Chapter 014 Rijkaard withdrew

Zhuo Yang lay quietly at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, isolated from the world. The team most affected must be the Chinese national team.

The 2015 Asian Cup will be held in Australia in January. The Chinese team has never tasted the taste of the Asian championship. This time it was expected to win the championship and compete with the top eight in the World Cup.

But Zhuoyang is gone, and the Chinese team cannot be called leaderless, because there is no dragon. A group of weak wolves have lost their most ferocious leader.

The Chinese team has been in chaos since November, and the few warm-up matches were played as if they were back in 2008. Jerry Jaccard tried his best to calm the team down, and then such a confused team went to Australia.

To be honest, under the current situation, the Chinese team's performance in the group stage has been quite good. Everyone fought for Zhuoyang with great sorrow and solemnity. They won three games in three games and won the first place in the group. Moreover, the three opponents were not weaklings. .

It's just that all three games were narrow wins with one goal. 1:0 Saudi Arabia, Yu Hai scored in the 80th minute, after a good goal from Saudi Arabia's Hazaqi was disallowed.

Defeated Uzbekistan 2:1 and North Korea 2:1.

But after qualifying and reaching the quarterfinals, the Chinese team finally couldn't stand it anymore and was eliminated by the host Australia 3:0. The 35-year-old veteran Cahill scored a hat trick.

In good conscience, the Australians held back in the end. They hugged the Chinese team players before and after the game to express their condolences.

In fact, the Chinese people can still accept this result, and frankly speaking, not many people are paying attention to the national team at this time, and everyone's eyes are still on Zhongnan Mountain.

Even the eyes of the entire football world are not on the national team. As the soul of Chinese football, Zhuo Yang is not only the soul on the court. His every move affects all aspects of Chinese football, not to mention Now lie down.

No one pays attention to the current national team, and no one cares.

After returning to China, coach Rijkaard suddenly announced his resignation.

Jieshuai can no longer carry it. Coaching the Chinese national team is much more difficult than he imagined when he was high-spirited seven years ago. At that time, he knew that there was only one Zhuo Yang in China, but he did not expect that there was really only one Zhuo Yang.

A one-person team is by no means what outsiders imagine. The coach can be the boss. On the contrary, because there is no alternative second plan, every game is like walking on a tightrope.

Zhuo Yang is the treasure of the Chinese people. Everyone is happy when the game is over. Once an unsatisfactory situation occurs, no one will blame Zhuo Yang. Guess who will take the blame?

Jieshuai Alexander in these years,

He is not a head coach with strong ability to withstand pressure. In these aspects, he is indeed inferior to Mourinho and Guardiola.

What supports Jieshuai are his relatively impressive results, Zhuo Yang who protects him from wind and rain, and his fairly generous salary.

But now that the rain shields and windbreakers are gone, performance will inevitably decline significantly. Then, do you think it is so easy for Chinese people to get money?

In the final analysis, Jieshuai lost his confidence. He didn't even have the slightest confidence in leading a Chinese team without Zhuo Yang to qualify for the next round of World Cup Asian qualifiers, not at all.

In seven years, Jieshuai has made enough money in China that he will never spend in a lifetime. The salary of the top coaches in world football is only a fraction, and the commercial returns are the real ones that make his hands cramp.

It was precisely because of the prosperous seven years that Jieshuai developed a strong fear of the darkness in the future, and he did not have the courage to continue.

Jieshuai's contract is renewed every four years, and the cycle ends with the Asian Cup after the World Cup. At the end of January 2015, his old contract expired. The new contract had been negotiated for a long time. It was also a four-year contract and the annual salary increased from 5.9 million euros to 6.5 million euros, an increase of more than 10%.

After the old contract expires, you only need to sign the new contract. But Jieshuai did not sign this time. He announced his resignation and stated that he would no longer coach any team, including club and national team.

Rijkaard retired.

Although Jieshuai's coaching staff has been in the team at different times, it is a head coach's overall responsibility system. His resignation means that everyone has resigned.

The national team has no important competition tasks in the first half of the year. The first group stage of the 2018 Russia World Cup will not start until June. Before that, there were only a few scattered friendly matches.

The resignation of Jieshuai and the coaching staff made the national team even more chaotic, but it still did not attract enough attention.

Some dirty things have always been there, but no one dared to do anything wrong after being suppressed by Zhuo Yang for these years. But now that the mountain has fallen, some of the debris has naturally moved his mind again.

The national team is the core of Zhuoyang's series of Chinese football plans, and all plans will ultimately be led by the national team. When the national team was over, his career was in vain.

Can't say escape. After Jie Shuai withdrew and the team dispersed, it did not mean that everyone did not have the courage. Former assistant coach and Swiss Siriacco Sforza expressed his willingness to take over.

But at this time, no one supported him at all, because he was not one of them in the eyes of some people, and no one even paid attention to him.

But Sforza is a smart man and he knows what to do. In early February, Sforza and three former national team assistant coaches, Lombardo and Vaughns, came to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, visited Zhuo Yang, and then had a detailed discussion with Zhuo Qiu, who was pregnant.

The next day, Zhuo Yang's sister Zhuo Qiu and Zhuo Yang's royal reporter Cheng Hao issued public statements at the same time, supporting Sforza as the new head coach of the Chinese team and believing that he would be able to complete all Zhuo Yang's plans and careers. .

In fact, this is all for fans across the country. Zhuo Qiu from the Football Association settled the matter with just one phone call. Zhuo Yang is asleep, but everyone in the old Zhuo family is awake. Who can jump out and take a look?

Immediately afterwards, many Chinese football legends and former international players, as well as South Africa's World Cup meritorious players, all spoke out in support of Sforza. As a result, Brother Zha took office smoothly.

However, Zago's qualifications are indeed too low, especially his qualifications as a head coach are far less prominent than Rijkaard's, so his salary is not that high, so he has 1.8 million to spend first.

Cheng Hao, like Zhuo Yang, likes to give people nicknames, and Rijkaard's "Jie Shuai" came from him. Cheng Hao originally planned to call Sforza ‘Uncle Zha’, but he obviously took advantage of Klopp.

Therefore, the new coach of the Chinese team was called ‘Guide Zha’. Temporarily, of course.

The kidnapper Colombardo stayed in office, and he was already preparing to live in China for the rest of his life. Warnes stayed on, he stayed for Zhuo Yang.

Goalkeeper coach Juan Unzue is gone and he is going to Barcelona to assist Enrique. Neeskens has also retired, but he has no plans to leave China. This place is like paradise to him, and he has to spend time wandering.

Zhuoyang's personal trainer during the World Cup in Brazil, Italian Kenny Dunbar, one of the original "Five Old Men" of Madiburg, did not develop the talent of an assistant coach, but he had an idea and contacted the old team.

The third goalkeeper of Madibau during the 2006 Triple Crown, the former team's 'entertainment committee', the current assistant goalkeeper coach of the first team, and Zhuoyang's old friend, the German Ian von Adrian, accepted Sifford At the invitation of Zha, he became the goalkeeper coach of the Chinese national team.

Adrian didn't play many serious games that year, so he was worried about organizing parties after the games. He was extremely popular.

In 2010, the 35-year-old Adrian retired and stayed at Madiburg Club to become the youth training goalkeeper coach. Over the years, he gradually became Ilgner's assistant. Ilgner is the best goalkeeper coach in Germany today, and he is also the head goalkeeper coach of Madiburg.

South Africa's World Cup heroes Li Wei and Li Jinyu joined the national team coaching staff as assistant coaches. These are the people named by Sforza and her eldest sister.

Zhuoyang is resting, but his football career is still moving forward.
