The rain keeps falling!

Gao Han sighed, and after opening the curtains of the hotel room, what greeted him was a scene of rain.

Last night's game, as if even God was moved by the Chinese team, not long after the game, the sky began to rain heavily, but on the team's way back to the hotel, you can see a lot of fans along the way are partying in the rain.

Even after the team returned to the hotel, thousands of fans gathered outside to cheer and celebrate.

This scene has only happened once in the history of Chinese football, that is, in 2001, the night the national team rushed to the World Cup.

Strictly speaking, the Chinese team has not yet qualified in advance, because there is still the possibility of elimination.

Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility.

But as the head coach of the team, Gao Han was unwilling to do such a reckless thing, so he never mentioned promotion, even in the dressing room after the game, he repeatedly warned the players that whether to advance or not depends on the next away game against Iran.

As long as it is drawn, the Chinese team will basically qualify.

But the fans obviously ignored Gao Han's set, this game for them, not only three points, the most important thing is to beat the South Korean team, completely breaking the curse of Koreanphobia, especially the two red cards, too relieving and powerful.

As for qualifying from the group, they believe in the high cold.

In fact, from the very beginning, everyone believed in Gao Han and believed that he would be able to bring miracles to Chinese football.

As a result, Gao Han did not disappoint them, and changed the national team from the original weak team that was repeatedly defeated to an invincible powerhouse, and the difference during the period was not too big.

But the most important thing is the unprecedented confidence he brings to the team.

Even if it's been a night, even if it rains outside all night, you can still see the celebratory fans outside the hotel gate, some of them partying all night, some of them coming in the morning.

But there is no doubt that they are all waiting for the national team, waiting for the high cold.

"What a lovely bunch of people!" Gao Han muttered with a slight smile.

Due to the rainy weather, there is definitely no way to carry out the recovery training scheduled for the morning, so Gao Han let the international players move freely in the hotel today, and by the way, they can also meet their families, and the team will have lunch and take a lunch break for a while, and fly directly to Tehran in the afternoon to prepare for the game against Iran in four days.

Because of this, the leaders of the General Administration of Sports and the Football Association, as well as the leaders of Hunan Province and City, came to the hotel in the morning to encourage the national team to guard against arrogance and rashness, and strive to get the right to qualify for the top 12 away from home.

The 3-0 defeat to South Korea also gave the national football team confidence, and the players' mental outlook was quite good.

After meeting with the players, Deputy Director Cai took the core leaders of the Football Association to have a brief meeting with Gao Han, and brought a piece of news that surprised Gao Han.

…………

…………

"Stillik is out of class!" said Deputy Director Cai with a smile.

This news made Gao Han a little surprised, which was reasonable, but it was also a little surprising, because it came too quickly.

Four days later, there was another game, and the Korean Football Association asked Stillik to leave class at this time, making it clear that it was going to put all the blame on Stillik, which was still somewhat unfair.

It is undeniable that Stillich did make mistakes, but it is not necessary to say that he is fully responsible.

But for the Chinese Football Association, this is undoubtedly excellent news.

Once upon a time, after the Chinese team lost, the head coach was fired, and when did the South Korean team go back to China and fire the head coach Squid directly after losing to the Chinese team?

This is definitely the first time in the world!

"The current situation of the South Korean team is not optimistic, whether it is the Korean Football Association or the players, I am afraid that they do not trust Stillik, after all, he did have a major mistake in the lineup in last night's game. ”

It is not difficult to see from the replacement of Kim Shin-wook by Stillik in midfield that he is making up for the shortcomings of his starting tactics.

Kim Shin Wook's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, and in this game against China, his advantages were not brought into play, but his disadvantages were exposed to the fullest, and this must be Stillic's responsibility.

"This morning, the Football Association called me, saying that the Football Association's phone is about to be blown up by sponsors and media, many sponsors who don't care about football on weekdays have begun to play the idea of football, many newspapers, magazines and TV stations, have made appointments to visit, and now the enthusiasm for football in China is very high. ”

When Deputy Director Cai said this, his expression was also very complacent.

From his standpoint, Gao Han's achievements also have part of his credit, and they are also achieved during his tenure, which will undoubtedly greatly improve his political performance, how can this not make him excited?

After hearing this, many leaders of the Football Association were excited and disappointed.

The excitement is of course because of the current enthusiasm for domestic football, but the loss is because they did not get Gao Han's portrait rights at the beginning, mainly because they made a mistake at the beginning, and the result is good, and now Gao Han has become the most shining golden sign of the national team, and all sponsors are rushing to it.

Next, every time the national team signs a sponsorship contract, as long as Gao Han is there, it needs to pay a part of the sponsorship fee to Gao Han.

And holding his own portrait rights, Gao Han is equivalent to holding a mountain of gold and silver.

Now, China's economic strength has long been different from what it used to be, and the influence of Gao Han is far beyond that of Mi Lu, with the current domestic economic environment and football enthusiasm, Gao Han's profit will definitely be ten times and 100 times that of Mi Lu.

But they are also very aware that Gao Han is now the general counsel of the football reform team, let alone them, even the people from the General Bureau don't want to touch him, let alone snatch the benefits that belong to him in the first place.

Although Gao Han, the general adviser, is not in the system, he can be said to be a high-ranking authority, he cares about everything, he asks everything, and even the General Administration and the Football Association may have to listen to him, who would be stupid enough to offend him at this time?

"These things are put aside for a while, and the next game against Iran is the key, only by retreating from the away side, or even going all out for a win, can we be considered a real qualifier, and it is too early to say anything. Gao Han Zhengse persuaded.

"I understand, don't worry, we have a sense of proportion, and we won't make mistakes. Deputy Director Cai also replied cautiously.

Gao Han knows very well that playing football is a very money-burning thing, not only for clubs, but also for the Football Association.

The national team entered the World Cup, the Chinese Football Association and the international players must profit from it, which is also what they deserve, Gao Han can't stop it, unless he has a bad brain, so his biggest hope is moderation, and he should learn from Milu's previous experience.

Before the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Milu and the national team were carried away by the joy of rushing into the World Cup, which led to the team's unfavorable preparations, and even public opinion was a little blind and arrogant.

At the end of the day, the world of football is ultimately about strength.

Gao Han knows what the current level of Chinese football is, and he hopes that the Football Association can also understand this.

"By the way, just yesterday morning, the football reform team met to discuss and officially approved your football reform draft, and then you have to prepare well, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy, and we are all counting on you. Deputy Director Cai said with great hope.

Theoretically, what Gao Han is saying now, even he has to pay attention to, and even obey it.

After Gao Han officially agreed to be the general counsel of the reform team, he began to draft a reform draft, and not long ago entrusted Deputy Director Cai to submit it for discussion, which Gao Han had been preparing for many years, Lin Guoping personally checked and filtered, and a lot of content was discussed in the previous conversation with the chief, so it was easy to pass.

This time, the draft proposes more and involves a wider range, which can be described as a comprehensive Chinese football reform plan, from the reform of the management mechanism of the Football Association, to the selection and employment system of national teams, to the organization and operation of the league, and finally to the formation of the entire national campus football and youth training system.

It also includes a lot of suggestions for hiring outstanding foreign experts from abroad, including the promotion of the league's business operation, which Gao Han discussed with Deputy Director Cai before, and this time they were all written into the draft and passed.

This will be a long-term top-level design, and Gao Han is the chief designer of China's football reform.

Not only that, Gao Han also gave a detailed timetable, he intends to use three years to reorganize the Football Association, create a modern democratic advanced management mechanism, use five years to create a complete set of management models for the Chinese Super League, and build the Chinese Super League into Asia's first, the world's advanced level of football league, become a beautiful business card of Chinese football.

In five years' time, the Chinese Super League will move beyond Asia and join the global football market, competing with South American and European leagues.

The most important campus football and youth training system in the plan, Gao Han is expected to spend ten years to set up, which will be a very ambitious project, and even involves mutual cooperation and benefit delivery between various government departments, and it is very difficult to promote, so it will take ten years.

As long as campus football is promoted and the youth training system is established, it will provide an endless supply of talents for Chinese football, and the current situation of China's shortage of football talents will be greatly alleviated in the future.

In other words, ten years later, Chinese football can be regarded as truly laying a solid foundation and beginning to have the confidence to take off.

"According to this draft, the reform team has also basically drawn up a timetable and intends to make a proposal to apply for the right to host the 2030 World Cup, and I believe that by that time, we will be ready for the World Cup. ”

After hearing this, Gao Han nodded heavily.

The bid for the World Cup is not in his draft, nor is it something he can plan, and even the football reform team can only make recommendations, and it is up to the country to decide whether to bid or not.

But it is clear that if we can bid for the 2030 World Cup, it will also be a great opportunity for Chinese football.

At that time, Gao Han was only in his fifties, and he was still in the prime of life, and the current batch of youth players in Chinatown happened to be in their playing years.

Gao Han believes that the Chinese team at that time will be a new force in world football that cannot be underestimated.

There are still thirteen years to go, with three World Cups in between, and Gao Han, the general adviser and head coach, still has a long way to go.

At that time, it took ten years for German football to revitalize the youth training, which led to the revival of German football in recent years.

In contrast, the Chinese team has a weaker base, but a larger population and a larger market.

Gao Han believes that thirteen years is enough for the rise of Chinese football and for him to build a strong team.

"2030 is too far away, let's win the right to participate in next year's World Cup first!" Gao Han said with great ambition.
