The club that found Li Guo was SH Shenhua, that is, the club that Geng Chong is currently playing for, and the idea they put forward was very bold - Li Guo was also the head coach of Shenhua. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

While this has happened, Guus Hiddink took on the role of head coach of the Russian national team in February 2009 and Slutsky in 2015 as head coach of the Russian national team.

But at that time, such a thing was still difficult to accept, it was a very controversial event, and the Chinese Football Association estimated that it would not agree to it 100%.

So why did Shenhua risk the world's condemnation?

Because of the world that Li Guo has traversed, Chinese football has entered the era of big capital in advance, and burning money has slowly formed a trend, and Shenhua cannot be compared with other clubs in terms of burning money, so the club came up with this brain-opening method, that is, to introduce the head coach of the national team.

And Li Guo is indeed a little tempted here, first, the annual salary given by Shenhua is very good, 5 million euros a year, and Shenhua said that the national team is preferred, if Li Guo's national team work and the club have a conflict, then the national team first.

Last but not least, the coaches of football powerhouses all started from their own clubs, such as Lippi, who coached Serie A giants, Juventus and Inter Milan before leading Italy to the World Cup in 2006.

"If you coach Shenhua, you can not only better discover the good players in the league, but also change the league, such as leading Shenhua to play the style of football you want," Li Guo thought.

But Chen An's words poured like a basin of cold water - if the Football Association scolds you to death, the media will scold you to death.

"I know it's going to be a huge controversy, but there's no national team manager of any football powerhouse who hasn't been trained in his home league, let alone the world, even in Asia, where the local coaches of RB South Korea have also been the head coaches of the best teams in their home leagues."

Maybe Li Guo can also start from the grassroots level, but Li Guo doesn't have that time, he wants to do what he wants to do quickly, some people may say that Li Guo is taking shortcuts, but many countries are also like this, but it's not so extreme.

At this moment, Cai Hua, chairman of the Football Association, asked Li to come over to BJ, and Li Guo smiled slightly, "It just so happens that I am also going to meet him." ”

*****

In the chairman's office, the atmosphere is quite relaxed, when Li Guo was signed two years ago, Cai Hua was under tremendous pressure, and even some media scolded the Football Association for not keeping Milu, but now it turns out that Cai Hua is right, and the choice of Li Guo is successful.

Cai Hua looked at Li Guo with a smile, "Li Guo, we are old friends, then I will get straight to the point, the Football Association wants to renew your contract, and after the Asian Cup in Qatar, the annual salary will also increase, what do you mean?" ”

Li Guole said, "Chairman, I happen to have something to tell you. ”

Cai Hua estimated that it was about the prize money for advancing to the World Cup, and it happened that Li Guo brought it up, but after Li Guo finished speaking, Cai Hua was stunned on the spot.

Then slam the table, "You're fooling around!" ”

Li Guo was still smiling, Cai Hua had always supported Li Guo 100%, but this time he was really mad, "It seems that Lao Feng is right, I am too used to you." ”

"Chairman......

"Don't interrupt me, I'm not done yet, let me ask you, if a person works at Adidas and has to apply for a job at Nike, do you think Adidas may agree?"

Li Tai told Hiddink about it, but it is still a different country, and the Russian Football Association can agree.

"Don't talk to me about that useless, Russia is Russia, China is China," Cai Hua huffed, "and then put aside a sentence, I can give you a raise, but don't even think about the idea of your part-time job." ”

"Chairman, may I speak now?"

Cai Hua nodded.

Li Guo said: "Chairman, I will get straight to the point with you, first of all, I am not for money, of course, if I am also the head coach of the club. Then I gave up the salary on the national team's side. ”

"The Football Association is not short of that money."

Li Guo smiled slightly, "Then let me tell me my true purpose." ”

Li Guo then elaborated for about 20 minutes, and made his thoughts clear, Cai Hua is a smart person, he understood when he heard it, and he was not so angry.

Li Guo continued: "In the 90s, in order to impact the World Cup, the Football Association once thought about letting the national team participate in league training, of course, it was impossible and unscientific, but if I led the club, I could indirectly achieve that purpose. ”

"Is that necessary?"

"It's necessary, the league is the foundation, and I don't have the experience of coaching in my home league, which is my biggest shortcoming."

Cai Hua nodded and shook his head, "No, no, the Football Association will be scolded to death, Li Guo, you have caused me enough trouble,"

"What are you worried about, Chairman?"

Cai Hua thought to himself, "What are you worried about? I can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights. ”

"First of all, the question of fairness, you are the head coach of the national football team, if you are also the head coach of one club, what do other clubs think?"

Li Guo nodded.

"Second, it's a matter of time, do you have that much time?"

These Li Guo can understand, Li Guo dropped a USB flash drive, "All my thoughts have been compiled into a report here, chairman, those who become big things are not informal, you think about it again." ”

After Li Guo left, Cai Hua thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Li Guo said was very reasonable.

Chinese football can now rely on overseas players to temporarily play the world, but this is only a leg, if the league is not good, it will be difficult for Chinese football to develop.

Thinking about it, Cai Hua sighed, "This Li Guo really doesn't let me worry." ”
