Chapter 374: Domestic Public Opinion

Lyon's current coach is Alain Perrin, 51 years old this year, he used to be a professional player, but until the age of 20, his football skills still did not improve, he could only leave the Nancy team he played for and joined a local amateur football team. team.

After that, Perrin did not return to the Nancy team until 1983 and became a member of the Nancy B team.

Although it was quite a failure to be a professional player, Perrin still insisted on his football dream. Before retiring, the 35-year-old Wenger became the head coach of the Nancy team. Perrin began to follow Wenger to learn as a coach, and soon showed an excellent young man. coaching potential.

Of course, the Nancy Club also noticed the young man's changes and quickly arranged for Perrin to take charge of the club's football school as a player and coach.

After officially retiring, Alain Perrin became the echelon coach of the Nancy team and began his coaching career.

He started from the lowest league, first took over the hometown team Troyes, which was in the third league, and led Troyes to skip two tiers to be promoted to Ligue 1 in a few years, and then he led Troyes to 14th in the league. His identity was successfully relegated, and he gradually became famous in the French football world.

In the following two seasons, Troyes gradually gained a firm foothold in the Ligue 1, qualified for the European Toto Cup for two consecutive seasons, and performed well in the European arena, once eliminated Newcastle United to advance to Europe A masterpiece in the second round of the UEFA Cup.

In 2002, Perrin's coaching career gradually became brilliant. He took over the French Marseille team. In one year, he returned the results to the club to be the third place in the French League and the qualification for the Champions League. During this period, Perrin only paid 3.3 million pounds for the transfer fee. 25-year-old Drogba was poached from Guingamp (a year later, Chelsea paid a transfer fee of 24 million pounds for Drogba, a record for Marseille).

The two years 2004 and 2005 were low points in Perrin's life journey.

After leaving the Marseille team sadly, Perrin took over the UAE Al Ain team, but the cooperation lasted only 3 months (4 games in total). The next year, the Premier League Portsmouth team, which was in turmoil, came to the door and appointed Perrin as the firefighting coach.

Although Perrin completed the relegation task of Portsmouth, the 2005-2006 season started with 2 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses.

So Perrin became the first Premier League manager to be dismissed that season.

Last summer, Perrin took charge of the Ligue 1 Sochaux team. His familiarity with small and medium-sized clubs helped him to finish seventh last season. There is also the 2007 French Cup champion that Perrin himself values ​​very much, because in the final it was the Marseille team that swept him out.

Just after his successful revenge against Marseille, this summer, Perrin received an invitation from Lyon, a French giant, and officially became the Lyon coach.

Although in the eyes of many Lyon fans, Perrin can only be regarded as Lyon's "temporary coach", but he still hopes to lead Lyon to achieve good results.

What are good grades?

Of course the league champion!

Also in the Champions League. Perrin also wants to fight. In the Champions League group draw, Lyon was assigned to Group E. Group E is a very good group. The two teams other than Manchester City cannot pose too much threat to Lyon, so Perrin has already aimed for the first position in the group.

The away game against Manchester City is the start.

Alan Perrin has played against Wansheng. At that time, he was coaching Portsmouth, and his strength was quite different from that of Manchester City. But he still led Portsmouth to a 1-1 record with Manchester City.

This gave Perrin a lot of confidence.

Now lead Lyon. A strong team that can be counted in Europe will not lose to Manchester City, which is a 10,000-win.

Perrin thinks so.

In Perrin's vision, Lyon will take the first place in the group, and Manchester City can only be second. Of course, the premise is that they are lucky and do not easily lose to Stuttgart or Gransgow Rangers.

When Perrin learned that Manchester City drew with Blackburn and Aston Villa at home, and suffered two league games without a victory, he became more determined.

In addition, what supports Perrin's confidence is Lyon's strong strength. Juninho, Tularan, Govou, Benzema, all stars are in Lyon's array, Lyon has a gorgeous midfield, and can rank with Europe. famous striker efficiency.

The last coach Santini left the club because he rose to become the head coach of the French team. He left Perrin with a strong and complete lineup of Lyon. After Perrin took over the team, he also did a lot of things. The first point was to stabilize the team. The tactical system allows newly added players to adapt to the inherent system of the team.

After that, during the preparation period, his emphasis was on defense.

Perrin does not oppose utilitarian football. He believes that the most important thing for a team is the performance. After he took office, he emphasized to the team, "While we adhere to the style, we must make targeted changes for the opponent in every game. ."

This is what he learned from Wansheng.

Wansheng often makes some adjustments to tactics in the game according to the opponent's situation. When defense is the best choice, he will choose defense, and when he wants to attack aggressively, he will also let the team go. Give it a shot.

Now to face Manchester City in the Champions League, Perrin has a feeling of knowing himself and his opponent, and then he feels that, as the team with the most hope of winning the first place in the group, his limelight should not be suppressed by Manchester City.

So Perrin took the initiative to provoke a war of words.

When a British reporter interviewed Lyon's preparations for the Champions League, Perrin said, "I'm looking forward to the first game against Manchester City, and so are my players."

"I know Manchester City well, but Manchester City don't know us. This is our advantage! My players and I have confidence to win the game!"

When Perrin said these words, there was a faint smile on his face, and he seemed confident.

The French media were also infected by Perrin, and in their press releases, they focused on describing Perrin's self-confidence and set up a wonderful prospect for Lyon in the Champions League for French fans.

"France Football" commented, "Perrin's confidence is a positive signal. This at least shows that Lyon is fully prepared to play against Manchester City!"

"This season, Lyon is indeed very strong, with a complete lineup, mature tactics, and a strong performance in the league."

After analyzing Lyon's strength, "French Football" also expressed some concerns about Perrin's coaching ability. After all, Perrin is only Lyon's 'temporary coach'. If he can find other bigger names, Certainly not his turn to coach Lyon.

"...The only thing to worry about is that Perrin doesn't have much experience in leading the team to the Champions League. We hope he can do well and lead Lyon to a further breakthrough, but now we need to maintain a rational attitude."

————

Wan Sheng was not in the mood to pay attention to the "war of words" initiated by Perrin, because a war of words with Leon was meaningless at all. In fact, Leon didn't care about him at all.

The strength of this French team is good, but compared with the current Manchester City, there is still some gap. What's more, the game is being played at Manchester Stadium. He wonders why the opponent has such great confidence?

When a reporter talked about it, Wan Sheng replied ridiculously, "Isn't that guy sick?"

Then nothing more.

This sentence was a huge blow to Perrin, Lyon and the French fans. When they shouted slogans, the other party didn't care at all, and the look of complete contempt was revealed.

They are all very angry, and they are going to Manchester to teach Manchester City a lesson.

Wansheng didn't pay any attention to this, and just focused on leading the team to prepare for the battle.

At the same time, domestic public opinion in China has also undergone some changes because of what Wansheng said in the interview.

At that time, a reporter from "Xinlang Sports" was interviewing Wansheng. What Wansheng said that night spread to China and appeared on the front page of "Xinlang Sports".

"Xinlang Sports" is still very influential in the domestic sports media. When they release news, many fans will see it.

After reading the original words that Wansheng said in the interview, many people immediately expressed their support for Wansheng.

The most important thing is what Wansheng said, which is indeed very reasonable.

There are not only Chinese teams in East Asia. South Korea and Japan have higher world rankings and better records, but their national teams will not consider recruiting European players when they are playing ordinary games. After all, international games are like that. A few days ago, Europe was too far away from East Asia. It took more than 8 hours to travel by plane, and the jet lag came back and forth, so the state could not be guaranteed at all.

In the warm-up match between China and Oman just past, neither Sun Jihai nor Wang Xiaolei appeared in the starting list, and the two of them didn't get a minute of playing time together.

Thinking of this, you can see why Wan Sheng, the head coach of Manchester City, is annoyed with the Chinese national team.

When the fans understood this, the domestic public opinion situation immediately tilted a lot towards Wansheng.

However, some people do not want to make Wansheng easier!

These words of Wan Sheng are directed at the Chinese national team, and most people in China know that the Chinese team coach Folado Petrovic is like a puppet and has no right to recruit players. In other words, what Wan Sheng said is directed at The Chinese Football Association, which has the right to call players.

As the top management of the Chinese Football Association, Xie Yalong became very angry when he learned what Wan Sheng said.

Xie Yalong felt that his rights and status had been seriously challenged.

There is no player or coach in China who dares to wrestle with the Football Association. Even if the opponent is a famous European coach, it is also a Chinese coach.

In Xie Yalong's view, as long as they are Chinese coaches, they should be 'administered' by the Chinese Football Association.

The Chinese Football Association has no right to order Wansheng to do anything, but he can use the relationship to put the opponent at a disadvantage in public opinion, and let all players and coaches see the end of the Football Association, or he himself is wrong! (To be continued ~^~)
