With the arrival of 2022, this season's Chinese Super League has also entered the end. With only one round left in the league, there are currently only three teams left in the relegation group, which are ranked 2-4 at the bottom, and there is still suspense about who will play in the Super League One play-off after the league is over.
The Wuhan team, which won only one victory in the first stage of the league, laid the foundation for relegation in advance because of its two consecutive wins after the start of the second stage of the league.
The team's new coach Li Jinyu led the team to two consecutive wins at the beginning of his official appointment, making some fans feel that his coaching ability is stronger than Li Xiaopeng. But is this really the case? I'm afraid it's not that simple.
As we all know, the strength of the relegation team except for Shanghai Shenhua is relatively weak, and it is reasonable that the Wuhan team has defeated the Cangzhou Lions and Qingdao team in succession.
In the next 5 rounds of the league, Wuhan team did not win 3 draws and 2 losses, which also showed that Li Jinyu's appointment did not bring much change to Wuhan team.
Before joining Wuhan, Li Jinyu had coached the Chinese League one Shenyang Shenbei and the Chinese Super League team Shijiazhuang Yongchang, and his results were very dismal. Therefore, we can basically determine that Li Jinyu's coaching ability is not as strong as some fans think.
After the end of the Chinese Super League, Li Jinyu and a group of wuhan coaching team members will be transferred to the national team to assist Li Xiaopeng in the two World Preliminary Round of 12 at the end of this month. This also means that there will be no team manager in Wuhan next.
Considering that the next 2 round of 12 matches of the national football team are away games, coupled with the current international epidemic situation, It is difficult for Li Jinyu and others to return to Wuhan in the short term and lead the team for spring training.
Based on the above situation, Wuhan Club must now start to consider the issue of the team manager next season. As the current international epidemic situation is still very severe, the possibility of Wuhan team hiring European foreign teachers next season is almost zero.
The former coach Li Tie is undoubtedly a candidate who is very suitable for the head coach of the Wuhan team, but because of the poor record of leading the national football team in the round of 12, Li Tie has become the target of Chinese fans. Before this limelight has passed, I believe that Li Tie will not make a comeback in the short term.
Therefore, in order to be able to achieve the desired results for the team next season, Wuhan Club should still consider some managers who have previously achieved success in the Chinese Super League.
From the current situation, there are 2 South Korean coaches who are very suitable for today's Wuhan team. One is the veteran coach Choi Kang-hee, who left the class halfway through this season, and the other is Kim Jong-fu, who is still coaching Hebei.
As we all know, many Korean coaches are known for their rigorous military governance. The current Wuhan team needs a manager with enough prestige and can manage the team well, and choi Kang-hee and Kim Jong-fu have no problem in this regard.
In the 2019 season, Choi Kang-hee led Shenhua to win the FA Cup, as a head coach who has only coached for half a season, it is not easy to achieve such results, which is enough to prove that Choi Kang-hee has the ability to effectively improve the overall strength of the team in the short term.
Compared with Choi Kang-hee, Kim Jong-fu did not lead hebei to win any championships. However, being able to enter the championship group in the first stage of the league in the first stage of the league when the club has been in arrears for 1 and a half years and most of the main players in the team have left, which also shows that Kim Jong-fu's ability to lead the team is extraordinary.
In addition, although the problem of the club's salary arrears has not been resolved for a long time, Kim Jong-fu still returned to Hebei in the second stage of the Chinese Super League and led the team to participate in the league, which also proved that he is a responsible and outstanding head coach.
In summary, in the case of Li Jinyu's lack of ability, Li Tie cannot return in the short term. Wuhan could have considered hiring one of choi Kang-hee and Kim Jong-fu as the team's manager for next season. As for what changes the Wuhan team will have in the new season, let's wait and see...
