Chapter 71 Focus on the Present

When the coaching change rumors came out, the fans spontaneously began to support Gao Hongbo's post on the Internet. There is no official news yet, it's just a Weibo, but 70 to 80% of the fans would rather believe it, because For such things, Chinese football has historical references in the past.

The football association, which has been reviled by thousands of people, has no other skills, but the operation of changing coaches is very proficient.

The position of head coach of the Chinese national team has almost become the most dangerous position in the world. In the past 20 years, the head coach has been changed 11 times. Almost no head coach can end his life in this position, and none of them can do it for two years.

Poor performance in the competition? Change coaches! Discord in the team atmosphere? Changing coaches solved it.

It's useless to have a good score in the competition, it depends on whether you are obedient or not? Change coaches!

This point is the 2005 World Youth Championship Chinese team coach Kraushen. Although he led the National Youth League to play the most glorious performance of the national team in the World Championship in the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, he was still kicked out by the Chinese Football Association for "difference in concept". Step down, but the real reason is that before the World Youth Championship, Krautchen took the team away from football to go on vacation and relax, and it exceeded the three days stipulated by the Football Association, and stayed for a full nine days. I can't continue to stay in this team that shoulders the mission of the Beijing Olympics. In the end, he was taken over by the "obedient" Dujkovic.

Of course, everyone knows the record of the Beijing Olympics. Until now, Krautchen still said that if he led the Olympic team, he would have hope to win a medal in the Beijing Olympics.

Coincidentally, Ali Han, who led the Chinese team to the runner-up of the Asian Cup in 2004, was dismissed for this reason. In the semi-final match against Iran in the half-time lounge, Alihan couldn't stand the team leader's pointless gestures, and shouted angrily, "Either you go out or I go out", which laid the groundwork. Later, the Chinese team was eliminated in the world preliminaries and missed the World Cup in Germany. Naturally, it became the best reason for Alihan to dismiss get out of class. Of course, fans who know the inside story of that exit will know who is the one who should really apologize.

In short, if the Chinese Football Association wants to get rid of the head coach, there are all kinds of reasons. This time, the fans seem to see a new trick: not enough fame.

This is indeed the case. Gao Hongbo, who has an excellent record and handles harmonious relations with the national team, has been pushed to the forefront, but it is likely that he will inevitably follow in the footsteps of his predecessors. Both soft power and hard power are available, but the "original sin" of fame is the only one that can't get rid of-Gao Hongbo's reputation is indeed not as good as the world's famous coaches. Although there is an Asian Cup champion, the Chinese Football Association does not trust him to lead the country at the threshold of the World Cup The strength of the team to face the strong Asian teams. Of course, if everything comes true in the end, the official statement will definitely come up with very convincing reasons, such as: planning ahead for the World Cup.

But just a simple Weibo message was released, and the fans were already blown away. The official Weibo of the Chinese Football Association was captured in the first place, and many fans scolded the Football Association for two years. toss.

"It's only now that I find out that the real face of the pig association is Muyang dog. No matter how good your own people are, it's useless. You just can't do it if you want to go to the World Cup. It's good for foreign handsome to fart. Hehe, these people are still from Chinese football. Manager, no wonder Chinese football has been unable to advance!"

"I'm tired of scolding for so many years. I just want to ask, how much oil and water can I have this time, so that the officials and lords can't wait to change the coach at this juncture."

"Now you start to believe in fame? Then the Football Association, why did you replace Kraushen with Duy, an idiot? You ruined the most promising generation and continued to go further and further on the road to death."

"The melon-eating crowd is passing by, fans, don't stop, scold vigorously, maybe the Football Association is deliberately releasing a message to find out the wind, the harder you scold, maybe you can turn around."

...

This kind of news was released before the game against Jordan. This game that had no practical significance suddenly became extraordinary. The focus on Gao Hongbo’s fate far surpassed the game itself.

At the pre-match press conference, Gao Hongbo responded positively to such a problem for the first time: "I don't know that this is the case. The Football Association has not communicated with me about this problem. So I am still a national This is the press conference for the top twenty games, so what I am concerned about is the next game and the top ten games in the future. Whether the Football Association changes coaches has nothing to do with me. What I can decide is Let this team go at the current pace, this team has a very good momentum at the moment, thanks to the joint efforts of everyone."

Zhou Tiancheng took the microphone, expressed his attitude, and said to the reporters with a smile: "This is our home game, but why do I feel that I am treated as an away game? I know that all reporters have to rely on various news to support their families, but please don't Use this kind of news to influence the national team, OK? Next time you ask this kind of question in the open, please find out who the rumored person is first, and then don’t use this kind of rumored news to make everyone laugh. ?”

Immediately there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

After the press conference, Gao Hongbo chatted with Zhou Tiancheng with a smile: "It seems that you don't believe that I am leaving get out of class."

Zhou Tiancheng was stunned: "If I were the chairman of the Football Association, I would definitely not be able to do this kind of thing like crossing rivers and destroying bridges to kill heroes."

Gao Hongbo smiled: "What if I tell you that this matter may be true?"

Zhou Tiancheng was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you just now..."

"Can what I said to the reporter be completely true? I shouldn't be saying this kind of thing, but I want to know what you think now... From the standpoint of friends, we should be considered friends, right?"

Zhou Tiancheng shrugged: "Director Gao, you can't even decide on things. I can have any ideas. I'm just a player, as long as I can win."

Gao Hongbo nodded, he was very satisfied with Zhou Tiancheng's answer.

It can be seen that the transfer rumors of the national team still have an impact on the national team. During training, some fringe international players who are not stable in the national team began to worry that the coaching change would affect them. Training status, and speculation about a coaching change has also begun to circulate among the players.

Before the game, Gao Hongbo used an extremely offensive three-back formation. After the arrangement, he said to everyone: "You are all professional players. No matter what the future is, you can only move forward at this point and put the players in front of you. Kill your opponent, this is your constant goal, since there is no pressure in this match, everyone let go of the fight. Fight against attack, I want to see you run as hard as you can!"

Gao Hongbo didn't intend to have any reservations. This may be his last game in charge of the national team, so he values ​​every minute now even more. Even if he leaves, he will retire with a record of unbeaten group matches.
