The timing is not right, why did Shenhua suddenly change his commander? Wu Jingui's "contradictions" became public?

After a few days of rumors, the new coach of Shenhua has finally surfaced, and Russian media revealed that former Russian national team coach Slutsky will go to China with two assistants to sign a contract to take over Shenhua in the next few days.

Having led the Russian national team and led CSKA Moscow to glory, Slutsky's past resume is definitely enough for the Chinese Super League.

After all, since he left CSKA in 16 years, his coaching experience in the past few years can be summed up by failure! Not to mention that his previous knowledge of the Chinese Super League and Asian football is basically zero, it is obvious that this is a risky choice!

Of course, Shenhua's choice of Slutsky is not the biggest risk, their biggest adventure is to win Wu Jingui at this point in time!

In the eyes of many people, if Shenhua wants to go to the next level, it should be replaced by Wu Jingui. Public opinion has a lot of controversy about the "frisbee" tactics adopted by Shenhua in the 2023 season. And the group of players in the Shenhua 01 age group has a good quality, but in the past two years, Wu Jingui has indeed been more conservative in the use of this group of players.

However, even if Wu Jingui has this or that problem, it is not an ideal node for changing the commander at this stage.

Judging from the results, the goal set for Wu Jingui before the start of the Shenhua season is better than last year, and Wu Jingui led the team to win the fifth + FA Cup championship in the league, which is an overfulfilled task!

Compared with Xavier's locker room before he left class in SIPG, the locker room was out of control, Wu Jingui's control over the Shenhua locker room was enough.

What's more, whether you can win the Super League championship or not, many times it is determined by the cards. In 19 years, Evergrande's card, Cannavaro brought, he can also lead the team to win the championship. As for a coach like Xavier, who can only lead the team to defend and counterattack, and often only fights after the game when the opponent's iron bucket formation cannot be broken, he can also bring Hong Kong to win the championship. If Shenhua's cards in the new season are good enough, why do we think that Wu Jingui can't lead the team to win the championship?

Of course, if the Shenhua Club had a full plan a long time ago, it would be impossible to finalize the new coach as soon as the season ends, and then build the team according to the new coach's ideas and make a recruitment plan.

But the problem is that even after the FA Cup final, the Shenhua Club still released a signal that Wu Jingui would stay in office. When Wu Jingui has begun to prepare for the new season, Shenhua's recruitment work has already begun, which means that Shenhua's recruitment work has been completed or is in progress is not based on the needs of the new coach. If you don't build the team according to the needs of the new manager, if you don't do a good job by then, it's best to take him down again, in fact, it's not very fair to the new coach!

Of course, the reason why I chose to change at a time that should not be changed may also have a lot to do with Wu Jingui's "high merit and mastery" in Shenhua.

In fact, in the middle of the 2023 season, Shenhua still has the hope of competing for the league championship with SIPG. However, discerning people also know very well that if Shenhua wants to compete for the championship at that time, it should be replaced with foreign aid; if Shenhua replaces Yan Xinli and Teixeira at that time, and invites two foreign aides suitable for Wu Jingui's system, Shenhua will at least have a chance to compete with Shanghai Hong Kong to the end.

At that time, Wu Jingui really hoped that the club could get a strong foreign aid. But what is the result? Shenhua not only did not use foreign aid, but the club also stuffed Wu Jingui with a blind and confident start of the "King of Ball" style of play as long as he played, which made Dai Weijun, who was particularly liked by the fans of the highlights. In fact, the operation of Shenhua in the summer window in the transfer market is to tell public opinion that they do not plan to compete for the championship.

So why don't you give it a go when you have a chance to compete for the championship? Of course, it has to do with the budget. After all, as soon as the long event came in, he paid off a lot of debts for Greenland, which affected the investment in the first team. But from another point of view, when the so-called sports director who has rich connections in Europe can only bring foreign aid of Yan Xinli's level to the head coach, and Teixeira, a foreign aid who is not suitable for the Chinese Super League, and Dai Weijun is stuffed in the middle; Wu Jingui wants to change foreign aid to compete for the championship but does not get consent, doesn't it fully show that Wu Jingui and the management have long had disagreements and even contradictions?

When Shenhua only has a striker like Malelai, what can Wu Jingui do if he doesn't play the "frisbee" tactic? And the reason why Shenhua only has a striker like Malelai, and can only play the "frisbee" tactic is a manifestation of the team's failure to play foreign aid last year. Shouldn't someone take on more responsibility than Wu Jingui?

In fact, to a certain extent, Wu Jingui, an old minister with high achievements, can play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army during the turbulent period of Shenhua. But in Chinese football, there will never be an investor, nor will there be a boss who likes a coach with high achievements, after all, Chinese football has always been a "game of thrones"!

Even in terms of results, Wu Jingui has no problem with the control of the locker room; even if the root cause of the "frisbee" tactic is unfavorable, it has nothing to do with Wu Jingui, and now is not a good time to change the coach. But when the differences and even contradictions have been made public, when the management wants to better control the team, it is difficult to tolerate a high-ranking head coach, and it is impossible to think about Wu Jingui if he can't get out of class!
