Everyone in the media is talking about Lazio's unbeaten streak and winning streak.
But Chang Sheng is still not interested in this.
His eyes are set on the Coppa Italia quarter-finals and the Asian Cup.
After the game against Bologna, the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup in Qatar also kicked off.
The Chinese team was unfortunately placed with the Japanese team in the quarter-final draw.
The difference in strength between the two sides is too big, so after the result of the draw came out, many calm people thought that the Chinese team was destined to lose this time.
Although there are many fans with high patriotic sentiments shouting to kill little Japan, football games cannot be won by patriotic enthusiasm alone...
To be honest, the Chinese team played very tenaciously in this game.
Twelve minutes into the game, they scored and took the lead.
This start greatly exceeded many people's expectations.
But then Japan's star player Shinji Kagawa, who plays for Dortmund, equalized the score.
In this game, the Chinese team used Gao Hongbo's tactics to the fullest, which actually gave the Japanese team a headache.
Neither side scored a goal in the first half.
Entered the halftime break with a score of 1:1.
Chang Sheng also watched this game in front of the TV.
No matter what he has to do or how busy he is, he will definitely watch the Chinese team's games.
He is a fan of Chinese football. He likes Chinese football. This love has nothing to do with who is the leader of the Chinese Football Association or what the Chinese sports system is. It is just because he likes football and is a Chinese, so he likes and supports it.
Chinese team.
It's that simple. In his heart, the Chinese team can represent him.
He would like to see Chinese football get better. Even if this kind of improvement ends up being plucked by the Football Association, it is still a good thing.
Just like people always say that the Chinese team entered the World Cup in Japan and South Korea and the Chinese women's football team was brilliant, these have all served as a fig leaf for the Football Association. But don't such achievements bring even a trace of joy to the fans?
As long as the fans are happy, isn't that enough?
The Football Association uses it as a fig leaf or something, which is beyond the control of ordinary fans.
But at least they can feel happy and get what they need.
In fact, it is almost impossible not to let the Football Association use it as a fig leaf for itself. The Football Association of any country will regard the performance of the national team as its own merit. The performance of the national team during his leadership is good, and that is his performance.
This is understandable.
Chang Sheng is very open-minded about this. He does not think that Chinese football should let the Football Association get out of the way completely. That would make it impossible to play.
The Football Association does whatever they want, he just wants to enjoy the victory of the national football team.
※ ※ ※
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, but the team that scored first was still the Chinese team!
In the 63rd minute, the Chinese team took the lead again.
But just like the first half, it didn't take long for the Japanese team to equalize the score again, and the scorer was Shinji Kagawa.
Then Gao Hongbo began to recover the defense, and they used ball possession tactics to defend.
Dealing with the Japanese team.
The game lasted until the 89th minute when the deadlock was finally broken.
The Japanese team scored a goal at the last minute by Masahiko Inoami, and finally beat the Chinese team 3:2.
The Chinese team was eliminated.
When he saw this result, Chang Sheng sat on the sofa and sighed.
If it had not encountered the Japanese team, the Chinese team might have gone further.
Today's Japanese team is too powerful, far beyond what the Chinese team can compete with... In fact, Japanese football has become a bit beyond Asian football. Their strength far exceeds other Asian teams, whether in East Asia
It's still from West Asia.
And what about Chinese football? It’s still lingering.
With such a comparison of strength, it is indeed difficult for the Chinese team to defeat the Japanese team in this kind of game.
So I won so often that I didn’t get angry because the Chinese team lost to the Japanese team. It is normal for the Chinese team to fail to beat the Japanese team.
The important thing is to see the progress of Chinese football here.
When facing the powerful enemy Japanese team, the Chinese team performed neither humble nor overbearing, very calm, and even took the lead twice in the game.
Was this kind of performance something everyone could have imagined before going to the Asian Cup?
No.
But the Chinese team did it.
This is progress.
At a time when Chinese football has fallen into a dark trough, it is remarkable that such progress can be made.
Chang Sheng saw his own role in this.
This shows that his method is effective.
Then we can continue to cooperate like this in the future.
※ ※ ※
They reached the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup. They were eliminated by the Japanese team in the end, but their performance was very good. Chang Sheng felt that with his help, Gao Hongbo's coaching position should be considered stable. He would not need to see the second-rate Camacho.
The coach has come to coach the Chinese team.
But what he didn't expect was that he still received a call from the Chinese Football Association.
Moreover, the Football Association called and invited him to coach the Chinese team!
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment when he heard the call. He thought he was wearing his clothes again...
"Am I the head coach of the national team?"
"Yes, it's like this... We are recently discussing cooperation with Wanda Group. They hope to find a world-class coach for the Chinese national team. In terms of personal treatment, Wanda Group will also fully support it, so there is no need to worry about money.
question……"
Chang Sheng interrupted the other party: "A world-class coach?"
"Yes, Wanda Group believes that only world-class coaches can bring changes to the Chinese team..."
Chang Sheng interrupted the other party again.
He knew very well what Wanda Group was thinking because he came from time travel.
This kind of thing does not need to be repeated through the Football Association's loudspeaker.
Of course he wanted to refuse directly, but when he thought about it, if he refused so simply and rudely, there was no guarantee that Wanda and the Football Association would not continue to look for famous coaches, and then went around in a circle and found Camacho again...
…That’s definitely not what I want to see.
So he thought about it, and I'm afraid he still had to explain this matter clearly to the Football Association and Wanda people.
He knows that the Football Association and Wanda both worship foreigners.
But there are some things that must be said. I don’t know whether others’ words will work or not.
Since both Wanda and the Football Association are willing to come to me for coaching, it means that what I say may still have some energy, right?
But on the phone, it's even more inconvenient to pass it back and forth.
So Chang Sheng did not refuse directly, but told the other party: "If you can come to Rome, we will have an interview."
When the Football Association heard that Chang Sheng took the initiative to invite him for an interview, that's great!
It's better to have a face-to-face interview than to have it passed around on the phone.
So the Football Association quickly called Chang Sheng again and told him that the leaders of the Football Association and the person in charge of Wanda Group would fly to Rome from China in the near future to have an interview with him.
※ ※ ※
In just two days, Chang Sheng met representatives from both sides in Rome.
The Chinese Football Association still attaches great importance to him. The person who came was actually the full-time vice chairman Vidi, and the person who came from Wanda Group was Wang Jianlin’s son. Wang Qiang is also a director of Wanda Group.
This specification is quite high.
It also fully demonstrates that the Football Association and Wanda Group attach great importance to this matter.
As for Chang Sheng, he saw what he was worried about from this specification.
The Football Association and Wanda attach great importance to this kind of coaching selection. This further illustrates their determination.
It seems that he was right to insist on an interview, because only when face to face can he convince the other party.
The three parties sat down in an Italian restaurant near Chang Sheng's home.
According to Chinese custom, all discussions must be done at the dinner table.
This time is no exception.
Changsheng is the host to entertain guests.
The other side happily accepted it.
The atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.
Everyone did not go straight to the topic at the beginning, but first exchanged greetings. They chatted about the weather, Italian food, Lazio's recent results, and the results of the FIFA Ballon d'Or that had just ended.
.
Vidi also criticized FIFA - anyway, there is no cost to say this kind of thing, it doesn't matter, as long as it can win a new one.
Chang Sheng smiled.
Is this considered pleasing to oneself?
But it's a pity that I have to reject their kindness next.
Everyone was chatting aimlessly.
Chang Sheng could see that there was some anxiety in Vidi's eyes. He must be anxious to talk about this matter...
Chang Sheng pretended not to notice and continued to talk nonsense with them.
It wasn't until halfway through the meal that he put down his knife and fork temporarily, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then put the napkin aside.
Seeing his action, the spirits of the two people opposite him were lifted.
They knew that business was about to come, so they put down their knives and forks and looked at Chang Sheng seriously, waiting for him to speak.
Sure enough, Chang Sheng opened his mouth and said: "I am honored to receive the invitation to coach the Chinese national team. Being able to do something for Chinese football has always been what I hope for, just like I did when the Chinese team was training for the Asian Cup.
Do the same things..."
Vidi nodded: "Yes, no one will doubt your feelings for Chinese football."
Wang Qiang also nodded.
Chang Sheng continued: "I hope that Chinese football will be good from the bottom of my heart. I not only say this to you, but I also said this to Gao Hongbo. Therefore, just because I hope that Chinese football will be good, I cannot accept your words."
invite."
The two people opposite were smiling, waiting for Chang Sheng to continue talking.
But now when they reacted, the smiles on their faces froze.
Then they looked at each other in surprise.
Did I hear correctly just now?
Chang Sheng rejected us?!
Vidi turned back and looked at Chang Sheng: "Um, I didn't hear you clearly just now, could you..."
Chang Sheng repeated what he said: "I said, I cannot accept your invitation and I will not coach the Chinese national team."
This time Wei Di and Wang Qiang were both sure that they had heard wrongly, that’s what people always say: “People always win!”
He rejected the invitation outright!
