Mister Legend

Chapter 168
Three large characters "High Guidance" suddenly appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, and then glanced at the time at 16:58, the game was just over a few minutes ago, why did this call come?Li Mudi answered the call with great doubts, but just as he opened his mouth to say hello, he was interrupted by the very hasty words on the phone.

"Brother, I am your elder brother Gao, and time is limited, so listen to me first. In the next few days, there are likely to be football associations, even the General Administration of Sports and higher-level leaders looking for you, saying that they hope you can come back to take over as the coach of the national football team." Therefore, you should make preparations first, contact your agent and good friends in China, and listen to their suggestions, and you must not rush to agree. What I mean is... If the starting lineup of the game can't If you decide for yourself, try not to touch this seat. Well, I still have a lot of things to do here, we two brothers will talk later, take care!" After finishing speaking, the call came out from the receiver and was cut off The beep is broken.

Although the other party didn't say it directly, Li Mudi probably guessed it because of the hidden meaning of the words and the memory of the previous life. Director Gao is probably going to announce his resignation soon. It's really a sad day!The Turin coach, who was slightly moved, immediately turned around and went back to the video analysis room where he left not long ago. He turned on the computer and switched the video software to the Chinese CCTV sports channel. Check for the first time to see if the ending is really what you expected.

At 10:11 on October 23th, Chinese time, at the press conference after Uzbekistan’s World Cup qualifiers against China’s top 04 in Asia, he had just taken over the coach of the national team in early April this year and led the team. The national football team, which has almost been thrown off the cliff, has officially announced its resignation as the head coach of the national team, under the guidance of Gao Hongbo, who successfully qualified in the first stage of the world preliminaries with amazing performance and unfathomable luck.In front of nearly a hundred domestic and foreign reporters, he said calmly with that expressionless zombie face: "Before, I had in-depth exchanges with the leaders of the Football Association, and the senior management also believed that there was a problem with the current poor performance of the team. , The responsibility should be borne by the head coach. I understand this. So the game is over, and I announce my resignation. I would like to thank the working team for their support, and also thank all the Chinese fans for their perseverance in the Chinese men's football team. Finally, I wish The Chinese men's football team is getting better and better, and I don't feel very comfortable right now, so I'll leave first." The news media and the Internet public in China were suddenly in an uproar.

The resignation after the loss was basically expected by everyone, but what Gao Hongbo said at the press conference reflected some inside information, "The high-level executives also believe that...the responsibility should be borne by the head coach. I Understand this meaning" No matter how you understand it, you will come to the conclusion that he voluntarily resigned because of the pressure from above, which has aroused heated discussions in domestic football.There is a big difference between taking the initiative to take the blame and being framed to take the blame. Originally, only a small number of supporters who supported the high guidance expanded to more than [-]% of all fans in just half an hour. Various forums and sports websites are full of messages scolding the men's football and the Football Association, such as "a real man, take the initiative to take the blame, it's not you who can't do it, it's the national pig who can't handle it", "run away, Chairman Cai doesn't have the guts to leave by himself ?”, “The Chinese Football Association is all XXX!” All of these received likes from thousands of fans and netizens.

But who cares about the opinions and attitudes of ordinary people?The work of pouring dirty water is always rushed by those who are not as good as dogs. Just half an hour after the resignation incident, CCTV sports channel football commentator Shao Shengyi blatantly clamored on Weibo: "The game became the scene of a car accident. , just say 'I have to leave the coaching position of the national team due to physical reasons', and it's over? Isn't this just a traffic accident?" But then, he deleted this Weibo and posted again: " It feels like a big wave of keyboard warriors is on the way again, so let’s do it~ Wash and wash, life is still going, life is not easy, good night.” This kind of wanting to be a biao, but also want to set up a memorial archway will naturally arouse netizens. Furious.

Of course, there are those who are courageous and not afraid of spraying. Yan Qiang, the former vice president of "Sports Weekly", vice president of sports media, and now a well-known sports media person, wrote on Weibo: "Even if he brought the Tianchao team in March Hope, even if he beat South Korea in his first coaching, I still have to say that Gao Hongbo is a deserter." And there is no sign of deletion.Look at this tone, domineering!It seems that if Director Gao does not resign, he will fully support him. This is completely contrary to the analysis he made a few days ago when he pointed the finger at Gao Hongbo for various problems in the national football team.Of course, there are corresponding means to deal with "tough guys". Some netizens picked up Vice President Yan's past experience. There are a lot of self-hyping and kneeling to the leaders of the Communist Association. Naturally, many fans "greetings".

In addition, CCTV football commentator Liu Jiayuan also updated Weibo shortly after, in which the sentence "I have always been an opponent of high-level guidance" received tens of thousands of reprimands from the country, and according to gossip, in the next month, There are many dogs in China named "Liu Xyuan"...

After Li Mudi found out about these incidents, he directly instructed Guinness and his domestic agent, Lin Zixu, not to accept interviews with these people in the future, and asked the latter to notify the CCTV sports channel that there would be no news related to the Turin coach in the future. Programs and articles should not have any relationship with these people.In other words, if the other party adopts it, the two football commentators will say goodbye to the Serie A live broadcast every weekend with the Turin team playing, and the "Sports Weekly" is better, because Yan Qiang has been away for many years, although occasionally still I will contribute articles to them, but there is no relationship other than human affection.

China Football has been unable to make progress for decades, which is caused by many reasons, but among them, these unscrupulous media and media people without the slightest integrity are definitely not able to escape the blame.Although Li Mudi does not agree with the theory that some netizens said, "You can go up if you can, but if you can't, don't be a BB".But he would not agree with a group insider who knows the inside story of the matter but is willing to become a minion of some organization or even an individual, to randomly pour dirty water on a good coach who has no credit and hard work.Although Guines said after knowing his idea, doing so would leave a very bad impression on the two most powerful media organizations in China, and it may have a negative impact on the image of the Turin coach in China and future publicity. It has a very adverse impact, and once this kind of request is rejected, it is really irreversible, but obviously unable to convince the stubborn Li Modi, he had to sigh and start thinking about how to minimize the negative impact of this incident.

For Li Mudi's wanton interference with normal work, CCTV, the largest media in China, would naturally not accept it willingly, and contacted the party in Italy in the shortest possible time to find out the specific reasons for the incident.First, Zhu Xiaoyu, who had a close relationship with him, called to ask the specific reason, and then Fang Gang, the interim deputy director of the sports channel, personally communicated with the Turin coach. After Gao directed his personal evaluation behavior after class, he really couldn't laugh or cry for a while.If other people threatened CCTV in this way, they would definitely be considered crazy or be ignored directly. However, Li Mudi is the face of the sports world today, and has very close contact with the TV station. Sometimes he has to accommodate each other in order to cooperate. .And because the former director Jiang Heping just resigned after the Rio Olympics not long ago, the former deputy director Zhang Xing even retired directly, and the new leader has not been formally appointed, and there is no one who can really make decisions in the station, so Fang Gang had no choice but to temporarily Agreed to transfer Poet He to the Serie A broadcast program.Fortunately, at this time, CCTV Sports Channel still has the rights to broadcast the Premier League, Bundesliga and Champions League, and there is no shortage of local arrangements, which calmed down the turmoil.As for the future development of the situation, it will not come to a conclusion until the new leader officially takes office.

Li Mudi, who put the matter aside for the time being, tried to contact Director Gao the next day, wanting to have a good chat with him, but the other party's cell phone was turned off.The domestic media is full of various analyzes and inside stories, which seem to be very lively, but in fact there is nothing dry about it, which makes the Turin coach who is far away in Italy feel confused.Just when he put his main thoughts back on the club's daily training, Zhang Zixu from China called and informed him that the Tianchao Football Association would hold a press briefing at 13:16 on the [-]th, and leave a message about the current situation of the national football team. I communicated with the media, if Li Modi has time, I can pay attention to it at that time, it seems that I will skip work again.

That morning, the team coach gave everyone a half-day off. After all, several players who returned from the national team have some physical problems, and the next round of the league is a day or two later than the normal date. At this time, a little rest Once there is no problem.After going to the club office building to have a morning meeting with several members of the coaching staff, Li Moody directly returned to the apartment in the Fiat car rented by Forsina.Since she removed her disguise and moved back to the apartment outside, she had to be harassed by paparazzi on the way and at the door of the house. Fortunately, Forsina was tall and fierce, and she was very deterrent to outsiders. The Turin coach can barely answer a few questions that are not too sensitive, and then he can sit on the sofa in the house smoothly.

Guinness and Del Pino have come here ahead of time. The former lives in a nearby hotel, while the latter rents a smaller apartment not far away. After all, he spends most of his working hours with Boss. Ercina temporarily resides in the guest bedroom here.While the four were drinking coffee and "standby", the Spanish agent pretended to be casual and asked: "Li, a friend of mine from the Tianchao called this morning, and he was entrusted to ask you Are you interested in the head coach of the national football team..." There was a pause here, and then after taking a look at the Turin coach who was still expressionless, he continued: "I answered him that you mentioned that you have just taken over Turin now, and the situation is not yet clear. It’s very serious, and you need to put all your energy into the club. But the other party didn’t say he was dead, and he should still want to talk to you directly. I guess it should be in the next few days, and you have to keep your mobile phone with you at all times.”

Li Mudi had no interest in taking over the national football team. After experiencing the forced resignation of Director Gao and those few words of advice, it is even more impossible to go to that muddy water. Since he has expressed this point of view to Guinness many times before, so There is no response here, because everyone understands that there is nothing to talk about in this matter.The reason why he didn’t carry the other two people behind his back was because Del Pino was responsible for sorting out the relevant information of the Turin coach when he was working in the Spanish headquarters, and he knew about these things that were not classified; Apart from Italian, I only know a few simple words of Spanish, and I learned it temporarily. Although I use my free time to study every day, I can’t understand a word of what they are saying at my current level. There is absolutely no need to worry that he will leak the secret. .

The time soon came to ten o'clock in the morning. At this time, it was still in the European summer time. The time here was 6 hours behind the capital, and it happened to be 16 o'clock in the afternoon. The video software that had been adjusted on the Internet began to broadcast live. Start this press briefing.The folk activities of the Celestial Dynasty are always not punctual, but the official organization is quite reliable. The camera cuts to the scene on time. The main leaders of the Football Association, Cai Zhenhua, and the Executive Vice Chairman of the Football Association, Zhang Jian, sat on the rostrum in turn, and then the host announced The meeting officially begins.Chairman Cai has indeed grown old in recent years, and his hair has turned white. Although it can be guessed that it may be due to exhaustion and exhaustion, but in terms of the results and current situation of the national football team, there are really few people who sympathize with him. They are all continuing. Yan, Xie Shiqi's slogan called him out of class.The meeting itself did not have any meaningful content. After Zhang Jian issued a report that "the leaders of the Football Association listened to Gao Hongbo's game plan before the game, but only gave suggestions on the starting candidates, and did not force intervention". The reporter's questions are all "childcare" arranged before, and they are all under the control of the Football Association.

The only thing worthy of attention is that at the end of the briefing, Zhang Jian said about the selection of new coaches: "The selection of coaches will draw on past experience and lessons, and will search for excellent coaches who are familiar with Chinese and Asian football. Whether it is a Chinese coach or a foreign coach is not the key. Only excellent coaches have the possibility of becoming the new head coach. The specific criteria are the same as the previous coach selection mechanism. The technical committee is used as the team as the coach selection framework, and the new coach is selected as professionally as possible. Coach." It's as if he didn't say anything, it's purely for teasing.

A day later, Li Mudi received a call from China during his lunch break. After coping with it in a few words, he knew that the day when Lippi took office was not far away.
