Sun Wen's support has certainly given Chen Wanting a boost in her coaching career! I am convinced that Sun Wen's optimism is not unwarranted, but stems from a deep insight into Chen Wanting's talent and potential. This trust is not only a personal compliment to Chen Wanting, but also a vision of the future glory of the Chinese women's soccer team. However, despite Chen Wanting's dazzling record and ability, are the chances of her becoming a women's soccer coach rational? The answer, I'm afraid, is very little. This is exactly what Li Xuan said about the way of soccer registration. She revealed that the FA still puts foreign coaches at the top of the selection list. Even with Chen Wanting's successes in the domestic arena.
In my opinion, although such a selection strategy has its own rationale, it also carries hidden risks. Foreign coaches may be able to introduce cutting-edge tactical concepts and training modes, but their grasp of Chinese soccer's local culture and players' characteristics is obviously not deep enough. In contrast, local coaches have more advantages in communication, management and cultural integration. It is worth mentioning that Li Xuan also revealed that in the late stage of Shui Qingxia's coaching, the team's internal contradictions intensified, which undoubtedly added a heavy test for the young and promising Chen Wanting to take over the women's soccer coaching whip. A coach not only has to have a high level of tactics, but also needs to have strong leadership and team cohesion.
Whether Chen Wanting can overcome these difficulties is really saddening, and the future of China's women's soccer team is really thought-provoking. According to Jiang Ning, although Chen Wanting missed out on the position of head coach of the women's soccer team, her coaching talent and potential should not be underestimated. We expect Chen Wanting to keep improving. So, do you want Chen Wanting to be the head coach of our women's soccer team?
