After several turns, two naturalized players, Luo Guofu and Alain, finally arrived in Tokyo to meet the Chinese men's football team, and after a day of rest and adjustment, on January 25, they participated in the second training of the national football team. It is worth noting that later, Luo Guofu also posted a special article on his personal social platform to apologize for the remarks of the previous "shelling of the FOOTBALL Association", and he also deleted the controversial content related to his social media. Luo Guofu said that he did not fully understand the incident, and made an impulsive remark under the anger and anxiety, formally apologizing to the Football Association. Luo Guofu's active confession of mistakes is a temporary end to this storm, but whether the management and use of naturalized players has been completely resolved, it will take time to give an answer.
The national football team is struggling with how to use naturalized players, and the Chinese Super League is in a critical transition period. Looking back at the history of professional football in China, the Korean Wave phenomenon triggered by Korean coaches and Korean players once became the mainstream of the Chinese Super League, and this phenomenon reached its peak in the 2016 season - at the end of that season, there were 5 Korean coaches lee jang-so, Jang Wai-yong, Park Tae-ha, Hong Myung-fu and Choi Long-so coaches coaching the Chinese Super League team, and until the Chinese Football Association canceled the Asian foreign aid policy, Korean players have always been the standard of all Chinese Super League teams. However, with the further escalation of the "arms race" in the Chinese Super League, many well-known coaches in Europe and the United States have arrived, and the momentum of Korean coaches in the Chinese Super League has not been as good as before. However, with the change of the general environment, in the past 2021 season, Korean coaches and players have once again become a force that cannot be ignored in the Chinese Super League.
In the final round of the 2021 Chinese Super League, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic defeated Wuhan 2-1 and finally landed a thrill to complete relegation. It is worth mentioning that before the start of this game, Zhang Wailong, the heavy coach, hid his face and shed tears on the coach's bench, and after the team successfully relegated, Zhang Wailong once again cried.
As the saying goes, "Boys have tears and don't flick, only because they haven't reached the emotional place", for Zhang Wailong, the key is to choke on tears before the war, and tears flow after relegation, which is the embodiment and release of huge pressure. Defeating Wuhan in the final game, for the Chongqing players, they not only won a goal after 90 minutes of hard fighting, nor did they just pass this hurdle in the battle of life and death, but also carried the huge pressure of the whole season and finally achieved self-redemption.
Before the start of the season, everyone foresaw that the 2021 season that has not yet opened the curtain will be more difficult than 2020, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic basically locked in a play-off place, but the Chongqing team soldiers used their own blood and sweat and hard work to perfectly interpret the strength of the spiritual force, the future of the club stock reform is unknown, the system training is intermittent, the second stage of life and death, only one foreign aid is left, when the difficulties roll in, the Chongqing team defended the Qualification of the Chinese Super League and created their own miracle, while the South Korean coach Zhang Wailong, It is the leader of this team who passes on what he believes in to everyone in the team. Zhang Wailong, who has traveled to Qingdao, Dalian, Henan and Chongqing, has long been an old acquaintance of the Chinese Super League, known for his defensive counterattack and "seven-second theory", and in the past 2021 season, he has shown the meaning of the word tenacity to the outside world.

First of all, I would like to thank the players for overcoming so many difficulties this year and completing the season goals. As head coach, I want to thank them. This is the last game of the league this year, thanks also to the fighting spirit of both teams. I am very happy that all our previous efforts have been best rewarded and we can go home and spend time with my family.
Like Zhang Wailong, Kim Jong-fu, who coached in Hebei, faced the same dilemma, the future of the club was uncertain, the players were plagued by salary arrears, but he was different from Zhang Wailong, who was already a long brother of the old man in the Chinese Super League, with many years of experience, Kim Jong-fu was the first time to get involved in the Chinese Super League, was a passer-by who rushed in the face of difficulties, or came to make some movement, Kim Jong-fu chose the latter.
High-level players are constantly being sold, players in the team can not get salaries, Kim Jong-fu faces a real challenge, it is difficult to have a Malcom who he knows very well in the Korean arena, hard work to develop a strategy with him as the core, and the Brazilian striker went to Wuhan Sanzhen in the middle of the season. During the league break, Hebei team broke negative news continuously, shrouded by the shadow of retirement in the middle of the season, but at the critical moment, the news of Kim Jong-fu's entry boosted everyone's confidence, after all, he had completed the relegation task of leading the team into the championship group, and in the context of the club's salary arrears, he had every reason to choose not to return.
In the second stage of the league, a large number of U23 players of the Hebei team were trained, although they only won one victory, but the result of the defeat of Shanghai Harbor affected the championship pattern, before the 19th round of the league, hebei's 12 main players were named leave but went on strike, and Kim Jong-fu could only take the substitute to play with Luneng. In the face of opponents who went all out and aimed to win the championship early, although Hebei lost two goals, they did not let the game become a tragedy. And this Luji battle can almost be seen as the epitome of the entire season of Hebei team, although there are many problems, but this team has not collapsed, did not collapse because of those who chose to stick...

The second stage in Guangzhou was the most difficult situation I encountered in my career, in the first stage, our lineup was relatively complete and achieved good results, and in the second stage of the game, we encountered a lot of difficulties. I hope that the injured players will recover as soon as possible, and I hope that the club can get through the difficulties as soon as possible, and I hope that the players and the club can have a good start next season.
Two Korean coaches, Jang Wai-yong and Kim Jong-fu, had a hard time in the Chinese Super League, but in fact, when the 2021 season began, there were three Korean coaches in the Chinese Super League, in addition to the above two, as well as Choi Kang-hee, the South Korean godfather coach who coached Shanghai Shenhua. However, it is very interesting that although Choi Kang-hee is not as hard as Jang Wai-yong and Kim Jong-fu, he is the one of the three who has not been able to stick to the position to the end. Zhang Wailong and Jin Jongfu, who are gentle on the outside and stubborn in heart, not only interpret the meaning of the word insistence, but also bring another kind of touch to the Chinese Super League that encountered a cold winter - the development of Chinese football to the "post-Golden Yuan era", the spiritual combat effectiveness, is also a huge bonus on the arena. In the new season, if Zhang Wailong and Kim Jong-fu still choose to stay behind, then they will usher in a new partner, leading Chengdu Rongcheng into xu Zhengyuan in the Chinese Super League.
Unlike the environment of the two predecessors, Xu Zhengyuan came to the Chinese arena, his team is not short of money or people, and like the two predecessors, Xu Zhengyuan will also instill tenacity and tenacity into this team of Tianfu City. In the case of everyone looking at Dalian, the Chengdu team laughed to the end, which was the best gift for Sichuan fans, and Xu Zhengyuan fulfilled his promise to his mother who did not see the last side.

My mother died and I can't go back because of the pandemic, so I want to get a good result this season. When we encountered difficulties, everyone did not give up, and I wanted to give my mother the gift of success, which was my agreement with my mother when I came to China.
The South Korean coach proved himself this year, and the players from the Korean arena also left traces in the Chinese Super League. In fact, in recent years, due to the change of the foreign aid policy of the AFC Champions League, the Chinese Super League has rarely seen the figure of Korean foreign aid, but the arrival of Sun Junhao, the MVP of the K League last season, gave Chinese fans the opportunity to once again appreciate the style of South Korea's first-class players, and in Shandong Taishan, Sun Zhunhao played exactly the back position that Korean foreign aid was better at in the past. When it comes to the 2021 Season Super League Most Valuable Player, Sun Zhunhao is the well-deserved best candidate, he is not just a star who performs brilliantly in Shandong Taishan, he brings the overall improvement to the team, and Taishan's double crown is the most powerful proof. As the first Korean player in the history of Shandong Taishan, Sun Junhao made a good start for himself and for his latecomers. I believe that in the new season, there will be more Chinese Super League clubs to focus on the cost-effective Korean players, and finding Sun Junhao, who belongs to his club, is the work of many teams this winter.
In the 2021 season, it is not only the double champion Shandong Taishan, but also Changchun Yatai, who ranked in the top four as a promoted horse and won the ticket for the 2022 AFC Champions League qualification tournament, to achieve such achievements, although they are not the first in the league, but in this era of golden dollar football retreat, it is more difficult. The last battle of the league against Shandong, Yatai team once led, and finally won a draw, go all out to fight, is the greatest respect for the champion, Yatai scored this goal, is the beginning of Junyor Negran's forced robbery of Sun Junhao, the korean iron waist that has been stable throughout the season has rarely made mistakes, and finally led to the loss of the ball, Junier's decisive grab, people feel a lot, last season's K League Golden Boot stole last season's K League MVP, such a scene occurred in the Chinese Super League, they joined hands to give K League players make the biggest sales pitch.
When Changchun Yatai returned to the Chinese Super League as the champion of the Chinese League A, they made up for the strong in the line, but signed the 35-year-old free agent Junier in the form of zero transfer fees, which can't help but make the outside world wonder what kind of help Changchun's signing can bring to the team? A season rushed by, 14 goals, the Brazilian from the K League Golden Boot to the Chinese Super League Golden Boot, to help the team enter the AFC Champions League, Lian Po although the old can still score, Junier's performance, let people on the Idea and Vision of Yatai's selection, give a thumbs up.
From coaches to players, from Korean players to K-League players, these people who were once drifting away from the Chinese Super League in the Jin Yuan era are now back on this stage, and they have also given their own answers with their own efforts, Zhang Wailong's tenacity and perseverance on the edge of the team's life and death, Kim Jong-fu's gentleness and enlightenment of young players, Sun Junhao, who made Taishan's attack and defense transition smooth and efficient, plus Juniel, who scored goals, these surging Korean waves, left an unforgettable mark on the Chinese Super League in the 2021 season. And what kind of waves can the Korean Wave in the new season set off? This is a very exciting topic...
