The day after the Chinatown game, Atletico Madrid drew Villarrel 1-1 away.

The overall performance of the Bedding Legion was not ideal. Although he scored the first goal, he was equalized by the opponent in the 79th minute and was unable to score again at the Love Song Stadium.

But Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao four-one away and continued to defend the top spot in the league.

After the thirteenth round, Barcelona ranked first with 37 points. Martino's team's impressive record of 12 wins and 1 draw is indeed admirable. Zidane led Chinatown to second place with a record of 12 wins and 1 loss. Atletico Madrid ranked second, two points less than Chinatown and third place, and Real Madrid ranked six points less than Atletico Madrid, ranking fourth.

For Chinatown to withstand the pressure and win Levante at home with three to zero, both media reporters and fans gave a very high evaluation, believing that as long as Chinatown continues to maintain its current momentum, it is fully capable of posing a threat to Barcelona and even has the opportunity to bring Barcelona down.

If this team with the lowest average age in La Liga really wins the championship in the end, it would be a grand event in Spanish football.

But some media reporters expressed concern that after all, there are cases where Chinatown is unstoppable. Before Pochettino was coaching, Chinatown once ranked first for a long time, but its performance was unstable in the second half, and its results plummeted, and finally only won fourth place in the league.

But no matter what, Zidane's performance this season is impressive.

However, in the La Liga, the most eye-catching thing is Martino's Barcelona, ​​but this eye-catching thing is that although Martino's team has remained unbeaten and is still at the top of the La Liga, both within the team and fans are not satisfied with him.

The impressive record of 13 matches of 12 wins and one draw is simply a dream for Martino, who is a newcomer and coaching a European team for the first time, but everyone does not seem to be catching a cold, because he did not continue the tradition of Barcelona's passing and controlling balls.

Messi and Ibrahimovic rotated, Pedro was used as a substitute, and played double midfielders, reusing Rakitic...

Martino's various actions have put him in controversy. Even Barcelona players such as Xavi have some doubts about Martino's playing style, especially the tactical way of playing that abandons the ball.

But Martino's attitude was very tough, saying that he would continue to stick to his playing style and would not be shaken.

It can be said that Barcelona's results this season have indeed shocked people, but they are also internal and external troubles.

In any case, after the thirteenth round, La Liga was suspended again and ushered in two weeks of national team competition.

But Gao Han received news from Xiang Tianming from China.

…………

…………

"Just yesterday, the Chinese Football Association officially issued a notice to select coaches."

In the living room of Rafenka Villa, Gao Han used a tablet and Xiang Tianming video far away in Beijing. The latter showed him a document in the video, which was not particularly clear, but when Xiang Tianming turned back, he would send it to Gao Han's email.

"According to the plan listed in this coach selection notice, the head coach who is interested in competing for the new coach of the national football team should submit registration materials to the Football Association within 20 days, and the Football Association will set up a coach selection expert group and a working group to be responsible for screening the registration materials."

"The expert group includes many local coaches who have coached national teams and German football expert Stephen, etc., and the working group is led by the technical department of the Football Association."

Gao Han laughed in silence when he heard this, "Is this going to hold a large-scale job fair?"

"As far as I know, in recent years, the Football Association has not been as rumored by the outside world, but has really carried out a series of reforms. The process and mechanism of single-selected coaches have been borrowed from many experiences in hiring senior executives by large state-owned enterprises, forming a complete set of procedures and systems, with corresponding responsible persons in each link."

Xiang Tianming often deals with the Football Association and must be clearer about these things than Gao Han.

"For example, this time, the entire coach selection process has seven stages, from formulating a plan, collecting registration materials, expert screening, bidding talks, second comparison of the expert group, targeted detailed negotiations, and final leadership decision-making, each process is very clear and transparent, and the direction is also clear."

"Really or false?" Gao Han was a little surprised. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing. He was a little reluctant to believe it, "There is such a mechanism for the Football Association to select coaches?"

This is far from the image of the Football Association he remembers.

"It is indeed the case, and it has been implemented. Every step is following the process and mechanism. Now it has reached the second step."

After hearing this, Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But even so, what can I choose?"

This question really caught Xiang Tianming.

"Just with this registration mechanism alone, I think it is impossible for a truly capable coach to compete for it." Gao Han shook his head.

Others don’t know, but he will never be able to compete for such a handsome position. Wouldn’t he lose his own value?

Not to mention that he is at his level, I am afraid that those first-tier head coaches in the world football who are slightly more famous will not be able to compete for such a position. The reason is very simple. If they succeed, it would be fine, but what if they fail?

"Yes, as far as I know, there are indeed no front-line head coaches. It is said that several foreign head coaches with a little reputation in China have also asked for confidentiality and do not want anyone to know about their competition." Xiang Tianming smiled helplessly and bitterly.

Gao Han can understand this requirement. After all, if the news leaks, it will also be a great loss to their reputation.

This is the necessity of the existence of a broker.

Whether it is a player or a head coach, in this situation, the agent needs to come forward.

"Actually, Camacho's failure has caused great controversy within the Football Association. The annual salary is so high. Although sponsors pay, it is also under a lot of pressure. Now the new coach has no sponsor to pay for it. The Football Association is short of money and can't afford that much money at all, so I never thought about having a famous coach from the beginning."

Xiang Tianming was somewhat ridiculous and helpless.

Gao Han was unwilling to continue to get entangled in this issue, "What's next?"

"The next step is to screen the candidates for the first round according to the actual needs of the national team, eliminate some inappropriate targets, and the rest enter the second round of interviews."

"Interview? How to interview?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

"It is said that members of the expert group will raise various questions, including football philosophy, professional awareness, coaching experience and ability, understanding of Asian football and Chinese football, etc., from the overall situation to the details, all covered, and then uniformly summarized by the working group to form an interview outline."

As soon as Xiang Tianming finished speaking, Gao Han shook his head and laughed, "Then he recruited a large enterprise, invite all the candidates participating in the competition one by one, interview them one by one, and ask all the questions?"

In the video, Xiang Tianming shook his head and laughed, nodded and said that it was that.

"If the head coach of a team can be selected through such a short-term selection and interview, then under such a mature management mechanism in European football, where will the team choose the wrong head coach?"

"Let's take a step back, if those expert groups have the ability to select whether the interviewee has sufficient coaching level by relying on a few questions, then how valuable and technical content should the questions they ask? And how high is the coaching level of experts who can raise such high value and technical content?"

Gao Han's continuous questions made Xiang Tianming speechless and he was speechless.

He really thinks this coaching mechanism is a bit strange.

The simplest thing, such as Gao Han, is absolutely impossible for him to submit his resume and interview.

Not to mention Gao Han, European first-line coaches such as Mourinho, Guardiola, and Lippi cannot accept such a selection mechanism. Isn’t this equivalent to smashing your own signature?

Besides, Gao Han is right. Just a few problems can test whether a head coach is real?

Coaching a team is simple and simple, and it is quite complicated. This is not something that can be tested by a few experts and some questions.

Even if he was like Gao Han, he pushed a rookie like Zidane to the front stage this season, the reason was that Zidane was once the best top superstar in the world, and then studied under Mourinho and Gao Han. After two years of cooperation, Gao Han recognized Zidane's ability and invited him to coach Chinatown.

During the whole process, there was neither a resume nor an interview was required.

"According to the news I have received, the coach selection team will go to Europe at the end of December or January to interview and talk with many candidates, and then they should go to Madrid." This is the focus of Xiang Tianming.

The cooperation between Chinatown and the Chinese Football Association has been prepared for a long time, mainly in youth training.

After the Chinese Football Association arrives in Madrid, it will visit the training base in Chinatown and meet with Spanish Football Association and government officials. Gao Han has made arrangements for this.

Whether it is the Spanish Football Association or the government, they are interested in developing youth training cooperation with China. Gao Han and Chinatown are also happy to see it. After all, this is beneficial to the promotion of La Liga in China and Asia.

According to communication and consultation between Gao Han and the two sides, Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy plans to visit China in 2014, so all three parties intend to promote this cooperation before visiting China, and then elevate the entire football cooperation project to the national level.

As intermediaries, Gao Han and Chinatown will also play a crucial role in the focus of cooperation between the two parties.

"Don't worry, I've handled everything in Spain." Gao Han nodded.

"Well, I will follow the Football Association working group to Europe at that time. I will communicate with you in detail about the specific matters and procedures."

Xiang Tianming said this and looked at Gao Han again, "In addition, a big boss from the Football Association wants to invite you to attend the expert group, look..."

With Gao Han's influence in the world football and domestic China today, if he attends the expert group, it will undoubtedly make the entire coach selection mechanism more authoritative, which means that Gao Han is endorsing the Football Association's coach selection.

But Gao Han himself didn't believe it at all. With such a process, he could really choose a head coach with excellent coaching skills.

Even if it is really selected, can this head coach lead the Chinese national team to achieve good results?

Coaching is not that simple!

Thinking of this, Gao Han shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, you have refused for me. Just say that I have been busy with youth training for a while and cannot be a clone. I will not participate in the selection of a handsome guy."

Gao Han was unwilling to participate in such a controversial incident, which was also his self-protection.

"Okay, I will reply for you." Xiang Tianming nodded. His reply must be more tactful than Gao Han.

"See you then in Europe."

"See you in Europe!"
Chapter completed!
