Chapter 1,107 Temptation

"I haven't officially signed a contract with your Football Association yet." Camacho glanced at Gao Xiaodong who was slowly tasting wine and said lightly.

This sentence has a profound meaning. There is no formal signing, which means that Camacho is not the head coach of the Chinese team yet. This is a private meeting. At the same time, it will also make people wonder why he wants to talk to Gao Xiaodong before he becomes the head coach. Meet.

Gao Xiaodong smiled slightly and said: "What a coincidence, I have never officially played for the national team."

These words were threatening. Camacho heard it and smiled bitterly. This kid is really a thorn in the side. If you don't subdue him, it may not be easy to control the Chinese team in the future.

"I have not officially signed a contract with the Chinese Football Association. One concern is whether you will play for my Chinese team." Camacho stated his intention directly and frankly.

"I really want to know, if I don't play for the national team, will you still sign with the Chinese team?" Gao Xiaodong asked with a smile.

Camacho said firmly: "Yes, but I will raise my salary requirements because this will be a more difficult job."

What? Gao Xiaodong excitedly slapped his thigh and said, "You came here earlier. If I knew what you were thinking, I would have refused the call from the national team."

Camacho was confused when he heard this and said: "What do you mean?"

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Because this will allow them to spend more money."

Camacho looked at Gao Xiaodong blankly, even more confused. What did Gao Xiaodong mean? Did he want the Football Association to spend more money, or did he want himself to get a higher salary?

Gao Xiaodong did not explain, and said: "It's too late now. I have decided to play for the country and promised the Football Association to come. Of course, Coach Camacho, you can rest assured and sign a contract with the Football Association."

Camacho understood this sentence and he was very happy, "That would be great, Gao, you will have an important position in my team."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "How important is that?"

Camacho was stunned again. Because he was going to coach the Chinese national team, he had done some research on the Chinese nation. According to the information, the Chinese people were modest, low-key, and reserved. However, the man in front of him was not reserved at all. He actually asked him directly about his future career in China. position in the national team.

Camacho really did not seriously consider Gao Xiaodong's position and status in the Chinese national team in the future. In a hurry, he did not dare to make any promises to Gao Xiaodong. He could only say with a smile: "You are in the team." The first star,

Naturally, he will have the status of the number one star, and the core of the team cannot escape. "

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Then I want to be the captain, okay?"

"This..." Camacho hesitated. He really didn't agree to this easily. With Gao Xiaodong's skills, even if he joins the national team for the first time, there is no doubt that he will be the core. However, the position of captain is very special, but Being a captain does not depend on your skills. Being a captain depends more on your qualifications, prestige and connections. If Gao Xiaodong becomes the captain as soon as he joins the team, Camacho wonders if it will offend the interests of the former national team boss.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "It's not easy to handle. It's nothing. Coach Camacho, don't take it seriously. I'm just joking."

Camacho smiled bitterly and said: "Gao, I have just signed a contract with your Football Association. I don't know much about your national team. It's really hard to promise you this. But being a vice-captain shouldn't be a big problem. The position of captain requires Wait and see.”

vice captain? Am I so curious? I have been the vice-captain at both Manchester United and Inter Milan. Gao Xiaodong put away his smile and said calmly: "Coach, I told you, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. In fact, I want to know more now. It’s your tactical philosophy.”

Speaking of tactical concepts, Camacho relaxed, "Gao, I know what you are worried about. Let me tell you, although I am a Spanish coach, I don't like the pass-and-control style. I prefer a simple and fast style of play. Well, , similar to the Premier League, it will definitely not be a problem for you to adapt, and you will soon like my style of play."

"I like it, I'm afraid of being controlled by hypnosis."

Gao Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief. He is a special one. The superstar system allows him to have star-level skills in all positions on the court. He can adapt to any playing style. The reason why he asked Camacho was because he wanted to know about Camacho. What kind of national team does he want to build? If Camacho wants the national football team to play like Barcelona, ​​then he will probably be disappointed. Although Gao Xiaodong has never been in the national team, he is very clear about the technical level of those compatriots. Simple A direct and non-brain-burning style of play is more suitable for the Chinese team.

Camacho was relieved when he heard that Gao Xiaodong had no objection. Gao Xiaodong is the number one star in China and the darling of hundreds of millions of fans. If Gao Xiaodong and his football philosophy are not in line, his coaching career will be very difficult.

"As long as you like it. You are the number one star in China and the number one star in the world. All my team can do is make you feel comfortable. Only when you feel comfortable can the Chinese team win."

The conversation between Camacho and Gao Xiaodong was quite speculative, so he lost no time in flattering Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong reciprocated and said: "No, no, the team is a team, a whole. Only when the team is comfortable, I will be comfortable, and we will win."

Camacho was very happy with Gao Xiaodong's awakening and said: "Our problem now is that the time is too short. There is only one month left before the top 20 competition. It is not easy to pick the right players in one month, let alone Now that you have adjusted your playing style, Gao, do you have any good ideas?"

You asked me this when we first met? The foreigner really didn’t see outsiders. Gao Xiaodong shook his head cautiously and said: “I don’t pay much attention to domestic football. I’m afraid it’s difficult to give you good advice. I think you should listen more to the opinions of domestic coaches and players. Bar."

On the surface Camacho asked Gao Xiaodong for his opinion, but in fact he was testing Gao Xiaodong. He was more worried that Gao Xiaodong would use his reputation and ability to control the team and sideline him as the head coach. This kind of thing does not happen in Europe. Young, in a strange country like China, there is a language barrier, and Gao Xiaodong is two levels ahead of other players. Camacho's worries are not without reason.

Gao Xiaodong's answer made Camacho feel better. He felt that he had a good chat with Gao Xiaodong, so he said bluntly: "Gao, you are one of the best players I have ever seen. I have always been curious about why you always What if you refuse to play for the national team?”

Gao Xiaodong's entanglement with the Football Association and the national team is very complicated. Many people in the country do not fully understand it, let alone Camacho, a foreigner. And this issue is something Camacho must know, so even if he is the first When they met for the first time, Camacho still raised this pointed question.

Gao Xiaodong said seriously: "Coach Camacho, I think you have misunderstood. First of all, it is not that I refuse to play for the country. It is the national team that refuses me to play for the country. They have never recruited me. The Football Association and the coach have prejudices against me." , they refused me to join the national team because of personal grudges. Facts have proved that they are a group of silverfish. Now they are all in jail, and the dawn of Chinese football has dawned."

Gao Xiaodong did not give specific details. Although Camacho could not guess the entanglement between the two parties, he did not continue to ask because the current information was enough for him. In other words, Gao Xiaodong was in the Football Association and the country. There is no foundation within the team, which is a major benefit for Camacho to control the team in the future.

Then Camacho did not ask Gao Xiaodong any more sensitive questions. The two talked about Manchester United and Gao Xiaodong's position and playing style in Manchester United, and talked about the World Cup qualifiers in Asia. After communicating for almost two hours, Gao Xiaodong He said goodbye and left.
