On the stage of the Chinese men's national football team, the change of coaches is often like a tide, and each change stirs the hearts of tens of millions of fans. Now, another storm of rotation is approaching - Jankovic is about to step down his coaching whip after the unsatisfactory Asian Cup campaign of the national football team. This is not only a farewell to a coach, but also a deep reflection on the future of the national football team.
Jankovic's departure seems to be an unfair fate. He is like a brave warrior, burdened with too many responsibilities - not only the deployment of skills and tactics, but also the arduous task of integrating the overall level of the national football team with international standards. However, in the world of football, the result is the final judge. Under Jankovic's leadership, the performance of the national football team did not meet expectations, and such a result undoubtedly paved a one-way road for him to leave the field.
As Jankovic's back faded away, the name of a new helmsman began to shine on the national football skyline – Queiroz. His figure is not only a candidate for a successor, but also a symbol of the new era that the national football team may usher in.
Queiroz's CV is a thick history of football, documenting his footprints at club and national team level. Not only does he have a wealth of coaching experience at club level, but he also has a proven track record of success at national team level – notably with the Iranian national team, which has earned him the respect of international football.
When it comes to Queiroz, one has to compare him to other football coaches. Compared with masters such as Lippi, Queiroz has shown outstanding strategic layout and team management ability when he is in charge of the national team. His football philosophy and subtle interpretation of the game made him stand out from the crowd of candidates.
However, in the world of football, money also plays a pivotal role. The salary requirements of the Queiroz team are undoubtedly something that the Chinese Football Association needs to think carefully about when making the final decision. On the scales of value for money, whether Queiroz's team will be able to bring a return commensurate to the national football team is a question worth considering for all involved.
Despite the constraints of practical factors such as plans and salaries, the possibility of Queiroz becoming the new manager of the national football team is still an unknown game. Whether the choice of the Football Association will fall on him depends not only on his past glory, but also on the hope and change he can bring to Chinese football in the future.
While discussing all this, we have to face a deeper question – can even world-class coaches really turn around the fate of Chinese football on their own? After all, football is a team sport, and what is needed is the overall improvement, the progress of each player's skills and awareness, and the fundamental change of football culture and system.
The future of the national football team should not be completely pinned on a famous coach. The road to reform is long and difficult, and it requires far-reaching thinking and comprehensive action. Queiroz may be able to bring a ray of light to Chinese football, but the real dawn requires the continuous efforts of Chinese football itself and the continuous progress of moving forward.
The challenge for Queiroz is obvious. First of all, there is still a gap between the level of Chinese football and the first-class level in Asia, let alone the world's strongest teams. Secondly, the player structure and youth training system of the national football team, as well as the professional attitude and game psychology of the players, all need to be deeply optimized and improved. What Queiroz needs is not only tactical intelligence, but also the ability to manage and motivate players, as well as the courage to change the atmosphere of the team.
However, there are also opportunities in the midst of challenges. The huge potential of the Chinese football market, as well as the determination of the Chinese Football Association to reform football in recent years, has provided Queiroz with a broad stage. If he can grasp this point and realize the strategic transformation of the national football team, then he will write a strong stroke in the history of Chinese football.
Football is not only the victory or defeat of a game, it is also a kind of culture, a transmission of spirit. If Queiroz can become the helm of the national football team, what he needs to do is not only to let the team win the game, but also to plant the seeds of football in the hearts of the players, so that they can understand the true meaning of football - this is a team cooperation, a contest of wisdom and will, and the embodiment of indomitable fighting spirit.
We must realize that the future of the national football team should not depend on the aura of a foreign coach, but on the transformation of the entire system. This includes the improvement of the youth training system, the reform of the league system, the innovation of the player training mechanism, and the improvement of the cultural quality of the majority of fans. If Queiroz is to come, his role should be more of a reformer than just a tactician and coach.
At the end of the discussion, we have to confront a possible controversy – if Queiroz does not take charge of the national football team in the end, or even if he becomes the manager, the national football team still does not achieve a qualitative leap, then the whole discussion is just a continuation of a dream that ended in nothing?
The future of Chinese football should not be a short-term craze, but continuous efforts and accumulation. We expect Queiroz to bring change to Chinese football, but we should be more soberly aware that he is not alone in making a difference. The development of football is like the waves of the sea, and it cannot be calmed overnight.
The road to self-redemption of Chinese football must start from the roots. This means that we should not only pay attention to macroeconomic regulation and policy guidance at the top level, but also pay more attention to popularization and education at the grassroots level. Every child's dream of playing football, the hard work of every coach, and the support and understanding of every parent are the hope for the future of Chinese football.
Against this backdrop, the arrival of Queiroz can be seen as a new starting point, an opportunity to trigger change. As a veteran with extensive international experience, his knowledge and experience are of extraordinary significance to domestic coaches and players.
In short, whether Queiroz can become the coach of the national football team or not, the reform of Chinese football should not stand still. The Queiroz rumours are just a focal point, an opportunity for reflection and discussion. The charm of football lies in its unpredictability, but its development and success require foreseeable effort and long-term planning.
The future of Chinese football is far from being written, and every choice and attempt is an investment in the future. Let's hope that Queiroz can bring new ideas to Chinese football, and at the same time, we also hope that Chinese football can find its own path to success in continuous exploration.
