On May 3, Beijing time, just when everyone speculated whether Guangzhou player Zheng Zhi would participate in this year's Chinese Super League as a player in the future, Wang Minghao said that Zheng Zhi had decided to leave the team, and he himself may also be engaged in coaching work in the future.
This means that before the start of the new season, Guangzhou has one less experienced veteran player.
Reporter Wang was a follower reporter of the Jiangsu Suning team, and he himself is a Guangdong native. Previously, he also revealed that Zheng Zhi will most likely join Shenzhen Kaisa and work as the coach of the team.
However, the Shenzhen team later underwent major changes, with new sponsors funding. No longer need to be tight, whether they will still want Zheng Zhilai to play the role of a player and a player in the team has become a variable.
In the second half of last year, Zheng Zhi was nominally a player in guangzhou, but he actually served as the head coach of guangzhou. It's just that there is no coaching qualification certificate, and Zheng Zhi does not appear on the list of team managers.
This year, Zheng Zhi has obtained the AFC B coach qualification certificate, but it still needs 2 years of experience as a coach in the top league to become a manager.
However, that doesn't stop him from coaching the team. Previously, Liu Lin, the head coach of Wuhan Jiangda Women's Football Team, did not have relevant qualification certificates, but still led the team to win the women's Super League championship.
Zheng Zhi's departure from Guangzhou means that the strength of the team will further decline. Last year, his coaching has been recognized by many people in the industry. But this year, the coach of the Guangzhou team will not be him,
Due to the large number of main players left the team last season, plus a foreign aid, Li Xuepeng and Zhang Xiuwei have also made it clear that they will not represent the team in the league, and Tan Kaiyuan has gone to the Serbian Super League for trial training. The strength of the Guangzhou team is in the bottom of the entire Chinese Super League.
The team has more young players and fewer veterans. And some of the remaining players may leave the team at the summer transfer window. Jiang Guangtai and others were already quite tired. If you start the league directly, it is quite unfavorable for the team.
Of course, the Guangzhou team is not without supplementary players. Zheng Shengxiong, who played for Sichuan Jiuniu, and Li Yang, who played for Wuhan Yangtze River, both appeared in the Guangzhou squad. Among them, Zheng Shengxiong is the most prominent domestic player in the Jiuniu team, and he is also a U23 player.
But even if these players can play, the team's strength is still not small compared with other teams with foreign aid. Guangzhou and Hebei may be the only two teams without foreign aid in the new season.
Zheng Zhi's next stop may be other Chinese Super League teams in Guangdong, or directly to the lower league teams as managers. With his experience and ability to control the field, I believe that it will not be long before there will be a top coach in the country.
In the future, the national football team will most likely invite Zheng Zhi to serve as a coach.
This year's league is different from last year, and Guangzhou will definitely encounter relegation opponents who grab points. Teams, whether old or young, are likely to be targeted by their opponents.
The Chinese League One over the past many years has shown that having good domestic players is not enough to guarantee that the team will win the game, and even the draw will be difficult.
