Chapter 429 Arrogance?

In Director Zhang's view, football is the same.

The Chinese Football Association is a separate department, but it is also directly under the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China. The Chinese national team also represents China. Participating in various competitions in the world is also striving for honor for China. Professional players who participate in football will definitely join the country. team.

Wansheng is not a professional player, but he is also a football coach. Now let him take over the Chinese national team, that is a huge honor!

Who doesn't want this kind of honor?

Director Zhang obviously never thought that the commerciality of football is much higher than other projects.

Professional football is not that simple.

For a football coach who has successfully coached abroad, salary alone is a big problem. If the Chinese Football Association wants to invite Wan Sheng to coach the Chinese team, it also needs to pay a huge salary. The problem is, even if the Chinese Football Association can have so many Funds, but are they willing to free up such a huge part to pay the national team coach?

Even if they are willing to pay so much salary, football coaching is not a 'stable job'. Few football coaches can work for a team for many years, so football coaches who coach in Europe are willing to give up their jobs. Are you going back to work?

These are questions.

When Wan Sheng saw this invitation, he felt very funny.

In fact, the salary is not what Wansheng fancy. The key point is that the Chinese national team is not qualified to participate in the 2010 World Cup finals, so if he is invited to become the national team coach, is it to lead the team to play warm-up games?

As long as it is a top coach with normal thinking, it is impossible to accept this invitation.

In fact, Wan Sheng has no objection to becoming the coach of the Chinese team. The premise is that the Chinese team is qualified to participate in the World Cup. If he does not qualify for the World Cup, what is the point of him being the coach for a few years? After working for the Chinese national team for a long time, there is no way to train players. Even if he leads the team, he can only train the players in the team on international competition days. It is too difficult to achieve good results.

Also, if he takes over the position of the national team coach, can the Chinese Football Association delegate power? This question is very important. If the Chinese Football Association does not let go of power, then he coaches the national team and is just a 'puppet' coach.

These are all things to consider.

If everything is negotiated, then it is actually nothing for him to be the coach of the Chinese national team. Even if the salary is lower, he is still playing for China. With his current assets, he doesn't care about the salary.

Nothing has been discussed, it is impossible for him to leave his position at a European club and go back to coach the Chinese national team.

In the end, Wansheng did not open contract renewal negotiations with Manchester City, and he planned to consider it until the end of the season.

The most important thing at present is to lead Manchester City to compete for the second trophy of the season - the English League Cup. Manchester City has already won the Community Shield Cup. Although the Community Shield Cup is very tasteless, it is still a champion. Now the English League Cup, the It's a somewhat meaningful champion.

Two days before the final at Wembley Stadium, an interesting thing happened.

Wan Sheng received a call, and the other party introduced him as David Gill. After thinking about it for a long time, he only felt that the name was familiar, but he did not know who it was.

David Gill introduced himself, and Wan Sheng remembered that this is the current CEO of Manchester United.

David Gill was the general manager of Manchester City Club before, and then Abramovich joined Chelsea and poached Manchester United's CEO Peter Kenyon, and Gill became his successor. Until now, Gill He is responsible for all of Manchester United's commercial operations, and he also has another identity as a board member of the English Football Association.

In English football, David Gill is also a very heavyweight.

However, Wan Sheng couldn't understand why the other party called him. He was the head coach of Manchester City Club, and Manchester United was an absolute sworn enemy.

After a simple greeting, Wan Sheng had no idea that David Gill would say something like this, "I had discussions with Mr. Glazer, and we both thought you would be the best successor to Mr. Ferguson. If you can come to coach Manchester United, we will persuade Mr Ferguson to retire early ... we hope you will think about it."

Wan Sheng was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

Are you the best successor to Ferguson? Let yourself go to coach Manchester United? Old man Ferguson retire early?

What is this all about!

Wan Sheng couldn't figure it out for a while, but one thing is certain, even if he stopped coaching Manchester City at the end of the season, he would not be able to go directly to the sworn enemy Manchester United, not to mention the grievances between him and Manchester United. It will become a pillar of shame to be placed on the 'traitor', especially in the sensitive period two days before Manchester United's decisive battle, and no matter what, it must be decisively rejected.

Wan Sheng said without hesitation, "Mr. Gill, I'm sorry, I have no interest in coaching Manchester United."

David Gill listened for a while, perhaps he did not expect Wansheng to refuse so bluntly.

This is Manchester United, not Manchester City, not Chelsea, not Arsenal, but Manchester United, England's 'number one giant'.

In fact, David Gill and Glazer had a discussion. They knew that Wan Sheng had refused to admit that he would be Ferguson's successor, but they thought it was Manchester United's lack of sincerity. After all, they just let Wan Sheng come to Manchester United. Assistant coach, not head coach.

This time they came with sincerity, hoping that Wan Sheng could directly take over Ferguson's position.

If Wansheng can be poached from Manchester City, there will be two direct benefits. One is that Manchester United lacks a rival in the same city, and the other is that Manchester United has a long-term stable and capable head coach. After all, Ferguson is old. , Even if he insists, he won't be able to do it for a few years. What's more, Manchester United haven't won any heavyweight championship for several seasons. They hope to dig Wansheng to bring good results to Manchester United.

What David Gill didn't expect was that Wansheng simply refused.

When David Gill heard Wan Sheng's words, he couldn't believe it. It was not a good feeling to be rejected. The smile on his face froze, and all he thought was, "How is this possible? Would you refuse?"

David Gill believes that with the name of Manchester United, it should be able to attract Wansheng. Although Manchester United has not won the championship for several seasons, Manchester United is the No. 1 giant in England. It can compete with Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, On a par with AC Milan, it is one of the top football giants on the planet.

What is Manchester City?

In England, they can't be called giants!

This time they came with sincerity, and the Chinese refused without even thinking about it? What was he thinking?

David Gill has to persuade him again, but Wansheng has made it clear, "I appreciate your appreciation from you and Mr. Glazer, but I am the manager of Manchester City now, it is impossible to coach Manchester United, and I think Mr. Ferguson has done a great job. Well, he can hold on for a few more years!"

"Sorry, I'm going to see the training, so I won't waste your time."

After Wan Sheng finished speaking, he put down the phone and didn't plan to talk to David Gildow. He didn't go to Manchester United anyway, so there was no need to have a relationship with the CEO of Manchester United.

Unexpectedly, things are not over yet.

Before leading the team to London, many reporters asked about Manchester United at the regular press conference of Manchester City Club.

These media did not know how they learned that Manchester United had invited Wan Sheng to coach, and they showed a strong interest in it. Perhaps more importantly, if Wan Sheng agreed to coach Manchester United, it would definitely be equivalent to an earthquake of magnitude 8. news.

Among them, the Manchester United media is the most active. They think that Manchester United can take a fancy to Wansheng and invite Wansheng to coach with sincerity, and Wansheng should agree.

After all... they are Manchester United!

The questions from these reporters made Wan Sheng feel very uncomfortable. At first Wan Sheng still refuted the rumor that he could not coach Manchester United. Later, when he heard these 'high above' tone, he clearly said, "Why should I go to Manchester United to coach? Tell me You guys, this is absolutely impossible! I am Chinese and have nothing to do with any club in England. What historical honors Manchester United won has nothing to do with me, and to be honest, I still have a grudge with Manchester United. I am a stingy person. I'm very vengeful, but I don't want to coach a team with a 'vengeful' team!"

Immediately, many reporters burst out laughing.

Wan Sheng hadn't finished speaking, and when the laughter stopped, he continued, "I don't know why the manager of Manchester United always gets involved with me, obviously Ferguson is still in place, and he himself said that he is not old enough to retire. If you really can't find the so-called 'Ferguson successor', I can help recommend, my assistant coach Gayle is good, our relationship is very good, after he takes over as Manchester United manager, maybe Manchester City and Manchester United can develop some friendship What, that's probably a very interesting thing..."

Suddenly, the laughter from the audience grew louder. Almost all the Manchester City media and neutral media laughed, and only the Manchester United media gritted their teeth. They felt that Manchester United had been greatly insulted.

A "Manchester Sports News" reporter asked, "Mr. Wan Sheng, don't you think it's too arrogant to mock Manchester United like this?"

Wan Sheng pointed at the reporter and said angrily, "Arrogant? No, not at all! I said just now, I will not coach Manchester United, but you have to keep asking endless questions. I am not a Manchester United fan, and I hate Manchester United very much. As you all know, I am a vengeful person, and now my fun is to lead my team to beat Manchester United, and whenever I see Manchester United fail, I feel very happy."

"Tomorrow's game, I will do that, take Manchester United's League Cup, very interesting, the championship belongs to us, belongs to Manchester City!"
