Lazio's unbeaten streak and winning streak are all being discussed in the media.

But Chang Sheng is still not interested.

His eyes fell on the Coppa Italia quarter-finals and the Asian Cup.

After the match against Bologna, the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup in Qatar also kicked off.

China was unfortunate to be drawn against Japan in the quarter-finals.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, so after the results of this draw came out, many calm people thought that the Chinese team was determined to lose this time.

Although there are many fans with high patriotic sentiment who are shouting that they want to kill little Japan, football matches cannot be won by patriotic enthusiasm alone......

To be honest in this game, the Chinese team played very tenacious.

Twelve minutes into the game, they scored the lead.

This start came as a big surprise to many.

However, Japan then equalised through their Borussia Dortmund star Shinji Kagawa.

In this game, the Chinese team played Gao Hongbo's tactics to the fullest, which made the Japanese team feel a little headache.

Neither side scored in the first half.

Went into halftime with a score of 1:1.

The game is also watched in front of the TV.

No matter what he has to do or how busy he is, he will definitely watch the Chinese team's game.

He is a fan of Chinese football, he likes Chinese football, this love has nothing to do with who is the leader of the Chinese Football Association, and has nothing to do with what system Chinese sports is, just because he likes football, and he is a Chinese, so he likes and supports the Chinese team.

It's as simple as that, in his heart, the Chinese team can represent him.

He is willing to see Chinese football get better. Even if this kind of good will be picked by the Football Association in the end, it will be good.

Just like people always say that the Chinese team broke into the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, and the Chinese women's football team is brilliant, these have made a fig leaf for the Football Association. But didn't such a result bring even a glimmer of joy to the fans?

As long as the fans are happy, isn't that okay?

The Football Association uses it as a fig leaf or something, which is beyond the control of ordinary fans.

But at the very least, they can feel happy, and each takes what he needs.

In fact, it is almost impossible to prevent the Football Association from using it as its own fig leaf. The Football Association of any country will regard the results of the national team as its own credit, and the good results of the national team during his leadership are his achievements, which is understandable.

Chang Sheng is very open to this. He doesn't think that Chinese football should let the Football Association get rid of it completely. Then you won't be able to play.

What does the Football Association love to do, he just wants to enjoy the victory of the national football team.

※※※

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the team that scored first was still the Chinese team!

Sixty-third minute. The Chinese team took the lead again.

It's just that as in the first half, it didn't take long for Japan to equalize again, and the scorer was Shinji Kagawa.

Gao Hongbo then began to recycle the defense, and they used possession tactics to defend.

and the Japanese team.

The game went on until the eighty-ninth minute. The impasse was finally broken.

The Japanese team scored a goal in the last minute by Masahiko Ino and finally beat the Chinese team 3:2.

The Chinese team was eliminated from the competition.

When he saw this result, Chang Sheng sat on the sofa and sighed.

If it weren't for the Japanese team, the Chinese team might have been able to go further.

Today's Japanese team is too strong, far from being something that the Chinese team can compete with...... In fact, Japanese football has become a bit detached from Asian football. They are far superior to other Asian teams, whether they are East or West Asian.

And what about Chinese football? Still wandering.

With such a comparison of strengths, the Chinese team wants to beat the Japanese team in this kind of competition. It's really hard.

Therefore, it is normal for the Chinese team to not be angry because the Chinese team lost to the Japanese team, and the Chinese team cannot win against the Japanese team.

The important thing is to see the progress of Chinese football in this.

In the face of the powerful opponent Japan, the Chinese team was neither humble nor arrogant, very calm, and also led twice in the game.

This was before the Asian Cup. Can you think of it?

No.

But the Chinese team did it.

That's progress.

At a time when Chinese football is in a dark trough, it is remarkable that there can be such progress.

Chang Sheng sees the role he plays in this.

This shows that his approach is useful.

Then we can continue to cooperate like this in the future.

※※※

The Asian Cup reached the quarterfinals. In the end, he was eliminated by the Japanese team, but his performance was very good, and Chang Sheng felt that Gao Hongbo's position should be stable with his help, and he could not see Camacho's second-rate coach to coach the Chinese team.

But what he didn't expect was that he still received a call from the Chinese Football Association.

And the Football Association called and invited him to coach the Chinese team!

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this call, he thought he was wearing it again......

"I'm the head coach of the national team?"

"Yes, that's right...... We have recently been talking to Wanda Group, they hope to find a world-class coach for the Chinese national team, and in terms of personal treatment, Wanda Group will also support it, so there is no need to worry about money......"

Chang Sheng interrupted the other party's words: "A world-class handsome? ”

"Yes, Wanda Group believes that world-class coaches can bring changes to the Chinese team......"

Chang Sheng interrupted the other party again.

What Wanda Group thinks, he knows very well, because he is here through time.

This kind of thing doesn't need to be passed on again by the Football Association's mouthpiece.

Of course, he wanted to refuse directly, but he thought about it, if he refused so simply and rudely, there was no guarantee that Wanda and the Football Association would not continue to look for a famous coach, and then went around and found Camacho's head again...... That's definitely not what I want to see.

So he thought about it, I'm afraid he still has to explain this matter to the Football Association and Wanda's people.

He knew that both the Football Association and Wanda were a bit flattering.

But there are some things that must be said, and what others say doesn't work, and I don't know if what he says will work.

Since Wanda and the Football Association are willing to come to coach him, it means that what he said may still have some energy, right?

But on the phone, it came and went. More inconvenient.

So Chang Sheng did not refuse directly, but told the other party: "If you can come to Rome, we will have an interview." ”

When the Football Association heard that Chang Sheng actually took the initiative to invite an interview, it was good to dare to do so!

It's better to be able to meet in person than to be on the phone.

So the Football Association quickly called Chang Sheng again and told him that the leaders of the Football Association and the head of the Wanda Group would fly from China to Rome in the near future to meet with him.

※※※

It only took two days for Chang Sheng to meet the representatives of both sides in Rome.

The Chinese Football Association still attaches great importance to him, and the person who came turned out to be the full-time vice chairman Wei Di, and the person from Wanda Group was Wang Jianlin's son. Wang Qiang is also a director of Wanda Group.

This specification is quite high.

It also fully shows that the Football Association and Wanda Group attach great importance to this matter.

And Chang Sheng, on the other hand, saw what he was worried about from this specification.

The Football Association and Wanda attach great importance to this kind of coach selection month. The more that shows their determination.

It seems that he was right to insist on the interview, because it was only when he was face-to-face that he was able to convince the other party.

Sankata sat down at an Italian restaurant near Tsunekata's house.

According to the Chinese habit, everything should be discussed at the dinner table.

This time was no exception.

Chang Sheng is a treat.

The other side gladly accepted.

The atmosphere seems to be quite harmonious.

Everyone didn't go straight to the point as soon as they came up, but greeted each other first. Let's talk about the gas, talk about the food in Italy, talk about Lazio's recent results, and talk about the results of the FIFA Ballon d'Or award that just ended.

Vidi also denounced FIFA - it doesn't cost to say this kind of thing anyway, it doesn't hurt to talk about it, as long as you can win and change it.

Chang Sheng smiled.

That's flattering yourself, isn't it?

It's a pity, though. The next step is to refuse their kindness.

Everyone chatted aimlessly.

Chang Sheng could see that there was some anxiety in Viddy's eyes, and he must be in a hurry to talk about it......

Chang Sheng pretended not to see it. Keep arguing with them.

It wasn't until he was halfway through the meal that he put down his knife and fork for a while, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then put the napkin aside.

Seeing his action, the spirits of the two people opposite were lifted.

They know. Business is coming. So they also put down the knives and forks in their hands and looked at Chang Sheng very seriously. Wait for him to speak.

Sure enough, Chang Sheng opened his mouth and said: "I am honored to receive an invitation to coach the Chinese national team. Being able to do something for Chinese football has always been something I wanted, just like I did when I was preparing for the Asian Cup in China......"

Vidi nodded: "Yes, no one will doubt your feelings for Chinese football." ”

Wang Qiang also nodded.

Chang Sheng continued: "I hope that Chinese football will be good from the bottom of my heart, and I have not only said this to you, but also to Gao Hongbo. Therefore, it is precisely because I hope that Chinese football will be good, that I cannot accept your invitation. ”

The two people on the other side were smiling, waiting for Chang Sheng to continue.

But now, when they reacted, the smiles on their faces froze.

Then they looked at each other in surprise.

Did I hear that right?

Chang Sheng rejected us?!

Weidi turned his head back and looked at Chang Sheng: "That, I didn't hear it clearly just now, can you ......?"

Chang Sheng repeated his words: "I said, I can't accept your invitation, I won't coach the Chinese national team." ”

This time, Wei Di and Wang Qiang are confirmed, they didn't hear it wrong, that's what people often win!

He directly declined the invitation!
