Water Qingxia after winning the championship, the attitude is resolute, regardless of the results or qualifications, she has, but unexpectedly did not participate in the competition organized by the Football Association, this move has provoked widespread speculation, some people speculate that the women's football coach candidate has long been determined, others are just a companion. Experienced two running water Qingxia, this time chose to refuse.
The competition notice published by the Football Association (FA) sets out strict conditions for bidders: bidders need to have served as the head coach of the U19 and above national units of the Chinese Football Association (CFA); or as the head coach of the Women's Super League (WSL); or as the head coach or assistant coach of the CFA's top league (i.e., the Chinese Super League (CSL)).
However, in the actual bidding process, the FA did not strictly enforce this criterion.
A total of six people applied to compete for the job, but Liu Lin, who led the Wuhan women's soccer team to last year's Women's Super League title, was out early because he lacked a working-level coaching certificate. The actual candidates were Chen Wanting, Liu Huana, Zhao Junzhe, Wang Jun and Zhang Haitao. Among them, only Zhao Junzhe, Wang Jun and Zhang Haitao met the requirements for the competition, but the FA eventually allowed Chen Wanting and Liu Huana to participate in the "interview".
Chan Yuen Ting, the most popular candidate, is considered to be the ideal candidate for the new coach of the women's soccer team. However, she actually does not meet the qualification requirements, she previously led the U16 women's national junior football team, the Asian Junior Championships only got the third place, failed to qualify for the World Junior Championships; in addition, although she had led the Orient to win the Hong Kong Premier League title and participate in the Asian Championships, but she did not have coaching experience in the top league of the Chinese Football Association; in addition, as a purely amateur soccer from the academy of the Chan Yuen Ting, does not have the experience of a professional soccer player.
As for Liu Huana, although she had good results at the Games, she led a Shaanxi team that was only in the Women's First League, again not meeting the requirements.
The standards set by the Football Association itself are not strictly enforced, and it seems understandable that the head coach is difficult to produce. Of course, there are also those who believe that the process has been delayed due to the fact that the main leaders were previously supervising the men's soccer team in West Asia and had to isolate themselves after returning home.
Nine times out of ten, the news about the choice of women's soccer head coach is basically reversed, from Zhao Junzhe to Chen Wanting.
The outside world rates Chen Wanting extremely highly as an excellent coach who has set a Guinness World Record. Since she can take men's soccer, is there anything wrong with women's soccer? She also played against Scolari in the AFC Championship, how many male coaches have failed to do that?
But before and after Chen Wanting took the men's soccer team, no one has ever carefully explored her tactical philosophy, playing style, and leading style are unknown. Previously, she took the U16 women's national youth soccer team, but the description of her soccer philosophy is also minimal.
Chan Yuen Ting's Hong Kong Premier League title win came in the 2015/16 season, when she took over on December 8, 2015 and won the title on April 22 the following year... can you tell the level of a coach in 5 months? And, Chan Yuen Ting was only 28 years old when she won the Hong Kong Premier League title. Although Chan Yuen-ting was selected for the Hong Kong, China women's soccer team, in fact, she only started playing soccer systematically from her high school days, and later worked as a big data analyst, in addition, she is also a master's degree in Sports Medicine and Physical and Mental Health Science Research at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Undeniably, Chen Wanting's "work" career is very legendary, if the women's soccer team as the head coach, will add to her legendary career.
But now look, women's soccer selection has changed flavor, into a "marketing". An insider told reporters, "Whether Chen Wanting can finally serve as China's women's football head coach, she is a winner. Elected, she won, because she overcame the internal said, the outside world that she saw the courage; defeated, and then look at the other four candidates involved in the competition, Liu Huana certainly no chance, Zhang Haitao will also be out, then only Wang Jun and Zhao Junzhe, although Zhao Junzhe from the overall quality of the consideration, more suitable for this handsome, but he was elected, Chen Wanting will also get a wave of traffic and attention. This is no longer a handsome selection, this is marketing. If there is no behind-the-scenes push, how come no one is talking about Wang Jun. Even if we don't agree with Zhao Junzhe, Wang Jun is still better than Chen Wanting from all aspects, right? So this is no longer just a selection of a manager."
On reflection, it is true that no matter who takes over women's soccer, one bad game might trigger another shellacking, some cliché, perhaps, will come out again.
The women's soccer head coach is hard to come by, but the women's game, it's getting closer.
The Women's Asian Cup will be played in India from Jan. 20-Feb. 6, 2022. In the group draw conducted on Oct. 28, China's women's soccer team, which was ranked in the second slot, avoided the powerful Australian and Japanese teams and was placed in Group A, which includes hosts India, Iran and Taiwan, China.
China's women's soccer team does not have a certain strength to win the championship, but with this top signing should be able to determine the qualification for the knockout rounds, to obtain a place in the World Cup regular season is not a big problem, after all, the next Women's World Cup by 24 teams expanded to 32 teams, the Asian region, in addition to host Australia, there are still five participation places.
However, the Chinese women's soccer team wants to break the embarrassment of 16 years without a title, it is very difficult. But a women's soccer coach, consider must be more than just the Asian Cup, the Asian Games and the Olympic Games, is also very important, so the new coach, need to choose people, and the second phase of the Women's Super League, will soon be played.
The Women's Super League is divided into three phases this year, and unlike in the past, a four-month interval was set between the first and second phases of the league's tournament due to the impact of the Tokyo Olympics and the Shaanxi National Games. The second stage features six rounds of 30 matches and lasts until November 4th. From November 13, the league enters the third stage, and the champion is decided on November 30th.
The third stage is divided into the championship group and relegation group, the top five teams enter the championship group, the next five teams enter the relegation group, single round-robin play four rounds of matches, and then according to the points ranking, the first place and the second place to compete for the champion and runner-up.
The second stage of the game is coming to an end, but the women's soccer coach is not yet out, although you can watch the video, but certainly not as intuitive as watching it live. Moreover, the moments left for the women's soccer team to form, select, and integrate, including scouting the opponents and gathering information, are seriously lacking.
As we all know, the FA's guarantee for men's soccer is all-encompassing, although the difficulty of the women's Asian Cup competition is not as big as the men's 12-team tournament, but after all, it is about the qualification for the World Cup proper, and for the future development of women's soccer, there is also a great influence.
Therefore, in any case, since the organization has organized a competition, there are interview results, is a mule is a horse, always pull out to slip, professional soccer, in the final analysis, or rely on results to speak, otherwise, all is empty talk.
