The birthplace of modern football, Britain, football coaches have been a respected profession for a hundred years, and many coaches on the European continent are envious of the "manager responsibility system" of English football. Sir Flescher is the eternal boss at Manchester United, and even he has the courage to fight with investors, and his status and power can be seen. Chinese football has been derailed from the world for a long time, but Li Zhangsu is the first "manager" of Chinese football. The issue of the power of the head coach of the Chinese Super League has also become the focus of heated discussion, including Li Xiaopeng, Cannavaro, Lippi and others are very typical examples.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" data-track="6" > the incomprehensible origin of Lee Jang-so and Evergrande</h1>
After Guangzhou Evergrande took over the Guangzhou team, he did not know where to find a good coach for a while, and finally found South Korean coach Lee Jang-so under the matchmaking of the media, which also made Xu Jiayin breathe a sigh of relief. As a tycoon in China's real estate industry at that time, Xu Jiayin had too many things to take care of, and the club had to find the same tough people to lead in order not to smash the golden sign of Guangzhou Evergrande. Compared with Beijing Guoan, which is backed by the strict hierarchy of state-owned enterprises, the leadership of Guangzhou Evergrande is much more humane. Liu Yongzhuo, the chairman of the club, was given the title of "the best logistics manager" because he was responsible for the overall coordination, and Lee Zhangsu became the "boss" within the club.
From the introduction and sale of players to the specific distribution of bonuses, and even to arranging for players to be interviewed, the big and small things of Guangzhou Evergrande at that time needed Li Zhangsu's nod. In the three years of coaching Guangzhou Evergrande, Li Zhangsu can be said to be infallible in the reinforcement matters that most reflect the authority of the manager, and he has absolute control. In addition to the failure to control the large-scale loss of Lao Chen, in the three subsequent transfer windows, Lee Jang-so was able to form a team according to his own wishes without any worries.
During the second transfer in 2010, Li Zhangsu poached the three fierce generals Zheng Zhi, Sun Xiang and Muric in one go, plus the original Gao Lin, who was praised by Guangzhou fans as the "Four Heavenly Kings". These four players have finally become the mainstay of Guangzhou Evergrande, and can best implement Li Zhangsu's tactical ideas.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="8" > the power to attract reinforcements</h1>
At the end of 2010, before the winter transfer window closed, Guangzhou Evergrande once again made several large-scale operations in a row, also in accordance with Lee Zhangsu's wishes to enrich the team. In the goalkeeper position, Lee Jang-so recruited Yang Jun, who became a reliable candidate for Li Shuai at that time; the back line successively ate two popular internationals Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng, and the depth of the bench was sharply strengthened. There are Yang Hao and Jiang Ning in the midfield, which are also highly targeted reinforcements, and the arrival of "Champions League killer" Cleo has made Guangzhou Evergrande's lineup as a whole a grade. When Cleo suffered the impact of injury, Guangzhou Evergrande got the Brazilian League MVP Conca, although it was suspected by fans at the time of the show, but it was also an excellent supplement for Lee Jang-so and his team. Under the leadership of Conca, Evergrande's offensive has not diminished in the slightest.
Lee Jang-so is trusted by Guangzhou Evergrande, and before that, he has suffered losses in this regard. In 2009, South Korean iron marshal Lee Jang-so, with endless regret and anger, bid farewell to Beijing Guoan, who was still on the road to winning the championship, and helplessly became a foil for Hong Yuanshuo to win the championship. At the end of September 2011, Li Zhangsu, who had been working hard for two years, made a comeback and overwhelmed his old club Beijing Guoan to win the Chinese Super League championship in the early four rounds of competition with an irreversible advantage. On the occasion of his 55th birthday, he completed his ascent to the throne at home. The bitterness and bitterness of that year was finally released on the starry night of Tianhe. Under the night in Guangzhou, Evergrande's championship celebration illuminated the entire city of Guangzhou, and Li Zhangsu, who has always shown his iron face, finally showed a rare smile. As the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, Li Zhangsu is more appropriate to describe "manager", as the first "manager" in Chinese football, Li Zhangsu's arrival is also the beginning of Guangzhou Evergrande football boom.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" data-track="10" > Old Li's teaching years in China</h1>
Chinese professional football has been going on for 27 years, but the most brilliant in the record book is South Korean Lee Jang-so. After beating Hangzhou Greentown 3-1 away in 14 rounds this season, Lee Jang-so, who has been immersed in Chinese football for more than a decade, became the first coach to reach 100 wins in the league. After the game, in front of the congratulations and praise of the media fans, Lee Jang-so showed a low profile: "I really didn't know there was such a record. Obviously, this Chinese have heard of the "foreign teachers" who have no obstacles, and even the humble Confucianism in Chinese culture has been learned.
From Chongqing Loncin in 1998 to Today's Guangzhou Evergrande, Li Zhangsu has coached four Chinese teams in the past 13 years, and in his own words, it has been almost complete: "The earliest Chongqing was a western city, and then Qingdao was in the east, Beijing I stayed for nearly three years, and now I have taken root in guangzhou in the south. Indeed, compared with the foreign monks who came to China for a short period of gold panning, Li Zhangsu, who is also an oriental, is more obviously adapted to the rhythm of Chinese life and customs. Studious, he was obsessed with studying the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as early as his coaching at Chongqing Loncin, and once summed up a set of "homemade secret recipes" - "dealing with Chinese players, if you can combine the advantages of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei." "After working hard in Chinese football for many years, Li Zhangsu has cultivated in another ability, that is, Chinese people's sophistication. The lessons of being forced out of class in 2009 because he did not have the support of Beijing Guoan are still vivid and will definitely become a valuable asset for Lee Zhangsu to remember for a lifetime. Going south to Guangzhou to fight with Guangzhou Evergrande, Li Zhangsu became a complete "China pass", and many people sighed after dealing with him: "He is basically a Chinese." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" data-track="12" > soccer coach OR soccer manager</h1>
That season, Guangzhou Evergrande led the way strongly, and finally won the championship without suspense, and it also received rave reviews when winning consecutively, but Li Zhangsu never took credit for it. Compared with his predecessor Shen Xiangfu, the biggest difference between Lee Jang-so and Lee Jang-so is that he will "thank the boss". During the Guangdong Guangdong Guangyao period, Shen Xiangfu Market will thank the fans for hanging on their lips, and even have the experience of bowing and apologizing, but in the end they still left the fans' careers with a loser's posture. On the other hand, although Lee Chang-so also attaches great importance to fans and players, he will not forget Xu Jiayin when he succeeds. How could Mr. Heo, who has always longed for a positive image, not favor the South Korean? However, Lee Jang-so's departure is also inevitable, which is not his most ideal ending, but it is the most realistic ending. Perhaps, Lee Jang-so's power is only within a certain range of power.
In addition to having the right to speak in the staffing, "manager" Lee Jang-so also controls the pockets of the players. At the beginning of the league at that time, Xu Jiayin had made it clear that all affairs within the team were fully responsible for Lee Jang-so, including the distribution of the team's prize money. So many bonuses for Lee Jang-so to distribute, which further reflects the club's trust in him. And this uneven reward mechanism is conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm of the players, and since then Guangzhou Evergrande has launched a "fighting award" system for each game, which is said to be from Li Zhangsu's proposal.
Since then, Guangzhou Evergrande has really begun to achieve "one more goal per game, and work hard for 90 minutes." "Although every manager likes to use his own players, but ability and hard work are very important, but stability is also a link that cannot be ignored. Li Zhangsu once had a feud with some players in Beijing Guoan, which led to a "complaint against the emperor", which also made him know how to deal with the relationship with his disciples after eating a long and wise man. On the night that Guangzhou Evergrande won the championship, Gao Lin, who had been criticized the most by Li Zhangsu, sighed with emotion: "The biggest reason why our team can win the championship this year is that the team has no contradictions from beginning to end, and there is no internal friction!" ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="06" data-track="14" > summary</h1>
Lippi is also a truth, and even Lippi's rights are greater than Lee Chang-so's. But this abuse of power may not be a good outcome for Chinese football. Especially when the players are not good enough. Forcibly replacing the head coach of the championship team is, of course, immature behavior. The coaches of the Chinese Super League, including Li Xiaopeng, Cannavaro and Bilic, are like hanging the sword of Damocles above their heads, so that they have to be cautious and have to take steps.
