Recently everyone has been saying that the end of the golden dollar era is an opportunity for our local players to explode. Because the big name foreigners can't come and the clubs don't have the money, local players are getting more opportunities, especially in key positions in the central axis. With the increase in matches, surely a lot of local players will explode. But the fact is, not only do local players get a chance, but so do our local coaches. Many teams can't afford not only big-name foreign players, but even foreign coaches, so local coaches have the opportunity to work out in China's top soccer league. This teaching experience will also make them grow.
All along, we think that the backwardness of Chinese soccer is the poor level of players, but in fact our backwardness is all-round, besides players, there are also our coaches. If all our coaches are only theoretical and not practical, how can we produce good local players? Their ideas are not advanced enough and not down-to-earth enough. How can our players fully understand and grow up quickly? Therefore, it is equally important to develop good local coaches.
This season, we have seen some local coaches perform very well. For example, under the guidance of Yu Genwei of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, he led the young Jinmen Tigers to go undefeated in 10 rounds of matches. Also, Wu Jingui of Shanghai Shenhua led his team in a youthful storm. There is also coach Xie Hui, who led Dalian to fight back. Of course, Shenzhen's head coach Chen Tao surprised us the most. He actually led a team that everyone thought would surely be relegated to the next level to complete the comeback time and again.
In the just-concluded 10th round of the Chinese Super League, Shenzhen hosted Meizhou Hakka. Meizhou Hakka scored two goals very quickly in the first half, and even one goal was blown. After half time, I believe many fans will think this Shenzhen team will definitely lose, because Shenzhen team can't see the possibility of a comeback in terms of strength and performance.
But the second half suddenly changed. First, in the 73rd minute of the game, Shenzhen sent a precise long pass from the backfield, and Achimpen killed the box and succeeded from a long distance! The score became 1-2!
Then in the 76th minute of the game, Achimpen inverted the triangle and Zhang Yuan pushed the ball directly into the goal without making any adjustments! 2-2! Shenzhen equalized!
Finally, in the 86th minute of the game, Shenzhen quickly counterattacked, Achimpen crossed diagonally inside the penalty area and Liu Yue darted in to send the ball into the goal! 3-2! Shenzhen completed the overtaking!
It's really surprising to see Shenzhen complete a 3 goal comeback in just 13 minutes. How did this happen? In fact, fans familiar with the Shenzhen team will not be surprised, because the Shenzhen team this season almost never lead, always first behind, but always in the final moments of the game to equalize the score, beyond the game. It seems like after seventy or eighty minutes of the game, it's their moment, the king of comebacks.
As we all know, the Shenzhen team almost disbanded before the season, until the last minute, with the help of all parties and the compromise of the players, the team could enter. However, after entering Shenzhen, they were still short of money. With a good player gone for good, the foreign coach naturally couldn't afford it, so he promoted Chen Tao, the coach of the ladder team, to head coach. Chen Tao used to be the center of the midfield for our 85 national youth. He scored his second plum against Germany at the World Youth Championship in Holland and was considered a rare midfield master in Chinese soccer. However, unfortunately, due to the poor soccer environment at the time, Chen Tao not only didn't stay in Europe, but at one point played in the field.
But I did not expect that the Shenzhen team led by Chen Tao, although the lineup is either old and weak or young and young, has exploded with extremely high spiritual attributes. Always able to stand in the difficulties and create miracles. We really see the shadow of 85 national youth. It turns out that Chen Tao is the spiritual totem of the 85 national youth.
