"Mr. Gao Han, I am a retired professional footballer, I would like to ask you, what do you think is the biggest change from player to coach, and how should you deal with this change?"

Sitting in the front row is Juventus legend Antonio Conte, who is also a participant in the current Coviciano Coach Training Masterclass, the highest level of the Italian Football Federation's course, and will be able to coach directly in Serie A and Serie B after graduation.

Because of this, the number of students enrolled in each course is strictly limited, and the selection requirements are also very high, the vast majority of them are professional players, and players who have participated in the Italian national team are often more advantageous.

This is the norm in any country in the world.

"Thank you very much for your question, Antonio. Gao Han made a gesture to sit down, but immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But to be honest, I'm not qualified to answer this question, because I'm not a professional footballer." ”

Everyone in the venue burst into laughter again, which was a bit self-deprecating.

"We Chinese have a saying, without practice, there is no right to speak, originally I should not say anything, but since you asked, I have indeed been in contact with many professional coaches after retirement, so I tried to answer this question, and everyone exchanged ideas with each other." ”

Everyone present nodded again.

The whole speech process was very hot, the atmosphere was very lively, from Gao Han's speech to the later free questioning, the laughter continued, and everyone also cherished the opportunity to ask Gao Han face-to-face, and Gao Han also knew everything and said everything.

"I believe everyone here knows that players and coaches are two completely different jobs, and a good player may not be able to become a good coach, the most important thing is the problem of role transformation. ”

"In a dressing room, every player has his or her own unique life experience, his own unique views on football, and his own thoughts and ideas about the game, but as a head coach, he should fully understand and guide the uniqueness of the individual players on the basis of formulating the overall situation of the team's skills and tactics. ”

"A lot of good players turn coaches, it's easy to find that their players can't understand and can't keep up with their own ideas, but I personally think it's not a player's problem, it's a coach's problem, because we can't ask every player to have the same ball intelligence as Maradona and Zidane, right?"

The vast majority of people here are professional players, many of them are engaged in youth coaching, and they are all facing players of a young age, so they are very touched by Gao Han's words.

Great players who retire and turn into head coaches are either very good or just pretty bad.

The difference between the two is whether and when they can adjust their role transitions.

The players are mainly me, and they listen to the manager's arrangement, but the manager has to focus on the overall situation and arrange the players to play.

It may seem like a layer of window paper, but in fact, there are many outstanding stars who will never break it for a lifetime.

'But I would say that the one day a player turns into a coach has the advantage of being able to trust his players easily, and we all know that in a dressing room, the most important task for a manager is to gain the trust of his players. ”

When he said this, Gao Han suddenly smiled and pointed to Guardiola, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd.

"It's like my best friend, Pep Guardiola, if I'm a player and he's a manager, then I'll say to him, oh, Josep, I grew up watching you play, like, what do you want me to do?"

Once again, the venue burst into laughter.

"Then if I break his rules, when he reprimands me, I refute and contradict him, that's simple, he scolds directly, you know what a fart, when I play football, you are still wearing open crotch pants. ”

Everyone present suddenly laughed even more crazy, and many people were even slapping the table.

As the speech deepened, Gao Han gradually let go of his hands and feet, and now he is also smiling.

It wasn't until everyone had laughed that he got back to business.

"In any case, as I emphasised before, trust is the foundation of a manager's success. ”

This last sentence made Gao Han win thunderous applause from the scene again.

Renzo Uliveeri also stood up at this time, gestured to Gao Han, and walked to the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are very grateful to Mr. Gao Han for his wonderful and funny speech and answers today, but unfortunately, we originally arranged for an hour and a half, and now it is almost three hours. ”

Everyone in the room agreed with Uliveri's proposal, and everyone had a word of unfinished writing on their faces.

If Gao Han was still a little restrained at the beginning, then after he completely let go, he not only said a lot of dry goods, but also mobilized the atmosphere of the scene very actively, so that each of them gained a lot.

But they were also able to understand Uliveri's decision, after all, they had to rush back to Milan in the cold.

Today he made time to travel south, and tomorrow he will host Udinese.

Finally, Urivieri declared the speech closed.

Gao Han stepped off the podium and shook hands and hugged many famous coaches, including Lippi, Prandelli and Loew, as well as many celebrities such as Antonio Conte, Maldini and Baresi.

"Your speech today is very wonderful, and I have heard you speak many times about the remarks of the Chinese sages, which makes me very interested, you are a country with a long cultural heritage, full of wisdom. Lippi laughed.

"Then we will come to my country if we have the opportunity, our football level is still very low, the league development is still very backward, but we have the largest group of fans in the world, they love football madly, they are eager to change the status quo of football in their country, so we need the guidance and help of world famous coaches like you. ”

Lippi smiled and nodded, "Okay, there's a chance." ”

After that, Gao Han met with other people one after another, especially Allegri, the assistant coach of Udinese.

Although it's the first time they've met, the two will be rivals tomorrow night, but today they had a good conversation, which is very interesting.

Finally, Gao Han, accompanied by Ulivieri and Lippi, visited the entire training base in Covelciano, as well as the coach training system in Italy.

The technical department responsible for the training of coaches in Italy was founded in 1959, but before that the Football Association had been conducting theoretical research on coach training and related aspects through the organization of a coach training association.

That is, in this regard, Italy has almost half a century of accumulation.

Ulivieri, Lippi, Trapattoni, Sacchi, Capello, Ancelotti......

Many famous Italian coaches are from such a system, and they are constantly improving the entire Italian coach training system and technical and tactical theory system through their later coaching.

This is probably the most systematic coach training in the world.

"Renzo, I thought about starting a youth centre in my home country, and you know, there are a lot of young people in my country who love football and want to develop in it. ”

"So, I would like to ask, is it possible for us to cooperate in coach training? If possible, I plan to set up a coach training institution in my home country, carry out all-round cooperation with you, and introduce your whole coach training system, and also arrange for our domestic coaches to come to Italy for further training. ”

As Gao Han spoke, Ulivieri nodded repeatedly, "Welcome, absolutely welcome." ”

When it comes to communication, Italy is not secretive, but even very open.

For example, in the field of goalkeeper training, countries such as France, Germany and Brazil have all learned from Italy, and have also received support and help from Italian coaches, which has not hindered Italy's achievements in this area.

As for Italy, after Buffon, there were no high-level goalkeepers in the future, but several other countries are full of talents, especially Germany and Brazil, which has a lot to do with Italy's local youth training.

But this cannot deny the excellent results that Italy has achieved in terms of theory and coach training.

"Mr. Gao Han, this is exactly what I want to tell you, we have also heard about the adjustments and reforms you have made at Inter Milan, so we also hope that you can agree to let more of our students go to Inter Milan to watch and learn, including the first team and the academy, you know, we have lagged too far behind in the youth training in recent years. ”

"Well, no problem, we were very welcome. ”

Ulivieri laughed, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

…………

…………

After visiting Covelciano, Gao Han had another meal with Ulivieri, Lippi, Prandelli and Loew before returning to Milan with Pep Guardiola.

This pilgrimage to Kovirciano touched him very deeply.

Italy was able to win the World Cup after the phonegate incident, the strength of the players is certainly one thing, but the coaching of Lippi and the technical and tactical content of the entire national team are the most important things.

None of this can be gained overnight, or lost.

Or rather, that's what Italian football is all about.

Half a century of practical accumulation and theoretical research, bringing together the wisdom of countless sages such as Sacchi and Trapattoni, Italy's achievements in football are absolutely admirable.

On the other hand, Chinese football, if you want to develop and improve the strength level of players, what you really need to do is to start from the most basic place, from youth training, from coach training, from theoretical research, through a long period of accumulation and precipitation, gradually evolve into a football way that belongs to the Chinese.

This road is still long, still far away, and will be difficult, but Gao Han will definitely go on.

After the pilgrimage to Kovirciano, he strengthened his determination.

This will be the most important mission in his life, and it will also be one of the missions that must be completed.

There are no direct flights between Florence and Milan, and the transfer takes five hours, so the return is still by train.

During that hour's train, Gao Han was still immersed in the shock of Kovelciano.

He called Xiang Tianming, who was far away in Beijing, to learn about the latest progress of the land purchase, but was a little disappointed.

With the skyrocketing housing prices in recent years, the land prices in the entire Beijing area have soared, and the youth training center is a project that covers a considerable area, so Xiang Tianming is also a headache.

This is probably the current situation in China.

Real estate is being developed everywhere, and there is no emphasis on sports such as football, which require a large area of land.

On the contrary, the basketball court, which is small in size and has a large audience, is more popular.

"Then go to the periphery to find it, I must build this youth training center, I must do it!" Gao Han said loudly.
