Extraordinary coach

"The latest news, Chinese coach Sun Yi officially becomes the head coach of Nice." - L'Equipe.

Just two days later, L'Equipe, a famous French sports media, took the lead in publishing the news that Sun Yi coached Nice. Once this news came out, not to mention anything else, the French football world was in an uproar.

"Who is this guy? Where did he come from?"

"Can anyone tell me where this guy came from and how he became the head coach of Nice?"

"Oh my God! Is this a joke? A guy who has never been heard of suddenly became the head coach of Nice? And he is a Chinese?"

"What's going on? Is this person the owner of Nice? Did he buy Nice and then come to coach himself?"

The French were surprised to see this news, and the fans of Nice were even more confused.

"This is not true. It is absolutely impossible. This is definitely a rumor. How could our team be so stupid?"

The fans of Nice did not believe that the news was true. But when they wanted the club to come out to refute the rumor, they saw the signing announcement on the official website of Nice.

After confirming that it was true, the fans of Nice almost went crazy.

"Is this guy the boss of our team? Why can't I find any information about his coaching experience?"

"We only know that this guy is called Sun and is Chinese. As for the rest, we know nothing. He doesn't even have a coaching record in the Chinese league. Such a guy became the head coach of our team? Is today April Fool's Day? This joke is not funny at all, okay?"

"Let a Chinese who has never coached a professional team be the head coach, why not let me come? I have watched football for at least decades!"

"Damn it, this must be something that the Chinese boss messed up. The Chinese don't understand football at all, they can only mess around."

"Get out, we don't want any Chinese boss. We don't want any Chinese coach."

"Chinese, give Nice back to us. Nice is not your plaything."

"That shitty Chinese coach, get out! That shitty Chinese boss, get out!"

The more they thought about it, the more angry the Nice fans were, and they even protested with banners at the gate of the Nice team base that day. They shouted slogans asking the Chinese to get out of the Nice team.

This scene was naturally recorded by the French media, which had been paying attention for a long time, and then it was played on various media for 24 hours.

Originally, a Chinese coaching a French team was already eye-catching enough. Nice fans protested on the day Sun Yi signed the contract. This kind of news is really rare.

After attracting high attention from the media, some people naturally went to find out about Sun Yi's background. The British media are not unfamiliar with him. After all, he was frequently seen next to Mourinho half a year ago. The British media thinks it is normal for an assistant coach of a Premier League giant to become the head coach of a French Ligue 1 team.

In addition to the British media, media in countries such as Spain and Italy also questioned Sun Yi's coaching qualifications, but more of them were just gloating and waiting to see the show.

It was the German media that severely criticized the current situation of French football.

"The French have really fallen. They have made French football a plaything of Chinese money."

"Some time ago, Chinese businessmen took over. Then they hired a Chinese coach who was obviously a puppet as the head coach. This situation is absolutely tragic for the Nice team."

"Now many Chinese bosses are waving money to buy European teams. But this is definitely not good news for European football. On the contrary, it will definitely be a disaster. The situation of the Nice team is the best proof."

"We German football don't want to become a plaything of Chinese capital. So far, no team in the Bundesliga or the German Second Division is controlled by Chinese businessmen. This is the most correct approach."

"French football is already hopeless. As it continues to open its arms to Chinese capital, there will be more and more jokes like the Nice team in the future."

"Let's pray for French football, and hope they won't become the same level as Chinese football."

The ridicule of the German media is quite powerful. It makes every French fan lose face. Then, they also follow the Nice team and mock them desperately. Some people even ask the Nice people to revolt online to overthrow the Chinese control over the Nice team.

The Nice incident soon spread to China. People in China originally believed that the Chinese boss was nepotism and brought the domestic system to France. Those who did not know Sun Yi also questioned the Nice team's approach.

However, as the European media rose to various levels of ridicule and belittlement of the Chinese, domestic fans began to support it.

"What's wrong with the Chinese? We have money to buy your team, and we want to be your boss and your head coach."

"Come on, Sun Yi. Although I don't know where you came from, I hope you can make achievements. Let foreigners see that Chinese coaches are also capable."

Sun Yi never knew that becoming the head coach of the Nice team would cause so many storms.

When he heard that some fans shouted at the gate of the Nice team that he and Zheng Nanyan should get out together, Sun Yi was completely stunned.

Sure enough, Europe is still full of prejudice against Chinese football.

It is not uncommon for a previously unknown person in Europe to suddenly become the head coach of a team. Could he, an assistant coach from Chelsea, be worse than these people?

But just because he has a Chinese face, he was asked to get out before he officially started working. Sun Yi was really angry.

After learning about this unexpected situation, Mourinho also called to comfort Sun Yi as soon as possible. Encouraging him not to be afraid and to face these challenges bravely. He also said on his Facebook that Sun Yi is a capable and talented coach.

Sun Yi himself will naturally not back down. The more doubts and rejections others have, the more he wants to face the challenges and prove himself. Prove that Chinese people can also play football well.

But the only thing Sun Yi is worried about is his top boss. In the face of such huge external pressure, Zheng Nanyan is likely to give up on him.

If this is true. Then he will become the first person in the history of world football to be fired just after signing and before taking office.

However, Zheng Nanyan gave him a reassurance.

"Don't worry about these voices from the outside world. Take office tomorrow with peace of mind. Nice is our team now, and no one can just want us to leave."

"What's wrong with the Chinese? There is nothing in the world that the Chinese can't do. Unless we don't want to."

"Show them. Lead the team well and let the foreigners know. As long as we Chinese want to, we can do football well. Go ahead and do it. I and Plateno Group will support you in everything. As long as you can lead the team to avoid relegation, no one can touch you."

"I don't believe it. Can I, Zheng Nanyan, make a mistake?"
