In today's Chinese football, there are many people who have achieved quite outstanding results in the player era, and after retiring, they have become the team's head coach and coaching achievements.
At present, the coach of the Chinese men's football team Li Tie is a more typical example, the player era Li Tie has been receiving professional football training in Brazil for many years, and after playing famous in Liaozu, he has played for the Premier League team Everton for many seasons. After retiring, Li Tie first started as an assistant coach of Evergrande, and a few years later he became the coach of Hebei Huaxia Happiness.
After the young Li Tie joined the Hebei team, he quickly led the team to successfully rush to the top and achieved quite excellent results in the league. After leaving Hebei, Li Tie joined the Chinese League One team Wuhan Zhuoer. As in Hebei, Li Tie led the team to success shortly after joining Wuhan, and in the first season after Wuhan returned to the Chinese Super League, he led the team to achieve a good result of sixth in the league.
Because of the success achieved in coaching Hebei and Wuhan teams, Li Tie was also favored by the Chinese Football Association, and after the national football coach Lippi announced his resignation, Li Tie defeated Li Xiaopeng and Wang Baoshan through competition and became the latest national football coach.
Although the performance of the Chinese team coached by Li Tie in the World Preliminary Round of 12 is unsatisfactory, it has to be said that Li Tie is now the best football coach of the same age group in China. For chinese football now, only when there are more outstanding young local coaches like Li Tie can we see hope in the future.
Recently, there has indeed been a young coach in domestic football who is very similar to Li Tie's experience, he is the 36-year-old former national football talent striker Chen Tao.
Veteran fans know that when he was young, Chen Tao was once one of the most talented players in China. Chen Tao, who is highly skilled, can play a number of midfield positions from forward to forward. Chen Tao, who debuted in Jinde, Shenyang. At the age of 19, he became the captain of Kinder, which also set a record for the youngest team captain in the Chinese Super League at that time. Because of his outstanding performance in the league, Chen Tao, who was less than 20 years old, was already called up to the national team by the then coach Ali Han.
Although he did not get a chance to play in the national team at that time, Chen Tao was an absolute thigh player in the national youth team. In the 2005 World Youth Championship against the German national youth team, Chen Tao scored twice, becoming the most eye-catching player in this game, and was favored by many high-level Clubs in Europe.
However, for various reasons, Chen Tao did not get the opportunity to go abroad to study abroad. After leaving Shenyang Jinde, Chen Tao played for Shanghai Shenhua, Tianjin Teda and Dalian Albion, the predecessor of Dalian Renren, and many other Chinese Super League teams. In 2016, Chen Tao joined Theahusian Side Annapur as a free player. In May last year, Chen Tao, 35, announced his retirement.
After retiring, Chen Tao joined the newly promoted Chinese Super League local team Shenzhen Kaisa and became the head coach of the Shenzhen U16 youth team. Although as a head coach, Chen Tao is still very young, he has already led the team to achieve quite excellent results. At the recent National Youth Football Championship, the Shenzhen U16 youth team led by Chen Tao reached the final and defeated the U16 national junior team in the final to win the championship trophy of this tournament.
After only one year of joining the team, he was able to lead the team to win the championship of the highest level competition in the same age group in the country, which is enough to prove how strong Chen Tao's coaching ability really is. Chen Tao, who was very good at playing football with his brain when he was a player, instilled all his experience in playing football to the young players in the team. Today's Shenzhen U16 youth team, many players have quite good footwork, and the cooperation on the field is also quite skilled, and chen Tao's shadow when he played football can already be seen in terms of attack.
After leading the team to win the championship, the Shenzhen U16 youth team led by Chen Tao received more attention, and it is believed that in a few years, some of Chen Tao's disciples will be able to play in the Chinese Super League. At that time, Chen Tao is also likely to become a young manager of the Chinese Super League team. Here, we also hope that Chen Tao, who has become the head coach, can develop better and better, and can become the "next Li Tie" in Chinese football in the future.
