Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 500 Advisor Pei Wei
"Graduated from the Cologne Institute of Physical Education?" Pei Wei frowned. You must know that Li Qiang's European branch has a good relationship with the Cologne Institute of Physical Education. Basically, the Chinese who graduate from there every year are recruited by Yunjiatianyu first. , How could such a talent be hired by the Football Association through open recruitment?
Pei Wei didn't want all the talents to belong to Yunjiatianyu, nor was he angry because such a person joined the Football Association, but through this young man named Ling Binghun, he found that Yunjiatianyu seemed to have missed some talents—— Originally, there are very few people in China who understand both football and economics. If such people do not return to China but stay in Europe, or even go to other businesses because no one appreciates them, then the loss will be great!

However, there are not a small number of Chinese graduates from Europe every year. Yunjiatianyu alone can't digest so many talents. Generally speaking, Yunjiatianyu will recommend these graduates to other clubs. Maybe this Ling Binghun is also Yunjia Tianyu recommended it to the Football Association.

After asking Xu Bing, Pei Wei's conjecture was confirmed. As expected, Ling Binghun was first spotted by the European branch, and then recommended to return to China, and then moved to work in the Football Association through the recruitment of the Football Association-this matter Pei Wei didn't know, because he seldom took care of the club's affairs during this period of time, but judging from this matter, Li Qiang did a good job, at least he didn't disturb some of the rules that Pei Wei set when he was in office. .

"This young man is very good, and he also has a good understanding of European football...you can count him as one when you go to England after the World Cup." Pei Wei said to Xu Bing with a smile.

"It can be considered." Xu Bing nodded: "There are not many young people who are capable and capable in the Football Association... But are you sure that the Football Association will allow us to go to learn from it? Or will they impart their experience to us selflessly? ?”

"I don't think this should be a problem." Pei Wei smiled confidently: "Among so many countries in the world, probably only the English Football Association is the closest in nature to our Chinese Football Association! Like us, the English Football Association has the same leadership. They have a strong official background! What’s more, they are the originators of modern football, and we are the creators of ancient football Cuju. With such a layer of origin, and our ancient football originator is now sincerely going to their modern football The originator of the Premier League to learn from the scriptures, with the FA's overjoyed style, will they not accept us? Of course, they will definitely not completely and unreservedly tell us how the Premier League operates, so it depends on us The more you listen, the more you see, the more you understand, it’s okay to do things like stealing a teacher once in a while! You have to use it more for doctrine.”

"It seems that you already have a draft." Xu Bing glanced at Pei Wei with a half-smile: "Then, this group should have you as well... After all, there are not many people who are as knowledgeable as you..."

"No way, the league is in charge of Wan Junsheng, you let me go, where to put him?" Pei Wei jumped.

"Put it on top of you." Wan Junsheng's voice came from behind, Xu Bing in front of him had a smirk on his face, Pei Wei turned his head helplessly, and looked at Wan Junsheng who was standing behind him with a wry smile.

"As for this group, don't both of you try to run away." Xu Bing pointed at Pei Wei and Wan Junsheng: "One is the head of the team, and the other is the deputy head in charge of affairs...Old Pei, Lao Wan is in charge of the official affairs. You will be in charge of the specific operations... the rest of the personnel will be chosen by you, and the delegation can be formed after the World Cup is over."

"And I do things that are not thankful?" Pei Wei shrugged helplessly, willingly accepting Xu Bing's exploitation.

"Forget it." Pei Wei waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you suffer a loss or not, anyway, it's after the end of the World Cup...isn't it? I think I'm going to talk to Milu now, he seems I didn't take it seriously as a consultant, I want to have a good communication with him, hehe..."

Seeing Pei Wei walking away with a secret smile, Xu Bing and Wan Junsheng shrugged their shoulders at the same time. It seems that the old fox Milu is about to meet an opponent, but it doesn't seem to be any harm. He has already achieved quite good results, and he is beginning to show signs of not being so obedient. It is also a good way to let Pei Wei beat him.

****************************************
"Bola...you seem to like people calling you that...then I'll call you Bora...Try this cup of coffee. It's freshly ground, not the instant coffee."

That night, in the lobby of the hotel where Milu stayed, the newly appointed national team consultant Pei Wei was sitting face to face with the national team coach Milu. Pei Wei knocked on the table in front of him and said——he understands Spanish , and Milu also understands, so there is no problem between the two sides in communication.

Milu smiled, picked up the coffee in front of him, and took a sip.

"It's late at night, it's not a good habit to drink coffee now, otherwise you won't be able to fall asleep." After putting down the cup, Milu said lightly.

"That's right, this habit doesn't seem very good, but when you need to keep your spirits up, a cup of coffee can make you energetic, and the long nights seem to be less difficult to pass." Pei Wei laughed: "So I always I think the refreshing effect of coffee is the best, although our Chinese tea also has the same effect, but it seems not as obvious as coffee.”

After a pause, Pei Wei continued, with a sincere expression on his face at this time: "Bola, to be honest, I have always believed that in a national team, there is only one person who can make decisions. , that is the head coach! For a team, the head coach is the soul of the entire team! To use an inappropriate metaphor, the head coach is like a driver. Although a good driver cannot drive a tractor As fast as a Ferrari, but a bad driver can drive a Ferrari as slow as a tractor! A team, the quality of the head coach can even determine the quality of a team to a certain level. How far!"

It was obvious that Milu liked this sentence very much. He raised his glass with a smile on his face: "Cheers to your metaphor."

The two cups touched lightly, making a light "ding".

"Bola, I have a question for you." After putting down the cup, Pei Wei frowned and thought about it, then asked: "What made you decide to coach the national team? I want to know the biggest reason." .”

"Because I am optimistic about Chinese football." Milu thought for a while, and then replied: "In the 98 World Cup, I paid special attention to the performance of the Chinese national team... because I was leading the Nigerian team at the time. In the final, I will play against Denmark or China...To be honest, I was more optimistic about China at the time, because they have vigor, technology, speed...have all the conditions for success, especially when Nigeria, which I led, was crushed by the Danish team. After the four-to-one match, I am more interested in the Chinese team, which can draw with the Danish team, and their advantage over Nigeria is that they are more disciplined."

"Who was the head coach who led that team...do you remember?" Pei Wei asked with a smile.

"Rafael Benitez." Milu replied without hesitation: "The Spanish head coach is now the head coach of La Liga Valencia."

"That's right." Pei Wei laughed: "But do you know which team he coached before coaching the Chinese national team?"

Before Milu answered, Pei Wei pointed to his nose: "Yunjiatianyu team, my team." After a pause, Pei Wei continued: "Also, I know that Benitez is coaching the national team. Who was the translator and consultant beside him when he was in the national team? It was me, Pei Wei. At that time, I was still the chairman of Yunjiatianyu. His advisor, but in that national team, I was only responsible for translating his words to the players, and then helping him make some preparations and giving some suggestions... In the formation of the team, the head coach had to take Where there is absolute authority, I never touch it."

Pei Wei's remarks are to express his own attitude - his consultant is just a consultant, and will not threaten the authority of the head coach Milu, and in other respects, Pei Wei will try his best to help Milu Good road, as it did for Benitez.

Obviously, this sentence is more useful to Milu than the flattering sentence just now. To be honest, Milu was a little dissatisfied with the addition of a consultant like Pei Wei in the national team at the beginning, but Pei Wei expressed himself in this way. Immediately after taking on the role in the national team, Milu immediately untied the knot in his heart. For a head coach, whether he can grasp the actual power is the most important thing. As for the name...it is not So important.

"Then... I really hope to have a good cooperation with you in the national team." Milu smiled again and raised his cup.

"As you wish." Pei Wei also smiled: "I have always believed that only by working together in any group can the ability be brought to the limit. I also believe that only by being open and honest can we express our sincerity."

The meaning of Pei Wei's words is obvious-now I have expressed my sincerity, now it's time for you to show your sincerity!

Obviously, Milu is also very good. As the most successful foreign head coach in the history of the Chinese national team (Milu is the No.4 foreign head coach in the history of the Chinese national team, the No.1 foreign head coach Joseph did not lead Needless to say, Uncle Shi later, even Benitez only led the team for a while, unlike Milu, who led the Chinese national team and Olympic team to win the Asian Cup and the Olympic Games respectively. runner-up), he was able to sit in this position for three years without a single thought.

"Then can we study the selection of warm-up opponents?" Milu said with a smile. There are not many things that can be studied between the two. Pei Wei has already said that he will not intervene in tactics and personnel selection, so what can be studied Probably the only option left is to warm up the opponent.

"This is really important." Pei Wei nodded: "I think we need to look for warm-up opponents based on the characteristics of our opponents in the three groups...Of course, these opponents should also be members of the World Cup. It's worth exercising."

"Well, that's right." Milu agreed: "The three opponents in our group are Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica, so our warm-up opponents must have at least similar technical characteristics to the three opponents... But such an opponent Not easy to find."

"Among our warm-up opponents, we can choose the Portuguese national team. They have a deep connection with Brazilian football. They are in the same group as South Korea, and I believe they would also like to play against us, who are also East Asian teams."

"This is indeed a good opponent." Milu nodded: "However, it is not easy to find opponents similar to Costa Rica. The other two teams from Central and North America, the United States and Mexico, have different styles from them."

"Then we can look for it in European teams. Costa Rica's players are basically composed of mixed races and purebred Europeans, plus some blacks." Pei Wei smiled: "But speaking of it, this You have coached all the teams that have qualified for Central and North America, whether it is Mexico, the United States, or Costa Rica."

"That's true." Milu couldn't help laughing: "Actually, the strength of the Central and North American teams is not bad. They are developing very fast. Costa Rica has many good players."

"In fact, in this group, our biggest opponents should be Costa Rica and Turkey." Pei Wei analyzed: "If nothing else happens, the Brazilian team will definitely occupy a qualifying spot, and the remaining three teams have The possibility of qualifying, we have to beat at least one of these two teams, and then draw with the other, so that there is hope of qualifying.”

"So, what's your opinion on the remaining opponents in the warm-up match?" Milu asked.

"I recommend picking from the Nordic teams. Whether it's Turkey or Costa Rica, their players have excellent speed and strength, and this is what the Nordic players have. Whether it's Sweden, Denmark or Norway, they can all be considered. In addition, I also recommend Poland, there are many Polish descendants in Costa Rica."

"It seems that you know our opponent very well." Milu gave Pei Wei a slightly surprised look.

Pei Wei laughed loudly: "If you don't have two brushes, how dare you be your consultant, my coach Bora!"
