Chapter 36: My Goals and Dreams

Chang Sheng felt that he already knew Gao Hongbo very well, but in fact, he didn't know Gao Hongbo enough.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be surprised why Gao Hongbo, who should have been in the country, would appear with him.

It's very simple, because Gao Hongbo himself likes to come out and be influenced by advanced football concepts.

In 1999, Gao Hongbo became the head coach, at that time he was in Guangzhou Songri Club, due to the delay in the arrival of the foreign head coach invited by the club, as a last resort, the thirty-three-year-old Gao Hongbo was pushed to the position of Songri head coach, and he became the youngest head coach in the first A. However, only 12 points were scored in nine league games, and Gao Hongbo resigned.

The failure made Gao Hongbo realize that he still had a lot to fulfill, so he became the first young coach to study abroad at his own expense - of course, he is not now, and everyone didn't know about the existence of Chang Sheng when they said this. Now the first young coach to study abroad at his own expense is Chang Win.

He went to Southampton, Arsenal and Crystal Palace in England to study for three months, and with the help of Schlapner, he went to Frankfurt and Mannheim in Germany to study with the team, and observed and studied the training of Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

He learned from the team the training, command, management, etc. of world-famous coaches, and he could also ask for advice at any time, which was very rewarding.

This part is quite similar to Benitez's experience of studying on the European continent.

Therefore, there is no luck for successful people, whether it is Chang Sheng, Benitez, or Gao Hongbo, they have put in a lot of hard work, and constantly learn to improve themselves, so that they will have their respective successes in the future.

It is precisely because of such a study tour experience that Gao Hongbo is no stranger to coming to Europe to learn and recharge, and he seems to be familiar with it.

He came to Lazio to study because he had gone through all these years of coaching experience and made his own explorations and summaries. believes that Chinese football should still return to its feet, and there should be a mature tactical idea and a complete system.

He believes that Chang Sheng's set of tactics in Lazio is very suitable for Chinese football, giving full play to the characteristics of small and fast.

This may have something to do with the fact that Gao Hongbo was a small and fast striker when he played.

He prefers this style.

That's why he chose to come to Lazio.

After Chang Sheng saw Gao Hongbo, he was shocked and surprised.

But he still signed autographs for the fans first. After satisfying a few fans, he said that he had something to do first.

Then he lined up the crowd and walked towards Gao Hongbo, who was about to leave.

Chang Sheng shouted probingly in the back interview: "Gao Hongbo! ”

He wasn't sure if it was really Gao Hongbo, what if he just looked alike? After all, he didn't know why Gao Hongbo appeared in Italy, thousands of miles away, at this time.

Hearing his voice, the person in front of him really stopped. Then he hesitated and turned his head.

Then he saw the smiling face of Chang Sheng.

"Is it really you?" Chang Sheng said with a smile on his face.

Gao Hongbo himself did not expect that he would meet Chang Sheng in this situation.

He originally planned to learn secretly outside the training ground, after all, the media said that Chang Sheng was not a good person to get along with, and if he went to him rashly, he might be closed. Wouldn't it be terrible if it was stiff?

Who would have thought that Chang Sheng would recognize him in the crowd!

He didn't come to Furmelo to dress up on purpose. Disguise your identity.

He may be a celebrity in China, but who knows him in Italy......

※※※

Ten minutes later, Gao Hongbo and Chang Sheng were already sitting in the Lazio club's restaurant.

A drink was placed in front of each of them.

"Why are you here?"

Facing the head coach of the Chinese national team in the future, Chang Sheng still can't figure out this problem.

"I want to come and learn from your advanced football philosophy." Gao Hongbo smiled shyly, sitting in front of Chang Sheng, looking very quiet. If it weren't for the fact that Changsheng did it here. People walking in and out of the restaurant may not be looking at the place.

And now everyone is peeking here, guessing who the Chinese who asked the boss to invite here is.

※※※

"Have you ever heard of Chang's friends in China, Rudy?" Strength and conditioning coach Elias. Dominic asked.

The rest of the coaching staff also turned their eyes to him, looking forward to it.

Rudy let them down. He shook his head and shrugged his shoulders: "How do I know? I don't know about his relationships in China, and he doesn't usually talk about them. ”

"And who is this man? Chinese journalists? I remember when he was in Spain, didn't he have a Chinese journalist relationship with whom he had a very good relationship? ”

Rudy shook his head again: "This is not Ji, the two of them are completely different, right?" ”

"That's the other Chinese journalists?" Di Matteo said.

This time, Rudy didn't have to answer, and the other coaches said it was impossible: "Just kidding. Do you often invite journalists here? It was almost like the king being seen by a visitor in his bedroom! ”

At the same time, among the players, there was also speculation about who the Chinese opposite the boss was.

Their imagination is much richer than that of the coaches.

Some guess it's the boss's brother. Some guess it's a die-hard supporter of the boss.

There is also speculation that it will be someone from the Chinese Football Association who will come to coach the Chinese team......

"I've heard that their national team is bad, I don't want the boss to go, that's a ...... with no future"

※※※

"My advanced idea?" Chang Sheng was a little embarrassed, and he smiled self-deprecatingly. "But why are you here to learn this?" He asked again.

"I think your football tactics are very advanced and represent the direction of the future of football...... I think that if Chinese football can get in touch with your football as soon as possible and learn your football, maybe we will not ......be as defeated as we are now in the next stage of competition," Gao Hongbo said very seriously, the shy smile on his face was gone, and he even frowned when he spoke, looking a little anxious.

"But I'll be honest, you're not the head coach of the Chinese team now......"

"Sooner or later, yes." Gao Hongbo said this very confidently, even a little arrogant. It's not proportional to his shyness.

Seeing Chang Sheng's surprised expression, Gao Hongbo explained: "My goal is to become the head coach of the Chinese national team. That's my goal and it's my dream. ”

Chang Sheng stopped talking, and he recalled the scene after Gao Hongbo became the head coach of the Chinese national team.

When he was in power, he was criticized by the media and was considered a controversial figure. The media is always full of distrust and disdain for him. But when he left the team, the fans' thoughts proved who is the most popular national team manager.

It's not the European "famous marshal" Camacho, but the local young marshal Gao Hongbo!

He sighed.

Then he asked Gao Hongbo: "You plan to learn advanced things from me, and then use them on the Chinese team one day?" ”

Gao Hongbo nodded.

"Then why don't you come to me directly, but sneak around like a voyeur?"

Gao Hongbo was a little embarrassed: "I don't think I know how long I can stay here." I don't want to trouble you. You now represent the highest level of our Chinese coaches, and you can't be disturbed casually. And...... And...... I learned what you learned, but in the end I didn't help you, but went back to China to coach the national team, I think...... It's not kind ......."

Chang Sheng interrupted him.

"Start today. You're part of my coaching staff. From the afternoon, you'll be training in earnest! Staring at Gao Hongbo, Chang Sheng said.

This time it was Gao Hongbo's turn to be surprised.

His small eyes widened.

"Since you want to learn, of course, you have to learn hard at close range, how about learning the four things that you learn outside the door? I also want to do my part for Chinese football. But I don't have such conditions as you, I hope you can learn what you want from Lazio and bring it back. It's like a breeze that blows some fresh air into Chinese football, which is resting on its laurels and stagnant. ”

Gao Hongbo didn't expect Chang Sheng to be so easy to speak, didn't the media say that Chang Sheng was a very difficult person to deal with?

"This ...... Isn't that good? The result was completely unexpected.

Chang Sheng shook his head: "What's wrong?" ”

"I think you're paying too much for that. but not receiving a return......"

"Return? What do I want in return? I'm Chinese, brother! We are all Chinese! I love Chinese football, and even though it doesn't love me at all, I want it to be good. I hope it's good, good......"

Chang Sheng suddenly became emotional, and he raised his voice.

But this way. The people in the restaurant who peeked at him suddenly withdrew their gazes.

Gao Hongbo saw this representative of this young Chinese young marshal who was younger than him, but more famous than him and countless times more successful than him.

Has anyone ever seen him in such a gaffe?

I'm afraid not even the media that wants him to die.

But now he was out of shape in front of him.

He once heard his wife talk about the Football Association looking for Chang Sheng to coach the national Olympic team.

Although he didn't think that Chang Sheng's rejection of the Football Association was anything wrong, he didn't hesitate at all, and the clean refusal still made him a little complaining about Chang Sheng.

He felt that this man was too utilitarian.

But now, that impression in his mind is shaking.

The man in front of him is not like the youngest Champions League winning coach in history, and the youngest manager in history to lead two different teams to two Champions League titles, and he has nothing to do with those successful people.

He's more like ...... An ordinary Chinese fan.

Those Chinese fans who can scold and scold themselves, or strip naked in the stands with "The Chinese team rises" written on their chests, and finally burst into tears and look sad.

He has seen many such Chinese fans in his career as a player and coach.

Chang Sheng is no different from them.

Chang Sheng quickly recovered from the gaffe and said to Gao Hongbo: "In short, you work at Lazio, with us, you do whatever other coaches do. But if you don't have a contract, the club won't pay you a salary. Don't ask if it's worth it or not, just think of it as if I made some contribution to Chinese football.
