As the 2024 season approaches, Henan football is ushering in a new stage of development.
The Central Plains Iron Army, a resilient team, has been exploring the path of sustainable development. As the new season approaches, the team has made a series of adjustments and plans to try to take solid steps in the direction of professional, professional and stability.
One of the first changes is the change in the management of the team. The addition of the new deputy general manager Li Weifeng has brought new hope to the team. Li Weifeng focuses on local youth training, which is considered a very important part of contemporary football. The long-term development of football clubs needs to be built on the basis of local youth training and cultivate more excellent local players. This not only contributes to the long-term competitiveness of the team, but also contributes to the development of Chinese football.
The team also took a series of advance preparation measures during the winter training period. Winter training ahead of schedule allows for better conditioning of the players so that they can be in the best shape at the start of the new season. During the winter training period, the team also plans to retain head coach Sarko, which is a guarantee of the team's stability. Managers play a vital role in the team, and their tactical philosophy and technical guidance are crucial to the development of the team.
However, there are still some variables about the team's lineup changes. Renewing the contract of local players and introducing Henan players have become the focus of the team's consideration. When renewing a contract, teams need to weigh a player's performance, potential and salary.
At the same time, the introduction of Henan players is to better establish emotional connections with local fans and increase the team's sense of regional identity. This strategy not only helps the club's business expansion, but also helps to increase the team's local presence.
Henan Football Club has made the development goal clear as "three steps". The three major steps include professionalization, specialization, and steady development. Professionalism refers to the club's operation model becoming more professional, including management, training, competitions and other aspects. Professionalism is to improve the professional level of the team inside and outside, including the coaching staff, players, logistics support, etc. The steady development is to maintain competitiveness while focusing on the sustainable development of the club, and strive to become a century-old football club.
This development goal is the strategic planning of the Central Plains Iron Army in the context of the new era.
Chinese football is experiencing unprecedented development opportunities, and more and more people are joining the sport. As an important force in Chinese football, the development of Henan Football Club is not only related to the future of the team itself, but also closely related to the improvement of the overall level of Chinese football.
Overall, the Central Plains Iron Army has ushered in new opportunities and challenges before the 2024 season. Through the change of management, the early start of winter training, the adjustment of the squad and the "three steps" development goals, the team looks to the future and strives to go further in the journey of professional football. This is not only the growth of a team, but also a microcosm of the development of Chinese football.
