Cai Zhenhua, 63, is expected to return to the Football Association (FA) in a key role as Chinese soccer dawns. It can be said that Cai Zhenhua is one of the few officials who have safely retired from the FA. After the Chen Xuyuan incident, fans realized that Cai Zhenhua is the one who really thinks about Chinese soccer. Next up, the CFA will hold a new replacement process in October, with the Asian region getting 8.5 slots with the expansion of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Although Chinese soccer has won two consecutive matches in recent warm-ups, the country still retains the best chance to reach the World Cup.
Newly appointed FA president Song Kai is a practical man who has made a brilliant career at the Liaoning Sports Bureau. Prior to this, Sun Wen and Gao Hongbo were retained as subordinates to Chen Xuyuan. Song Kai knows that for Chinese soccer to develop, it still needs people with real insight to get involved so that Chinese soccer can make progress. Gao Zhidan of the State General Administration of Sports is also a genius of Song Kai. Cai Zhenhua has high prestige in Chinese soccer and has his own leadership skills. If Cai Zhenhua returns, he can help the CFA move forward and play a very important role under the guidance of the CFA.
No team can win two AFC titles in 10 years from now. In any case, Cai Zhenhua has been very successful in major political soccer. The highlight of Asia's first home stadium, Tianhe Stadium, has made many soccer-loving fans excited and proud. During the period when Cai Zhenhua led the golden dollar soccer, many talents emerged, such as Ri Lin, Zheng Zhi, No.5, Wu Lei, Wang Dalei and so on. They were already at the best level of the national soccer team. They also invited Lippi to coach and created the glory belonging to Chinese soccer qualifiers, which proves that Cai Zhenhua is still very experienced and wise.
During his years in the FA, Cai Zhenhua has brought joy to the fans and the greatest hope of storming into the World Cup. And the leader who can muddy the waters is the most admirable. Cai Zhenhua, 63, was invited by the General Administration of Sport and is expected to return to the CFA to take on the role of soccer advisor, according to a Football Daily reporter.
In fact, Cai Zhenhua has retired and he has been worried about the development of Chinese sports. He has repeatedly introduced a table tennis platform to promote the game, but now he has revealed that he wants to return to the Football Association at this moment in time, out of his love for Chinese sports. As a soccer consultant, he doesn't have much power or salary. It's also amazing that Cai Zhenhua is receptive and willing to contribute to the country's sports and try to bring Chinese soccer to the World Cup again.
