The Asian Cup football match was held in July.

This year was held in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, four Southeast Asian countries. It is also the last time that the international sports event was co-organized by four countries in history.

The original Asian Cup was held every four years, but considering avoiding the season conflict with the European Cup and the Olympics, two major international sporting events, the Asian Football Federation decided to change the tradition and hold the competition one year in advance, and then continue to hold the event every four years.

The Chinese Football Association attaches great importance to the competition, mainly due to domestic public opinion pressure.

Since the end of the 2020 World Cup in Korea and Japan, the performance of the Chinese national team has been declining. In the Asian Cup held in China, the Chinese team was able to reach the finals all the way, but this year, the performance of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup qualifiers is really not complimentary. They almost failed to qualify in the group, and even lost their qualifications to participate in the Asian Cup finals.

This made domestic public opinion even more dissatisfied with the Chinese team, and some internal revelations also doubled the pressure on the Chinese Football Association.

So the Chinese Football Association wants to "do a good job" in the Asian Cup, at least make the Chinese team's results "justified".

If you want to "do it well", you have to find a way. The strength of the "Zhu Family Army" led by Zhu Guanghu is on the surface. Even many people within the Football Association are not optimistic about the performance of this team, let alone the outside world.

However, some internal problems involve the interests of many people, and many problems cannot be changed. So some people from the Football Association thought of Wansheng. This young man has made a sky in Europe, which is quite famous, so his coaching ability must be very outstanding.

Can he have better results if he asked him to coach the Chinese team with Zhu Guanghu?

Some people have come up with ideas.

So the Football Association held a simple meeting to discuss this matter, and the result was almost "unanimous vote".

It’s not that they are so important to Wan Sheng. Wan Sheng will hardly have any impact on them when coaching the Chinese team. They just add an “assistant coach” to the team, and they don’t even have to get much salary. If the Chinese team’s performance is not good at that time, someone can ‘take the blame’, and what other ideas are better than this?

So the Chinese Football Association contacted Kevin Tagore in Hong Kong and also gave Manchester City Club an invitation letter to explain the situation.

Wan Sheng was surprised by the invitation from the Chinese Football Association. Because there was no news about this before, he couldn't think of why he invited him.

The Asian Cup is about to be held in two months. At this time, letting him serve as a "technical coach" is to believe in his ability and think that he can help the Chinese team improve their performance?

Wan Sheng looked at the invitation letter and thought for a while but couldn't understand.

In fact, Wan Sheng is still very concerned. He dare not say that he is a pure patriot, but he still hopes to help the motherland in his best efforts. Now he is a football coach. In the field he is good at helping Chinese football, it is actually quite good to think about the complex situation of domestic football. But thinking about the complex situation of domestic football, he is a little worried that he will "fall into the pit"?

This must be taken care of.

Before making any decision, he needs to think about things so that he will not be passive.

So he called Zhu Guanghu directly and asked some related questions.

He knew Zhu Guanghu.

Last year, Manchester City had a friendly match with the Chinese team. He had a conversation with Zhu Guanghu and left a phone number with each other. He called directly and asked related questions, "If I go, do I have the right to put the players I am optimistic about on the roster?"

This is a key issue.

Since I am the "technical coach" of the national team, that is, the assistant coach, I can definitely express some opinions and opinions on the list of players recruited. Since I have gone there, I definitely hope to make the national team better. If I don’t have any rights, what will I do if I go there?

Zhu Guanghu was silent for a while and said, "But some people have to be in the team."

Wan Sheng thought about it and asked directly, "Is it possible for me to be the head coach directly? I am not going to replace you, but if I go there, I will definitely be the mainstay during the Asian Cup. It depends on the ugly words that must be said in front. I need enough rights to be confident that the team will perform better."

"Also, I need the team to start training in June and everything will be arranged according to my plan."

""

Wan Sheng talked about a series of requirements.

To sum up, it is just one sentence that I need to include all rights related to recruiting players, training, game arrangements, etc.

Zhu Guanghu finally smiled bitterly, "If it were me, I would definitely be able to agree to you. No problem, but I don't have so many rights, and I will be subject to restrictions from the higher level, that is, the Football Association."

Wan Sheng shook his head and said, "Okay, thank you. I know what to do."

Zhu Guanghu didn't understand what Wan Sheng meant, "I know what to do." What is this to do?

But he soon found out.

After having a conversation with Zhu Guanghu, Wan Sheng knew that even if he went to the national team, he would not have any rights. At most, he would be in training and competitions to put forward some of his own opinions. As for whether to adopt or not, others would have to decide.

What's the point of going like this?

But it wouldn't work if he directly refused the invitation from the Football Association, because the invitation from the Football Association and what he said to Zhu Guanghu were all "secrets". The outside world still doesn't know. If he refused the invitation, who knows what the Football Association said?

Wansheng is already very experienced and he knows very well that he cannot give some people a chance, otherwise it will definitely have an impact on his reputation.

Then just say it publicly!

Wan Sheng opened the Xinlang blog page and logged in directly with the account name you applied for. This Xinlang blog is certified, but because he rarely logs in, not many people follow him, but there are tens of thousands of netizens, because he has confirmed his true identities, many of them are domestic media reporters.

Wansheng posted an article on his blog, explaining the matters that the Football Association invited him, and at the same time explaining his requirements.

"I really want to contribute to Chinese football, but if I want to lead the Chinese team further in the Asian Cup, I need some relevant rights."

"If the Chinese Football Association can agree to my request, then I will be willing to give up my vacation time and do my best to lead the Chinese team to make a breakthrough in the Asian Cup!"

At the same time, Wan Sheng also emphasized some points that may be "criticized". One is that "salary" is not a problem, which means that even if the Football Association does not pay, he is willing to serve as interim head coach. The second is that he said that he is not "fighting for power" because after the Asian Cup, he will go to Manchester City to prepare for the next season.

After explaining all these questions, he also asked Kevin Tagore to give the same answer to the Chinese Football Association.

This is the problem being made public.

All the questions are made public, and not giving others the opportunity to 'slander' themselves is to tell everyone that I am the one who has these conditions. If I agree, I will go. If I don't agree, it is not my problem.

Then the problem came to the Chinese Football Association again.

Some people from the Chinese Football Association have no idea about the situation. They just received a reply from Kevin Tagore and felt that it was "completely unacceptable"!

What a joke!

It's actually nothing to steal Zhu Guanghu's rights, it's just a temporary change of coaches. Besides, Wan Sheng did not make any requirements for salary, but the problem of "recruiting players' autonomy" involves a lot of things.

This is impossible to agree.

Didn’t the other party mean that he had the final say in the national team, and no one else could interfere, and everything was listened to him, which was absolutely impossible!

Then some people thought about how to "responsibility" and told the media about this. The key to the problem is naturally that Wan Sheng refused to play for the national team, but soon they no longer had the intention because the media already knew everything.

Wanshengbiao’s blog post has a very big influence!

After the article list, the administrator of Xinlang Blog saw Wansheng's blog update content, and almost immediately put the blog link on the Xinlang official website page, and also marked the most conspicuous position with a picture.

In just three hours, the number of visits to the blog post has exceeded 10,000.

10,000 people!

There are still many people who keep reprinting, and the number of reprints is quickly over 10,000. Among the visitors, there are still many media, and they also report on the content.

All China and even the world know it!

When the Chinese Football Association officials reacted, media reporters had already "questioned" the related issues, so the Chinese Football Association's external press officers didn't know how to answer.

Could you answer as agreed before?

That certainly won't work!

Media, domestic fans already know that Wan Sheng is not unwilling to agree, but there are only a few conditions. Normally, for a head coach who coaches a European club, it is not an exaggeration to have these rights. At least everyone knows that Wan Sheng must have these rights in Manchester City. Let’s take a look at Manchester City’s results. They won the English championship for two consecutive seasons. As a new UEFA Champions League team, they reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League in their first season. What else can I say?

So what is placed in front of the Chinese Football Association has become a choice to agree, or not?

They no longer have the right to justify.

Then some people from the Football Association were angry with the guys who came up with this 'bad idea', "How come you think of provoking that 'thorn'? That guy can give Europeans a headache, let alone in China! He is not an ordinary young man, and it's not that easy to cheat!"

"Look, I'm in trouble now!"

"What do you say do? Agree? Impossible! Eighty percent of people will not agree! Don't agree? How do you explain with domestic media and fans?"

Then someone thought of a good way to drag it out.

I kept delaying and not explaining, and said that the two sides were still discussing and discussing. When it was delayed until June, the matter would be resolved, because the national team had already started preparing for the game and it was impossible to change the coach temporarily. (To be continued.)
