Hong Renjie told Dong Jianhai the inside information he had just obtained.
Dong Jianhai, who was studying the formation of troops, waved his hands without raising his head: "Then I'm relieved. Originally, this head coach position should also belong to someone else."
“You can’t say that, Old Dong. You are not temporarily transitioning...”
“To put it nicely, I am connecting the past and the following.” Dong Jianhai raised his head and smiled at Hong Renjie.
Hong Renjie was choked to the point of being speechless.
As a link between the past and the next, isn’t it a transitional thing to say it sounds ugly?
He could only change the subject: "Will we continue to play with three defenders in the next game against Iran?"
But Dong Jianhai shook his head: "No, Yao Hua can't be promoted. We only have three central defenders left in total, and we can't play a three-back system. I have to keep people just in case. The next game will still be 433, and then we will find out more details during the game.
look……"
Hong Renjie nodded and had no objection. Through the last game, it can be seen that Dong Jianhai still has two skills in on-the-spot command. There is no need for him to express any opinions in this regard.
Looking at Dong Jianhai who was back into research, Hong Renjie chose to leave.
Dong Jianhai just nodded and did not get up to see him off.
After coming out of the head coach's room and closing the door, Hong Renjie looked back at the door again.
According to the information he knows, there should be no surprises in Dillon's signing with the Football Association.
As soon as the Asian Cup is over, the Chinese Football Association will officially announce that Jorge Dillon will become the new coach of the national team.
I don’t know how the fans and the media will evaluate Dong Jianhai, the national football coach who connects the past and the future...
Since becoming the leader of the national team, Hong Renjie has worked with three head coaches, from the original Marcel Wilson, to the most successful Shi Wuyin, to the controversial Dong Jianhai... Dong Jianhai has the shortest cooperation time.
But it left an equally deep impression on him.
Especially in the match against the Japanese team, when he replaced Bai Di with Zhou Zijing, Hong Renjie’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest when he saw this substitution on the sidelines.
He suppressed the worries and doubts in his heart and did not disturb Dong Jianhai during the game and ask him why he removed a defender and replaced him with a center when the team needed defense.
Of course, he later understood that Dong Jianhai wanted to fight the Japanese team desperately.
As a result, he could not understand Dong Jianhai even more.
Because this is not the adjustment style that Dong Jianhai should make at all.
Not only was it the substitution, but before the game started, Hong Renjie felt that Dong Jianhai was a bit confusing to him.
Now he finally understands that maybe from that time on, Dong Jianhai had already made up his mind not to continue to be the national team coach.
There's just one thing he still hasn't figured out: Did Dong Jianhai's decision really come out as he said, because he felt he was not capable enough, or was he frustrated by public criticism?
He further expanded his imagination:
If Dong Jianhai leads the Chinese team to win the Asian Cup, what will the scene be like online?
※※※
The reality did not develop according to Hong Renjie’s imagination.
The Chinese team, which played the familiar 433 formation against Iran, did not play the same football they played against Japan.
Facing the Iranian team with better physical conditions, the Chinese team did not take any advantage and was eliminated with a score of 1:2.
Hu Lai scored the only goal for the Chinese team, bringing his number of goals in this Asian Cup to seven, and he has great hope of winning the Asian Cup Golden Boot.
But in an interview after the game, Hu Lai did not want to talk about the Golden Boot: "I don't care whether I can win the Golden Boot. Compared with this, I hope we can go further in the Asian Cup..."
In this Asian Cup, the overall performance of the Chinese team, which had high hopes before the game, was not very good. It stopped at the top eight and failed to achieve the goal of the top four before the game.
The 3:1 victory over Japan was their only highlight in this Asian Cup.
It can be said that without this game, the Chinese team’s Asian Cup trip would have been a huge failure.
At the post-match press conference, facing reporters who were concerned about his future, Dong Jianhai announced his decision:
"... The contract period we negotiated before was after the Asian Cup. My contract will expire after the Asian Cup, and I will no longer be the head coach of the national team... It is a pity that the Chinese team failed to reach the fourth place in the Asian Cup.
Strong, all the responsibilities rest with me as the head coach... We all tried our best, but the performance was still not good enough because of my lack of personal ability. So I accept the criticism of me from the fans... Although it is not
I am no longer the head coach of the national team, but I will always support the Chinese team..."
After the Chinese team lost 0:2 to Iraq, many Chinese fans wished that the Football Association would fire Dong Jianhai immediately instead of not renewing his contract after the Asian Cup.
Because they feel that this is not enough for the public to be angry. If the Asian Cup is over, the Chinese team will be finished. Burying Zhu Shuai with one Asian Cup is too high a price...
At that time, they imagined many scenarios for Dong Jianhai to leave the Chinese team, but they never imagined that the final result would be that Dong Jianhai took the initiative to declare not to renew his contract.
This is very different from their initial expectations, but now it makes them very reluctant to let go.
After the Chinese team was eliminated by the Iranian team, some fans on the Internet expressed their hope to retain Dong Jianhai. They believed that he was getting better as the head coach of the Chinese team, and he should be given more time and trust to lead the team.
Team.
After all, there is still some time before the World Cup qualifiers. The top 40 will not start until September this year. There are still eight months, enough for Dong Jianhai to establish a tactical system of his own, right?
Judging from the game against the Japanese team, Dong Jianhai has his own ideas. He is by no means the kind of coach who has no ideas in his mind and only knows how to be conservative and imitate. Perhaps the criticism of him on the Internet is a misunderstanding...
※※※
"Actually, Dong Jianhai is quite honest, but the public opinion on the Internet is like this. Sometimes he scolds you for being an eighteenth generation ancestor, and sometimes he praises you. They are all the same, and they don't care what you are like in real life." Hu Lixin responded to this news.
His wife said.
"He made it very clear that he cannot continue coaching because of his lack of personal ability. I don't think this is an excuse. Generally speaking, when he makes excuses, he uses 'physical reasons', 'family reasons'... No.
Make excuses like lack of ability."
“But he obviously performed very well against Japan...”
"Just that one game, who hasn't had a classic game in his entire coaching life?" Hu Lixin said with emotion, "You always ask me why I don't take a more advanced coaching certificate and coach a professional team... How can a head coach be so easy to do?
Ah. I think it’s good to be a grassroots coach teaching children to play football, and it’s not that stressful.”
Xie Lan thought about his previous teasing of Dong Jianhai, as well as the criticism, ridicule and abuse on the Internet, opened his mouth, and finally was speechless.
It is estimated that her husband really became the head coach of a professional team. If he did not play well in a game, he would be scolded with all kinds of unpleasant words...
Although she is not afraid of fighting with others, if she fights with others every day, she is afraid that her life will be shortened by ten years.
She just couldn't bear it.
Her son hasn’t gotten married yet, and she hasn’t had grandchildren yet, so how could she give up ten years of life?
“Then who will replace him?” she asked her husband again. “We can’t let Shi Wuyuan come out again, right?”
"I don't know..." Hu Lixin shook his head. He really didn't know either.
After Dong Jianhai proposed not to renew his contract, there has been no response from the Football Association.
It wasn't until an hour later that the Chinese team's official Weibo posted a message saying goodbye to Dong Jianhai and thanked him for his contribution in leading the team for the past six months. It also included a picture of him directing the game from the sidelines when the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team 3:1.
photo.
Obviously, this is the officially certified highlight moment of Dong Jianhai’s national team coaching career.
Subsequently, the Chinese team once again issued an official announcement on Weibo that the former coach of Dashun Golden Arrow, a world-famous coach who once led La Liga giants Madrid Kings and Italian giants Torino Bulls to win the Champions League respectively, will become the head coach of the Chinese national team.
coach.
The contract signed with him by the Football Association will expire on July 30, 2030. By that time, the 2030 World Cup in Spain and Portugal has already ended.
This date means that Dillon will lead the Chinese team in the World Cup qualifiers. If he can lead this team to the World Cup finals, then he will also be the candidate to lead the team in the World Cup.
※※※
After it was officially announced that Dillon would succeed Dong Jianhai and coach the Chinese team, the focus of public opinion on the Internet quickly shifted from feeling sorry for Dong Jianhai to looking forward to the performance of the Chinese team coached by the famous coach Dillon in the World Cup qualifiers.
What performance.
After the Football Association and Dillon failed to reach an agreement, there were many rumors on the Internet about why Dillon did not coach the Chinese team.
The most important point among those rumors is that Dillon believes that the Asian Cup should be abandoned, allowing overseas players to adapt to the European football environment, and not rushing to recall them to play in the Asian Cup.
In this case, the Chinese team may not be able to achieve good results in the Asian Cup, and it will also delay the players' overseas careers.
At that time, it was rumored that Dillon's views caused a lot of controversy on the Internet. Many fans held different opinions and criticized Dillon's actions. It was said that strong teams such as Japan and South Korea had recalled overseas players in order to finally
With a strong lineup to participate in the Asian Cup, why can’t the Chinese team recall overseas players? Is the Chinese team not worthy of competing for the Asian Cup?
And now the facts have proved that the famous marshal is indeed a famous marshal, and he has seen the problem a long time ago. His views are also to the point.
In this Asian Cup, even if all overseas players were recalled, the Chinese team could not achieve any good results in the Asian Cup.
The Chinese team in the last Asian Cup also stopped in the quarterfinals and was eliminated by the host South Korea when the eight advanced to the fourth.
At this Asian Cup, the Chinese team is still in the quarterfinals.
So why else would the Football Association set its target at the semi-finals before the Asian Cup?
Because this year’s Chinese team has many more overseas players, it stands to reason that its strength on paper has greatly increased. So if the goal is still the same as that of the last year, how can we reflect the changes in our strength?
Besides, we were the semi-finals in the last Asian Cup. At that time, we didn’t have any overseas players!
In the end, it was still the top eight... The performance of the returning overseas players is hard to describe. Some performed well, while others performed mediocre.
Dillon’s rumored view turned out to be correct.
Isn’t it normal that for such a famous coach who has seen the problems of the team, everyone has more expectations for his performance in leading the team?
There are still three years from now to the next World Cup. The Chinese team should be fine in the top 40, and the qualifying rounds actually start from the top 12.
There are still two and a half years until the top 12.
This period of time is enough for our overseas players to adapt to Europe and grow up, right?
At that time, if we can reach the World Cup finals, what results can we achieve in the World Cup?
