March 30th.

After a late-night internet, the next morning, everything was calm again.

Lonshette did not take the flight to England for the first time, but simply had lunch with several leaders of the Football Association.

In the middle of the staggering, the topic was directed to the current situation of the national team.

"You know, Lao Gao is only temporarily acting as the head coach, and Boss Wang's group has always wanted to help the Football Association find a world-class coach......"

"That's right, for example, Lippi of Evergrande, he is already very familiar with Chinese football, and there are quite a few players in the national team who have been coached by him, so he should be the most suitable candidate, right? What about your opinion? ”

Long Shute smiled and shook the red wine in the glass:

"There are too many things involved in this matter, my opinion may not be suitable, right?"

He didn't say anything right away, because he vaguely knew the future in a few months through the system, but it was only as of March 2017, and he had no way of knowing whether Lippi finally led the Chinese team to the 2018 World Cup.

But more importantly, the selection of foreign coaches as the head coach is often very deep, and he does not want to get involved too much.

"You are not only the captain of the team, but also the representative of the entire Chinese football, and the image of the sports world, your opinion...... We will certainly seriously consider it. ”

Cai Zhonghua looked humbly accepting advice.

Even if he really doesn't understand football at all, he is also a former table tennis world champion, and a blind person can see that when Long Shute is present and not present, that team is completely different, how can he completely ignore the opinion of such a player?

After all...... Football is not table tennis, table tennis you can change people at will, and then continue to win the championship of various competitions, but football is completely different, once you abandon Long Shute and support another core, it will definitely be the end of the world!

"Thank you for Cai Ju's trust, then I'll get straight to the point."

The foreshadowing that Long Shut wanted was over, so he put down his cup:

"Gao Hongbo has a lot of problems, such as a stubborn temper, some gateway views, bad relations with some veteran players, and of course the business level is not as good as a world famous coach like Lippi, but from the standpoint of a player, I think he is still very suitable for the current national team."

Someone frowned slightly, but did not interrupt his speech.

"Lao Gao was my first head coach of the national team, we won the 2011 Asian Cup together, he has some credit and hard work in public and private, this time he is also the only domestic coach who is willing to take over the team, I think, can let him continue to work."

Someone tried to refute it, but Ronshit didn't give him the time:

"Don't worry about the round of 12, I'm back and I'm stronger than I was a few years ago, no matter what sign we get in two weeks' time, it's not going to be a problem. Three years ago, I was able to lead the team to Brazil to reach the round of 16, but this time I can't even make it to the finals, right? You ...... me Don't you have any faith at all? ”

The men all laughed:

"That's, that's, of course we believe you."

Long Shute smiled:

"To be honest, even if you do bring Lippi here, I don't think he can bring me any improvement now, he is too old to even do the work of scouting domestic players, let alone the unrealistic task of reforming youth training and grassroots football. It's better to hand it over to Lao Gao, who can be regarded as the head coach we have cultivated ourselves. ”

Cai Zhonghua seemed to be a little moved, but he still didn't completely let go:

"We can't guarantee 100% that we will let Gao Hongbo continue to work, the premise is...... The team's results can't be too bad. ”

Long Shute nodded:

"You can set him a half-way goal, for example, if he doesn't get eight or 10 points in the first five games, he can just terminate the contract and then go to Lippi."

Cai Zhonghua briefly calculated the score, and then nodded in agreement:

"This is okay, Lao Yu, you prepare, sign the formal contract with Gao Hongbo within a week, and hold a press conference when the time comes, and I will attend it in person."

"That's right," Long Shute interjected, "Cai Ju, I have another suggestion, after all, it is our own coach, let's pay a little more, otherwise I will really have to pay for them out of my own pocket." ”

Cai Zhonghua smiled:

"You are a member of the two sessions, this suggestion is very good, we will definitely adopt it!"

-

After eating this official meal, Long Shute took the special car of the Football Association to Xianyang Airport.

His personal assistant, Krom Liu, looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed slightly:

"You're really a hero to 1.3 billion people again, boss."

Before boarding, they took a short break in the VIP lounge for half an hour.

Those who can rest in the VIP lounge are of course either rich or expensive, and they have at least some status in society.

But even so, Longshute met five or six elite people.

Of course, these people did not come over to hug his thighs with admiration, but between the words, they also greatly admired his feats of repeatedly saving the national team.

"We flew from Shanghai to Xi'an to watch this game, if you have a problem with the flow of funds, although you can come to me, I dare not say, I can still call the shots for three or five hundred million, and the interest rate will give you the lowest friendship price."

This is a bank president, not a loan shark.

"We are the first region in Guangdong to broadcast Yingbu, can we ask Long Xiansen to bring Liverpool to Guangdong to play a friendly match this summer? Don't dare to say anything else, the guaranteed ticket price is ten times higher than yesterday's game! Have you thought about it? ”

This is the CEO of a cultural company.

Long Shute happily exchanged business cards with them.

Although the actual assets of these people are far inferior to their own, there are times when they can really make a significant difference in their respective fields.

Encounter the big boss...... It's also a way to manage your network.

Didn't Newton get hit by an apple while he was sleeping?

-

A day later.

"Thank goodness you're here!"

When Rogers received a text message from Ronshette about his landing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He even drove his sports car all the way to Manchester's international airport (Liverpool's Xiaopo Airport has no regular routes in China) to pick up the team boss.

"Brendan, are you so nervous?"

Long Shute looked at the head coach who usually seemed calm and composed, but when it came to the critical moment, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Come on, we have two fewer games and a three-point lead, so the advantage is still very big, okay?"

Rogers shook his head as he stepped on the gas:

"Then let me ask you, is the Chinese team playing the Maldives more advantageous? Why are you in such a hurry to go back to China early to participate in the competition? ”

"......"

Long Shute was really countered by him.

Indeed, no one can really be at this moment, and those who persuade him to "calm his heart and cool naturally" are just because this matter has nothing to do with them......

Rogers continued to shake his head:

"Have you seen the schedule for April? Mark should have emailed you ten hours ago. ”

Ronshette took the phone from Krom and pressed the power button:

"Shall I sit in the sky for 17 hours?"

"The day after tomorrow at home to Tottenham, these guys are not easy to deal with, a week later the quarter-finals of the Europa League, against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, you have to be ready......

Rogers didn't hear a reaction, so he glanced at it.

This glance suddenly made him a little angry:

"You tmd slept on the plane for 17 hours and still slept here?!"

In other clubs, the manager personally drove to pick up the airport, any player should be grateful, right?

This guy ...... Why is there no response?!

Do you really think of yourself as a big guy?!

Watch Lao Tzu ban you internally in the next game!

Rogers' rage nearly burned his head.

He immediately calmed down:

Oh yes, since you're going to be banned, why are you going to pick him up?
