China Super League (soccer league)

As the league draws near, teams are actively preparing for their matches. However, Guangzhou's head coach, Carlo Cannavaro, set off on a cycling trip to the Nankun Mountains in Longmen County, Huizhou, with two of his friends, during the traditional Qingming Festival, during which he appeared to be taking things extraordinarily easy. Staggeringly, the 48-year-old former Italy international completed the 217-kilometer ride in seven hours!

It's been nearly a decade since Cannavaro retired, but his performance of riding 217 kilometers in seven hours at an average speed of 30.4 kilometers per hour is a testament to his incredible fitness and speed. I'm afraid it wouldn't be difficult to play a full 90 minutes if he was brought back on as a center back. In fact, Kasai not only shared his cycling experience on social media many times, but also rode 50 kilometers on Ersha Island in Guangzhou, so it can be seen that in addition to soccer, cycling is also one of his hobbies.

However, Cannavaro's managerial career has not been fully recognized by the fans. Although he coached the Guangzhou team for the second time, the coaching results did not meet the expectations of the fans. During the coaching period, he was nearly dismissed many times, and even lost the right to attract reinforcements, and was even once rumored to return to Italy to coach. As we all know.

The dominant Guangzhou team is a top Asian giants team, which not only has big international stars in terms of players, but also quite famous in terms of coaches. Looking at the entire Guangzhou team history, it has had Lee Jang-soo,

However, the most controversial in the history of the Guangzhou team is undoubtedly the "Silver Fox" Lippi's disciples, 2006

There have been ups and downs, but the young coach is an idol of the players and is quite convincing in the locker room. In a situation where his family is a friend of the players and a coach of the players, the inexperienced Cannavaro was able to take the team to the last eight of the AFC Champions League and lead the way.

Not satisfied with that little record, so he was replaced by Brazilian manager Scolari after half a season, but the "first into the palace" of the Cannavaro has left a deep impression on the Guangzhou fans.

Then when he returned to Guangzhou to coach the team for the second time, his young coaching experience as well as his technical and tactical abilities were completely exposed to the fans. At that time, Guangzhou

This dominant team has encountered an unprecedented crisis in its team history. According to the current trend, Guangzhou will no longer bring in any players before the new season, and will probably focus on developing young players in the new season, and winning the championship may no longer be the most important goal for Guangzhou.

Look at the neighbors.

Signing foreign aiders one after another, Kasai's heart must not be a general flavor. Just yesterday.

With the third new foreign aid in place - Colombian foreign aid Caldona - and Swedish foreign aid Vinjasun, who is in quarantine, the team's five foreign aiders will soon be together.

For the last two months.

The pace of reinforcements is very steady, almost maintaining the rhythm of one official announcement a week to two weeks. At the end of last season, only one foreigner, Dembele, stayed with the team. Former Polish giants Legia Warsaw player, 29-year-old Guilherme was the first to announce the joining of the team, solidifying the strength of the team's frontcourt. Then 28-year-old center forward Thiago signed a two-year contract with the team, Thiago previously played for the

Championship favorite now, but it's still a very attractive project." In the first phase of the new season, Kasai may face the situation of fewer people to rotate, first of all, the two core foreign aid Paulinho and Talisker's return time is undecided, the strength of the midfield is greatly reduced, and it is very easy to disconnect between the ends of attack and defense.

In addition, Zhang Linpeng, the center of the defense, underwent surgery after he was injured in the AFC Champions League, but the result was not satisfactory. After returning home, he underwent another surgery and is still recovering, thus missing the

There is also a high probability of missing the first stage of the game.

This is about the Guangzhou team are already a little serious about the right and left back to speak to the blow will be even greater, Kashian even have to go to find other players to guest. More worrying for the fans is that the

Not available for a long period of time, Paulinho and Zhang Linpeng are the team's on-field captain and vice-captain, so once both are unable to play, the impact about the team is bound to be great.

Especially this year's

The league follows a points system, which also reduces the chance of competing for the title, so the long-term lack of core players will still have a great impact on the team. In any case, Guangzhou is still expected to overcome the difficulties and strive to deliver a satisfactory answer in the 2021 season.
