Whether Zheng Zhi can activate all the potential and mobilize the advantage of talent is crucial to Evergrande's success in avoiding relegation. But what's shocking is that despite signing many veterans, Zheng Zhi doesn't see them as the core. He always seems to want to take one game as a boundary and abandon them if not necessary. These veterans seem to have become the chicken ribs of Evergrande's choices. Zheng Zhi himself, the whole season rarely play, almost become the Evergrande "dumping hand boss". In this way, if he wants to successfully lead Evergrande to relegation, how can he so neglect these top players in the Chinese Super League? Especially like Hao Ming and Rong Hao such as veterans, they are afraid in the critical moment will come forward. From this perspective, Zheng Zhi's will to relegate Evergrande doesn't seem to be strong.
Even if Zheng Zhi has no intention of focusing on the development of these veterans, he should have nurtured new stars under his own banner. However, during the season, Zheng Zhi did not seem to form a stable starting lineup, and the young stars were replaced like a lantern. As the season came to a close, these new stars didn't really stand out under Zheng Zhi's tutelage and became the backbone of the team. In the end, they remained unimpressive half-baked products. In other words, Zheng Zhi did not produce any new stars for Evergrande this season. His arbitrary strategy has undoubtedly slowed down the development prospects of these new stars.
If Evergrande fails to succeed in relegation this season, it is undoubtedly a huge failure; and as the team coach, Zheng Zhi not only failed to complete the task of relegation, but also failed to cultivate new stars, its failure is not to be ignored. Zheng Zhi, who was once an outstanding player, is mediocre on the road of coaching. It is no exaggeration to say that Zheng Zhi almost became the biggest "culprit" of Evergrande's relegation this season.
