Football: The immortal legend on the green field

The game ended suddenly in a way that no one expected.

Director Wu of the Sports Commission is not like other officials who are slow in doing things.

He immediately ordered the accompanying staff to call Gao Haiyang and arrange for the other personnel to leave, leaving only Tan Jing and Xia Yalong by his side, "Xiao Tan, Chairman Xia, I am stepping in to take over your duties!"

"We don't have much time left. Football is the world's number one sport. As a newly emerging power in the world, our country is also a sports power. We can't always achieve results in individual and agility events."

"In 96, our women's football team won the runner-up in the Atlanta Olympics. Now the strength of the women's football team is getting worse and worse, and the performance of the men's football team is even worse. The old revolutionary He Laozong was particularly concerned about the football industry in the s. In the s, the old man also proposed "starting football from childhood." From the first-class in Asia in the s to the second-class in Asia now, to be honest, the central government is extremely dissatisfied with the work of football."

"This is not only your responsibility, but also the responsibility of the Sports Committee. Today I have witnessed the rise of a new generation of rising stars, and I am excited. You must do your best to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and not waste your energy on internal friction. From now on, you must unify your thoughts, unify your opinions, and work together as one."

"I will be the boss for once, I hope you two can understand."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

"Director Wu, please give us your instructions. All of our comrades in the Football Association will definitely obey your instructions and will resolutely follow your instructions..."

The two bigwigs of the Football Association hurriedly expressed their opinions.

After criticizing the two Football Association bosses, Director Wu smiled and asked Gao Haiyang: "Xiao Gao! What do you think of the two Coach Yangs?"

"Let me put it this way! Under the same conditions, who can produce better results?"

"Tell the truth, don't be afraid. You are a professional, I want to hear your personal opinion."

Gao Haiyang thought for a moment: "As a German, Krauchen is rigorous, meticulous, and disciplined. He requires his players to work hard and pays great attention to the physical fitness of the players. According to his coaching philosophy, he hopes to build a team similar to the German national team. Such a national football team will face South Korea and Iran with the same style in Asia, and will not gain an advantage in the competition with Japan and Saudi Arabia. It will be even less competitive internationally. After all, our children grow up eating rice and white flour, which is very different from those European children who grow up eating beef."

"Mr. Haan has a thorough study of the Netherlands' total attack and defense. He focuses on the overall rhythm of the team's offense and defense. On this basis, he pays more attention to the addition of individual ability to the entire team. His coaching philosophy is more in line with the popular trend of modern football. He can absorb the strengths of others. But his shortcoming is that his personality is a bit extreme. As long as he encounters something he thinks is right, he will insist on his own opinion, which easily leads to confrontation and conflicts with others."

"Now, we have a group of talented players like Shen Bin in our national youth team. If we build the team according to Krauchen's method, it will erase some of their talents. I don't think it's appropriate."

Director Wu nodded, "Okay! I understand. Go and have a rest! I'm talking to the two Football Association leaders."

After the confused Gao Haiyang left, Director Wu had a conversation with the two Football Association leaders for a while, then left the Xianghe base and returned to the State Sports Commission.

The next day, the Football Association held an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, and all leaders above the middle level attended the meeting.

The Football Association made the following decision.

1: Decided to hire Mr. Ali Han as the head coach of the Chinese Olympic Team.

2: Establish a three-person leadership group for the National Youth Team, with Gao Haiyang as the group leader, and national team chief adviser Arihan and national youth team head coach Krauchen assisting Comrade Gao Haiyang in his work.

3: The formation of the National Youth Team is jointly undertaken by a three-person team, with on-the-spot command led by Krauchen, assisted by Gao Haiyang and Ali Han.

This statement shattered the rumor that the head coach of the National Olympic Team would be selected through a competitive recruitment.

After more than half a month of excitement, the new head coach of the National Olympic Team finally surfaced.

The progress of this teaching match also dispelled doubts within the Football Association about Ali Han's level.

All that remains is for the Football Association to sign a contract with the newly appointed Ali Han.

In fact, before Krauchen took over as the head coach of the national youth team, except for the national team, which had to sign a contract with foreign coaches, coaches at other levels did not have a contractual relationship with the Football Association. The relationship between coaches and the Football Association was an appointment system. The Football Association could appoint someone to a position as soon as it wanted.

The Football Association waved its hand again and said that someone would be laid off, and so-and-so was laid off again.

Such an unprofessional relationship means that the coaches’ treatment is not guaranteed and their positions are naturally insecure. The coaches’ enthusiasm cannot be fully exerted and the training effect can be imagined.

This actually made the Football Association suffer. Ying Tiesheng's sudden resignation was a big blow to the Football Association. If both parties signed a contract, the Football Association could have used it to restrict Ying Tiesheng. Ying Tiesheng is a smart man. He knows what's behind the people who support him. He has long wanted to leave this circle. If he stays in this circle, something will happen sooner or later.

Only those who are blinded by profit will be stubborn and think that what they do is very covert.

Just like our ancestors told us, if you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it.

The reason we haven't touched you now is that you haven't been fattened enough. How was Heshen of the Qing Dynasty's property confiscated?

Yin Tiesheng seized this point and escaped from this vortex. Your Football Association can easily let me go, and conversely, I can easily fire your Football Association.

Based on the interests of both parties, when Ali Han proposed to abolish the old contract and sign a new one, the Football Association only held a meeting and agreed.

There was no problem with the length of the contract, which lasted until the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Ali Haan became a free agent.

However, Ali Han demanded that no one in the Football Association except Gao Haiyang had the right to interfere with his work, and that no one should question the formation, employment, training, competition, tactics, etc. of the National Olympic Team, and that no one should impose the will of the superiors on him. He demanded that he had the absolute power to lead the team...

"This... Actually, we already knew this. We investigated his previous coaching experience, which is what Ali Han values ​​most." Although Xia Yalong was furious when he saw the drafted contract, Gao Haiyang still had to explain it to him. After all, he and Ali Han were already on the same boat. In this sense, his career as an official was Qiu Suhui's future.

"Most club head coaches in Europe have similar clauses in their contracts."

"Then change it! This is in China, not the Netherlands! China's situation is different. We can't just copy the European way of thinking. How can we improve Chinese football with European ideas? A great man once said: Adapt measures to local conditions. Adapt measures to local conditions, comrades! What does adapt measures to local conditions mean? Gao Haiyang, you should understand, right?"
