In recent days, there has been a news hotspot in Chinese football, and FIFA has awarded the Chinese Football Association 1.6 million US dollars in compensation to the former women's football head coach Bruno's team. Some self-media said alarmist, Chinese football will be banned from the world, in fact, it is not so serious, money must be lost, not banned.
Today, one of the topics I want to talk to you about is, how did this liquidated damages come about? What is the real absurdity of this thing?
Bruno was fired, Why?
Netizens were very indignant when they saw that the Football Association had to pay a penalty of 1.6 million US dollars, which was converted into tens of millions of yuan, and many people who did not know the truth mistakenly thought that this was a great waste of funds. In fact, it is normal for the football circle to pay liquidated damages, and when bruno signed a contract for several years, the termination of the contract must pay the remaining contract salary, unless the contract stipulates that the performance indicators are linked to the execution of the contract.
Is there a restriction clause on performance indicators in the contract between the Chinese Football Association and Bruno? Unknown. But I can say with great certainty that even if the FOOTBALL Association set a very strict performance indicator, Bruno would have reached the standard.
Let's take a look at Bruno's coaching achievements. In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games qualifiers, Bruno led the Chinese women's football team to 3 wins and 2 draws to remain unbeaten, and joined hands with Australia to qualify. This difficulty is much greater than the difficulty of Jia Xiuquan leading the team to enter the Tokyo Olympics, because when Jia Xiuquan led the team, Japan was the host and did not need to participate, and North Korea abandoned the competition, which was equivalent to two places and three teams competing, China, South Korea and Australia. Bruno's qualifiers, with two more rivals from Japan and North Korea, are 5-out-of-2 situations.
To tell you about the background of Bruno's tenure, the women's football team behind the scenes of the golden metabolism is deteriorating, at that time, in the top 5 in Asia, China only has the advantage over South Korea, for the title of Asian champion, the women's football team basically does not have to think about it, and is firmly pressed under the body by others. In the previous London Olympic Games, women's football failed to qualify for the Olympics for the first time. Before Ma Yuanan left office and went to Bruno to coach, the Chinese women's football team replaced 12 head coaches in 14 years.
What is this posture? It was as if no head coach could stop the downward trend of women's football. However, Bruno did it, qualifying unbeaten in the Olympic preliminaries, leaving Japan and North Korea far behind, both in terms of results and scenes. In the Olympic Games, the women's football team and Brazil and Sweden were divided into the death group, with a goal difference advantage to beat Sweden to win the second place in the group, Sweden then won the second place in the knockout round, while the women's football team scored 8 and 4 encountered the later champion Germany, and only lost by one goal.
Such a report card, it is difficult to pick out the fault. However, a miracle happened, and shortly after the Olympic Games, the Football Association suddenly removed Bruno from the position of head coach and replaced him with an adviser, and the dispute arose. Bruno's successor is Ejolsson from Iceland, who has just started classes in half a year, and he is not even a little bit worse than Bruno.
Got it, guys? The contract given by the Chinese Football Association to Bruno was originally very worthwhile, and this liquidated damages were also the normal delays in the contract, which should be paid, that is, he should not be dismissed, and the real wasted funds were the contract for the Icelander.
If the women's football team continued to let Bruno coach, at least it would not take so many detours, and it took a few laps before it reached Shui Qingxia.
The FA's absurd logic of coaching
The Chinese Football Association's selection of coaches is certainly not only absurd for women's football, but also for men's football. It is normal for a coach to be skewed, and any club in the world may appoint an inappropriate manager, but when you have a hard time choosing the right time and the manager delivers an impeccable report card, should you find a way to keep him? The Chinese Football Association is not.
I say two people, one Milu and one Clauschen. Milu led the national football team to the World Cup for the first time in history, and Crowchen led the 85-year-old national youth to kill at the World Youth Championship. Which one stayed? None. Milu was not renewed when his contract expired, and Clauschen was dropped out of class.
The logic of letting Klauchen leave class is very simple: how strong are our 85 team members, Yin Tiesheng and Jia Xiuquan built before and after, and finally Klauchen came over and picked the fruit, with what? And Clauschen's knockout command mistake, 2-3 loss to Germany the scene is vigorous, should honestly shrink back to collect, maybe we will eliminate Germany.
Maybe there are more things, one thing I can be sure of, if the 85 national youth from the beginning in accordance with the Chinese football tortoise logic back to play, let alone play Germany, you can win three consecutive games in the group stage?
Not renewing the contract with Milu, the logic is roughly similar to that of Clauschen after class: first of all, the national football team is very strong, and secondly, with a good draw, you Milu is just a fruit picker. That's right, you Milu did lead the national football team to an overwhelming victory in the top 10, and you don't look at who won? Qatar, UAE, Uzbekistan, Oman. You hurry to pack up the rolls, next!
The next one came, Dutchman Ali Khan, who didn't even score in the final stages of the World Preliminaries, and it is said that the goal difference did not count the Kuwaiti. So, the interesting question is, is Kuwait strong? Why score a goal difference with this team? Do you need to count the goal difference in the Milu Round of 10? When I qualified early, I won 7 games, 6 wins and 1 draw, and only conceded one goal, don't you mean that I milu is just that? How did you come across a little Kuwait and you pitifully count the goal difference?
Since miluton eating Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, uzbekistan is nothing, let's go ahead, the 85th World Preliminary Tournament was eliminated by Hong Kong, the 89th Preliminary Tournament was made by Qatar and the Uae for two black three minutes, the 93rd Preliminary Tournament was eliminated by Yemen, and the 97th Preliminary Round lost to Qatar and lost the initiative. In these four battles, the national football team can enter the World Cup if it can win the key confrontation against the second-rate team. How can you underestimate the gold content of Milu's entry into the World Cup?
Of course, Milu's World Cup is three consecutive defeats, which is a slot point, after all, the Chinese Football Association at that time had a very high self-esteem, Yan Shiduo was very low-key, "win a game, take a point, score a goal." But can't stand Nan Yong, Yang Yimin, these people are surging ah, yesterday watched a video, teacher Zhang Lu talked about the past, "After the Chinese Football Association sent people to investigate the Costa Rican team, they thought that Costa Rica wanted to have no body and no technology. Speaking of this, Teacher Zhang Lu laughed.
Everyone drank like this, and it was normal for Milu to leave class.
How did I become a "thank you blow"?
When Milu left China that year, he actually carried a lot of unfair evaluations, but Xie Hui spoke highly of Milu, which roughly means that only Milu could take the national football team into the World Cup at that time.
In fact, under Milu at that time, Xie Hui was very disappointed, Xie Hui was originally in the top of the Bundesliga top scorer list, for the top ten to delay the future of staying in the ocean, but he had few opportunities to play in the top ten, and Milu did not take him to the World Cup. However, Xie Hui gave Milu a fair evaluation, which shows that Xie Hui has enough perception of good tactics of excellent coaches in the player era. This perception ability, most players in China do not have, Milu period of the national football team poured rice many players, if the players to vote, Milu will be out of class.
The topic finally came to Xie Hui, Xie Hui coached the Dalian team with a mixed old and young class, and the Chinese Super League started quite amazingly, the pace was bright and the playing style was positive. I have completely become "Xie Blow", so to speak, my pursuit of Xie Hui is the kind of pursuit of "victory also loves you, defeat also loves you". Why did I become Xie Fu? It was because he was the first local coach I saw to abandon the concept of Chinese football tortoise and embrace modern football.
The so-called turtle football is the theory I questioned Crowchen earlier: Why do you want to attack? Why not keep it? It is accompanied by the turtle theory from professionals to ignorant fans: the level of Chinese players is too low, not suitable for advanced tactics, not suitable for excellent coaches. It's like a child with poor grades, and instead of finding a good school and a good teacher for him, parents ask around, where is the school rotten? Where are the teachers poor? A student with a very poor physique said that he was not good enough to exercise.
At the press conference, a reporter asked Xie Hui, "Will the physical problem affect the implementation of this style of play of dalian team?" Xie Hui's answer is very clear, only by playing fast, you can get faster and faster, play slowly, and never get faster.
Dare not attack, the pace is slow, this is the stubborn disease of Chinese football. In the first year of A A, Xu Genbao took over Shenhua, shanghai players who were accustomed to exquisite football could not accept the rush to encircle, the old players mutinied collectively, Xu Genbao was forced to promote a group of young people from the sports school, and as a result, he won the A A championship. At that time, there was no shortage of good players in Chinese football, but the pace was too slow, and Xu Genbao could not find the north. They all think that they are technical football, and they are earth turtles, but in fact, they are earth turtles.
The concept of Chinese football not daring to attack is the sequelae of being eliminated by Hong Kong in the 1985 World Preliminary Tournament, and the lesson summed up at that time was, "You can qualify by drawing a draw, but under the pressure of fans and public opinion, you have to attack and lay the foundation." "The national football team had just won the second place in the Asian Cup at that time, and when it came to Hong Kong, it actually had to die? Have you ever seen Japan and South Korea draw a draw that can qualify and meet Palestine to die? Originally it was a turtle, looking for a reason more earth turtle, since then generation after generation of turtles, decades of want to defend, never kept, today, has lost the offensive instinct.
I never expected that in 1994, Xu Genbao snatched a random robbery, grabbing the A A opponent at a loss; 28 years later, when the super foreign aid has left, Chinese football is still the virtue of slow and procrastinating, Xie Hui's quick play, still works. In the past 28 years, what has Chinese football done? The turtle is still the turtle.
The fundamental problems of Chinese football have nothing to do with the general environment, have nothing to do with youth training, and have nothing to do with the Football Association, but are caused by decades of holding the concept of turtles and not letting go. The earth turtle is incorrigible, the environment is good, the youth training is good, the FOOTBALL Association is wise, you are still such a turtle, no one can take you.
Xie Hui said very clearly that he was a take-ism, these things have been abroad for more than ten years, and Japan and South Korea have been doing this from top to bottom. Football, like all other sports, the core is training, not to mention other things with a false head, the training level and training intensity have gone up, and Chinese football will naturally get better.
With the first Xie Hui, there will be a second and a third, more and more people are saying goodbye to the turtle, and there is hope for Chinese football. But remember, Xie Hui was the first person who didn't want to be a turtle.
Turtles, stop trying to do independent research and development behind closed doors, raise your head and look out.
