Arie Haan Press Conference

Arie Haan Press Conference¹

 

All a very good morning! It's still the night for me, so excuse me sometimes.

When I know more about the Chinese football at the beginning, we have of course, have some goals. The first of them will be the Asian Cup 2004, to prepare the team already to ¹⁾qualify² for 2006. So, I believe what I saw about the Chinese football. We can do a good result in Asian Cup and to qualify for Europe for Germany 2006. I have a lot of ²⁾confidence³ to do it. I hope everybody will, then we will also reach it.

What it's about national ³⁾coach, yes, I said I had been 17 years international player, national player, several years club coach, working with a lot of national coaches. So I believe and that is in my mind a long time that the national coach is still different from a club coach. But you have to make more choices, because he has more players where he can choose. The club coaches, there are only 20 players, 22 one time, 18 players, I think I have all country. You choose the players and you work with the players, and I believe I have a lot of confidence to do this.

I have a lot of confidence because otherwise, I wouldn't come so big country and I think it has a very big future here and maybe I like to be a part of it, and this confidence I have to bring the team in a higher level, and what Mr. Hiddink concerns, he did a fantastic job, and certainly we are looking, everybody was looking in Western Europe, especially Holland⁴, where he was working. What a fine job he was doing and I really can hope I do the same. I have surely⁵ the confidence to do it.

 

阿里·汉就任国家队主教练新闻发布会

 

各位早上好！对我来说现在还是晚上，所以请原谅。

我从一开始加深了对中国足球的了解便发现我们有着几个目标：首先是进军2004年的亚洲杯，紧跟着是使球队做好准备，争取获得2006年世界杯的决赛权。所以，我对中国足球有信心，我相信我的眼光。我们能在亚洲杯取得佳绩，也能获得进入2006年德国世界杯的资格。对此我信心十足。我希望大家也是如此，这样我们便会成功。

关于执教国家队，是的，我说过我曾当了17年的国际球员、国家队球员以及好几年的俱乐部教练，这期间我与许多国家队教练共过事。所以很久以来我就知道当国家队教练与当俱乐部教练不一样。但你的抉择更多了，因为你有更多的球员可供挑选。对俱乐部教练来说，时常只有20名、22名，偶尔18名球员可供选择，而现在我想我可以在全国挑选。由你来选择球员并与他们共事，我相信对于做好工作我是信心百倍。

我非常有信心，否则我也不会到这么大的国家来执教。中国足球有远大前程，我很乐意参与进来。我有信心把球队推上一个更高的档次，这也是希丁克先生所关心的，他就干得很出色，我们看到了，在西欧尤其是荷兰，所有的人也都看到了，他的工作有多么出色！我衷心希望自己也能同样出色，对此我当然有信心。
