Recently, the change of the head coach of the Shanghai Port team has become a hot topic in football circles. Former head coach Xavier said goodbye because he did not meet the conditions of his contract extension, and the replacement has become the focus of attention. This change of coach is not only a big test of the team's tactics and management, but also a challenge to the emotions of fans.
First of all, we have to mention Javier's coaching career at Harbour. He boldly used young players during his time in the Henan team, which brought a lot of fresh blood to Chinese football. However, when he arrived at the Harbour team, he changed his strategy in favor of experienced veterans. This shift has caused quite a bit of controversy. On the field, his emotionality has also frequently become the focus of attention, such as clashing with foreign aids, kneeling to the referee and other behaviors, all of which surprised fans.
Havel's approach is very different from his previous image. He seems to have forgotten that on the football field, every move of the coach affects the mental outlook of the team. Especially at critical moments, the calmness of the coach is directly related to the team's combat effectiveness.
However, in terms of results, the Harbour team has achieved good results under his leadership. They won the Chinese Super League this year but exited early in the AFC Champions League play-offs and FA Cup. These results do not seem to be fully in line with the expectations of the Harbour team. According to his contract with the Harbour team, the "+1" condition in the "1+1" has not been fully met, which may be an important reason why he failed to renew the contract.
Now, the Harbour team has turned their attention to a coach with a wealth of championship experience. Former Yokohama Mariners coach Muscat has emerged as the new favourite. Muscat's success in the J-League has undoubtedly earned him high praise. But in the world of football, there is no eternal strong and there is no eternal weakling. It remains to be seen whether Muscat will be able to continue his glory on the brand new stage of the Chinese Super League.
This change of coach of the Harbour team is not only a test for the new coach, but also a major test for the overall strength of the team. How the new coach will adjust his tactics, how he will bring out the best in his players, and how he will build a deep relationship of trust with his players will have a direct impact on the future of the team.
For us ordinary fans, every change of coach is the beginning of anticipation and uncertainty. We hope that the new coach will bring new energy and tactical changes to the team, and we also hope that the team can create more exciting results in the new season. After all, for those of us who love football, every minute on the pitch is full of excitement and anticipation.
Finally, as a fan, I would like to say to the Harbour team: we will continue to support you in good times and bad. Hopefully, in the new season, the Harbour team can bring us more surprises and joys. A new journey has begun, let's look forward to a new chapter for the Harbour team!
