With the curtain falling on the relegation of the Central League in Guangzhou, Coach Salvador dissected the reality of his team's situation, development plans, and his personal coaching career in the Central League in an in-depth conversation with local media. The South American soccer mentor confidently predicted that Guangzhou is expected to make a leap forward in three years.
When it comes to the team's freshmen, Salvador is not stingy with his praise. In particular, he was full of praise for 19-year-old Xu Bin, saying that the young player is one of the best in the team. He commented, "Xu Bin is one of the most colorful players in the team, he has a comprehensive skill set and is a hexagonal warrior. He is efficient on the field and I am impressed with his fighting spirit and sacrifice." However, Salvador also pointed out that the mentality of some players in the team needs to be adjusted, they are too conceited and always think that they are the core of the team and are unwilling to accept a substitute position. He emphasized, "If they cannot change this mentality, the team's development will be limited."
Recalling his coaching experience in the First Division, Salvador mentioned a phenomenon that puzzled him: whenever Guangzhou took the lead, the opponents would adopt various delaying tactics as if they were unwilling to continue the game. Salvador was puzzled by this phenomenon, which was a common occurrence in the First Division. He believes that the game should be a fair competition, but some teams choose negative strategies when they are behind, which is not conducive to the healthy development of the league.
Apparently, the "monster" that Salvador is referring to has existed in Chinese soccer for a long time, and similar problems exist in the Chinese Super League, especially in the First Division, where there are fewer foreign players. This phenomenon not only affects the viewing experience, but also raises questions about the fairness of the league for coaches such as Salvador.
Despite the many challenges, Salvador remains confident about the future of the Guangzhou team. He believes that as long as the players adjust their mentality and train hard, the team is expected to surpass its goal in three years. "I firmly believe in our strength and believe that the club will give us full support. As long as we work together, Guangzhou will be able to return to the Chinese Super League stage." Salvador was firm in his tone.
Overall, Salvador saw both the potential of Guangzhou's young players for relegation and felt the plague of delaying tactics in the game. Facing the future challenges, he is full of confidence and firmly believes that with the joint efforts of all staff, Guangzhou will rise rapidly. At the same time, he also hopes that the relevant departments will pay attention to the delaying problem in the Central League and strengthen the management to make the league fairer and more exciting.
