Seven years ago, in the city of Tash, Uzbekistan, a middle-aged figure stood alone at the end of the court. He did not talk to anyone, nor did his eyes meet. Only left a thin back, in the night in a foreign land gradually walking away. In October 2016, in the fourth round of the 12-team tournament, the national football team lost 0-2 to Uzbekistan on the road, and only accumulated one point in four rounds of the tournament, the trip to Qatar is only a theoretical hope. Gao Hongbo was thus caught in the crossfire of public opinion, and eventually chose to resign from his post.
But who would have guessed that three years later, Gao Hongbo was quickly ranked among the vice-chairman of the Football Association. Today, Chinese soccer is scarred by the storm of anti-corruption and counterfeiting. With the new soccer congress approaching, Gao Hongbo once again submitted his resignation, stepping down as vice chairman of the Football Association. This time, he chose to step back and focus on the familiar soccer career, the scene is quite embarrassing.
Back then, when Gao Hongbo was entrusted with a heavy responsibility in a time of crisis, he faced the challenge of summoning Camacho, Lippi and other international coaches, and the cost of the Football Association on Gao Hongbo is just through a phone call.2009, Gao Hongbo first took charge of the national football coaching whip, in the warm-up matches, he led the team to a draw with Germany, the East Asian Cup, 3-0 victory over South Korea, the end of the 32 years of South Korea-phobia, and Japan, the division. There were even highlights of a 1-0 win over France. However, Gao Hongbo was eventually replaced by Camacho after leading the national soccer team to a rain-soaked victory over Jamaica following the 2011 Asian Cup loss.
The ensuing story is familiar to all of us, Camacho's 1-5 fiasco, Pelan's performance at the 2015 Asian Cup, and the national soccer team's two draws in the Hong Kong 40-team tournament, which brought them back to square one once again. At this time, Gao Hongbo was participating in the farewell ceremony for Mr. Chen Jia Liang, when Wei Jixiang's phone call pulled him back to the national team. In an almost desperate situation, Gao Hongbo led the national soccer team to two consecutive victories and entered the 12-team tournament. But with only one point in the first four rounds, that scene played out again.
However, after the reform of Tran, Du and other leaders of the Football Association, by 2023, the national football team faced Vietnam, there is no longer the ground attack of the past, only to take defensive counterattack. At the moment, countless fans miss the once-bitter Gao Hongbo.
He Wei, a soccer poet, once said, "I witnessed Gao Hongbo stepping up in the most critical moment of Chinese soccer. He somehow saved the Chinese soccer team and the atmosphere of Chinese soccer at that time. I sincerely hope that this story will have a fairytale ending, but the reality is not always what it seems.
Whether this departure from the FA is active or passive, I wish Director Gao continued to shine in his new position.
