The Spring Festival has passed, and the Football Association should also go to work.
It is now only a month away from the start of the Asian round of 36 of the World Preliminary Championships in late March. Our opponents in the same group, Thailand and Singapore, have both changed their coaches. Masataka Ishii, who took charge of Thailand in December last year, has already led the team to the Asian Cup. Singapore officially announced on February 1 that Ogura was in office. Interestingly, both Thailand and Singapore have chosen Japanese coaches, which shows the status of Japanese football in Asia. There is another opponent in the same group, South Korea, who has officially announced Klinsmann's resignation, and it is said that he paid a huge amount of liquidated damages, Klinsmann is really Camacho, who came to cheat money, and he can't control the locker room, South Korea is also bloody. At present, according to the report of **, the new coach of the South Korean team is likely to be South Korea's local coach Choi Kang-hee. So at present, only the Chinese coach is undecided, given that there is only a month before the start of the game, it is urgent for the national football team to finalize the new coach as soon as possible, and it is urgent. I don't know if Song Kai, chairman of the Football Association, is in a hurry. Below, let's take a look at the candidates for the new coach of the national football team.
1.The first choice for local coaches is Gao Hongbo.
Local coach Li Xiaopeng has proven that the level is not good, and Li Weifeng's qualifications and strength recommended by ** people are not enough. At present, local coaches still prefer Gao Hongbo.
Gao Hongbo has twice coached the Chinese men's football team when Chinese football was at a low point, although Gao Hongbo's playing career is not dazzling, his love for Chinese football is unparalleled. In May 2009, Gao Hongbo became the head coach for the first time through an open competition, and in 2010, he competed in the East Asian semi-finals. Forced the host Japanese team to draw and defeated the South Korean team 3:0 to win the cup championship. During Gao Hongbo's first coaching of the national football team, he achieved an amazing record of 23 wins, 11 draws and 4 losses. However, on the eve of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the Asian qualifiers were dismissed by the Football Association and replaced by Camacho, which proved to be a ridiculous joke.
In 2016, Gao Hongbo successfully competed for the national football coach again. and led the team to the top 12 of the fourth round of the World Cup Asian qualifiers. However, this time the national football team only scored one point in the first four games, and Gao Hongbo voluntarily resigned after losing to Uzbekistan. Then Lippi took the helm, and finally the national football team fell short in the World Cup.
Gao Hongbo is expected to coach the national football team for the third time, with Gao Hongbo's love for Chinese football, as long as Chinese football needs him, even if he is burned with lust and a sea of swords, I believe that Gao will be duty-bound. Moreover, Gao Hongbo has no requirements for annual salary.
2.Japanese and Korean coaches are also a good choice, Choi Kang-hee and Seo Jung-won.
The national football team and Japan and South Korea both belong to East Asia, and they are relatively close in terms of physical conditions, and Japanese and Korean coaches are also a good choice. And due to various historical reasons between us and Japan, Japanese players will not come to play in the Chinese Super League, and Japanese coaches are unlikely to come to China to coach. So we can only choose the Korean coach, and we have to face South Korea in the World Preliminary Tournament, hire a Korean coach, if we can crack South Korea and get a point, it will be a big victory. But Cui Kangxi has made it clear that he will not come to coach the national football team, he doesn't want to be stained with this muddy water, and the Football Association can't afford Cui Kangxi's annual salary, you must know that his annual salary in Shandong will reach 3 million. Therefore, we can't put a hot face on a cold ass anymore. So let's talk about Xu Zhengyuan.
Xu Zhengyuan, who has been coaching Chengdu Rongcheng since 2021, will lead the team to the 5th place in the Chinese Super League in 2022 and the 4th place in the Chinese Super League in 2023, and the results are still good. Xu Zhengyuan's advantage is that he also coaches in China, and he still knows domestic players very well, and Xu Zhengyuan has shown great talent in the use of Exxon and the training of young player Mutalifu. Therefore, if Xu Zhengyuan can coach, the veteran Aikesen will most likely be able to return and contribute the last strength to the dream of the World Cup of the national football team, and Mutalifu may also be selected for the national football team. I also believe that Seo Jung-won can also discover more talented young players.
3.Former Shanghai SIPG coach Javier Pereira.
Spanish coach Javier was born in 1966 and is now 57 years old. As a player, he played for Wolves in the Premier League for a long time. After retiring from the sport, he served as the head coach of Melbourne Victory, St. Truiden and Shanghai Port in Belgium. In 2023, he led Shanghai SIPG to win the second Chinese Super League championship in team history, and it was also the first important trophy in his coaching career.
Xavier has three major advantages in coaching the national football team. First, Xavier is good at defensive counter-attacking tactics, which are commonly adopted by mid-stream and lower teams. During his tenure at SIPG, Xavier was criticized for his conservative tactics. But for the current national football team, such tactics still coincide with the national football team. Because the current level of the national football team can only rank in the third rate in Asia. The second advantage is that Xavier knows the national football team very well, has many years of coaching experience in the Chinese Super League, knows the players very well, and there are many international players in the SIPG team at present. Xavier also coached Chongqing Sway, Henan Jianye. The third advantage is that Javier is currently unemployed and idle at home, so he does not have to pay a penalty to sign Javier. And Javier's annual salary in SIPG is 2 million, and the Football Association can still suppress the price for him who is currently unemployed.
4.Former Oman men's football coach Ivankovic.
Recently, Ivankovic has made it clear that he has a lot of ideas about coaching the Chinese men's football team, and if he can coach, he is confident that he will lead the national football team to the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. And Ivankovic's ** annual salary is about 1.5 million US dollars, although this ** for Jankovic's annual salary of 1.2 million has increased to a certain extent, it is still acceptable for the national football team.
Ivankovic is also very familiar with Asian football and Chinese football, he has coached the Iranian men's football team, participated in the 2006 World Cup, and also led Shandong Luneng to win the 2010 Chinese Super League championship, and still has a certain reputation and strength. Ivankovic led Oman to the Asian Cup in this Asian Cup, with 2 draws and 1 loss, and went out of the group, just like the national football team, and was subsequently dismissed by the Oman Football Association. But looking at his matches, the first was a stoppage time by Saudi Arabia, and the last two were drawn by Thailand and Kyrgyzstan in the dominant situation, a bit unlucky, but still have the strength. During the Qatar World Preliminary Tournament, he also led the team to defeat Japan.
5.Queiroz and Scolari, too old and too high an annual salary.
Queiroz and Scolari are both world-class coaches, and their quality is unquestionable. But they are all over 70 years old, and their annual salaries will be at least more than 5 million, such a high **, I think the Football Association is more than enough.
6.Zhejiang coach Jodi.
In the 2022 season, the Zhejiang team won the third place in the Chinese Super League and competed in the AFC Champions League for the first time, with a remarkable performance. Jody is good at developing targeted tactics, and the game is still very contentious. But Jodi's annual salary in Zhejiang is 3.5 million, which is the biggest obstacle. With the current environment of Chinese football, it is no longer realistic to emulate Evergrande's practice of paying the annual salary of national football coaches.
The Football Association has finished the Spring Festival, and now it is time to start work, it is necessary to continue to work hard in Chinese football, and the most important thing now is to finalize the new coach as soon as possible, and play Thailand and Singapore must win. Don't let it be hilarious if it's still Jankovic in charge.
