The game was over, and the final score was 0-0. None of the two teams managed to score a goal, so they had to shake hands for this goalies' draw.
However, the next game between the two teams would be held at the home court of Dingtian Club, which was not providing an optimistic outlook for Jeonbuk Hyundai. In a game of this level, it was almost impossible for Jeonbuk Hyundai to win in the home court of Dingtian Club, according to the strength parison between the two teams.
For Jeonbuk Hyundai, the only good news was that Dingtian failed to score any away goals. Therefore, if Jeonbuk Hyundai managed to score one goal in the next game, they could go through to the next round of the game, even if the final result of the game was still a draw.
In the plane flying back to China, Harman and several core members of his coach team sat together, to summarize the game which had just finished.
Harman looked at the notebook in his hand and said, "We have to participate in the games of three fronts simultaneously, which resulted in serious exhaustion of the players. From this game, our disadvantage of insufficient lineup depth has been exposed. Our players are suffering from serious physical exhaustion by taking part in the games of the domestic league, the FA Cup, and the AFC Champions League at the same time. The chance of injury is also increasing. I will point this out to the club. However, we have to wait until the next season to change this situation. For this season, we still have to hold the line."
"The injuries of several players shall be evaluated, so I plan to have some of our key players take a break in the uping games of the domestic league. As far as to our current scores in the domestic league, if we could win the next game, it is highly possible for us to win the league championship in advance. Of course, this is dependent on whether our rivals could give us the chance. If they also win the next game, this petition for the championship has to be continued."
As Harman said this, he closed his notebook, turned to Claude, and asked, "What do you think of Dai Li?"
"What aspect are you talking about?" Claude asked immediately.
Harman smiled slightly, "Out team hasn't had transfusion of fresh blood for a long time."
Everyone was shocked, as none of them had expected Harman was planning to recruit Dai Li.
The gap between the Asian soccer players and their European counterparts was large, while the gap between the Asian soccer coaches and their European counterparts was even larger. Actually, there were good soccer coaches in Asia, but these coaches wouldn't create any advantage for Asia over Europe.
For example, if a petent Asian coach, who was a flagship in Asia, and could even match the European coaches, was put in Europe, this coach wouldn't be as shiny or impressive as he was in Asia. The reason being was that there might be around 20 coaches in Europe, who were at the same level as was this Asian coach.
This was just like a giant panda in an ordinary zoo: This panda must be the star of the zoo, and get the most attention. Some people would buy a ticket to the zoo just to see the panda. However, if the same panda was placed in the breeding base of the giant panda, together with dozens of pandas, this panda would just be an ordinary panda there.
For the same reason, the famous European coaches would definitely search for their team members in Europe. Even though some Asian coaches had reached their standards, these European coaches wouldn't go around the sun to meet the moon, for they really had a lot of candidates of the same level in Europe already.
Therefore, if an Asian coach wanted to have a place in Europe, being at the same level with the European coaches was far from being enough, as you were not good enough for the team to hire you instead of other coaches of same level with you. An Asian coach should be much better than the European coaches, in order to ensure himself a place on the European coach teams.
Another example would be the table tennis event. The reason that the table tennis coaches of China could have a place in the national teams of foreign countries, was that they were much better than their foreign counterparts. Therefore, when Harman expressed his intention to recruit Dai Li, everyone was shocked. Harman's intention was an indirect recognition that Dai Li was better than the European coaches.
After pondering it for several seconds, Claude said first, "Dai Li is really good in the physical training, which could match the high-level physical trainers in Europe. However, he also has some shortings. For example, he can only speak English, and even so, his English is still not really good enough."
All the European coaches in the meeting could speak two or three other languages besides English, such as German, French, Italian and Spanish. Basically, they wouldn't have any problem in municating with all European players. Harman could speak four languages. pared to them, Dai Li could only speak Chinese and English, and his English was not good enough.
Standing beside Claude, Maraloni, who was the Team Doctor, said, "Dai Li's massage manipulation is miraculous, which he has shown to us in the last game. So I will open my arms to wele him to join our medical group."
Claude stared at Maraloni discontentedly, and thought Maraloni was undermining his team, even if Dai Li hadn't been recruited to the coach team.
The Assisting Coach Delassaux gave a knowing smile, and turned aside from this topic, "According to my information, Dai Li has signed a one year contract with Dingtian Club. Now, there are three months before the expiration of the contract. I've heard Dai Li was remended by one of the team's shareholders. Based on his performance, the renewal of his contract with the club will be assured. I guess Dai Li will remain in the club for the next season. We also have one year left before the expiration of the contract between us and Dingtian Club."
"I know what you are talking about," Harman nodded slightly. "You mean the club could renew Dai Li's contract first for the next season, so that we could still have Dai Li work for us, and save a lot of money for our team at the same time."
Harman came to Dingtian Club with his team. The remuneration of each team member had been determined through strict calculation and negotiation. Now, except for Harman, the annual salary of the rest of the team members was about 10 million Euros. One more person would definitely cause additional expenditures.
Delassaux revealed an expression of "you know that
