QUESTION: How can I receive this kind of sports information on a daily basis?
A: Just click follow in the upper right corner.
Seven years ago, working in Tash, Uzbekistan, a middle-aged man dragged himself to the end of the team. He didn't communicate with anyone around him, not even with his eyes. All he left behind was a haggard back that disappeared into the night in a foreign country. He was Gao Hongbo. This scene happened in October 2016 in the fourth round of the 12th round. The national soccer team beat Uzbekistan 0-2 on the road and entered Qatar with 1 point in 4 rounds, leaving only theoretical hope. Gao Hongbo was blown to the wind and announced his resignation.
However, no one expected that three years later, Gao Hongbo would be serving as the immediate vice-chairman at the Football Association. No one expected that seven years later, Chinese soccer would be riddled with holes under another storm of anti-corruption and counterfeiting. Seeing that a new soccer congress was about to be held, Gao Hongbo submitted his resignation once again from his position as vice chairman of the FA. This time, Gao Hongbo chose to stay away from the center vortex and return to his familiar field of soccer business, making people feel infinitely embarrassed.
When he was appointed as a loser, he was ordered to be between a rock and a hard place. World-renowned coaches like Camacho and Lippi were asked to show the sincerity of a three-pronged approach. However, ask Gao Hongbo and the cost to the FA is just a phone call. Gao Hongbo first took over the national soccer team in 2009. He led the team to a 1-1 draw with Germany in a warm-up match, followed by a 3-0 sweep of South Korea in the East Asian Cup, ending 32 years of Korea-phobia, and eventually tying with Japan, even with the highlight of a 1-0 win over France. However, after losing the 2011 Asian Cup, Gao led the national soccer team to a rain-soaked victory over Jamaica before being replaced by Camacho.
Later, we all know that Camacho 1-5 fiasco, Pelan in the 2015 Asian Cup debut, in Hong Kong, China, 40 two flat, the national football team once again back to square one. At this time, Gao Hongbo also in Beijing Babaoshan cemetery to participate in the body of Mr. Chen Jialiang farewell ceremony, but Wei Jixiang called the national soccer team. In this way, Gao Hongbo led the national soccer team to two consecutive victories in almost desperate circumstances and entered the top 12. But when it came to the Top 12, the national soccer team only got one point in the first four rounds, so the opening scene happened.
However, after the Tran and Do-led FA folded, by 2023, the national football team needed a defensive counterattack to play Vietnam, and the ground attack of Gao Hongbo's era completely disappeared. At this moment, countless fans miss the Gao Hongbo they cursed.
He Wei, a soccer poet, said: "I saw Gao Hongbo stand up at the most dangerous time for Chinese soccer. It should be said that to a certain extent it saved the Chinese soccer team and the overall atmosphere of Chinese soccer at that time. I especially hope that this story will have a fairy tale ending, but we don't live in a fairy tale world, and in the process of development, it is often unsatisfactory.
Regardless of whether this departure from the FA is a torrent of courage or passivity, I hope that Director Gao will continue to shine in his new position.
