As the saying goes, "You salute me a foot, and I give you a foot." During Milu's coaching of the Chinese national team, this sentence is very suitable to describe his relationship with Sun Jihai, so what kind of story does Milu have between him and Sun Jihai during his coaching?
Before coming to China, Milu had a halo on his head, he had served as the head coach of the national team in several weak football countries and reached the World Cup finals four times in a row, which was quite magical.
"There are two cows, one can produce 50 litres of milk per day and the other can only produce 30 litres. But if the 50-litre cow kicks you with its hooves every time you milk the cow, and the 30-litre cow meekly lets you milk, let me choose, I can only go to the cow that produces 30 liters of milk. "This is the famous cream theory, the rumor is aimed at Sun Jihai, who we played for Manchester City in the Premier League at the time, comparing him to a cow that produces high milk but will kick people with hooves, according to Sun Jihai's later interview, he also admitted this, but he gave the statement that Milu did not respect the Chinese players at that time, and at the same time relatively positive to him, he said that Milu coached for a year, he could not call out many player names, often based on the team name players, such as the small man in Dalian or the big man in Shandong. It was as if they looked at the black Africans as long as they did, and perhaps Sun Jihai felt that Milutai was too casual and did not conform to the basic respect of Chinese working together. He also said that Milu likes to pick his faults, and shared an example, "In the 2001 Kunming training camp, I was eating noodles, eating noodles, Chinese habit of explaining that the noodles were good, and then he said through the translator that eating a little bit, impolite, I said you told him, Chinese eat like this, love to listen, buzz and exaggerate a little, Milu looked at me, did not say a word, estimated that he was speechless, the heart must be thinking about this prick, it is really smelly and faceless. However, in the later memories, Sun Jihai also felt that he was young and vigorous at that time, and felt that there was a lack of communication with the head coach at that time, and the times changed.
Now that twenty years have passed, Sun Jihai is currently the chairman of the Xinjiang Provincial Football Association, undertaking the important task of the rise of football in China, and hopes that the two can have new cooperation in the field of football.
