Chen Yang left office, and Xie Hui took over! Yatai has been "pressed and beaten" since then?
Special correspondent Liu Yong reported that on April 17, Changchun Yatai issued two announcements in succession, one announcing the acceptance of Chen Yang's resignation and the other announcing Xie Hui's appointment. In fact, Chen Yang had left the team on the 15th, while Xie Hui arrived in Changchun on the 17th. Such an efficient change of manager highlights Changchun Yatai's desire for stability, as the club is worried about the impact of the team's four consecutive defeats and Chen Yang's departure. After all, in the next two rounds of the league, Changchun Yatai faced direct opponents of relegation - first away to challenge Wuhan Three Towns, ranked 14th, and then home to Meizhou Hakka, which is also in the relegation zone. Whether it can help Changchun Yatai get out of trouble is a test of Xie Hui's team's adaptability and wisdom.
After Chen Yang's resignation, the rumors that Xie Hui would sign a contract with Yatai quickly attracted the attention of the outside world. Xie Hui, who has his own traffic, just arrived at the club at noon on the 17th, and was soon "secretly photographed" and posted on the Internet, attracting fans to surround the gate of the base and wait for him to appear. "Xie Hui is a coach with the box office appeal of 'Nanling', and I hope that Changchun Yatai can catch this splash of wealth and get out of the predicament. A fan said excitedly after learning that Xie Hui had joined Changchun Yatai, "I was very passionate about watching him play football back then, and I was also very imposing when I saw him coaching before, but now this 'pressing and playing' is coming to Changchun, and 'Nanling' is not popular!"
For the fans, their happiness is very simple, and whoever can bring them more joy will be able to support you. But this kind of joy on the green field, like an iron-clad battalion of soldiers, is difficult to obtain by one person for a long time.
From this point of view, Chen Yang's departure is also in line with the law. There is no banquet in the world, three and a half years of coaching Changchun Yatai, Chen Yang spanned 5 seasons, experienced three seasons of the competition system, in 99 games of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League, 7 games of the FA Cup, he handed over 42 wins, 28 draws and 36 losses. During this period, he took over the team halfway to complete Changchun Yatai's goal of returning to the Chinese Super League, and led the team to win the fourth place in the Chinese Super League in the second year. During his tenure as coach of Changchun Yatai, Chen Yang has been improving his coaching ideas and hopes to complete the transformation of this team through his own efforts. It's just that in the process of continuous optimization, the results have become the last straw that overwhelmed him.
Preparing for the 2024 season of the Chinese Super League, Changchun Yatai is the first team to start winter training, releasing a signal to make a difference in the new season. But as soon as the new season started, Changchun Yatai showed fatigue. In the first half of the debut, Shandong Taishan scored 4 goals, and in the context of Shandong Taishan's participation in the AFC Champions League at that time, Changchun Yatai did not exert all its strength. In the second round, they defeated Qingdao Manatee by one goal away, and their performance was acceptable. In the next four rounds of games, Changchun Yatai was unlucky, the home team was killed by Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, the home team was reversed by Shanghai Shenhua and Chengdu Rongcheng in the second reading stage, and lost to the Cangzhou Lions away, and the injury and non-combat attrition caught Chen Yang off guard, even to the point that no one was available.
In the last round of home stoppage time, 1-2 was defeated and reversed by Chengdu Rongcheng, and Changchun Yatai gave up the three points in hand, which attracted the dissatisfaction of the cheering fans on the spot. After the game, Chen Yang led the players around the field for a week and was criticized by some fans when he thanked the game. In the face of the dissatisfaction of the fans, Chen Yang took the initiative to take responsibility. After returning to the club, Chen Yang took the initiative to resign. Although the club's management has repeatedly retained, Chen Yang has made up his mind. In desperation, Changchun Yatai had no choice but to contact the new coaching team in a short time.
In just two days, the efficient work of Changchun Yatai's management has paid off. At noon on the 17th, Xie Hui flew to Changchun, watched the team's training at the Jingyue base in the afternoon, and accepted the signing conditions of Changchun Yatai in the evening.
As a former coach of Nantong Zhiyun, Dalian people, the coach who has coaching experience in the Chinese Super League, Xie Hui meets the criteria for Changchun Yatai's selection of coaches: first of all, the national brand experience, Xie Hui has been selected for the Chinese team many times, although he failed to participate in the South Korea and Japan World Cup with the team, but he is the player with the most goals in the Asian qualifiers of that national team; 。
Xie Hui is also very satisfied with Changchun Yatai's first impression and is more familiar with the players. After all, he has brought many players when he was from Shanghai Port and Dalian. Although he has not yet led the team in training, his coaching team has been formed, and he is confident that he will help Changchun Yatai out of the predicament.
