Chapter 346 World-Class Coach

Everyone in the media is discussing Lazio's unbeaten and winning streak.  M

But Changsheng is still not interested in this.

His eyes are on the Italian Cup quarter-finals and the Asian Cup.

After the game with Bologna, the Asian Cup quarter-finals in Qatar also kicked off.

The Chinese team was unfortunately drawn with the Japanese team in the quarter-final draw.

The strength of the two sides is too different, so after the draw results came out, many calm people thought that the Chinese team was doomed to lose this time.

Although there are many patriotic fans shouting to kill the little Japanese, football games cannot be won by patriotic enthusiasm alone...

To be honest, the Chinese team played very tenaciously in this game.

Twelve minutes into the game, they scored a goal and took the lead.

This start was beyond many people's expectations.

But then the Japanese team equalized the score with their star Kagawa Shinji who played for Dortmund.

In this game, the Chinese team played Gao Hongbo's tactics to the fullest, which actually gave the Japanese team some headaches.

Neither side scored a goal in the first half.

The score was 1:1 and the halftime break began.

Changsheng also watched this game on TV.

No matter what he was doing or how busy he was, he would definitely watch the Chinese team's game.

He is a fan of Chinese football and he likes Chinese football. This love has nothing to do with who is in charge of the Chinese Football Association or what the Chinese sports system is. It's just because he likes football and he is a Chinese, so he likes and supports the Chinese team.

It's that simple. In his heart, the Chinese team can represent him.

He is willing to see Chinese football get better. Even if this good thing will be picked by the Football Association in the end, it's better.

Just like people always say that the Chinese team broke into the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, and the Chinese women's football team was brilliant, which all served as a fig leaf for the Football Association. But don't such results bring even a little joy to the fans?

As long as the fans are happy,

isn't that enough?

The Football Association uses it as a fig leaf or something, which is not something ordinary fans can control.

But at least they can feel happy, and each takes what they need.

In fact, it is almost impossible not to let the Football Association use it as a fig leaf. The Football Association of any country will regard the national team's performance as its own credit. If the national team's performance is good during its leadership, it is its performance, which is understandable.

Changsheng is very open-minded about this. He does not think that Chinese football should let the Football Association get out completely. That would be unplayable.

The Football Association can do whatever it wants, he just wants to enjoy the victory of the national football team.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and the team that scored first was still the Chinese team!

In the 63rd minute. The Chinese team took the lead again.

However, just like the first half, it didn't take long for the Japanese team to equalize the score again, and the goal was still scored by Shinji Kagawa.

Then Gao Hongbo began to retreat to defend, and they used the ball possession tactics to defend.

Dealing with the Japanese team.

The game lasted until the 89th minute. The deadlock was finally broken.

The Japanese team scored a goal at the last moment by Inoha Masahiko, and finally defeated the Chinese team 3:2.

The Chinese team was eliminated.

When seeing this result, Changsheng sat on the sofa and sighed.

If it weren't for the Japanese team, the Chinese team might have gone further.

Today's Japanese team is too strong, far from being able to compete with the Chinese team... In fact, Japanese football has already transcended the taste of Asian football. Their strength far exceeds that of other Asian teams, whether in East Asia or West Asia.

And what about Chinese football? Still hovering.

With such a strength comparison, it is really difficult for the Chinese team to beat the Japanese team in this game.

So Changsheng didn't get angry because the Chinese team lost to the Japanese team. It is normal that the Chinese team can't beat the Japanese team.

The important thing is to see the progress of Chinese football here.

When facing the powerful enemy Japanese team, the Chinese team performed neither humble nor arrogant, very calm, and even took the lead twice in the game.

This performance was before the Asian Cup. Can you think of it?

No.

But the Chinese team did it.

This is progress.

It is remarkable that there can be such progress when Chinese football is in a dark trough.

Changsheng saw his role in this.

This shows that his method is useful.

Then we can continue to cooperate like this in the future.

※ ※ ※

The Asian Cup reached the quarterfinals. In the end, they were eliminated by the Japanese team, but the performance was very outstanding. Chang Sheng felt that Gao Hongbo's position as coach should be stable with his help, and he would not have to see Camacho, a second-rate coach, coach the Chinese team.

But unexpectedly, he still received a call from the Chinese Football Association.

And the Football Association called to invite him to coach the Chinese team!

Chang Sheng was stunned when he heard the call. He thought he was back to his old age...

"I am the head coach of the national team?"

"Yes, that's right... We are discussing cooperation with Wanda Group recently. They hope to find a world-class coach for the Chinese national team. In terms of personal treatment, Wanda Group will also fully support it, so there is no need to worry about money..."

Chang Sheng interrupted the other party: "A world-class coach?"

"Yes, Wanda Group believes that only world-class coaches can bring changes to the Chinese team..."

Chang Sheng interrupted the other party again.

He knew very well what Wanda Group was thinking because he came from time travel.

This kind of thing does not need to be repeated through the Football Association's mouthpiece.

Of course he also wanted to refuse directly, but when he thought about it, if he refused so simply and rudely, there was no guarantee that Wanda and the Football Association would not continue to look for famous coaches, and then go around in a circle and find Camacho again... …That’s definitely not what I want to see.

So he thought about it, and I'm afraid he still has to explain this matter to the Football Association and Wanda people.

He knows that the Football Association and Wanda both worship foreigners.

But there are some things that must be said. I don’t know whether others’ words will work or not.

Since both Wanda and the Football Association are willing to come to me for coaching, it means that what I say may still have some energy, right?

But on the phone, it was passed back and forth. Even more inconvenient.

So Chang Sheng did not refuse directly, but told the other party: "If you can come to Rome, we will have an interview."

When the Football Association heard that Chang Sheng took the initiative to invite him for an interview, that's great!

It is naturally better to be able to meet in person than to pass it around on the phone.

So the Football Association quickly called Chang Sheng again and told him that the leaders of the Football Association and the person in charge of Wanda Group would fly to Rome from China in the near future to have an interview with him.

※ ※ ※

In just two days, Chang Sheng met representatives from both sides in Rome.

The Chinese Football Association still attaches great importance to him. The person who came was actually the full-time vice chairman Vidi, and the person who came from Wanda Group was Wang Jianlin's son. Wang Qiang is also a director of Wanda Group.

This specification is quite high.

It also fully demonstrates that the Football Association and Wanda Group attach great importance to this matter.

As for Chang Sheng, he saw what he was worried about from this specification.

The Football Association and Wanda attach great importance to this kind of coaching selection. That further illustrates their determination.

It seems that he was right to insist on an interview, because only when face to face can he convince the other party.

The three parties sat down in an Italian restaurant near Chang Sheng's home.

According to Chinese custom, all discussions must be done at the dinner table.

This time is no exception.

Changsheng entertains guests.

The other side happily accepted it.

The atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

No one went straight to the topic as soon as they came up, but instead started by chatting. Let’s talk about the weather, Italian food, Lazio’s recent results, and the results of the FIFA Ballon d’Or that just ended.

Vidi also criticized FIFA - anyway, there is no cost to say this kind of thing, it doesn't matter, as long as it can win a new one.

Chang Sheng smiled.

Is this considered flattering yourself?

But it's a pity. I will have to reject their kindness next.

Everyone was chatting aimlessly.

Chang Sheng could see that there was some anxiety in Vidi's eyes. He must be anxious to talk about this matter...

Chang Sheng pretended not to see it. Keep talking to them.

It wasn't until halfway through the meal that he put down his knife and fork temporarily, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then put the napkin aside.

Seeing his action, the spirits of the two people opposite him were lifted.

they know. The business is about to begin. So they also put down their knives and forks and looked at Chang Sheng seriously. Wait for him to speak.

Sure enough, Chang Sheng opened his mouth and said: "I am honored to receive the invitation to coach the Chinese national team. Being able to do something for Chinese football has always been what I hope for, just like I did when the Chinese team was preparing for the Asian Cup training. Do the same things..."

Vidi nodded: "Yes, no one will doubt your feelings for Chinese football."

Wang Qiang also nodded.

Chang Sheng continued: "I hope Chinese football is good from the bottom of my heart. I not only say this to you, I also said this to Gao Hongbo. Therefore, just because I hope Chinese football is good, I cannot accept your words." invite."

The two people opposite were smiling, waiting for Chang Sheng to continue talking.

But now when they reacted, the smiles on their faces froze.

Then they looked at each other in surprise.

Did I hear you right?

Chang Sheng rejected us? !

Vidi turned back and looked at Chang Sheng: "Um, I didn't hear you clearly just now, could you..."

Chang Sheng repeated what he said: "I said, I cannot accept your invitation. I will not coach the Chinese national team."

This time Vidi and Wang Qiang were sure that they had heard wrongly, that’s what they say: people always win!

He rejected the invitation outright!
