Officially arrived!
Gao Hongbo, 57, fully took over Chen Jiayuan and took charge of the national football team.
In the latest round of anti-corruption and anti-gang sweep in football, Chen Jiayuan and Du Zhaocai, the two top leaders of the football association, were investigated at the same time, indicating that there has been serious corruption within the football association in recent years.
In order to avoid stagnation, the General Administration of Sports sent leaders to form a seven-member temporary working group, of which Li Yingchuan was the leader.
Gao Hongbo and Sun Wen are vice presidents of the Football Association and are highly regarded.
Today, Gao Hongbo has been appointed as the captain of the preparation team for the new season of the Super League, and is also responsible for six main groups, including youth training, competition, and refereeing.
It can be said that with the determination of the referee's work, Gao Hongbo is gradually approaching the role of the head of the football association, presiding over the relevant work of the national football team, and standing in the center of the stage.
Gao Hongbo, who was previously unknown, is now entrusted with a heavy task, which will bring him a new challenge.
The change of the leadership of the Football Association is very crucial to the development of Chinese football in the future.
For the international players, they are now completely unable to enjoy the dividends of the Golden Dollar football period, and the most obvious change is the significant reduction in salaries.
Now 35 years old, Zhao Mingjian was once a popular international footballer.
In 2017, when he transferred from Shandong Taishan to Hebei Huaxia Happiness, the transfer fee was as high as 80 million yuan.
You can also enjoy an annual salary of 15 million yuan, which translates to a monthly salary of 1.25 million yuan, which is comparable to entertainment stars.
Recently, after Zhao Mingjian joined Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Club, he revealed that his current monthly salary is only more than 10,000 yuan, and he basically has no income after excluding rent and daily expenses.
As Mr. Lu Xun famously said: "Life is too comfortable, work will be burdened by life".
If a person can easily enjoy all the luxury consumption without having to work hard, then is he still motivated to do things?
The answer is no.
Because human nature is inherently cheap, everyone has inertia, and if they can be lazy, they are lazy.
It is worth mentioning that Gao Hongbo, the head of the current football association, is also a model of counterattack in life.
He was born into a poor family when he was a child, and if he hadn't met Xu Genbao, he would probably have become an ordinary migrant worker when he grew up.
Later, after entering the field of football, he won many championships with his hard work and talent.
However, due to perennial injuries, he finally retired at the age of 31 in the prime of his career.
Later, Gao Hongbo followed Xu Genbao to learn how to be a coach, and soon broke into the world alone in the domestic football league.
In his early 30s, he coached the Chinese Super League team Xiamen Blue Lions, becoming the youngest manager in the history of the Chinese Super League.
In 2009, at the age of 43, he became the 25th head coach of the national football team through an open competition, and the youngest manager in the history of the national football team.
After that, he took advantage of various opportunities to study in Europe and led the national football team to the round of 12 by chance, but then he was disgraced and defeated by capital twice.
However, as long as a person keeps shining, he will always be seen by others.
Now, having been diligent all his life, he has finally seized this opportunity and become the true helm of the Football Association.
The era that belongs to Gao Hongbo has finally arrived.
I hope that he will not forget his original intention, work hard, move forward bravely, and lead the national football team to a new level.
