You must be brave if you want to make progress. Schlappner was the first "foreign monk" to coach men's soccer in China. During the period of 1992, people have lost confidence in coaches in China, and many people have called for hiring foreign coaches. China Football Association began to choose coaches. How to choose foreign coaches is unfamiliar to the football field in China, which has been closed for many years. Just as some enterprises compete to buy foreign equipment when the country is open, whether they can buy good goods is also a science, especially for first-time buyers. In fact, there was a very suitable person at that time, that is, Neptunia, who just surprised the world with Cameroon at the World Cup in Italy. But later, I chose Schlapp, which is much more expensive and has poor performance. Schlapp may be invited because Shanghai Volkswagen is willing to invest in a German coach.

At first, Schlapp was not a braggart. At least in Germany, he had to look at himself realistically. In his autobiography, he explained his life story clearly: "My level of playing football is getting lower and lower: the third team, the fourth team, and finally the fifth team with the lowest adult group. 2/kloc-started military service at the age of 0/and took off his military uniform at the age of 22 ... "Schlapp was most proud that he brought Mannheim of the second team into the first team and won the sixth place. It's really not easy. He has the coaching certificates of German first-class and second-class teams, and he is by no means a mediocre person. China fans were greatly stimulated by football, and coach China gave them too much disappointment. They are too eager to have a character who can make Gan Kun reverse Gan Kun. And foreign coaches are undoubtedly the sustenance of their traumatized hearts.

Schlappner led the team to play domestic and international competitions without any bright spots. The only successful coach was the Asian Cup. 10 Asian Cup, he led China to a draw and a loss. After losing 2-3 to Japan in the semi-final, he beat the United Arab Emirates on penalties in the third and fourth finals and won the third place.
