World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 160 Two Separations
"In that case, the head coach should be Pep, right?" Gao Yuan wondered.

"Pep, as you know, is a typical European assistant coach. The training is okay, but the on-the-spot command is too idealistic and a little indecisive. He is not suitable to be the coach of a side. I have already talked to him. Everything is based on Ye, and he has no objection."

"Is it really okay to do this? When I was in command, was he standing in the coaching area or me? If we both stood up, would the referee give me another red card?" Gao Yuan was still a little worried, because he was really scared by the Saudi referee last time.

"Don't worry, except for Pep's pre-match and post-match press conferences, everything else is up to Yee, and he can direct as he pleases during the game! It's not without precedent. Evergrande's former coach Lee Jang-soo didn't have a PRO certificate and couldn't sign up as a head coach. So the head coach has always been written as assistant coach Li Chunman. It still doesn't affect him winning the championship!"

Gao Yuan was relieved now, and promised: "Thank you for your trust, I will lead the team well!"

Li Xiaopeng nodded in satisfaction, but made another request: "Xiao Gao, I didn't want to put too much pressure on you, but please try my best to win this game. We have never lost in the group stage before, if we can win this game again, and the group will advance first, it will be a great encouragement to the team, and it will also greatly improve the team's living environment.

You may not know that the State Grid has been reducing its investment in recent years, and there have been constant criticisms about state-owned enterprises engaging in football. Therefore, our goal this year is to make a breakthrough in the AFC Champions League.Only by fighting foreign wars well and winning glory for the country can those voices of criticism be quelled and investors' confidence in investment can be strengthened.Do you understand what I mean? "

These words immediately made Gao Yuan feel that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.The general environment of domestic football is not good, and he has heard about the controversy of state-owned enterprises investing in football for a long time, but even Li Xiaopeng admits it himself, which still makes Gao Yuan a little shocked. Is the situation so urgent?I thought it was just an innocuous ordinary game, but I didn't expect it to carry the significance far beyond a football game.

Gao Yuan nodded firmly, "Director Li, don't worry, I will issue a military order for you, and you will definitely win this game!"

Li Xiaopeng patted Gao Yuan on the shoulder and smiled with satisfaction.In the end, I gave Gao Yuan a piece of advice: "Xiao Gao, I don't worry about handling things! You only need to remember one thing when directing the game: There can only be one person who has the final say on a team, and that is the head coach!"

The game against Johor DT is only about two weeks away. During this time, Gao Yuan is mainly in the reserve team, observing players and practicing skills and tactics.

Pep has been in charge of the daily training of the reserve team. He is very familiar with these players and has provided Gao Yuan with many opinions and suggestions.Pep is a good old man who is easy going, and he doesn't have too many complaints or dissatisfaction with Li Xiaopeng's arrangement.

Han Peng and Gao Yuan are old friends, and he just put his arms around Gao Yuan's neck and praised him for his good life, and he can lead the team to the AFC Champions League at a young age.

Because of the cooperation of Pep and Han Peng, coupled with their own system, a lot of work is much easier. The team only needs to follow Gaoyuan's arrangement and train step by step.

During this period of time, two things happened, and Gao Yuan experienced two partings in a short period of time.

One is about the club.Brazilian central defender Gill had to return to his home country due to family reasons, and had to apply to the club to leave the team. The Corinthians of Brazil also made a request for player transfers in due course.

This sudden turn of events shocked the club.For a long time, Gil has been the most stable part of the Tarzan team's defense.The defender with the highest value and transfer fee in the Chinese Super League has caused many big-name forwards of the team to suffer in the past few years. Gil's super ability and low-key and pragmatic personality are also loved by coaches, teammates and fans. He is known as the pinnacle of Taishan's defense.

Now that he is leaving suddenly, the club can't find a suitable replacement in a hurry, and the originally strongest defense has suddenly become a weak link, and even the tactics may have to be changed.

Despite the club's strong retention, Jill's family reasons are force majeure, which cannot be solved by retention and salary increase.

In this regard, the club and the fans only have blessings and reluctance, but no one will have any accusations against Jill.

Over the years, this low-key and friendly foreign aid has shown enough loyalty to the Taishan team and has paid too much for the team.People firmly believe that if it is not for force majeure, he will never leave at this time.

Professional footballers are people too. For a man, football is very important, but family is the first in life.

Therefore, the club expressed sufficient understanding and sincerity for the departure of this meritorious foreign aid, and did not set up any obstacles on the transfer fee, and the transfer negotiations were completed smoothly.The date of Gill's departure has also been determined, and he will return to Brazil after the last round of the first half of the league against Kyoto Guoan.

The other thing is about Xiaoxia, who is leaving too.

Different from Jill's tired bird returning to the forest, the young Xiaoxia is going to a wider world.

Although Xiaoxia has been training with the provincial women's football team, she has not signed a contract.It's not that the provincial women's football team looked down on Xiaoxia. In fact, as soon as Xiaoxia went to the trial training, the coach and teammates were astonished, and they wanted to offer a long-term contract immediately.

The reason why he didn't sign the contract was Gao Yuan's intention.The domestic football environment is too bad, and women's football is even more difficult to survive. It is said to be a professional league, but in fact it is not as good as the previous era of professional teams. At least at that time, there was special support from higher-level financial funds.

Gao Yuan didn't want Xiaoxia Mingzhu to vote secretly. Her talent and talent should bloom on a higher stage, so he first asked Xiaoxia to follow the provincial women's football training and match to maintain her condition;

Finally, news came from the company that the first international business deal was concluded.Xiaoxia joined the European women's football club - FFC Frankfurt as a free agent.

The company sent Xiaoxia's training and game videos to the American Women's Soccer League and many women's football teams in Europe. These clubs were very interested in Xiaoxia's amazing skills, and several teams even sent scouts to inspect Xiaoxia's performance on the spot.After a systematic evaluation by European football professional organizations, Xiaoxia's potential is A+, which is a rare talent in the women's football world.

This led to various clubs competing for Xiaoxia, and offered high-value contracts and quotations one after another. In the end, after careful analysis and evaluation, the company chose FFC Frankfurt, a German powerhouse with not the highest quotation but the best development prospects.

FFC FranKfurt Women's, based in Frankfurt am Rhein, Hessen, Germany, is one of the most successful football clubs in Europe.Not only has she won the Bundesliga Women's Football League many times, but she has also won the Women's Champions League four times and the Women's Champions League runner-up twice. More importantly, the German Women's Professional Football League has developed rapidly in recent years, and the professional atmosphere of the league is very strong. Here, Xiaoxia will have the opportunity to compete with the world's highest-level women's football players on the same stage.

"Why didn't you choose the American Women's Soccer team?" Gao Yuan asked Gao Fushuai worriedly.

"When did you get old? The U.S. Women's Soccer League has long been dead. The WUSA that Sun Wen, Liu Ailing, and Wen Lirong played in the past has long since disbanded. Now the Women's Major League is called NWSL. There are 9 teams in total, and the regular season only has 24 games a year. Now even the tough old ladies of the U.S. women's soccer team have gone to play in Europe! The center of world football will always be in Europe, and men and women are the same. Don't worry, this has been carefully researched by the company, and Xiaoxia will never be fooled!" Shuai pointed out the maze for Gao Yuan.

Only then did Gao Yuan feel relieved, but it was replaced by concern and reluctance for Xiaoxia.

Rationality tells Gao Yuan that Xiaoxia's ability and talent can definitely break through in Europe, which is also the best choice for Xiaoxia's career; but emotion makes Gaoyuan worry about whether Xiaoxia can take care of herself and adapt to the fierce competition of European football while wandering abroad alone.Whether her petite body and weak shoulders can shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing women's football.

Gao Fushuai hosted a banquet to see Jill and Xiaoxia off, and all the people from Quancheng Saturday were present.

When Jill saw Xiaoxia, he was very surprised. He did not expect that the omnipotent short-haired boy in the FA Cup was actually a female player.

"Jill, you don't understand this. In our China, there is a tradition of women disguised as men to fight the enemy in history. In ancient times, Hua Mulan went to join the army in place of her father. Today, there is a women's army carrying guns for the people! There are also female generals of the Yang family, Mu Guiying, Liang Hongyu, and Fan Lihua...all of them are heroic and heroic women who do not give in to men. Taizu and his elders have poems to praise: The Chinese people are so ambitious, they don't like red clothes, but they love armed forces!"

Gao Fushuai chattered wildly, which made Jill admire him.

Jill raised her thumb and said emotionally, "I love China! The scenery here makes me linger, the stories here leave a deep impression on me, and the friends here make me unforgettable forever. By the way, there is also the food here, my favorite old godmother..."

Gao Fushuai smiled and said: "Look at your potential, a bottle of Laoganma will make you obsessed. Give me the address, and I will airlift a few boxes of Laoganma to you! When you want to eat Laoganma, just tell your buddies, I guarantee that your Laoganma will be enough for you in this life!"

Jill hugged Gao Fushuai excitedly, kissed him heavily on the face, and said happily: "Little fat man, you are really my good friend! I have decided that when I retire, I will no longer engage in football work, but will specialize in promoting old godmothers! I want to become the biggest old godmother agent in Brazil, no, in the whole of South America! Oh, God bless old godmothers!"
