Salvador gave an interview to the domestic media after Guangzhou completed their relegation to the Central League, talking about the team's current situation, future plans and his coaching experience in the league. The famous coach from South America said confidently that Guangzhou is expected to surpass its goal in three years.
Speaking about the team's young players, Salvador praised him. In particular, 19-year-old Xu Bin impressed him. He said, "Xu Bin is one of the most surprising players in the team. His skills are very comprehensive. He is a typical hexagonal fighter. He plays very efficiently and I am very happy with the fight and sacrifice." However, he also revealed that some of the players in the team need to adjust their mentality; they are too cocky and think they are the absolute centerpiece and are not willing to be substitutes. Salvador emphasized, "If their mentality doesn't change, there won't be much development or improvement."
Talking about his coaching experience in the First Division, Salvador said there was a monster that was hard to understand. That is to say, whenever Guangzhou was ahead to score in a match, the opponents would resort to all kinds of delaying tactics, as if they didn't want to continue the game. This phenomenon is common in the First Division and Salvador doesn't understand it. The game should be a fair competition, but some teams will choose to play negatively when they are behind, which is not conducive to the healthy development of the league.
Apparently, the monster mentioned by Salvador has existed in Chinese soccer for a long time, with a similar situation in the Chinese Super League, and even worse in the First Division, where there are more local coaches and fewer foreigners. This phenomenon not only affects the viewing of matches, but also questions the fairness of Salvador and other coaches to the league.
Despite such troubles, Salvador remains confident about Guangzhou's future. He said that as long as the players adjust their mentality and train hard, the team is expected to achieve beyond its goal in three years. "I believe in our strength and I believe the music department will give us enough support. As long as we work together, Guangzhou can return to the Super League stage." Salvador said firmly.
To summarize, Salvador not only saw the potential of young players to relegate in Guangzhou, but also encountered the trouble of delay in the game. Facing the future challenges, he is full of confidence and believes that with the efforts of all staff, Guangzhou will soon rise again. As for the delays in the Central League, it is also hoped that the relevant departments will pay attention to the matter and effectively strengthen the management to make the league fairer and more exciting.
