Section 77: The Commander Comes Out of the Mountain

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 On August 9, 2001, a piece of news that shocked the football world came from Shanghai: Xu Genbao is out of trouble!

Many people say that Xu Genbao's coaching style is rough, he curses people when he opens his mouth, and kicks people when he is angry. Many players he has coached have a bad relationship with him. But in fact, the older generation of football coaches are like this, Li Yingfa, Wang Hongli, Yang Yumin,

Zhang Yin is like this! Not to mention football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis... every one of them counts! At that time, they were implementing militarized management, and corporal punishment was normal. This is different from Chi Shangbin who was born in the 50s, and Chi Shangbin who was born in the 60s.

Gao Hongbo is not of a generation.

But no one can deny Xu Genbao’s coaching ability.

Among China's football coaches, there is only one "Northeast Coach" Li Yingfa who can keep pace with Xu Genbao in terms of achievements and fame. After all, the "ten consecutive championships" achieved by the Liaoning Football Team led by Li Yingfa are unprecedented, and it is difficult for anyone to come after him.

.But the only one who can lead two different teams to win the A championship is Xu Genbao! The only one who can create a unique set of techniques and tactics that adapts to the physical, will, and technical conditions of Chinese players is Xu Genbao.

Therefore, no matter how you evaluate it, Xu Genbao is one of the top coaches in Chinese football in this era! Since Xu Genbao put down his pointer and retired to the mountains and forests, many people expressed regret on their lips, but were very happy in their hearts. Such an old man

The stubborn head is here, not to mention his troublesome coaching ability, but his character of Ding Shi Mao Shi Mao is also unbearable. Around the new century, it was the "black, fake, and gambling" in Chinese football that accumulated enough power.

The eve of a full-scale outbreak! If you don’t believe it, look at the subsequent football crackdown on gangs. In what era were all the crimes committed?

What is even more shocking and enviable is that this old man Xu Genbao is a dead tree. He did not coach in the Chinese League A, but jumped to Germany to coach a foreign team! When has our Chinese coach ever been so proud? Shi

At that time, Lapuna's annual salary in China was 200,000 US dollars, while his successor Qi Wusheng's monthly salary was 200 yuan. The difference between the two was a thousand times! In recent years, foreign teachers have become popular in the Chinese team. The most exaggerated year was

70% of the Class A teams have foreign teachers! It is a consensus in today’s football world that local teachers are not as good as foreign teachers!

How can he, Xu Genbao, be so virtuous... Oh, Xu Genbao is somewhat capable, but why was he chosen by a foreign team? If our local coaches can coach foreign teams, then what do we think of local coaches?

Is it wrong? Should we mention the treatment of local coaches?

Especially the national team. Since you are coaching the national team and you are not qualified, then why do you, a foreign teacher, have an assistant, a bonus, a car when you go out, a hotel with a star rating, and a salary that is a thousand times more than mine?

Really? We all do the same job!

As soon as the news came out, people were excited. Old Xu Tou's mobile phone could not be opened. New friends, old friends, close friends, acquaintances, old leaders, old team members... those who inquired about the situation, expressed congratulations, inquired about the truth, etc.

We were overwhelmed! There was also an old leader who had retired for many years. Hearing the news, he called Xu Genbao’s home on a confidential phone and encouraged him: “Xiao Xu will work hard abroad and show off the prestige of our country”!

Lao Xu put down the phone and looked dazed for a long time. His beard turned white. No one has called me "Xiao Xu" in these years?

Xu Genbao only paid attention to his football school and Tübingen's skills and tactics, and did not expect that this incident would cause such a big public opinion storm.

Zhang Bin and Liu Jianhong from CCTV 5 had no face to speak of in front of Marshal Xu, so they approached Wang Ai.

Because when Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang transferred to Tübingen Youth, Wang Ai had called them and told them the truth, which could be regarded as adding some information to their program. After all, no one else had any clues about many of the truths, and only Wang Ai

Get the full picture.

It's a pity that these two have mediocre influence in the country, and no matter how promising Tubingen's youth is, it is still in the third-tier German league and has little news value, so Zhang Bin briefly mentioned it in the program and gave it to the two.

The players did a five-minute highlight reel and it passed. But even this made Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang so excited. When had they ever received this kind of treatment? When CCTV broadcast the Liaoning Football Team game live, they didn't even get a one-second close-up.

No! When I watch the replay, I have to listen carefully when someone is reporting the player list. I catch up with the host enough time to recite the substitute list smoothly and am happy for a long time when his name is mentioned! But now Xiao Wang can contact both of them with just one phone call.

A great host can mobilize the power of CCTV! As for the Lao Bai family and Lao Luo family who were watching the TV that night, they chased after them with just one phone call and repeatedly warned and urged them. Both of them nodded at what Che Zuluo said.

I developed cervical vertebra hyperplasia. After that, I made a special call to Wang Ai and said a lot of thanks. This was like completely handing over my son to Wang Ai.

In the past, I could only feel Wang Ai's sincerity, but now my son has not gone abroad, and he has not even played a game for others, but they have sent it to you on CCTV! Even though China's current level of commercial value development of players is low,

That's also called social influence, and it sounds nice when you say it! What? My son just went to Germany to play in the amateur league? Did you watch "Football Night" last night? There were highlights of my son's game! How dare you look down on my Haizi

(Liangzi)? Of course, this incident was an unintentional move by Wang Ai, but it also strangled the last bit of luck left by Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang. From now on, they have no choice but to risk their lives.

But after this incident, the two hosts who are very sensitive to news paid attention. This time when they heard that Xu Genbao suddenly returned to the world and was coaching a German team, the news value was a hundred times greater than before.

Times! The two of them were confused at the same time: I’m afraid our Master Wang from Renmin University is responsible for this matter? Otherwise, Xu Genbao has been living in seclusion in the past two years, and no one in the Chinese football world, let alone foreign countries, would mention him.

Everything has a reason. How could a foreigner choose you, an old man who runs a football school, to be the head coach for no reason? So the two of them called Wang Ai's mobile phone to inquire about the situation.

Wang Ai admitted it openly. It just so happened that Lao Xutou had been getting annoyed with the phone calls for the past two days.

Explaining it once means pride, explaining it twice means boredom, explaining it three times means being anxious, explaining it four times means getting hairy, explaining it five times, six times or a hundred times means you should throw your phone away. So Old Xu Tou said it on the second night of "Football Day".

I accepted a phone interview with two people on "Night", which satisfied the curiosity of people in the national football community.

This incident has a profound impact on Chinese football and is a landmark event for Chinese football! It forces the Chinese football community to re-examine the worship of foreign religions and the inevitable "discrimination" against local religions.

, helping Chinese local coaches get more coaching opportunities faster. A few years later, many younger generation coaches will sincerely thank Xu Genbao when they meet them, saying that if you hadn’t come out and stood up for our local coaches,

, we can’t tell when we will have a chance to make a difference, and we can’t even say whether we will make a difference! This incident has been written down in the memoirs of many local Chinese coaches: “In August 2001, the famous local coach Xu Genbao

When the news came out that I was going to coach in Germany, my originally dark coaching future suddenly became clear..."
