Let's talk about Slutsky, the coach with a magical brush, who not only broke new ground in the football world, but also turned a once unpopular goalkeeper into the core strength of Shanghai Shenhua. This is not the story of an oil seller, this is the modern legend of Slutsky and Bao Yaxiong!
Then again, when Slutsky took over Shenhua, who didn't underestimate him? Some even joked that his football philosophy may still be before liberation. But it turned out that Slutsky not only seized the opportunity to revive Shenhua, but also really surprised the fans. Under his leadership, Shenhua not only won 5 wins and 1 draw in the opening game, but also properly let the fans see the hope of the championship.
And about the uniqueness of Slutsky, we have to mention his ability to dig deep into the players. He looks at the players, never looks at fame, only at form. Such a strategy made Bao Yaxiong, who was originally in a sluggish state in Hebei Huaxia Happiness due to salary arrears, become Shenhua's goalkeeper. That's right, it's Bao Yaxiong, who is regarded as a late bloomer. Under Slutsky's tutelage, his performance simply refreshed the three views, and even had the call to enter the national football team, which was undoubtedly a coveted honor for him in the past.
Slutsky's ability makes one have to admire his vision and strategy. He not only redefined Bao Yaxiong's career, but also refreshed the entire Shenhua team. Under his magic, the Shenhua team seems to have found the long-lost team spirit and combat effectiveness. When Shenhua encountered difficulties in the game, Bao Yaxiong always stood up in time to resolve the crisis, and almost became the team's firefighting captain.
And the goalkeeper's transformation is not only reflected on the field. From an ordinary goalkeeper of the Chinese Super League relegation team, to becoming a key figure in the Shenhua team, to being a candidate selected by the national football team, Bao Yaxiong's every step confirms the cleverness of Slutsky's training and tactical arrangement.
In addition, Slutsky's flexibility in team management and tactical application was also an important factor in his recognition. His football philosophy and deep understanding of the game allowed him to make the right adjustments and decisions at key moments, which was the key to Shenhua's rebirth under him.
Slutsky's story shows us that even underrated players can make a career if they find the right people to tap into and use their potential.
