"The scrolls are sealed and the brave return to their homes. Glory curtain, return to the embrace of youthful years." The passage of time, the vicissitudes of life remain the same, Yin Tiesheng in Shandong fans in the heart of the position of more than 30 years as solid as a rock, his dedication to soccer and the deep love of Shandong soccer is also like the first time to see.
In 2022, the Shandong soccer coach brought Qingdao Hainiu back to the highest stage of domestic soccer, which was a glorious moment for Qingdao soccer and Yin Tiesheng. 2023, Qingdao Hainiu, as a soccer veteran, is in the spotlight due to the impact of the previous season's many fierce battles. Yin Tiesheng's question, "Will my heart still be strong enough to fight the drums again?" became a hot topic of discussion among Shandong fans. However, on February 13th, Qingdao Hainiu announced that Antonio Gomez would take over as the new manager, and Yin Tiesheng would leave the coaching position for the time being.
"The decision to change the manager is not made by Qingdao Hainiu. The club made the decision on the basis of fully respecting Yin Tiesheng's personal will. "The biggest regret of my life is that I can't play for my country, if I have the talent of Maradona, I can also lead the team in the battlefield." Yin Tiesheng insisted on defensive counterattack tactics, perhaps not enough to help Qingdao Sea Cow in the Chinese Super League to the next level, but this does not mean that his total rejection. In the past five years, he has led his team to the B Grade, A Grade and Super League four times, as the deserved "promotion king", Yin Tiesheng does not need to prove himself in the Super League, and the new honor is no longer important to him.
"Health problems", these four simple words seem to be an understatement, but may cover all the doubts. This year, at the age of 67, Yin Tiesheng, who has never given up soccer or left Shandong soccer, ended his coaching career at Qingdao Hainiu, but left a faint regret in his long coaching career. Giving up his qualification for the Chinese Super League does not prevent Qingdao fans from understanding and supporting his new journey.
As the soldiers leave the Iron Blood Battalion, Qingdao soccer quickly welcomes a new coach, one who has not only made great contributions to Qingdao soccer, but is also a great person to have in the coaching box. In the new season, Su Maozhen will join Antonio Gomez as a member of the Chinese coaching staff to fight in the Chinese Super League. With the former's reputation in Shandong and the latter's "iron-fisted management" and "decisive decision-making", Qingdao is still expected to be a strong contender for domestic soccer in 2023.
