In this way, Gao Hongbo started working in the Lazio coaching staff as a "guest coach".
At noon that day, Chang Sheng introduced Gao Hongbo to his colleagues.
The introduction he used was: "China's most promising young head coach." This identity made Gao Hongbo a little embarrassed.
Compared with Chang Sheng, what kind of future do I have?
Chang Sheng told his colleagues on the coaching staff that Gao Hongbo is here to learn, so if he has any questions, everyone should try their best to answer his questions. At the same time, he also asked Gao Hongbo to ask questions if he didn’t understand something. Here,
Nothing to be embarrassed about.
Since you are here to learn, you must learn thoroughly and not only half-understand it.
He also told Gao Hongbo his home address. If communication on the phone was inconvenient, he could come to Chang Sheng's home to communicate at any time.
During training in the afternoon, Chang Sheng introduced Gao Hongbo to the players again and told them that from now on, this Chinese coach with yellow skin and black hair like him would also be a member of the Lazio coaching staff.
However, due to status issues, Gao Hongbo is not qualified to sit on the coaching bench during the game.
However, Chang Sheng arranged for him a home seat closest to the coaching bench.
This way he can observe the game from a head coach's perspective.
At the same time, maybe he can hear the voices on the coaching bench, which will also help him learn how to direct on the spot.
Gao Hongbo couldn't be more satisfied with Chang Sheng's arrangement.
Compared with his previous plan, now is the best result.
He can truly enter this coaching team and learn the most advanced training and tactics in Europe.
He is now more confident about his future.
He knows that he is pressed for time and there is not much time left for him and Chinese football.
So he will work and study day and night.
It's like a sapling, frantically absorbing nutrients.
As for Chang Sheng, he seemed to see the shadow of his "brother" in Gao Hongbo, who was studying like crazy.
He thought that his "brother" might have been like this when he traveled to Europe at his own expense. However, he was not as lucky as Gao Hongbo and had his own help.
He endured countless stares before he finally achieved his results.
Fortunately, his current results did not embarrass him...
It's just... when he left China and came to Europe to study, was he like Gao Hongbo, filled with the ideal of returning to serve the motherland after completing his studies?

The media also quickly discovered that Lazio's coaching staff had a Chinese member like Chang Sheng.
But they are not very interested. Among the coaching staff, they are only interested in winning.
The exception is the Chinese media.
The few Chinese reporters recognized it at a glance. The Chinese coach who appeared at the Lazio Vermelo training ground was... Gao Hongbo!
Gao Hongbo is also considered a celebrity in Chinese football circles.
This is true when you are a striker, and it is also true when you are a coach.
He once led Changchun Yatai to win the Chinese Super League championship in 2007. This is the fourth team to win the top league championship since Chinese football became professional!
Moreover, Changchun Yatai is not a traditional strong team like Dalian, Shandong and Shanghai. It is even more difficult for them to win the league championship.
Gao Hongbo deserves a lot of credit for this achievement.
At that time, Gao Hongbo was also elected as the best coach of the Chinese Super League.
However, in the 2008 season, due to the suitability of the general, he was forced out of class by the team. Then he disappeared from the public eye and focused on taking care of his children and resting at home.
Faced with other coaching invitations, he did not agree.
No one knows what he wants to do.
Unexpectedly, he would appear here and become the coach of Lazio!
Is it an invitation from Chang Sheng?
After the training, Gao Hongbo was surrounded by Chinese reporters: "Director Gao, why are you here?"
Everyone still calls him as he is called in China.
And Gao Hongbo also wanted to call reporters "teacher" when he was in China.
"Ah, Teacher Chen, you have come to Italy too? I came to Lazio to study." Gao Hongbo said with a smile.
"Study?" A group of reporters were surprised. What does the best coach in the Chinese Super League study?
"After class in Changchun, I realized that I still had many shortcomings, so I decided to come to the best team to learn." Gao Hongbo said.
"How is your study going, Director Gao?"
"It's very good, I've benefited a lot." Gao Hongbo nodded and said.
Reporters are good at reading facial expressions. They carefully observed Gao Hongbo's expression when he said these words and found that he did not seem to be lying.
It really benefited a lot.
But it’s only one day!
Gao Hongbo seemed to notice the reporters' confusion and surprise. He smiled and said: "Every training detail of the top European teams is worthy of my serious study and thinking. Even the warm-up movements, I have benefited a lot."
Then he didn't want to say anything more, politely said goodbye to the reporters, and walked away.
His wife works in the press office of the Chinese Football Association and interacts with Chinese media every day. Naturally, she knows the ethics of these media reporters.
Just like women and villains, if they are close, they will be resentful, and if they are far away, they will be resentful. It is not good to maintain too close a relationship with them, and it is not good to have nothing to do with them at all.
After politely answering reporters' questions, he did not want to talk more.
※※※
The fact that Gao Hongbo was studying and working at Lazio quickly spread to China through these media.
China was also surprised.
No one knew that Gao Hongbo had gone to Lazio after not seeing him for a while...
After being surprised, many people feel that this is a good choice. It is better to develop abroad than to stay in China.
Moreover, he has even won the Chinese Super League in China. What else does he pursue? Is it possible that he still wants to be the head coach of the national team?
Chang Sheng has set a new beginning for Chinese coaches, that is, not to be limited to the domestic environment, but to bravely go out. Players can study abroad, and coaches can also study abroad.
The backwardness of China's football level is not only due to the inferior skills of the players, but also the inferior skills of our coaches.
Otherwise, why does the Chinese Football Association always look for foreign head coaches? Isn't it just the future monks who can chant sutras?
From Schlapner to Horton, from Milutinovic to Alihan, from Dujkovic to Folado, in the end, they would rather replace Gao Hongbo, who actually led the team with good results, than replace him with a second-rate European
The Camacho…
If the level of Chinese coaches can be in line with the world, maybe our Chinese football level will be improved and progressed.
Let’s not talk about the problem of the system. This problem cannot be changed. But just because the system has problems, you cannot put all the responsibilities on the system, and then do nothing but criticize the system. That is not a person who is doing serious things.
should be done.
Within the framework of the system, improve the strength of Chinese football as much as possible, even if it only improves by one centimeter, it is progress.
This requires players and coaches to work together.
If players want to study abroad, coaches can also leave messages!
As a pioneer among Chinese coaches, Chang Sheng has laid a good foundation for Chinese football in Europe.
As long as you are really capable, open-minded and willing to learn, as long as you are willing to let go of your salary as a head coach in China and make all the changes, and start as a primary school student, you will definitely learn something.
In theory, this is a wonderful vision.
If we have more Chang Sheng and Gao Hongbo, why worry about Chinese football having no way out?
But the actual situation is very cruel. Chang Sheng has been working hard in European football for nine years, and now Gao Hongbo comes to him to study and work at Lazio.
Is it because Gao Hongbo is very smart and thinks of things that others can't think of?
no.
In fact, it’s just because going abroad to be a grandson is not as satisfying as being an uncle at home?
As a coach in China, you can receive red envelopes, bet on football, and get kickbacks... There are many benefits, no matter how good the team's performance is. If this team is relegated, another team will continue to suffer. There will always be someone who will
Paying for oneself.
When you go to Europe, these privileges are gone. You have to be treated like a grandson by those foreigners, and you have to work very hard to do things that you haven't done in China for a long time. It's not worth it.
Another most important reason is... in fact, the level of the vast majority of Chinese coaches is not considered high in European football. Even if you come to them, you will only be rejected.
How much hardship did Chang Sheng endure during his study tour in Europe? His experiences were so sad to hear and tearful to listen to that few people could persevere.
He persisted for more than ten years before achieving his subsequent achievements.
Who is willing to suffer for more than ten years just for a future that he doesn't know whether he can succeed?
With this time, a man who has been working in China for more than ten years has already made a lot of money.
Therefore, Chang Sheng is the first Chinese coach to study abroad at his own expense, and after so long, Gao Hongbo has become the second one.

Because of Gao Hongbo's relationship, the Chinese media paid more attention to Lazio.
After all, there are actually two Chinese coaches in this team. They have more and more Chinese elements, and Chinese fans will pay more attention to it. The Chinese media will naturally satisfy their wishes.
The Chinese media reports have made many Chinese media have a more favorable impression of Lazio.
They even jokingly called Lazio "old friends of Chinese fans".
Because Lazio is cultivating excellent coaches for Chinese football!
Chang Sheng has already achieved success, but Gao Hongbo still has unlimited possibilities, so they are now more willing to pay attention to Gao Hongbo. Even Chang Sheng has been robbed of the limelight by him.
I always win but I don't care about these things.
Chinese fans dream that in the future, after Gao Hong has learned a lot, he will go out on his own, become a head coach with a winning streak, and lead a European team to gallop in the European arena.
"If you do well, don't come back!" This is the ardent expectation and entrustment of Chinese fans to Gao Hongbo.
Sometimes Chang Sheng would point to Gao Hongbo such words on the domestic Internet.
Gao Hongbo just smiled and said nothing.
Who knew that this skinny little man had a dream as big as an idiot's?

PS, there will be a single chapter later to talk to you about why I wrote such a plot.
