Guangzhou have reaped significant results from the coaching change, going undefeated in consecutive matches since the change and gaining four points from their last two games. First, in new head coach Salvador's first game in the job, Guangzhou won the Guangdong derby with a 2-1 victory over Dongguan Guanlian. Now another draw in Wuxi, Salvador has been very effective as Guangzhou's head coach so far.
So what is the effect of Guangzhou's coaching change? Abdulwahab Ayniwal said in an interview: "The hero of the goal against Wuxi Wuhu Abdulwahab said: "The biggest change is that the playing style is different from before. Every coach has his own tactical philosophy and El Salvador's playing style is different, which is the biggest change. In his training, there are many small ball confrontations every time, which coach Liu used to have, but there wouldn't be as many and they wouldn't last as long. The attack feels more direct now. In the past it might have emphasized more on consistency, but now the new coach is emphasizing more on directness, including some high-pressure hitting, but it also tests the physical condition."
With four points in two rounds after a coaching change, Guangzhou have gone from having difficulty winning one game to getting better and better, which has lifted them up the table. After gaining their seventh point this season, Guangzhou temporarily overtook Liaoning Shenyang and ranked 13th in the Central League. The last two teams in this season's Central League A enter next season's Central League B. If they keep up the good momentum, Guangzhou's hope of relegation is still high.
Guangzhou will soon face Shanghai Harbor, their opponent in the AFC Cup, followed by a home match against Jiangxi Lushan, and then an away match against Dandong Tengyue. We are looking forward to Guangzhou's outstanding performance in the coming matches.
