In the championship group match that ended this afternoon, Guangzhou beat Changchun Yatai 2-0, killing the opponent in two legs and locking in the top three of the league. In the final round, Guangzhou will play shanghai harbor, and this match will determine who is the runner-up of the season.
Seeing this situation, I unnaturally remembered Cannavaro. All along, Ka Shuai has been a bit unpopular in the Chinese Super League, and many people call him "Cai Ka" and question his coaching ability. Admittedly, Cannavaro's abilities cannot be matched by Lippi's. Overall, decent. This, as can be seen from the time he returned to Italy and the fact that no major league team invited him to coach.
However, through the second stage of the game, we still see the property that Cannavaro left to Guangzhou and even the whole of Chinese football. The first, of course, is a newcomer. The new people here are not seedling-boosting. Who scored in the match against Yatai? 18-year-old Ling Jie and 20-year-old Tan Kaiyuan. The two U21 youngsters also scored goals in Guangzhou's last round against Hebei.
The second brought out a good apprentice: Zheng Zhi. After Cannavaro left, Zheng Zhi picked up the coaching whip of the Guangzhou team. Everyone originally thought: without foreign aid, the team does not know where to go in the future, there is no money, and the Guangzhou team must be in a hurry. The result? Guangzhou's current ranking is second in the Chinese Super League, two points ahead of Shanghai Harbour. Zheng Zhi led the team's record of 7 games: 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and won all three of the last three games.
As a novice coach, Zheng Zhi can be said to have successfully transformed. According to reports, Zheng Zhi will join the coaching staff of Li Xiaopeng's national team, which can also be seen from this point, and it can be seen that Chinese football recognizes its coaching ability. Looking back at Cannavaro, is it worthy of our respect? If there is no crisis in guangzhou, Cannavaro is likely to lead Guangzhou to another championship.
Let's talk about this Guangzhou team, in such a difficult situation, can still achieve such results. It is obviously unreasonable to just say that it is fighting spirit. This, in fact, is the embodiment of hard power, and it also proves the success of their past hoarding international football strategy. I hope that such an excellent team can see the rainbow after the storm.
