Football News: The past few foreign coaches of the national football team have been unsatisfactory. It is understandable to give Shao Jia a chance.
6686 Sports News on November 6th Yesterday, the Chinese Football Association officially announced that the 45-year-old local coach Shao Jiayi will be the new head coach of the Chinese men's football team. "Football News" reporter Chen Yong published an article expressing his opinions on this candidate.
The article stated that although Shao Jiayi’s coaching resume is indeed somewhat thin, his final victory was due to both background factors and his personal reasons.
Looking at the overall background, the past three foreign coaches of the national football team, including world-class coach Lippi, the unknown Jankovic, and Ivankovic who has coached in Asia for many years, all had unsatisfactory final results. In this case, it is understandable to give local coaches a chance.
In addition, another major background is that the Chinese men's basketball team, under the leadership of local coach Guo Shiqiang, returned to the Asian Cup finals after 10 years. The team not only showed a very good spirit, but its technical and strategic performance was also recognized. This shows that as long as there is enough space, local coaches can also make a difference.
On a personal level, several of Shao Jiayi’s qualities have also been widely recognized: first, he has worked for the Chinese Football Association and national-level teams for a long time, and is very familiar with the work of the Chinese Football Association and national-level teams; second, his personal accomplishments have been generally recognized, including his rigorous work style; third, he attaches great importance to coaching team building. Although he is a local coach, there are many foreign assistants in his coaching team on the West Coast, including chief assistant coach Maurer; fourth, at the technical and strategic level, the technical and strategic play of rapid conversion and high pressure that he advocated left a deep impression on people. After being polished in league matches, the low guard strategy has also been well applied.
