This was a difficult decision for Merkley. But after he decided to support Platini, he became very cautious. Because this matter is related to the future of Czech football and his vision for the future of Czech football.
Standardization.
If he wants to win, Merkley knows that he must cooperate well with Platini. The two need to be in sync to successfully break through the current unfavorable situation. Although what Riester said sounds good, Platini is obviously
At a disadvantage. It is definitely not as easy to regain this disadvantage. First of all, Merkley needs to communicate with Platini, and the two need to unify their thinking.
"There is no problem. Just arrange it in September. Then we will have the Champions League group stage at Sparta Prague. You will not cause any trouble if you meet Platini."
Platini is now the executive committee member of UEFA and usually goes to watch Champions League games. In September, there happens to be a Champions League group stage match with Sparta Prague. Sparta Prague is the largest club in the Czech Republic.
As the chairman of the Czech Football Association, it is normal for Merkley to watch the game. When the time comes, the two people will meet and chat naturally. No one else will be suspicious.
"Okay, you just need to help me arrange it. But you have to be careful about this matter and don't make the city full of trouble."
"Bawell, don't worry, I have a sense of discretion in this matter."
In war, there are good tactics and strange tactics. The side with the absolute advantage usually needs to push you openly and openly. It is not something worthy of admiration when the side with the absolute advantage still uses strange tricks. Only the weak side will use strange tricks.
Now Platini just needs to win by surprise, and he is no match for Johansson.
After the two people discussed it, Lister returned to Sparta Prague again. Thomas Czerny still listened to Lister's words. Of course, Thomas Czerny himself also wanted to be proud.
Therefore, he immediately contacted the OFK Belgrade club and proposed to introduce Ivanovic. That is now, if it were a club in the Czech League before, which one would be qualified to introduce Serbia's top talent? But now it is logical.
Serbian clubs are really in decline. It should be said that the entire country of the former Yugoslavia was in turmoil in the 1990s. The politics were too turbulent, so there were too many military conflicts and no time to develop the economy. Currently, Serbia’s per capita income is about the same as that of the Czech Republic.
The difference is five to six times. The salary in the Czech league is also more than one or two times higher than that in the Serbian league.
Sparta Prague finally spent 5 million euros to acquire OFK Belgrade's Ivanovic. Although Serbian football is not as good as Brazil and Argentina football, there are many talents and there is no shortage of talents.
Now that the economic situation is not good, they also want to sell more players to keep the club going. When Sparta Prague introduced Ivanovic, they also introduced another new star to Sparta Prague.
OFK Belgrade's left back, 19-year-old Krarov Tomas Czerny, was taken away directly. He gave OFK Belgrade one million euros. A total of six million euros were spent to bring two
Serbian talented player.
"Father, that's it. From now on, when the club encounters good players, it will spend what it deserves. Five million euros is nothing, ten million euros have to be spent."
"What should I do if I go bankrupt? I spend too much money, and there are not just one or two clubs that go bankrupt."
"Father, we are Sparta Prague. The entire Czech football world is our support. We can also go bankrupt. Even if Sparta Prague really goes bankrupt, wouldn't I still be there? How could Sparta Prague do it if I am here?
Bankruptcy."
Any club in the Czech Republic may go bankrupt, but Sparta Prague will never go bankrupt. During the wave of liberalization in the early 1990s, these football clubs were abandoned by the government. Because the government at that time had no time.
Manage football club.
But as the Czech economy has been getting better and better in recent years, the Czech government has paid attention to football. After all, football is a facade, like Sparta Prague is the facade of the Prague city government. Even if Sparta Prague really
He is going bankrupt. The Prague city government will not allow him to go bankrupt.
"Father, our Sparta Prague is also a wealthy club. Have you considered the head coach issue?"
"Head coach?"
Thomas Cherny paused and then said: "Michelle did a good job. We were the domestic double champions last season."
The current head coach of Sparta Prague is Michel Bilek. This person is a youth training player of Sparta Prague and was the main midfielder of the Czech national team that year. Michel Bilek is only 40 years old this year.
Retired in 2000 at the age of 35. Then he served as youth team coach at Sparta Prague, then assistant coach of the first team, and became the head coach of Sparta Prague in 2004.
In his first season as coach, he helped Sparta Prague win the domestic double championship. He can be regarded as an outstanding young coach from the Czech Republic in recent years.
"Father, Michel is good, but only good. We have come so far at Sparta Prague. Our results in European football should be similar to Lyon, Porto, and Eindhoven. But why do we
No, it’s just because our coach isn’t good enough.”
As the Czech league becomes more and more powerful, Sparta Prague has more and more good players. Look at the current lineup of Sparta Prague, including Ivanovic, Krarov, Thiago Silva
, Skrtel, Matic, Hamsik, as well as Suarez and Hulk, who List booked for Sparta Prague. This lineup has a chance to shock European football in the Champions League in two or three years.
of.
But the stronger Sparta Prague becomes, the more dissatisfied List becomes with the head coach of Sparta Prague. A good head coach can turn a team into a strong team, and a bad head coach can turn a team into a strong one.
A strong team has become a mess. A head coach like Michel Bilek is just a mess. He is ready to be bullied in the Champions League.
"Michel is still young and he is dominating the Czech Republic. If we want to be truly successful in Sparta Prague, we still need some famous coaches. He is not someone who is trying to steal the reputation, but a real famous coach."
After all, the Czech league is weak. Although Sparta Prague is the top club in the Czech league, it has not had any real famous coaches in European football for many years. Until now, the most famous coach of Sparta Prague is Zeman.
Zeman is also considered a famous coach, but it is only because of his playing style that he attracts fans. In terms of performance, Zeman does not have any outstanding results. Especially in Zeman's coaching career, there are no championships in hand.
In the history of football, it is nothing without championships. Those who can leave a few words in the history of football are famous coaches who have won championships.
Without a championship, no matter how good you play, it means nothing. Because in five years, some people may still know the beautiful playing style, but in ten years, most people will have forgotten it. In fifteen or twenty years, no one will remember it.
Half a century later, people will only remember the championship. Who knows who played well a few decades later.
The same is true for coaches like Zeman. Some people may remember him within ten years, but no one will remember him twenty years later. Because he has no solid results. People may remember him more than his results twenty years later.
The "anti-doping" issue in Serie A football back then.
Compared with Zeman, Mourinho is the one who truly left a name. Xavi later said that no one would remember Mourinho in the future. Mourinho did not leave anything to football. But
As the most popular head coach of the decade, Mourinho has won so many championships and will definitely leave a mark in football history because he has too many championships. If he can work until he is seventy like Ferguson did
Years old, then he may not even be able to count the number of championships in his hands.
"A real famous marshal? What you're talking about is..."
"A champion, a true champion coach. A famous coach who has won the heavyweight championship."
"Give me an example."
"Championship coaches like Joseph Heynckes, Hitzfeld and Lippi."
Thomas Czerny couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Lister's words: "Lister, you are just amusing me. How could a championship coach like them take a fancy to our Sparta Prague."
Riester shook his head. Then he smiled and said: "Father, you think too highly of these championship coaches. Coach Heathfield is famous and has won the Champions League in two different clubs. But he also coached a Swiss club. There are also
Coach Heynckes, after leaving Bayern, he also coached clubs such as Athletic Bilbao, Frankfurt, Tenerife, and Benfica. Why can't he coach our Sparta Prague?"
"Which one do you like?"
"Josef Heynckes. He is a truly famous coach and a true champion coach. He has not only coached small clubs, but also coached top giants like Bayern and Real Madrid. He has won the league championship and the Champions League championship.
. Now he happens to be unemployed at home. As long as we are sincere, we can hire him. Only a famous coach like Heynckes can truly make our Sparta Prague famous in European football."
Among the current famous coaches, Lister is most optimistic about Heynckes. It is not that he is the most capable, but that he is currently the only famous coach who is idle at home and has the opportunity to coach Sparta Prague.
That's Heynckes. If Heynckes comes to Sparta Prague and trains the talents of Sparta Prague, Sparta Prague will surely shock the European football world.
"Are you sure?"
"There shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, he is currently idle at home. We at Sparta Prague provide money and a stage, so why shouldn't he agree? As long as you are sincere, father, you will definitely be able to invite him."
