Chapter 681 Competition is the most important thing
If there is any special significance to the half-time championship, it is nothing. The media are talking about it, and the fans of Manchester City are also very happy.
But within the Manchester City team, neither the coaches nor the players took this matter too seriously.
A half-time championship without a trophy is nothing. The final league championship is the most important thing.
If Manchester City does not perform well in the second half of the season, it is also possible to be overtaken by their opponents.
Therefore, the team did not relax training.
Since the Premier League has a Christmas game on Christmas Day, players cannot spend Christmas night with their families, so Gao Bo simply organized a Christmas dinner before Christmas.
At the Tianwaitian Chinese restaurant, the players brought their wives, children, and girlfriends to attend in all their costumes!
In the first half of the season, the team performed very well, ranking first in the league, qualifying first in the Champions League group, and the opponent Galatasaray drawn was not too strong. Both the club executives and the players were very excited. This is the happiest Christmas dinner the team has enjoyed in the past few seasons.
At the Christmas dinner, Gao Bo took Haruko to attend.
Vardy and others whistled. They were very familiar with Haruko. When they were in Luton, Haruko was their team doctor.
Now that the head coach and the team doctor are getting involved, Vardy and Adam wink, making the thin-skinned Haruko blush.
At the party, the players became rowdy, and the atmosphere continued into the night.
Anyway, the next day was a holiday, and Gao Bo didn't care how late the players stayed.
After the Christmas dinner, the team officially disbanded. After enjoying the last day of vacation, the players are about to devote themselves to the next game.
The next day, Gao Bo took Haruko around Manchester.
The city of Manchester is not big, and the two of them visited the interesting attractions in Manchester after a day of shopping.
In the afternoon, Gao Bo returned to the residence with Haruko. Before arriving at the house, Gao Bo's cell phone rang.
It's a landline from BJ.
Gao Bo was always unwilling to pay attention to calls from strangers, so he directly hung up the phone.
But a minute later, the call came again.
Gao Bo frowned. This is his private phone number, could it have been leaked?
He is also a celebrity now, and the leak of his private phone is a very troublesome thing for him.
"Let's pick it up." Haruko persuaded.
Gao Bo answered the phone.
"Hello, is this Gao Bogao's director?" On the other end of the phone was a man in his 30s.
"Hi, I am, may I ask who you are?"
"Take the liberty to call, and I hope Haihan." The other side was very polite, "I am Guo Chao, the assistant of the Football Association Chairman Wei Di."
Guo Chao?
Chairman of the Football Association?
Gao Bo was a little surprised.
To be honest, this is the first time that the Chinese Football Association has contacted him through private channels.
For Vidi, the chairman of the Chinese Football Association, Gao Bo is quite influential.
Although the chairman of the Chinese Football Association is the chairman of the Football Association with the lowest sense of presence in recent years.
But in fact, for Chinese football, the lower the presence of the chairman of the Football Association, the better the effect may be.
In people's minds, Vidi's label is four words: mediocrity!
However, those mediocre football association chairmen didn't do anything good.
"High guidance?"
On the other end of the phone, seeing Gao Bo remained silent, he thought Gao Bo just hung up the phone.
Given the reputation of the Football Association among fans, and the fact that there is no connection between the Chinese Football Association and Gao Bo, this possibility cannot be said to be non-existent
"Well, what's the matter with you?"
Gao Bo recovered from his contemplation.
"That's right, Director Gao. The Football Association has a "Star of Hope" program. The purpose is to send a group of young players to study abroad. Most of them are fifteen or sixteen-year-old children. Currently, they plan to send a group to Spain, Portugal, and England. The Football Association hopes to hire Director Gao as the general consultant of the "Star of Hope" program."
Gao Bo knew about the "Star of Hope" plan, but the effect didn't seem to be good.
One of the main problems is that the game of the young players is not systematic.
Although the players were sent out, they were not trained by some really good youth training institutions. According to Gao Bo's understanding, these players usually only train in some teams and have no chance to play. The games usually get together and play in some local low-level leagues.
Gao Bo was not optimistic about this plan, so he directly rejected it.
He bluntly said that he is the head coach of Manchester City, and he is not suitable for holding two roles, and he does not have the energy to do both.
The person on the phone sighed.
Of course, Guo Chao knew that what kind of general counsel position such a super coach should have, can only be said to be his own chairman's whimsy.
This is one of the hottest young coaches in Europe right now.
It can be said that Chinese football is quite lucky to have such a coach. Unfortunately, unfortunately, Gao Bo is just a coach.
If he is a player, it may have a greater boost to Chinese football.
Gao Bo also sighed.
I can be regarded as a football player. Chinese football is not up to date, and my face is also dull.
If he could do something for Chinese football, Gao Bo would certainly not refuse.
"Can you tell me more about the plan?"
Gao Bo asked.
Guo Chao's eyes lit up on the other end of the phone. He thought there was something going on, so he spoke out the contents of the plan like beans in a bamboo tube.
After Gao Bo finished listening, he was silent for a while, and then said.
"Would you like to hear my opinion of the plan?"
Guo Chao is naturally desperate for it.
"Rubbish!!!"
"what?!"
"I said, this is a rubbish plan! The person who appointed this plan is definitely a guy who doesn't understand football or youth training!!"
Gao Bo said without hesitation.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Gao Bo curled his lips. He is not afraid of offending anyone from the Football Association. If the other party can't accept this little criticism, then he doesn't bother to deal with it.
"Why do you make such an assessment?"
Guo Chao on the other end of the phone was indeed aggrieved. He was deeply involved in the formulation of this plan.
He thinks this is a perfect plan. Players receive training with young European players. Isn't this equivalent to using the advanced level of youth training in Europe to train young players for Chinese football?
"Only training, no competition, absolutely no talent!!"
Gao Bo shook his head and said.
"You are training in Europe, how do you solve the game? The game I am talking about is a systematic game. In England, a young player has games all year round. The U-series league and the Youth Cup almost have two games a week. Every player has to participate in at least [-] high-level games a year!!"
"We will also organize training games."
"Not enough, this is far from enough!!"
Gao Bo shook his head and said.
"A ten-day training camp, a surprise game, and then only boring training throughout the year, it's useless at all!!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then Gao Bo heard the sound of the phone being moved.
"Hello, Director Gao, I'm Wei Di." A middle-aged voice.
"Hello there!"
Gao Bo responded neither humble nor overbearing.
"Can I ask, in your opinion, how should this plan be revised?"
"The first thing to implement is the competition. The most important thing is to participate in the local U-series league. If not, training alone will not improve anything."
Gao Bo said.
"Understood! Thank you, Director Gao!!"
After talking, the two hung up the phone.
Gao Bo thought about it, maybe this group of young players might benefit from his remark.
As a Chinese, as a football player, Gao Bo does not reject being able to do something for Chinese football.
Gao Bo sighed.
I hope Chinese football will be better in the future.
