Chapter 1099 Alpine expectations
September 7, Daxing, Beijing.
Dozens of well-known domestic media gathered in Chinatown Training Center to witness the unveiling of the campus football coach training center.
After Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy visited China last year, under the witness of the supreme leader, the two sides formally signed a memorandum of understanding on football cooperation between China and Spain. The two sides will carry out exchanges and cooperation in many areas, including coach training.
Chinatown coach training is also the best in China. Every year, it trains a batch of outstanding students for itself and domestic clubs. Many of the best are also arranged to study and intern in Europe.
But today's game is a bit different. According to the campus football plan launched by the government last year, the Ministry of Education has carried out comprehensive cooperation with Chinatown in order to promote the construction of the school football coach team and improve the football teaching level of school coaches, that is, physical education teachers, and will arrange more than 200 campus football coaches to go to Spain in batches for training and study.
Chinatown's youth training level in Europe is obvious to all, and its cooperation with campuses around Madrid and community football schools is also quite close. These 200 campus football coaches will enter Beijing Chinatown Training Center in batches for one-week training, and then go to Spain for training, study and inspection.
The purpose of the Ministry of Education is to learn from Spain's advanced campus football culture and student football training courses to improve the level of campus football training.
From the Ministry of Education to the General Administration of Sports to the Football Association, and then to Chinatown, Gao Han personally returned to Beijing from Madrid to attend the unveiling ceremony. Representatives of the Spanish Football Association were accompanied by the Spanish Ambassador to China, and the Spanish Ambassador to China also attended the scene.
The entire unveiling ceremony was hosted by Xiang Tianming. He first introduced the specific situation of the training center to all the media and guests present, as well as the process of campus football coach training, including specific training courses in Beijing and to Spain.
Needless to say, when you arrive in Spain, you are the most professional campus football training experts in Chinatown and even the entire European football world. Even in China, experts hired by Chinatown are provided with targeted training for coaches.
It can be said that Chinatown has made careful preparations for this cooperation.
The head of the Ministry of Education also expressed his affirmation and support for Chinatown's work, and also gave a high evaluation of Chinatown's major, believing that Chinatown has made indelible contributions to the development of Chinese football and campus football in the past few years.
At the same time, he also said that the training of more than 200 campus football coaches is just the beginning, and there will be more in-depth and all-round cooperation in the future. He hopes that Chinatown can continue to contribute to the development of campus football.
The General Administration of Sports and the Football Association also attached great importance to it. Deputy Director Cai personally attended and spoke, highly praised the role and contribution of Chinatown, and promised that the Football Association would provide support to the best of its ability.
Gao Han sat down the whole time, and Lin Guoping spoke on behalf of Chinatown. In this regard, he was obviously much better than Gao Han and he was speechless.
But after the unveiling ceremony, media reporters focused on Gao Han and Deputy Director Cai.
The first topic to be affected is the change of coaches in the national football team.
…………
…………
"To be honest, I don't think changing coaches is a suitable decision now."
Gao Han had already expected to be blocked by media reporters when he decided to return to China to attend this unveiling ceremony, so he had already prepared a series of response words. Just now, he had a very in-depth and long-term communication with Deputy Director Cai, and clearly understood the meaning of the General Administration of Sports and the Football Association.
To be honest, he was convinced by Deputy Director Cai.
It is easy to make a decision to change the coach, but what about the consequences of changing the coach?
First of all, Perrin. According to the contract signed by both sides, it was the 18-year-old Russian World Cup. Now there has only been two rounds of the World Cup qualifiers. In the first round, he defeated Bhutan 6-0 away. There is no reason to change coaches now.
If you really want to change, it will be the change of Japan, which draws Singapore at home. Which is the turn of the Chinese national team?
If you change your coach now, you will definitely not be able to avoid unprofessional titles, and it is equivalent to telling everyone bluntly that the Football Association is still the same Football Association, and if you lack patience and become addicted to changing your coach, it will definitely make more people's hearts cry.
It is absolutely unfair to Perrin, and may even have to pay Perrin a large amount of breach of contract by unilaterally tearing down the contract. At that time, how will domestic fans view the Football Association?
Gao Han himself also has a deep sense of this, because Pochettino and Zidane had encountered problems in their performance back then, and many fans kept calling for a change of coaches, but the club finally withstood the pressure and gave the head coach support and trust. Everyone saw the final result.
Of course, Gao Han's meaning is not to conclude that Perrin can succeed like Pochettino and Zidane, but to believe that the Football Association should show an attitude and should not be swept by public opinion. This will not only give Perrin a more relaxed coaching environment, but will help improve the team's situation. Even if he really changes coaches in the end, he will be more friendly to the docking party.
Just like Manchester City, after the high cold, Ancelotti coached for many years but never won the Champions League again, and even his performance in the league was not stable. However, Manchester City still gave Fatty An and won a reputation, and finally invited Guardiola this summer.
On the other hand, Chelsea and Abramovich are addicted to changing coaches and lack patience. Which famous coach is willing to go?
"Even now, I still think that Perrin is a capable head coach, but he has encountered problems and troubles that all head coaches will encounter. But I want to say that as of now, his performance in the national team head coach position is still very good."
"Of course, it's really a pity that Zero-Zero was tied by Hong Kong, but sometimes football matches are like this. You obviously have the advantage, but you are a little bit less than the goal. We lack some luck."
Gao Han later continued to say that what the national team needs to solve is the offensive problem, and weak offensive is a big problem for this national team. He believes that Perrin should solve this problem as soon as possible.
Of course, Gao Han would not make any public statements to the public.
For example, he believes that some of Perrin's actions after the Asian Cup were indeed a bit too far, and his mentality should be somewhat unbalanced. Deputy Director Cai also apologized to Gao Han in private and no longer hired psychological experts from Chinatown. This was proposed by Perrin, and the Football Association basically agreed. As for the reason, Gao Han could understand.
If he was the team's head coach, he might have done so.
Of course, there must be some problems between the players and the Football Association. Domestic media like to add fuel to the fire, making small things big, which makes it seem like Perrin must be dismissed.
Deputy Director Cai insisted on the principle that he would not doubt the use of people, but he did not use doubts. Although he did not personally participate in the selection of coaches, he trusted the vision of the selection of coaches. Since he chose Perrin, he should insist on giving trust. As for success or failure, no one knows.
At the end of the interview, when media reporters suggested that if the national football team really had no choice but to be dismissed and whether Gao Han was willing to take over the national team, Gao Han called on the media and fans to work together to help Perrin overcome difficulties and play the World Cup qualifiers, rather than to put a demerit in the wrong.
"To be honest, as a Chinese, I sincerely hope to see Perrin be able to fulfill this contract to 2018 as the coach of the national football team. No matter what he, the coaching staff, or the Football Association, have any needs, I am willing to provide all the help within my ability."
It is obvious that Gao Han hopes that Perrin can coach until 2018, which means that Perrin leads the national football team to successfully compete for the World Cup and the national football team will return to the World Cup stage.
I believe this is not only Gao Han’s expectation, but also the expectation of all fans who truly love Chinese football.
…………
…………
Perhaps Gao Han's on-site appeal took effect. Most media reported Gao Han's remarks and published them word by word in the newspaper, especially many responsible and well-known media, which made detailed statements.
Domestic professionals and fans have different attitudes towards Gao Han's interview, but they have to admit that it is indeed a bit over the past when they have changed their coach after only two rounds of the World Cup qualifiers.
Every team coached by every head coach will encounter some problems. Perrin's national team did show some bad signs in this period, but if Perrin is fired, it is obviously a very unprofessional way to deal with it.
On the second day after Gao Han's interview went out, the Chinese national football team defeated the Maldives 3-0 in Shenyang.
Gao Han still did not come to the scene in person, but watched the game through live TV in Beijing. The national football team's offense was as bad as ever. In this game, Perrin was unable to even organize an organized offensive idea.
But no matter what, as a professional coach, Perrin won in terms of results.
After watching the live TV broadcast, Gao Han once again posted a ball comment on Weibo. He believes that this national team has made considerable adjustments compared to the Asian Cup half a year ago. After a long period of running-in, there are still many mistakes in cooperation and the court has not been able to play a skillful and smooth offensive thinking. This is a big problem.
Three goals were scored, one was the opponent's mistake, and two were corner goals. However, in the positional battle, the Chinese national football team failed to score goals through the team's cooperation, and the entire offensive system was indeed unreasonable.
At the same time, Gao Han also raised objections to the home court choice and Shenyang's venue, believing that the Football Association has not done its best in logistics, and using such a stadium to serve as the home court of the national football team is simply unacceptable.
In addition to coaches and the Football Association, Gao Han also criticized the internationals, believing that they were not prepared for these two games, from Bhutan to Hong Kong to Maldives, there were three games, and the internationals were not ready yet, which is indeed a problem.
Gao Han's remarks can be said to be the top 30 boards each, but they do basically tell the current situation of the national team. Both the media and the fans basically agree with Gao Han's judgment.
The problems of the national football team are not just those of Perrin and the coaching staff, but also of various problems for the Football Association and international players.
But at the end of the ball review, Gao Han also said that the result of two wins and one draw in three games is not unacceptable, but the key game in the top 40 matches is the next away game in Qatar.
While the national team beat the Maldives three to zero, Qatar, the top competitor of this group, also defeated Hong Kong, China, 3 to two away, ranking first in the group with three consecutive victories. According to the rules of the top 40, the first in the eight groups and the best four groups advanced to the top 12.
Gao Han, who has been to Qatar for training many times, said that Qatar's strength is not bad, and the national football team must pay enough attention to it and strive to escape from the away game. As for the next game between Bhutan, Hong Kong, and Maldives, the national football team must do their best to score points.
Chapter completed!
