Chapter 5 Conversation with the magpie leader
.On June 15, 2005, a news first launched by ESPN spread throughout the football world. Newcastle United signed a three-year contract with the hot Chinese coach in Europe, with Mr. Yang as the team's new head coach.
The Times later commented: The magpies dyed red, the youngest Premier League coach from China.
"The most impressive Newcastle Club, founded in 1881, is its long history, but we should not only applaud their uniqueness and courage to try and try. After last year's 14th league, the club's management welcomed a championship-level coach for the team. Like Chelsea's Jose Mourinho, we look forward to the Chinese nicknamed "Magic Young" in Belgium, bringing new hope to the Magpies at the St. James Park Stadium. We look forward to witnessing the tests that Mr. Yang has endured in the Premier League and wishing him good luck.
Yang became the youngest coach in the Premier League at the age of 28. He surpassed the record held by former Welsh international Chris Coleman, who was 33 years old when he took over Fulham in May 2003."
"Mr. Mourinho, can you evaluate the newly appointed coach of Newcastle?"
"Who is he?" (I deserve to be a madman.)
"Sir Ferguson, can you please tell me what Newcastle thinks of using a Chinese coach?"
"Okay, I like it." (Sir Freud believes that Newcastle is no longer a threat.)
"Mr. Wenger, what do you think about Newcastle's change of coach?"
"I'm very interested in Valleheim's Vermalen, a very talented player." (Answers are not answered.)
"Mr. Moyes, have you learned about that Chinese coach through his Chinese player Li Tie?"
"No, I'm still on vacation." (I haven't seen Li Tie for a long time.)

In the office of the Chinese Football Association in Beijing, a group of people from the Chinese Football Association who received the news held a meeting of middle-level cadres again. Xie Yalong covered his hip muscles and turned around in the conference room. Nan Yong, Yang Yimin, Wei Shaohui and others next to him also looked like poker faces.
After Shen Xiangfu finished the World Championships in 2003, the first coach of the National Youth Team that the Football Association thought of was Yang. However, Yang put on airs and talked about the conditions with the Football Association. The Chinese Football Association always negotiated with others, and when was the turn of the head coach to show off. In the end, the coach of the National Youth Team fell on the head of the German Clauchen.
Alihan was dismissed in 2004, proving the Dutch coaching strength. The leaders of the Football Association once again thought of Mr. Yang, who was in the limelight, and the rejection he received this time became more firm. Mr. Yang's open letter stated that "he will not consider coaching any national team in China for the time being." At the same time, the third young master of Valleheim, led by Dong Fangzhuo, said that he would not participate in the training camp of the Chinese national team for the time being. This incident caused an uproar in China, and many fans could not understand why Mr. Yang and Mr. Dong Fangzhuo were unwilling to play for the country? But most people were on Mr. Yang and others' side. During this period, the Chinese character "pig" once again had an inexplicable relationship with all kinds of people in the Chinese Football Association.
In 2005, when Mr. Yang left Valleheim, the leaders of the Chinese Football Association thought of him again. Should he be faced or acted as shameless as Liu Bei? Between the entanglement and the choice, the news of Mr. Yang's signing of the contract came quickly.
Oh! What are you doing for food! At this critical moment of preparing for the Olympics, the 2005 World Youth Championship, the 2006 Doha Asian Games... Why can't you even handle a young man? What will public opinion say this time?
What do you say? We are stupider than pigs and slower than turtles? Wei Shaohui rolled his eyes and thought to himself.
"Leader, don't be angry, this problem can be controlled. Isn't it just the matter of the head coach of the National Olympic Team? We just need to give the team more support." Nan Yong said, "Arranging two friendly matches to let the National Olympic Team appear and win beautiful points. The media will be over."
Yang Yimin: "Yes, yes. This method is quite useful. Find a few famous pens and just pass by it."
Nan Yong: "Also, leader, I think this is our opportunity. Going to Belgium to do Dong Fangzhuo's work and let them serve the country is also a great achievement."
Wei Shaohui: "Leaders can respect the virtuous and the inferior, bend and stretch, and work tirelessly for the national team. They can write a lot of books."
Xie Yalong walked around the office for a few more times and sat on a chair.
"Just do what you said. Arrange the itinerary for me. Let's discuss the establishment of the 2008 National Olympic Team."
On July 4, 2005, a news came from China that made Mr. Yang shake his head: Zhu Guanghu and the national team coaching team Li Shubin, Xu Tao and two giants of the Football Association Xie Yalong and Yang Yimin had a secret talk in Xianghe. At the meeting, the three national team composition plans submitted by the Football Association Technical Committee officially met with Zhu Guanghu: a, the national team was formed mainly with the 2008 Olympics; b, one team and two groups (national team and national Olympic team); c, the two teams tied. Xie Yalong and Yang Yimin also held a meeting with the national team coaching team to discuss the composition of the 2008 Olympic team. After repeated discussions, a large national team was established, which was fully controlled by the national team head coach Zhu Guanghu, which was basically a foregone conclusion.
You just "do it" to see how long you can struggle?

On a sunny afternoon, Mr. Yang drove his Peugeot to Hiller's farm villa, a standard British-style building, passing through the courtyard path.
Shearer stood at the door and smiled and stretched out his hand to Master Yang.
"Welcome to come here."
“Very honored.”
Hiller let Master Yang into the hall, and the carved sofa in the spacious living room exuded the fragrance of wood. The butler sent two cups of coffee and consciously stepped back.
"Coach Yang, how long has it been in England?"
"It's less than two weeks."
"Do you still feel used to it?"
"Fortunately, I didn't expect that the city that was famous for the coal mines could now be transformed into a beautiful tourist city."
"Yes, every day changes, every day is different. Let's talk about Newcastle."
“Where to start?”
Hiller put the coffee cup aside and carefully looked at the young coach in front of him. It was not annoying, always smiling, fluent and clear in words, and elegantly like a traditional British aristocrat. What kind of person are you? Hiller hoped to look out the window, a pair of magpies built a nest on the big tree in the yard, chirping and chirping.
"Tell me, what you plan for the team, maybe I can give you some ideas."
Master Yang smiled. Shearer in front of him was very close and far away. The legendary shooter who raised his right arm to run whenever he scored a goal on the TV sat in front of him, had coffee with him and talked to him. Everything was like a dream.
Mr. Yang said seriously: "The team needs a major operation."
Hearing this, Hiller couldn't help but become serious. This Chinese coach is either a naive idiot or does not understand British traditions. How easy is it to perform surgery on this Newcastle? That Shepard is not something you can match.
Mr. Yang ignored Hiller's expression and continued: In terms of personnel, the current players are the main players, and we need to add personnel in the back and forward lines. I think some players who are not disciplined or do not meet my requirements can let them leave."
"Who are you going to clean up? What if I can't meet your requirements?" Xier stared at Master Yang.
Master Yang said without fear: "Everyone is the same. If you can't do it, you have to leave!"
Hiller smiled: "Haha, let's continue."
Mr. Yang did not smile: "From tomorrow, I will call the players on the team one by one, tell them what I think, and give them enough time to think about it. Should I return here after they are on vacation?"
"oh?……"
"The next league preparation stage will be a round of screening. In the end, those who pass the exam stay and those who fail the exam leave."
"How to determine whether to pass or fail?"
"Use data and attitude. My data management experts will make scientific data evaluation reports for each player. My psychological counselor will make psychological profiles for each player. I need my players not only to have a strong body, but also to have a champion heart."
"Oh?" Shearer first heard that things like "data evaluation reports" and "psychological profiles" will be used in football training.
"The next job is to keep working hard towards the champion!" Mr. Yang smiled again.
Papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa
"So I'm here." Mr. Yang. "Mr. Sheer, you are the attending physician for this operation."
Hiller said again, didn’t you say that you could even clean me? Why did it become so fast?
"I know you want to be a coach after retiring, so why don't you start now?" Mr. Yang showed a pointed tail.
"How should I understand what you mean?"
"I want to ask you to be my assistant coach, I don't know what you think?"
Hiller lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said simply:
Chapter completed!
