At the beginning of the season, there were only three local coaches coaching in the Super League. However, after 6 rounds, Chen Yang, who led the team with 1 win, 5 losses and 3 points, suddenly resigned. Then, Xie Hui came back.
In terms of results, the team led by Zhao Junzhe and Yu Genwei has achieved good results in addition to Chen Yang, who has been dismissed, and Xie Hui, who has just finished his new job. Also in six rounds of action, Cangzhou Lions ranked fourth on the table with four wins, one draw and one loss scoring 11 goals, eight goals and 13 points. Tianjin Jinmen Tigers ranked fifth with three wins, two draws and one loss scoring 11 goals and 11 points. Although the Chinese Super League has just played 6 rounds this season, the current results do not tell the whole story, but from the perspective of the opponents of Cangzhou Lions and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, the current results are still valuable.
Among them, under the leadership of Zhao Junzhe, Cangzhou Lions beat paper-strong Chengdu Rongcheng 1-0 at home and Wuhan Sanzhen, the champion of the 2022 Chinese Super League season, 3-2 on the road; moreover, in the just-concluded sixth round of the tournament, they scored three consecutive goals after trailing by two goals at home to turn back the promotion horse, Qingdao West Coast, and showed great toughness.
Under Gen Wei's command, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers beat another newly promoted horse, and last season's Central League champions Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, 4-0 on the road. He then beat Changchun Yatai 1-0 away and Qingdao West Coast 3-1, leading his team to three straight away wins. Only two coaches have done that so far this season, the other being Shanghai Shenhua's Slutsky. Of course, in comparison, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are not performing well at home. First he shook hands with Nantong Zhiyun 1-1, then lost to Chengdu Rongcheng 2-3, and then handed Meizhou Hakka a 0-0 whitewash. This needs to be summarized by Yu Genwei to continue to improve.
Next, Yu Genwei, Zhao Junzhe and Xie Hui are facing new challenges and tests. Especially Xie Hui, who has just taken up the coaching whip, is in front of Changchun Yatai with only 3 points and the danger of being relegated to the bottom. How he can inspire and improve the team's fighting spirit, and lead the team out of the quagmire, is really a difficult problem. Let's take a look at the first half of the next opponent: Wuhan Three Town (away), Meizhou Hakka, Shenzhen New Pengcheng, Nantong Zhiyun (away), Shanghai Port (away), Beijing Guoan, Qingdao West Coast (away), Henan, Zhejiang (away), can be said to be a bad kick, the field is a hard battle, Xie Hui and his disciples, can only be a game of fight, a point to grab.
If the Cangzhou Lions and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers continue to be strong and Changchun Yatai come out of the woods, then the local managers represented by Zhao Junzhe, Yu Genwei and Xie Hui will continue to prove themselves and become popular again. Chinese Super League teams may welcome more local managers. What do you think?
