Football Manager: Use The Second Division Team To Beat The National Football Team At The Beginning

After the game, Qi Dong led the team back to Linjiang Sanhe overnight.

The reason why Qi Dong is so anxious is not to save money. Every away game, Qi Dong can fly almost as much as possible to reduce the fatigue of the players' travel.

On the one hand, even though the players live in a hotel, their rest is not very good. It is far better than sleeping soundly in a youth apartment.

The fatigue of Linjiang Sanhe players largely comes from traveling on the road during away games.

On the other hand, tomorrow is the day when Qi Dong and Zhao Min will conduct interviews for the first batch of coaches recruited by the football school. Qi Dong will receive these coaches together with Su Zhe, Fan Yi, Li Siyou and others.

The choice of coach is Qi Dong's top priority in the football school.

According to Qi Dong's plan, the coaching staff of the football school is divided into four teams.

There are four major sections: children's team under 13 years old, youth team between 13-16 years old, youth team between 16-18 years old, and reserve team over 18 years old.

The children's team and youth team are equipped with a coaching staff, and the youth team and reserve team are each equipped with a coaching staff.

Each coaching staff includes the head coach, assistant coach, physical coach, goalkeeper coach and team doctor.

The youth team aged 16-18 and the reserve team aged 18 and above can serve as Linjiang Sanhe's echelon team and become the talent reserve of the home team.

Because of matters involving the coaching staff of the football school, Fan Yi even declined the post-game invitation from Xingzhitianxia head coach Li Xu.

On May 28, Qi Dong gave the players who came to Liangang a day off to rest. The main players of Team B were trained by captains Hao Chao and Chen Yuan to prepare for the FA Cup match at home against Xijiang Lushan on June 1.

The interview was held in the conference room of the former primary school office building. Qi Dong, Su Zhe, Li Siyou, Chu Tiankuo and Zhao Min had prepared early, but Fan Yi was mysterious and said he was going to pick up a mysterious figure.

There were only twelve football coaches who came to participate in the interview. Qi Dong took advantage of the system and could read each person's coaching style and ideas, and screened them out across the entire network. They had communicated with each other in advance, and finally formed these twelve coaches. Coaching staff list.

They are mainly retired players because most of them have many years of experience in youth training.

Now it's called an interview, but it's actually more like sitting together and chatting about their opinions on coaching ideas. Unexpectedly, Su Zhe knew a few of them very well.

Generally speaking, Su Zhe is quite satisfied with the twelve people selected by Qi Dong. If it were not for the Football Association Cup that Qi Dong wanted to create a miracle that had not happened in China, Su Zhe would have wanted to join a football school.

Qi Dong certainly has the idea of ​​​​borrowing the names of Fan Yi, Su Zhe, and Li Siyou to suppress the arrogance of these coaches.

Everyone talked and basically finalized the matter of working in the football school.

Li Tianming, a former national football player and retired player who has played for the super team for many years, serves as the head coach of the echelon team and manages the coaching staff of the echelon team.

Former international player Zhang Rui serves as the head coach of the youth team and is responsible for managing the youth team coaching staff.

Li Tianming and Zhang Rui were also Fan Yi's former teammates in the national team, and were considered the two most famous stars on the coaching staff. It took a lot of effort from Qi Dong, Fan Yi and others to persuade them to come.

Retired player Wang Lianghong serves as the head coach of the youth and children's groups, and manages the coaching team of the youth and children's groups.

Although Wang Lianghong is not as famous as Li Tianming and Zhang Rui, he has five years of coaching experience in the children's team.

A few people were talking and were about to have lunch together when Fan Yi came in with an old man.

"Director Xu?"

The person Fan Yi brought was his old mentor Xu Baogen.

Qi Dong was stunned, and Su Zhe and others stood up together with the people in the room to show respect for Xu Baogen.

In China's chaotic, complex and lack of purity football environment, if one is willing to take root in the development of youth football, if one wants to find the most representative or the most inspiring person, Xu Baogen should be the most worthy of respect. A wise man in football talent development.

As a player, Xu Baogen was active from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. In 1975, at the age of 31, Xu Baogen chose to retire and bid farewell to his role as a football player.

After retiring, Xu Baogen began his career as a football coach, focusing on the training and development of young players, and changing his identity to contribute to Chinese football. Xu Baogen worked hard for the Shanjin Provincial Team and the Southern Yunnan Provincial Team for many years. It was not until 1987 that he was promoted to the national team and served as the coach of the National Second Team (the predecessor of the National Olympic Team).

In 1989, as the coach of the second national team, Xu Baogen led a group of young players to win the national league championship that year, shocking the football world. Fan Yi was one of Xu Baogen's disciples at that time.

After the start of the professional league in 1994, Xu Baogen returned to his hometown of Shanghai and led Shanghai Honghua to the highest peak in the professional league in team history, and at the same time brought out a group of outstanding Shanghai football talents.

In the early days of League A, Xu Baogen was famous in Chinese football for his pressing tactics that were ahead of his time.

In the 1995 League A, Xu Baogen reached the peak of his coaching career. That year, he made creative moves, such as letting central defender Fan Yi play the forward position, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness of Shencheng Honghua. That season, they ranked first with 46 points and won the championship, with the highest number of goals scored and conceded in the league. good.

Xu Baogen and Fan Yi also won three awards that year: Best Coach, A Golden Ball, and League Golden Boot.

But then, after Wang Jianling invested in Liangang Qianda, after the funds were in place and the signings were strong, the momentum of the league surpassed Shencheng Honghua.

In 1997, Shanghai Honghua set a long-term policy of hiring foreign head coaches, so the meritorious coach Xu Baogen was removed from the team.

In the first year after leaving the team, Xu Baogen led Yangcheng Songri from Class B to Class A.

In 1998, Xu Baogen led Liangang Qianda to win the A-A championship and reach the final of the Yaya Club Cup that year, which was regarded as a special revenge against his old club Shencheng Honghua.

Because subsequent results could not be maintained, Xu Baogen left Liangang Qianda in 1999.

Since the start of the professional league, Xu Baogen has deeply realized the importance of cultivating young players for Chinese football and the fun in it.

Then in 1995, he founded his own football club-Shencheng Cable 02. The 02 in the team name means that Xu Baogen hopes to produce international talents from here before the arrival of the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan.

In 2002, Xu Baogen personally disbanded Shanghai Cable 02, and the team entered history.

Xu Baogen has also achieved his original goal of building the team. Central defender Du Wei, who entered the 2002 national football squad, is an elite representative who came out of Shanghai Cable 02 team.

In 2000, Xu Baogen founded the Baogen Football Base in Chongming Island, Shanghai. At that time, he basically spent all his savings on this football school, just to lay the foundation of this football school.

As time went by, when he saw the first batch of young seedlings grow up and mature, Xu Baogen approached Shanghai East Asia Group to express his hope to create a "Chinese Manchester United" cooperation idea.

Shanghai East Asia (the predecessor of Shanghai Harbor Team) club was officially established in 2005 and started from the Chinese Second Division. Ever since, Xu Baogen came out again, as an investor + coach + club general manager, taking the football teenagers he personally led to compete in the professional arena.

It only took two years for Shanghai East Asia to be promoted from the Second Division to the First Division. Since then, Xu Baogen has faded out from the coaching position, but remains the club's chairman and important decision-maker.

In 2013, Shanghai East Asia successfully promoted to the Super League, and the Haigang Group acquired the team. Xu Baogen, who was already very old, also began to fade out of the first-line team and assumed the position of consultant for the team.

The Baogen Football Base founded that year is still in operation today and has been regarded as a pioneer in the industry. It has historically exported many outstanding players.

In 2015, Xu Baogen also acquired the Lorca Football Club, a Spanish third-tier league team. While investing in football, he hoped to provide young players with a satellite team space for overseas training.

However, due to lack of experience in operating teams overseas, Lorca suffered serious losses and was disbanded two years later. Xu Baogen's youth training overseas satellite training ground plan also fell through.

Taking stock of the beloved disciples brought out by Xu Baogen, Fan Yi will not talk about 460 for the time being.

Wu Lei, the current top brother of the national football team,

In the German second division, Xie Hui, who won the silver boot,

Du Wei, who won the title of Young Player of the Year by the Asian Football Confederation and the starting central defender of the national football team in the World Cup,

"The number one player in China in the Champions League" Sun Xiang,

As well as Zhang Linfan, Yan Ling, Wang Yanchao... and so on, there are many football talents trained by Xu Baogen who are still active in the Chinese football world.

The arrival of Fan Yi and Xu Baogen surprised everyone.

But the talents Xu Baogen has cultivated for Chinese football deserve a standing ovation.

Qi Dong, Su Zhe, Li Siyou, Li Tianming, Zhang Rui and others greeted Xu Baogen one after another.

This is a veteran figure in Chinese football!

"Xiao Fan told me that he saw the future of Chinese football in Linjiang Sanhe. I couldn't help but be curious and watched a few games of Linjiang Sanhe. It was very good and I had some ideas.

I didn’t ask Xiao Fan to say hello to you this time, so come and see, you are Coach Qi Dong. w

The 79-year-old Xu Baogen is still very strong and strong, and his tone of voice is not slow but loud, with the unique accent of Shanghainese.

Qi Dong remembered a meme on the Internet that Chinese football has no future.

But this cannot be said in front of this old man who is obsessed with football and has contributed to Chinese football.

Qi Dong and Su Zhe quickly stepped forward and helped Xu Baogen sit on the throne to show their respect.

"Master, please take a seat quickly. We are so honored to have you here."

Fan Yi said with a smile: "I told the old man, and the old man put down what he was doing and flew over alone without telling his family.

Qi Dong, don't blame me for not saying hello. I thought that our football school still lacked a general consultant, so I invited my old mentor here. "

Qi Dong was overjoyed: "What did Director Fan say? It's such an honor for us, Linjiang Sanhe, that Mr. Xu can come! If the old man serves as the general consultant, our football school will definitely become a success."

In the shadow of a famous tree, Xu Baogen's current influence in Chinese football is far beyond that of Qi Dong. .
