Chapter 97

The war of words between Chang Sheng and Ranieri is not a mainstream topic. The second day after the game, no one in the media paid attention to these two people. Everyone's eyes were on Wednesday's Old Trafford.冰x-on:火! in Chinese

Manchester United and Lazio, the opponents of last year's final, joined forces to contribute another classic game in this season's Champions League. Will the second round of the game continue the classic?

Everyone is more concerned about this.

Compared with this, the same city derby between Lazio and Rome is nothing to mention.

Of course, this must make Rome feel very disappointed... but who cares how they feel?

After the match against Rome, the whole Lazio team did not rest for half a day, but started training directly the next day.

They are pressed for time and have no time to rest.

On the second day, everyone first sat together and watched the video of yesterday's game against Rome.

The 90-minute game video was watched by everyone all morning.

Chang Sheng explained their gains and losses in the game almost ball by ball.

Give praise for good performance, and give praise for bad performance. It depends on the reason for the poor performance, whether it is because you have not adapted to the new tactics, or because you have slackened your mind.

If it's the latter, severe criticism is in order.

A video lesson analyzed the game thoroughly, and also deepened the players' understanding of the new tactics and how to use the new tactics in the game.

Next, training with the ball resumed in the afternoon.

Lazio practiced like this from Sunday to Tuesday afternoon.

Wednesday night is the UEFA Champions League game, training is over on Tuesday afternoon, and the whole team will fly to Manchester.

At this time, Gao Hongbo found Chang Sheng.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you, Chang Sheng." Gao Hongbo said, carrying a bag and pulling two large suitcases.

"It seems that you have packed your things. Are you going back to participate in the competition?"

Gao Hongbo was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

It was his wife who told him about the competition.

He thought no one else knew about it.

Seeing Gao Hongbo so surprised, Chang Sheng was also a little embarrassed - he forgot to hide his knowledge of the future for a moment.

"Well, I have acquaintances in the press circle, and I've heard some rumors. Are you ready to go back and fulfill your dream?"

Gao Hongbo nodded: "It's embarrassing to say... I haven't even completed a season, and I'm leaving..."

Chang Sheng shook his head: "On the contrary, I feel sorry. You did stay too short. It would be better if you stayed longer."

"But opportunity waits for no one."

Chang Sheng looked at Gao Hongbo. Thinking of the follow-up stories he knew about the man.

He became the head coach of the national team. The first game he led the national team was the warm-up match against Germany. As a result, the Chinese team and Germany drew 1:1. Hao Junmin scored a very beautiful goal in the game. But it's not just his shots that are beautiful. There are also a series of running positions before, and from this goal, we can see what this little man has brought to Chinese football.

At that time, he was not the head coach of Lazio. He saw the Chinese team playing in such a well-organized way in front of the TV. For the fun of watching football.

after that. Chinese football has been caught in a storm of crackdowns. Senior officials of the Football Association, well-known referees, and football bigwigs have all been sacked. The outside world believes that Chinese football has fallen to a low point.

But at the same time, he led the Chinese national team in the East Asian semi-finals. 3:0 victory over the South Korean national team, breaking the embarrassing record of the Chinese team's 32-year victory against South Korea!

Before the World Cup in South Africa, his Chinese team had a warm-up match with the French team. As a result, the Chinese team relied on Deng Zhuoxiang's wonderful elevator ball. 1:0 defeated the former world champion French team!

These outstanding performances could not finally allow him to stay in the position of head coach of the national team.

The Asian Cup was approved by the Football Association, but the experience of sending young players to train became an excuse for the Football Association to fire him in the future. Because Wang Jianlin, the CEO of Wanda, asked for a foreign handsome man by name, Gao Hongbo, the native handsome man, became an outcast.

So when he led the team to the top 20 of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup in Brazil, he was fired and replaced by the second-rate European Camacho.

After that, a good-looking Chinese national team with ideas, drive and vigor disappeared, and the old people who were abandoned by Gao Hongbo returned to the national team, which also brought depression and... factional struggles to the national team.

Before Changsheng crossed, Camacho was still the head coach of the Chinese national team. Changsheng still watched every national team game, but every time he watched and scolded Camacho, Wang Jianlin and the Chinese Football Association.

The Chinese team can't see any rules, winning depends on luck, and losing is normal. In the game, you can't see the traces of tactics instilled in the national team by Camacho, the head coach, saying that his national team is playing The long pass and the long pass are just flattering him. The long pass and the long pass are still a set of tactics. Camacho's national team doesn't even have a tactic. The head coach from Spain is even worse than England, which can be regarded as a wonderful flower.

Some people said that Gao Hongbo's performance in the official competition was not good, so he hired the famous coach Camacho.

But Gao Hongbo did not qualify for the Asian Cup group, so he made it to the main match anyway. Camacho's national team couldn't even make it to the top ten of the Asian World Cup qualifiers, and was eliminated in the top twenty, and their results in the main match were worse than Gao Hongbo's.

Also in the warm-up match, Gao Hongbo's national team can beat the former world champion France 1:0, and Camacho's Chinese team can lose 0:8 to the former world champion Brazil.

Chang Sheng had no idea how such a so-called famous coach could earn an annual salary of 28 million RMB a year.

Gao Hongbo had 24 wins, 13 draws and 5 losses, and Camacho had 7 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses... How do you know that foreign coaches will have better coaching results than local coaches?

Chang Sheng knew very well what would happen to Gao Hongbo when he returned to China.

Although he has changed many things in this world, there are still some deep-rooted things that cannot be changed, such as the football environment in China and the amateur level of the Chinese Football Association.

Otherwise, why would he refuse to coach the Chinese Olympic team in the 2008 Beijing Olympics? That's a great opportunity to show your face in front of your hometown folks.

If possible, he really didn't want Gao Hongbo to go back now. Even if he went back, he would be killed in two years.

Camacho's national team was a seeded team in the top 20 World Cup qualifiers, and this seeded team was created by Gao Hongbo leading the Chinese team game by game.

As a result, Camacho led such a seeded team to be eliminated two rounds early, what a handsome man...

The most painful thing is that Chang Sheng knows this and Gao Hongbo's fate, but he can't say it.

He couldn't say to Gao Hongbo: "No matter how well you lead the team when you go back, you will get out after two years... because you are a local handsome, a rustic local handsome, and you are not as handsome as someone else, Wang Dashan. I don't like it, and the Football Association doesn't like it..."

His identity as a time traveler is the biggest secret, and no one can tell it, not even his parents, let alone Gao Hongbo.

"This may not be the best opportunity, and there may be better opportunities in the future..." He could only finish his words here.

But Gao Hongbo obviously wouldn't listen, he smiled and shook his head: "I don't know what the future will hold, but if I miss this opportunity, I will regret it."

Seeing Gao Hongbo like this, Chang Sheng knew that he couldn't convince Gao Hongbo. Without conclusive evidence, how could he prevent him from seeing his personal pursuit and ideal in life?

So he had no choice but to sigh: "I know, you have made up your mind, and you can see it from the fact that you came to say goodbye to me with all your belongings. Let me give you a piece of advice, don't trust those villains in China. I The so-called villains include members of the Football Association, media reporters, and... some rich football-loving big bosses."

"I know that you are low-key and shy. Unlike me, you don't like dealing with the media. But if you succeed as the head coach of the national team, you will be under the attention of the entire Chinese media. You must communicate with them. Build a good relationship, because their influence in public opinion will affect whether your position is stable. Don’t offend them easily, otherwise when you encounter difficulties, no one will speak for you, open the newspaper, turn on the TV, all of them are If you speak badly, the situation will be bad."

Chang Sheng thought of Gao Hongbo's coaching period, the group of reporters represented by "Sports Weekly" Ma Dexing, who focused on discrediting the bastards of Gao's army for 30 years... When Gao Hongbo was out of class, a group of media were still cheering for this, advocating that China Under the leadership of the famous coach Camacho, the football team will connect with the world and learn the most advanced football. It is shameless to say that "changing coaches also has a positive impact".

The results of it? Camacho slapped the faces of these royal literati game after game! The top 20 of the world preliminaries are two rounds ahead of schedule, and the seeded teams are eliminated. It's a shame!

Gao Hongbo nodded, indicating that he had written it down.

In fact, Chang Sheng is not sure whether Gao Hongbo can really follow his own advice in the future.

Anyway, that's all he can do.

Character determines fate, Gao Hongbo's fate can only be changed by his own efforts, and others can only help for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Finally, Chang Sheng said to Gao Hongbo: "No matter what, as long as you want to come back, my coaching staff will always have your place. Let us sign a contract next time, and you don't have to sit in the stands to watch It's game."

Gao Hongbo nodded: "Okay, thank you, Chang Sheng! I will cheer for Lazio. At that time, I should watch the live broadcast of the game at my home in Beijing." Gao Hongbo waved to Chang Sheng, pulling two A big suitcase, turned and left.

Chang Sheng smiled and waved goodbye, but the smile was forced.

In fact, he knew that after Gao Hongbo left, he might never come back...

Even if he does not continue to coach the national team, there is no shortage of job opportunities. If he wants to be a good head coach, he won't be willing to come back to help him.
