About Xie Feng's Guidance 7788 (Part 2)

The Chinese men's football team is experiencing a darkest moment.

The final match of the World Cup Round of 12 against Oman is regarded as the "battle of honor" of the Chinese men's football team, but this team has not been able to unite and accumulate even the strength to fight for honor until the last moment.

At that moment, whether it is ball blindness, professional fans, or the media, they can only be dumbfounded.

I just don't know how every practitioner in the front line of Chinese football feels at this moment. From Li Tie to Li Xiaopeng, the reputation of local coaches has been thrown on the ground and ruthlessly crushed.

We also don't know what he really thinks at this time, as the guidance of Xie Feng, a front-line practitioner in Chinese football.

For Xie Feng, who is also a local Chinese coach, 2022 is a special year, and on January 14, he was officially announced as the head coach of his hometown team Beijing Guoan Club.

The uncertainty of the new crown epidemic, the financial austerity faced by almost all Chinese Super League clubs, and the reputation accumulated before have all pushed the 55-year-old Xie Feng to the position of head coach of the hometown team he loves.

At the moment of the official announcement, Xie Feng expressed: "I hope to take root in Beijing and deeply cultivate the (Guoan) Club." ”

Under the calm appearance of the five-foot boy, there is a surge of blood, in fact, perhaps Xie Feng's guidance wants to express more: "I want to be with Beijing Guoan forever." ”

In 2011, Xie Feng, who had been wandering outside for many years, returned to Guoan for the first time as Pacheco's assistant coach. In that season, he had to play with the reserve team.

In a reserve team match, Guoan home to Shenzhen, Xie Feng met Li Yi, who was too familiar to him to be familiar with. In terms of the substitution of the reserve team, the Shenzhen side hoped that Xie Feng could be accommodative and replace one more player, but this request was still rejected by Xie Feng.

Although it was only a reserve team game, Xie Feng still had something to say.

"Keep your duty", this is probably the most basic principle of Xie Feng's handling in this circle.

In fact, a person who has worked alone in a foreign land for more than 10 years, compared to his past self, Xie Feng is definitely more mellow.

So much so that after an old Guoan party in 2008, teammate Lu Jun sincerely sighed:

"He wasn't so able to say it before, probably because he was the leader of the Shenzhen team."

The years have polished the edges and corners of people, but they will still leave the most precious authenticity.

Adhere to the principle; at the critical moment, and have enough courage to stand up, these qualities, the achievement of a "fire captain".

In the 2016 season, after the famous coach Zacheroni led the Guoan team to a bad start, Xie Feng, who had been in the Guoan team for many years, finally came up and became the head of the Chinese coaching team.

Xie Feng has always been grateful to Zaccheroni himself and the club for the trust they had placed in him at that time.

"My dream is to coach a better team!"

"As you know, I used to watch games without sitting on the bench. I was in the stands, recording some of the statistics of the matches and handing them over to the coach. When Zacheroni came, after communicating with me, hoping that I could help him more, he let me sit on the bench from the stands. ”

"He was the second foreign coach besides Stano to have me attend a pre-game coaching meeting. I guess that's the biggest trust in me. ”

"Before leaving, through his translator, I was given a video of him coaching the Japanese national team, and this video helped me a lot."

In the second half of the 2016 season, Xie Feng served as the head of the Chinese coaching team, under his rule, Beijing Guoan scored 34 points in the last 21 rounds of the game, and scored only one point behind the AFC Champions League, ranking higher than SIPG and Shenhua.

Although the 5th place in the league looks ok, it is still a big regret for Xie Feng personally not to enter the AFC Champions League.

When he led the team to play Guangzhou Evergrande away that season, he also used the 541 formation. Yes, it is the 541 formation that we are still talking about to this day.

In this regard, Xie Feng's guidance is how it is viewed.

Chinese coaches cannot be separated from the management style of Chinese parents, in other words, they understand the personality of each player, cherish the talent of the player, and understand the situation of the player.

So, so sometimes, they treat players like kids.

Some would say, well, it lacks the spirit of a modern club; but on the other hand, it feels a warm flow from person to person.

When doing the 2016 season summary interview, Xie Feng's guidance suddenly broke into tears when talking about Park Cheng's injury and surgery, but there was no relative around to accompany him.

The 2016-2017 season was a year of transformation for Beijing Guoan Club. Because in January 2017, the club completed the equity transfer, and Sinobo Land held 64% of the equity of Guoan Club, becoming the club's largest shareholder.

After taking over, Sinobo's goal is directed at the Chinese Super League championship, and the foreign head coach is still the first choice of the first team. Therefore, at the beginning of the 2017 season, Xie Feng failed to take over the coach's coaching whip and was replaced by Espanyol Jose.

However, Jose was unable to establish authority in the dressing room, and the team was once again in trouble, and it was at this time that Xie Feng once again stepped forward until Schmidt came to Beijing.

After the arrival of the Germans, the club offered to let Xie Feng lead the reserve team, this time, Xie Feng chose to leave.

In a later interview with Beijing Youth Daily, talking about that experience, Xie Feng said: "Since the first team has hired foreign teachers, then the echelons at all levels of Guoan should also be taken over by the German coaching team, which is a long-term and responsible approach." ”

In 2018, because of his familiarity with the Chinese Super League team and his resume as a "firefighting captain", Xie Feng was hired by Hebei Huaxia Happiness as technical director and assistant coach.

In 2019, Xie Feng made his sixth appearance to "fight the fire", as executive head coach, taking over the work of Welshman Coleman.

At that time, the Chinese Super League was still in the "Golden Dollar Era", but at this time, the plight of many real estate companies had begun to show the tip of the iceberg.

Xie Feng helped the club stabilize the final situation before the cold winter came.

His attitude towards football has never changed, and the attitude he wants to express through football has never changed.

The 2022 season of the Chinese Super League is about to start. Just yesterday, Beijing Guoan Club announced that it had completed the renewal of contracts with 17 young players.

Over the years, no matter which club he is in, Xie Feng's guidance has always attached great importance to domestic good seedlings, and will promote and recommend young people. The current chaos in Chinese football means more opportunities and opportunities for local young people in it in a way.

We can say that this is the worst era for Chinese football, but it may also be the best era.

"Seriousness can change oneself, persistence can change destiny."

This sentence is given to Xie Feng, a footballer who celebrated his 56th birthday today, and also to Beijing Guoan in the 2022 season.

Xie Feng guidance, happy birthday!

The days when there are footballs are accompanied, and every day is as happy as a birthday.
