This season's Chinese Super League is coming to an end, and the final round of competition will be staged as scheduled this day and tomorrow.
Yesterday, the pre-match press conference between Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic and Wuhan team was launched as scheduled. When head coach Zhang Wailong was talking about the team's preparations, he suddenly choked up tears, which made the atmosphere of the scene freeze for a while, and frankly said: This year, the team is not easy, we have encountered too many unimaginable difficulties, how this team will develop in the future, there is no clear statement.
At the same time, I don't know if you remember the last round of the league, Hebei team lost 0:1 to Shenzhen team. At the post-match press conference, Hebei coach Jin Zhongfu said frankly in an interview with reporters: There is nothing to say, but I think our players are very pitiful.
What the hell is going on? It made the head coach so helpless. The most important task of the head coach is to raise the team's performance and put the whole team in a virtuous circle. However, the words of Zhang Wailong and Kim Jong-fu made our hearts seem particularly cold. It's not the performance of the team, but the environment of the whole league.
The professional attitude of the two Korean managers is absolutely unquestionable. Zhang Wailong's coaching experience in the Chinese Super League is very rich, no matter which team he is in, his defensive counterattack and 7-second tactical concept are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, resounding in the Chinese Super League, and he knows how to be grateful. There is no other foreign teacher who has the temper of those big names, for the club and the team, do their best to be responsible, so many years, Zhang Wailong's popularity is exceptionally good.
Kim Jong-fu does not have Zhang Wailong's rich Experience in the Chinese Super League, but after coming to the Hebei team, his personality charm has been particularly praised, and more commendably, his coaching ability. At the beginning of the season, Hebei team once came to the brink of disbandment, but with the efforts of all parties, the team survived. However, in order to continue to survive, the team had to sell several cores to continue to live, including selling several core foreign aides during the interval.
Even if the world's famous coach comes, I believe that seeing the current situation of the Hebei team is also quite a headache. But Kim Jong-fu still took over the job and led everyone to face the difficulties together. Unexpectedly, along the way, Kim Jong-fu used his excellent coaching ability to create a supporting tactical system for the team, passing the barrier and breaking into the championship group.
From the outside world judging to be a big favorite for relegation, to finally breaking into the championship group, Kim Jong-fu did make the Hebei team create a miracle.
We don't see the complex atmosphere of the Chinese football environment in Zhang Wailong and Kim Jong-fu, they just want to bring their own team well and live up to the expectations of fans and clubs. On the contrary, we see more anxiety and uneasiness in domestic coaches and big-name coaches in Europe and the United States.
Soon, the final round of the match between Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic and Wuhan team will begin, and the significance of this game is very important for Chongqing, after all, the team ranks third from the bottom and has only a one-point advantage from the second-to-last Dalian. If this game cannot be won, once the Dalian people win, then the team will be in trouble in the relegation play-offs, and the pressure on the team will be even greater. However, the initiative is still in their own hands, the Wuhan team has no desire, as long as it can win, then it will be relegated successfully.
However, fans are still worried about the other extreme, even if the relegation is successful, will the team disband? Just like Tianjin Tianhai in 2019, Tianhai desperately relegated and finally succeeded, but the team was eventually disbanded. Will Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic repeat this tragedy? We don't know, but based on the actual situation of the team at the moment, the trajectory is really similar.
Although the club's share reform has been completed and all parties have signed, they have never fulfilled their due obligations. The specific situation is as follows: after the signing of the share reform agreement, the new investors have to solve the team's expenses and player salaries after May, while the contemporary is responsible for solving various legacy problems before May. It was very well discussed, but until the end of the previous few days, the new investors did not fulfill their obligations, and the players felt very sad and planned to withdraw.
Right now, there's one more round of the season and the players will be at ease. As for the operation of the club, representatives of all parties will also sit at the negotiating table to coordinate. (To put it more: the real problems in Chongqing are also the problems faced by most clubs)
Hebei and Chongqing Liangjiang Athletics are both meritorious teams in the Chinese Super League, and although they are not as influential as Shandong Taishan, Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Haigang, they have always been respected teams in Chinese football. We don't want these two teams to withdraw because of the problem of survival, because it will be another devastating blow to Chinese football. The Chinese Football Cooperation is the highest decision-maker of Chinese football, and it should take action, not just responsible for issuing government decrees, and the rest will be left to fend for itself, which is not a qualified decision-maker.
The author also hopes that pragmatic managers like Kim Jong-fu and Zhang Wailong will continue to lead the team forward, and this kind of tears and helplessness will not appear again. (Shancheng Zhang Wailong, Yan Zhao Jin zhongfu)
