Chapter 358: The New Coach of the National Team (4)

The head coach of the Olympic team, Cesar Maldini!

Born in Trieste, a small city in northern Italy, César Maldini moved to AC Milan in 1954 and played 347 Serie A games for AC Milan over the next 11 years, becoming the first Italian to lift the European Champions Cup in 1963 and leading them to Serie A titles four times.

After retiring from football, Maldini Sr. began his coaching career, and what people did not expect was that Maldini Sr. had a more successful coaching career than his playing career. In 1982, he won the Shijie Cup with the team as an assistant coach to national team coach Bearzot. Later, Maldini Sr. became the head coach of the Italian youth team, and under his tutelage, the Italian star exploded, and led the team to win the European Youth Championship three times in 1992, 1994 and 1996.

Recently, Maldini Sr. led the Italian Olympic team all the way to win the first Olympic gold medal in the history of Italian football.

The reason why Zhuang Mingge chose the old Maldini is not only because in his memory, the old Maldini was the choice made by the Italian Football Association. The most important thing is that at the Atlanta Olympics, the old Maldini, who has a lot of AC Milan players, did not abandon the public for personal reasons, and arranged the troops completely according to the ability and competitive state of the players, and did not have a bias because of who had a good relationship with him, and this fair attitude was the key factor for Zhuang Mingge to recommend the old Maldini as the new national team coach.

In addition, the old Maldini, who has coached the Italian youth team for many years, has a unique advantage in selecting players, at least now this group of Italian players who are playing properly have almost all played under the old Maldini, and the old Maldini can be said to know their jishu characteristics; At the same time, the cooperation between the old Maldini, who has worked in the youth team for many years, and the Football Association will not be too shackled.

Seeing that Zhuang Mingge recommended the old Maldini, Galliani of AC Milan Club naturally did not raise objections. After all, the elder Maldini is a famous name of the Rossoneri and the father of the team's vice-captain Paolo Maldini, and AC Milan will not suffer anything because of the arrival of the elder Maldini.

Moggi also expressed his approval, and if the interests of Juventus FC are not harmed, Mo Lao Fox will still stand on the same front as his allies.

Sensi didn't say much, despite being born in AC Milan, where he was hostile, Sensi believed that with the character of the elder Maldini, he would not do such a tasteless thing like Sacchi.

Don't you see that the main striker of the national Olympic team during the Olympics is Totti from Roma? If the elder Maldini had selfish intentions, he could have put the more famous Pierrot in the midfield position, and then let the more intimate with Inzaghi Vieri play the main team, and I believe that others will not say anything superfluous about this.

However, the elder Maldini still corrected Totti's main forward position, which made Sensi very moved, and he naturally would not jump out at this time to do such a thing of revenge.

Cragnotti and Boss Mo's acquiescence to this was acquiescing, and Maldini Sr.'s more than ten years of hard work in the Italian youth team made them feel at ease with this respected football veteran.

It was unanimously approved, and the choice of the new Italian national team coach was decided.

"Antonio, though." After determining the new coach of the national team and doing the Italian Football Association a great favor, Perrault began to change his name to Zhuang Mingge, obviously he thought it would be closer, "If Cesar is promoted to the coach of the national team, then the candidate for the head coach of the youth team will also be affected by the trouble to recommend one to me." ”

It's interesting enough for me to give you a candidate for the head coach of the national team, why do you want to be the head coach of the youth team with me? Are you the president of the Football Association or me?

Although Zhuang Mingge complained in his heart about Perrault's lazy behavior, these offensive words obviously can't be put on the table, and if he helps the Football Association a few more times, Fiorentina will at least not be too miserable in the future schedule, for example, before and after the Champions League knockout round, he will play against the teams of the Holy League, this kind of thing will be fatal......

"Well, Chairman Perrault, please let me think about it for a moment...... Zhuang Mingge said, as he began to think about which coach's tactical style was more suitable for coaching the Italian youth team.

It stands to reason that when the elder Maldini was promoted to the head coach of the national team, his assistant Tardelli should successfully take over the position left by Cesar and become the new leader of the national youth team, and later proved that he did a good job in the national youth team, leading the team to win at least one European Youth Championship.

However, Zhuang Mingge still has doubts about Tardelli, in his memory, since Tardelli took over, the number of new stars cultivated by the national youth team for Italian football began to decline, although part of the reason for this is that the implementation of the Boseman Act has made many Italian teams no longer pay attention to the long cycle and slow effect of youth training, but Tardelli also has to bear an unshirkable responsibility.

In the 92 European Youth Championships, the elder Maldini dared to use Cannavaro and Nesta, who had almost no professional game experience, and finally won the championship, and when it came to the Tardelli era, Gattuso and Pirlo and others were not called by the national youth team until they married into the giants, and Tardelli was far inferior to his predecessor in terms of courage.

Therefore, the lack of courage Tardelli can only be a good deputy, the position of the head coach who needs to make decisions, Zhuang Mingge believes that he does not have this ability. And, most importantly, Zhuang Mingge, who knows that Italian football will be trapped in the dilemma of talent shortage in the future, is naturally unlikely to recommend Tardelli as the head coach of the youth team.

Learn about the style of Italian football, be bold and dare to bring in newcomers......

That's right! How did I forget about him!

After making up his mind, Zhuang Mingge looked at Chairman Perrault, who was waiting for him, and said: "Chairman Perrault, the coach I recommend is Cesare Prandelli, the head coach of the Atlanta youth team, I don't know what you think?" ”

"What?" Pero was stunned when he heard Zhuang Mingge's words, he didn't expect Zhuang Mingge to pull out such an inconspicuous coach from the corners, and he didn't react for a while.

Of course, even if he came back to his senses, he probably wouldn't remember who Prandelli was, and how could he remember the names of all the coaches as the president of the Italian Football Federation.

And Zhuang Mingge saw Perrault's reaction and secretly pursed his lips, saying in his heart that Lao Tzu should be content if he didn't recommend Mourinho to you, otherwise he would not be angry with you, an old man, with the nature of a magic bird.
