Yu Dabao, a former star who has moved from the pitch to the coaching ranks, has clearly tipped the scales of fortune dramatically, yet he seems unconcerned by the shift. After a decade of hard work, despite his roots in Qingdao, Shandong, he has come to regard Beijing Guoan as his second home and an integral part of his life. Out of his deep affection for the team, he is willing to make sacrifices just to help Beijing Guoan move towards a brighter future.
Yu Dabao's choice is not to leave the team, nor to join other Chinese Super League or Chinese League One teams, but to bravely embark on the road of coaching. Such a decision may be a wise choice for this figure who is regarded as a blessing for the national soccer team. We are sure that this step will receive the expectation and blessing of the players, including Zhang Yuning. We are eagerly waiting for Yu Dabao to create extraordinary performance in his new position, and hope that he will always keep his fervor for soccer.
