Yunsheng and Gao Bo met once when Juventus visited China last summer. Before that, the two made many phone calls to discuss the status and technical characteristics of Chinese players.
As outstanding young marshals of China, Yun Sheng and Gao Bo cherish each other.
After receiving a call from Yun Sheng today, Gao Bo put aside his strength and determination in front of outsiders and kept sighing: "After these two games, I won't be far from get out of class..."
Yun Sheng comforted Gao Bo a few words. He stopped being polite and got back to the subject: "Director Gao, I watched these two games, and I can't understand something."
Gao Bo humbly asked for advice: "Coach Yunsheng, although I am a few years older than you, you are the expert in football. If you see any problems, I hope you can point them out frankly. I am very grateful."
Yun Sheng thought for a moment and whispered: "If a team has eleven Messis and all of them are sent on the field, what do you think the effect will be?"
"I'm afraid they can't even beat the Chinese national team..." Gao Bo spoke very bluntly, "If that's the case, I will use the low-down cross that the Chinese national team was best at in the 1980s, and then put a bunch of high center forwards in the penalty area. , restore the tradition of 'China's leading team'."
The term "China's top team" originated from the 1980s and 1990s, because the Chinese team was good at letting the speedy midfielders fly together on both wings, and then kick the ball to the center, deploying a powerful center to bomb. Although the success rate of this method is not low, because their skills are relatively crude, they have been ridiculed by countless media as "the Chinese top team that only knows headers."
Unexpectedly, many years later, the single header skill and speed advantage that Chinese football once ridiculed would no longer exist...
Hearing Gao Bo's words, Yun Sheng nodded: "Director Gao, I think you must understand this truth, but why were your formations so sloppy in the games against Iraq and Japan?"
After listening to Yun Sheng's words, Gao Bo sighed: "Coach Yun Sheng, as soon as you said that, I understood what you meant. In fact, the Chinese team was not wronged in these two games. We did not show our best performance at all. Combat power! Look at the midfield and frontcourt, there are just a bunch of big-name offensive players stacked up in the field, which is not the strongest meshing force at all!"
Yun Sheng nodded: "That's what I want to say. The starting lineup of these two games, especially the midfielder, Chen Tao, Wang Chuhe, Hao Junmin and Zheng Zhi, these four players are all offensive players. Although Zheng Zhi defends Yes, but after all, he is not a pure sweeping midfielder, and he does not play his due role in the team's midfield and backcourt. And on the front line, the combination of Dong Fangzhuo and Wu Lei, both of whom are fast horses, can deal with Iraq. The iron barrel formation cannot display its characteristics at all! In the game against the Japanese team, if Yu Dabao had been deployed earlier, maybe the situation of the game would have been different."
Gao Bo sighed softly: "I hope so too, but what can I do? The biggest problem with the Chinese national team now is that I, the head coach, can't decide on the selection list and the starting list! It's really TMD..."
Gao Bo said a dirty word, and Yun Sheng understood immediately: "Those people above are self-righteous again, right?"
Gao Bo sighed even louder: "Those officials said that they are all top European stars. We can't waste them. We must send them as many as possible so that we can win! If coaching the team is as easy as they imagined, then they still need me." What are you doing? Especially in these two games, some players have played in European clubs for a whole year and even returned home with injuries. Forcing them to appear will not have the desired effect at all!"
"Despite this, you can't refuse them, right?" Yun Sheng shook his head repeatedly, "I probably guessed this situation. I called you today to help you with ideas. Regardless of the next game, If you have any useful recruitment suggestions, you can tell me in advance, and then I will make some public remarks in Europe, and then let the familiar domestic media build momentum, which will definitely be helpful to you."
Gao Bo was overjoyed: "That's great! Thank you brother for your help, I'm grateful!"
Yun Sheng and Gao Bo discussed it two months ago, and now it comes in handy.
After Deportivo defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 on September 1, this round of European leagues also ended, and the players returned home to prepare for the national team games.
At this moment, Yun Sheng suddenly made a public comment on the Chinese team's next game.
"For the Chinese team, we must not use the hasty approach of 'using whoever is famous'. This is lazy policy! The team must strictly analyze the opponent's tactics from top to bottom, and also take into account some players If the club's physical condition is average or the condition is not the best, the most reasonable adjustments need to be made so that the Chinese team can regain the initiative to qualify for the top ten games."
Yun Sheng's words immediately received a round of praise from the domestic media in China!
"You're so right! This is the vision of a world-class coach!"
"That's right. The first two losses were caused by the improper employment of the Chinese team, which ultimately resulted in one draw and one loss!"
"Gao Bo alone probably has no say. There may be some high-level arrangements here. I hope that coach Gao Bo can be delegated power and let professional people do professional things!"
Some of the remarks were spontaneously made by the media, and some were arranged privately by Yunsheng.
Yuntian Company, which can even buy "Asian News", has also bought several influential media in China, including online military control and commentary, which Yuntian Company is also doing.
At first Yun Sheng was a little disgusted with these things, but Liu Surong persuaded him: "There is no fault in any knife. As long as it is used well, the knife is a good knife!"
After hearing this, Yun Sheng no longer objected.
This time, these media and public relations companies came in handy to help Gao Bo gain control of the Chinese national team.
Facing Yun Sheng's public comments, Gao Bo also publicly stated: "My views are the same as coach Yun Sheng's, and I also think it should be arranged this way. If I were solely responsible for the selection of personnel, then I would do the same."
As soon as these words were spoken, countless media and netizens became even more imaginative.
What if I am solely responsible?
What do you mean, you can't take full responsibility now?
Could it be that someone at the top of the Football Association interferes with your coaching?
In an instant, conspiracy theories spread frequently on the Internet, making some people unable to sit still.
The Football Association publicly stated: "We fully support Coach Gao Bo's coaching and no one will interfere with the team's personnel selection and game command!"
At this point, Gao Bo's power seizure was completely successful.
Gao Bo called Yun Sheng that night and expressed his gratitude.
However, Yun Sheng was a little helpless: "A national team coach can't have the final say in selection and tactical arrangements? It is really sad to say that he needs to use such messy means and strategies to seize power."
"But having said that, Director Gao, you now have enough rights to arrange the game according to your own ideas. If there is another accident in the next game, no one can help you..."
