If the domestic media and fans, including the Football Association, had only the impression of Gao Han as the world's top coach before, then now, a press conference to see Gao Han's comeback can actually attract so many media reporters from all over the world to attend. On site, they also had to re-evaluate Gao Han’s influence in the world.

It can be said that the scale of this press conference far exceeded everyone's expectations.

From the official website of the Football Association, it was announced that negotiations with Gao Han had been completed. The two parties would sign a contract on the morning of the 24th. When they held a press conference in the afternoon, they never expected that it would attract so many people to sign up.

Especially later, Gao Han announced on Weibo and Twitter at the same time that he would embark on a new journey and officially coach the Chinese national team. This immediately attracted huge attention on the global Internet, and countless fans left messages for Gao Han. Likes and blessings, and countless media reporters also poured into the Football Association's registration website from all directions.

As a result, the website was immediately paralyzed and the phone calls were also blocked.

Finally, taking into account the enthusiasm of media reporters, the Football Association had to temporarily change the venue of the press conference, choosing the largest banquet hall in the Guomao Hotel, and intensively arranged the scene, and then barely managed to meet the schedule.

This piece of news has also become a big news in world football in the past period. UEFA and FIFA have reposted it, and the teams coached by Gao Han and the football associations of the countries where they are located have also reposted the news. , and send blessings.

Guardiola, the head coach of Manchester City, has never been fond of social networks, but this time he also liked Gao Han on Twitter and said that Gao Han is the head coach he respects and admires most in his life and believes that he will Be successful on your new journey.

Following Zheng Zhi, many international players also expressed their opinions, promising that they would do their best to work hard for Gao Han and the national team.

He hasn't officially taken office yet, but he has already harvested everyone's surrender and confidence.

This is the cold!

And this also made everyone look forward to Gao Han's first press conference.

The press conference was scheduled for three o'clock in the afternoon, but just after one o'clock, the venue was already crowded and there was no space left.

…………

…………

As soon as the time arrived, Gao Han, accompanied by Deputy Director Cai, strolled into the venue.

The originally noisy banquet hall suddenly became silent. After a few seconds, the sound of snapping photos could be heard. At this time, Gao Han had already raised his right hand with a smile and looked at all the media who came to the scene. Salute.

Especially when he saw several old friends such as Matayana, De La Morena and Greenwald, he pointed at them with a smile as if to say hello to them, and the scene immediately rang. There were cheers and thunderous applause.

With so many people, especially a press conference that attracted so many well-known foreign media, it is really rare in China. Let alone other members of the Football Association, even Deputy Director Cai was a little frightened, fearing that something might happen accidentally. What mistake had become an international joke, and everyone became trembling with fear.

On the other hand, Gao Han was still calm and greeted the familiar media reporters present with a smile. It didn't look like he was here to hold a press conference, but rather like he was here to meet old friends.

This scene made everyone present not only admire secretly in their hearts.

Gao Han is still Gao Han. With his current status and influence, from the moment he walked into the venue, he was the focus of everyone present and was the unique core.

The press conference was hosted by the newly appointed spokesperson of the national team. He previously worked in Chinatown. He first worked in a well-known domestic media and had his own way of dealing with the media. Gao Han had contacted him several times and was very satisfied. , so he was transferred to the national team.

The press conference began with the announcement that Gao Han had officially taken over as the coach of the Chinese national team. The two parties had officially signed a coaching contract in the morning, and the photos were immediately announced on the Weibo and Twitter accounts of the Football Association and Gao Han.

The afternoon press conference had only one theme, which was to unravel the mystery on everyone’s mind.

"Long time no see, everyone."

After the host finished speaking, Gao Han looked at everyone present and smiled slightly.

The audience burst into thunderous applause again.

Yes, long time no see.

At this moment, many media reporters sitting in the hall had spared no effort to follow Gao Han's news and reports. They had also felt regret and loss for Gao Han's choice to retire. But now, they are rushing for Gao Han's comeback. A familiar feeling arises spontaneously.

After the applause stopped for a while, Gao Han spoke again.

He took the lead in introducing his coaching team to everyone, all of whom were his old partners for many years. Except for Xiao Mu, everyone was no stranger to the other four assistants, even Xiao Mu, Matayana and Dela Morena and others are also familiar with it.

If Xiao Mu hadn't switched to Gao Han, given Xiao Mu's performance in Chinatown's second team this season, he would have been very likely to break into the Spanish Second Division next season. By then, he would basically be the coach of the Spanish Second Division team. At the age of forty, it is entirely possible to take a step further in the future and enter La Liga coaching.

In fact, Gao Han also specially introduced Xiao Mu, thinking that he would be his chief assistant coach and right-hand man.

At the same time, Gao Han also introduced Li Tie. He firmly believed that the former international player would be a bridge between himself and the Football Association.

Gao Han's introduction was just a routine matter. Everyone had already figured out Gao Han's team, so after entering the free question session, everyone's topic was more concerned about Gao Han himself.

For example, the first question was that an authoritative domestic party newspaper asked Gao Han why he became the coach of the Chinese national team.

Gao Han was well prepared for this and reiterated his feelings for Chinese football. He also said that only the Chinese national team can represent Chinese football, so he has always hoped to contribute to Chinese football.

"In fact, the Football Association has always been in contact with me. We have cooperated in many aspects. Deputy Director Cai also discussed with me the possibility of becoming the head coach of the national team, but the conditions were not mature at the time and many things were still unresolved. It was inappropriate, so I finally politely declined the Football Association’s invitation.”

Everyone knew what the original problem was, but Gao Han now spoke more tactfully and gave the Football Association a step forward.

"China is one of the most powerful countries in the world and the most populous country. I have always believed that China has never lacked football talents, we just lack the soil to cultivate talents, so I returned to China many years ago and founded The youth training center has also cultivated a number of outstanding football talents in recent years.”

Not long ago, all the 25 players from BJ Chinatown’s first batch of youth training found teams in European leagues. Fifteen of them entered teams in the four major leagues. Especially, La Liga has the largest number of players, reaching Eight players were selected, and the remaining ten players were distributed in teams in second-tier leagues such as Ligue 1, Portuguese Super League, and Eredivisie. The Portuguese Super League and Eredivisie had the largest number of players.

This undoubtedly represents the strength of Chinatown's youth training, but it is only the beginning.

Being able to stay in the European League does not mean that they can gain a firm foothold. How to develop in the future will still depend on their own efforts. Gao Han has asked Chinatown and Mendes to pay close attention to the movements of all players and provide as much help as possible. , to ensure the smooth development of players in the European League.

"The reason why I took over the Chinese national team is, on the one hand, the trust from the government and the Football Association, and on the other hand, because I believe that I can help the Chinese national team and Chinese football progress."

Gao Han's answer speed is still the same as before, neither urgent nor slow, looking very calm and unhurried, giving people a feeling of confidence and a plan in mind, which is exactly the same as when he coached in the European League.

But everyone knows that the current national team situation faced by Gao Han is far worse than any team he has coached in Europe, and the difficulties encountered are more severe.

The World Cup qualifiers are getting closer and closer, and there is less and less time left for Gao Han. What strategy will he adopt to help the Chinese national team come back to life?

Media reporters quickly put this thorny issue in front of Gao Han.
