Chapter 88: Interviews from China

"I'm sorry, you know that there is no winter break in England, and this time is around the Christmas game and the winter transfer, so..." Charlotte explained a little bit, although she didn't like the media and planned to make friends, but Basic etiquette is still required.

"I understand. I used to study university and master's degree in Liverpool, and I have a good understanding of the football environment in England." Yu Hang smiled wryly and shrugged.

"Thank you for your understanding, oh, yes, please come in, please come in." Charlotte opened the door and invited the other party into the room.

As soon as he entered, Yu Hang was stunned.

The living room was messy. There were two blackboards hanging on the wall. Arrows and road maps were densely drawn on them, and some keywords were written beside them, such as "quick forward insertion", "inner cut", "horizontal pull" and so on. .

There is a laptop computer and a tablet computer on the coffee table, and the rest of the space is filled with A4 paper and some books. The A4 paper is full of dense text descriptions, some of which have patterns, and these books are all in harmony with Books about football.For example, the famous "Inverted Pyramid", "Football System and Strategy", "Modern Techniques and Tactics: 180 Cases of Formation Analysis by Top Italian Coaches", "Offensive Football: Tactical Analysis" and "Building a Team: The Road to Success" by Michels And Italian coach Sacchi's football philosophy.

Unsurprisingly, these are the original versions, not domestic translations.

This is a football maniac. Yu Hang immediately gave the definition of Charlotte when he met for the first time.

"Sorry, it's a little messy. I usually don't have any guests here. Please sit down. Fortunately, people can sit on the sofa." Charlotte tidied up the messy books and materials on the coffee table and put them aside.

At this time, after getting Charlotte's consent, the assistant Li Dan began to take a few photos at will.

During this period of time, Charlotte was so busy that she didn't even have the mood to meet her physical needs by flying an airplane. Naturally, she wasn't afraid that the other party would take pictures of some strange objects, such as a few crumpled toilet paper balls.

"Coffee? Or tea?" asked Charlotte.

"Anything is fine." Yu Hang pushed the glasses frame.

Charlotte brewed three cups of tea from the kitchen: "This is not a good tea, I bought it in Chinatown, London. I haven't been back for a long time, otherwise Shifeng Longjing or Zhuyeqing will be entertaining you."

"You're too polite." Yu Hang turned to the teacup and said, "So, can we start?"

Charlotte made a joke: "Oh? I thought it had already started."

"Well, this is the first time I've been interviewed by the media, and it's still a domestic media. You have to take care of it because I don't have much experience. But let's make it clear first that we don't involve sensitive topics such as the national team and domestic league clubs. At the same time , You can’t take my words out of context, delete or add them at will.” Xia Luo made three chapters.

Domestic football is still a pitfall. In July this year, Charlotte took office at Southampton. At the same time, domestic Spanish coach Camacho officially became the head coach of the Chinese national team with a high salary funded by Wanda Group.Wang Jianlin really wants to contribute to Chinese football, as can be seen from his sponsorship of clubs, leagues and national teams in the past, but those bureaucrats like to take advantage of him.

Charlotte remembered that Wang Jianlin, who was heartbroken, simply went abroad to play in European clubs, and seemed to become one of the shareholders of Atlético de Madrid in Spain.

As for Camacho, the country now praises him as a "famous coach", but this fat man has a slightly better coaching resume, but his grades are almost poor and white.

Camacho has coached such powerful teams as Espanyol, Sevilla and Benfica, as well as top giants such as Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, but he has only won the Portuguese Cup and the second division of Spain once. Can two championships count?
In the Spanish national team, he only led the Matador Corps into the quarter-finals of the European Cup and the World Cup. It was not that Charlotte underestimated Camacho.With the Spanish lineup at the time, even Charlotte might be able to bring this result. If you are lucky, you can go further.

You know, there were top players like Casillas, Puyol, Hierro, Raul, Mendieta, Belleron and Joaquin in the Matador Legion at that time.

Charlotte knew that Camacho's trip to China would become a joke in the future. He was eliminated after failing to make it to the top [-] in the World Cup qualifiers, and then he played badly in the Asian Cup qualifiers.

Then in the friendly match, Brazil was bloodbathed 23-[-]. In the end, the Thailand U[-] youth team's [-]-[-] directly became the last straw that overwhelmed Camacho.

So far, the head coach whose salary ranks third in the world national team has dismissed get out of class in embarrassment. Lawyer submits real-name report on Camacho's tax evasion
This is really a farce, and Chinese fans and the Wanda Group, which has invested heavily, have become the most hurt people in this farce.

It was not until 2016 that the Chinese team began to rebound, and the domestic football atmosphere was not as dark as these years.But in Charlotte's view, even at that time, the biggest highlight of the national team was not reaching the second round of the World Cup Asian qualifiers (the top [-]), but the team's performance in the game. Fighting spirit, even if it was [-]-[-] behind the powerful South Korean team, they also staged a Jedi counterattack, although they still lost [-]-[-] regrettably.

But if you look at the 23-[-] loss to Thailand U[-] and the [-]-[-] loss to South Korea together, you will find that the national team has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Knowing the future trend, Charlotte naturally didn't want to go into this muddy water.

Yu Hang thought about it carefully, then nodded: "Okay, no problem."

The mission of their trip is to interview Charlotte and uncover this young Chinese who is the head coach in England. This is not a conflict.And Yu Hang is not the kind of irresponsible media reporter. He never adds fuel to the story and misleads readers by taking out of context. Otherwise, he may be able to do well in China, but it is difficult to do a single step abroad.

"Mr. Charlotte, first of all congratulations, your team is about to win the half-time championship of the English Championship." Yu Hang started with a formula.

"Thanks, although it's no use in the English half-time championship."

"Yes, the winner is the one who has the last laugh in England. We heard that you graduated from the sports department of the University of Cologne, so how did you come to England to be the head coach of this historic and cultural club? Are there some interesting stories that are not known to outsiders?"

"Yes, I officially graduated from the University of Cologne this summer. Then I came out to look for a job with my graduation certificate and FIFA A-level coaching qualification certificate. I also studied FIFA organization during my four years in college. coach courses and some foreign language courses. I have always wanted to be a head coach, and these are the most basic conditions for becoming a head coach”

Originally, Yu Hang wanted to adopt a situation of one question and one answer, but Charlotte couldn't stop at all once he said it.He talked about some things that happened to him during this period, including the incident of being rejected by the Hamburg club and later becoming the laughing stock of the entire German football world, as well as the fact that he went to the UK to seek a living, and finally he became a football player. Southampton owner Katrina extended an olive branch to him when he was down and out.

Yu Hang did not interrupt Charlotte, but listened quietly to Charlotte's story with the microphone in his hands, and at the same time signaled his assistant Li Dan not to miss a single frame to take pictures with the camera.

Fans are tired of watching some traditional news interviews, especially the formulaic interviews with one question and one answer, because many of the questions have standard answers.

And Yu Hang is sure that after he sends out this guide, it will definitely arouse huge repercussions from the fans.

When you think about it, it must be very attractive for a Chinese manager who coaches in the English Championship to tell his own story.

The key is that there are no Chinese head coaches who have taken the lead in coaching big-name clubs in Europe. In the past, Chi Shangbin, Jia Quanxiu and others have coached Japanese League clubs in the embryonic stage of the Japanese J-League, but that is basically the same as the current Southampton. Tonton is not a level, although Southampton is now only a Championship team.
Moreover, Charlotte's performance in Southampton is still very good.

The interview ended soon, and after Yu Hang took a few more photos, he hurriedly bid farewell.

As a senior media practitioner, he naturally knows the importance of speed in this circle, especially living in such an era where information and news are developing at a high speed.

So Yu Hang planned to go back and rush out an article, trying to attract the attention of all fans next month.

After seeing off the two of Yu Hang, Charlotte sat down on the sofa, holding the upcoming schedule and the information of the next opponent, and prepared for the next game.

The reason why Charlotte was able to lead the team to hold on to the league leader's throne and get rid of the teams behind by two blocks, to a large extent, this habit of making arrangements early helped a lot.

On November 26, the team ushered in the No.19 opponent, the newly promoted Fort Pitt United.Naturally, there was no suspense in the game. Even though Charlotte arranged for a rotation of players, the team still won [-]-[-].

The team's schedule during this period of early December was relatively easy, so what Charlotte basically implemented was to play a league game and rest for two days to prepare for the intensive schedule at the end of December and January.

Compared with the current Southampton, which has one game a week, it is very easy.Of course, this is largely because they were eliminated in the League Cup early, so the schedule will be easier.

December [-]rd, light rain.The team ushered in Barnsley at home. The relaxed Southampton won again, beating their opponents [-]-[-].

Seeing Barnsley, Charlotte suddenly thought of a player.In the future, England's native central defender John Stones, who became famous in Everton, came from the Barnsley youth training camp. After Everton became the main force, he also attracted the attention of English giants such as Chelsea and Manchester City. The poor Manchester City bought out the young Stones at a sky-high price of 5000 million pounds.

Thinking of this, Charlotte called assistant coach Wilkins over to whisper a few words.

There are not many excellent central defenders produced in England, especially after Ferdinand retired and Terry got old, the national team didn't even have a pillar, and could only rely on Gary Cahill to act as a facade.

So for this little demon, Charlotte must win.Now that he is still in Barnsley's youth team, it is easier to hook up, but it will be difficult to hook up after Toffee Everton takes action.
