Gao Hongbo, a name that has wandered in the changing world of Chinese football, has now officially started his new journey. Leaving the distractions of the Football Association, he returned to a familiar and challenging field - youth training. For the average fan like me, it's a shift to keep an eye on.
Looking back on Gao Hongbo's career, he was the focus of our heated discussions. From the head coach of East Asia to the interim coach of the national football team, and then to the senior management of the Football Association, his every step has attracted widespread attention and discussion. But it has to be said that although he reached the peak of his career at the Football Association, the environment there was clearly not for him. This year's Football Association turmoil has highlighted this point. As football fans, we always want to see real footballers shine in the right places.
Now, Gao Hongbo has chosen to return to the field of youth training, which is not only a repositioning of his career, but also a strong support for Chinese football youth training. As the top youth training center in China, Genbao Base has bred many outstanding players. Gao Hongbo's joining this time will undoubtedly inject new vitality into this youth training base, which already has a deep heritage.
It is particularly worth mentioning that this is not the first time that Gao Hongbo has intersected with the Genbao base. As early as 2013, he established a good cooperative relationship with Xu Genbao here. Xu Genbao's trust and appreciation for Gao Hongbo makes people look forward to what kind of sparks their cooperation can produce this time.
Of course, Gao Hongbo's decision is not without controversy. After all, from the top of the Football Association to the sports director of the youth training base, it seems to be a "demotion" in a position. But we should not judge this leap only at face value. For Gao Hongbo, this is more like a "homecoming" and finding a position that really suits him. In the complex environment of the Football Association, he seems to be a little inadequate, and in the pure football field of youth training, he will have more room to display his talent.
What kind of challenges will Gao Hongbo face next?Will he be able to replicate his success in East Asia at the Genbao base?Will we be able to produce more new football stars?That's what our fans are looking forward to. Gao Hongbo's every step touches our hearts, because his success or failure is not only a matter of personal honor and disgrace, but also a part of the Chinese football youth training system.
In short, for Gao Hongbo, this choice may really be a "rebirth". Leaving the Football Association's land of right and wrong, he now has a new stage. I hope that in Genbao Base, he can find his own football philosophy, lead more young players to maturity, and contribute to the future of Chinese football. For us ordinary fans, it is undoubtedly a blessing to be able to witness such a veteran footballer shine in his new position. We look forward to Gao Hongbo's new chapter in Genbao Base, and also look forward to the future of Chinese football being brighter.
