Three Hundred and Ninety First Scold Me? You Are Not Qualified!
On the first day when I came to the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, the days were actually very ordinary.
Gao Shen gradually lost the sense of freshness he had just arrived at.
Like having lunch.
Although there are many famous coaches, Gao Shen even went to Benitez to ask for a one-click triple combo, and even tweeted, but in fact it was just like that, just like those gatherings of peers.
The only thing that made Gao Shen feel a little satisfied was that someone actually asked him for a phone number.
Pellegrini of Villarreal, Chilean engineer is a good man!
They are all famous men, but they are also human beings, and they all eat and drink, which is also strange.
Some people are very addicted to cigarettes, and they go out to smoke a cigarette from time to time; some people are used to exhaling fragrance, and they have to swear in every sentence; some people have a loud voice, and they talk as if they want everyone in the audience to pay attention to him; Some old comrades are even older, and in less than an hour, they ran to the bathroom several times...
Anyway, among the twenty or so people, each one is different.
After the lunch break, the most important part of the afternoon began, which was taking pictures.
Don't be surprised, in Ferguson's words, this is the most important thing at the annual coaching summit.
In fact, all the media in the world reporting on this event will only publish this photo.
This is the news material sent to major newspapers after UEFA finished filming.
Since it is a photo facing the whole world, it is also particular about it.
The first thing to consider is the seat.
UEFA President Michel Platini and Secretary-General David Taylor will also take part in the photoshoot. Needless to say, Michel Platini must sit in the C position in the front row, and the people sitting on both sides of him are a bit particular.
Generally speaking, it is the head coach of the Champions League runner-up.
Ferguson is doing his part, but Chelsea's head coach is in trouble, because last season it was Grant who led the team to the Champions League final, but this season Chelsea's head coach is Brazilian coach Scolari.
So, in the end it was Wenger who sat on the other side of Platini.
This has basically been affirmed by everyone.
After the C position is determined, the other positions are also casual.
Gao Shen is the most self-aware, he chose an inconspicuous position in the back row.
Ancelotti, Mourinho, Benitez, Guardiola, Schuster and other giants coaches all sat in the front row.
In the subsequent gatherings, the difference in popularity can be clearly seen.
Except for UEFA's Michel Platini and David Taylor looking for someone to chat around and doing their best to be the landlord, the other head coaches all got together and chatted about their own topics.
Although Gao Shen is here for the first time, in fact, his connections in European football are still good.
Guardiola followed him all the time, and Ancelotti basically stood with him, plus a lonely Spalletti, their small circle had a lot of people, especially later, Mourinho The addition of Ao and Ferguson made them faintly become the focus of the venue.
But some people seem very lonely, such as Real Madrid coach Schuster.
The people present were either actively integrated into the circle, or were well-known, forming a small circle of their own, except for Schuster, who seemed alone, even his compatriot, Bayern Munich coach Klinsmann I don't pay much attention to him.
It seems that the popularity is a bit poor.
For this reason, Gao Shen specially walked over and greeted him.
But soon, he understood why he was ignored.
This guy almost had the word "arrogance" engraved on his forehead, and he spoke in a very aggressive tone.
There are all Champions League coaches present, who the hell wants to see you show off?
As for Ferguson's speech later, the content was actually not new. It was all content that Gao Shen had seen in the tactical library before, but now listening to Ferguson say it himself, the feeling is quite different.
But in terms of completeness, tactical library management is better.
…………
…………
In theory, after the first day of the meeting, you can leave if you have something to say.
But everyone present knew well that UEFA still had to give this face.
What's more, UEFA really provided them with good food and drink, and even the hotels where they stayed were the best in the area.
No use and no use.
It was rare that the league was suspended and there was no competition pressure. Ancelotti endured his card addiction for a day, and finally got out of control. He pulled Gao Shen and others to say that he would play all night.
Sometimes Gao Shen really wants to ask, why are you so conservative on the court when you gamble so much on the poker table?
However, he guessed that if asked, Ancelotti would fight him hard.
The card game lasted until three o'clock in the morning, and Spalletti couldn't stand it any longer. Gao Shen also took the opportunity to stop, and fled back to the room. Yiyi slept until noon, only to be woken up by the phone call for dinner.
There is only one item on the agenda in the afternoon, and that is discussions and proposals.
Since the Calciopoli incident in Serie A, the focus of discussion has been on the referee issue, and in recent times, the way to put pressure on referees has intensified.
Putting pressure on the referee is actually playing around the corner, and within the scope of the rules, each team is doing everything possible to put pressure on the referee, hoping to make the referee do more things that are beneficial to them. penalty.
Yes, all the head coaches know it well, including Mourinho and Ferguson who often criticize referees. They are very clear that the head referee is not a god. When they make decisions in a game, they must sometimes be biased towards the opponent and sometimes be biased. Own.
The reason why they bombard and accuse is more of a tactic, the purpose is to put pressure on, and then put pressure on the referee, so that they can make more judgments that are beneficial to them.
This is their true purpose.
Including later, the frequent falls of Barcelona players, including the fact that they often surrounded the referee at once, these are actually a means of pressure that is not explicitly prohibited in the rules.
Of course, UEFA later stipulated that it is not allowed to surround the referee to exert pressure, so it will no longer happen.
In the proposal stage, everyone put forward different opinions according to their own needs, some of which were more than one.
To put it bluntly, everyone has their own position, and no one is objective and fair.
For example, the Premier League team, they hope that the referee's enforcement will be more relaxed.
Everyone knows that the Premier League teams have always been rough and direct, and it is good for them to enforce the law more loosely.
La Liga hopes that referees can protect technical players more, this is also because they are good at technology and passing the ball.
Guardiola's proposal is to hope that the referee will better protect a genius like Messi.
To put it bluntly, in Europe, professional football is a show, the Champions League is the most upscale show, and stars like Messi are the best actors, so Guardiola's proposal is correct.
It just won't be accepted.
Once Messi is protected, how can other teams defend against Barcelona?
No foul, who can prevent Messi?
Therefore, as soon as Guardiola's proposal came out, someone refuted it on the spot.
...
The advanced proposal seems a bit big.
He proposed that the method of delineating the eight seed teams based on the points in the European war should be cancelled, but that the championship teams of the four major leagues should automatically qualify for a seed team.
This proposal has aroused very lively discussion.
Like Naples, as the Serie A champion, but being ranked fourth, it is actually not good for anyone.
In other words, are Real Madrid and Bayern really confident that they can beat Naples?
But not everyone agrees with this.
Real Madrid coach Schuster refuted Gao Shen face to face, thinking that this proposal only considered Naples' own self-interest, and ignored the common interests of the other 31 teams.
"I don't think that on such an occasion, such a platform is suitable for discussing such selfish opinions! I think that UEFA does not need to discuss such unrealistic opinions at all, and it is a waste of everyone's time .”
The implication is to accuse Gao Shen of trying to seek personal gain for Naples and change UEFA rules.
Everyone on the scene was taken aback.
Just now everyone had a heated discussion, and Gao Shen’s proposal was very good.
Gao Shen smiled wryly to himself. He had heard that Schuster was rebellious and unrestrained, and he was right.
Just now I took the initiative to go up to say hello, but in the end I put a cold butt on my hot face.
It's good now, if you don't want to discuss it, just shut up, what are you pretending to be?
In the final analysis, isn't it because you look down on Gao Shen and his Naples?
As for when Gao Shen offended Schuster, Gao Shen didn't know.
Maybe it was during the UEFA Champions League draw, or maybe it was when the La Liga media discussed the coaching change and asked Gao Shen to return...
But none of that matters anymore.
The venue fell silent, but Gao Shen stood up.
He first admitted that his proposal did have some selfishness, because Naples was indeed placed in the fourth tier when the lottery was drawn this season, which is unfair to Naples.
"But I can also understand the thinking of many first-tier teams. They may not be willing to accept such a change."
What Gao Shen said is not necessarily, that is, some people are happy, and some people are not happy.
"If you want to accuse my proposal of being selfish, I want to say that the vast majority of people present have this qualification, but there is only one person who does not!"
Gao Shen didn't point out who it was, and he still saved face for him, but everyone knew who he was talking about.
Because, when he named this person, Gao Shen looked directly at Schuster.
"Because of this person, the reason why he can still occupy the seed qualification of the first team is because of me! Without me, it is still unknown whether he can even sit here and accuse me boldly."
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen sat down directly.
Guardiola and Ancelotti sat next to him, and both of them comforted him in unison, signaling him to calm down.
Schuster's expression became very embarrassing.
The reason why he chokes on Gao Shen is that from the first day of his coaching, he has been constantly compared with Gao Shen by the media. Even every time he loses, some media will call for the management to invite Gao Shen back. He hates Gao Shen from the bottom of his heart, he dislikes everything about Gao Shen.
But he didn't expect that Gao Shen would be so embarrassing to him in public.
More importantly, he couldn't even refute.
If it weren't for his championship in 2006, with the results of the past five years, Real Madrid might not be able to be ranked in the seed group.
This makes Schuster simply irrefutable.
And his previous rhetoric is more like picking up the bowl to eat, and putting down the bowl to scold mother.
He hated Gao Shen even more in his heart.
Bernabéu battle, I want you to look good!
I think you can still dance for a few days!
