Coaching career started as a college team coach

///Resurrected! ///

"It's so exciting, so exciting!"

"It's so exciting, so exciting!"

Han Yang couldn't stop laughing after the first half. He had only watched the game to support Wei Le, and didn't have any expectations for the game.

In his opinion, it was actually acceptable for Wolves to lose here. After all, considering their hard power and the fact that they were still playing in the English Championship last season, it was beyond expectations to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League this season.

He was ready for Wolves to be fooled by Marseille's passing and control, and lose three goals in the first half.

But the excitement of this half, in his opinion, was no less than a Champions League semi-final!

Marseille players showed their best form at the beginning of the game. The aggressive attack made Wolves a little flustered in the first ten minutes, and gave Marseille many free kick opportunities.

Florian Thauvin's handball goal in the 15th minute made Han Yang furious, but there was nothing he could do. The first person he thought of was Wei Le.

Of course, he knew Wei Le's competitive spirit.

When he was a student, Wei Le would never give up any game. As long as there was time, he would do his best to win. If he failed, he would be upset and blame himself.

But he would not blame others.

This also made Han Yang feel that Wei Le's attitude towards football was sometimes too serious, which put too much psychological pressure on Wei Le.

But thinking carefully, perhaps it was because of his seriousness that he stood on the professional field and walked at the forefront of all Chinese football players.

Han Yang didn't care about the vague titles such as "the first Chinese football player" and "the first Chinese head coach". In his heart, Wei Le on the other side of the screen was still the young man with infinite desire for victory.

He was only worried that Wei Le would have problems with his mentality and make uncalm decisions.

But Wei Le didn't.

When he saw the Wolves players run towards Wei Le and form a circle after losing the ball, Han Yang suddenly felt relieved. He had a strong feeling that he would win this game.

As for why?

When the camera curiously swept over the group of people gathered in front of the Wolves' technical area, it deliberately stopped for a moment on the figure in the middle of the crowd who was talking.

Because he is Wei Le, he will not admit defeat.

As long as there is time, he will do his best to win.

What happened next was unexpected to most of the spectators who were watching the game, but to Han Yang, it was just as it should be.

But when Tierney's volley flew into the net from the bottom of the goal, he couldn't help but yelled out, which was both a celebration of the goal and a catharsis.

He saw the Wolves players gathered in the technical area for the second time, but unlike the loss and anger after the last time they lost the ball, this time, everyone had a happy smile on their face.

The group of the legal team also exploded, and everyone was discussing the performance of the Wolves in the first half. Even Yang Qi, who was far away in Germany and usually didn't talk much, said a lot in the group this time.

He also took a video of Maina, who was sitting next to him, and his roommates dancing and shouting the name of the Wolves.

"This buddy has betrayed." Yang Qi said helplessly, pointing to the Hannover 96 training suit that Maina was wearing. But after that, he also laughed.

"I'm curious about what the Wolves are saying in the locker room now." Zhao Pingping said.

Zhang Tie agreed, "Wei Le played with us for more than half a year, but I still remember what he said during the halftime break."

"It's been a long time since I played football with Brother Wei..." This was Jiang Xin, the goalkeeper who performed brilliantly in the freshman game at that time.

"Wait until the end of the season, he said he will definitely return to China!" Han Yang said.

"That's good, that's good, let's make an appointment for a game then!"

Yang Qi rushed out, "Don't worry, wait until I get back to play together!"

The league schedule of Hannover 96, where Yang Qi is, ends later than that of Wolves. Yang Qi, who has become a substitute player in the team, naturally cannot leave early.

"I will definitely not forget you, play your football well!" Han Yang replied unhappily.

Zhang Tie, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up, "By the way, we have Wei Le and Yang Qi. If Wei Le returns to the national team to lead the team and Yang Qi plays for the national team, will Chinese football be revived soon?"

The group chat that was just discussing heatedly suddenly became quiet.

It's not that everyone is unwilling to answer, but everyone is thinking.

Yes, a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Wei Le has already demonstrated his coaching talent, and the young coaching genius hasIt has attracted the attention of all of Europe and even the world. People say that his future is limitless.

As the saying goes, there is no legal retirement age for coaches.

The "oldest football coach in the world" who created the Guinness World Record is still leading the team at the age of 93.

The golden age of a head coach is generally between 40 and 50 years old. Wei Le is still 20 years away from his "golden age", and after he has passed the "golden age", he can continue to coach for a longer time.

Unlike players, the age of coaches also represents the improvement of qualifications and experience. By that time, perhaps Wei Le will really become the most legendary head coach in the world.

On Yang Qi's side, the young Chinese player born in 1997 faced the trough of his career after the suspension and returned to college for a while. But after he went abroad to play football and changed his track to start again, he went all the way up.

At the age of 21, he stepped onto the stage of the Bundesliga, which is enough to show his talent.

In China, the controversy caused by his "ban record" made the Football Association begin to re-examine the game that almost ruined the most talented striker in China. Coach Li Jianjun came out to testify, and with the endorsement of former national team coach Gao Hongbo, the investigation of that not-so-long game soon produced results.

Not surprisingly, that game was indeed controlled. The referee received benefits from the opponent's local football association, controlled the game, helped the opponent win, and finally won the cup championship.

This was to allow the opponent's local football association to exchange for more operating funds.

Surprisingly, this has actually formed an industrial chain, and there is even a price list according to the results of controlling the game! Many local football association officials were uprooted, and a reshuffle was also launched within the Chinese Football Association.

Maybe the wash is still not clean enough, but at least the Chinese Football Association really did something this time.

Yang Qi's incident also caused a discussion in society about football talents. Because of the name "Yang Qi", people began to rethink the operating logic of the Football Association.

A national, non-profit, sports association, a social organization with a public welfare nature whose purpose is to unite all Chinese football organizations and individuals to jointly develop football, has huge actual power and controllable funds that are not consistent with its status.

This makes people think about how to put such a great power into the cage of the system.

Yang Qi, who has been re-selected to the national youth team, killed all the opponents in the 2018 AFC U23 Asian Cup held in China, leading the Chinese U23 team to two wins and one draw in three games, defeating Uzbekistan and Oman, and drawing Qatar, and entering the knockout stage as the second in the group.

That session of the Chinese U23, which had Yang Qi, Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu, Barton, Gao Zhunyi, Zhang Yuan, Tang Shi and Li Shuai, was led by Italian head coach Madaroni and was called "the most promising group of young players after 2010."

But in the quarter-finals, they met the Japanese U23 led by the new generation Japanese head coach Moriyasu Ichi.

The Japanese team that went to the U23 Asian Cup this time was not fully staffed.

Previously, the most outstanding star of the U20 World Cup, Doan Ritsu, was already in Europe. In order to avoid affecting his prospects in the team, he was not recalled this time.

In 2017, the best newcomer of the J League, Nakayama Yuta, was not selected because he had too little rest time in the Emperor's Cup. The most watched former La Masia talent in Japan, Kubo Takefusa, was explained by Moriyasu Kazuo that he played for the U17 and U20 national teams in 2017, and he also needed to rest because of too many games.

Therefore, many local Japanese media were pessimistic when predicting this U23 Asian Cup, believing that the Japanese team was unlikely to achieve an impressive result.

However, this Japanese team with Itakura Ko and Ito Hiroki did not send out all the main players, but it still made the Chinese team difficult to resist.

In that difficult game, the Japanese team and the Chinese team fought to a penalty shootout with a score of 2-2. In the end, the Japanese team was better and advanced with a penalty shootout score of 4-3.

But despite this, the fans are still pleased with the performance of the Chinese team.

Back to Hannover 96, the team had plenty of forwards at the time, and there were not many opportunities for Yang Qi. However, Hannik, the other center forward who originally partnered with Felkrug, had a metatarsal fracture. Yang Qi actually got some starting opportunities after the winter break!

His performance was not very outstanding. In the five games before Hannik came back, he only had two assists and no goals.

However, the team performed very well.

Before the 27th round of the league match with Dortmund, Yang Qi pestered Wei Le and asked a lot of questions about Dortmund football.The problem of the players, when it came to the game, Yang Qi started the game, cooperated well with Fel Krug, helped Fel Krug score a header, and tied the powerful opponent 1-1.

After that game, Gotze took off his jersey and exchanged it with Yang Qi. This was also the first time that Yang Qi exchanged jerseys with others in the first-team professional arena.

When he heard that Yang Qi was Chinese, he immediately asked him if he knew Wei Le. After learning that Yang Qi and Wei Le were college classmates and Wei Le's legendary story, he was even more surprised.

"Then why can't your Chinese team enter the World Cup?" Gotze asked puzzledly.

Yang Qi didn't know how to answer, just smiled and let it go.

Whether it was his teammate Fel Krug or the then head coach Brettenreiter, this serious Chinese boy was a rare and valuable asset for the team.

Although Hanik still took the starting position after recovering from his injury, Yang Qi was not in a hurry at all.

He has proved himself.

Whether it was Yang Qi or Wei Le, everything seemed to be stable and improving.

Then, the friends in the group began to think again about the question they had avoided countless times before - if Yang Qi and Wei Le both went to the national team, could Chinese football really realize their dream?

"It's not that simple."

When Yang Qi broke the silence in the group with his speech a few minutes later, his voice sounded a little low in the voice bar.

"You also watched the U23 Asian Cup. Although the Japanese team was a remnant at the time, it also created a lot of threats to the Chinese team, which was playing with all the main players at the time. That time, many Chinese players played in the Chinese Super League, and some were the team's rotation main players."

"But it was still far from enough."

"I felt very powerless during the game, because I felt that I didn't play the same kind of football as them. They couldn't see my running position, and they couldn't receive my pass. The head coach also told me at the time that I didn't actually integrate into the team."

"Or, this team was not at the same level as me at the time."

"This U23 is likely to be the main player of our national team in the next five years, or even longer. But that Japanese team is not, I think Most of these people probably won't make it to the Japanese national team."

"They include Takumi Minamino, Ritsu Doan, Takefusa Kubo, Dairan Maeda, Daichi Kamada and Aoi Tanaka, and in the backcourt, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ko Itakura... They all play in Europe, but they didn't come to that Asian Cup."

"But how many people in our country play in the top or second-tier leagues in Europe? I count as one, Wei Le... Strictly speaking, he shouldn't be counted as one of them, plus Zhang Yuning and Lin Liangming from Almeria in the Spanish Second Division, are there any others?"

"Not enough, not enough at all. Football in every country in Asia is improving, but we are the only ones who are still playing our own games in this small piece of land, which is definitely not enough."

Yang Qi seemed to be unable to stop talking about Chinese football.

"Our generation is over, when will the next generation come out? Haaland was born in 2000, and he is already playing in the Premier League. What about ours?"

"Now the media calls 24-year-old Chinese players 'young players'. In European football, those over 23 are considered 'prime'! In the final analysis, isn't it because we don't have a new generation of players?"

"I'm stable here and have made it out, but what I've experienced is definitely not the only case in the country. In such a league system, how many people haven't made it out?"

"In the final analysis, even if Wei Le really coaches the national team, he can't do anything. A good cook can't cook without rice."

Yang Qi's voice bar stayed alone in the group for a long time, and finally the whistle of the game restarting ended this not very happy topic.

"Watch the game, brothers." Zhang Tie said.

"Yeah, watch the game."

Han Yang didn't reply. At this time, his joy from the wonderful performance in the first half was diluted a lot. He looked at a football placed in the corner of the room and fell into deep thought.

During the game, when the broadcast camera was given to the Wolves' coaching seat, a surprising situation occurred.

Zhan Jun asked in surprise, "Where is Coach Wei?"

"Where is Wei Le?"

Yes, where is Wei Le?

Wei Le's seat was empty, and there was no one in Celars' seat next to him. Next to him was Gianluca Conte's seat, which was occupied this time. He sat there with a normal look, and there seemed to be nothing different.

But where was the Wolves' head coach?

"Where is Wei Le?"

"Did something happen during the halftime break?" Liu Zihang said pessimistically,"I don't think so..."

"I don't think so?"

The game is still going on, and finding Wei Le is certainly not the main point of the game. Fans all over the world are asking this question, where is Wei Le?
