Super Marshal

The cold is coming!

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

Since Perrin dismissed get out of class in early January and nearly 10,000 BJ fans went to the Football Association headquarters to petition, there has been a steady stream of news about Gao Han being appointed to coach the Chinese national team, but so far there has not been any strong evidence or credible media. The Shanghai Morning Post was the first to give reports.

And the evidence they gave was the photo on the front page.

The shooting location was at the training ground of the Shanggang team, but the focus was on a middle-aged foreigner wearing a peaked cap on the sidelines. Next to him stood a Chinese man in his forties. The two of them seemed to be observing the training ground from the sidelines. players on.

Anyone who is familiar with Gao Han can recognize at a glance that this middle-aged man with a peaked cap is Gao Han's right-hand man, the world's best goalkeeper coach Pedro Haro, who has trained Cech, Edwin van der Sar, Legends such as Cesar, Neuer, Courtois and De Gea are among the top goalkeepers in the world.

The Chinese man standing next to him also has a good background. Xiao Mu, the former head coach of the second team of La Liga giant Chinatown, was the main forward who won the Madrid Community Invitational Tournament for Chinatown more than ten years ago, and was also the main forward of that Community Invitational Tournament. top scorer.

But why did these two people appear in the training ground of the Shanggang team?

"According to reliable information obtained by reporters from insiders, their trip had only one purpose, to inspect the international player and goalkeeper Yan Junling of the Shanggang team. They were also accompanied by former international player Li Tie, and according to reliable information, Li Tie will be the new captain in the new term. He holds an important position in the national team management team."

"Obviously, Gao Han is finally here!"

The news quickly spread, not only attracting national attention on the Internet, but also media reporters.

Soon, all kinds of news and information were dug up.

It turns out that not only Pedro Haro and Xiao Mu have arrived in China, but Gao Han's core coaching team such as Sergio Garcia, Lorenzo Buenaventura and Steve Peters have also arrived. China, and started working one after another, but they were not paid attention to, and they were not noticed before.

If the Shanghai media hadn't dug up Pedro Haro this time, I'm afraid no one would have thought of paying attention to this area.

All the assistants are here, is Gao Han approaching?

Amid the divergent opinions, BJ's prestigious and authoritative media came forward to confirm the rumors.

Gao Han will be the head coach of the Chinese national team!

"According to the news obtained by reporters from various sources, Gao Han is very close to the national football coach, and this time he will lead his coaching team to serve in the Chinese national team. The annual salary of the coaching team alone has reached a sky-high price of 10 million euros after tax. , this will also be the highest salary ever given by the national football team."

"As for Gao Han's annual salary, according to information obtained by reporters from internal channels, Gao Han does not care about his annual salary. He strives for 10 million euros after tax for his team. As for himself, he said that even if he receives zero salary, he He is willing to coach the national team, which undoubtedly represents his love for Chinese football."

BJ Media also commented on this, believing that Gao Han's coaching of 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 it is from a technical and tactical perspective or from a personal influence, Gao Han is the top world-famous coach in today's football, especially in terms of offensive accomplishments. We believe he can bring some new changes to Chinese football."

"However, we must also consider that the current environment of the national football team is indeed quite bad. Even if we win the next two games, it will not ensure that the team can successfully qualify, so we should not be too harsh on Gao Han in terms of results. , even placing unrealistic high hopes.”

"In the past, we always said that the national team needs famous coaches, and we always called on Gao Han to coach the Chinese national team. But now, our call is becoming a reality, and we should give Gao Han and his team more confidence and patience. .”

As BJ's authoritative media broke the news, various news emerged one after another, and various details emerged one after another.

Marca, a well-known Spanish media, took the lead in confirming the news of Gao Han's return to coach the Chinese national team on its front page. It even stated that the two parties will formally sign a contract before the end of the month, and this time the Chinese Football Association will not put any performance pressure on Gao Han. The first contract will be signed directly into 2022.

In other words, the high cold will shoulder the heavy burden of impacting the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

"Not only that, the Chinese government and the Football Association also hope to invite Gao Han to serve as the general consultant of the plan to revitalize Chinese football. He will be fully responsible for all aspects including campus football, youth training, league, coach and referee training, etc., and oversee all aspects of affairs. Strive to build Chinese football into a world-class football team within 20 to 30 years."

Marca's deputy editor-in-chief Matayana expressed strong expectations for Gao Han's comeback in his column, believing that a super coach like Gao Han should stay on the football field. "I cannot see Gao Han on the field. I believe everyone will not be used to it.”

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

But Matayana also believes that there is no doubt about Gao Han's coaching ability, but the level of Chinese football is not high and the gap with the European leagues is very obvious. Whether the players can adapt to Gao Han's requirements is a big question.

As for Gao Han’s management and leadership skills, there is no need to say much. Chinatown has been able to defend the Champions League for two consecutive seasons. This season, it is unstoppable in La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League. It has just successfully defended the Club World Cup. All are enough to prove that Gao Han is unique in management.

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

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. In the short term, Gao Han's top priority still falls on the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

"Gao Han's comeback will inevitably direct the world's attention to the Asian World Cup qualifying Group C competition. China is currently ranked third, and the possibility of qualifying is very slim, but we should look forward to Gao Han's ability to come back to life. Because he has always been a coach who can turn bad things into magic."

After the Marca report, media around the world paid close attention, and countless media immediately sent representatives to China for interviews.

Gao Han's comeback is undoubtedly the top priority in world football in early 2016. Even the official websites of UEFA and FIFA have paid attention to it, especially FIFA, which personally called the Football Association to inquire. and understand the situation.

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

A report called "Ten Questions to the Chinese Football Association" quickly aroused the attention of the whole people. The ten questions were very sharp and pointed at the core of the problem. Can Gao Han get the coaching power he deserves in the national team?

As the media dug deeper, more and more details began to be gradually exposed, and many questions were answered.

The first is that the national team's management team will be reformed with Gao Han's arrival. 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, establishing Gao Han's role in the national team. Absolute authority and will not be subject to any administrative interference.

"According to reliable information, the Football Association promised that as the head coach of the national team, Gao Han will fully dominate everything about the team, including techniques and tactics, and uniformly manage the team's formation, selection and employment, bonus distribution, etc., and no one else will No right to interfere.”

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

"Insiders of the Football Association are also full of expectations for this management structure reform. They vividly gave it a new term, the head coach responsibility system under the leadership of the Football Association. This also fully reflects the Football Association's trust in Gao Han and its promotion Chinese football’s determination to reform.”

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

"Originally, Gao Han proposed that Li Tie, the former Chinese international player, should be the leader of the national team. However, after full consideration, the Football Association felt that Li Tie was familiar with football affairs and indeed qualified for the leadership position, but he still lacked at the administrative level, so it decided An executive committee member of the Football Congress will be arranged to serve as the national team leader, and Li Tiet will serve as the deputy team leader."

"Such a configuration has never been seen in any previous national team. In addition, Gao Han is directly responsible to the chairman of the Football Association. This shows that the Football Association has high hopes for Gao Han this time. When the time comes in the future, Gao Han will be fully After getting familiar with the domestic football environment and specific business, we will take charge of the Chinese football revitalization plan."

As the truth gradually emerged, not only the media around the world rushed to pay attention, but the domestic media and fans were even more excited. They felt that their voices were finally heard.

The time has entered the second half of the year, and everyone is waiting hard like a year.
