Chapter 127 Cultivation of famous marshals (April 5164)
Chang Sheng won an Italian Super Cup in front of his hometown elders. Although this championship was tasteless, it was still very exciting for Chinese fans.
They enjoyed a wonderful game at close range and saw the ability to win often.
Such a head coach is indeed the top coach in the world.
He can now be on an equal footing with those names that everyone could only look up to before.
Manchester United has Ferguson, Arsenal has Wenger, Inter Milan has Mourinho, AC Milan has Ancelotti, we have a winning streak!
Even if he agrees with Mourinho and thinks that Chinese football is very amateur, no one will criticize him because he is right! Chinese football is very amateur!
This can be seen from the ridiculous things done by the Football Association...
The one who can confuse the Arabic numerals "6" and "9" is probably an organization as weird as the Chinese Football Association.
The only pity is that such an excellent head coach cannot coach the Chinese national team...
Of course, after knowing Chang Sheng's temper and character, and everyone's consistent understanding of the Chinese Football Association, they all know that it is normal for Chang Sheng not to coach the Chinese national team.
It is simply impossible for both parties to cooperate together.
Maybe Chang Sheng also thought of this, so he trained Gao Hongbo for the Chinese national team. As his disciple, the football played by Gao Hongbo now coaching the Chinese national team is a bit like Lazio, emphasizing the ball at the foot, various small areas
Cooperate and quickly pass and move.
The playing was indeed much better than before, and many fans had the idea of going to watch the Chinese national team live again.
So far, I have played five warm-up matches, with three wins, one draw and one loss.
Although he doesn't win often, everyone is satisfied with Gao Hongbo.

Lazio, who have always won, flew out of Beijing early the next morning. They were going back to Italy to continue preparing for the new season.
But in China, the craze brought about by the Italian Super Cup has not subsided yet.
The media and fans are still discussing this game.
Every detail of this game can make people talk about it.
In addition, the box office of this game also broke the box office record of a football game in mainland China.
Before that, this record belonged to the 2004 Asian Cup final, when the Chinese team played against the Japanese team. The box office at that time was 35 million yuan.
This game set a new box office record of 80 million yuan.
I think back in 1999, when Manchester United came to Shanghai with the reputation of winning the Triple Crown, it was only 30 million.
Real Madrid's first phase of Galacticos visited China in 2003. It was so sensational and lively, with a box office of 28 million.
The Italian Super Cup match between Lazio and Inter Milan left them eight blocks away...
Such excellent box office results were unexpected by both the organizers and the Italian Football Association.
They didn't expect that the enthusiasm of Chinese fans would be so high.
In Europe, the overall strength of the Italian league is not as good as before, and its influence is also declining. This can be seen from the TV broadcast fees.
I really didn’t expect that in far away China, Serie A would have such great appeal...
The Italian government is right to award the famous Serie A commentator Zhang Lu a knighthood. A large part of the 80 million is due to the popularity accumulated by China Central Television's tireless broadcast of Serie A for 20 years.
Such excellent box office results have moved the Italian Football Association.
They originally only planned to hold an Italian Super Cup in Beijing because this year marks the first anniversary of the opening of the Beijing Olympics. Beijing took the initiative to contact the Italian Football Association and hoped that the Italian Super Cup could be held in Beijing.
But now, it is the Italian Football Association's turn to take the initiative to contact Beijing and express their desire to continue cooperation.
There is still great hope that next year's Super Cup will be held in China.
But the Italian Football Federation is not satisfied yet, they hope to finalize more in one go.
For example, they hope to hold the Italian Super Cup the year after tomorrow and the year after tomorrow in China to thoroughly develop the Chinese market.
For China, this is naturally welcomed. The same match between Lazio and Inter Milan left a very good impression on Beijing. They were able to see such a wonderful and high-level match at their doorstep.
I couldn't ask for it more.
That's it. The two sides hit it off immediately.
The Italian Football Association has reached an agreement with China, and the Italian Super Cup will be played in China for the next three years.
Chang Sheng learned from the news in Italy that the Italian Super Cup will be held in China for the next three years.
It was the same as he remembered. There were some things he could change and some things he couldn't.
It seems that I will go to China to play games every year in the future... I hope Chinese fans will not be tired of aesthetics...

The new season is approaching, and the media has been hyping up who Lazio might sell all summer. As a result, the transfer deadline is approaching, but Lazio has made no move.
It's exactly what Chang Sheng said at that press conference. Lazio's transfer activities have ended, and no matter who makes the offer, they will not accept it.
Bookmakers are also constantly adjusting their odds, from being optimistic about players leaving Lazio to now not being optimistic about anyone else leaving Lazio. In the end, they simply closed betting.
It seems that even the bookmakers are convinced that Lazio will never sell anyone again.
This made the media who were waiting to see Lazio's joke very unhappy.
But what if you are unhappy?
People just have the ability to keep their own players!

Before the start of the new season, Chang Sheng went to Monaco to attend the Champions League draw ceremony.
He met Guardiola again.
When he saw Guardiola, he did not go up to say hello to Guardiola. It was not because the relationship between the two had deteriorated.
It was because Guardiola was being interviewed by reporters at that time.
A group of reporters surrounded him three levels inside and three outside.
Barcelona won the Triple Crown last season and became the second Triple Crown winner in Spanish history. For Guardiola, who was in his first year as head coach, this result was particularly outstanding.
He has naturally become the focus of media attention.
Some media have long compared him to a winner, believing that he is the only coach who can break the monopoly of wins on the championship.
Some media believe that the future of European football will basically be a win-win situation, and that it will be the Romance of the Three Kingdoms between Guardiola and Mourinho.
As for Wenger and Ferguson, they are already old.
European football has entered a youth storm. Both players and coaches are getting younger.
The Catalan media was even more elated, as if they were on drugs every day, and all kinds of big hats flew towards Guardiola.
What is "the strongest head coach in history", what is a "genius head coach", what is "the hope of Catalonia's revival"...
Of course, their favorite title is "real tikitaka master".
The subtext is that Lazio's tikitaka is the result of Guardiola. Chang Sheng is just a thief who deceives the world and steals his reputation.
When they praise Guardiola, they always compare him with Chang Sheng, always exalting Guardiola and belittling Chang Sheng.
Especially now that Lazio has begun to control the ball less and pursues speed more, sacrificing a lot of ball control for this reason, and the scene is not as dazzling and complicated as before.
This provides a good target for the Catalan media.
They ridiculed Chang Sheng for betraying tikitaka, but this is normal, because tikitaka was originally attributed to Guardiola. Now that Guardiola has left, he naturally cannot play anymore. He can only play tikitaka that is beyond recognition.
They also ridiculed Chang Sheng why he didn't leave Lazio? Because Chang Sheng knew very well that without the help of Guardiola, he would probably ruin his brand by going to other leagues. Serie A is not very competitive and only needs to compete with one team.
Team competition is enough. Especially last season, the key to Lazio winning the league was their double defeat of Inter Milan.
If you stay in Serie A, the pressure to win the championship will be much less. It will be relatively easy. In this way, you can continue to maintain his signature feature of "champion coach" who always wins, and you can continue to deceive the world and steal the reputation.
In the minds of these Catalan reporters, the only meaning of winning is to use his early championship results to set up a target for Guardiola. As long as Guardiola can defeat him, he can win.
Officially became the number one head coach in the world.
Chang Sheng glanced at him from a distance, and Guardiola looked high-spirited surrounded by reporters.
In the first year he coached Barcelona, he won the Triple Crown. No matter how experienced you are, you will naturally be high-spirited at this time.
Someone traveled back in time and trained Mavericks, and he trained famous coaches.
Chang Sheng smiled and walked through the crowd.
Few reporters paid attention to him, and everyone's focus was on Guardiola.
He also doesn't want the media to pay attention to him.
After living in the spotlight for a long time, I quite like to enjoy the breeze in a corner where no one is paying attention.
※※※
Guardiola, who was being interviewed by reporters, suddenly felt something and turned around to look for it.
Then he saw Chang Sheng's leaving figure.
For a moment, he was a little absent-minded and didn't even hear the reporters' questions.
When he came to his senses, he asked: "I'm sorry, what did you ask just now?"
"There are rumors that your relationship with Chang is tense. Is this true?"
This reporter came here deliberately to sow discord. Why are there rumors? This rumor came from their family.
Guardiola and Chang Sheng have different styles. If it were Chang Sheng who heard such malicious questions, he would immediately fall out.
Guardiola still answered seriously and humbly: "There is no such thing. I have a very good relationship with Chang. I was able to succeed on the coaching bench. I am still grateful to him to this day..."
The reporter who asked the question curled his lips and answered like this, which is really boring...
Although Guardiola is now more popular than Chang Sheng, as a reporter, he still prefers to deal with Chang Sheng. Although he will be scolded by Chang Sheng, there is always a gimmick...
Guardiola is so polite now, like a gentleman.
But these days, how can a gentleman be so popular as a bastard? (To be continued...)
