Finally, Beijing

Waiting for the "firefighters" who arrived from Europe. Ricardo Suarez's reputation is not very strong, but his love affair with soccer is something to behold.
On June 15, four days after the termination of Stanley Menzo's contract, the Imperial Guard brought in a new helmsman from the Portuguese Super League to "save the day". His name is the seemingly ordinary Ricardo Soares.
In the previous finale of the Portuguese Superliga, Suarez, who became a "firefighter" in February, helped Estoril stay in the top flight. Ricardo Soares is no stranger to the background of no strong reinforcements and advocating internal potential, but from Portugal to China, his task is no longer to avoid the worst, but to try to do the best.

The management has already started scouting candidates in Europe, just in case. Several non-first tier coaches who have coached in mainstream European leagues have also been on the Kingsmen's scouting list.
The fact that Ricardo Suarez finally stood out from the rest is probably due to his ability to adjust and adapt at Estoril, and a "fire-fighter" who has performed well in Europe's mainstream leagues seems to be the right fit for Beijing, who are hoping to qualify for the AFC Champions League at this moment.

Without the unconditional support of his wife, Flora Salter, Ricardo Suarez might have had to live permanently in foster care at his father-in-law's house, spending the rest of his life amidst endless chores and the strange looks of others ......
The city of Figueiras, located in the Porto region, has a population of less than 60,000 people, but this small Portuguese city, known for its handmade shoes, has deep soccer roots and has produced such greats as Alvaro Pacheco, Nelsinho, Dani, Zamorano, Pintasilgo and Thiago Moreira.Ricardo Soares was born in this city on November 11, 1974, and influenced by the football atmosphere in his hometown, he grew up aspiring to be a professional footballer. Ricardo Suárez was born on November 11, 1974, and influenced by the soccer atmosphere in his hometown, he aspired to become a professional player from an early age.
In the impression of his good friend Tota, Suarez was a real "ball crazy", every day after school, he would gather his friends from all over the world, and came to an open space in a shoe factory to play soccer. Since then, he has consciously recorded some of the coach's daily instructions for his own study of soccer tactics and training methods. Perhaps, many things are just destined to happen.
Issue 871 of Soccer Weekly is hot off the presses
At the age of 15, Suarez entered the local Fergueras club for training, and became teammates with Tota and another "best friend", Bakero. As a side defender, Tota in the usual training, inevitably and Suarez and Barkero against the position, in his view, Suarez two feet technology balance, soccer talent far more than their own. Just, compared to later selected Portugal U21 national youth team and signed Sevilla's Barkero, Soares lack of good enough opportunities: "Every time I defend them, my legs are like wood, they are another level of players. Barkero made his name early, Ricardo didn't have that opportunity or lacked a coach who appreciated him."
Gradually, the gap between Suarez and his individual teammates grew wider and wider, and although at one point he signed an apprenticeship deal with Guimarães Victory and received a monthly stipend of more than 40 kongs, such glimmers of life did not always appear in Suarez's playing career.
"For a long time in his adult life, Vizela, Liza, Frei Amundi, Lozada, Fafai ...... Suarez played in this lower division and was able to get a very meager salary. Ricardo then returned to FC Filgueiras, but playing in the second division was too much of a stretch for his abilities at the time. He joined the club at the same time as players like Fernando Meira (former Stuttgart captain) and Pedro Mendes (

old general) such a role." With Filgueiras as technical director, Tota was able to take a more rational and objective view of his best friend's professional woes as an adult.

However, in the face of such a difficult life situation, Ricardo Suarez did not give up his solid soccer. During that time, he was playing soccer while earning extra money to make ends meet, because he dared to think and do, very lucrative mind, he was also jokingly referred to as the "head". He said: "In order to subsidize the family, my friend and I opened a small business, we take the shoes to the workers, so that they can sew at home. We sell handmade shoes and deliver the materials to the workers' homes, then when the training is over, we go door-to-door to pick them up and finally deliver them all to the factory."
By earning the "price difference" from handmade shoes, Suarez got rich, and for a while he was very keen on wearing leather jackets and dancing at discos, and almost every year he would go on vacation to Povoa with Tota and Barclay - even when Barclay joined Sevilla later. Sevilla. On top of that, they were very fond of going to the nearby town of Liza to play indoor soccer, which was noticed by the locals.
This free-spirited lifestyle lasted until Suarez was 27 years old - the year he met the love of his life, Flora Salter. After quickly falling in love, he also finally realized: it was time for him to start a family. However, due to his previous overly dashing life, he had emptied his savings and could not afford to bring a better life to his wife. He has no choice but to join his father-in-law's family, even leaving his beloved hometown and the Fair Grass Club to do so.
At the age of 30, Soares ended a far from successful playing career, and with no other financial resources, he relied on his wife's salary alone and his father-in-law's charity to make ends meet. Even in open-minded Portugal, few people can accept a man's lying-in, but from the beginning, Soares never suffered from the cold shoulder and cold treatment in the woman's family. On the contrary, his wife, Flora Salter, has always given him encouragement not to give up his ambitions lightly.
At the lowest point in his life, Suarez felt warmth from his wife, and it was in the company of his loving partner that he developed a good habit that has influenced his life - reading.
Gradually, Suarez broadened the boundaries of his knowledge and clarified his ultimate goal: "There were many times when I saw Ricardo reading a book at the beach. From then on, he gradually began to realize that he had to find a way out for his life again. By evaluating the whole environment, he knew that there was no other way but to become a good coach. I know that Suarez left school at an early age and the only thing he always loved was soccer."
Thinking back to his childhood, Suarez decided to start his own tournament as a way to get back into the game. In the face of almost everyone's disapproval, he took two like-minded assistants and organized and planned a soccer tournament called the "DSL Summer Cup". With the help of his best man, Fabio Paim, and his new friend, Mauricio Pais, who has since followed Suárez from Barcelos to Cairo and Estoril to Beijing.

In hindsight, Suarez made the right move, and through the successful organization of the DSL Summer Cup, he gained the attention and appreciation of many people in the industry, including Paulo Leal, who was interested in running for the presidency of LISA. During a coffee conversation, Leal asked Suarez, "What are your goals for the future?" After receiving the answer "to be a coach", he promised Suarez: "As soon as I finally win the election, you will come and coach with me".
A few years later, Paul Leal did ascend to the throne as president of the Liza club, and he immediately named Suarez to the team, as promised
commander-in-chief
Since then, Suárez has really returned to Portuguese football. Since then, Soares has only really returned to Portuguese football.
Two years later, in 2011, Suarez was entrusted by his hometown parents to take over the coaching reins of Filgueiras 1932. Personal feelings aside, what he took over was indeed a "mess": in 2005, the club was ordered to go bankrupt, and the original members of the team formed a new club a year later, which had to start from the lowest level of the league, in addition to adding the word "1932" to its name. In addition to adding "1932" to their name, they had to start at the lowest level of the league. Suarez felt obliged to take on such a challenge.
In a very short time, Soares had created a tactically aggressive and fielding team with a basic framework of local players. And so it was that the otherwise floundering Fergueras 1932 suddenly awakened, rising two divisions in a row - from the Amateur League of the Porto Region, all the way to the Portuguese Championship.
Only, the club's successive upgrades, does not mean that the team building budget increased and the strength of the lineup, but even with the same set of personnel team, to play a higher level tournament, Suarez also still uphold the pursuit of offensive soccer: "We did not, as many people think, all the game turtles 90 minutes. You know, we have more than 70% possession in many games, and the chances we create are far more than our opponents."
"The re-emergence of Fergueras is really due to the coaching of Suarez, who was born and raised in the city, and almost all the players in the team are also from the local area ...... Our style of play is really engaging, and it's slowly bringing the fans back to the home ground." As a "diehard" and then working partner, Tota witnessed Suarez's efforts and dedication all the way, his words, but also said a lot of people in the heart of the Fergueras.
Suarez ended his second stint with his hometown club in 2015, after which he basically took it one step at a time, gradually completing his metamorphosis from an up-and-coming coach to a lesser representative.
Now, he is already going to mold a brand new Beijing team at the foot of the capital city

: "We want to mold a strong identity and collective concept at the club as a way to get everyone, who can identify with our training style and process. Only then will we be able to make winning a norm, and when we win consecutively, we will be able to accomplish the superb goals set by a club of this size."
This time, can he continue the main line of reversing the tide in Beijing?
