Chapter 1911 "He is outdated"(2/2)

His last time coaching in Europe will be the 2021-2022 season.

When former national team coach rival Kili Borja led the Spanish national team to the Qatar World Cup finals in the winter of 2022, he was once again fired by the club during the winter break.

Then, unwilling to give up, he quickly signed a contract with Getafe 1326, preparing to help this team avoid relegation. And Getafe 1326 was the first team where he started his coaching career, which can be regarded as his return to his roots.

When he signed with Getafe 1326, the club heavily promoted it. What a "legend comes home", what a "place where the dream begins"...

In short, it should be as touching as possible.

As a result, who would have thought that just one month later, Getafe would sack Dillon at 1326.

It turns out that touching fairy tales are only valid for one month.

Dillon's dismissal was said to be due to the tense relationship between him and Agudo Morant, the then general manager of Getafe 1326 club. After becoming the team's head coach, Dillon demanded monopoly power and had an affair with Morant.

conflict.

After the dismissal, the two parties went to court over the issue of compensation, which was very unpleasant.

The feelings of the past are gone.

The touching propaganda a month ago now seems quite ironic...

And since Morant was the one who decided to sign Dillon and give him a chance to make a comeback, the subsequent disputes between Dillon and Morant, coupled with the lawsuit against his old club, also brought Dillon to court.

Long's popularity in Europe was completely ruined.

At that time, the Spanish media was full of all kinds of black stuff about Dillon. Regardless of whether it was true or false, fans watched it with gusto, and a lot of dark stuff about Dillon also appeared on the Internet.

The famous European coach in the past has been reduced to a "clown" that everyone shouts about and can laugh at.

After being dismissed from Getafe 1326 in February 2023, Dillon has been idle at home. No team asked him to coach, and even TV stations did not dare to ask him to be a commentator.

It looks like his career is over.

It wasn't until April 2024 that a club from China sent his agent an email asking the famous coach Jorge Dillon if he was interested in coaching in China.

Dillon, who had disappeared from the public eye for almost more than a year, has finally returned to the spotlight.

But in fact, for European football, there is no difference between him and continuing to disappear - no one will think that coaching in China is still the center stage of world football. A head coach

Going there to coach is no different than a player going to play in a Middle Eastern league: you'll end up making a fortune and then retire.

The Spanish media just used this incident to increase Dillon's popularity.

"World Sports News" ridiculed that Dillon may have spent all his savings during the year at home, and urgently needs to find someone who is stupid and has a lot of money to pay his pension.

"A professional team in China has found the most suitable head coach for them. Although it is difficult for the money-grubbing Dillon to gain a foothold in European football, he can still become like a god in the distant football desert of China.

Character, after all, the people there have not seen much of the world, they may still have braids, ha... The salary offered by the Chinese club for him was staggering. It is said that when Dillon heard the number reported by the agent,

His first reaction was not to agree or refuse, but to ask: 'Are the Chinese crazy? I don't know if the Chinese are crazy, but I think China may have just put up telephone lines... Hahahaha!"

Then Dillon once again disappeared from the mainstream view of European football.

When Dillon was in decline, Borja, the "green leaf" who was used to foil him in the past, reached the peak of his coaching career.

He led the Spanish national team to win the 2026 World Cup.

At this time, not many people even mentioned the past competition between him and Dillon...

Later, Dillon appeared again in European media reports, and it was he who became the head coach of the Chinese team.

This is because of Hu Lai's performance, which made European football interested in Chinese football.

"World Sports" jumped out again - this Barcelona media had a deep hatred with Dillon because of his past coaching the Madrid Kings - they reported the news of Dillon coaching the Chinese team with sarcasm.

:

"Congratulations to Jorge Dillon, he finally realized his lifelong dream - to become the head coach of a national team. What made Dillon agree to coach the Chinese team? Perhaps it was because of the home jerseys of the Chinese team and the Spanish team

They’re all red, right…”

Yesterday, Mundo Deportivo made important revelations. In their report, they revealed why the Spanish Football Federation did not choose Jorge Dillon.

And it's not a text report that "starts with a picture, and the content is all edited." This time, Mundo Deportivo directly produced a recording of the phone call of Spanish Football Federation Chairman Manuel Zenitalia.

In the recording, Zenitalia said:

"...Yes, we didn't consider Dillon at first, partly because of his character. You know, he will cause controversy wherever he goes, both in the Kings and the Bulls... Yes, he has fighting

Spirit. But football is not just about fighting spirit... On the other hand, and probably the most important reason, is that we think his understanding of modern football trends is out of date... Yes, let me put it bluntly, his

That approach is outdated. He was able to win the Champions League with the Bulls only because of Caesar's super personal ability. That Turin Bulls team, to be honest... anyone could have won the championship. Sorry, that's what I'm saying.

So direct."

At this time, another person in the phone recording asked: "Did you tell Dillon this?"

Zenitalia laughed out loud: "Oh no, no. We don't want to drag ourselves into the whirlpool of trouble."

The other party also laughed together.

The phone recording ended with the two people laughing.

Apart from the World Cup, this incident was the most explosive news in Spanish football yesterday.

Although no one is complaining about why Dillon was not elected as the head coach of the national team, in the past twelve years, some people have analyzed the real reason why Dillon did not coach the national team.

But this is the first time that officials have acknowledged those rumors: first, Dillon's troublesome character; second, he can no longer keep up with the development trend of modern football.

And it was said very rudely, even a bit of a personal insult.

After the phone recording was exposed by Mundo Deportivo, the current president of the Spanish Football Federation, Manuel Zenitalia, said he would consider suing Mundo Deportivo.

Yu Bao" leaked his private call recordings without permission.

He only sued the Barcelona media for leaking his phone recordings, instead of suing Mundo Deportivo for fabricating rumors... This is very intriguing.

In fact, it has been decided whether Jorge Dillon will achieve better results than Borja if he coaches the Spanish national team.

Kily Borja led the Spanish national team to a World Cup runner-up and a championship. Such achievements can be ranked among the top five in the entire history of world football.

So Dillon cannot do better than Borja anyway.

From this point of view, it was extremely correct for the Spanish Football Federation to abandon Dillon and choose Borja. It just shows that the chairman of the Football Association Zenitalia has a unique vision.

Many people are glad that the Spanish Football Association did not really choose Dilon. Otherwise, how could the Spanish team be as brilliant as it is today?

Even Dillon himself probably has to admit this.

Yesterday at the pre-match press conference, he was asked by the media about his relationship with Borja, and this is his answer:

"I have no problem with Killy, I respect and admire what he has done with the national team. I am very happy to see Spain win the world championship under his leadership. So yes, before tomorrow's game, I will

He shook hands and hugged. There was absolutely no problem between us."

But he refused to answer what he thought of the exposed call recording.

Obviously, although he has no objection to Borja, he still has a lot of resentment towards the Spanish Football Association, especially after knowing the comments made by the president of the Spanish Football Association about him.

From the perspective of football professionals, it is absolutely reasonable for the Spanish Football Association not to choose Dilon. At that time, the Spanish national team was based on Catalonia's midfield and tactical system, which was indeed the most popular tactical idea and focused on ball control.

.Those years were also when Catalonia United was relatively successful.

Dillon still prefers the traditional wing plus center model.

In fact, Caesar changed from a winger to a center during the period when Dillon was coaching the Turin Bulls.

Although he relied on this strategy to achieve success with the Turin Bulls, winning the Champions League and the league championship successively.

But I have to say that at that time, the whole of Europe was playing pass and control, and his "tactics of the last century" ("World Sports News" said) did seem very outdated.

In addition, his tactics required too high a center forward's scoring ability, and there were not many outstanding forwards in European football at that time who were good at scoring, which made it difficult for him to make it in European football in the later period.

So what the Spanish Football Federation did was right, and what Zenitalia said was right, except that the wording was a little careless...

But Fan Fushun is just a chef. He doesn't know the professional football knowledge. He only knows that Dillon is the coach of the national team, and now he is ridiculed and insulted by the Spanish media.

Since ancient times, how can a coach be humiliated and his subordinates remain indifferent?
