Gao Han is here!

In late January, after the Shanghai Morning Post published such a news on the front page, it quickly sparked heated discussions across the country and even caused a carnival among netizens on the Internet.

Since Perrin was dismissed in early January and nearly 10,000 Beijing fans petitioned at the Football Association headquarters, news about Gao Han being coached by the Chinese national team has been endless, but there is no strong evidence or credible media reports so far, and Shanghai Morning Post is the first.

The evidence they gave was the photo posted on the front page cover.

The shooting location was at the Shanggang team's training ground, but the focus was on a foreign middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap on the sidelines. Next to him was a Chinese man in his forties. The two seemed to be observing players on the sidelines.

If anyone who is familiar with Gao Han can recognize it at a glance, this middle-aged cap cap is Gao Han's right-hand man, the world's best goalkeeper coach Pedro Harrow, a legendary figure who has trained world's top goalkeepers such as Cech, Van der Sar, Cesar, Neuer, Courtois and De Gea.

The Chinese man standing next to him is also of great origin. Xiao Mu, former head coach of the second team of La Liga giants Chinatown, was the main striker who won the Madrid Community Invitational Championship more than a decade ago, and was also the best scorer in that community invitational tournament.

But how could these two appear in the training ground of Shanggang team?

"According to the reliable information obtained by the reporter from the inside, they had only one purpose for this trip, to inspect the national team and goalkeeper Yan Junling of Shanggang. At that time, former international team Li Tie was accompanied. According to reliable information, Li Tie will hold an important position in the new national team management team."

"It's obvious that Gao Han is finally here!"

The news quickly fermented, not only attracting the attention of the whole people on the Internet, but also media reporters rushed forward.

Soon, all kinds of news and news were dug out.

It turned out that not only Pedro Haro and Shaumu arrived in China, but Gao Han's core coaching teams such as Sergio Garcia, Lorenzo Buenaventura and Steve Pitts have also arrived in China and have started working one after another, but they are not paid attention to and have not been paid attention to before.

If it weren't for the Shanghai media poaching Pedro Harrow this time, anyone would probably have thought of paying attention to this area.

All the assistants have come, is Gao Han also approaching?

Among the many different opinions, Beijing's well-known authoritative media came forward to confirm the rumors from the outside world.

Gao Han will serve as the head coach of the Chinese national team!

"According to the news obtained by the reporter from many aspects, Gao Han is already extremely close to the head coach of the national football team. This time he will lead his coaching team to serve in the Chinese national team. The annual salary of the coaching team alone reaches a sky-high price of 10 million euros after tax, which will be the highest salary given by the national football team in history."

"As for Gao Han's annual salary, according to the news obtained by the reporter from internal channels, Gao Han doesn't care about his annual salary. He fought for his team for 10 million euros after tax. As for himself, he said that even if he had zero salary, he was willing to coach the national team, which undoubtedly represents his love for Chinese football."

Beijing media also commented on this, believing that Gao Han coaching the national team will undoubtedly be an epoch-making event.

"There is no doubt that the Chinese national team needs an excellent head coach. Whether from a technical and tactical perspective or personal influence, Gao Han is the top world-renowned coach in today's football world, especially his offensive achievements. We believe that he can bring some new changes to Chinese football."

"However, we must also consider that the current environment in which the Chinese national football team is indeed quite bad. Even if we win all the next two games, we cannot ensure that the team qualifies smoothly. Therefore, we should not blame Gao Han too much on the results, and even put unrealistic high expectations."

"In the past, we always said that the national team needed famous coaches, and we were always calling on Gao Han to coach the Chinese national team. Now, our appeal is becoming a reality, and we should give Gao Han and his team more confidence and patience."

With the revelations from authoritative media in Beijing, various news emerged one after another, and various details also surfaced.

The well-known Spanish media Marca took the lead in confirming the news that Gao Han’s comeback and coached the Chinese national team on the front page, and even stated that the two sides will officially sign the contract before the end of the month. This time, the Chinese Football Association will not put any pressure on Gao Han in any performance, and the first contract will be signed directly in 2022.

In other words, Gao Han will shoulder the burden of attacking the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

"Not only that, the Chinese government and the Football Association also hope to invite Gao Han as the general counsel for the revitalization of China's football program. He will be fully responsible for all aspects including campus football, youth training, leagues, coaches and referee training, and take charge of all aspects of affairs, and strive to build Chinese football into a world-class team within 20 or 30 years."

Matayana, deputy editor-in-chief of Maca, expressed strong expectations for Gao Han's comeback in the column, believing that a super famous coach like Gao Han should stay on the football field. "I believe everyone will not get used to it."

"Gao Han's comeback will definitely be the most exciting news in the world football world in 2016."

But Matayana also believes that Gao Han’s coaching ability is beyond doubt, but the level of Chinese football is not high, and the gap with the European League is very obvious. Whether players can adapt to Gao Han’s requirements is a considerable question.

As for Gao Han's management and leadership ability, there is no need to say much. Chinatown can defend the Champions League champion for two consecutive seasons, and this season it is unstoppable in La Liga, the three fronts of the King's Cup and the Champions League. It has just successfully defended the Club World Cup, which is enough to prove that Gao Han has unique features in management.

However, Chinese football has been in decline for a long time, and it is indeed worrying whether Gao Han can realize the revitalization plan.

However, Matayana has a close personal relationship with Gao Han. He also revealed that the so-called plan to revitalize Chinese football is just a long-term plan later. In the short term, Gao Han's top priority is still in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

"Gao Han's comeback will inevitably lead the world's goal to the C-group match of the World Cup qualifiers in Asia. China is currently ranked third and the possibility of qualifying is very slim, but we should look forward to Gao Han's ability to revive the dead, because he has always been a head coach who turns decay into magic."

After the report from Marca, media around the world were paying attention, and countless media immediately sent representatives to China for interviews.

Gao Han’s return was undoubtedly the top priority in the world football world in early 2016. Even the official websites of UEFA and FIFA have paid attention to it, especially FIFA, who called the Football Association in person to inquire and understand the situation.

But relatively speaking, domestic media are more familiar with and understand the situation of Chinese football, and they still ask more questions, that is, what kind of coaching environment can the Football Association give Gao Han?

A report titled [Ten Questions about the Chinese Football Association] quickly attracted the attention of the whole people. All ten questions were very sharp and pointed directly at the core of the problem. Will Gao Han get the coaching power he deserves in the national team?

As the media digs further, more and more details have begun to be exposed gradually, and many questions have been answered.

First of all, the national team's management team will be reformed with Gao Han's entry, and a new management team will be formed around Gao Han and the core coaching team. The Football Association will completely delegate power to Gao Han and the coaching team, establish Gao Han's absolute authority in the national team and will not be subject to any administrative intervention.

"According to reliable news, the Football Association promises that in the position of national team head coach, Gao Han will fully dominate everything in the team, including skills and tactics, and will uniformly manage the team's formation, personnel selection and employment, bonus distribution, etc. No one else has the right to interfere."

"This is also the contract management mechanism that Gao Han and his team have always adopted in the past. The reason why Gao Han can achieve good results in every team is that he can always monopolize the team's life and death power and establish the absolute authority of the head coach."

"The insiders of the Football Association are also full of expectations for this management organization reform. They vividly gave it a brand new term, the head coach responsibility system under the leadership of the Football Association, which fully reflects the Football Association's trust in Gao Han and its determination to promote the reform of Chinese football."

In addition to power, the team equipped by the Football Association for Gao Han also showed the highest level.

"Originally Gao Han proposed that he hoped that former Chinese international Li Tie would serve as the national team leader, but after full consideration, the Football Association felt that Li Tie was familiar with football affairs and could indeed be competent for the team leader, but he still lacked in administrative level. Therefore, he decided to arrange a Football Congress executive committee to serve as the national team leader, and Li Tie would serve as the deputy team leader."

"This configuration is unprecedented in any national team in the past. In addition, Gao Han is directly responsible to the chairman of the Football Association, which shows that this time the Football Association has high hopes for Gao Han. When the time is ripe in the future, after Gao Han is fully familiar with the domestic football environment and specific business, he will take over the Chinese football revitalization plan."

As the truth gradually emerged, not only did the media around the world compete for the attention, but domestic media and fans were even more excited, and they felt that their voices were finally heard.

Gao Han is here!

This time I'm really coming!

As time goes by late, everyone is waiting hard for the rest of the year.

Finally, on January 21, the official website of the Chinese Football Association officially announced that Gao Han and the Football Association completed all negotiation processes and officially became the new head coach of the Chinese national team.

At the same time, the Football Association also announced that it will officially hold a signing ceremony and media meeting in Beijing three days later, and welcome all media reporters from all over the world who care about Chinese football, as well as media reporters from home and abroad.

Once this news was announced, it quickly caused an uproar at home and abroad.

Finally the dust settled!

Gao Han is here!

The domestic public opinion was simply in a carnival, and everyone praised Gao Han's move to coach the national team, believing that this was the most correct and popular decision in history.

As for Gao Han coaching the national team, fans and public opinion generally treated Gao Han rationally. On the one hand, he was optimistic and firmly believed that as long as Gao Han was given time, he would definitely bring a qualitative leap to the national football team and Chinese football. But at the same time, they all said with disappointment that Gao Han came too late and it was difficult to revive the dead and lead the national football team to turn the situation around.

"The national football team's hope of advancing to the top 12 is very slim, but we still support Gao Han's coaching and strive to play the remaining two games. No matter what the results are, we can accept it."

"As long as Gao Han is here, we firmly believe that Chinese football will return to the World Cup in 2022!" nt
