After 7 years away, he returned to Shenhua in the summer of 2019, which made Yu Tao feel a lot of emotions. Recently, in an interview with Football News, Yu Tao finally mentioned the 7 years since he left Shenhua and his feelings after his return. Yu Tao said that he was happy to return to Shenhua from the bottom of his heart, but he also cherished the opportunity to return to Shenhua and cultivate more talents for the Shenhua first team.
In 2012, Yu Tao left Shenhua and successively played for Shenxin, Beijing Enterprises, Dalian, Guoqing, or performed in these teams, returning in the summer of 2019. For returning to Shenhua, Yu Tao is very happy and excited, "From leaving at the end of 2012 to returning in 2019, there was a gap of 7 years, and I became the coach and leader of the Shenhua reserve team again, and I was happy from the bottom of my heart." ”
Yu Tao said that the reason why he returned to Shenhua was because he loved his family and missed the team of Shenhua, "As a Shanghainese, I am still more family-loving. In order to survive, I chose to go outside, but whether it is Beijing Control or Dalian, I think it is difficult to play outside, but the experience outside also makes you more mature. I was able to return to Shenhua after a circle outside, and it is precisely because I have been out for so many years that it is not easy for me to return to Shenhua to cherish this opportunity even more. ”
From joining Shenhua in 2001 to leaving in 2012, Yu Tao stayed in Shenhua for 11 years, and yu Tao's feelings for Shenhua are naturally very deep, "I came to Shenhua before I was 20 years old, and professional players can have several 11 years. It was Shenhua who made me, and in Shenhua I became a member of the National Olympic Games and national football team, appeared 260 times for Shenhua, and was the holder of Shenhua's historical appearance record, which is a rare honor. Although the breakup is a bit unpleasant, but whether in Shenhua or after leaving, I have never said a word about Shenhua's bad, only I owe Shenhua, no Shenhua owes me. ”
Although he left Shenhua for 7 years, during this period, Yu Tao has always cared about Shenhua, "I was cultivated by Shenhua, and I have always been very concerned about Shenhua's achievements." In recent years, Chinese football has undergone great changes, no one has paid attention to it before, and now the attention is getting higher and higher, and the level of coaches and foreign aid is different from before. Times are changing, and we can't look at Shenhua's achievements and the development of things with our previous eyes. As a team leader, you have to learn how to deal with the relationship with big-name coaches and foreign aides, and there are still many invisible things to deal with, such as the cohesion of the team, to increase their ability and discover through learning and charging. ”
Speaking of the requirements of the leadership after returning to Shenhua, Yu Tao used 14 words, "Knowing the world and not being sophisticated, the calendar is smooth and naïve!" However, Yu Tao revealed that back at Shenhua, the leadership only let them go, giving them full trust, from players to coaches, there must be a process of charging and learning.
After leaving 7 years and returning to Shenhua, Yu Tao felt that the burden on his body was heavier, "My identity and role, this return have changed, I have become a team leader and coach, and my responsibility is greater." While doing a good job, we must cultivate more talents for the Shenhua first team. I am now strict with myself, I think this way, in order to lead a good team, you can not be strict with others, lenient with yourself, this is very important. ”
Shenhua has promoted a lot of 99/00 age group players to the first team in recent seasons, and Yu Tao also talked about the difference between the two generations, "I have never treated small players as children, to treat them as adults, we need to treat them equally. When I first arrived at the reserve team, I told them that there was a reason to work together, and we should respect and understand each other. Management is an art, simple and rough management has become obsolete, as a good manager, a level of manager, you should turn bad things into good things. ”
From the player to the coach, although it has been half a year since he returned to Shenhua, Yu Tao said that he is still continuing to learn and ask for advice from experienced old coaches, "Last year we won the championship of the Youth Super League U19B, and the reserve team also won the second best result. If you want to continue to maintain such results, the pressure will be greater, and the responsibility on your shoulders will be heavier. Although there is no hard indicator of performance, we have the responsibility of developing better players for the team and sending more players to the first team. ”
