The three major problems of the 2021 Super League to be solved: the big names have gone down the slope and the growth of local players? _foreign aid

Although Shanghai SIPG coach Lecco used to be teammates with Bilic in the player era, Lecco’s coaching career is unknown and his resume is very different from Bilic. After Guangzhou R&F let go of Van Bronckhorst, the club originally wanted to hire an old Chinese football acquaintance, the Croatian Tomic (from this perspective, Guangzhou R&F did not want to hire a big-name head coach). After the reason is missed, R&F’s new coach will be Van Bronckhorst’s assistant Van Gastel last season. The former coach of Dalian, Benitez, is the biggest foreign teacher in the Super League in recent years. After his resignation, the Dalian native has yet to confirm his successor.

For these clubs that change coaches, they all pay attention to one thing in common when hiring a new head coach-cost-effectiveness. For example, in addition to Tomic in the original coach selection plan of Guangzhou R&F, there are also former Shandong Luneng coach Tubkovic and former Jiangsu Suning coach Cui Longzhu. But in the end, considering the familiarity of the team and the cost performance, I chose Van Gastel, who has never had the experience of independently coaching a team before, will be his first time as the head coach of a professional team.

In the past 10 years, the Chinese Super League’s major foreign teachers have been hired by Lippi from Guangzhou Evergrande. Since then, Eriksson, Magat, Pellegrini, Scolari, Zaccheroni, Capello, Flo Reis, Stojkovic, Boas, Van Bronckhorst, Benitez and other European and American coaches, as well as Cui Longzhu, Cui Kangxi and other Asian coaches have come to vote, together supporting the prosperous era of the Super League. These coaches not only brought the big-name players under them, but also brought the most advanced football technology and tactics concepts, so that the football tactics of the Chinese Super League are in full bloom, so that Chinese fans can appreciate the football tactics of top coaches at home. Now that the big-name foreign teachers have left, the technical and tactical level of the Super League is facing the possibility of decline.

Will local players and local coaches usher in opportunities for growth?

The withdrawal of big-name foreign players and teachers has caused public opinion to focus on local players and local coaches.

In the past 10 years, the arrival of big-name foreign players has not only improved the level of competition and attention in the Super League, but also objectively squeezed the living space of local players. In particular, the players in the core positions of the team, such as the central axis, are almost entirely held by foreign players. . As a result, there have been some phenomena that have been criticized by the outside world: each team is basically responsible for offensive scoring by foreign players, and local players are responsible for defense; on the offensive end, even if there are local players involved, they are mostly wide players. In the core area, basically you can only watch foreign players performing. In the AFC arena, almost relying on foreign aid to compete with the Japanese and Korean teams.

With the gradual withdrawal of big-name foreign players, will local players really shine as outsiders expect? I am afraid it may not. First of all, the overall strength of local players is not enough for any team to shoulder the responsibility of the core of the team. Secondly, even if the big-name foreign aid is withdrawn, the teams will still introduce foreign aid, and these new foreign aid will still occupy the core position of each team. At the same time, under the New Deal, all teams pay more attention to the training of young players, and are more willing to give young players opportunities in some positions. Mesozoic and old players may have fewer opportunities to play.

It’s the local handsome indeed ushered in a good opportunity to perform. Up to now, the Super League has confirmed the use of native coaches in the new season, Shandong Luneng, Tianjin Teda, Wuhan Zall, Qingdao Huanghai, Changchun Yatai and other five teams, setting a new high in recent years. The Dalian native and Hebei Huaxia Xingfu, who have not determined the coach, may also use the local coach. In addition to the coach, there are generally local coaches in the coaching staff of each team, all of which provide room for the growth of the local coach.Return to Sohu to see more
