The cause of the domestic media hype is a personal feature article in "XL Weibo", the author is a well-known football commentator, he analyzed the current situation of Chinese football, analyzed the situation of the Chinese national team, and believed that if you want to improve the performance of the national team, you must invite international coaches to coach.

"So far, the biggest coaches invited by the national team are only Milu and Alihan, but in the whole world football, they can only be regarded as second-rate coaches, not among the ranks of first-class big names......"

"There are many, many coaches in Europe, and each one of them is being contested by major clubs, chased by major national teams, and their arrival can completely change a team!"

"The national team has to face the Asian Cup qualifiers this year, and tomorrow it will face the Asian Cup and the World Cup qualifiers, these two years of events are very important, we should consider inviting a famous coach to coach early, a coach has a long coaching time, so that the team can grasp the results, every time the 'temporary cramming', it is difficult for any head coach to achieve anything."

Naturally, Zhang Yang was mentioned next.

At present, Zhang Yang is thriving in European football, and he is also the biggest name and the only world-class head coach in China.

The article mentioned Zhang Yang's success in coaching Millwall, "Millwall is just a small club, no funds, no stars, but Zhang Yang only took two years to make this team the top in Europe, not only led the team to win the Premier League championship, but also showed his strength in the spotlight!" ”

"So what will happen to Zhang Yang to coach the Chinese team?"

"The Chinese team is not much worse than the former Millwall, of course, it is impossible for the national team to transfer and buy players, but Zhang Yang will coach and the results will definitely be greatly improved."

"We can expect ......"

This article, which can be said to be a 'water army', has poked the hearts of many Chinese fans.

The results of the Chinese national team have reached the level of infinite disappointment for Chinese fans, and many fans have vowed not to watch the national team's games again.

But any Chinese fan, deep down, still hopes that the national team can have good results, not to mention sweeping Asia too far away and becoming a world powerhouse, at least to improve the results and perform more consistently, instead of disappointing again and again.

Coaching Zhang Yang is a good choice.

Zhang Yang is very famous in China, many fans care about Zhang Yang, and they will also care about Millwall's results, and when it comes to Millwall's achievements this season, fans will give them a thumbs up.

Zhang Yang can lead the team to Millwall, and quickly grow into a strong European team in two years, if he takes charge of the Chinese national team, what will happen then?

Many fans are looking forward to it.

The focus of fans is the topic of media hype, and many domestic media have looked forward to Zhang Yang coaching the national team, and have also discussed practical things, such as when Zhang Yang may coach the national team.

The media and fans believe that Zhang Yang will definitely take charge of the national team in the future, because he is too young, not yet 24 years old, and will have another 40 years of coaching career.

Forty years!

In such a long time, there must be a chance to take over the national team, right?

Of course, forty years is too far away, most fans can't wait that long, or hope that the sooner the better, the media also reported on this, analyzing the end of the season, Zhang Yang to take over the possibility of the national team, and it is best to draw a conclusion: it depends on the attitude and views of both the Football Association and Zhang Yang.

This is, of course, nonsense.

But the media hype is like this, in the end, it still comes down to the parties, Zhang Yang is in London, England, the distance is a little too far from China, and it is not easy to interview, the best channel is just to use Weibo to contact, and the Chinese Football Association is much easier than that.

At the regular press conference of the Football Association at the end of February, a reporter raised the question of "whether the national team will consider inviting Zhang Yang to coach".

The press officer of the Football Association was silent for a long time, he obviously did not prepare for this, and then he could only vaguely say, "The national team has no relevant contact arrangements for the time being, but Zhang Yang must be one of the important candidates for the head coach." ”

This sentence is official, and if you say it, you don't say it, but it gives hope to domestic fans.

Next, public opinion reports became even hotter, and the Football Association had to stand up.

Zhang Zhilong is the vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, in charge of the Chinese national team and the national Olympic teams at all levels.

The current national team coach Zhu Guanghu, it was Zhang Zhilong who single-handedly contributed to the coaching, Zhu Guanghu is a veteran coach in China, previously coached the Shenzhen football team, and won the last championship of the A League, relative to the country, the coaching level is still certain, but Zhu Guanghu can take over the national team, the reason is also due to the poor coaching performance of the previous coach Ali Han, not to mention the World Cup qualifiers, the national football team led by Ali Han, even the Asian qualifiers group stage was not able to qualify, Naturally, there is only one way to get out of class.

After Zhu Guanghu took over as coach, the results of the national team have been stable, but it is definitely not good, his style of leading the team is too conservative, four backs, double backs, only the side without the middle, is the least investment, the least risk of play, but also will lead to the attack has little practical effect, often with small Asian national teams to draw is proof.

This way of leading the team naturally cannot satisfy the fans.

Zhang Zhilong also knows that Zhu Guanghu is not popular, if he can't lead the team to play well in the Asian Cup qualifiers, Zhu Guanghu's national team coaching career will almost end here, even if he can lead the team to qualify, the possibility of continuing to coach is not high, because Zhu Guanghu's own contract is about to expire, it is hard to say whether he has any plans to continue coaching, the Football Association has not started the signs of renewing the contract, probably Zhu Guanghu is also ready to find a home, right?

At that time, the national team will have to consider a new successor.

Zhang Zhilong has considered candidates for new national team coaches, including foreign coaches and domestic veteran coaches, but there is absolutely no name of 'Zhang Yang' among them.

Zhang Zhilong knew Zhang Yang.

In Zhang Zhilong's impression, Zhang Yang is a good football coach in the UK, and he is also a very young idol-level head coach.

Such a young man has nothing to do with the position of coach of the national team.

Zhang Zhilong is an official from politics and sports, and he has a general selection criteria for the selection of the head coach of the national team.

One is that you have to be over forty years old.

Those under forty are all young people, they are not mature at all, they will definitely be frizzy in their work, and they still need to continue to experience, so it is not suitable to be the coach of the national team.

The second is to have the veteran qualification of coaching, that is, to have a 'coaching certificate'.

'Teaching certificate' is very important, just like college students must have a graduation certificate, technicians from all walks of life must also have corresponding certificates, and even driving must have a driver's license, otherwise who can know if it is an old driver?

It's the same with football coaches.

There are coaches at all levels at the international and domestic levels, and if you want to be the coach of the national team, you must have a top license, right? Otherwise, without systematic training, it can be regarded as a 'wild road', and it will be difficult to be recognized by the public.

Ahem...... Anyway, Zhang Zhilong doesn't approve of it.

The above two are the most basic, if you want to be the coach of the national team, you must also be able to do things, and be able to have a good relationship with the media and the Football Association, otherwise a prickly head coach will create a lot of problems.

This is not what Zhang Zhilong wants to see.

According to the above criteria, Zhang Yang does not meet any of them, even if he is the last 'can do things', he does not meet at all, because there are many reports of praise and criticism in European media reports.

Zhang Zhilong feels that what the outside media said about 'inviting Zhang Yang to be the head coach' is completely ridiculous.

In order to calm down public opinion from the outside world, the Football Association held a special press conference, Zhang Zhilong attended the reading, his voice was loud and clear, "about the outside world's concern for the national team coach, as well as some inappropriate and untrue remarks, the most clarified ...... here"

"The Chinese national team has not considered changing the head coach for the time being, and even if it is considered in the future, it will not consider letting Zhang Yang be the head coach in the short term......"

"Zhang Yang is an excellent young coach, his achievements in coaching in the UK have attracted the attention of the world, and we hope that there will be more similar young coaches in China, then Chinese football will also make great progress...... However, equivalent to the position of national team coach, Zhang Yang is still too young, he needs more experience, and he is not suitable for the position of national team coach for the time being. ”

"We once again make a special clarification that the media should not create public opinion and hype...... At present, the most important task of the national team is to conduct the Asian Cup qualifiers, and we believe that the current head coach Zhu Guanghu has the ability and level to lead the national team to achieve excellent results, and we can not only look forward to this year's qualifiers, but also look forward to next year's World Cup qualifiers, Asian Cup ......"

“……”

Zhang Zhilong read nearly 3,000 words of the manuscript in a row, and the reporters present were drowsy at the slow speed of speech, but everyone was in high spirits, and they all automatically blocked the content behind them, and they were only constantly surprised by the opening speech--

Zhang Yang is not qualified to be the coach of the national team?

What are these words?!

The reporters were stunned, they thought about the Football Association to clarify, refuse, or support the current coach Zhu Guanghu, but they definitely never thought that the Football Association's statement would say that 'Zhang Yang is not qualified to be the head coach of the national team'.

How can it be!

A young star coach who coaches a Premier League team, competes for the league title, competes in the Champions League, and is recognized by fans around the world to coach a young star, is not qualified to be the coach of the Chinese national team?

In other words, is it not as flamboyant as Ali Khan? Zhang Yang is not as good as Zhu Guanghu?

This is the funniest joke of 2007!

Maybe next year's Spring Festival Gala, summing up the popular Internet slang of the past year, there will be one more, "Zhang Yang is not qualified", "You are not qualified", "He is not qualified", the meaning is diametrically opposite, the connotation is "There are enough qualifications, but I can't look down on it".
