A recent article in the Football Newspaper made me want to talk about the national football team. The article discusses the possibility of Choi Kang-hee becoming the coach of the national football team. This topic has caused quite a stir in the fan circle.
First of all, we have to talk about the performance of the national football team in the Asian Cup in Qatar. It's really disappointing, not winning a game, not scoring a goal, and finally going out in disgrace. As a fan, watching such a performance, it is called a mixed feeling in my heart. The performance of the national football team naturally made the coach at the time, Jankovic, the target of public criticism. Jankovic's dismissal seems to be a matter of time, but it is worth noting that the Football Association does not have to pay liquidated damages. I heard that there was a performance assessment in the contract signed with Jankovic, and it seems that this is also a kind of caution by the Football Association.
But what is really surprising is that the Football Association actually set the eyes of the new coach on Choi Kang-hee. Cui Kangxi's performance after taking over Luneng is really good, whether it is the Chinese Super League or the FA Cup, he has shown the team's hope of competing for the championship. Choi Kang-hee also has experience coaching the South Korean team, so he definitely knows Asian football. From this point of view, it seems reasonable for the Football Association to want to ask him to coach.
But the question is, is Cui Kangxi willing to coach the national football team? We all know that the position of the national football team is not a good job. Even a famous coach like Lippi came with a high salary, but he failed to bring the national football team on the right track. If Choi Kang-hee can really refuse the national football team, then I guess he will definitely give priority to staying in the Taishan team. After all, coaching at a club is less stressful and less risky.
But on the other hand, the Taishan team will certainly not easily refuse the request of the Football Association. If the Football Association really decides to let Cui Kangxi coach the national football team, the top management of the Taishan team may release him unconditionally. The interests and face issues involved in this are difficult for us ordinary fans to fully understand.
Finally, as an ordinary fan, I only hope that whoever coaches the national football team can lead our national team out of the predicament and achieve better results. No matter what, we will continue to support the national football team and hope that they can show a better side in the future. After all, for those of us who love football, every progress of the national football team is our common expectation.
