It's been more than a month since Kasper returned to Europe and the release has allowed him to speak more freely about the
China Super League (soccer league)
He has also been a member of the Guangzhou Football Club, which is the largest football club in the world. Recently, he accepted an exclusive interview with the domestic media, which was the first time he had an in-depth communication with the domestic media after he left the team, during which he did not hesitate to share some of the stories behind his departure from the team, as well as the lesser-known past events during his coaching of the Guangzhou team.
Kashai frankly said, seemingly sudden decision to leave the team, but actually a long time to plan: last year in Doha to fight the Asian Championship, he discussed with the club to leave the team. He has been away from his family for the past 11 months, and has been away from his family for eight months this year, and his departure is only for family reasons and has nothing to do with money. Despite the negative rumors about the club, the team actually paid his salary on time for the first eight months of the year, and he is convinced that the team is sound, at least financially. He also took the initiative to leave the team, giving up 15 months of salary and bonuses totaling nearly 179 million RMB.
In addition, Kasai had also disagreed with the club on certain issues, such as on the introduction of naturalized players. He said that at first he was forced to accept naturalized players, and initially he did not agree with the move, as the head coach needs to consider all aspects, and did not want to invest all the budget on naturalized players. But he also understands the team's goal of developing international players.
However, the subsequent facts are well known, and Kasper proudly stated that he found a balance between achieving excellent results and the use of naturalized players. This season, Aixon found his shooting senses, Gaolat and Allan performed well, Luo Guofu lost weight successfully and returned to the national team, but unfortunately, he could not lead the team to the championship again.
Another thing that Kasai is proud of is the completion of the team's renewal. He pointed out that the new generation of players such as Yan Dinghao and Yang Liyu are fully qualified to enter the national team, and it is the rise of this group of players that made the average age of the team drop from 33 to 23 years old.
Finally, the Italian expressed concern about the development of the national soccer team: four or five years ago, the

The league is quite high level and is very attractive, driven by high level foreign aid. However, the situation has changed with the implementation of a series of policies. For example, the policy on the use of young players has become increasingly complicated, with some teams playing youngsters just to cope with the policy, and they tend to come off after a few minutes on the pitch, which is pointless.
He cited the example of Quan Quan's foreign aid Witsel back in the day. He came

It was certainly for the high salary, but it also brought new ideas and role modeling, showing Chinese players how to train, play, and eat in order to maintain a high level of athleticism, which the national football team should learn from. Unfortunately, the implementation of the salary limit now leads to the departure of these outstanding players.
