Chapter Seventy-Four: The National Olympic Games Change Coach
Since the start of the professional league last year, not only has the league been thriving, but the public's attention to football has also increased day by day.
The increased desire of fans to appreciate has directly stimulated the development of commercial competitions, and many European and American teams have come to the Chinese market to "PY" in the gap between the end of the season.
In this era of "football opens its eyes to the world", a series of "impressive" records of domestic teams in the commercial arena have made fans ecstatic, and then the game is full.
Exaggeration is prevalent in football, and it seems that Chinese football can directly become the boss of Asian football as long as it gently moves one step forward.
Last year, the national football team and Guoan defeated the popular Sampdoria and the famous AC Milan respectively. This year, Arsenal, Flamengo, Penarol, Colombia and other strong teams have also lost at the feet of Guoan. Even Sampdoria, who revisited China, was beaten 3-0 by the national football team.
Fans have inflated their mentality with this victory with low "gold content", and the bizarre psychological gap has made many people have the illusion that "Chinese football can be called a world-class team".
Many of Guoan's players are even regarded as "national heroes", and a "***" in Chinese football began to hang high in the "false coat".
Gongti is also regarded as a blessed land by fans and is talked about by fans.
Shortly after Sampdoria returned home, the U23 national Olympic team, led by Qi Wusheng, visited Uzbekistan again and played two friendly matches against local clubs.
0-0 and 4-4, the National Olympic Games brought home two "barely passing" report cards.
The people did not react too much to the two draws, after all, the National Olympic journey was tiring, and it was acceptable to play two draws in a foreign country.
The two games that were originally unremarkable set off a "bloody storm" after Qi Wusheng returned to China to report on his work.
The Football Association removed Qi Misheng as the head coach of the National Olympic Games by thunderous means, and even directly excluded him from the National Olympic team. Former technical advisor to the Olympic Games, Yugoslav head coach Ogenjanovic. Rad quickly took over the Under-23s and became the leader of next year's Olympic Games in Atlanta.
The change of coach came so suddenly, without any call-up. Even Qi Wusheng avoided talking about it when he was interviewed. "The Football Association is very satisfied with my work and wants me to focus all my energy on the national team, after all, the Asian Cup qualifiers and the World Cup qualifiers are just around the corner..."
Changing commanders on the spot is a taboo for soldiers.
For a while, there were rumors in China, and they basically discussed this matter around one point of view: the local coach is already very strong, why change the foreign coach temporarily?
However, these media have selectively forgotten that this old man in the sixtieth year is the person they praised a year ago.
For political reasons, China and Yugoslavia had close relations; Also for political reasons, Yugoslavia has begun to break up.
If a person is understood in terms of "citizenship" (not necessarily a sovereign state), then Ogenjanovich . Raad was the first former Yugoslav coach from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to come from the Republic of Serbia.
After the defeat in the World Cup in 1993, Uncle Shi was disgraced.
FIFA has recommended a tactics instructor for the Chinese Football Association, who is the former coach Ladd.
The timing of Ladd's visit to China was very bad, and because of Schlapner, the attitude of the Chinese people towards foreign coaches has shifted from one extreme to another. In addition, without the sponsorship of Volkswagen, the Chinese Football Association gave Ladd's salary only one-sixth of Schlapner's, but Ladd, who was already over the age of sixteen at that time, still accepted this condition and resolutely came to China.
At that time, the number one task of the national team was the Asian Games and the 96 Olympic Games, and Ladd was also the U23 coach at that time.
However, soon after Ladd took office, he clashed with the Chinese coaching team. There are many sources of conflict, including training, work and rest, employment and so on.
It didn't take long for the Football Association to dismiss Ladd on the grounds that he "did not understand China's national conditions". For the sake of FIFA's "face", Ladd was assigned a "technical adviser" position.
Although there was no big reaction from the people when Ladd stepped down, letting Qi Missheng lead the National Olympics was met with strong opposition from the media and fans.
Qi has a high level of training and is suitable for being an executive coach. But his personality is a little indecisive, and he is always a little hindsight. And in terms of selection criteria, it is not as good as another local coach Xu Hebao, which is also a well-known thing.
Leading two of the most important national teams at the same time makes fans have to worry about the danger of "putting all their eggs in the same basket".
But at that time, Ladd was about to get out of class, and there was no better candidate, and the Football Association wanted to let Qi Caosheng get familiar with the young players of the U23, so Qi Caosheng finally took the position.
Although the process was a little flawed, and there were many objections, these all disappeared with Qi Miaosheng's excellent performance.
But now, the first stage of the Olympic qualifiers has passed safely, and the Football Association suddenly came to such a move, which is quite a bit of "unloading the mill and killing the donkey".
"The Football Association just likes! How good the big relatives bringed, how can they be temporarily replaced! ”
"Yes, the Football Association actually took off his pants and farted like this. If you want me to say, I just want to show my ability to change the coach. Wait, if you don't play well next year, you probably have to talk about this handsome man again! ”
On the bus, many people were scolding and talking about it. Ou Chuliang put his cheek on his cheek with one hand, looking out the window and not knowing what he was thinking.
There was a "squeak", and the driver slammed on the brakes. Looking at the looming football field outside the window, Ou Chuliang got out of the car with his bag on his back.
In the capital, Ou Chuliang's face is the pass. Without checking Ou Chuliang's documents, the doorman made a joke with Ou Chuliang and let him go.
Ou Chuliang changed his equipment all the way, and when he came to the side of the football field, he saw an old man with gray hair and a garlic nose behind his back in the middle of the field, watching a teenager play football.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, after Ladd took office, he immediately chose the players he valued. At the same time, in various youth teams in China, a group of screenings were also carried out. Ou Chuliang is obviously a member of this group of audition team members on the surface, but in fact, he has already made up his mind.
"Mr. Ladd, this student has good basic skills." Gu Mingchang, who served as a teaching assistant on the Chinese side, looked at the students he brought from his hometown, and his face was full of appreciation.
Xiao Liu looks like he is about 20 years old, and he has shown skills such as dribbling, juggling and shooting in front of Ladd, and his basic skills are very solid, and the ball kicked out has a certain arc.
Yet Ladd put his hands behind his back and said in half-baked Chinese: "No, no! Run, run. ”
Fluent in English, French, German, Russian, Serbian and other languages, Rad proudly claimed to have learned Chinese when he arrived in China. However, only those who have interacted with him know that Ladd's Chinese is simply not complimentary.
"Quick, run two laps, run two laps and let the coach see!" Gu Mingchang understood what Ladd meant, and hurriedly gave Xiao Liu a look.
Xiao Liu understood, hurriedly kicked the football aside, spread his legs and ran around the football field.
After only half a lap, Ladd began to shake his head: "NONO, HE, NO, NO, NO!" ”
"Why not?" Gu Ming Chang said anxiously.
I don't see anything coming from this, I've just run half a lap, and my physical strength and speed haven't reached the extreme, why does this old man say no?
Rad shook his head as he gestured, "No, there's something wrong with his feet, he, he..."
When the Football Association removed Ladd from his position, he also took away the translator in order to empty it. Ladd, who does not understand the language, wants to communicate with the team members on weekdays, but can only communicate through Xie Hui, who has only half an English level, and then Xie Hui communicates.
Seeing Ladd's dancing appearance, Gu Mingchang was also anxious. Xiao Liu is not only his fellow countryman, but also brought over by relatives with a lot of connections. And Gu Mingchang also tested him personally, thinking that even if he can't be elected as the main player, the qualifications for mixing as a substitute are more than enough.
Now all the tests are good, and after only half a lap, he was withdrawn by Ladd, and he has to explain what the ancient commander said.
"Coach Gu." Just as the two were arguing, Ou Chuliang walked over with the ball that had just been kicked away by Xiao Liu and whispered: "What Mr. Ladd means is that he has flat feet and is not suitable for playing football. ”
