Chapter 223 - The Transformation Plan of the National Olympic Team
A week ago, the Chinese Football Association announced that An Rong would become the new coach of the National Olympic team, but An Rong did not meet with the media for a long time, and it was not until today that he and Guo Fan appeared in front of reporters, which also means that he officially took charge of the coaching whip of the National Olympic team.

The reason why he waited so long was mainly because An Rong's appointment was too fast! Just after Long Yongdi and Blazevic got out of class, Guo Fan took over the position of head of the Football Association, and then announced that An Rong became the head coach of the National Olympic team.
Some people have also wondered why the head coach of the National Olympic Team was determined so quickly, and whether it was decided within the Football Association? Guo Fan could not answer such a question face-to-face. In fact, according to the reporters' ability to go to heaven and earth, sooner or later the relationship between him and An Rong will be excavated, but judging from the current situation, Guo Fan feels that it can be delayed for a day.
At the media conference, Guo Fan sat next to An Rong, and most of the cameras and cameras of the reporters in the audience were shooting at An Rong. Last time, many reporters have asked a lot of questions from Guo Fan, and today of course the focus must be on the mysterious head coach of the National Olympic team.
Guo Fan was also very knowledgeable, so he just sat next to An Rong, and almost didn't speak, basically listening to An Rong talking.
When a reporter asked An Rong what he thought of coaching the national Olympic team, An Rong said that he had no special opinion. A reporter asked him how he felt when he went from the coach of the Chinese League A team to the coach of the National Olympic team, which can be regarded as soaring into the sky? An Rong's answer was very direct, and he said that the feeling was the same as before, nothing more than going from one team to another.
There are also reporters who deliberately make things difficult for him, saying that although he brought out an excellent player like Zhang Shujie, the amateur league is different from the professional league, and how should he prove himself in the position of the national Olympic team?
This question is really mean, An Rong has not even brought a national Olympic team game, and the reporter asked him how to prove his ability. How can you prove that you haven't played a game? Do you say it with your mouth? That's not possible at all! An Rong can't prove it for the time being.
Guo Fan looked at An Rong beside him thoughtfully, and listened to how he answered the snarky reporter's question.
An Rong looked at the reporter with a smile and responded lightly: "Chairman Guo made it very clear to everyone last week that if the national Olympic team fails to enter the London Olympics, the two of us will automatically resign." ”
His answer was very clever, which can be said to avoid the reporter's edge, but the reporter asked: "Listening to the tone of Ann's guidance, it seems that the national Olympic team should be able to go to London, right?"
An Rong replied: "In recent years, there have been several young Chinese players who have played in Europe and achieved great results, and if you just look at the individual quality of the players, I think we have a good chance of going to London. ”
"But football is a whole game, and it's only a few players who play in Europe, is that appropriate?"
"When did I say that it would only be up to those foreign players? I mean, they will be the backbone of the Olympic team. ”
Another reporter stood up and asked An Rong: "May I ask Director An, in the recent series of warm-up matches of the National Olympic team, Zhang Shujie and others have not been recruited." Do you mean that you plan to recruit them back to China in the next competition?"
"It shouldn't be in a short period of time, I have to make an adjustment to the national Olympic team first. As we all know, the current national Olympic team is built with players born in the first year as the main team, from 2007 to now, it has been four years. During this process, players such as Zhang Shujie and Li Mu briefly entered the National Olympic team, but they did not play official games, but only played in training matches. Even Xu Ziyi and Yan Tao only participated in the Asian Games at the end of last year, and they spent only a short time in the national Olympic team. ”
A reporter was not very satisfied with the nonsense An Rong said, so he said: "We all understand what An instructed you, you just said that you want to remove a few members of the National Olympic team who did not perform well from the team for the sake of Zhang Shujie and a few others, right?"
It's too straightforward! Very few journalists would say such things in front of a manager. But this reporter thought that An Rong had just taken office and was easy to bully, so he helped him say what he thought in his heart, wanting to see how this "rookie coach" would respond.
Other reporters are also waiting for the show to play out to see if An Rong will say any euphemistic excuses. However, An Rong's answer surprised everyone!
He said very plainly: "I don't want to eliminate some players who perform too poorly, in fact, who is the regular guest of this year's National Olympic team who performs well? I have watched their games, and they have no fighting spirit, no technology, no enterprising, and no mental outlook! This is simply a 'four-no' team! Even if Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Ma Junqiang and others come to the team, they will be affected by this team that has no fighting spirit! I don't want to see my disciples perform like this! Of course, as long as they perform well under me, they can continue to stay in the national Olympic team. ”
An Rong's words made the reporters in the audience quiet for a few seconds, and everyone looked at this rookie-level coach with some surprise in their hearts. Didn't he just take up the whip today? He had never even seen the faces of the players of the national Olympic team, and he actually said such a thing, which ...... The reporters couldn't react a little.
Guo Fan snickered on the side, of course he knew what An Rong was thinking in his heart, the new coach wanted to disband the National Olympic team, but he couldn't be in a hurry to disband it immediately, but there had to be a process. As for what the process was, Guo Fan didn't know. That's what the head coach is worried about, Guo Fan doesn't know how to lead the team, even if he knows, he can't do anything.
Anyway, An Rong has his own ideas, so Guo Fan doesn't have to worry about it.
The meeting with the media was not long, and after the reporters, An Rong and Guo Fan also left, but An Rong did not go back, nor was he busy gathering the members of the National Olympic team in various clubs, he went to Guo Fan's office, and the two still had some things to discuss.
One of these two people is the vice president of the Football Association, and the other is the new head coach of the national Olympic team, and what they want to say is naturally related to the national Olympic team.
"By the way, Guo Fan," As soon as An Rong sat down on the sofa, he had something to ask Guo Fan, but Guo Fan said: "Eh, what is 'Guo Fan'?
An Rong gave him a roll of his eyes: "Okay, there are no outsiders here, don't pretend." ”
Guo Fan smiled: "Okay, Rongzi, do you have anything to discuss with me?"
"I'm going to take the members of the Olympic team to Europe for training. ”
"So anxious to go to Europe?" Guo Fan said as he made tea.
"Well, I have my thoughts. You should have heard my attitude in front of reporters just now. ”
Guo Fan nodded and said, "You want to form a new National Olympic team." ”
"Is that what you're thinking?"
"Me?" Guo Fan pretended to be stupid and asked, "Did I say such a thing?"
"Come less, you told me to pay more attention to the young players in China a few months ago, and at that time you were thinking about the position of vice president of the Football Association, you can't see it?"
Guo Fan laughed, made a cup of tea for An Rong, and made another cup for himself before saying, "That's right, I do mean that." ”
An Rong said: "I admire you a lot, how could you have guessed that you would be able to sit in this position so quickly?"
"Oh, that's because of the contradiction between Long Yongdi and Chairman Wu, which allowed me to take advantage. ”
"Tell you the truth! Your words are also bluffing the media. An Rong took a sip of tea.
Guo Fan held the teacup, gently blew the tea inside, and asked, "Do you remember, I told you about the Chinese Football Association's anti-corruption before?"
"The whole of China knows this...... Wait, you mean...... Long Yongdi ......"
Guo Fan shook his head: "No, Long Yongdi is not counted." Since Xie Mulong was arrested, the position of the head of the Football Association has been targeted all the time, and Long Yongdi did not dare to mess around at all. ”
"So, what's the reason?"
"You should know that although the vice president of the Chinese Football Association is recognized as the head of the team, in fact, the real top leader is the chairman of the Football Association, that is, Wu Shiwei. ”
"Yes, it is. But Chairman Wu's identity as the 'president of the Football Association' is often just a name, because he does not manage Chinese football. ”
Guo Fan smiled: "That's just because Wu Shiwei doesn't appear in front of reporters from the sports media, if there is a high-level meeting within the Football Association, sometimes he has to organize it." Also, he will often speak for the performance of the national football team, but he will not make a public statement, and the vice chairman is the 'full-time' of the Football Association and has actual power in hand, so Wu Shiwei does not have to directly manage Chinese football, and this responsibility falls on the shoulders of the vice chairman. ”
An Rong frowned and asked, "You said so much, is it possible that the anti-corruption campaign in football has involved Wu Shiwei?"
An Rong said extremely calmly, Guo Fan was also very calm, smiled, and said: "I can't be sure, but Long Yongdi seems to know something, which makes Wu Shiwei feel a little scared." ”
A simple sentence, but it contains too much information! An Rong now understood the reason why Wu Shiwei was in a hurry to let Long Yongdi get out. Guo Fan said "can't be sure", it is estimated that the evidence is insufficient, but if Long Yongdi sits in the position of vice chairman for a long time, he will deal with Wu Shiwei every day, which makes Wu Shiwei very down-to-earth, so Wu Shiwei found a not very good reason and drove Long Yongdi away.
What does Guo Fan know?
Guo Fan saw the confusion in An Rong's eyes, and said: "Wu Shiwei doesn't know anything about me, he thinks I don't know anything, and thinks that I just entered here simply by relationship." ”
An Rong nodded, and didn't ask again, just know some things, and before the truth is revealed, there is no need to get to the bottom of it.
Guo Fan looked at An Rong and said, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about you, when do you plan to go to Europe to practice?"
"The sooner the better!"
"Hmm...... Where are you going to go at the first stop?"
"France. Stop by to see Tian Lei. ”
Speaking of "Tian Lei", Guo Fan seemed to think about it: "That guy, I've immigrated to France for almost fifteen years, right?"
"It's been almost 20 years!
"He seems to have been a manager in the second tier of the French second division for a while before quitting. ”
"This time I led the team to France, and in addition to visiting him, I also wanted to try to find someone to see if I could find him. ”
Guo Fan's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment before he said, "Chen Zihua?"
"Yes. I'm sure he's still in France, maybe playing in an amateur club. An Rong laughed as he spoke.
Guo Fan didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say.
After drinking the tea in the cup, Guo Fan poured it again and said, "I will arrange it for you as soon as possible." On the reorganization of the Olympic team...... Let me be straight, when are you going to disband the current Olympic team?"
"After a while. This national Olympic team has been formed for four years, and it is already deeply entrenched, and it will definitely not work to disband immediately, I initially expect it to be in June this year. ”
"June, but the first stage of the Olympic qualifiers is about to begin. ”
"I knew I was going to band the team after the two rounds of qualifying. The second round of 12 started at the end of September, and I had three months to rebuild my team. ”
Guo Fan nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I'll help you arrange to go to Europe for training, and as for the coaching of the National Olympic team, I won't interfere with you." I'll bear the pressure from above, the two of us are now in the same boat, and it's up to you how far this boat can sail!"
