In fact, Li Wei had expected Zola's refusal. There is a Chinese saying: It is better to be a chicken head than an oxtail.Zola did a great job at Watford, why did you come to Liverpool as an assistant?

To put it bluntly, even if Liverpool wins all the championships this season, people will call Zola "Levi's assistant coach" if they are amazing, and they may even call Zola "the head coach of the lying champion". "Levi won the championship with the help of Zola."

Later, Li Wei wanted to find a famous Liverpool player as an assistant coach. Many clubs have the habit of looking for a famous player in the history of the team to serve as an assistant coach.In this regard, Liverpool has a long history.

Shankly's successor is the former Liverpool captain Paisley. After retiring, Paisley became the club's team doctor by himself, and later served as Shankly's assistant coach. After Shankly retired, he became the head coach of the Liverpool club.After Paisley retired, his assistant coach Joe Fagan became the head coach, and when Joe Fagan resigned because of the Heysel tragedy, Liverpool broke the club's tradition of resigning the head coach for more than 20 years and the assistant coach took over.

The one who succeeded Joe Fagan was also a Liverpool star, Dalglish, who was called the king by the fans.

The best assistant coach at the moment is actually Gerrard. Although Gerrard still has some time before retiring, the 32-year-old Gerrard is getting closer and closer to the time of retirement, and there have been voices calling for it on the Internet. I hope that Gerrard can retire in Levi and serve as the team's assistant coach to revive Liverpool's traditional boot room.

It’s just that Li Wei is very clear that Gerrard has not yet reached the time to be an assistant coach. Even if Gerrard is a player and assistant coach, he must be at least 34 or [-] years old. Now talk to Gerrard about retiring as an assistant coach Still early.

Li Wei thought of Carragher again. Last season Carragher served as a player and assistant coach before retiring. After the season ended, he took the initiative to ask Li Wei to coach the youth team alone.Li Wei naturally readily agreed.

It's just that before Li Wei found Carragher, Carragher had already found Li Wei.

In the end, Carragher did not break away from the track of being a commentator. Sky TV found Carragher. At first, he was only a part-time commentator. But later, Carragher’s commentary became more and more popular. Sky TV suggested that Carragher should be a full-time commentator. .

After weighing and considering, Carragher finally decided to give up his career development as a head coach and chose to serve as a football commentator.

Although Carragher didn't say anything to Levi, Levi knew why Carragher chose to be a commentator instead of developing in Liverpool.

On the one hand, there are reasons for his Li Wei. This year, Li Wei is only 29 years old. Let alone a head coach at this age, even players are in their prime.Shankly retired at the age of 60, which is considered early in the coaching world. According to this calculation, Levi still has at least 31 years of coaching time.

If Ferguson really retired at the age of 72, Levi's coaching time is as long as 43 years.

He, Carragher, probably has no hope of sitting on the Liverpool coaching bench and giving advice. He, Carragher, is five years older than Levi.When Levi retires, even if he doesn't go into the soil, he will go in half of his body, and he will talk about coaching Liverpool.

If there is no hope of coaching Liverpool, Carragher's interest in the position of head coach has dropped sharply, thinking that this position is too hard and not as easy as being a commentator.

In fact, not only Carragher has such an idea, many retired England stars have this idea.

In today's English football, we don't see too many retired England stars who have become the backbone and took up the coach. Compared with the Dutch who coached in a down-to-earth manner, those retired England stars prefer to sit in the studio in suits and tie. Talk about talking on paper.

Turn on the TV, and you can easily see James, the Neville brothers, Keown, Carragher.Sometimes there will be a change of people, such as McManaman, Scholes or Redknapp Jr. When you are lucky, you can still see Owen or Alan Shearer.

After all, this is something that subverts the inertial thinking of many fans. After all, in the eyes of fans, many stars will choose to be head coaches after retirement. Their former status as stars can make it easier for them to get a good starting point.And now many famous football coaches in the world are born as stars, and then coached well, such as the current Guardiola, Ancelotti, and the older generation of Beckenbauer and Cruyff.

However, England's old internationals don't think so. At least in their view, it is not that simple to find a coaching job with their famous name after retiring. The most likely result is to be fired.In addition, it takes a long time to obtain a top-level coaching qualification certificate. During this time, they need to spend a lot of energy on learning a variety of new knowledge. In the end, even if they finally manage to coach a Premier League team , They have not reached the time when they can smile.As the most prosperous football league in the world, the Premier League, the head coach is under a lot of pressure.According to the latest report, in the Premier League to coach a team, the average coaching time of the head coach is only eight months.This is still the reason why Ferguson, Wenger, and Moyes are held back by head coaches who claim they will never be fired. In fact, the life span of a head coach in the Premier League is often less than eight months. More than half of them were fired without making it through.

Moreover, compared with their counterparts in other countries, English coaches have always been synonymous with losers. For many years, there has been no head coach who can do it.After retiring and transforming into a head coach, there is a rhythm of jumping into the fire pit, but being a commentator is much more relaxed and happy.

In October 1993, in the World Cup qualifiers, England lost 10:0 to the Netherlands. In Graham Taylor's England team, almost no one is engaged in coaching work. Paul Ince, who coached Blackpool, is the only one left .After retiring, he served as the head coach of Mackersfield, Milton Keynes and Blackburn Rovers. He was the first black English head coach after the establishment of the Premier League.In contrast, there are now six players in that Dutch team as coaches.

In the 1996 European Cup, England did better than the Netherlands. They bloodbathed the Oranje 4-1. However, the coaching job still scares the England internationals. Now only Les Ferdinand, Stone, Sheringham, The four of Southgate are still engaged in work related to coaches.

Li Wei originally wanted Carragher to try to be an assistant coach, but he didn't say this, and Carragher didn't even serve as the head coach of the youth team.

At this moment, Li Wei didn't know what to say.
