In the New Year's Day bell ringing, about the national football coach of the four main criteria quietly out: proficiency in Asian soccer, can quickly get started, has the international competition command experience, and for foreign coaches. At the same time, those in Asia and the Chinese Super League has a wealth of teaching age of foreign coaches, theoretically may be among the candidates. The news came out, public opinion is abuzz, fans, media, industry insiders have heated debate, guessing the recommended candidates. Stojkovic, Paul Bento, Ola Royo, Queiroz, Petro and a host of other names, almost covering all the coaches who have had dealings with the national football team, have become a favorite candidate for the national football team manager. A self media even a few days in a row to "only choose the right, do not choose expensive, the Football Association has locked xxx" as the title, only the name of the foreign coach varies.
Cao Rui strongly supports Olaoluu in the interview.
Recently, with the Zhejiang team into the FA Cup final, Qiaodi became the eyes of the national football coach "hot". Cao Rui, who led Nantong Zhiyun to achieve a breakthrough, strongly recommended Ola Lajo in an interview, calling him "the most suitable candidate recognized in the circle". However, both with the Zhejiang team to renew the contract of Qiaodi, or frequently mentioned Ola Royu, have been denied by other media sources. Seeing the Chinese New Year to determine the new coach of the national football team before the node is getting closer and closer, the national football coach is still pending. It seems that Li Xiaopeng temporary national team leader of the "alternative program", is likely to become a reality.
What is the reason for the difficulty in producing a national football manager? Mainly because of the negative attitude of the Football Association. Since the 12 games out of the game, the Chinese men's football has entered a "dormant period", the next nine months, the national soccer coaching position is vacant. The top management of the FA did not clearly answer whether Li Xiaopeng renewed his contract, not to mention seriously looking for new coaching candidates, and even no clear direction for the selection of coaches. Of course, the federation is not without thought of solutions, such as the national Olympic coach Yankovic "one-shoulder", but with the postponement of the Asian Games in Hangzhou, this plan is no longer feasible, and Yankovic himself is not interested in taking over the national football team. Until the end of last year, the FA began to seriously consider the national football coach candidates, but coincided with the former coach Li Tie was investigated, the national football coach has become a "hot potato". Local coaches such as Pedro and Jordy and other Chinese Super League current foreign coaches, but also do not want to stir up the water at this time, so there are the above four selection criteria. In other words, the national football team re-attention to foreign coaches is not long-term planning, but a desperate move.
Against this backdrop, the process of selecting a manager for the national soccer team was naturally not swift, and the Chinese Football Association (CFA) lacked confidence in hiring Lippi, making it difficult to offer a competitive salary. Cao Rui's recommendation of Ola Royu is a typical case. In terms of conditions, Olaroyo had led Jiangsu Suning to beat Evergrande to win the title, revolutionizing the team's style and meeting the FA's criteria in all aspects. He has hinted that he is willing to coach the Chinese men's soccer team. But on the one hand, his contract with Sharjah FC will expire in May this year, the national football team may need to pay some compensation; on the other hand, Olaroyo's annual salary of at least 5 million U.S. dollars, which is difficult to bear for the Football Association. In addition, Olaroyo because of the Suning salary arrears, some disappointment in Chinese soccer, the conditions of all parties can not meet, he will not easily take over.
Who would want the job if they were not young, weak and impatient?
The head coach of the Chinese men's soccer team is arguably one of the trickiest positions in the world. The team is underpowered. The naturalized players lack competitiveness in Asia as they fade away, but the attention and demands in all areas are not low. When things go wrong, they can lose their jobs. In this case, who would be willing to take over without the temptation of a high salary? Let's not forget that after the World Cup, many national teams are looking for new coaches. Why did they choose the national soccer team? It was revealed that the Football Association did contact some of the preferred candidates during this period, but the price of the other party far exceeded the budget of the Association, naturally, without the following. Of course, the most fundamental reason for the difficulty in producing a national football coach is the old problem - too eager for quick success and instant benefits, lack of long-term planning, and even more lack of patience, always focusing on some matches, or even some matches, and it is impossible to be like the Vietnam Football Association trusts Park Heng Wook, completely allowing him to build a system and style according to his own ideas. In fact, Cao Rui also mentioned in an interview that "sometimes Chinese soccer is too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and the national team level teams need to be given more time, unlike training in the music department every day, where players and coaches meet every day."
As the new national football team regroups after the Chinese New Year and will train in New Zealand on international match days at the end of March, a warm-up program has been confirmed. Theoretically, the new national football coach needs to be confirmed before then, but it seems likely that the job will not be completed before the Spring Festival as previously thought. Li Xiaopeng temporarily as China's coaching team leader or training director to lead the team and training work, "alternative program" is likely to become a reality. But if this is the case, the warm-up effect of the first training of the new national football team will certainly be greatly reduced. Has been jokingly referred to as "the first time to prepare for the World Cup" of the national football team, this time I am afraid to fall behind again.
