"Boss, I got the news from the Football Association that the head coach has been basically decided. ”

Still in the distant video, Xiang Tianming, who was in Beijing, delivered the latest news to Gao Han.

"Who?" asked Gao Han with concern.

The Football Association's selection of coaches is hidden deeper this time, even in the end, it is cloudy and foggy, and until the last moment, except for the core senior management of the Football Association, few people really know what the final selection of coaches will be.

Even Gao Han, during his time in Madrid, in the meeting with the bigwigs of the Football Association, he basically only knew that two of the six German interviewers were finally circled, but Gao Han did not know exactly who they were.

"Alain Perran. Xiang Tianming said.

After hearing this, Gao Han nodded slightly, "He is a good coach, and with his ability, there will definitely be no problem in coaching the national football team." ”

This sentence does not mean that Alain Perrin is such a clever manager, with his coaching ability, among the head coaches in European football, I am afraid that he may not even be ranked in the first line, but it must be more than enough to coach the national football team.

This is also very in line with what the national football coach selection team said before, this time the selection of the coach is indeed very pragmatic, not blindly pursuing fame, but more in line with the national football coach position as the primary consideration, which will choose Alan Perran.

In the words of the Football Association bigwig, the door is right.

Wearing as big a hat as you have is a big head, which is not a bad choice.

What's more, Alain Perrin will definitely cherish the opportunity to coach Chinese football more and will be more attentive.

"Boss, the controversy in domestic public opinion is still relatively large. ”

"Why?"

"Everyone wanted you to coach the national team before, but suddenly it became someone else, if it was a world famous coach, then it would be okay, but it was the little-known Alan Perran, and many people felt that the Football Association had picked sesame seeds and lost watermelons. ”

After hearing this, Gao Han smiled.

He is grateful for the fans' appreciation and affirmation, and even he is willing to coach the national football team, in addition to fulfilling a dream in his heart, if he insists on saying for whom, it must be for the majority of Chinese fans.

Also as a Chinese, Gao Han understands in his heart that many people scold the national football team and the Football Association, but they chase every national team game, and they still hope that their scolding can play a role and make the national football team compete.

Hate the mood of iron not steel, Gao Han understands.

But the current strength of the national football team is really not good, let alone playing the World Cup, even in Asia, there is not much competitiveness.

"I know Alain Perrin in particular, you know, Drogba has played under him, and I have also learned about him with a lot of French insiders, such as Zinedine Zidane and Makelele, they still have a good evaluation of Alain Perrin, and the coaching ability is definitely there, I hope he can lead the national football team to play at a high level. ”

Gao Han has no regrets about not being able to coach the national team, because this is a choice he made on his own initiative.

In fact, from the Football Association extending an olive branch to him by Xiang Tianming, Gao Han knew that as long as he made compromises on some things, the Football Association would not hesitate to choose him to coach, but he was unwilling, so he politely refused through Xiang Tianming before.

Now, Alain Perrin is in charge of the national football team, and Gao Han also sincerely hopes that he can succeed.

As for the Football Association's selection of coaches, Gao Han's evaluation is still quite high.

Xiang Tianming also understood Gao Han's mood, and also knew that his blessing to Alan Perrin was also from the heart.

Coaching ability meets the requirements and whether or not you can succeed are two different things.

Whether in a professional club or in the national team, there are so many factors that affect the success or failure of coaching that it is impossible to quantify.

It's like Martino, the first half of the performance was good enough to be eye-catching, right?

But the result?

With the current intensifying internal strife in Barcelona, Martino is basically going to leave class at the end of this season, and it is difficult to say how far Barcelona can go this season in the face of internal and external troubles.

Maybe when Barcelona will suddenly collapse, who knows?

In European football, where the profession is developed and the football industry is very specialized, this is still the case, and the risk of Alain Perrin coaching the national football team is not small, and it can even be said that it is full of dangers.

"After the Football Association announced, I sent back to Weibo to support Alain Perran. Gao Han said.

He only hoped from the bottom of his heart that Alain Perrin would succeed.

Xiang Tianming nodded, being able to get Gao Han's support at this time was definitely a big help for Alan Perran.

"By the way, the FA team will go to Spain again in a few days, accompanied by the senior management of several domestic clubs, and there are some things on my side that I will not be able to go there at that time. Xiang Tianming said.

Gao Han nodded, this was planned in advance.

The main purpose of the Football Association's working group is to negotiate football cooperation projects with the Spanish Football Federation, professional leagues and the Spanish government, including youth training, coach training and referee training.

Such negotiations will continue to occur in the next six months, until an agreement is finally reached, and then a cooperation agreement is signed in the presence of the country's top leaders during the visit of Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to China.

After turning off the video with Xiang Tianming, Gao Han's face was worried.

He is optimistic about Alan Perrin, whether it is the word of mouth he hears or the fiery inspection, it proves that Alan Perrin is a capable manager, but ......

Gao Han let out a heavy breath at the end.

Good luck to him!

…………

The media all over the world looks the same.

When Chinatown was winless in two games, all the media portrayed Chinatown as a poor worm in danger, as if it would collapse at any time, and when the team finally won one game, they all pulled back public opinion.

And when Chinatown defeated Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga 6-1 in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds, in the mouths of all media reporters, Chinatown's reputation exploded again.

Alvaro Morata, Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann all scored twice, with Alvaro Morata and Eden Hazard each providing an assist, while Montoya also provided an assist in a stunning bloodbath on the road.

Schalke 04 only scored a goal in the 91st minute by Dutch centre-forward Huntelaar to save face.

After such an overwhelming victory, Chinatown can be described as a morale boom, and the praise of Chinatown by media reporters is overwhelming, but this is only the beginning.

Three days later, after returning to Spain, they welcomed their opponent in the 26th round at home, Granada, and Chinatown played with a semi-substitute lineup to beat Granada 4-0 at home.

In one week, three games, twelve goals scored and one goal conceded, such an astonishing record has made Chinatown receive crazy praise.

What's more, in the 26th round, Atletico Madrid drew 2-2 at home to Real Madrid, once again creating a lose-lose pattern, but thanks to Barcelona's 4-1 win at home, Chinatown's lead is still only seven points.

A week later, China City challenged Valencia away, and Zidane made another rotation, only to be held to a 1-1 draw by the Bats away, and failed to break Valencia's goal despite having 61 per cent of the possession.

Equally unlucky was Barcelona, who suffered a big upset in a surprise 0-1 defeat away to Valladolid, but Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid both won back-to-back.

As a result, Chinatown's lead is still only seven points, but the second-placed team has changed from Barcelona to Atletico Madrid.

In the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round in midweek, China Town defeated Schalke 04 3-1 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 9-2.

This time, the opponent in the draw was still the Bundesliga team, Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund.

But at the weekend, Chinatown was once again under stubborn sniping from their opponents.

With one more man than their opponents, they couldn't turn defeat into a victory, and finally drew 1-1 away to Villarreal.

Once a target for Chinatown, Marcelino proved his coaching ability with a brilliant sniper battle, and also won valuable points back for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

At the end of the round, Chinatown's lead was reduced to five points.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are both catching up, especially Barcelona's 7-0 home win over Osasuna, which is even more impressive.

A week later, in the 29th round of La Liga, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4-3 away, China City defeated Getafe 1-0, and Atletico Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 away, and the league points remained unchanged.

However, in the 30th round of La Liga in midweek, China Town drew 2-2 away to Elche, Barcelona beat Celta Vigo 3-0 at home, and Atletico Madrid also beat Granada 1-0 at home.

Chinatown's lead continues to shrink to a mere three points, and they have a four-point lead over third-placed Barcelona in the league.

Three days later, in the 31st round of La Liga, China City welcomed Atletico Madrid at home.

For the Champions League in midweek, Zidane once again rotated the lineup.

Antoine Griezmann opened the scoring for Chinatown after just six minutes, but Fernando Torres equalised in the 22nd minute before the two sides locked in a stalemate.

After the rematch in the second half, in the 64th minute, central defender De Vrij received a second yellow card and was sent off the field with a red card.

It was a complete break in the balance of power as Atletico Madrid scored a goal in the 85th minute through Ander Herrera.

In the end, Chinatown lost 1-2 at home.

Barcelona, who are also in the derby, beat Espanyol 1-0 away, while Real Madrid beat Rayo Vallecano 5-0 at home.

After 31 rounds, Chinatown had to accept an uncomfortable result, that is, Atletico Madrid finally caught up with Chinatown in the standings, and both teams also got 76 points, but because Atletico Madrid won two games against Chinatown this season, they finally beat Chinatown to the top of the standings.

Barcelona are third by one point, with Real Madrid six points behind Barcelona in fourth.

Throughout February and March, all the media's evaluation of Chinatown wavered along with the ups and downs of the results, giving high praise when winning and even more so after losing.

Especially in the 31st round, after losing to Atletico Madrid, he gave up the top position in the league, which made Zidane's team suffer huge pressure from public opinion.

From the original lead of seven points to the current draw, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona can be said to be like a bamboo, on the other hand, Chinatown is losing and losing points in a row.

Although this has something to do with the fact that Chinatown's squad is relatively young and rotates too much, it is also related to the strength of its competitors, after all, Chinatown has lost three games so far this season.

What's more, some media even believe that if Chinatown can't get out of the trough as soon as possible, it will end up empty-handed, because the opponent of the Copa del Rey final is Chinatown's big sufferer, Atletico Madrid.
