Technical Director of Beijing Football Association, Technical Director of Genbao Base; After leaving the Chinese Football Association, Gao Hongbo did not return to the front line of coaching. Considering that he is already 58 years old, and in Chinese football, there are indeed relatively few coaches who are over 58 years old and still coaching on the front line;
For Gao Hongbo to coach the national football team twice, if the second time was a bad game in the top 12, it is a "broken dream" for Gao Hongbo personally! Then the national team in the first phase of high school, the top 20 match was won, whether it was Gao Hongbo personally, or most of the players of that team, and even the majority of fans, they left endless regrets.
The vast majority of Chinese fans have misunderstandings about the senior national team.
1. The newcomer behind the king of friendly matches plays with his life
The senior national team has a nickname - the king of friendly matches!
Although this nickname mainly comes from the "ridicule" after the end of the Asian Cup in 11. But ending a 32-year winless streak against South Korea and a warm-up win over France, the King of Friendlies left a lot of good memories for the majority of fans.
And with the king of friendly matches, it is a rare national brand in recent years that emphasizes taking the ground and taking the technical route, and can play exquisite cooperation. It was a team where all the players were willing to play hard in training, in games, and eager to represent the national team, and it was a young, energetic, positive and united team.
The reason why the team's mental outlook and game content are different from each other comes from the big change.
In the first phase of the senior national team, the two batches of 85 and 87, the last players who can show their hands at the Asian level of Chinese youth training have been collectively put on the front line. The average age of the Chinese team that played in the 11-year Qatar Asian Cup was less than 24 years old.
One of the benefits of being younger is that most of the players on that team have been in the league for less than two years, so they haven't made a lot of money. So when the national team recruited them, they were eager to pass the gold plate of the national team, and they were willing to work hard for Gao Hongbo and execute according to Gao Hongbo's requirements!
2. You can't use OR, it's not easy to use! Gao Hongbo repels the veteran rumor
Because of the need to be younger, some veteran players naturally left the national team, which also caused Gao Hongbo to be criticized a lot. However, there are some criticisms that are entirely based on the nonsense of public opinion.
In the first year of the high school national team, he repeatedly proposed to call Xu Yunlong back, but Xu Yunlong at that time clearly refused to play for the national team.
He recruited Shao Jiayi many times, but after Shao Jiayi played fewer games in Germany in the later period, and his state could not be guaranteed, Gao Hongbo and Shao Jiayi had an agreement that when they waited until the World Preliminaries, Shao Jiayi's state could return to the national team as long as his state was guaranteed.
Gao Hongbo's so-called "prejudice" against Zheng Zhi is one of the most famous rumors in the history of Chinese football!
At the beginning of the first phase of high school, Gao Hongbo entrusted him with important tasks. But what about the result? Let Zheng Zhi play center back, he is a colander on the field. Let him play in midfield, and miss a penalty in the Asian Cup qualifiers.
Because he couldn't play in Europe at that time, Zheng Zhi's state was too poor, so Gao Hongbo abandoned him for a while; When Zheng Zhi returned to China to join Evergrande, Gao Hongbo called Zheng Zhi back in the 11-year friendly match and the World Preliminary Tournament against Laos. But how did Zheng Zhi do it? All the Laos are water skiing on it.
So when it comes to the national team in the second year of high school, in Zheng Zhi's position, Gao Hongbo is more willing to believe in Hao Junmin and Huang Bowen.
As for Li Weifeng, it's not that Gao Hongbo didn't want to recruit back then; But after the end of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, while many events were celebrated, Chinese football could only hold a criticism conference. At the criticism meeting, two players were named, one was Li Weifeng and the other was Tan Wangsong, these two people were directly characterized as "insulting national character"! Li Weifeng was removed from the national team.
Then why did Li Weifeng come back during the Camacho period? Because the one who criticized Li Weifeng for "insulting the national character" retired in July 2010. After a period of "precipitation", when Camacho took office, Li Weifeng briefly returned.
As for why Gao Hongbo didn't recruit China Sun? In the last game of the group stage of the 07 Asian Cup, when Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng were suspended, the Chinese Sun told the coaching staff that if anyone played, he would not play with whoever he played; Just such a player who has basically not played any positive role in the national team over the years, why did he recruit him?
3, the Asian Cup training was approved by Wei Di, Gao Hongbo wanted to give Feng Xiaoting a "lesson"
The turning point of the national team in the first phase of high school was the 11th Asian Cup, and the "Asian Cup Training" began to become a joke!
But in fact, the Asian Cup training is, of course, Gao Hongbo's idea, and it is Wei Di who makes the decision.
In fact, when Gao Hongbo took over the national team in 09, he formulated a five-year plan to complete the cycle of the World Cup in Brazil (2014). He has a clear plan for what he will do in each of the five years, what kind of opponent he will lead the national team to warm up with every year, when to adjust the defense and when to adjust the offense.
When he regarded entering the 14-year World Cup as the college entrance examination, the 11-year Asian Cup was naturally a mock exam for the national football team, which was the origin of the training.
At that time, Gao Hongbo felt that since it was a mock exam, he had to try as much as possible. So in order to teach Feng Xiaoting, the main central defender who had a somewhat loose attitude, a lesson, Gao Hongbo deliberately did not take Feng Xiaoting to the Asian Cup at that time. But Zhao Peng, who replaced Feng Xiaoting, performed a disaster in that Asian Cup.
Also in order to make more attempts, Hao Junmin, the top brand of the national football team at that time, played as a substitute in the first two games of the group stage. And when it came to the life-and-death battle against Uzbekistan, he tried Wang Song again.
But when the Asian Cup was defeated, when Ma Dexing and Liu Jianhong took the lead in attacking Gao Hongbo, the voice of demanding Gao Hongbo's dismissal from class intensified, and Wei Di, who was making decisions on the training, did not admit it under great pressure.
4. "Profit first" sounded the death knell
After the 11-year Asian Cup, the change of coach of the national football team began to be noisy; But for various reasons, after the Chinese Football Association missed a series of favorite candidates, when Gao Hongbo led the team to play Laos in Kunming to start the journey of the World Preliminaries, if Wei Di can call the shots, it will be Gao Hongbo who has been leading.
But all the turning points came when the then AFC president Hamman was removed and Zhang Jilong became the acting president of the AFC.
After Zhang Jilong took the position, the principle of drawing lots for the Asian group of the World Preliminary Tournament was changed from the original classification according to the results of the past two World Preliminary Tournaments to the classification according to the FIFA ranking.
After this change, the Chinese team, which could only be ranked in the third pot at the time of the draw; took advantage of the high school to frequently brush up points in warm-up matches and became a seeded team.
That is, when the Chinese team was determined to become the seeded team of the top 20 competition, everyone knew very well that the Chinese team would draw a good draw in the top 20 competition, and some people wanted to pick peaches and began to carefully plan Camacho to replace Gao Hongbo.
At the first time when the draw for the top 20 was drawn, Prince Ali of Jordan in front of him found Zhang Jilong and told Zhang Jilong that this group must be our two teams (China and Jordan) working together to qualify. At that time, Zhang Jilong and Prince Ali had already begun to think about how to work together to get rid of Iraq.
In the rear, Ma Dexing said directly in Beijing Taiwan at that time - if I go to lead (the national football team), I can qualify.
Why did Ma Dexing say such big words? Do you really think he's so stupid that he doesn't know how many pounds and taels he has?
At that time, Camacho had already been operational, and the person who operated Camacho to China was "Sports Weekly".
Of course, when Ma Dexing said that, there may also be elements of "communiqué personal vendetta". In that year, another reporter in the sports world once told Ma Dexing - "Gao Dao (Gao Hongbo) said that you sold the information of the Chinese team to the West Asians". The fact is that Gao Hongbo did not say that, but the contradiction between Ma Dexing and Gao Hongbo gradually became irreconcilable.
This irreconcilable contradiction, as soon as the national team lost to Syria in the second year of high school, when Mr. Ma pulled a CCTV camera to smoke, he scolded Gao Hongbo for ten minutes, and the swear words were not repeated.
As for Liu Jianhong, another "inverted pioneer", one of the statements that can be confirmed is that Gao Hongbo was often interviewed by Beijing TV and often refused to be interviewed by CCTV, and Gao Hongbo can be said to be the coach in China who does not give Liu Jianhong the most face. Another unconfirmed statement is that it is rumored that Liu Jianhong received 0.01 small goals in the process of toppling Gao Hongbo to praise Camacho (again, unconfirmed rumors).
When Ma Dexing, Liu Jianhong and others set off a wave of boss changes, a certain Wanda veteran also pleaded with Boss Wang to come up with a bad idea of picking peaches. In the end, Boss Wang personally came forward, bypassing the Football Association to put pressure on the above, and Cai Zhenhua personally made the decision to change the coach, and Gao Hongbo left the field in regret.
Everyone knows the story after that, after Camacho took office, the national football team carried out a major reshuffle in terms of technical and tactical play and personnel use, and the team's combat effectiveness quickly collapsed... That is, from the moment Camacho led the team out of the top 20, he completely lost the trust of the players, until the 615 defeat to Thailand, and a phone call came down from above, asking the Football Association to take Camacho immediately.
For the victory of Gao Hongbo in the battle back then, in fact, Lao Cai had a reflection, and this is why Gao Hongbo will enter the palace for the second time in 16 years.
But Gao Hongbo is a very suspicious person after all, which indirectly "causes" the final stage of the second year of high school, and he and Cai Zhenhua tear their faces.
Before the top 12 match in the second year of high school, Xu BOSS had already gone to Xi'an to talk to Lao Cai about Lippi's takeover, and Gao Hongbo obviously heard this rumor before the game.
Since Xu BOSS is Lao Cai's senior staff, and the national team has many Evergrande players, generally before the game, Xu BOSS will find Evergrande players to understand the situation and then feedback to Lao Cai. Then Lao Cai went to listen to Gao Hongbo's report.
Most of the time, Gao Hongbo reported, and Lao Cai listened to it and passed; But after listening to the starters before the game against Syria, Lao Cai repeatedly asked Gao Hongbo a question - "Gu Chao, is it okay"!
The reason why Lao Cai is so abnormal is precisely because the feedback given by Evergrande players is that Gu Chao is not good. But in the end, Gao Hongbo still sent Gu Chao under pressure, and then something big happened.
When he played Uzbekistan away, when Gao Hongbo went to report to Lao Cai, Lao Cai no longer believed Gao Hongbo, and wanted to talk to a core player by name, but Gao Hongbo refused, and the two of them completely broke up, and then Gao Hongbo publicly dumped Lao Cai after losing the game, and completely left the position of national football coach!
