In the recently held Olympic women's soccer tournament, our women's soccer team suffered unprecedented difficulties, three consecutive losses in the group stage, conceding as many as 17 goals, the worst record in history. After returning home, the whereabouts of head coach Jia Xiuquan became the focus of public attention. Numerous fans regarded him as the culprit and called for his resignation. However, Jia Xiuquan put the blame on the Football Association, saying that his stay or departure will be decided by the relevant organizations and he will not resign easily.
This attitude of Jia Xiuquan provoked strong dissatisfaction among fans, and the Internet was filled with insults and curses against him. However, just as the outside world generally believe that Jia Xiuquan will stay immobile under the expectations, suddenly came heavy news. According to Yanbian Daily, the Football Association hopes that Jia Xiuquan can lead the women's soccer team to compete in the National Games and strive for the gold medal. In the face of the Association's proposal, Jia Xiuquan chose to refuse, he seems to have changed his mind, unwilling to trip this muddy water, but want to early termination of the contract with the Association, to return to the club coaching.
Yanbian Daily also revealed Jia Xiuquan's next home, suggesting that he is expected to coach Chinese Super League side Dalian Ren. It is reported that Dalian People are not satisfied with the results of the current manager Jose and want to form a Chinese coaching team, with Jia Xiuquan expected to be in charge. Dalian people this season performance is bad, head coach Rafael Benitez and stars Carrasco, Hamsik, etc. have left the team, the strength of the team is greatly reduced. After nine rounds of the Chinese Super League (CSL) Guso, Dalian Ren are in the bottom half of the table with four points, with a record of one win, one draw and seven losses.
Dalian People is 10 points away from the fifth place of Guan An in the Gusu district, unless there is a miracle, or the end of the season will be relegated. The actual controller of Dalian People, Wang Jianlin, as a veteran businessman in the soccer world, naturally does not want to see his hard-earned team in trouble. Therefore, it is only natural for Dalian People to reform their coaching staff. With Jia Xiuquan having served as a manager of Dalian Ren, it's not impossible for the two sides to work together again, and the Yanbian Daily's report seems to make sense.
However, Jia Yanfeng, a reporter from Soccer Daily, thinks this is pure nonsense. First of all, Dalian People's performance is certainly poor, but there are more objective factors, the head coach Jose still brought some changes to the team, and the young players are growing rapidly. Secondly, Dalian Ren does not intend to set up a Chinese coaching team. Having two coaching teams for the same team may be a unique phenomenon in the Chinese Super League. Shandong Luneng had a similar situation in the past, and it was hard to agree on whether the players should listen to local or foreign coaches, so it's not surprising that the team's performance could improve.
It seems unlikely that Jia Xiuquan will give up coaching the women's soccer team and switch to coaching the Dalian people. The reason why he did not take the initiative to resign is because he knows that the team's poor performance, the problem is not in himself. As early as the women's soccer team suffered elimination, there are media reports that the Football Association and the local sports bureau to interfere in the selection of women's soccer team, Jia Xiuquan, although nominally a coach, in fact, to see the face of others. Therefore, his first choice is to continue coaching the women's soccer team without too much external interference. As for how the future will develop, mainly depends on the decision of the Football Association, the outside world still need to wait patiently.
