"Won't you renew your contract with the national team?"
Hong Renjie was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses. He understood what Dong Jianhai was talking about, and he quickly advised: "Don't listen to the nonsense of those people on the Internet. In fact, the Football Association is satisfied with your work..."
Dong Jianhai waved his hand to signal Hong Renjie not to continue talking:
"Actually, I know it myself, and I think the fans on the Internet are right. I made the decision not to renew my contract after careful consideration. I am indeed not suitable to lead this team."
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you doing a good job? I feel like you're getting better, old Dong." When Hong Renjie said this, he patted Dong Jianhai on the shoulder to encourage him. "Look at this.
In this game against the Japanese team, how well you adjusted your substitutions... Now everyone on the Internet is praising you!"
Dong Jianhai shook his head: "One game cannot explain anything. It is impossible to expect that this one game will allow the Chinese team to enter the World Cup, right?"
"One game cannot allow the Chinese team to enter the World Cup, but it does not mean that it cannot explain anything. Use the things in this game as a basis and make some changes..."
When Hong Renjie said this, Dong Jianhai never stopped shaking his head.
After he finished speaking, Dong Jianhai said in a very sincere tone: "Lao Hong, don't think that I have any other ideas. I really think that I am not the best person to lead this team. My ability is just
So little... So I think it would be good for everyone if we break up after the Asian Cup. Otherwise, if I continue to lead the team and lose in the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team will have no chance of qualifying. Then I will
Became the eternal sinner of Chinese football..."
"That's an exaggeration, Old Dong."
"Well, it is indeed an exaggeration." Dong Jianhai nodded, "The Football Association will not wait until I really bring the Chinese team over before firing me."
"..." Hong Renjie was speechless.
When Dong Jianhai saw the opponent's depressed look, he laughed: "I'm serious. I don't have the confidence to lead this team to the World Cup in three years' time. Don't make things difficult for me...Being able to defeat Japan is all I have to do."
It’s the result of all your efforts, and you also have to be lucky. I think it’s good to end here. At least I can have a good reputation..."
Although Dong Jianhai said these words with a smile, Hong Renjie felt firmness in his tone.
Obviously the other party didn't just say it casually, it was indeed the result of careful consideration...
So Hong Renjie's good mood after defeating the Japanese team suddenly disappeared.
He thought he didn't have to worry about being the national football coach, but in the end his work was in vain...
Hong Renjie let out a long sigh.
When Dong Jianhai heard him sigh, he comforted him in turn: "Don't sigh, Lao Hong. If you work harder now, you will be scolded less in the future. Really, you believe me."
After saying that, he turned around and left, going back to the restaurant to eat.
Hong Renjie did not go back with him, but just stood there in a daze.
Then he took out his mobile phone, looked at the messages on Weibo calling on the Football Association to renew Dong Jianhai's contract as soon as possible, and smiled bitterly.

In the head coach's office, Yu Jintao met Dillon again.
When the latter saw him, he said to Jin Tao with an exaggerated expression of surprise: "Yu, just half an hour ago, I received a call from my agent. Your Football Association actually contacted him. Are they crazy?
After leading the team to such a beautiful game, are you still dissatisfied with Dong?"
Yu Jintao was also surprised.
But before he could think of what to say, the office door behind him was pushed open again, and Xue Chaoyu, the general manager of the club, walked in.
Seeing that Yu Jintao was there, he nodded to him: "You happen to be here, Lao Yu, have you heard about it?"
"I just came here too..." Yu Jintao said.
"It's okay, come and translate for me." Xue Chaoyu said and walked up to Jorge Dillon.
"Jorge, the club received a call from the Football Association and they hope you can coach the national team."
Yu Jintao quickly digested the news in his mind and then translated it.
Dillon shrugged: "My agent also received a call from them. It seems that your Football Association is a little anxious? But I don't understand. Dong Mingming did a good job in the national team. He just led the team to defeat the Japanese team. I
I heard that you haven’t defeated Japan in almost thirty years..."
He said a lot, but Yu Jintao translated it and said just one sentence: "Dillon's agent also received a call from the Football Association. He was very confused."
Xue Chaoyu nodded: "I don't understand either, but what's the point? The Football Association means that it hopes the club can cooperate... Oh, there is no need to translate this sentence to him. Just ask Dillon what he thinks, we
The club respects his personal opinion, and if he doesn't want to go, we will never force him - you must translate this last sentence to him."
Dillon shrugged after listening to Yu Jintao's translation: "I can't reply now because I need to understand the Football Association's thoughts first..."
"Didn't they talk about this on the phone with your agent?" Yu Jintao asked first, and then conveyed Dillon's answer to Xue Chaoyu.
"They just said they were willing to talk. My agent didn't discuss the issue in depth with them on the phone."
"But I think there is nothing left to talk about, Jorge." Yu Jintao said to Dillon. "The biggest difference between you two was how to treat the Asian Cup. But now Dong Jianhai has led the team to the Asian Cup, so there is no relationship between you.
The differences no longer exist.”
"Do you think I should accept it?" Dillon asked him.
"Don't you already regard yourself as the coach of the national team?"
"How is that possible?" Dillon laughed, feeling that his translation was a bit ridiculous.
"Why else would you pay so much attention to the national team's games? And when you were watching the game yesterday, you talked so much that I really thought you were considering the issue from the perspective of the national team coach." Yu Jintao was very worried.
Answered seriously.
Dillon was stunned for a moment when he said this, and then he smiled again: "Hey, you are right, maybe I have been longing to coach those lovely young people in my heart..."
Then he turned to Xue Chaoyu, who was waiting patiently beside him: "Manager Xue, I'm sorry, I can't fulfill my contract with the club."
Xue Chaoyu turned to look at Yu Jintao, who told him: "Dilon wants to coach the national team."
Hearing this, he sighed softly: "Alas..."
He was very sorry, but there was nothing he could do. This was the will of the country.
Generally speaking, if the Football Association wants to hire someone to be the head coach, it only needs to contact that person. Why does it have to say hello to the club this time?
The implication is not to say "I hope the club will cooperate in releasing the person and not set up artificial obstacles."
Although Jorge Dillon has a contract with the Dashun Golden Arrow Club, if Dillon must leave, they can't stop him. They just need Dillon to pay liquidated damages.
The purpose of the Football Association's call may be to hope that the club will not embarrass Dillon in terms of liquidated damages, which will eventually prevent him from joining the national team.
It's just that he didn't directly say, "You negotiate to terminate the contract, so don't ask for liquidated damages"...
Of course, this kind of thing should never be said out loud. After all, some superficial skills still have to be put in place and cannot be translated into reality.
But as a club general manager with a high level of awareness, how could Xue Chaoyu not know the ropes?
No matter how reluctant he is, he can only say that the club will cooperate, but he still has to respect Dillon's opinion.
The implication is that if foreigners don’t give you face from the Football Association, then you can’t blame our club...
He hoped that Dillon could refuse the Football Association.
Dillon has done a good job at Golden Arrow in recent years. Under his leadership, although Golden Arrow did not win the championship, the age structure of the first team has been greatly improved, and the team's performance has also stabilized in the top five in the league.
name.
Xue Chaoyu had a hunch. He believed that as long as the old coach was given some more time, Golden Arrow would definitely be able to return to its peak.
And the peak at that time will be a real peak, not an illusory bubble that will start to decline after one season.
Even if Dillon no longer continues to coach, the team can still develop healthily.
Now, before the harvest time comes, Dillon is about to leave... How can Xue Chaoyu give up?
This old man...when we approached him, didn't he say he agreed to us because he wanted to find an easy job? He also said that Golden Arrow would be the last team he led in his career...
Going to coach the Chinese team now, what kind of “easy job” is that?
"The club respects your personal wishes, Mr. Dillon. We will contact your agent directly regarding the subsequent termination of the contract."
Dillon nodded: "I'm sorry, Manager Xue. I hope you can find a successor as soon as possible... I also have some friends in Europe. If you are willing, I can help you matchmaking..."
"Thank you, Mr. Dillon. If we need it, we will definitely ask you for help."
After saying that, Xue Chaoyu simply turned around and left.
After knowing Dillon's attitude, he had nothing to say. He really wanted to start the coaching process immediately.
Dillon's successor is not easy to find...
It was enough to give him a headache.
The new Chinese Super League season is about to start in one month, and now there is a temporary coaching change. The team's performance this season is destined to not be much better.
It seems that the club has to re-set its goals for the new season...
After seeing off Xue Chaoyu, Yu Jintao and Dilong returned to the office. The latter put his arm around his shoulders: "You will go to the national team with me, right, Yu?"
Yu Jintao grinned: "Of course, Jorge, I also want to go to the national team!"
"That's great! With you here, I feel more at ease!" Dilong happily squeezed Yu Jintao's shoulders, then let go and walked around the office. Although he is almost seventy years old,
But he was as happy as a child.
After the initial excitement, Dillon quickly calmed down, frowned and asked: "The only question is, Dong is doing well in the national team, why does the Football Association still want to find me? Are they not satisfied with Dong's results in the Asian Cup?"
But that has to wait until the Asian Cup is over. Or maybe... they think the Chinese team will definitely not be able to beat Iran?"
He said to himself.
Yu Jintao next to him shook his head: "I don't know. If you are really curious, you can ask the Football Association directly."
