Regarding the player Gao Zheng, the new head coach of the Chinese team, Perlan, is in a bit complicated.

When he just took over this team, the Chinese team had already qualified for the Asian Cup, so he had no problem with his good results. Moreover, everyone was saying that Gao Zheng helped the team win this qualification.

Where does this put his head coach's face?

So he was also trying to prove himself that anyone could turn around without this team, but the head coach could not be missing.

As a result, the final round of the qualifiers lost 1:3.

Of course, it can be said that the Chinese team had already advanced in advance during this game, and the players did not need to work too hard in the game, so everyone was not very motivated. In addition, this game was a away game, so it was very difficult. So it was normal to lose 1:3 in the end.

And this is Perrin's first game to coach the team, and both the team and him also need a running-in period.

So the results of this game have no reference value.

But in the next three friendly matches, Perrin lost his face.

In the first friendly match, the Chinese team won 2:0 in Macedonia, but in the second friendly match, the same opponent played 0:0 with the opponent. In the latest friendly match, the Chinese team simply lost 1:3 to Mali.

He started to feel the pressure after coaching the team to win only one four games.

Originally, he thought that with his years of coaching in Europe and West Asia, coaching the Chinese team should not be too big a problem.

So even if the Football Association suggested to him that in order to facilitate Gao Zheng to integrate into the new team, the Chinese team did not call Gao Zheng in the warm-up match, he did not protest. He even felt that it was just right for him to consolidate his position in the team with the victory of these three games. When facing the Chinese team's current biggest star, it should be much easier to command.

So on the one hand, he felt deeply that Gao Zheng was a big shot, and on the other hand, he felt that this was a good opportunity to prove himself.

But now it seems that he screwed up.

He did not use these three warm-up matches to prove his ability, but instead made Chinese media full of doubts and dissatisfaction with the Football Association's coaching selection this time.

Although he couldn't understand Chinese, he knew that some media were questioning their coaching skills. They believed that although they won the French Cup and Ligue 1 championships in Lyon, with the level of Lyon at that time, winning the championship was mainly due to the team's strength, and he, the head coach, did not make much contribution. Moreover, from his career, he still had various failure experiences.

Some Chinese media also ridiculed him for "coaching in the West Asian League for many years and accumulating rich 'failure experience'."

For example, he went to West Asia to coach as early as 2004, but was dismissed after only four games with the UAE Al Ain team. Later, he returned to West Asia to coach in 2010, and they were all failed:

From 2010 to 2012, he coached the Koch team in the Qatar League, but his results were average.

He then coached the Qatar U22 national team, but was eliminated in the u22 Asian Cup qualifiers, and he was dismissed.

After class he coached Galafar, and only won two of his eight games and was dismissed.

He signed with Umsalal, but was dismissed again in the first three games of the 2013-2014 season.

Such a head coach who was dismissed for consecutive years due to poor performance has now become the head coach of the Chinese national team, which has caused the media and fans to question whether anyone in the Chinese Football Association has taken kickbacks and collected black money, which will make Perrin the head coach of the national team.

His successful experience in Lyon was six years ago, and modern football has discovered rapidly, and new tactics and new ideas are changing with each passing day. However, Perrin has been wandering in the quagmire of various failures for the past six years. What new things and progress can he bring to the Chinese team?

Frenchman Perrin felt for the first time how much pressure he had to bear in coaching this national team with the most populous country in the world... It was completely different from the pressure he faced in coaching Lyon and Marseille.

After all, when football, the world's number one sport, is combined with China, the world's number one country, even if the change is smiling, it will achieve geometric multiplication through population size.

Just as Perrin felt much pressure, Gao Zheng came back.

This player he had disliked before now seemed to be his life-saving straw.

Perlan didn't know what expression he should use to face Gao Zheng.

On the side of the training ground, in front of countless reporters and cameras, Perrin stretched out his hand to face Gao Zheng with a smile.

Gao Zheng quickly trotted two steps and held Perrin's hand.

"Thank you for your hard work," Perrin said in simple English.

"No, no hard work." Gao Zheng also replied in simple English.

During this process, the flash of the camera in the reporters' hands overshadowed the brightness of the sun, and during the day, people could feel that Gao Zheng and Perlan were shaken into snow-white by the overexposure of the flash.

But under the attack of this large number of strong lights, both of them kept smiling, as if the flash light did not exist at all.

After asking the reporters to take photos, Perlan pulled Gao Zheng and turned his back to the reporters: "For the first time I met, I think I should introduce myself to you, Alan Perlan, head coach."

Gao Zheng also introduced himself: "Gao Zheng, player."

Next, the translator entered the venue and helped the two people communicate further.

Perrin cared about Gao Zheng's journey and whether he had a good rest. He also talked about his situation at Atletico Madrid, cared about how Gao Zheng integrated into the team, encouraged Gao Zheng to continue to study Spanish, and strive to be able to communicate with his teammates normally in Spanish as soon as possible.

He told Gao Zheng that the most important thing about playing football in a strange country is not football skills, but language. When he heard that Gao Zheng was still staying in a hotel, he reminded Gao Zheng to find a house as soon as possible. Staying in a hotel is not a long-term solution. Only when life is stable can you perform better on the court.

Gao Zheng nodded and accepted all the advice from the head coach.

Although he was actually about to move out of the hotel, when he left Madrid to come to the Chinese national team, he entrusted his agent Viviano to contact the real estate agency to help see the house.

Seeing that Gao Zheng was quite respectful to him, Perrin quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little worried that this player was difficult to manage. Now, there was no problem in this regard.

Many people think that Gao Zheng is a very arrogant person and may not be easy to get along with. But this is a misunderstanding. Whether it is easy to get along with depends on whether it is easy to get along with. Nowadays, Gao Zheng is actually easy to get along with most of the time, as long as you don’t provoke him.
