The game was over, the final score was 0-0, neither side could score, and the game ended in a draw.
However, the next contest between the two sides will be held at Dingtian's home court, which is not an optimistic thing for Jeonbuk Hyundai. In this level of competition, given the strength comparison between the two sides, it is almost impossible for Jeonbuk Hyundai to win at the home court of Dingtian Club.
For Jeonbuk Hyundai, the only good news is that Dingtian did not score a goal in the away game, so in the next game, Jeonbuk Hyundai can advance as long as it scores a goal or a draw.
On the special plane back home, Harman and several core members of the coaching team sat together to make a preliminary summary of the just-concluded game.
Haman looked at the notepad in his hand and said: "The third-line battle is indeed too taxing on the players. Judging from this game, we have exposed the shortcomings of insufficient lineup depth. League, cup, and Asian games." Championship, this puts a lot of physical exertion on our main players and increases the chance of injury. Regarding this, I will raise it with the club, but if we want to change this, we need to wait until next season. This season we can only Keep at it.”
"We have several players who need to be evaluated for injuries, so in the next league, I plan to let some of the main players take a rest. With our current record, if we win the next game, it is very likely that we will win the league championship early. . Of course, it depends on our competitors whether they will give us a chance. If they also win, then the competition for the league championship will continue."
Haman said, closed his little notebook, turned to ask Claude: "What do you think of Dai Li?"
"What are you referring to?" Claude asked immediately.
Haman smiled slightly: "Our team has not had new blood join for a long time."
Everyone present showed surprised expressions. They never expected that Haman actually planned to recruit Li Dai.
In football, there is a big gap between Asian players and European players, and the level gap between Asian football coaches and European football coaches is even greater. It is true that there are many excellent football coaches in Asia, but compared with Europe, there is no advantage at all.
For example, a certain Asian coach is very capable and has a very high level. He is the best in Asia and can even compete with European coaches. But if this Asian coach is placed in Europe, he will not be so dazzling. Because there are European coaches of the same high level, maybe a dozen or twenty.
This is like putting a giant panda in an ordinary zoo. Then it will definitely be the star of the zoo and get the most attention. Many people will even buy tickets specifically to see the giant panda. But if the same giant panda is placed in a giant panda base with dozens of giant pandas, it will no longer stand out.
In the same way, if those well-known European coaches choose team members, they will definitely look for them within Europe. Even if the ability and level of an Asian coach meet the standards of European coaches, they cannot look far away to find an Asian coach. , because Europe has talents of the same level.
Therefore, if Asian coaches want to have a place in Europe, it is not enough just to reach the level of European coaches. If your abilities are equal, there is no reason for them to use you. Asian coaches must be better than European coaches in order to be in Europe. occupies a place on the coaching team.
This is like table tennis. The reason why domestic table tennis coaches can stand up when they go abroad is because their level is much higher than that of foreign coaches.
So when Haman expressed his intention to recruit Li Dai, everyone showed shocked expressions. Hamann was indirectly admitting that Dai Li was more capable than European coaches.
Claude thought for a few seconds before speaking first; "Coach Li Dai is indeed outstanding in physical training, comparable to excellent European physical coaches, but he also has some shortcomings, such as he only speaks English, and English The level is also relatively average.”
In addition to English, these European coaches here can more or less master two or three other languages, such as German, French, Italian, Spanish, etc. They basically have no problem communicating with European players, like It was Haman, and he knew four languages. In contrast, Dai Li doesn't know any other languages except Chinese and English, and he doesn't speak English very smoothly.
Next to him, team doctor Maraloni said: "Coach Li Dai's massage techniques are amazing. He also showed it to us in the last game, so I very much welcome him to join our medical team."
Claude glared at Maraloni with some dissatisfaction, thinking to himself that before this person came, you started poaching people from me.
Assistant coach Drasso smiled knowingly, and then changed the topic: "As far as I know, Dai Li signed a one-year contract with Dingtian Club, and there are still three months left before the end of the contract. I I heard that coach Li Dai was introduced by the team’s shareholders, and based on his performance, it is definitely a sure thing to get the club’s contract extension. I think Li Dai will definitely stay in the club next season. And we There is still one year left in the contract with Dingtian Club."
"I understand what you mean." Haman nodded slightly: "What you mean is that next season, let the club renew the contract with Li Dai first, so that we can continue to use Li Dai and save money for the team."
The Harman team came to Dingtian Club as a whole. The salary of each member of the team was finally determined after strict calculation and negotiation. At present, the annual salary of the Harman team, except Harman himself, is increased. It amounts to almost 10 million euros. If there is one more person, there will definitely be an additional increase in expenses.
Delaso showed a "you understand me" expression and continued: "Li Dai signed a contract with Dingtian Club. This does not affect our use of him. After one year, if we do not renew the contract with Dingtian Club, that When the time comes, we can extend an invitation to Dai Li, and I believe he will not refuse."
…
Dai Li suddenly felt that the foreigners on the Harman team had a much better attitude toward him.
Especially team doctor Maraloni. When he saw Dai Li in the past, he would only say hello. But now, Maraloni will always talk to Dai Li for a few words, and even take the initiative to discuss players with Dai Li. He recovered and asked Dai Li for his opinion. Before that, this kind of thing was a topic discussed by members of the Harman team. Coaches hired by clubs like Li Dai could only listen at most and had no right to speak, let alone ask for opinions. .
At this time, the Chinese Super League is coming to an end, and Dingtian Club has a clear advantage in points. In the next 27th round of the Chinese Super League, Dingtian Club is likely to win the league championship in advance. Of course, this depends on whether the second-ranked opponent in the league gives Dingtian a chance.
In the 27th round of the league, the opponent was a mid-range team, and coach Harman did not send all the main players. In the end, Dingtian narrowly defeated the opponent 2-1.
At the same time, the second-ranked team in the league lost, allowing Dingtian to defend the league championship three games ahead of schedule.
This is obviously good news for Dingtian. They no longer have to worry about the league, and their main players do not need to continue to appear in the league. They can concentrate on preparing for the AFC Champions League finals.
…
In the office, Dai Li held a thick instruction manual in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. The screen of the mobile phone displayed a certain translation software.
The Dingtian Club has just imported the latest training equipment from Europe. The operation interface is all in English, and it is quite complicated. The manual alone is almost as thick as a dictionary. Even the foreigners on the Harman team have to study it for a long time. Figure out how to use it.
For Dai Li, it will take more effort to master the use of the new training equipment. Although the instructions are translated into multiple languages, including English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish, there is no Chinese. translate. Many of the professional terms or special titles made Dai Li feel dizzy. He had to hold the translation software and read the contents of the manual.
Unknowingly, it was getting dark. Dai Li stood up, stretched, and yawned a little tiredly.
"This instruction manual is difficult to read and understand. I'd better go to the training room and actually operate the new equipment."
Dai Li thought of this, took the instruction manual, and walked towards the training room.
From a distance, Dai Li saw that the lights were still on in the training room.
"Didn't you turn off the lights? Is there still someone here?" Li Dai shook his head: "At this time, there shouldn't be anyone here!"
This is a professional football club, not an institutional training team. Although the players' salaries are much higher than those of the national team's athletes, in terms of training hours, the club's players are really not as good as the national team's athletes.
Players in the club are more like an ordinary commute. They arrive at the training ground on time in the morning and go home on time from get off work in the afternoon. Additional training is often done during holidays or weekends. In our news reports, we often see a certain star doing extra training on his days off, but we rarely see a certain star not going home after get off work and still staying in the team to practice.
Members of the Harman team usually go to and from get off work on time. Europeans are often unwilling to work overtime even if they are offered overtime pay. For example, team doctor Maraloni is Italian. He is thinking about finding a place to relax and vacation every day. Asking him to work overtime is like killing his parents, which will definitely create a deep hatred.
When Dai Li was in the National Table Tennis Team, working overtime was the norm, but not working overtime was an exception. There were many crazy people in the National Table Tennis Team who worked sixteen hours a day, and there were also many athletes who took the initiative to train more. After Li Dai joined Dingtian, he gradually got used to this culture of not working overtime.
So when Dai Li saw that the lights were still on in the training room, his first reaction was not to turn off the lights.
However, walking a little further, Dai Li heard voices coming from the training room.
"Someone! Who is it? It's already dark and you haven't left yet? It's definitely not those foreigners, they are not that diligent!" Dai Li was thinking about it, then walked into the training room halfway and looked around.
"It's Mr. Xiao!"
On a treadmill, a beautiful figure came into Dai Li's eyes.
That was Xiao Yunan in sportswear.
