After Li Tie announced his resignation, Li Xiaopeng was soon appointed by the Chinese Football Association as the new manager of the national football team. And Li Xiaopeng's departure has cast another shadow on Wuhan's relegation road this season.
Fortunately, Li Xiaopeng's promotion to the national team did not bring his coaching team in Wuhan to the national football team. Since the coaching staff of the team has not changed much, the situation of the Wuhan team is still very stable.
Under the leadership of the team's new coach Li Jinyu, Wuhan has already ushered in two consecutive wins in the second stage of the league. Judging from the current points situation, wuhan team should not have too many problems in completing the relegation task this season.
In the first stage of the league, the performance of the Wuhan team can be described by the word "bad", and after 14 rounds of league battles, the Wuhan team led by Li Xiaopeng only won one game.
In fact, the real strength of the Wuhan team does not match their results in the first stage of the league. After all, Wuhan is a Chinese Super League team that once had 4 international players. The main reason for the 12 consecutive rounds of winlessness in the first stage of the league was that Li Xiaopeng did not coordinate his relationship with some of the "big guy" players in the team.
Under such circumstances, Li Xiaopeng abandoned some of the main players in the team, and Li Xing and Liu Yun, the absolute main players of the Wuhan team last season, were reduced to substitutes. Dong Chunyu, the current national goalkeeper, completely lost his position in the team, and the young Wang Zhifeng was straightened out by Li Xiaopeng and became the number one goalkeeper of the Wuhan team.
After Li Xiaopeng was transferred to the national team, many people thought that Dong Chunyu could finally become the main force of the team again. However, in the past 2 rounds of the league, Wang Zhifeng still firmly occupied the starting goalkeeper position of Wuhan. The team's two consecutive victories also seem to indicate that Dong Chunyu's return to the Chinese Super League is becoming more and more difficult.
The 30-year-old Dong Chunyu debuted in the Xiamen Blue Lion youth training, and after the dissolution of the Blue Lions in 2008, the 17-year-old Dong Chunyu switched to the Guangzhou Evergrande team's predecessor, guangzhou medicine team. Two years later, the Guangzhou Medicine team was sent to the Middle League for suspected playing match-fixing. The young Dong Chunyu was also blessed by misfortune and was transferred to the Guangzhou Medicine team.
However, after entering the first team, Dong Chunyu did not get a chance to play. After Evergrande took over Guangyao, he was also quickly loaned to Shenyang Zhongze in the Chinese League. Due to the long-term inability to play in the team, Dong Chunyu switched to the Chinese League One team Beiti University in the 2017 season.
Dong Chunyu, who has been silent in the Chinese League for 2 years, finally ushered in a career turnaround in 2019, and after transferring to Wuhan, he was reused by the then coach Li Tie and became the No. 1 goalkeeper of the Wuhan team. Just 1 year later, he was recruited to the national team by Li Tie, who became the manager of the national football team.
However, in the eyes of many people, Dong Chunyu can be selected for the national football team, not because of how strong his strength is, but because of Li Tie's light, so Dong Chunyu's identity as an international footballer has also caused great controversy among fans.
Although he has been selected for the national team many times, Dong Chunyu has never had the opportunity to make his debut in the national team. After Li Tie left class and Li Xiaopeng became the manager of the national football team, Dong Chunyu was afraid that he would also say goodbye to the national football team completely.
Dong Chunyu, who was born in 1991, is now only 30 years old, which is the golden age for a goalkeeper. Although he is not qualified for the national team, his strength can still play the main force in the Chinese First Division.
For Dong Chunyu, instead of sitting on the cold bench in wuhan for a long time, it is better to seek development in other teams. Next season, joining a Chinese League A team will be a good choice for Dong Chunyu.
However, in the case of a very unoptimistic Environment in Chinese football, with Dong Chunyu's ability and level, if he does not accept a sharp salary cut, he may find it difficult to find a new job for himself...
