Vol 3 Chapter 546: Sforza and Lombardo

?Brother, are you still used to coming to China? Zhuo Yang and assistant coach Siriyako Sforza embraced again.

Although I haven’t seen him for more than three years, Zhuo Yang and 38-year-old Sforza are indeed old acquaintances. When he was still in C-Class Maddie, Zhuo Yang's first world-class star in professional football was Sforza, the captain of ‘Red Devils’ Kaiserslautern. It was still in the quarterfinals of the German Football Association Cup, and it was also the first strong enemy encountered by the Six Musketeers. Later, after Zhuoyang led Maddie to the Bundesliga, he once dealt with Sforza and Kaiserslautern.

Sforza is a magical man. Not only has he played for Kaiser for ten years, he has experienced and participated in the'Red Devil Mythology', and he has also experienced great achievements in the career of first-line giants such as Bayern and Inter Milan.

Even more legendary is that in the three seasons of 02-05, Sforza was in critical condition in the league. As a player and interim coach, he led the old and broken Kaiserslautern safely ashore.

After the end of the 04-05 season, interim coach Sforza, who once again led Kaiserslautern to relegation in danger, bid farewell to his career at the age of 35 and chose to retire as full-time head coach. Three years of experience in the firefighting coach made him feel good, and the long-term battle deposited the old injuries and diseases that forced him to have to make such a decision.

But the chaotic Kaiserslautern club at that time did not have much recognition for Sforza, the three critical saviors, and did not value his ability to coach. The seniors were only willing to give him a youth team assistant coach or echelon. Coach's work contract. Sforza, who was neglected, turned and left Kaiser in anger, and returned to his hometown of Switzerland, becoming the head coach of the Swiss FC Lucerne.

A season later, Sforza led FC Lucerne to successfully return to Swiss Super. And this year, Kaiserslautern finally failed to escape the doom of ‘three things’. In the 05-06 season, they ranked third in the Bundesliga and dropped to the German second. And in that season, Kaiserslautern had two coaches, Genk and Wolfgang, who were both halfway under the ‘Crow Young’s Curse’. Without Sforza's miraculous redemption, Kaiserslautern is still squandering in Germany this year.

Sforza's excellent coaching performance was also caught by the Swiss giant Zurich. He became the new coach of Zurich in the summer of 2006 and led this famous family to win the Swiss Super League championship this season.

However, because of the unsatisfactory results in the league and the Champions League next year, the main reason is that there are serious differences in the management and management ideas with the senior management of Zurich. Sforza resigned from the head coach of Zurich Grasshopper at the beginning of this year and took over as the head coach of the Swiss U21 national team. However, because he failed to turn the tide in the European Youth Championship, Sforza failed to allow the Swiss U21 to score in the Beijing Olympics football match. This summer, he left again to print.

In fact, after receiving the news of the Chinese national team's selection, Sforza had an idea, and like Rijkaard, he was keenly aware of the key role Zhuo Yang will play in it. But when he was about to leave for Milan to discuss Zhuo Yang in detail, Sforza hesitated.

Although I had a relationship with Zhuo Yang at that time, after all, I have not been in contact again for more than three years. Zhuo Yang is not the same as before. Does he still remember that past? Moreover, although Sforza is very confident in his coaching ability, his resume is really a bit thin, and he can't take it a little bit. Can Zhuo Yang be worth it?

Hesitating again and again, when Sforza came to Milan in hesitation, he saw in the newspaper Zhuo Yang's statement in support of Rijkaard's interview. With a long sigh, Sforza stayed in Milan. After two days of thinking alone, he still visited Zhuo Yang.

Zhuo Yang was very pleased to see Sforza. He was very impressed by this amazing brother. Not only was Sforza the first world-class star he encountered in his career, he also recognized his coaching ability. If Sforza can get Rijkaard one step ahead, Zhuo Yang will be very willing to support him as the national team coach.

When Sforza euphemistically asked Zhuo Yang to introduce him to Rijkaard's coaching staff, Zhuo Yang was even more indispensable. No matter how much he appreciates Rijkaard, it is still unknown whether he can match up with the national team. Zhuo Yang needs a'spare tire' in his hand. Moreover, it is a bit ugly to say ‘mixed with sand’, but it’s a precaution to have a person introduced by myself in the coaching staff.

Rijkaard is indeed very good, he readily agreed to join Sforza. After a detailed discussion between the two, Sforza officially became a member of the coaching staff. He will be responsible for the collection and analysis of data and information and assist Jieshuai in tactical planning, and his physical reserve will also be under his control.

"I really like my new job and I like China." Sforza said to Zhuo Yang.

.

"Brother kidnapper, your spirit is good." Zhuo Yang and Artilio Lombardo greeted each other again.

Rijkaard is indeed very good. After accepting Sforza, he took the initiative to ask Zhuo Yang to help him find an assistant coach who can adjust the back line. Rijkaard has been coaching for many years, how can there be few defensive coaches on hand? This is clearly a move to get closer to Zhuo Yang, and also to show Zhuo Yang that he will not engage in a small circle of private kingdoms in the coaching staff.

Respect is worse than obedient! Zhuo Yang agreed, but he did not have contacts in this regard, so he consulted Robert Baggio, an official in the coaching department of the Italian Football Association. So, Brother Baggio recommended Lombardo to him.

To talk about the popularity of the entire coaching staff in China, in addition to head coach Rijkaard will count this Lombardo, because he was the main right-wing forward of the peak Sampdoria during the'small World Cup' period. With his bald head and unique running posture, Lombardo has a lot of fans among the older generation of Chinese fans.

The 43-year-old Lombardo's former football gangster ‘Crutch Meteor’, referred to as ‘Crab Kid’ for short. He has played for Serie A, Juventus, Lazio and other Serie A giants in his career. He has also drifted north of the Crystal Palace in the Premier League for two years. One of them followed the Crystal Palace to the League One. Tong Yi, general Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai became teammates.

The kidnapper had a coaching experience while playing for Crystal Palace. In the 97-98 season, the Crystal Palace club management experienced an “internal disturbance”. During the internal and external difficulties of the team, the player’s Lombardo was in danger, and he barely agreed to serve as the team’s player and Coach ~ www.readwn.com ~ However, the team's performance has not improved. After the season ended, Crystal Palace was relegated, and Lombardo also retreated from the position of part-time coach.

In 2002, 36-year-old Lombardo officially retired, and then became Sampdoria U19 coach, but a year later was fired because of poor performance. In the following years, Lombardo has coached several low-level small teams, with a year long and a few months, and he has no record of spiritual improvement. He also understands that he is not a head coach. Therefore, the brother of the kidnappers felt relieved to be an assistant coach.

Before being recommended by Baggio, Lombardo had just left the Serie B Legnano coaching staff, preparing to accept the invitation of his old friend and teammate Fausto Salsano to join the Italian U19 coaching staff. But it is clear that going to China will be a more interesting experience, Rijkaard and Pisarno are more appealing, and Baggio has a bigger face.

At the same time in Italian football, Lombardo had dealt with Zhuo Yang several times before. He had a good personal relationship with the group of Maldini. He had chatted with Zhuo Yang at several parties. Zhuo Yang called his kidnapper very early.

Atilio Lombardo will be responsible for defensive training in the midfield and backcourt in the coaching staff, as well as the development of defense awareness in the back line.
