Chapter 1044 Choosing a Coach

The day after the match in Chinatown, Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 away from Villarreal.

The overall performance of the Shenzhen Army was not ideal. Although they scored first, they were equalized by the opponent in the 79th minute and ultimately failed to score again at the Love Song Stadium.

However, Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-1 away from home and continued to defend the top spot in the league.

After thirteen rounds, Barcelona ranked first with 37 points. Martino's team's impressive record of twelve wins and one draw is indeed admirable. Zidane led Chinatown to twelve wins. With a record of one loss, Atletico Madrid ranked second, two points less than Chinatown, ranking third, and Real Madrid was six points less than Atletico Madrid, ranking fourth.

Regarding Chinatown's ability to withstand the pressure and win 3-0 against Levante at home, both media reporters and fans gave a very high evaluation. They believe that Chinatown is fully capable of posing a threat to Barcelona as long as it continues to maintain its current momentum. , and even have a chance to overthrow Barcelona.

If this team with the lowest average age in La Liga really wins the championship in the end, it will be a major event in Spanish football.

However, some media reporters expressed concern. After all, there are cases where Chinatown has been unstoppable. During the previous period of Pochettino's coaching, Chinatown once occupied the top spot for a long time, but its performance was unstable in the second half, and its results plummeted. In the end, it only won the top spot. Reached fourth place in a league.

Regardless, Zidane's performance this season has been impressive.

However, in La Liga, Martino's Barcelona is the most eye-catching, but this eye-catching lies in the fact that although Martino's team remains undefeated and still tops La Liga, both within the team and the fans None of them were satisfied with him.

The impressive record of 12 wins and 1 draw in 13 games can be regarded as a dream for Martino, who has just arrived and coached a European team for the first time. However, everyone seems to be unfazed because he did not continue the Barcelona legacy. The tradition of ball control.

Rotate Messi and Ibrahimovic, use Pedro as a substitute, adopt a double midfielder style, and reuse Rakitic...

Martino's various actions have put him in controversy. Even local Barcelona players such as Xavi have some doubts about Martino's playing style, especially the tactical play that abandons possession of the ball.

But Martino's attitude was very tough, saying that he would continue to stick to his own style of play and would not waver.

It can be said that Barcelona's results this season are indeed surprising, but they are also caused by internal and external troubles.

In any case, after thirteen rounds, La Liga was once again suspended, ushering in two weeks of national team competitions.

But Gao Han received news from Xiang Tianming from China.

…………

…………

"Just yesterday, the Chinese Football Association officially issued a coaching selection notice."

In the living room of Villa La Finca, Gao Han used his tablet computer to video chat with Xiang Tianming who was far away in BJ. The latter showed him a document in the video. He couldn't see it very clearly, but when he turned back to Xiang Tianming, it would be transmitted to him. Gao Han's mailbox.

"According to the plan listed in this coaching selection notice, head coaches who are interested in competing for the new coach of the national football team should submit application materials to the Football Association within 20 days, and then the Football Association will establish a coaching selection expert group and a working group to be responsible for reviewing the application materials. Screen."

"The expert group includes many local coaches who have coached national-level teams and German football expert Stephen and others, while the working group is led by the Football Association's technical department."

Gao Han burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Is this going to be a large-scale job fair?"

"As far as I know, in the past few years, the Football Association has not been as rumored by the outside world, but has actually carried out a series of reforms. Among them, the process and mechanism of selecting coaches have been borrowed from many large state-owned enterprises to recruit senior executives. The experience has formed a complete set of procedures and systems, and each link has a corresponding responsible person."

Xiang Tianming often deals with the Football Association and must know these things better than Gao Han.

"For example, this time, the entire coaching selection process has seven stages, from formulating plans, collecting application materials, expert selection, candidate interviews, second comparison of expert groups, targeted detailed negotiations, to final leadership decision-making, each step The processes are very clear and transparent, and the direction is clear.”

"Really?" Gao Han was a little surprised. This was really the first time he had heard of such a thing, and he was a little reluctant to believe it. "Does the Football Association really have such a mechanism for selecting coaches?"

This is far from the image of the Football Association in his impression.

"This is indeed the case, and it has been implemented. Every step is followed in accordance with the process and mechanism. Now we have reached the second step."

After hearing this, Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But even so, what can I choose?"

This question really stopped Xiang Tianming.

"Based on this registration mechanism alone, I think it is impossible for a truly capable coach to compete for the position." Gao Han shook his head.

He didn't know about others, but it was absolutely impossible for him to compete for such a handsome position. Wouldn't that mean he was devaluing himself?

Not to mention reaching his level, I am afraid that none of the front-line and slightly famous head coaches in world football would be able to compete for such a position. The reason is very simple. If he succeeds, that's fine, but if he fails, Woolen cloth?

"Yes, as far as I know, there is indeed no first-tier head coach. It is said that several foreign head coaches who are slightly famous in China have also asked to keep it secret. They don't want anyone to know about their recruitment." Xiang Tianming smiled helplessly. road.

Gao Han could understand this request. After all, if the news leaked, it would be a big loss to their reputation.

This is why brokers exist.

Regardless of whether he is a player or a head coach, in the current situation, an agent needs to come forward.

"Actually, Camacho's failure also caused a lot of controversy within the Football Association. The annual salary is so high. Although there are sponsors to pay for it, it is still a lot of pressure. Now the new coach has no sponsors to pay for it, and the Football Association is strapped for money. I simply couldn’t afford that much money, so I never thought of hiring a famous coach from the beginning.”

Xiang Tianming was somewhat teasing and helpless.

Gao Han didn't want to continue to struggle with this issue, "What's next?"

"The next step is for the expert group to conduct the first round of screening of the candidates based on the actual needs of the national team, eliminate some unsuitable targets, and the remaining ones will enter the second round of interviews."

"Interview? How to interview?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

"It is said that members of the expert group will ask various questions, including football concepts, professional awareness, coaching resume and abilities, understanding of Asian football and Chinese football, etc., covering everything from the overall situation to the details, and then the working group will After unified summary, an interview outline is formed.”

As soon as Xiang Tianming finished speaking, Gao Han shook his head and laughed, "Then, like recruiting in a large enterprise, invite all the candidates who participated in the competition one by one, interview them one by one, and ask all the questions?"

In the video, Xiang Tianming shook his head, laughed, and nodded to express that that was it.

"If the head coach of a team can be selected through such a short period of selection and interview, then with such a mature management mechanism in European football, how can any team choose the wrong head coach?"

"Taking a step back, if those expert groups have the ability to select whether the interviewer has sufficient coaching level with just a few questions, then how high-value and technical-content should the questions they ask be? And being able to ask such high value If you are an expert on technical issues, how high is your coaching level?"

Gao Han's continuous questions left Xiang Tianming speechless and his whole body became Spartan.

He does feel that this coaching selection mechanism is a bit strange.

The simplest one, such as Gao Han, it is absolutely impossible for him to submit his resume and interview.

Not to mention the cold, Mourinho, Guardiola, Lippi and other first-tier European coaches are unlikely to accept such a selection mechanism. Doesn't this mean that they are ruining their reputation?

Besides, Gao Han is right. Just a few simple questions can test whether a head coach is genuine?

Coaching a team can be said to be very simple, but it can also be said to be quite complex. This cannot be tested by just a few experts and a few questions.

Even if Gao Han pushed a rookie like Zidane to the front desk this season, the reason is that Zidane was once the best top star in the world, and then studied under Mourinho and Gao Han. After years of cooperation, Gao Han recognized Zidane's abilities and invited him to coach Chinatown.

During the entire process, there was no resume submission and no interviews required.

"According to the news I got, the coaching team will go to Europe at the end of December or January to interview and talk with many candidates, and then they should go to Madrid." This is the key point of Xiang Tianming.

The cooperation between Chinatown and the Chinese Football Association has been prepared by Gao Han for a long time, mainly in youth training.

After the Chinese Football Association arrives in Madrid, it will visit the training base in Chinatown and meet with Spanish Football Association and government officials. Gao Han has already made arrangements for this.

Both the Spanish Football Federation and the government have a strong interest in youth training cooperation with China. Gao Han and Chinatown are leading the way, and they are also happy to see the results. After all, this is good for the promotion of La Liga in China and Asia. .

According to the communication and negotiation between Gao Han and the two parties, Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy plans to visit China in 2014, so the three parties are interested in promoting this cooperation before visiting China, thereby elevating the entire football cooperation project to the national level. .

As the middlemen and the focus of cooperation between the two parties, Gao Han and Chinatown will also play a vital role.

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of everything in Spain." Gao Han nodded.

"Well, I will also follow the Football Association working group to Europe at that time. I will communicate with you in detail about the specific matters and procedures."

When Xiang Tianming said this, he looked at Gao Han again, "In addition, there is a big boss in the Football Association who wants to invite you to attend the expert group. Look..."

With Gao Han's influence in world football and China today, if he attends the expert group, it will undoubtedly make the entire coaching selection mechanism more authoritative. This is equivalent to Gao Han endorsing the Football Association's coaching selection.

But Gao Han himself didn't believe that such a process could really select a head coach with excellent coaching ability.

Even if it is really selected, will this head coach be able to lead the Chinese national team to achieve good results?

Coaching is not that simple!

Thinking of this, Gao Han shook his head and let out a long sigh, "Forget it, if you refuse for me, just say that I have been busy running the youth training recently and can't be distracted. I will not participate in the selection of the coach." .”

Gao Han is unwilling to participate in such a controversial incident, which is also a wise move on his part to protect himself.

"Okay, I will reply to you." Xiang Tianming nodded. His reply would definitely be more tactful than Gao Han.

"See you in Europe then."

"See you in Europe!"

At the moment when the video was turned off, Gao Han sighed again and shook his head.
