Super Marshal

The biggest difference between fans and professionals is that fans can scold coaches and players when they lose, but professionals cannot. They must analyze the reasons in depth. Why did they fail? How to avoid failing again?

This is what is called a system.

Every professional football club has its own operating system, which is like a spider web. Players, coaching staff, staff, management, software and hardware facilities, etc. are all nodes in this spider web. The difference is that Some nodes connect all directions and are very important, while some nodes are insignificant.

A professional football match is like two spider webs, a collision between two systems to see who breaks them first.

Many fans will find it strange, why is Chinatown selling out every year but still maintaining such good results? Even last summer, for the first time, most of the core players were sold and cashed out for one billion euros. However, this season, they still maintain considerable competitiveness in La Liga and the Champions League?

The reason is simple. The club already has a very complete scientific system from the management, operation to technical levels.

After the meritorious coach Zidane resigned, his position was replaced by Valverde. After the core players left the team, their positions were gradually replaced by other players. As long as there is a little running-in, the entire system can still operate quickly. .

On the other hand, Manchester United has invested so much money in the years since Ferguson left the team, but why has its performance never improved?

The reason is simple, they need to rebuild the entire system.

In the Chinatown system, the head coach is undoubtedly an important node, but even more important than the head coach is the technical director. Behind him is the entire technical team, including scouts, first team, youth training and other aspects. The club has a A complete and flexible organizational structure to maintain the flexible operation of the team.

On the other hand, like Manchester United, Ferguson has been coaching the Red Devils for decades, and his influence has penetrated into all aspects of Manchester United, including business operations. To some extent, even the CEO has to listen to Ferguson's opinions.

Is this a good thing?

not necessarily.

The advantage of this way of operation is that Ferguson can build a whole team according to his own wishes, but the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, once Ferguson makes a mistake in his decision-making, it will directly lead to the total loss of the club, not to mention the burden that Ferguson will bear. The pressure will be enormous.

Will the turf be replaced at the training ground? What to change? Will the players be able to play? What conflict occurred in the locker room? Which facilities are broken? How is the hotel environment for away games? Do the players identified by the technical team meet the team's requirements?

Questions like this all need to go through Ferguson.

If Manchester United's internal operating system is a spider web, then Ferguson is the core node of this web. Every node in the team must be linked to the core node for this web to operate effectively.

Therefore, once this core node is removed, all nodes will be confused and have no idea how to operate.

At this time, you will find that Manchester United suddenly no longer wants to buy people. The team lineup that could have won the championship suddenly cannot perform at the same level. After Pochettino, who originally had high hopes for coaching, the team invested huge sums of money. As a result, But still couldn't get the effect...

In the final analysis, Pochettino's role is to reshape Manchester United's system, transforming the original alternative and unreasonable operating system with Ferguson at the core into a modern management system with multiple structures that flexibly alternate.

This is true for Ferguson's Manchester United, and it is also true for Wenger's Arsenal.

Gao Han's coaching career has been full of reconstruction, so he knows very well that systems like Manchester United and Arsenal are unhealthy. Modern football management should adopt multiple structures for division of labor and cooperation, similar to Chinatown.

Once the BJ team is really acquired and BJ Chinatown is established, Gao Han's first thing is to completely reorganize the club's management system. Coupled with the club's business direction and goals, he believes that Van Gaal is the most suitable world-famous coach.

Young players are a blank sheet of paper, and it is best for a head coach like Van Gaal to instill advanced European technical and tactical concepts into them. On the contrary, mature players can be used if they can be used, and sold if they cannot be used.

And the club will definitely appoint another technical director and general manager by then to create a comfortable coaching environment for Van Gaal so that he can fully display his strengths.

Gao Han also believes that the changes in tactical concepts brought about by Van Gaal will have a profound impression on all other teams in the Chinese Super League and even the Chinese Professional League through BJ Chinatown, and will in turn lead to an overall improvement in the technical and tactical level of professional football in China.

BJ Chinatown will also drive the comprehensive upgrade of China's professional football industry.

This is the reason why Gao Han regards Van Gaal as the Chinese footballer Michels, and it is also the biggest temptation he throws to Van Gaal.

He believes that with Van Gaal's ambition, it will be difficult to refuse such a temptation.

…………

…………

Sure enough, after listening to Gao Han's words, Van Gaal was indeed excited to ask about Gao Han's details, as well as the conditions and environment that could be provided to him, especially the various situations of the team Gao Han wanted to acquire.

Judging from Van Gaal's reaction, he was already moved.

"I think you should especially consider equipping a qualified technical director. You know, this can bring a lot of help to the team, especially sharing a lot of the head coach's work, so that the head coach can focus more on technical skills. Tactically." Van Gaal suggested with a solemn look.

Gao Han smiled slightly and said, "Heroes see the same thing."

In fact, Van Gaal's worries are very reasonable. He has visited Chinatown many times and has also been to Manchester United in the Premier League. Pochettino has complained more than once that Manchester United does not have a technical director position like Chinatown does. To share the work of the head coach, he felt a lot of pressure and was unable to focus on the professional areas he was good at. He even had to worry about the team's recruitment himself.

The reason is simple. Ferguson did not have the position of technical director before.

If Manchester United wants to install a technical director, then the team's club management framework will need to be broken and rebuilt. Such an important position naturally involves many aspects, including the reorganization of the power structure of the CEO and head coach.

This is undoubtedly a very troublesome matter for a listed company like Manchester United.

Van Gaal obviously also saw the difference between Pochettino's coaching in Chinatown and Manchester United, and then came to a conclusion based on his own coaching experience.

"I want to know if there is a suitable candidate?" Van Gaal asked with concern.

"I guess it will be familiar to you. I plan to appoint former Barcelona vice president Ferran Soriano as the team's general manager, and former Barcelona technical director Begiristain as the team's technical director. You should also be very familiar with their abilities. clear."

Both of them are good friends of Gao Han and Guardiola. After they left Barcelona, ​​Soriano worked for Iberia Airlines, while Begiristain continued to engage in football-related work. As for the abilities of these two people, Gao Han Very clear.

During his five years as Barcelona vice-president, Soriano helped Barcelona increase revenue from 96 million euros to 240 million euros, and Begiristain personally witnessed the Barcelona Dream Team and the The entire process of the Dream Team 3 can be said to be a major contributor to Barcelona's revival.

Among them, Begiristain was once invited by Manchester City general manager Paul Futre to work at Blue Moon as the technical director, but Begiristain did not make the trip due to various reasons. Later, he was also listed as a candidate by Paris Saint-Germain. Ligue 1 The wealthy family finally chose someone else.

What is most talked about about this Barcelona star is that he has worked with Rijkaard and Guardiola successively, and the relationship has always been quite good. He fully gave the head coach power, but at the same time he was able to maintain It is indeed quite rare to understand the core philosophy and long-term planning of the club.

In Gao Han's view, Van Gaal is a very strong head coach, which requires him to be equipped with a technical director who is good at communication and coordination and can handle all aspects of relations. Begiristain is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.

Soriano and Begiristain are both very familiar with Gao Han. They had a meal together in Spain and settled the whole matter. As soon as BJ's side reaches an agreement, they can immediately take up their posts and Begin to become familiar with the Chinese Super League and the Chinese football environment, and when the time comes, a group of people from the BJ Chinatown Training Center will definitely be transferred to the management.

Of course, Van Gaal is no stranger to Soriano and Begiristain. Both of them were appointed after he resigned as Barcelona head coach and with the new chairman Joan Laporta coming to power. As for his work ability and style, he also From what I heard, I believe that with the common experience in Barcelona and Gao Han's coordination, it will not be difficult to work together.

This is also Van Gaal's trust in Gao Han.

…………

…………

After Van Gaal showed signs of interest, Gao Han struck while the iron was hot and further elaborated on how he would build the BJ team once he acquired it, including buying back many Chinese nationals currently studying abroad in Europe. players.

This is what Gao Han learned from his inspection in European football in the past month. Instead of staying in Europe and not getting the chance to practice, it would be better to return to the Chinese Super League and play under a top coach, and maybe his progress will be even more significant.

Van Gaal also felt Gao Han's ambition from Gao Han's explanation. Coupled with his trust in Gao Han as a person, he was convinced that this should be a good experience. However, Van Gaal did not agree on the spot. He promised to visit China in the near future.

Gao Han was striking while the iron was hot. He suggested that it would be better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. He might as well go with him and take a class at the coach training class in BJ China Town.

Seeing his kindness, Van Gaal couldn't push him away, so he had to agree.

After the game restarted in the second half, Ajax coach Bosz did not make any adjustments to the starting lineup.

As soon as the game started, Ajax continued to attack Zwolle, and in the 55th minute, Ziyech assisted Zhang Yuning and scored his third goal. This was Zhang Yuning's first goal in the Eredivisie this season. The third goal.

After leading three to one, Ajax completely established the victory and launched an unstoppable attack on Zwolle.

In the 59th minute, it was Ziyech's assist that allowed Neres to score another victory and expand the score to 4-1.

Five minutes later, after a long pass from Schön, Zhang Yuning stopped the ball on his chest at the front of the penalty area, turned around and volleyed hard, giving Ajax another victory, further expanding the score to 5-1, and he also performed a plum performance. Open twice.

Obviously, the two goals made Zhang Yuning more confident and he began to receive support from his teammates, which played a key role in his further integration into Ajax.

Van der Sar, who was sitting next to Gao Han, also praised Zhang Yuning. He believed that Zhang Yuning could withstand the pressure and scored twice, which continued to prove his strength and potential. The club will also continue to increase its efforts in cultivating him and strive to develop him. Become the team's number one center.

From Van Basten to Kluivert to Ibrahimovic to Huntelaar, Ajax has always had its own uniqueness in cultivating centers.
