On January 6, Beijing time, the Changchun Yatai team led by three former Wuhan coaches Chen Yang, Liu Junfeng and Wang Wenhua successfully won the fourth place in the league. Since the champions and runners-up of the FA Cup coincide with the champions and runners-up of the league, Changchun Yatai has also locked a place in the AFC Champions League qualifiers in advance.
The three coaches were appointed at the end of 2020, but they did a good job, Yatai went up the ladder every year, and finally returned to the top league and the AFC Champions League. In the new season, can they still surprise the fans?
In the Chinese Super League, Wuhan fans are most familiar with the coaching staff of Changchun Yatai. Coach Chen Yang, goalkeeper coach Liu Junfeng and coach Wang Wenhua are all old acquaintances of the Wuhan team.
Previously, the three had worked as coaches in the Wuhan team at different times.
Chen Yang was the coach of the U23 national team, joined the Wuhan Zall team after class, and created a good record in the 17 seasons. The team scored 19 points in 13 rounds of the league, and defeated the bitter lords such as Beikong and Shenxin in one fell swoop, and also drew away to strong teams such as Yongchang, Dalian Yifang and Greentown.
Liu Junfeng has served as a goalkeeper coach in Wuhan Optics Valley and Wuhan Zhuoer, and a group of excellent goalkeepers have all embarked on the league under his guidance.
Wang Wenhua is an old minister of the Wuhan team and the last former Jianlibao youth team player to retire. He also went to Xinjiang with Hubei Huakaier and played for 2 seasons that year. When Hubei Luyin started in the middle division, he was the coach and player of the team. The story of coaches directly teaching other players to play football is not unique to guangzhou.
In the 20th season, Changchun Yatai once had a bad record. Watching this former Chinese Super League champion, unable to reach the top league for 2 consecutive seasons. The team chose to change the coach, Chen Yang brought coaches such as Liu Junfeng and Wang Wenhua to the team, and won the record of total victory in the second stage.
New season, as a promotion horse. The team became more and more courageous, and eventually finished fourth in the league and reached the AFC Champions League.
The team not only has tan long and other former national football forwards, but also has a group of foreign aides with good strength. Yatai's success in recent seasons has a lot to do with the team's lack of injuries. And these are the credit of the coaches and team doctors.
In addition, Chen Yang's tactical arrangement is very appropriate. Most players have played their due level, even against the strongest teams in the Chinese Super League such as Harbor and Shandong Taishan, Changchun Yatai is not behind.
Previously, only a few teams such as Guangzhou (Evergrande) and Tianjin Tianhai were able to enter the AFC Champions League in the first season. However, these teams have invested heavily. And Yatai's investment, in this year's Chinese Super League, is not much. But they were able to take advantage of the opportunity and get good results. And this is what super local teams such as SIPG, Huaxia Happiness, Guangzhou City (R&F), Dalian Renren (Albin) and other super local teams have not been able to do in the first season of the Chinese Super League.
Before the start of the new season, the three former Wuhan coaches have new challenges. Yatai is back in the AFC Champions League where he once created a glorious one, and their opponents in the play-offs are likely to be teams from Southeast Asia.
In the past, Changchun Yatai has created 9-0 Pescipla, which is the biggest score of Chinese Super League teams in the AFC Champions League. In addition, they have also overpowered pohang Ironman, beating the Vietnamese team 5-0 and drawing Adelaide 2. It's just a bit weak against the Japanese team. As long as Yatai sends the main player to participate, the team is very likely to enter the main game, and there is still hope that the group will qualify.
