However, after scrutinizing the match against Australia, the coach clearly pointed out Hu Huotao's flaws. He was outspoken about Hu's shortcomings in emotional management, especially when the defense was out of position leading to the opponent's goal, for which he could not be blamed. The coach emphasized that it is crucial for Hu Huotao to learn to find a balance between positivity and hustle, and to avoid over-excitement that could affect his performance. It is worth mentioning that the coach communicated with Hu Huotao immediately after his return from the national team and gave him encouragement, showing his high sense of responsibility.
The strengths and weaknesses Hu Huotao talked about in the interview mirrored Xu Zhengyuan's comments, which shows that he not only agrees with Xu's guidance, but is also able to accept professional feedback positively. This will be beneficial to his professional growth. After all, the strength of young players lies in their vigor, while the weakness lies in their inexperience. Growing up under the guidance of a professional and responsible coach like Xu will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to Hu Huotao.
Again, it is emphasized that league development is integral to achieving excellence at the national team level.
This is not only about the future of Chengdu, but also a great opportunity for the national team. In fact, under Ivory's leadership, the young players of the national soccer team have shown impressive performance and improved their results. Hu Hu Huotao will undoubtedly become a key target for the national soccer team to develop in the future. If he can become the main force, the side problems that have long plagued the national football team will also be expected to be effectively solved.
