Reporter Lu Mi reported that after Henan Jianye suffered a five-round winless in the league recently, the club finally focused its work on the preparation of the second stage of the league. At a time when the teams around him are "thinking about change" in different ways to get out of the quagmire, Jianye is firmly in the position of deputy squad leader, watching the gap between himself and other opponents getting bigger and bigger.
In the announcement of the resignation of former manager Wang Baoshan, the club said that it would lead the team through the season in the form of a coaching staff this year, but this decision obviously underestimated the strong strength of the opponents in Group A and the degree of desire of fans for victory. After 9 rounds of league games, the team only had one victory, and it was time for Jianye to really find a head coach.
Wang Baoshan resigned from the Jianye Club for some reason in early July, and the two sides broke up, indicating that it was really time to continue working together. Soon, the club set up a coaching team headed by Yang Ji, which included two local coaches from the Jianye Club echelon and foreign teachers in the previous team. At the expedition conference shortly after the change of coach, "Qingzheng Jianye" became the theme of the new season of the team's conquest of the Chinese Super League.
Jianye has a stable playing style and personnel system, even if it is divided into A group with strong teams, it is reasonable to say that the results should not be too bad. However, the team suffered a series of blows in the opening stages, both personnel injuries and setbacks in the game. This makes Yang Ji, the head coaching team who was originally good at youth training coaching and has not been active in the first team for a long time, also carry a lot of pressure on his body.
In fact, in the jianye team's unsuccessful stage, the club level wants to make some adjustments, this adjustment is two aspects: on the one hand, it is to usher in a new person in the management, and the other adjustment is to find a legitimate head coach for the first team in the future. At the management level, after nearly two months of inspection, Chen Ming, former vice president of Chongqing Contemporary Club, finally took up his official position in Jianye this month.
Jianye Club also set up a new department, called the International Department, to expand overseas careers in the field of football. Chen Ming is the vice president personally interviewed and appointed by Chairman Hu Baosen, and his management ability has long been recognized by Hu Baosen, and Chen Ming also gave his own opinions and resources on the matter of finding a head coach for Jianye.
Since Jianye gave up letting the coaching staff lead the team all the time, there have been new coaching candidates being pushed to the club. Among them was Cruyff Jr., but at that time, Shenzu gave Xiao Ke a higher offer, and soon resolved the termination dispute between his team and the Ecuadorian national team, so that Jianye and Xiao Ke had not yet entered substantive contact, and Xiao Ke was "intercepted". Subsequently, there were also old acquaintances of the Chinese Super League such as Li Zhangsu who were recommended to come in, but they could not get into the eyes of the law.
Among the coaches who have been recommended, the closest to Jianye is Javier Pereira Jr., who led the team in Chongqing in the 2019 season. Xiao Ke took over Chongqing Contemporary at the end of the 2018 season, and the first assistant coach at that time was not Javier, but Albert. In the 2019 season, Albert did not remain in the team of Xiaoke for some reason, so Javier replaced him as the first assistant coach of Xiaoke.
The Spaniard, born in 1966, has basically been an assistant coach throughout his coaching career and has no experience in leading the team independently. For a full season in charge of Chongqing, he has been Cruyff Jr.'s "military master".
In daily training, although Javier's job is mainly responsible for the special training of forwards and forwards, in the technical and tactical design, he will also give Cruyff Jr. a lot of advice, basically a more all-round assistant coach.
It is understood that Javier is usually more serious, which is related to his very professional treatment of work, he is only responsible for Cruyff Jr., and everything at work will be communicated and reported to him.
Cruyff Jr. led most of his team to the Ecuadorian national team after ending his job in Chongqing at the end of last year, but Javier did not accompany him, choosing instead to return to Europe. Xiao Ke returned to the Chinese Super League to coach Shenzhen Kaisa, and he did not see Javier in his team. Jock said Javier is still in Europe.
If Jianye finalizes Javier as the head coach, it will undoubtedly be preparing for the knockout round of the second stage of the league. Javier has no experience in leading the team independently, which may make Jianye bear certain risks, but the coach's leadership level and business ability have been widely recognized in the Chongqing Contemporary team last year, and his strict work style and similar technical and tactical style to Xiao ke may inject new elements into Jianye.
