Chapter 101: Suggestions for the new coach of the national team
The weather in Moscow in November is already very cold. The average temperature is in the single digits, which is still relatively small, and it is often below zero.
Lin Supo had just bought a woolen coat, and his second uncle brought him two leather jackets from China.
These days, leather jackets are not Pew, they are real leather, and they are both good things. If you bring this to Moscow, you can buy it ten times more than in China!
In the next game against Chernomory, Lin Supo still watched from the sidelines. Fortunately, it was a home game.
At Dynamo's home court, Spartak's performance was mediocre as expected, and they actually tied with their opponent.
Uncommonly, Lin Supo caught a cold.
Even before time travel, he hadn't had a cold for a long time.
Romantsev waved his hand and told him that he did not need to participate in training and asked him to take good care of his body.
It's also interesting to say that other players use all kinds of excuses to be lazy, but when Lin Supo comes here, the coach wants him to do less.
After playing Tetris in the dormitory for a while, Lin Supo felt bored.
There are too few entertainment items now, and he is not very interested in Russian TV. There are huge cultural differences between the two countries, which he can understand, but many times he does not find it interesting.
Just when he was bored, he received a call from China.
"Hello, Comrade Lin Supo."
"Hello, who are you?"
Lin Supo was very confused. The other party's tone was very polite, but calling him comrade seemed more formal.
"I'm Huang Lin from the General Administration of Sports. I'm calling you today because of the selection of the national team's coach."
"Oh, hello."
Lin Supo immediately became serious when he heard this.
For a long time, the outside world has been describing the Chinese football management department as "one team, two brands." That is, externally it is a non-governmental association like the Chinese Football Association, and internally it is a government like the China Football Management Center.
Department, affiliated to the State Sports General Administration.
It can be said that the person looking for him now is the boss of the Football Management Center.
"It's like this. After Qi Wusheng finishes class, the national team will have no coach for the time being. We have discussed the choice of local coach and foreign coach many times. Generally speaking, there are people supporting both sides, so I want to hear your opinion."
Lin Supo smiled and said: "Director Huang, look at this, I am 17 years old and not yet 18 years old. As the old saying goes, if you have a hairless mouth, you will not be able to do things well. How can I participate in such a big thing?
"
"Don't say that, Comrade Xiaolin, Han Yu also wrote, 'There is no high or low, no long or short, where the Tao exists, there is the teacher.' There is no order of learning, the master comes first. Your football strength is obvious to all.
, so I want to hear your opinion, don’t be nervous, your words may not necessarily play a decisive role, we still have to discuss it again."
After hearing what the other party said, although Lin Supo had never seen the other party, he immediately imagined a gentle, middle-aged man wearing glasses and a Chinese tunic suit.
Just by talking, you can see the cultural quality of the other person. The key is to be very cautious. Your words will be flawless and will make you feel relaxed at the same time. You will subconsciously ignore the other person's identity.
"If I had to choose, I would definitely choose Yang Shuai. The gap between the advanced techniques and tactics of Chinese football and world football is not even a tiny bit, but how to ensure that Yang Shuai can work wholeheartedly for the national football team instead of cheating money is also a problem.
.”
"Yeah, you're right. We are also worried about this. Are there any good candidates?"
Lin Supo thought for a moment and said: "There are definitely good candidates. First of all, Kenny Dalglish, the meritorious coach of Blackburn whom we just defeated, has no doubt about his ability, but can we hire him?"
He is a problem. There is also Rehhagel, the meritorious coach of Werder Bremen. He is now coaching Bayern Munich. This coach is particularly good at building lineups and likes to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. He can arrange tactics according to the characteristics of the team. He is at Bayern Munich.
The situation in Munich is not very good. It is estimated that he will be dismissed at the end of the season, but whether he can be persuaded is also a problem. A capable coach is not willing to coach the national team, and the impression of Chinese football is not very good. I think it is a bit difficult.
.”
"Yes, we also have concerns in this regard, so we tend to hire a coach with a less glorious resume."
Lin Supo thought of the so-called coaches and leaders of the national football team and quickly said: "You can try hiring Horton, Bob Horton. He has very rich coaching experience."
Speaking of Horton, all Chinese football fans will be familiar with it.
However, Lin Supo remembered another person. If he could be hired, it would be very interesting. Moreover, he is very free now, so there would be no problem in coaching the national team.
"I have heard of a man who has great ideas. Although he is very young, he is deeply trusted and reused by Sir Bobby Robson, who is famous in football. He has been serving as his assistant. His name is José Mourinho.
, he is a very capable Portuguese man with personality, if you want to contact him and give him enough respect, it will impress him more than giving him generous remuneration."
"It sounds like you admire this young man very much. We will find some information to discuss."
"Okay, if it doesn't matter, just leave it as it is. I will visit you in person when I have the chance to return home."
"Okay, goodbye Xiaolin."
Although several people suggested it, Lin Supo didn't have much hope.
It goes without saying that Dalglish and Rehhagel are capable, but there is really nothing to attract them in the national football team. Moreover, most coaches don’t like coaching the national team. There are too few games for the national team, which cannot give them a sufficient sense of achievement.
He chooses to coach the national team only after his energy has declined or he has been exhausted for a long time.
Moreover, capable coaches who coach the national team will choose stronger teams.
The national football team cannot be said to be bad. At least it is still ranked around 50 in the world, with the highest being more than 40 and the lowest being more than 70. However, it is still worse than European teams.
As for Mourinho, the opponent should really want to coach a team to prove himself and try it out by the way. However, when screening resumes in China, young people like Mourinho who have never been alone should have little chance.
Lin Supo looks quite like watching Mourinho become the national football coach. It will definitely be interesting then.
Another point is that Mourinho's name is José Mourinho instead of Jose Mourinho. Lin Supo also heard it said by a Russian who spoke Portuguese once.
In Spain, the J in the first letter of the name will sound like He or He, such as Jesus.
In Portuguese, the J in the first letter is the sound of heat or if, and the same name will become Jesus.
How to pronounce the name mainly depends on the opponent's native language. Portuguese-speaking players have different pronunciation than Spanish-speaking players.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Supo thought that Horton might have come to coach the national team in advance.
