We have made a lot of efforts, including the hiring of "foreign coaches".
It was as a savior that Schrappner was invited to China 30 years ago, and upon his arrival, he was deeply
Chinese fan
The expectations and enjoyment are high.
I didn't realize that this Schlapner was an "international fraudster" and that the so-called savior was just a fleeting comet.
Klaus Schlapner was born in May 1942 in Lampeterham, Hesse, Germany. Schlapner played in a soccer club as a youth, but never achieved much, not even in the German First Division.
At the age of 24, Schlapner said goodbye to playing and became a professional soccer coach. For the next many years, Schlapner worked as a soccer coach in Germany, leading teams in matches.
Whether as a player or a coach, Schlapner has always been quiet and has not produced much despite his self-confessed skills.
It wasn't until 1984 that Schlapner, who had been dormant for more than 20 years, became the coach of Germany's Waldhof team, and the year in which he served as coach was Schlapner's finest year.
That year, he led his team to the German Bundesliga and won several awards.
Even playing in the first division doesn't mean that Schlapner is any overachiever, as such coaches are still plentiful in Germany. It was actually a coincidence that he came to China as head coach and was taken as a salvation by hundreds of millions of fans.
In 1984, Schlapner led his team to China, and it was only natural for them to have a match. Schlapner's team took part in the Great Wall Cup that year and won.
So far, Schlapner has given

The mind was left with the impression that he came and went like a warrior, and only his reputation grew more and more esoteric.
In the 1990s, the Chinese

At that time, I lacked confidence in my own family, and I saw that the German team was so good that I couldn't help but feel sorry for Germany.

The ball was somewhat adored.
At this point fans are calling for a coach from Germany to be brought in to give the

Take a class, have a workshop, and make up for it.
It was against this background that Schlapner was invited to China as a coach. He came to China a few years ago and left a deep impression on the fans. Although in Germany, Schlapner is only a "third-rate" coach, but for those who don't know his background, he is not the most popular coach in the world.

For that matter, Schrappner is already at the top of the pyramid.
Schlapner, faced with such an invitation, actually did not have the slightest fear. He also has always thought that he has been unrecognized talent, today encountered the soulmate, proud of the grandiose words resounded through China, not in the slightest compared to Beckenbauer not much worse.
In order to make Schlapner willing to come to China to coach, Shanghai Volkswagen's president Fang Hong, also as a relatively "rich" fan, took the initiative to sponsor

In 1992, already 52 years old, Schlapner arrived in China and enjoyed a welcome of the highest caliber.
Specialized aircraft to pick up Schlapner arrived in Beijing, off the plane, from the steps to the ground covered with red carpet, many fans spontaneously formed a welcome team, the momentum of the rare at that time.
Upon taking up his post, Schlapner began to use the soccer philosophy and training methods he had honed in Germany on the

Improvements have been made and much progress has indeed been made.
Thanks to Schlapner's efforts.

All aspects of the game have become more standardized and professionalized, and many of the best players have been given room to shine.
Schlapner advocated the "Leopard Spirit": hard work, never giving up, and unparalleled resilience. He is also famous for saying: "If you don't know where to kick the ball, kick it at the opponent's goal."

It can be said that everything is very detailed, and he is personally responsible for it. Each player's physical condition he made a detailed record, but also for them to prepare a special recipe, living life is also very strict management.

The fans became even more excited, they believed in Schlapner's "magic" and gave him all the credit.
Along with the credit came unlimited expectations for Schlapner. A year or so later is

Everyone believed that Schrappner would be able to do it, and even Schrappner was convinced of that.
He became the most popular and talked about foreigner in the country, and fans honored Schlapner as the "soccer white knight". Since returning from his third-place finish, Schlapner has been traveling in luxury cars, and even his home has been transformed from a dormitory to a mansion.
That Spring Festival, Schlapner also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala. He became the gimmick of the two comedians, Niu Qun and Feng Gong, at the Spring Festival Gala. That year, the two men's comedy happened to be titled auction, so they took Schlapner and started talking about him.
When they saw Schlapner's gray hair, they gleefully removed it and said it was "Master Schlapner's" for

The gray hair that was born out of bow and scrape; this gray hair, because of the Chinese

The ball only turned white, but even more so for China, we have to keep this hair in China forever.
After the two men blew off some steam, Schrappner's ordinary hair was actually auctioned off for a whopping $50,000 dollars.
This time on the Spring Festival Gala, but also to make Schlapner's reputation reached its peak, originally only the fans of the Schlapner to the highest praise, and now the whole country after dinner, all the talk is Schlapner, everyone put their hopes on Schlapner, expecting him to lead the
national soccer team
Kill the final.
But perhaps it is precisely because there are a lot of expectations, once they are not met, there are also a lot of disappointments. After all, Schlapner is just a coach, he is neither a god nor a "savior", he is just a capable foreign coach.

After the loss, the people who had been fanatically supporting Schlapner put the fault on him and started attacking Schlapner furiously. Especially after a few months, when Schrappner took the

also in
Asian cup (e.g. soccer)
preliminary competition
The upper fight was lost.
Two negative results made Schlapner a sinner, and as high as he was praised, he fell as low as he could go. Fans began to dislike Schlapner, believing him to be incapable of coaching, or even "unworthy of being a coach".
Schlapner was also reduced from a head coach to a "consultant", which was in fact an unprofessional position with no real power. Schlapner could only accept this, and when his contract expired, Schlapner returned to Germany.
According to media reports at the time, it was a magnificent spectacle when Schlapner rolled out.
During his time in China, Schlapner received a variety of gifts, ranging from expensive Chinese furniture to valuable jewelry and antique collections, all of which were treasures.
It cost Schlapner an entire large container just to consign these things.
Looking at Schlapner's "luggage", the fans were stunned, not realizing that they had been so enthusiastic in the first place. Now they are furious and don't want Schlapner to take away a single hair, but only hope that Schlapner will give up the gift because he can't take it away.

Through Volkswagen, Schlapner was given a small car with the words "Out of Asia", which was actually towed home by Schlapner on a ship.
After the failure of hiring a "foreign manager", everyone was still angry at Schlapner, and still denounced and attacked Schlapner through various channels, believing that he was a real international liar who deceived
Chinese fan
of affection and money.
In fact, although Schlapner is not a very good coach, he is not a liar either. He has been a coach in Germany for decades and has made some achievements, and before he came to China, he was even named "Germany's top ten soccer coaches of the year".
He did have some real skill in him, and his arrival relieved to some extent the

The embarrassing situation of lack of professionalism and specialization. Schlapner brought a whole set of German soccer concepts, soccer training methods, and combined them with Chinese

And Germany has worked its way to the title at every turn and has also achieved multiple

Championship.
Schlapner's help as a good German coach cannot be denied. But we can't pin all our hopes on Schlapner just because of his achievements and his aura as a German coach, which is also unfair to Schlapner.
There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration for a team to be successful, and in addition to great coaching, it also requires a strong team and closeness between the coach and players.
This is a problem for a group of people, if not an entire era.
From the point of view of historical materialism, Schlapner can indeed drive at the "point" of
national soccer team
The development of a "surface" or even a "three-dimensional" progression is absolutely impossible.
Furthermore, Schlapner has only been in China for two years, and he hasn't been in charge for very long, taking months just to settle in, let alone get on track with training.
Schlapner in order to get in touch with
national soccer team
The players engaged in grinding and tried their best, but instead of being defused, the conflict between the two sides became more and more intense.
The most important conflict was the problem of discipline. At that time, due to the lack of discipline, many players in the team had the problem of drinking and smoking, which is absolutely taboo nowadays, but at that time, there was no law on abstaining from drinking and smoking, so this phenomenon prevailed.
Schlapner in Germany as a coach for many years, the team quit smoking and drinking is a common thing. Alcoholism and smoking will lead to athletes' physical decline, addicted to rest, no interest in training, which is Schlapner can not accept, so he started with the players of the "war on alcohol and tobacco".
In order to keep an eye on the players at all times, Schlapner checked the dormitories every other day during their breaks, each time looking around the edges as well, not being able to spot a single beer cap or cigarette butt.
Because of this incident, Schlapner often had conflicts with his players. Even sometimes after he confiscated the players' alcohol, the players objected in the dormitory and refused to participate in training.
What makes Schlapner even more angry is that sometimes, when it is time to play, some players are still loitering in the disco every day, unmotivated to train.
In the eyes of the players, Schlapner was after all an "outsider", whom they could not recognize and even rejected.
There is also a point of contradiction in that Schlapner likes to change players. Schlapner valued more the significance of individual strength to the team, and he did not spare his appreciation for some outstanding performers, moving some players from other teams at the drop of a hat to the
the national team
Ri to prepare him for the game along with the rest of the team.
But by doing so, Schlapner undoubtedly broke the hearts of the players as well.
Appropriate replacement of players can indeed remove the wheat from the chaff, but Schlapner's frequent substitutions, even on the verge of changing the generals, led to a lack of team bonding and tacit understanding, and a scattering of players on the pitch, even the division of labor is not clear.
Such a scattered team, even with outstanding individual strengths, will find it difficult to cope with teams that are well disciplined and work together silently.
These conflicts of philosophy were actually perceived by Schlapner, but he could not overcome them, and the conflict with the players intensified until both sides had completely disagreed with each other, and there was no point in playing this game.
In December 1994, Schlapner entered into an agreement with the
soccer league
His contract expired and he officially stepped down to return home. After Schlapner stepped down, Chi took over and continued to lead the
national soccer team
Training and participating in competitions. The team also slipped further and further under Chi's conservative, raw style of play, and it was hard to hand over what was already a mess to him!
After leaving China, Schlapner still maintains his love for the country. In fact, when he first came to China to coach, the retainer was not so expensive, and the treatment he enjoyed was all because of the support of the fans.
After stepping down, a reporter interviewed Schlapner, who made a few simple gestures when talking about his salary. He put his hand on the table up to his waist, a height that was given to him by the German club; then he put his hand on the ground, which was the salary paid by Volkswagen.
The reason why he didn't ask for too much money is that Schlapner has always had a "China complex".
As early as 1984 after the visit to China, Schlapner has led Chinese coaches and players to study in Germany. Some of them became Schlapner's "disciples", which is also why when the

When you look abroad and want to hire a "foreign manager", Schlapner is the first to come to mind.
Since arriving in China, Schlapner has always carried two flags with him, the Chinese flag on one side and the
soccer league
flags, and when he took pictures, he would always try to get these two flags into the shot with himself.
On his return to Bensheim, Schlapner's residence changed from a five-star mansion to a small, modest garden. He called it the "China House", where Schlapner would receive his guests from China whenever they visited.
He displayed his China collection, his furniture and even his car in the "China House" and proudly introduced all the wonders and beauties of China to everyone.
Sometimes Schlapner will run into some challenges against the center

The people who were criticizing the ball, he would interrupt them with great displeasure and would not allow them to comment so much on the Chinese
national soccer team
Balls.
After returning to China, Schlapner initially sold beer under his own name as a trademark, but it didn't work and business was poor.
Later, Schlapner came up with the idea of hiring some members of his family as brokers, specializing in "intermediaries" to absorb Chinese players to Germany for training.
This program has been a huge success, and under Schlapner's influence many players in China have gone on to study abroad and improve themselves no end.
Schlapner also has a strong focus on the training and development of youth soccer players, as this is a

The ball can be a long-lasting source of motivation and energy. He enjoyed spacing out and giving
