"Before leaving, can I ask for your views and suggestions on Chinese football?" Lin Hai asked Dick.
Dick scratched his head: "I have a lot of suggestions and opinions, but I don't think anyone in the Chinese Football Association will be willing to listen."
"Then let's talk in private." Sun Liang laughed: "To be honest, people in our industry know a lot of things, but I want to hear your opinion. No matter whether those people are willing to do it or not, we will listen.
There’s no problem listening.”
"It's very simple. The league is the foundation and youth training is the foundation. Once these two are done, the national team will naturally improve its performance. What league will make way for the national team? What benefits will this bring? I believe that this time the Chinese national team can enter
The World Cup, but entering the World Cup once will not have any effect. Entering the World Cup this time will only be a lucky trip that overdraws all enthusiasm. Maybe Chinese football will enter a dark period that lasts for more than ten years.
"Dick replied calmly.
"Is this an exaggeration? Breaking out of Asia has been the hope of generations..." Lin Hai frowned.
"No one will believe it now, but looking back in ten years, many people will surely begin to understand that the decline of Chinese football actually started when they entered the World Cup. The league was suspended and divided to make way for the World Cup. It's terrible.
Is it true that I made the right bet and entered the World Cup? The chairman of the Football Association is naturally promoted. What kind of example is he left behind? Betting on the World Cup once every four years is a right bet. Will it have any benefit to the development of Chinese football?
If you go on the wrong path for a hundred years, you will only get farther and farther away from success. Of course, these words are only spoken in private. Even if you say it out now, I will not admit it." Dick showed his profoundness.
Unpredictable smile.
"We won't tell anyone, but ten years later, we may be able to testify that you said such things ten years ago." Lin Hai and Sun Liang looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.
"I rely on you to establish my identity as the master of prophecy." Dick laughed heartily.
"Last question." Lin Hai looked at his hands, then looked up at Dick: "Is it possible for you to coach the Chinese national team?"
Dick smiled, but did not answer directly: "Atletico Madrid made me the head coach and gave me all the power to build the team. I have nearly 100 million US dollars in funds to allocate and let me build the team according to my own ideas.
…Will the Football Association give me time and power? If they can really do this, I wouldn’t mind being the head coach of the national team.”
Lin Hai and Sun Liang laughed bitterly at the same time.
Of course they knew that Dick's words actually blocked his way to coach the national team - could the Chinese Football Association give the national team coach such power? Don't be kidding! On the surface, the national team must follow the coach's arrangements.
Come to form a team, but with such intricate forces, how can it be possible for the head coach to have the final say! With Dick’s power in Atletico Madrid, there is no way the Chinese Football Association can give him...
"By the way, why did you think of getting a coaching qualification certificate in Europe? With your level, it is very simple to get a coaching qualification certificate in China." Sun Liang suddenly asked.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Dick's face again.
"I got the domestic C-level coaching certificate when I was fifteen years old. It is the only domestic coaching certificate that an idle person can get." Dick said with a faint smile: "When I wanted to take the B-level certificate,
I just discovered one thing - it is impossible for me to take the exam on my own. I need to be recommended by the municipal football association before I can be qualified to take the B-level certificate. The domestic A-level certificate requires the recommendation of the provincial football association.
I took the talent test. I didn’t know anyone, and I could never become a head coach just by relying on my own efforts. So I went abroad. Although it is difficult to survive abroad, I can only become a head coach through my own efforts!”
"In Germany, three thousand coaching qualification certificates are issued every year, and more than a thousand are issued in Italy and Spain. Among these new coaching qualifications, perhaps none of them can become a top head coach, but they can
Being able to become amateur coaches, youth training coaches, echelon coaches... young children who want to play football can always find coaches to teach them. What about China? Now there is no one with an A-level coaching certificate recognized by FIFA! Yes!
Chinese people are not smart enough? It’s because they have no threshold! No way, no opportunity to learn! Without the popularization of education in this area, it is simply impossible for China to have a large number of coaches at the grassroots level. Does the Football Association care about this kind of thing?
?They don’t care. They manage the national team and the league...but these are the top levels of the pyramid, and they need a solid foundation below. And Chinese football can only develop at the top level without a foundation, and that’s hell!"
After Dick finished speaking, the room fell into silence. Lin Hai and Sun Liang were both digesting Dick's words, and then they admitted that Dick's words were correct.
Nowadays, Chinese leagues and national teams are always introducing foreign coaches. Why? Because the level of domestic coaches is poor, but how many real domestic coaches are there? Like players, coaches also need to select the top ones from a large number of candidates, but
How do Chinese coaches get ahead? Nowadays, domestic first-team coaches basically have one characteristic, that is, they used to be players, or even national football players! Only such people can be qualified to be coaches because they have been recommended by the Football Association.
People recommend it, even if you want to pay to learn, you won’t be able to learn!
In Europe, if an ordinary person wants to be a football coach, he can find a place to study at any time, and then pass the exam. After the exam, he can get the coaching certificate, one level at a time, and wait until he gets the A-level coaching certificate.
, you can coach in any club in the world. But what about the Chinese? Most Chinese fans don’t even know that you can take the C-level coaching certificate directly! Let alone take the B-level or even A-level exam through the recommendation of the Football Association.
level coaching certificate - it is only a coaching certificate recognized by the Chinese Football Association, not a coaching qualification certificate recognized by the AFC or even FIFA...
The backwardness of Chinese football is comprehensive.
"There are a lot of fans in China, and there are also a lot of young people who are interested in working in football. Why can't a large number of talents emerge? As a leader, the Chinese Football Association has done a poor job in basic work and only does superficial work.
.Without formal football schools, there is no formal youth player training system. Without formal coach training institutions, there is no formal youth coach training system. The excitement of the league in recent years is because it has the foundation of previous professional teams, and there is no
Worry about the number of players, let’s wait and see in a few years. The professional system has collapsed, but no new system has been established. This kind of reform is worse than no reform. Without a good plan, we rush into action with a slap on the forehead.
, this approach is too wrong. The Chinese Football Association is not only a system problem. When it comes to the system, the Football Association is also an official organization, but the Premier League has done very well. Why? Because they have their own training mechanism, and at the same time let Premier League players
The team manages the Premier League by itself, but this situation cannot happen in China... Forget it, I don’t want to say too much. I can only let you listen to it, and let Chinese fans think that I am who they imagine.
Just be a good person.”
Lin Hai and Sun Liang nodded in sympathy. Dick was right. He knew the shortcomings of Chinese football, but changing it was not a matter of two people. No matter how famous Dick was in the future, he would only be a head coach.
"If one day the Chinese Football Association invites you to coach the national team, will you go? If you refuse, it may have an impact on your reputation..." Lin Hai said.
"Before that, I will make them feel unhappy. If they are unhappy, they will naturally not hire me. And I don't think I will be so unlucky that no club wants me. When the time comes, I will still have a contract, and the Football Association will not ask me."
What a shame." Dick laughed hahaly. "In a few years, I will continue to give suggestions to Chinese football, and I guarantee that the Football Association will become more and more unhappy."
"You are such a cunning guy." Sun Liang finally couldn't help it and burst into laughter.
"People are wandering in the world, what can they do if they don't be cunning." Dick sighed: "I am just a head coach. Although the role of the head coach will become more and more important, it also requires the players to be capable. I am not
The kind of head coach who has the magic touch to turn stone into gold, if you give me a Spanish second division team, I will not be able to achieve very good results. Some coaches are only suitable to lead the national team, and some coaches are only suitable to lead the club team. I am the latter.
I am used to buying all kinds of players that meet my requirements, but not used to building a team from the existing players. This is my characteristic."
"Indeed." Lin Hai nodded in agreement. Coaching for the national team is different from coaching for the club. There are very few top coaches who can serve both the national team and the club. One specialty is already top-level enough.
And to be honest, people are doing well in Europe, with high salary and support from the club. They only coach the national team when they are crazy. There are restrictions and the stage is small. Any head coach who goes to Asia to coach will not be able to survive in Europe.
Will he go to Asia before he can survive? At least until Dick can no longer survive in Europe, he probably won’t consider returning to China to coach. And through their understanding in the past few days, Lin Hai and Sun Liang also know that with Dick’s bachelor temper, he probably won’t consider returning to China to coach.
Only in the straight-forward European football world can you get along better. In the Chinese national team, you can't do it without some skills. Even if Dick is outstanding, after all, he is young. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle those intricate relationships. And when he
With such skills, coupled with his coaching ability, in which league can he not find his place? Why return to China to coach...
"I wish you good luck in your future work." Lin Hai reached out to Dick: "I think that even if the sports channel sends someone to interview you again in the future, it won't be at our level..."
"I will consider appointing you two to interview me in the future." Dick winked at Lin Hai: "You know, it is rare to meet several reporters with bad tempers. If there are several reporters here this time,
You're a serious reporter, so I really can't handle it..."
Lin Hai and Sun Liang laughed at the same time, and Lin Hai shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not a prude, but this kind of thing is really not suitable for me..."
"I am a very democratic person and will not force others to do anything."
Dick laughed and shook hands with the two reporters. It must be said that this interview really made him feel very happy.
What he didn't know was that Lin Hai and Sun Liang would become the most sought-after reporters in the country in the future, because they were the only two who could get first-hand information from Dick, and Dick also found two of the best journalists in the country.
