Chapter 1398

"Hello, Zhuoyang."

"Hello, Frank. Please take a seat."

In the villa by lake zhuoyankomo, he and Rijkaard took their seats again, this time without Ronaldinho, only the two of them. In the two crystal cups on the table, pieces of tender tea are like tongue, with dark green color and delicate fragrance in the blue liquid.

"Frank, I would like to support you to become the head coach of China national team." Zhuoyang is open-minded.

Hearing this, Rijkaard smiled happily. Although he is confident in achieving the goal of this trip, with Zhuo Yang's positive reply, he still feels relieved.

Through the information gathered, Zhuoyang has fully recognized Rijkaard. He has a high reputation in football and is undoubtedly worthy of the position of manager of the Chinese team. No matter how you look at other aspects, they are also very suitable.

According to the information, Rijkaard is a low-key and resolute man. Although he has been divorced twice, he has no gossip, no other bad habits and habits. The mass Christian, that is to say, the kind of religious belief that goes with the flow. I don't like to participate in the discussion of political topics, and there is no racial discrimination, gender discrimination and other words.

Rijkaard is a workaholic who was born for football. He worked more than 12 hours a day when he was in charge of Holland national team and Barcelona. He likes to study techniques and tactics, and knows the world football trend and frontier very well. He is a professional high-end talent. In addition to his native Dutch, he is fluent in English, Italian and Spanish.

He is good at teaching according to his aptitude and different tactics according to different opponents. If he has any shortcomings in the coach's professional ability, Rijkaard's on-the-spot adjustment is not first-class. However, the manager has been divided into tactical type and adaptable type. Ancelotti's on-the-spot adjustment is notoriously clumsy, but it does not prevent him from becoming a top manager.

Rijkaard's biggest weakness is his lack of control over the dressing room, which bothers him in Holland and Barcelona, where he has little to do. Moreover, Rijkaard did not deal with his superiors very much. He often fell into the contradiction of high-level struggle and was helpless. The main reasons for several departures in the coaching career are in these two aspects.

Rijkaard himself knows all these things very well. He has not been able to learn some things and has no intention to ponder them. Today's football is full of various interests. Being proficient in business is not enough to become a successful coach. A famous coach not only needs to have the means to control the dressing room, but also needs to know how to face the media, how to deal with all aspects of the relationship, and even how to bargain.

But Rijkaard has not much in other aspects except for his excellent technical and tactical skills and profound football theory. It's the most important thing for a person to have self-knowledge, and it's the most difficult for him to recognize himself.

At the end of last season, after exhausted from the Barca position, Rijkaard planned to close the knife completely and return to seclusion. Since then, his wife and son have become a full-time father of a family caring man. His greatest desire is to have several children with Stephanie, the third wife who just married at the beginning of the year, so that the children in front can have more younger brothers and sisters, which is Stephanie's wish.

However, after the news of China's national team's selection was disclosed, Rijkaard's silent heart once again rippled. He loved football for half of his life and said it was easy to let go.

"Thank you, Zhuoyang. I'm looking forward to working with you." "In the future, the dressing room will be yours, the football association will be yours and the team will be mine," Rijkaard said

Rijkaard clearly saw that Zhuoyang had full control over the dressing room of the Chinese national team, and had a strong deterrent to the Chinese Football Association, which inspired the idea of coaching China. With this "two forces", he can devote all his energy to the technology and tactics. With the existence of Zhuoyang, Rijkaard has the possibility of fully developing his strengths and avoiding weaknesses for the first time in his coaching career.

All of them understand people. Zhuoyang knows what he means. If he speaks too thoroughly, it will be boring.

"Frank, I hope you're prepared." Zhuoyang said.

"Oh, what is it?"

"You made Ronaldinho one of the best stars in Barcelona, you made Xavi the best playmaker in football, and Iniesta, who is now one of the best free men in the middle and front Zhuoyang has always paid attention to Barcelona, not only because of Ronaldinho, but also because of Messi. "Including Rio, it's during your coaching that you start to mature."

"But, to be honest, they have this potential, and your coaching is a catalyst."

Rijkaard nodded. He agreed with Zhuoyang.

"But when you go to China, you are likely to be disappointed. There is no such potential now, and it is likely that there will not be for a long time." Zhuoyang refers to the existing first-line players in China.

"I understand. I'm prepared for that." "However, the Chinese team's opponent is not real Madrid, is not it?" said Rijkaard

Some of the foreign coaches who left the post of head coach of China's national team complained afterwards that the level of Chinese players was not enough, which means that he was not incompetent. Nonsense, if the Chinese team has two Zhuoyang, three Kaka, four cros and a bunch of Maldini, how can I use you? Get a coach and go for the world championship.China's opponents are not even Japan, South Korea, Iraq and Australia, but those in the second tier of Asia, to maintain a stable scoring rate for them.

Rijkaard said this, which shows that he didn't do any homework, but saw the essence of things clearly: the Chinese team didn't need to go to the world football arena to compete for hegemony, and to be able to enter the world cup was success.

"I'll work with you. Let's have a good time in Asian football."

The next day, Rijkaard's agent filed a letter with the Chinese Football Association in Beijing to bid for the head coach of the Chinese national team. At the same time, he announced it in the European mainstream media, with full coverage in the domestic media.

A day later, Cheng Hao's interview with Zhuoyang appeared on the front page of the domestic media. Zhuoyang said: Mr. Rijkaard is one of the most outstanding coaches in the world. I know him very well and he knows me very well. I am looking forward to his coaching in China. So far, the public opinion has turned to Rijkaard in an all-round way, and the consensus has been established. Other candidates have been suspended, and the football association has no other choice.

Another day, Rijkaard met with the leaders of the football association in Beijing and elaborated on his plan to coach China's football team, mainly China's national team. Then, Rijkaard's agent and the football association started negotiations, three days passed without any progress. The crux of the matter lies in Rijkaard's salary requirements, and the football association does not have so much budget.

Five days later, Li Xiaoqing, President of EC technology, met with the leaders of the football association and said that he was willing to take part of Rijkaard's salary in exchange for the rights of EC technology in China's national team, such as training and naming.

Seven days later, the Chinese Football Association announced that it would hire Frank Rijkaard, a Dutchman, as head coach of the Chinese national team, on a contract from now until July 31, 2010. AC Milan, Barcelona, Ajax and the Dutch Football Association officially issued a statement congratulating Rijkaard on his new role and looking forward to his continued success in his new role.

Rijkaard's annual salary is 3.5 million euros, ranking second only to England Capello's 5 million pounds, higher than Italy's 3 million Lippi and Germany's 2.8 million Loew's.

On October 7, 2008, Rijkaard and his coaching team officially took office. Later, it was found that his agent Nino Gianni never showed up again. The business activities of Rijkaard and his coaching team members in China were all in the charge of Yiyang field planning company.

Rijkaard's coaching team includes: Dutch Henk tengkat, Dutch and Barcelona star John neskens, former Swiss star cyriaco Sforza, former Barcelona goalkeeper coach Juan wensoe, Italian football star "abductor meteor" atilio Lombardo.
