Sun Wen's support has undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for Chen Wanting's coaching career! I am convinced that Sun Wen's positive attitude is not for nothing, she has a deep insight into Chen Wanting's strength and potential. This trust is not only a high degree of recognition for Chen Wanting personally, but also a bright vision for the future of Chinese women's football. Despite Chen Wanting's outstanding performance in terms of results and ability, her chances of becoming a women's soccer coach are almost negligible when analyzed rationally. This is precisely where the problem of soccer registration lies, as mentioned by Li Xuan. She revealed that the primary goal of the FA's selection process is to bring in foreign coaches. This implies that even if Chen Wanting has achieved remarkable success in the domestic league.
In my opinion, although this coach selection strategy has its own rationality, but it also lurks in the risk. Foreign coaches may be able to introduce cutting-edge tactical concepts and training methods, but they do not have a good grasp of Chinese soccer's local culture and players' qualities. In contrast, local coaches have an advantage in communication, management and cultural integration. In addition, Li Xuan also disclosed that at the end of Shui Qingxia's coaching, there were contradictory voices within the team, which also brought a lot of pressure on the young Chen Wanting to take over the women's soccer coaching position. An excellent coach not only needs to have excellent tactical skills, but also strong leadership and team cohesion.
Whether or not the young Chen Wanting can overcome these challenges, one cannot help but feel that the future path of Chinese women's soccer is indeed worthy of deep consideration. According to Jiang Ning, although Chen Wanting failed to become the head coach of the women's soccer team, her coaching talent and potential are undoubtedly unique. We look forward to Coach Chen Wanting's progress. So, do you want Chen Wanting to be the head coach of our women's soccer team?
