Recently, the issue of selecting a coach for the national soccer team has once again become the center of attention. In order to better prepare the national soccer team for the Asian Cup and World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) prefers to appoint a high-level coach with relative knowledge of Asian soccer as the new coach of the national soccer team. Chinese Super League and Asian coaches including Paulo Bento, Queiroz, and Ola Royo have become popular candidates for new national soccer coaches. However, these foreign coaches have invariably demanded high salaries from the Chinese Football Association (CFA), leaving the new coach in a difficult stage of production. As the new coach did not produce the current coach Li Xiaopeng can only continue to serve as the famous coach of the national soccer team.
Just when the Chinese Football Association (CFA) and fans were overwhelmed by the candidates for the head coach of the national football team, former Vietnam national team head coach Park Hang-wook took the initiative to show his goodwill to the national football team. The Vietnam Football Association (VFA) has officially announced the appointment of former Japan national team head coach Jean-Pierre Troussier as the new coach of the Vietnam national team. South Korean coach Park Hang-wook left. According to Vietnamese media reports, Park Heng-wook publicly said in an interview with media reporters that he had wanted to try his hand in China before taking over the Vietnam national team. Park Heng-wook was shocked when he received an invitation from the Vietnam Football Association. Considering his age, he thought it was unlikely that the Vietnam Football Association would extend an invitation to him and he was very hesitant because she didn't know anyone in Vietnam, but his wife elaborated on the development plans of Southeast Asian soccer and eventually, with his wife pulling the strings, he managed to reach an agreement on coaching with the Vietnam Football Association.
During Park Hang-wook's tenure at the helm of the Vietnam national team, the team's level improved significantly, defeating China in the final match of the Round of 12. There is no doubt about the coaching ability of this South Korean coach. What's more surprising is that this report came to light at a sensitive time when the selection of the national soccer team was difficult, all of which reveals Park Heng-wook's goodwill towards the CFA. If the FA invites the South Korean iron coach, he will certainly not refuse. For the CFA, big name coaches have been offering high prices, which is difficult for the FA to bear. If they hire Park Heng-wook, the price is relatively low. Moreover, Park Heng-wook has coached in Vietnam for many years, led the team to the Top 12 and has a better understanding of Asian teams. He fully meets the CFA's selection criteria.
At present, Chinese soccer is in an extraordinary period. Even hiring a high-level foreign coach will not guarantee an improvement in the performance of the national soccer team. In such a context, it is better to hire some relatively inexpensive coaches with relative knowledge of Asian soccer to be in charge of the national soccer team. Currently, Park Hang-wook, who was fired by the Vietnam Football Association, has become one of the most ideal candidates for the new coach of the national soccer team. I wonder if the CFA would be willing to lower their standards and hire a Korean coach to succeed Li.
