With the end of the golden dollar era, local players have the opportunity to blossom. The absence of big-name foreigners and the financial pressure on clubs has led to local players taking on heavier roles in the team, especially in key positions along the central axis. The increased frequency of matches will undoubtedly stimulate the explosive power of many local players. However, the opportunities are not limited to local coaches, who are also on the cusp of growth. Many teams are unable to bring in big-name foreign players or even foreign coaches due to financial reasons, which provides a good opportunity for local coaches to sharpen their skills in China's top soccer leagues. Such teaching practice will undoubtedly help them move to greater heights.
For a long time, we always blame the plight of Chinese soccer on the lack of players, but the problem is more complex. The professionalism of the coaching team should not be ignored. If the coaches only stay at the theoretical level and lack practical experience, how can they train good local players? Their thinking is often too rigid and lacks the rigor of actual combat. Therefore, forging a high-level local coaching team is also crucial.
This season, many local coaches stand out. For example, Yu Genwei of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers led his team to remain undefeated in 10 rounds of matches; Wu Jingui of Shanghai Shenhua set off a youthful storm; and Xie Hui of Dalian people is known for his counter-attacking tactics. And Shenzhen's head coach Chen Tao is even more remarkable, he led the team in the seemingly certain defeat, repeatedly staged a reversal of the drama.
In the 10th round of the Chinese Super League, Shenzhen hosted Meizhou Hakka. In the first half, Meizhou Hakka scored two goals in a row to take the lead. But in the second half, Shenzhen scored two goals in the 73rd and 76th minutes to tie the game. Finally, in the 86th minute, Liu Yue's shovel shot helped the team to complete the rebound and win 3-2.
In just 13 minutes, Shenzhen completed a jaw-dropping 3-goal comeback. This is due to the team's consistent counterattacking tactics. Although the team was overstretched at the beginning of the season, Chen Tao led the team to create miracles in the face of adversity and became synonymous with counterattacks.
Before the season, the Shenzhen team almost disbanded, but with the help of all parties, the team was able to rebuild. Despite financial constraints, the team was able to play with extremely high spiritual attributes. Chen Tao, the 85 national youth midfield master, became the team's spiritual pillar.
