Come on, fans, let's put down the peanuts in our hands and stop the war of words, because there is big news to announce! Although many people are hoping that Chen Wanting can take over as the new commander of the Chinese women's football team, the development of things is always full of surprises (or frightens for some): it is not Chen Wanting, but a personable 50-year-old Australian handsome, Milicic, who is about to enter the final approval stage!
Don't rush into comments, let's review the background first. Since the end of Shui Qingxia's contract, there has been a heated discussion about who will take over. Although Coach Shui once led our female players to dominate the Asian Cup, but later in the World Cup and Olympic Qualifying Tournaments, our performance can be described as a bit "more than enough and not enough". As a result, Director Shui failed to get a new contract, which also added a lot of drama to the choice of the new coach.
During this period, the women's football team briefly went to the United States to warm up, and was temporarily led by the U20 Wang Jun. However, the Chinese Football Association did not stop, they set their sights on a wider sky and conducted a huge global audition. Finally, after more than two months of intense and exciting selection, Milicic, the former head coach of the Australian women's football team, has jumped out of the encirclement and is about to complete the final official approval.
But why him? This question is worth talking about. Milicic not only has a wealth of international experience, but also led the Australian women's football team to the round of 16 at the Tokyo Olympics. His coaching style focuses on attacking and teamwork, which may be the fresh blood that the Chinese women's football team needs. Despite this, there are still many voices asking: Can this foreign coach, who only has one year of national team coaching experience, really solve the many problems faced by the Chinese women's football team?
And for those supporters of Chen Wanting, the decision is undoubtedly a disappointment. After all, Chen Wanting not only proved her coaching ability in the Asian Junior Championship, but also knows the internal situation and player characteristics of the Chinese women's football team. The tacit understanding and understanding between her and the players is unmatched by any outside coach.
In the end, faced with such a choice, the reaction of fans was a mixture of anticipation and doubt. On the one hand, Milicic's international vision and experience should not be underestimated; On the other hand, it remains to be seen whether he can quickly integrate and truly unleash the potential of the Chinese women's football team.
Now, I want to ask you a question: do you think Milicic's takeover of the Chinese women's football team can bring the spring we are looking forward to? Or would you prefer to see Chen Wanting as the new handsome? Leave your thoughts in the comments section.
