In the past few years, alpine has been calling for Chinese football to pay attention to youth training.
So far, three youth training centers have been built in Chinatown. Beijing has been put into use for many years, Guangzhou and Shanghai have started construction, and Chengdu and Wuhan are also under planning.
The youth training center alone has invested a lot of money in Gaohan and Chinatown.
In addition to youth training, Chinatown has also organized coach training classes to train a large number of coaches and youth coaches for Chinese football. However, in recent years, nearly 100 Chinese coaches have been sent to Chinatown Madrid for further study and stay in Chinatown, or recommended to other clubs in Europe for internship.
In addition, in cooperation with the Football Association, Chinatown has organized excellent referees from four major European leagues to come to China to set up referees training courses, with the purpose of strengthening the law enforcement level of domestic referees.
These are all down-to-earth projects. Apart from the youth training center, others are unimportant. In addition to the high praise in the industry, some even don't pay attention to the fans, but alpine and Chinatown have been sticking to them all the time.
Not only Chinatown, but also other domestic enterprises and institutions.
For example, in 2011, the study in Portugal program organized by Adidas and the Football Association organized more than 40 people to study in Portugal at that time, but now it has stopped abruptly.
……
"According to the reliable information I got, the main reason is that the domestic relations are not smooth."
In the living room of Gao Han's villa in Beijing's imperial garden, Xiang Mingchao explains to Gao Han why the plan to study in Portugal failed.
"It's very easy to organize overseas players, but it's related to whether the selection of players is fair or not, and whether there will be tricky and shady scenes? As the leading organization in the industry, will the cooperation between the football association and the club violate the rules? The ownership of the players belongs to the club. How can we make up for the loss of the club with such a large-scale transfer? "
Xiang Tianming shook his head, "... And so on, these problems are too complicated and troublesome, coupled with the financial problems, so after the new leadership came to power, they decided to give up."
After hearing this, Gao Han kept nodding.
On the surface, these are all things that can be solved in one sentence, but in fact, they are far from so easy.
Once the details are not dealt with clearly, it is easy to breed some grey areas and even turn into black scenes.
"What do you think of the football association now?" Gao Han asked.
He shook his head to Tianming with a bitter smile, "what else can I see? They don't care about it at all. The biggest problem is the coach of the national team, your old friend Camacho
Camacho is indeed a friend of Alpine sports. When he was coaching Atletico Madrid in Alpine sports, he already knew Camacho. Later, when Camacho took over the Chinese national team, he learned a lot about China from alpine sports.
But facts have proved that contradictions still arise.
It is difficult for outsiders to define the right and wrong in the whole process. However, it is obvious that after the 5-1 defeat to Thailand a few days ago, the Chinese Football Association announced that Camacho was dismissed and the next national team was led by Camacho's assistant coach.
But then came the question of Camacho's contract.
There are too many complicated details involved in this. It is difficult to make it clear for a while and a half. It involves the Football Association, Camacho, sponsors and partners. There is no way to make it clear who is right and who is wrong.
But it should be said that unilateral termination of the contract, the football association to pay the full contract salary, this is a practice.
That's how Moratti fired Cooper, isn't it?
It's the same with three coaches at the same time at the peak of Inter.
In this matter, we can only say that the Chinese Football Association's handling is not professional enough, but we should learn from the experience next time.
"Now the 2014 World Cup in Brazil has been missed, the 2015 European Cup qualifier is also one win and one lose, the situation is not optimistic, so the football association is now in a mess."
After hearing Xiang Tianming's words, Gao Han shakes his head and grins bitterly.
Isn't that the case with most football associations?
This is true of both the FA and the Spanish Football Association.
At the time of Gao Han's bitter smile, Xiang Tianming suddenly raised his head, looked at him and tentatively asked, "I met a big man in the Football Association today, and he asked me about you."
"Is it?" The high cold is not surprising.
"Not long ago, when you were interviewed by China News Agency, you said that if you come back to coach the national team in the future, you will only take over the Chinese national team?"
"Yes, I did say that." Gao Han admits that this is his outstretched olive branch to the Chinese Football Association.
"So ah, the football association is really seriously considering that you will coach the Chinese national team."
After hearing this, Gao Han said with a smile, "they should invite at least one?"
This makes Xiang Tianming helpless, because the annual salary of the cold is too high. One billion yuan a year, who can stand it?
"Listen to what they mean. If you like, they can contact the enterprise to pay and bear the salary. However, with their style of work, annual salary must be discussed." Xiang Tianming laughs.
"It's not about money." But what kind of power can they give me
"What do you mean?"
"From international Milan to Munich, Bayern to Manchester City, to Paris Saint Germain, the whole team has the final say from top to bottom. Can they give them the right? Can they provide the coaching environment I want? "
Gao Han's words really ask Xiang Tianming, because it is obviously different from the internal practice of the Football Association.
Leaders like subordinates who are both obedient and competent most, but Gao Han is obviously a master who has achieved a lot, especially when he has such a great influence at home and abroad. Who can control him when he calls for ten million responses on Weibo?
"Today, I don't care about money any more. What I want is a teaching environment that can display my talents. When they can give me such chips, let alone talk about salary, I will do it without money."
Xiang Tianming has no choice but to smile bitterly.
From Gao's words, he has no doubt about Gao's feelings for the motherland and his love for Chinese football. But the problem is that the football association can't give such conditions now. Even if it can, it's hard to guarantee when he will go back on his promise in the future.
"Don't worry. Take your time. I have plenty of time now." Gao Han laughs.
After dealing with the football association in recent years, Xiang Tianming is also very clear about the ideas of these leaders. It's impossible for them to make such a compromise and ensure that Gao can get the teaching environment they want, unless
"Don't talk about these bad things. Talk about the youth training center." Gao Han quickly changed the topic.
When it comes to the youth training center, Xiang Tianming is enthusiastic.
Since the opening of Beijing Chinatown youth training center, Xiang Tianming has been promoting the cooperation between China and Spain in youth training in accordance with the idea of high cold. The first is to take Chinatown as a link.
According to the meaning of Gao Han, the first step is that he hopes Chinatown will cooperate with the Chinese Football Association to build the Chinatown youth training center in Madrid into the first overseas youth training center of the Chinese Football Association. Chinatown will provide high-quality teaching and training resources for Chinese youth players, which will become the first step for Chinese football to go out.
It should be said that this first step is not difficult.
It's the third year since the youth invitational tournament in Chinatown was held in Beijing for the second time. Coupled with the cold weather and the special background of Chinatown, the youth players know each other's roots and know the bottom, and they can adapt to Madrid better.
And the next step is to arrange the domestic youth teams to participate in the low-level League in Spain, which is also the practice of many Japanese and Korean teams. They have made arrangements all these years.
But to achieve this step, we need the governments of China and Spain and the football association to negotiate with each other and lead by the cold.
As for going further, the same mode of studying abroad can be copied to other countries, such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries with excellent youth training. Gao is confident that he still has some contacts and influence in the European football world, so he can help.
But the premise is that the first two steps should be done well.
"We have a lot of cooperation with the Football Association, from coach training to referee training. In the past few years, we have also established a very good cooperative relationship. The football association is also very interested in our plans. You know, when it comes to youth training in European football, Chinatown is absolutely second to none."
When he said this to Tianming, he was also very proud.
"At present, they are very busy, but next they will organize a delegation to go to Europe for on-the-spot investigation, further discuss specific cooperation details with Chinatown, and actively contact with the Spanish Football Association and the government."
It's also necessary for Gao Han to nod his head.
After all, they are also responsible for the players who go abroad at home.
"Then I'll start preparing as soon as I get back to Europe." Gao Han is also very happy about this.
…………
…………
After talking with Xiang Tianming for a while, they began to talk about the development of Chinatown youth training center.
Gao's attitude has always been very clear, not for rapid expansion, but for stable development. Therefore, the development of youth training center of Chinatown in China is not fast, only Beijing is really open.
But it's just a youth training center in Beijing, but the teams of every age group are invincible in China.
This not only makes Gao Han happy, but also feels helpless, especially a market survey submitted to him by Tian Ming.
There are too few young players in China.
Chinatown once held a Football Forum in cooperation with the Football Association, inviting many domestic football elders to participate, expressing their opinions, summing up the past experience and lessons, and making suggestions for the future development of Chinese football.
Many people think that the biggest regret is that China's football missed an excellent development period, that is, it entered the world cup in 2002. That national jubilation should have been an excellent opportunity to take this opportunity to vigorously develop China's football.
But unfortunately, for various reasons, since then, Chinese football has ushered in a long-term downturn.
"What we need most now is to ignite the enthusiasm of the people of the whole country for football once again, to recreate the jubilation of the whole country in 2002, and to take this opportunity, with the full support of the government, to vigorously promote the comprehensive reform of Chinese football."
But over the years, the national football team has been weak, and it is difficult to bear such a heavy burden.
Although the cold has made a name in Europe, he alone can't do it.
The alpine region also deeply regrets the missed opportunity in 2002.
But since missed, that missed, regret and regret are useless, can only strive to change the status quo, angry and strong.
The first is to do a good job in youth training.
Thanks to the experience of the first Chinatown youth Invitational Competition two years ago, the preparation of the third Invitational Competition this year is more orderly, which is personally organized by his father-in-law, Lin Guoping.
After returning to China, Gao Han inspected the preparation of this event at the first time, which is very reassuring.
The only troubling thing is that group of small players, whether they give satisfactory answers in the home match at home?
