Eight hundred and twenty-five: Picking a Coach
85 Choose a handsome man
In the south of Manchester city is a famous university town, where the University of Manchester and Manchester Business School are located. There are also several famous hospitals in Manchester nearby, including the Royal Hospital, which has close ties with the Red Rebels.
Although it was a holiday and there were not many pedestrians on the road, when the car entered this area, it was greeted by a strong aroma of books. Young students could be seen everywhere on the street, all of them dressed very fashionably, but If you pay attention, it is not difficult to find that most of these people are wearing clothes related to the Red Rebels.
The influence of the Red Rebel brand has long gone beyond the scope of sports. Audi has tailor-made the brand specifically for the Red Rebel, specializing in launching high-end sports cars and luxury coupes, focusing on fashion and personality; Adidas has also launched a brand based on the Red Rebel The brand's various series are no longer just jerseys and shorts, but also include fashionable clothing that is highly respected by the younger generation.
In addition, the Red Rebels themselves are also promoting brands, including Beckham's DB, Ronaldinho's CR7, Kaka's K8, etc., which are all brands that the Red Rebels strongly promote and have achieved excellent market response.
This influence is even more obvious when entering the university town area. From this, it is not difficult to see that the Red Rebels, a team that specializes in rebellion and individuality, have a strong position and influence in the minds of the younger generation around the world.
Opposite the University of Manchester, that is, opposite the Royal Hospital, there is Denmark Road. Less than 50 meters after turning into it, you can see a building with the dazzling logo of the Red Rebels. In addition to the rebel logo, there is also a doctor's hat. This is the location of the Red Rebel coach training class.
Located in this scholarly university town, opposite Wyeth Park in the core of the university town, it is indeed a good place to study. Many people also joke that because the environment here is good and the learning atmosphere is strong, it quickly became... It has become a learning palace that coaches in the UK and even Europe long for.
There are not many famous coaches who have come out of here. The most famous one is David Beckham. Karl Marginson and others are also well-known in China. However, there are many coaches who come here to teach, such as Ferguson, Van Gaal, Mourinho and others. Rinho and others also often hold classes here, attracting countless young coaches. In addition, some world-renowned coaches officially work here.
This is it, Xiao Yu said at the gate, pointing to the high steps with a smile.
Wang Lin and others all raised their heads and looked at this three-story building with disbelief. It looked antique and very English-style. This building had the same style as the teaching building at the University of Manchester. Almost, people who don’t know really can’t tell that this is the location of the famous Red Rebel coach training class in Europe.
Although there are only a handful of famous coaches trained, there are countless coaches trained.
Some people even call this place the Huangfu Military Academy where English football rose, which shows the importance and status of this place.
Hey, Mr. Xiao Yu. Prince, the dean in charge of the Red Rebel Vocational Coach Training Academy, saw Xiao Yu and immediately came up to him.
This is Professor Prince, the dean. He has worked for FIFA for many years and has been a lecturer at the Cologne Sports Academy for a long time. Later, after the Red Rebels Professional Coach Training Academy was established, I did everything possible to lure him to Manchester and He will be responsible for the affairs of the college.
Although Xiao Yu's introduction was very simple, everyone knew that to poach such an outstanding talent, it was not enough to just rely on money and influence. You must also have extensive interpersonal relationships. When the Red Rebels poached Xiao Yu got Prince through his connections with Beckenbauer.
Are these guests from afar? Prince greeted Wang Lin and others with a smile.
Wang Lin and his party immediately met Prince politely, but the latter's attention was obviously focused on Xiao Yu.
Next month, the college plans to offer another management course. We have studied it. Then you should give a lecture, Prince said with a smile.
When Xiao Yu heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, Don't play tricks on me, I'm not material to be a teacher, and besides, I don't have that much time.
Well, you can squeeze in time. This time, there are many students from the United States and Japan. They all come specially to hear your experience. If you don't come to class, then the college's signature will probably be lost. They were smashed by them, Prince said with a joking chuckle.
We'll talk about it then. Knowing that he couldn't let go, Xiao Yu had to drag out his words.
He had taken several classes here, and the response was very good. This made the college want him to give lectures all day long, but Xiao Yu always refused him for various reasons. This time he also planned to refuse. Lose.
Did Ke come to class today? Xiao Yu asked.
Yes, turn right in the corridor, Prince replied with a smile, and then reminded Xiao Yu again, Remember, at the beginning of next month, the time has been arranged, and I will send it to your secretary. Don't miss the appointment again.
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded in agreement, but turned into the corridor with Wang Lin and others.
It turns out that Mr. Xiao Yu is still the teacher here, Wang Lin laughed and complimented in an irrelevant way.
Xiao Yu shook his head and laughed at himself: I don't have any professional knowledge. I just have some experience in running a team. I can't reach the level of elegance.
But in the eyes of everyone, this is not the case. With so many people traveling across the ocean to attend classes, it is natural that they are not just chasing stars. However, Wang Lin and others were also surprised. After all, the Red Rebel Professional Coaching Academy did not have any training in the country. Although he is famous, he seems very authoritative in the United States, Japan and other places, which is really embarrassing for them.
In an era where information technology is so transparent, there is still such unequal information. Is this to blame for the Red Rebel Professional Coaching Academy not making a big splash? Or should we say that China is just blindly chasing the hype of famous brands and not paying attention to those low-key authorities?
Turning to the right of the corridor is a large classroom with nearly a hundred students sitting in it. A young foreigner in a suit with a headset on his face is writing a series of football terms on the blackboard of the classroom and speaking in a strong male voice. English, imparting his tactical knowledge to the students present.
There are many students, but they vary in age. Some of the young ones look very immature, some are relatively mature, some of the older ones are already in their twenties, and some are in their thirties. This makes The scene in the whole classroom was very interesting.
But one thing is for sure, everyone is listening with gusto.
Are all students so eager to learn? Wang Lin couldn't help but be surprised to see all the students listening so attentively, and some were even copying notes. This kind of scene is not common even in elementary schools.
If they weren't interested, they wouldn't study so seriously, right? Xiao Yu said with a thought-provoking smile.
Wang Lin and others couldn't help but agree from the bottom of their hearts that interest is indeed a kind of power that can turn corruption into magic. As long as there is interest, anyone can become diligent and studious, but without interest, everything becomes useless.
Do you know him? Xiao Yu asked, pointing to the blond young man.
Wang Lin and others looked at him seriously, but they all shook their heads to express that they did not recognize him. This made the group a little embarrassed. It seemed that this blond man must be very famous, otherwise Xiao Yu would not ask such a question.
Co Adrianse, a Dutchman, was once one of the candidates for the national football coach selection, but later the Football Association was a little worried about his personality and worried that he would not obey discipline, so the trip ultimately failed.
Some people have heard of this name, but few can name Adrianse's resume.
Many people, even Van Gaal himself, believe that coaching Ajax to the Champions League was the pinnacle achievement of his life. Even now, he cannot break through, but that Ajax team back then Here, the biggest contributor is undoubtedly Van Gaal, but the hero behind the scenes is youth team coach Adrian Se. He has served as Ajax's technical director since 1999, taking charge of the youth team and training a large number of rising stars, including today's Van der Vaart, Sneijder and others who are playing in the Premier League, as well as Kluivert, Seedorf and others before him.
Adrianse left Ajax in 1997 to take charge of Willem II and led the team to immediately become the most competitive team in the Eredivisie. Officially because of this, he was in charge in 2000. He was invited back by Ajax. After one season of coaching, the team only finished third and was doubted by the fans and the board of directors. He terminated his contract and left early, but he created a framework for Ajax's revival.
The frontcourt combination that Van Gaal trusts now, Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic were both discovered and introduced by Adrianse during his time at Ajax. In addition, Inter Milan's Kivu is also a defender that Adrianse trusts. These They all became the world's top stars, and after Adrian Se left angrily, Koeman relied on this lineup to win the Eredivisie championship that year.
After leaving the Netherlands, he took charge of AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie after a year of layoff, and led this lowly Eredivisie team into a top Eredivisie team. He showed great performance both in the Netherlands and in Europe. After gaining great strength, he went to Porto and also won the Portuguese Double.
Like other head coaches with temperament and character, Adriance is also unruly and stubborn. He insists on his own coaching principles, so in his coaching resume, there are many conflicts between him and senior management. , but his coaching ability is beyond doubt.
Van Gaal once said that the difficulty of entering the top team is not inferior to that of staying at the top. In our Chinese language, winning a country is as difficult as protecting it. He once said with a smile that he can ensure that the team stays at the top. The head coach, and Adrianse is a top coach who can lead an underdog team to the top. The two of them are very good friends, and they both have the same personality and coaching philosophy.
Wang Lin and others listened to Xiao Yu's introduction to Adrianse's resume, and couldn't help but think to themselves that the current national football team is indeed an underdog, even in Asia, and what is lacking most is undoubtedly not the world of Van Gaal. Super famous coach, because the national football team does not have the football resources needed for a famous coach, so the most suitable thing is to find the kind of famous coach who can turn stones into gold and help the team go from an underdog to a top team.
After leaving Porto, Adriance accepted the invitation of Moniz and Meulensteen and came to Manchester to serve as a lecturer at the Red Rebels Professional Coaching Academy. While waiting for opportunities, he also hoped to add value through this. Think about your coaching philosophy.
In the past few seasons, although Adriance has not joined Mourinho's coaching staff, he has studied many cases of the Red Rebels in the professional coaching academy. He has also absorbed a lot of essence from them, and has a lot of experience in his coaching. Ability has been greatly improved.
It is precisely because of Adriance's love for offensive football and technical football, coupled with his study of the Red Rebels' tactics, and the closeness in style between his tactics and the Red Rebels, especially his cultivation of young players. to let Xiao Yu see his prospects and future after coaching the national football team.
Domestic football is now at a crossroads. What is needed is a unified style, and Adriance is undoubtedly a very suitable head coach.
To be able to get Xiao Yu's approval, even if he is not a world-class coach, he should at least have real talent. If nothing else, it depends on who Pellegrini was recommended by Xiao Yu to Droisden. I know him, but what about now?
Mr. Xiao Yu, you just said that he was unruly, could that be... Someone in the crowd asked worriedly.
Xiao Yu shook his head and laughed, We must understand that all powerful people have personalities, while mediocre people are destined to be mediocre, so we should not worry about his personality or his disobedience, but what we should worry about is his Ability, if he is really capable and can really change the current situation of the national team, even if he has a bad temper, so what?
It is very rare to hire a head coach who is very capable but also obedient. Even Ancelotti and Vicente del Bosque, who are known as good men in European football, have their own principles and positions. , has its own unique personality, it’s just that we can’t see it at ordinary times.”
Mr. Xiao Yu is right, what we want is ability, not obedience. If we just want to obey blindly, then why should we go to a foreign handsome man? We can just find one in China, who is guaranteed to be obedient and well-behaved, and the salary is still low. Wang Lin decided immediately.
Xiao Yu smiled and said, Dr. Wang, I can only give you a few clues on this matter, but I really think that Adriance is a very suitable coach and is very suitable for the current domestic football situation, but I have to remind you that if you really decide on him in the end, then you should give him the greatest power and trust. That is respect for the head coach.
Wang Lin had already heard about the rumors between Xiao Yu and Mourinho, and knew the deep meaning of Xiao Yu's words. He couldn't help but nodded in agreement. He also knew that Xiao Yu did not want to get involved in the national football coach selection. After all, this is not within his scope.
…………
…………
After receiving Xiao Yu's strong recommendation, Wang Lin and his team sat down with Adrian Sai at the Red Rebel Professional Coaching Academy to discuss it that day. Xiao Yu accompanied him, but he did not express any opinions from beginning to end.
During the conversation, Wang Lin and others consulted Adrianse for his views on everything from the technical tactics of the national football team to the unified style of the national team, and even in areas such as youth training. As a result, the Dutch head coach should be clear-headed and have a clear understanding of the Reds. The rebel system was highly respected, which made Wang Lin and others' impression of him rise rapidly.
Since the style must be copied from the Red Rebels, of course the style of the head coach and the national team should also adopt the Red Rebels approach, so the effect will definitely be better when combined.
After a whole day of detailed discussions, Adrianse has obtained the approval of Wang Lin and others, and this man once won the honor of the best coach in the Netherlands.
The coach has always hoped to go overseas for training. He expressed his willingness to consider the invitations from Wang Lin and others.
Wang Lin and others also felt that they should think about it carefully, but in the next few days, in addition to communicating with Xiao Yu about football reform, they also had more in-depth discussions with Adrianse, especially On the formation of the coaching staff.
Adrianse's requirement is that he should bring four assistants, namely a fitness coach, a goalkeeper coach, and two assistant coaches. He even said that if necessary, he can help the Football Association find a suitable youth training coach. After all, he Established good connections at the Red Rebels Professional Coaching Academy.
In addition to Xiao Yu's recommendation, Wang Lin had an exchange with Red Rebels coach Mourinho. Mourinho also highly praised Adriance. He even believed that Adriance had the same character and ability as him. , he will bring huge changes and something different to domestic football.
Then in the last round of the Premier League, Adriance accompanied Wang Lin and others to the Red Rebel Stadium to watch the game live, and analyzed various tactical arrangements for the game. His logical analysis and predictions all conquered Wang Lin. , and this game the Red Rebels also had a fanatical atmosphere at home, 4: Defeated the visiting Tottenham Hotspur, ending the Premier League season.
After the game, Wang Lin immediately called the Domestic Football Association, which immediately expressed its willingness to send someone to Manchester for detailed discussions.
Three days later, people from the Football Association came and sat down with Adrianse, Wang Lin and others for detailed discussions. The two sides reached a consensus on a wide range, but Adrianse was a little worried about the job and did not make a decision on the spot.
Wang Lin also noticed that Adriansai had this hesitation only after seeing the people from the Football Association. He immediately asked Xiao Yu for help. After Xiao Yu learned about the situation, he immediately invited Adriansai to come out and discuss it in detail. He personally analyzed his ideas to him and expressed his intention to set off a wave of reform in the country.
After Adrianse learned of Xiao Yu's thoughts, he didn't think much about it. He immediately called Wang Lin and the Football Association officials to express his willingness to accept the Football Association's invitation. Wang Lin did not disappoint, personally speaking to Adrianse. He signed a 4-year contract that will run until the end of the World Cup in Brazil, and there will be a salary increase and an extension of the contract period based on performance.
It can be seen that he has also given Adriansee enough confidence, and the rest depends on the Dutch's methods.
