Chapter 37 The Second Chinese Coach

In this way, Gao Hongbo started working in Lazio's coaching staff as a "guest coach".

At noon that day, Chang Sheng introduced Gao Hongbo to his colleagues.

The introduction he used was: "the most promising young head coach in China". Gao Hongbo was a little embarrassed by his identity.

Compared with Chang Sheng, how promising is he?

Chang Sheng told the coaching staff that Gao Hongbo came to study, so if he has any questions, everyone should try their best to answer his questions. At the same time, let Gao Hongbo ask questions if he doesn't understand, there is nothing to be embarrassed about here.

Since you are here to learn, you must learn thoroughly, and you can't learn with only a half-knowledge.

He also told Gao Hongbo the address of his home. If it is not convenient to communicate on the phone, he can come to Chang Sheng's home to communicate at any time.

During training in the afternoon, Chang Sheng introduced Gao Hongbo to the players and told them that from now on, this yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese coach like him will also be a member of Lazio's coaching staff.

However, due to identity issues, Gao Hongbo is not eligible to sit on the coach's bench during the game.

But Chang Sheng arranged for him a home seat closest to the coach's bench.

In this way, he can observe the game from the perspective of a head coach.

At the same time, maybe he can also hear the voice on the coach's bench, which will also help him learn how to command on the spot.

Gao Hongbo couldn't be more satisfied with Chang Sheng's arrangement.

Compared with his previous plan, now is the best result.

He can really enter this coaching team and learn the most advanced training and tactics in Europe.

He is now more confident about his future.

He knows that he is short of time, and there is not much time left for him and Chinese football.

So he will work and study day and night.

Like a sapling, frantically absorbing nutrients.

As for Chang Sheng, he seems to see the shadow of his "brother" in Gao Hongbo, who studies like crazy.

He thought that his "brother" might be like this when he traveled to Europe at his own expense. It's just that he is not as lucky as Gao Hongbo, and he has his own help.

He endured countless blank stares. Only then did I finally have the later results.

Fortunately, his current grades did not embarrass him...

It's just... When he left China and came to Europe to study, was he filled with the ideal of returning to China to serve the motherland like Gao Hongbo did?

※※※

The media also quickly discovered that Lazio's coaching staff had an extra Chinese like Chang Sheng.

But they are not very interested, they are only interested in Chang Sheng in the coaching staff.

The exception is the Chinese media.

The few Chinese reporters recognized at a glance that the Chinese coach who appeared on the Lazio Formello training ground was...Gao Hongbo!

Gao Hongbo is already a celebrity in the Chinese football circle.

It's the same as a striker, and it's the same as a coach.

He once led Changchun Yatai to the Super League championship in 2007. This is the fourth team in Chinese football to win the top league championship since it became professional!

Moreover, Changchun Yatai is not a traditional strong team like Dalian, Shandong and Shanghai. It is even more difficult for them to win the league championship.

Gao Hongbo contributed a lot to this achievement.

At that time, Gao Hongbo was also elected as the best coach in the Chinese Super League.

However, the 2008 season was suitable for the general. He was forced to leave get out of class by the team. Then he disappeared from the public eye, focusing on taking care of his children and resting at home.

Facing other coaching invitations. He didn't agree either.

No one knows what he wants to do.

I didn't expect him to appear here and become Lazio's coach!

Is it an invitation from Chang Sheng?

After the training, Gao Hongbo was surrounded by Chinese reporters: "Director Gao, why are you here?"

Everyone still calls him according to the name in China.

And Gao Hongbo also wanted to call the reporter "teacher" when he was in China.

"Ah, Mr. Chen, you also came to Italy? I came to study in Lazio." Gao Hongbo said with a smile.

"Study?" A group of reporters were surprised. What does the best coach in the Chinese Super League learn?

"After class in Changchun, I realized that I still have a lot of shortcomings, so I decided to come to the best team to study." Gao Hongbo introduced.

"Then how is your study going, Director Gao?"

"Very good, I have benefited a lot." Gao Hongbo nodded and said.

The reporters were all good at reading facial expressions. They carefully observed Gao Hongbo's expression when he said these words, and found that he did not seem to be lying.

It is really beneficial.

But it's only one day!

Gao Hongbo seemed to notice the confusion and surprise of the reporters. He said with a smile: "Every training detail of the top European teams is worthy of my serious study and thinking. Even the warm-up moves, I also benefited a lot."

Then he was unwilling to say anything more, and politely bid farewell to the reporters. Then walk away.

His wife works in the press office of the Chinese Football Association and deals with the Chinese media every day. Naturally, she knows the virtues of these media reporters.

Just like women and villains, if you are close, you will not be grandchildren, and if you are far away, you will complain. It's not good to get too close to them. It's totally okay and not good.

After politely answering the reporters' questions, he refused to talk further.

※※※

Gao Hongbo's study and work in Lazio soon spread to China through these media.

China was also surprised.

No one knew that Gao Hongbo hadn't seen him for a while. He even went to Lazio...

After being surprised, many people felt that this was a good choice, and it was better to go abroad for development than to stay in China.

Moreover, he has even won the Chinese Super League in China. What else does he pursue? Is it possible that he still wants to be the head coach of the national team?

Chang Sheng made a start for Chinese coaches, that is, not to be confined to the domestic environment, but to go out bravely. Players can study abroad, as can coaches.

The backwardness of Chinese football is not only due to the inferior skills of the players, but also the inferior skills of our coaches.

Otherwise, why does the Chinese Football Association always look for foreign coaches? Isn't it that future monks will be able to recite scriptures?

From Schlappner to Horton, from Milutinovic to Arihan. From Dujkovic to Folado, in the end, he would rather replace Gao Hongbo, who led the team with good results, and use a second-rate European Camacho...

If the level of Chinese coaches can also be in line with the world, maybe our Chinese football level will be improved and improved.

Don't talk about institutional issues, this issue cannot be changed. But just because there are problems with the system, you can’t put all the responsibility on the system, and then do nothing, just scold the system. That’s not what people who do business should do.

Within the framework of the system, improve the strength of Chinese football as much as possible. Even a centimeter of progress is progress.

This requires players and coaches to work together.

If the players want to study abroad, the coaches can also leave a message!

As the pioneer of Chinese coaches, Chang Sheng has already laid a good foundation for Chinese football in Europe.

As long as you are really capable. He is also open-minded and eager to learn, as long as he is willing to let go of the treatment of being a head coach in China and starting from a primary school student, he will definitely learn something.

In theory, this is a beautiful vision.

If only we had more Changsheng and Gao Hongbo. Why is there no way out for Chinese football?

But the actual situation is very cruel. Chang Sheng has been working hard in European football for nine years, and now only one Gao Hongbo came to him to study and work in Lazio.

Is it because Gao Hongbo is so smart that he thought of something that others couldn't think of?

no.

In fact, it's just because going abroad to be a grandson is not as good as being a grandpa in China?

As a coach in China, you can receive red envelopes. You can gamble, you can get kickbacks... There are many benefits, no matter how well you lead the team. This team allowed themselves to be relegated. Change teams and continue to eat. Someone will always pay for themselves.

If you go to Europe, you will lose all these privileges. You have to be called around by those foreigners like a grandson, and you have to work very hard to do things that you have long since stopped doing in China. It is not worth it.

Another most important reason is... In fact, the level of the vast majority of Chinese coaches is simply looked down upon by European football. Even if you go to the door, you will only get rejected.

How much did Chang Sheng suffer during his study tour in Europe? Those experiences of his made Wen feel sad. The listeners wept, and few people could persevere.

He persisted for more than ten years before he achieved his later achievements.

Who wants to suffer for more than ten years. Just for a future that I don't know if I can succeed?

With this time, the uncle who has been in China for more than ten years has already made a lot of money.

Therefore, Chang Sheng is the first Chinese coach to study abroad at his own expense, and after so long, Gao Hongbo became the second.

※※※

Because of Gao Hongbo's relationship, the Chinese media paid more attention to Lazio.

After all, there are two Chinese coaches in this team, and their Chinese elements are getting more and more, and Chinese fans are paying more attention to it. The Chinese media will naturally satisfy their wishes.

The reports of the Chinese media have made many Chinese media have more favorable impressions of Lazio.

They even jokingly called Lazio "an old friend of Chinese fans".

Because Lazio is training excellent coaches for Chinese football!

Chang Sheng has achieved success and fame, but Gao Hongbo still has infinite possibilities, so they are more willing to pay attention to Gao Hongbo now. Even Chang Sheng was robbed of the limelight by him.

But Chang Sheng doesn't care about these.

Chinese fans fantasized that after Gao Hong has completed his studies, he will go out to explore the world alone, become a head coach like Chang Sheng, and lead a European team to gallop in the European arena.

"Don't come back if you play well!" This is the ardent expectation and entrustment of Chinese fans to Gao Hongbo.

Sometimes Chang Sheng would point to such words on the domestic Internet to show Gao Hongbo.

Gao Hongbo just smiled and remained silent.

Who knew that this skinny man had an idiotic big dream in his heart? (to be continued)
