The "Ersha Island God of Cars" returns, and the driving frenzy is back in style!

As the Chinese Super League draws nearer, teams are preparing for the game in a tight schedule. No, yesterday, the Guangzhou team's head coach Cannavaro even in the Qingming Festival, leisure and two friends riding to Huizhou Longmen County Nankunshan, some leisurely. Staggeringly, the 48-year-old veteran completed a long-distance ride of 217 kilometers in seven hours! ! [Carnavaro riding photos](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/2021-04/202104080039759900002008.jpg) As we all know, it has been nearly ten years since Cannavaro retired from the game, this 7 hours 217 kilometers feat, the average speed is as high as 30.4km per hour, this kind of physical fitness and speed, it is unbelievable. If he returns to the field as a center back, even playing a full game may not be a problem. In fact, Kashai has shared his cycling experience on social media many times, as early as Guangzhou Ersha Island, he rode 50 kilometers, so it can be seen that in addition to soccer, cycling is another big hobby of his. !

During his tenure, he has come close to being dismissed several times, and even lost the right to attract reinforcements, and there are even rumors that he may return to Italy to coach. As we all know, the Chinese Super League's dominant Guangzhou team, as Asia's top giants, not only has international stars in terms of players, but also has a lot of strength in terms of coaching, from the team's history, it has had Lee Jang-soo, the International Cup-winning head coach "Silver Fox" Lippi, and the "General" Scolari and other international-level coaches. In terms of team history, the Guangzhou team has had international coaches such as Lee Jang-soo, International Cup winning coach "Silver Fox" Lippi and "Great General" Scolari. The Guangzhou team's success could not have been achieved without the tutelage of these coaches.

The Italian is unique in playing soccer, but inexperienced in coaching. He is also known as "Mr. International Footballer".

Despite the ups and downs of that season, the young coach was idolized by his players and gained a lot of credibility in the locker room. In his role as a friend and coach of the players, the inexperienced Cannavaro led the team to the last eight of the AFC Champions League and to the top of the Chinese Super League. However, Guangzhou Evergrande at its peak was not satisfied with that record, and half a season later, Brazilian coach Scolari took his place. But the "first time in the palace" of Cannavaro has left a deep impression on Guangzhou fans. !

His young coaching experience and technical and tactical abilities were exposed in front of the fans. At that time, Guangzhou Evergrande had already entered a new generation, and the young players matched with the young coach made Guangzhou Evergrande, the dominant team, encountered an unprecedented crisis in the team's history. According to the current trend, Guangzhou team may not introduce any players in the new season, focusing on training young players, winning the championship may no longer be the most important goal of Guangzhou team. !

Just yesterday, Guangzhou City's third new foreign aid in place - Colombian foreign aid Caldona, plus the Swedish foreign aid Wen Yazong who is in isolation, the team's five foreign aid will soon be gathered. ! [Guangzhou City photo](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/2021-04/202104080039927087502008.jpg) In the past two months, Guangzhou City has been attracting reinforcements at a steady pace, almost maintaining a week-to-two-week rhythm of official announcements. At the end of last season, the team only had one foreigner, Dembele, stay in the team. Former player of Polish giants Legia Warsaw, 29-year-old Guilherme was the first to announce his joining, solidifying the team's strength in front of goal. Subsequently, 28-year-old center forward Tiago signed a two-year contract with the team, Tiago previously played in the Hong Kong Premier League team Fuli r&f, and then loaned to the Central League team Beijing Renhe, once ranked second in the first stage of the Central League scorer list. ! [Guangzhou City Photos](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/2021-04/202104080039955212502008.jpg) The Guangzhou team is very stable, completely follow the policy of "only out not in", quietly. The club is also planning to focus more on young players in the future, so according to this, Kasai also said: "We are no longer the favorite to win the Super League, but it is still a very attractive project." The first phase of the new season, the card may face the situation of fewer rotations, the first two central foreign aid Paulinho and Talisker's return time is not determined, the midfield strength is greatly reduced, the attack and defense are also very easy to disconnect. ! [Guangzhou team photo](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/2021-04/202104080039986462502008.jpg) In addition, Zhang Linpeng, the center of the defense, underwent surgery after he was injured in the AFC Champions League, but the result was not ideal. After returning to China, he underwent another surgery and is still recovering, thus missing the training session of the national football team. According to the latest news, Zhang Linpeng is still not fully recovered, he is very likely to miss the World Qualifier of the national football team because of this, and the first phase of the Chinese Super League is also likely to miss the game. ! [Zhang Linpeng photo](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/2021-04/2021040800391022400002008.jpg) This is an even bigger blow to Guangzhou's already somewhat grim backline, and Kasai will even have to go back to looking for other players to make guest appearances. What worries fans even more is that Paulinho and Zhang Linpeng are the team's on-field captains and vice-captains in the event that Zheng Zhi is unavailable for an extended period of time, so once both are unavailable, the impact on the team is bound to be significant. ! [Zheng Zhi photo](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/2021-04/2021040800391048962502008.jpg) This is especially true because this year's Chinese Super League follows a points system, which reduces the chance of a title race. Therefore, the long-term lack of center players still has a great impact on the team. Anyway, it is still expected that Guangzhou team can overcome the difficulties and deliver a satisfactory answer in the 2021 season.
