The day after the Chinatown game, Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 away at Villarreal.

The overall performance of the Bed Legion was not ideal, although they scored first, but they were equalized in the 79th minute, and finally failed to score again at the Love Song Stadium.

However, Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 away to defend their top spot in the league.

At the end of thirteen rounds, Barcelona topped the table with 37 points, Martino's team's impressive record of 12 wins and one draw is indeed admirable, Zidane led China City to 2nd place with a record of 12 wins and 1 loss, Atletico Madrid is two points less than China City, ranking third, and Real Madrid is six points less than Atletico Madrid, ranking fourth.

For Chinatown to withstand the pressure and win Levante 3-0 at home, both media reporters and fans have given quite high praise, believing that as long as Chinatown continues to maintain the current momentum, it is fully capable of posing a threat to Barcelona, and even has a chance to knock Barcelona off.

If the team with the lowest average age in La Liga does win the championship in the end, it will be a big event in Spanish football.

However, some media reporters expressed concern that after all, it is not without cases of Chinatown breaking through, before Pochettino's tenure, Chinatown once occupied the top spot for a long time, but in the second half of the season it was inconsistent, the results plummeted, and finally only won a league fourth.

Regardless, Zidane's performances this season have been impressive.

However, in La Liga, the most eye-catching is Martino's Barcelona, but this eye-catching is that although Martino's team is unbeaten and still at the top of La Liga, both the team and the fans are not satisfied with him.

The impressive record of 12 wins and 1 draw in 13 games can be considered a dream for Martino, a newcomer and first-time coach of a European team, but everyone seems to be unimpressed, on the grounds that he has not continued the tradition of passing and possession at Barcelona.

Rotate Messi and Ibrahimovic, play Pedro as a substitute, adopt a two-back style of play, and reuse Rakitic......

Martino's various moves have put him in the midst of controversy, and even Barcelona players such as Xavi have questioned Martino's style of play, especially the tactical play of abandoning possession.

However, Martino's attitude is very tough, saying that he will continue to adhere to his style of play and will not waver.

It can be said that Barcelona's results this season are really surprising, but they are also internal and external troubles.

In any case, after thirteen rounds, La Liga was once again suspended for two weeks of national team competition.

But Gao Han received a message from China from Xiang Tianming.

…………

…………

"Just yesterday, the Chinese Football Association officially released a notice of coach selection. ”

In the living room of Villa Lafinka, Gao Han used his tablet to follow the video of Xiang Tianming in Beijing, who showed him a document in the video, which he didn't see very clearly, but turned back to Xiang Tianming and sent it to Gao Han's mailbox.

According to the plan outlined in this coaching notice, the head coach who intends to bid for the new coach of the national football team should submit the application materials to the Football Association within 20 days, and then the Football Association will set up a coach selection expert group and working group to be responsible for screening the application materials. ”

The expert group includes a number of local coaches who have coached national teams and German football expert Stefain, while the working group is led by the technical department of the Football Association. ”

Gao Han laughed dumbly when he heard this, "Is this going to be a large-scale job fair?"

"As far as I know, in recent years, the Football Association has not been as rumored by the outside world, but has really carried out a series of reforms, including the process and mechanism of selecting coaches, drawing on the experience of many large state-owned enterprises to hire executives, forming a complete set of procedures and systems, each link has a corresponding responsible person. ”

Xiang Tianming often deals with the Football Association, and he must know more about these things than Gao Han.

"For example, this time, there are seven stages in the entire selection process, from the formulation of the plan, the receipt of application materials, the selection of experts, the meeting of the candidates, the second comparison of the expert group, the negotiation of targeted details, and the final leadership decision, each process is very clear and transparent, and the direction is also very clear. ”

"Really?" Gao Han was a little surprised, he really heard of this kind of thing for the first time, and he was a little reluctant to believe it, "The Football Association really has such a mechanism for selecting coaches?"

This is far from his impression of the image of the Football Association.

"It's true, it's been implemented, every step is going according to the process and the mechanism, and now it's the second step. ”

After hearing this, Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But even if this is the case, what can be chosen?"

This question really stopped Xiang Tianming.

"Based on this registration mechanism alone, I don't think it's possible for a really strong manager to compete. Gao Han shook his head.

He doesn't know about others, but it is absolutely impossible for him to compete for such a handsome position, isn't that self-defeating?

Not to mention that he has reached his level, I am afraid that those first-line, slightly famous managers in world football will not be able to compete for such a position, the reason is very simple, if it succeeds, it is fine, but what if it fails?

"Yes, as far as I know, there are indeed no first-line head coaches, and it is said that several foreign head coaches who are a little famous in China have also asked for secrecy, not wanting their competition to be known. Xiang Tianming smiled helplessly.

Gao Han's request for this kind of is understandable, after all, if the news leaks, it will also be a big loss to their reputation.

This is where the existence of brokers comes in.

Whether it's a player or a manager, in the current situation, an agent needs to come forward.

"Actually, Camacho's failure has also caused a lot of controversy within the Football Association, the annual salary is so high, although there are sponsors to pay, but it is also a lot of pressure, and now the new coach has no sponsors to pay for it, and the Football Association is shy in his pocket, and he can't give so much money at all, so he didn't think about being a famous coach from the beginning. ”

Xiang Tianming was somewhat ridiculous and helpless.

Gao Han was also unwilling to continue to dwell on this issue, "What's next?"

"The next step is for the expert group to conduct the first round of screening of the candidates according to the actual needs of the national team, eliminate some unsuitable targets, and the rest enter the second round of interviews. ”

"Interview?, how to interview?" asked Gao Han with a smile.

It is said that the members of the expert group will ask a variety of different questions, including football philosophy, professional awareness, coaching experience and ability, understanding of Asian football and Chinese football, etc., covering everything from the big picture to the details, and then the working group will summarize it to form an interview outline. ”

As soon as Xiang Tianming's words fell, Gao Han shook his head and smiled, "Then like recruiting from large enterprises, invite all the candidates who participated in the competition one by one, interview them one by one, and ask all the questions again?"

In the video, Xiang Tianming shook his head and smiled, and nodded to indicate that this is the case.

"If the head coach of a team can be selected through such a short period of selection and interviews, then under such a mature management mechanism in European football, where can a team choose the wrong manager?"

"Taking a step back, if those panels have the ability to select interviewees based on a few questions to determine whether they are good enough to teach, how valuable and technical are the questions they are asking?

Gao Han's continuous questioning made Xiang Tianming speechless, and the whole person was Spartan.

He did find this kind of coach selection mechanism a little strange.

The simplest, such as Gao Han, it is absolutely impossible for him to submit his resume and interview.

Not to mention the cold, Mourinho, Guardiola, Lippi and other European first-line coaches are unlikely to accept such a selection mechanism, isn't this tantamount to smashing their own signboards?

Besides, what Gao Han said is right, just a few problems can test whether a head coach is real?

Coaching a team is simple and simple, and complex is quite complicated, which is not something that a few experts or problems can test at all.

Even if it is like Gao Han, a rookie like Zidane has been pushed to the front this season, but the reason is that Zidane was once the best top superstar in the world, and then studied under Mourinho and Gao Han, and after two years of cooperation, Gao Han recognized Zidane's ability, which invited him to coach Chinatown.

During the whole process, there was no CV submission and no interview.

"According to what I've heard, the team will travel to Europe at the end of December, or in January, to interview with a number of candidates, and then they should go to Madrid. This is the point of Xiang Tianming.

The cooperation between Chinatown and the Chinese Football Association has been prepared for a long time, mainly in youth training.

After arriving in Madrid, the Chinese Football Association will visit the training base in Chinatown one after another, and meet with the Spanish Football Association and government officials, and Gao Han has already made arrangements for this.

Both the Spanish Football Federation and the government have a strong interest in youth training cooperation with China, and Gao Han and Chinatown are also happy to see it happen, after all, it is good for the promotion of La Liga in China and Asia.

According to the communication and negotiation between Gao Han and the two sides, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy plans to visit China in 2014, so the three parties intend to promote this cooperation before the visit to China, and then elevate the entire football cooperation project to the national level.

As intermediaries, the focus of cooperation between the two sides, Gaohan and Chinatown will also play a vital role.

"Don't worry, I've taken care of everything on the Spanish side. Gao Han nodded.

"Well, when the time comes, I will also follow the Football Association working group to Europe, and I will communicate with you in detail about the specific matters and processes. ”

Xiang Tianming said this, and looked at Gao Han again, "In addition, there is a big man in the Football Association who wants to invite you to attend the expert group, you see ......"

With Gao Han's influence in world football and China today, if he attends the expert group, it will undoubtedly make the entire coach selection mechanism more authoritative, which is equivalent to Gao Han endorsing the Football Association's coach selection.

But Gao Han himself didn't believe it at all, such a process could really select a head coach with excellent coaching ability.

Even if it is really selected, will this head coach be able to lead the Chinese national team to good results?

Coaching isn't that simple!

Thinking of this, Gao Han shook his head and let out a long sigh, "Forget it, you helped me refuse, just say that I have been busy with the operation of youth training for a while recently, and I can't be separated, so I won't participate in the selection of coaches." ”

Gao Han was reluctant to participate in such a controversial incident, which was also a wise move for him to protect himself.

"Okay, I'll get you back for you. Xiang Tianming nodded, his reply was definitely more tactful than Gao Han's.

"See you in Europe. ”

"See you in Europe!"

At the moment when the video was closed, Gao Han let out another long sigh and shook his head incessantly.
