In the 9th round of the Chinese Super League, Changchun Yatai drew 1-1 at home with Shenzhen Xinpeng City. The result of the draw made the home team in deep relegation dilemma worse! In this way, after 9 rounds, Changchun Yatai accumulated 5 points with 1 win, 2 draws and 6 losses, and continued to rank at the bottom of the standings, and the relegation situation was precarious!
In order to reverse the team's decline, Changchun Yatai made adjustments after 6 rounds, that is, announced that head coach Chen Yang would step down and former international player Xie Hui would take over as the team's coach. However, Coach Xie, who led Dalian to relegation last season, is obviously not yet in charge of coaching. After he took office, he led the team to play 3 games, with 2 draws and 1 loss, and did not taste victory. This is undoubtedly a disastrous performance for the Changchun Yatai team, which is currently at the bottom of the ranking and eager to grab points in the league.
After Xie Hui took office, he did not show the ability to change the commander such as changing the knife and plug and play. On the contrary, the team's sluggish performance continued. Frankly speaking, as predicted by the outside world, with the personnel of Changchun Yatai team and the club's years of deep cultivation in Chinese football, the team's performance can at least reach the level of the midstream team of the Chinese Super League.
But contrary to expectations, Xie Hui not only did not bring positive adjustments to the team after taking office, but continued to play in a messy manner at both offensive and defensive ends. In addition to the 0-0 draw away from the former Chinese Super League champion Wuhan Three Towns on his debut in office, it was quite satisfying. But then two consecutive home games, lost 0-1 to Meizhou Hakka, and was forced to draw 1-1 by the promoted horse Shenzhen Xinpeng City. In the face of two important relegation opponents with average strength, Changchun Yatai did not show the idea of trying to get rid of the relegation dilemma in the future. From pressing to dodging, what kind of setbacks has Xie Hui's coaching career experienced?
What is the level of coaching of the 49-year-old local young marshal Xie Hui? The offensive football tactic of "pressing and playing" that he once advocated when he was coaching Dalian people was eye-catching, and can even be compared with the "rushing and encircling" tactics that were all the rage when his master Xu Genbao was coaching Shenhua, which can be called a model of the efforts made by local coaches in tactical innovation.
It is worth mentioning that when Xie Hui was coaching Dalian Renren, he was limited by the club's recruitment restrictions, and the lack of depth of the team's personnel team made it difficult for him to persist in his "pressing and playing" offensive football for a long time. Xie Hui's fate of coaching Dalian people from rushing to the middle of the Chinese Super League to final relegation last season reflects his helplessness when he is full of ambition but unable to implement it.
Now in Changchun Yatai, the team has 5 foreign aid configurations, and also includes international-level local players such as Tan Long and Wang Jinxian to help. With the gradual familiarization with the team's personnel situation, I believe that in the near future, Xie Hui will let the "pressure play" come out again. If this veteran Chinese Super League team can't improve its combat effectiveness in the short term, then there is really not much time left for Xie Hui!
