Chapter 428 Invitation to the Chinese National Team

In the first round of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round, the score between Manchester City and Celtic was 2 to 3. Manchester City won a victory, with 1 goal difference and 3 away goals, the qualifying situation is still very favorable.

The second round is the home game. As long as Manchester City does not lose two goals and does not let the Celtics score three goals, they can eliminate the Celtics and advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

After the game, the British media chanted, "Manchester City has reached the quarter-finals with one foot!"

It is not the first season for Manchester City to have good results. In the past two seasons, Manchester City's results have been very stable. They rarely have big ups and downs, so almost no one worries that Manchester City will have a big decline and lose their qualifications. .

The first round of the Champions League round of 16 ended that day, and the British media were very satisfied with the results of the first round, because all four teams in England scored favorable scores.

With the exception of Liverpool's 2-0 home win against Inter Milan, Chelsea and Manchester United both drew on the road.

The game between Chelsea and Olympiacos was somewhat unsatisfactory. The 0-0 score did not reflect the gap between the two teams, but back at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's hope of winning is still very high.

Manchester City drew 1-1 with Lyon away, a draw plus a goal difference advantage, and Manchester City's qualifying situation is also very good.

After summing up the results of the first round, the British media happily said, "England's four teams are expected to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals!"

This is simply the heyday of English football!

There are only eight teams in the Champions League quarter-finals. If all four English teams enter the quarter-finals, they will occupy half of the country. The Sun sighed, "UEFA should reset the rules for English football. The strong draw also follows the principle of the draw for the top 16, that is, teams from the same country will not meet together…”

Of course, this is not possible.

Like the special case of Liverpool participating in the 2005-2006 UEFA Champions League, England has five teams participating in the UEFA Champions League.

Just as the British media was hyping up the national team's Champions League performance, Wan Sheng had already led the team back to Manchester.

Taking advantage of the vacancy at the end of the first round of the Champions League knockout, Wan Sheng rarely gave the team a day off. When he announced the news, all the players cheered excitedly. They were even happier than winning the game.

Manchester City's schedule is too dense, it is too difficult for them to take a holiday.

Even if it is a rare day of vacation, they will have to usher in the League Cup final at Wembley Stadium in four days.

Perhaps the only people in the team who can relax are Koppelle Ferreira, Ozil and a few others. Because of the relationship between the last Manchester derby, they were suspended in England and could not participate in the game at all.

It was a pity and a relief.

Even if they can't play, they can get a medal if Manchester City win the title.

Many teammates are envious of them. After all, the pressure of the intensive schedule is too much, and they are envious of their teammates in turn. The League Cup battle with Manchester United is definitely a game not to be missed. Unfortunately, they were suspended and could not participate at all. .

Wansheng also took the opportunity to remind everyone not to be impulsive in the game.

"We are fighting for the title, not fighting the opponent," he said. "Even if the opponent is Manchester United, what we need to do is beat them, not beat them with our fists."

"This is a football match, not a boxing match."

Wan Sheng said with a fist.

A group of players laughed out loud, and Wansheng also disbanded the team.

The next day, Wan Sheng originally wanted to rest at home for a day and relax a little, but he didn't expect a news to let him rest again.

Bee - Knicks sent a message about his contract renewal with the club.

In fact, the issue of Wansheng's contract renewal was raised by many people as early as the end of last year. There were many mentions in the British media. Many directors of Manchester City Club also proposed to renew Wansheng as soon as possible. about.

For example, the former club chairman Waddell actively wanted to renew the contract for Wansheng, but he is no longer the club chairman, and the current chairman Thaksin holds an absolute stake in the club, but recently, Thaksin has been influenced by domestic politics in Thailand. I don't have the energy to ask about the club's affairs at all.

This time, some directors of Manchester City Club held an internal meeting again, and Sinar finally got the approval to attend on behalf of Thaksin.

The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss the issue of renewing the contract for Wansheng.

The club's renewal of the head coach's contract is actually not a big problem. The chairman and the general manager and other managers can decide together. However, the Manchester City club is different. Thaksin has never been able to really devote himself to the club. to him.

Wansheng's contract renewal is by no means a trivial matter, because if he wants to renew his contract, he must sign a very heavyweight contract. At present, his weekly salary has reached nearly 100,000 pounds, and his salary will definitely increase if he wants to renew his contract.

This is just normal.

Considering Wansheng's leadership performance, many directors of Manchester City believe that a huge contract is needed to keep him, because other clubs will definitely not mind offering a higher salary contract to poach him.

Bi-Knicks called, the purpose was actually to test Wansheng's idea.

The personal relationship between the two is very good, but with so much money involved, and because of the head coach's renewal, Bi-Knicks, as the club manager, still can't make the decision directly. All this has to be decided by the club's board of directors.

Wansheng is also considering the news after hearing the news.

In fact, Wansheng is not in a hurry to renew the contract, because he has not considered whether to stay at the end of the season, which involves a problem of 'the motivation to win the championship'.

When any club reaches glory, it will gradually decline. Manchester City has already had this problem. When they were undefeated in the league before, they were still very motivated to fight for it, but next season, the team won three consecutive games. With a league title, will players still have such motivation to fight?

This is just one aspect to consider.

The salary offered by the Manchester City club has been unable to really attract Wansheng.

No matter how high the club's salary is, he is only 'working' at the club. When the players he trains transfer and leave, all the transfer fees have nothing to do with him, he is just a 'working' head coach .

Putting this kind of thing on other head coaches is actually nothing at all, and putting it on Wansheng is somewhat unacceptable.

Wansheng has a Tagore-Wan group, and the money he earns as a head coach doesn't even have a fraction of the group company, so there is no need for him to "work" for someone else's club.

As far as the football training master system is concerned, he is also considering the 'football school investment plan'. After the infrastructure construction of the football school is completed in May or June, the enrollment plan can be started. Players, it is more beneficial to the upgrade of the football training master system than a single team.

In addition, there are other factors, such as the invitation from the Chinese Football Association, wanting this, Wansheng feels very funny.

"Xie Yalong fell down, and another Xie Yalong stood up."

After a few months, the Chinese Football Association has had a new vice-chairman, a leader directly assigned by the State Sports General Administration. Is a leadership position in sports management, in fact, he took up the position of vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association.

Director Zhang became the vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, which must be a promotion.

After taking office in the Chinese Football Association, Director Zhang knew that he was already in the sight of fans and the national media. He also hoped that he could rise up and do something. The first job to do was to arrange the Chinese national team coach. .

Folado Petrovic stepped down just three months after taking over as China's national team coach, because he failed to lead China to 'create a miracle' and enter the 2010 World Cup finals. In fact, the Chinese national team was in the World Cup qualifiers before. The results of the game were very dismal. Fulado led the team to play only three rounds. The Chinese team suffered an early elimination in the Asian region of the World Cup qualifiers, and Fulado was fired directly.

Since then, Ratomir Dujkovic, the 'head coach' of Chinese football, has also served as the 'double' head coach of the Chinese national team and the Chinese Olympic team. In fact, after the World Cup qualifiers were eliminated, the Chinese national team also There are only some A-level warm-up matches arranged by FIFA to play, and those warm-up matches are rarely cared by fans. Latomir's job is mainly to lead the Chinese Olympic team.

However, the Chinese national team definitely needs a capable head coach, which is the first important job before the Chinese Football Association.

Director Zhang immediately thought of Wansheng.

Wan Sheng is the head coach of Manchester City. He led Manchester City to great success in Europe. He is the most popular and outstanding coach in China, and internationally, he is also one of the top football coaches.

If Wan Sheng can take over the position of the head coach of the Chinese national team, it will definitely make the media and fans very satisfied.

This can be counted on his achievements!

Do you see it?

The last vice-chairman, Xie Yalong, wanted Wansheng to be the head coach of the national team, but it was unsuccessful for various reasons. Now that I have become the vice-chairman, the first thing is to put Wansheng as the head coach of the national team and let the media, The fans are all satisfied, what is this not an achievement?

Director Zhang thought so, he didn't even consider whether Wan Sheng agreed or not.

In the past, Director Zhang worked in the General Administration of Sport. The General Administration of Sport managed all kinds of sports in the country, including participation in the Olympic Games. But no matter what event, as long as it represented the country, which athlete did not actively strive for it? (To be continued ~^~)
