As we approach 2016, the atmosphere in Chinese football is becoming more and more tense.

The Football Congress has just come to an end, and many of the major changes expected by the outside world have not happened as expected.

For example, the head coach of the national team, Perrin, was dismissed.

The manager, who had a terrible performance in World Cup qualifying, has gone from being a popular god to the focus of national attacks, and almost everyone thinks he should take the blame and resign.

But at the Football Congress, the question about head coach Perrin was always brushed aside, and the only positive response was, "Regarding the question of Perrin's stay and retention, we need to do it according to the contract and procedures, and there is no information to disclose to the outside world for the time being." ”

With such an official sentence, it is obvious that it cannot satisfy the angry fans, and everyone regards this sentence as a prevarication, so it is logical to point the finger at the Football Association.

At the same time, there were originally insiders of the Football Association who revealed rumors to the outside world, hoping to invite Gao Han to serve as a member of the Executive Committee of the Football Association and participate in the decision-making of the Football Association, but as a result, after the Football Congress, it was not Gao Han who was selected for the Executive Committee at all, but someone else.

This once again caused an uproar in domestic public opinion, and what made fans even more angry was that the Football Association did not have any explanation for this.

Could it be that they are really so afraid that Gao Han will enter the decision-making level of the Football Association and move their interests and cakes?

Looking at the entire Football Congress, the real change is still from the General Administration of Sports' statement, saying that it will no longer interfere in the selection of coaches of national teams, and everything will be handed over to the Football Association to operate independently, which is considered to be a significant progress in the interpretation of the outside world.

The vice chairman of the Football Association also said in an interview with reporters at the closing ceremony of the conference that the reform plan of the Football Association has been basically released, and the Football Association will be transformed into an executive body rather than a decision-making body in the future, and the reform of the local Football Association will also be launched.

Deputy Director Cai also reiterated at the final media conference that the General Administration of Sports will no longer interfere in the selection of national teams, and also listed the three-step strategy of Chinese football, with the short-term goal of improving the environment and atmosphere for the development of Chinese football in three to five years, and innovating the management model.

In eight to ten years, the youth football population should be greatly increased, the national team level should be among the top in Asia, and the long-term goal is to build China into a world power team and enter the top 16 of the World Cup in 10 to 20 years, or even longer.

The reaction from the media at the scene was strong about the three-step strategy, and some people questioned that it was a slogan, but Deputy Director Cai said that the Football Association would draw up a roadmap as soon as possible, and he expressed full confidence in achieving this goal.

"It's very difficult to achieve this goal, but it's not impossible, we will recruit people from all walks of life to join the Football Association, and we will actively learn from the world's advanced managers. ”

But when the media asked, if you really want to learn from the world's advanced coaches, then why did Gao Han, who had a strong voice before the meeting, not be selected as the executive committee of the Football Association this time?

Deputy Director Cai responded, "There is no doubt that Mr. Gao Han is the world's top head coach, I have had many private exchanges with him, he is not interested in joining the executive committee of the Football Association, and we all think that he is not suitable for such a job, so we respect his wishes." ”

"But we have many other aspects of cooperation with Mr. Gao Han and Chinatown, and there will be more cooperation in the future, here, on behalf of the Football Association, I can only respond to all the fans who care about Chinese football, we have heard everyone's voice, but many things we need to go through the procedure, and it will take a little time. ”

This response still does not satisfy the doubts of the fans, who want to see changes and even results faster and more efficiently.

And time passed quietly in the midst of the disturbances in China, and entered 2016.

Gao Han also quietly returned to Beijing in such a tense and undercurrent atmosphere.

…………

"This time you did a very good job, and the boss had a very good impression of you, especially him, it is said that in a meeting with various departments, he even publicly said that if even you can't turn the tide, then no one else can do better. ”

At home in Beijing's Yuyuan Villa District, Gao Han had just returned from the capital airport in Xiang Tianming's car, and Lin Guoping and his wife had been waiting here for a long time.

"As far as I know, he has made it clear that he will unconditionally support you in coaching the national team, and he will do everything he can to not disappoint the domestic fans. ”

Gao Han nodded slightly, for these words, he knew when he communicated on the phone before.

"Boss, you've taken a hot potato now. Xiang Tianming said with some concern.

Everyone knows the current situation of the national football team, and Gao Han took over at this time, which can really be said to be a gamble on the honor and disgrace of his life.

"I learned from the Football Association that after the 0-0 draw with Hong Kong away, the Football Association had already launched a preparatory plan, and it is said that it had also contacted several well-known managers at home and abroad, but none of them were willing to take over, and they all refused. ”

The corners of Gao Han's mouth raised slightly, "I know, Lippi is also one of them, and he called me." ”

He has always had a good relationship with Lippi, and when Lippi coached Hengda, it had something to do with Gao Han's support, because Hengda had a lot of cooperation with Chinatown, including the Guangzhou Chinatown Youth Training Center, as well as coaches and other aspects of training.

Xiang Tianming opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it.

He understands Gao Han, and since Gao Han said that he knew and made such a decision, no matter how much he said, it is estimated that he will not change Gao Han's decision.

"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Guoping asked with concern.

Gao Han is his son-in-law, and he is a daughter, as long as it is within his ability, he will do his best to help.

"I don't know, with the current situation, I can only take one step at a time, the time is very tight, I don't have time to think about anything else, the only thing I can do is to try to play the next two games first. ”

The national team has two World Cup qualifiers at the end of March, which is very crucial, only by playing these two games, the national football team can continue to stand out from the top 40 group stage, as long as the promotion is successful, then there is still half a year to prepare for the top 12.

But the training camp of the national team is already very tight, and there will not be much time at all, and Gao Han must integrate the team in the shortest possible time, which will be a very big test for him and the coaching staff.

Luckily, he had already explained everything during his time in Madrid, and the coaching staff will soon be flying to Beijing to prepare in advance, and once he takes office, he will be ready to work.

"How's Perrin doing?" asked Gao Han.

"He returned to France for Christmas, and it is said that the Football Association has called him back, and he himself is ready for the end of the class, and I believe that it will be negotiated in early January. Xiang Tianming took over and replied.

"What about the contract?"

"The Football Association is more experienced this time, and it should be able to control the amount of compensation in three months' monthly salary, which is about one million euros, after all, it is a unilateral termination of the contract, and compensation is inevitable. ”

Gao Han nodded slightly, it would be good to be able to terminate the contract with Pei Lan at this price.

"By the way, what kind of salary does the Football Association plan to hire you at this time?" asked Xiang Tianming curiously.

Gao Han's annual salary is the highest in the world, and it has reached 100 million euros when he coached Paris Saint-Germain before, which is definitely an astronomical amount in China, and it is not at all something that the Football Association can afford.

"I didn't talk about my own annual salary, and I don't need to talk about it, but my coaching team has an annual salary of 10 million euros after tax. ”

There is no need to say much about how good Gao Han's team is, Sergio Garcia is the world's leading data analysis expert, Pedro Harrow is the best goalkeeper coach in the world, Lorenzo Buenaventura is the world's best physical trainer, and Steve Pieters, the world's most authoritative sports psychology expert.

It's not Gao Han who holds it up by himself, just this set of gold medal teams, any person who goes out, can make the giant teams rush to it, and poach them with high salaries, except for Gao Han, there is no second person in the world who can combine them into a team.

As for Gao Han's chief assistant coach, he chose Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu is more than ten years ago Gao Han coached Chinatown to play the community cup player, after winning the cup, he once played in the professional league, but a few years later retired into Chinatown as a coach, with Gao Han and others to learn a lot of things, these years to do a good job, currently as the head coach of the second team of Chinatown, this season in the third division of the league played very well, aroused the favor of many professional teams.

But compared with following Gao Han as the chief assistant coach, even the coach position of the La Liga team is not attractive to Xiao Mu.

What's more, this time he is still coaching the Chinese national team.

Such a set of coaching team, with an annual salary of 10 million euros after tax, is absolutely worth.

Lin Guoping, who was listening on the sidelines, immediately took over, "Don't worry, the boss has made it clear that he will definitely not let you suffer, I believe he will let people handle it." ”

Gao Han smiled slightly, he had never been worried about this.

Money is no longer what he values.

If he really loves money so much, then he should continue to coach at Paris Saint-Germain, with a salary of 100 million euros a year, which is enough for him to squander in his life, and he will not choose to coach the national team at all.

"Tianming, you can help me arrange it, and when I officially take over the national team, I hope to be able to transfer some personnel from Chinatown to serve in the national team, they know better what I am, and it will be easier to use. ”

Gao Han is talking about employees, such as press officers, who need a more qualified press officer to take care of the public relations side of things, so as to avoid the same kind of things that happened to the previous international players who choked fans on social media.

Regardless of the outcome of the game, and no matter who is right or wrong, this kind of thing is very undesirable in itself, and it can also reflect the national team's lack in this aspect.

There are many more positions in the same position, according to Gao Han's vision, he needs to recruit professionals in various fields and form a set of national team coaches, which is expected to number more than 20 people.

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare, let me know in advance if you need someone. ”

Chinatown's talent pool in this area is still very sufficient, and it is not a problem to support the national team.

"During this period of time, the wind outside was very tight, and the fans reacted very much, so I didn't come forward, you helped me keep a close eye on the situation and progress, and keep in touch at any time. ”

Lin Guoping and Xiang Tianming glanced at each other, and they both understood Gao Han's intentions.

At this time, he should indeed keep a low profile, after all, once the news is leaked in advance, whether it is to the boss, to the Football Association, to Peilan, or even to Gao Han himself,
