Chapter 279 The hesitant C-Roman(1/2)
It is definitely not possible for England to have no coaching staff. The FA has begun to find suitable head coach candidates, but it was not confirmed until April.
At this time, someone suggested Hodgson.
Hodgson is a 66-year-old coach. He is a local British coach. He has a professional player career. After retiring, he became a formal coach. He has achieved good results in Sweden and Switzerland: from 1985 to 1990, Hodgson coached the Swedish Malmö team, winning two league titles and two cup championships; from 1991 to 1995, he coached the Swiss national team and reached the 1994 World Cup quarterfinals. Since then, Hodgson coached Inter Milan for two years and led the team to the League Cup finals.
But many people still have doubts about Hodgson's ability to lead the team. After all, the old coach is already 66 years old and his head coaching career is not brilliant.
So someone remembered the Asian Cup in 2007, when Wan Sheng led the team to Hong Kong, China to win the Asian Cup championship.
"Is Wansheng okay?"
When he heard this statement in the first year of junior high school, many officials of the FA immediately questioned, "Wan Sheng? How could he be the head coach of the England team?"
But no one questioned Wansheng's coaching ability.
"He will definitely do it, but he is Atletico Madrid's coach, and Atletico Madrid is his club. He will definitely not resign to coach England!"
"Can be a temporary coach..."
“…”
The FA began discussions internally, and many people supported Hodgson, but more people supported Wansheng.
In the English football field, Wansheng is already very famous. Many officials of the FA can be said to be Wansheng's "old acquaintances". They are very supportive of Wansheng.
"It's hard for us to score good results in the European Cup, and it's different to win. I think we can try it."
This statement has received support from many people.
The England team is now in a mess, Hodgson is 66 years old, and it is not easy to integrate a team well, let alone lead the team to participate in the European Cup.
The most urgent task of England's team is to find a head coach who can lead the team to participate in the European Cup and have the ability to achieve good results.
In terms of team leadership, everyone recognizes Wansheng.
So the FA made a decision to invite Wan Sheng as the temporary coach of England, and the contract between the two sides was terminated after the European Cup ended. This would not affect Wan Sheng's coaching at Atletico Madrid, and would also give the FA plenty of time to find the next coach to take over.
When he received the invitation from the FA, Wan Sheng was also surprised, and then he remembered that Capello had resigned and the FA had not found a suitable head coach.
"Leading England?"
Wan Sheng thought about it for a while, and it was not until the last round of the league before the Copa del Rey that he decided to agree to the FA's invitation.
If other European teams invite Wan Sheng to coach, he will definitely refuse directly.
That makes no sense at all.
The England team is different. In Wan Sheng's opinion, coaching the England team is a difficult challenge. There are too many problems with this team, and the skills of each star player are relatively rough and are not suitable for his tactical concept. It is precisely because it is not suitable for his tactical concept that it is more challenging.
I was looking forward to the victory of thousands of people when I thought of leading England to the European Cup.
After agreeing to the FA, the two sides began negotiations. The FA offered a good price - 7 million euros. The coaching started from June 1 until the end of the English team's journey in the European Cup.
If other head coaches knew about this temporary contract, they would definitely be shocked.
The European Cup officially started on June 7th, until the last final, and on July 1st, in other words, you can get a high salary of 7 million euros in one month of coaching.
But Wansheng is worth this price!
Even in European football, Wan Sheng has become a legend. He has won all the league championships in his coaching seasons. He has led the team to participate in the Champions League three times, won two Champions League trophys, and won many cup championships during this period. In addition, he has coached the Hong Kong team to create miracles and win the Asian Cup. The name Wan Sheng almost represents the championship.
How much is the European Cup championship worth?
In the eyes of the FA, no matter how much the European Cup is, it is worth it.
In international competitions, England has always been a symbol of strength, but they have not achieved good results for a long time. In all competitions including the World Cup, they have never even entered the semi-finals. Domestic fans are eager to achieve good results in England. For this purpose, what does 7 million euros count as?
In fact, Wan Sheng doesn't care about 7 million euros, which is not worth mentioning to him at all.
The focus of dispute between the two sides is on rights.
Wansheng needs all the rights that the head coach should have, such as calling a large roster of players, such as who will serve as captain, and who will play in a certain game.
These basic rights are necessary.
Capello angrily resigned from the English coach position because of his majesty. Wan Sheng did not want to repeat the same mistake.
If that happens, he might as well not be the head coach.
The FA finally compromised under pressure. They needed the England team to achieve good results, and inviting Wan Sheng to coach was the best choice. However, they hope that Wan Sheng would take charge of the team as soon as possible. After all, there was too little preparation time, and even if the coaching ability was strong, it would be difficult to really lead the team to achieve good results.
Wan Sheng doesn't care about the FA's worries, he needs to lead the team to the Champions League final.
After the final, the club has to celebrate a series of celebrations, and then he has to stay in the club to deal with some transfer matters. Only after he has time to work hard can he have free time to work as a "temporary worker".
In Wan Sheng's view, coaching the England team is just a "difficult worker".
The 2011-2012 season has officially ended. All professional clubs in Europe have been disbanded, and the transfer work has been fully launched. Recently, most media reports have been transfer news.
The biggest news is that Neymar joins Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid failed in competing with Neymar, which may be attributed to the team's lack of influence in South America. Neymar has the right to choose which club to join. In the opinion of Brazilian genius, Barcelona is undoubtedly a better choice.
Wan Sheng wanted to introduce Neymar to add flexibility to the team's forward line.
This summer, the team not only bought Falcao, but because it was difficult to play in the game, Klose also transferred freely, so the team only had two players left on the front line - Diego Costa and Wang Qiuming.
With only two forward players, there is no need to change any more.
Wan Sheng also began to consider introducing new players, but the cost of introducing famous stars was too high. After the failure to introduce Neymar, he also felt that it was not necessary to increase the forward line. After all, Diego Costa and Wang Qiuming were both outstanding.
The forward line will be a competition between Wang Qiuming and Diego Costa next season.
In the midfield, Mario Suarez took the initiative to apply to leave.
Wan Sheng agreed after considering it.
Mario Suarez is almost impossible to play as the main player, but Wan Sheng still hopes that he will stay with the team to supplement the lineup, but the players will take the initiative to leave, and it is useless to stay. Wan Sheng cannot guarantee Mario Suarez's playing time.
Atletico Madrid listed Mario Suarez for sale.
To supplement Suarez's missing player, Wan Sheng has already decided to do it. Milan had loaned Cork before, and now it's time to take it back.
The team's back line has also changed. Veteran Uyfalusi has not been able to play in the game for a long time and decided to transfer freely, but there are many personnel on the back line, so there is no need to worry at all.
Wan Sheng is a little worried about the goalkeeper position, and De Gea hopes to transfer and leave.
Wan Sheng knew before that De Gea might apply for a transfer. The important thing is that Sergio Arsenho performed very well. A team must not have two excellent goalkeepers. De Gea did not want his playing time to be taken over, so he chose to leave.
After thinking about it, Wan Sheng agreed.
Asenho is fully qualified as the main goalkeeper, and he will have no problem as the main goalkeeper next season.
In the European transfer market, Atletico Madrid has always attracted much attention.
Last season, Atletico Madrid sold Aguero, creating the benchmark in the transfer market. This season, they won all the championships in Spain, including all the Champions League championships, and every player on the team is valued by the outside world.
When news of Atletico Madrid listed Mario Suarez and De Gea, media from various countries rushed to report that Mario Suarez was better, he was just a substitute player, and De Gea was listed, causing a sensation in European media.
"Atle Madrid is going to sell De Gea?"
"What did they think! De Gea is the next Cassie!"
"This European Cup, De Gea is likely to replace Cassi and serve as Spain's main goalkeeper!"
"They want to sell their goalkeepers!"
"It's not enough to sell the shooter as a player, but you have to sell the goalkeeper! How did they make this decision?"
The media is a little bit "I hate it but I can't make you feel steel."
At the same time, many wealthy families who lack goalkeepers have also begun to make tentative quotes.
After experiencing the Champions League and helping the team beat Chelsea and winning the European championship, De Gea's value rose sharply. "French Football" evaluates De Gea's value for Europe is 34 million. If you want to buy De Gea, you have to refer to this value standard. Often, you can only have more or less.
For European giants, buying a talented goalkeeper like De Gea for 34 million euros is definitely a great deal. The key is that De Gea is less than 22 years old!
Professional goalkeepers under 25 are considered young, and De Gea has achieved such a thing at the age of 22.
Anyone knows that his future is infinitely bright!
What is 34 million euros?
Manchester United's offer to De Gea was directly raised to 35 million euros, and in just one day, they raised the number to 41 million euros.
Faced with Manchester United's rapid increase in offer, Atletico Madrid was caught off guard. After that, a call from De Gea's agent made the club know the reason - De Gea's agent had already discussed with Manchester United. Manchester United was willing to pay a large transfer fee for De Gea, and De Gea was also willing to join Manchester United.
Since De Gea himself agrees and Manchester United is willing to pay out a large transfer fee, what else can I say?
Then finalize it!
So De Gea's transfer was finalized within three days. When both clubs sign a contract with De Gea, De Gea will become a member of Manchester United.
Wan Sheng had not left Madrid at this time.
He still needs to meet someone before leaving Madrid for London and officially taking over the England coach.
That is Real Madrid's number one star - Ronaldo.
This is - Ronaldo's agent Mendes contacted him, and Mendes is not entirely for money. He also hopes that his players can get better and better.
In recent years, Wan Sheng has to coach Atletico Madrid. It can be foreseeable that Real Madrid will not be able to do well.
Wan Sheng's coaching ability has been recognized by many people. So which coach can lead the team to defeat Wan Sheng's Atletico Madrid?
To be continued...
