China Super League (soccer league)
The league, despite its limited overall strength, has welcomed many of the biggest names in world soccer. However, why is there no foreign goalkeeper among the many foreign players? China
national soccer team
Association's ban on the introduction of foreign goalkeepers, whether or not it is related to the Shandong
Luneng (city in Shandong)
Team related? What's going on behind the scenes?
The story begins in Shandong in 1999.
Luneng (city in Shandong)
The team brought in foreign head coach Slobodan Santrazzi to talk about it.
1999, Shandong
Luneng (city in Shandong)
Tarzan looked for a change of manager and finally chose Slobodan Santellacci, who was named one of the "Ten Most Successful Coaches in the World" the year before.
Santrazzi, during his time as coach of the Yugoslav national team, led the team in the 1998
World Cup
The team reached the Round of 16 and remained undefeated in the play-offs.
Prior to his upcoming coaching trip to China, Santrazzi spoke to the
Luneng (city in Shandong)
The team recommended its national team disciple - Sasha Petrovic (goalkeeper).
At the time it was not uncommon to bring in goalkeeper foreigners in the Central League, but given the recommendation of the new head coach
Luneng (city in Shandong)
The team took a chance and brought in Sasha as well.
Sasha was not well known in world soccer at the time, being 32 years old and mixing in the Yugoslavian domestic league, the South Korean league, and the Liga B, with an overall mediocre performance.
In Santrazzi's Yugoslav national team, Sasha was only the third goalkeeper, a fringe player.
However, this seemingly ordinary foreign goalkeeper, in the first season of the first league showed "goal god descending".
In 26 games, 13 goals have been conceded for an average of just 0.5.
Despite his mediocre experience, Sasha officially represented Shandong during the 1999 season given the recommendation of the head coach
Luneng (city in Shandong)
Out of the Central League.
As a result, the goalie descended on the Central League.
Throughout the season, Shandong
Luneng (city in Shandong)
In a total of 26 games played, goals guarded by Sasha have been breached only 13 times, including a number of goals conceded as a result of errors at the back.
26 games, 13 goals allowed, and an average of just 0.5 goals allowed per game.
For those of you who don't know much about soccer, you may not have much of an idea about 0.5 goals conceded per game. Let me give you a few simple examples for comparison.
China Super League (soccer league)
Guangzhou, the seven-time champion
Evergrande (name)
In their best season, they conceded an average of 0.8 goals per game, which was also supported by the league's top backline at the time. (The 0.8 was also contained in the Central League
China Super League (soccer league)
(Record of the best level of local goalkeepers in the league)
Last year Transfer Market released a list that took stock of the goals conceded per game averages of the top teams in Europe, and at the top of the list was
Juventus, Italian football team
, conceding an average of 0.83 goals per game. (
Bayern
0.84 is in second place,
Manchester United Football Club
和
Chelsea
(third place with 0.9)
Can't intuitively use the Central League though,
China Super League (soccer league)
League to compare with Europe's top giants, but it also serves to side-step Sasha by conceding goals per game in the
Luneng (city in Shandong)
Or in the league as a whole. (It's not too much of a downgrade to say that this is just one unknown foreign player)
upsetting the balance of the league and affecting the development of local goalkeepers.
soccer league
There is no choice but to introduce a ban
It's no exaggeration to say that Sasha's presence has upset the balance of the league in some ways, and this has caused other teams to be "jealous".
After the 1999 Central League season, the then head coach of Tianjin said bluntly, "If we had Sasha, we could have won the championship too."
As soon as they saw how good foreign goalkeepers were, other teams started jumping on the bandwagon and started attracting them.
But if the league is full of foreign goalkeepers, to a large extent, it will completely limit the development of local goalkeepers, it is estimated that a season even the opportunity to play, which is certainly not conducive to the development of Chinese soccer.
In addition, not every team can find a suitable foreign goalkeeper, so the team without a foreign goalkeeper is bound to have opinions or even dissatisfaction.
In the face of such problems, China
soccer league
The ban was eventually formalized at the end of 2000: starting with the 2001 season, the league prohibited any team from bringing in a foreign goalkeeper.
Not long after the ban, Sasha left Shandong
Luneng (city in Shandong)
, then announced his retirement. Sasha was said to have wanted to stay in
Luneng (city in Shandong)
Being a goalie coach, but at that time his own mentor Santrazzi already had a big conflict with the team's management, plus other factors, and eventually did not stay in our country to start a coaching career.
From what I can find online, Sasha, now 54, is working as an assistant coach for a team in Serbia's domestic league.
concluding remarks
At this point, this is a brief explanation of why it is said that China
China Super League (soccer league)
The league banned the introduction of foreign goalkeepers with
Luneng (city in Shandong)
The team is somewhat related.
If you look at it with today's eyes, you have to say that Sasha at that time had much powerful goal line technology, it seems that it really does not count, but he relied on solid goal line fundamentals, far from the domestic local goalkeeper left behind.
Other sports do not dare to say, but in terms of the Chinese men's soccer team, it seems that the lack of really solid basic skills.
