Club, Pei Wei is most proud of having cultivated a group of outstanding players, such as Nie Fei, Zhu Guosheng and others, as well as allowing several of the best players in Chinese football at this stage to further increase their strength , such as Hao Dong, such as Sun Chenghai, but he still has a regret. Up to now, he has not cultivated an outstanding local coach belonging to China. You must know that the success rate of coaches is much lower than that of players.

If ten young people start football training at the same time, and one of them can become a professional player, then if one hundred retired players want to learn to become a coach, then one hundred of them may not be able to produce a professional coach.

Pei Wei has even started to plan that when Li Huajun has learned enough, let him take over from that person as the head coach of Yunjiatianyu, and in the future he can also become the head coach of the national team...

In Pei Wei's reverie, the sweet voice of the stewardess came, the plane was about to land, and Pei Wei was about to arrive in the capital of Catalonia.

PS: Tomorrow is a very important day...haha, guess what day it is? (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
