November 8, Northwest Lookout interview, Salvador on the Guangzhou team relegation journey in the Central A full of bravado, he firmly believe that the full Chinese class of the Guangzhou team is expected to exceed the opponent in three years.
So how did you change the mindset of the players after taking over the team?
In the world of competitive sports, clubs have high and low fortunes. But as a player, your social status is closely tied to your income. Once you perform well and your team wins, a virtuous cycle is created and your value is recognized by the outside world, both on a competitive and financial level, and you will have the opportunity to get what you want. I know that right now your salaries are not high and there are no bonuses at the club, but as I said before, each of you needs to prove your worth.
Comments on the young players on the team
Xu Bin, who is only 19 years old but has comprehensive skills, is one of my biggest surprises. He is a typical hexagonal warrior who plays with great efficiency, and I am pleased with his hustle and sacrifice. He is now a model of both strength and attitude. Captains Hou Yu and Liao Jintao have done a great job in balancing the offense and defense, playing a key role in coordinating and balancing the whole team. 18-year-old Yang Hao, with his outstanding speed and breakthrough ability, is always able to create one-on-one opportunities. Such a player is rare, he deserves to occupy the starting position.
Criticism of certain players
Some people always think they are good, that they are better than their teammates, that they are wrists and stars and should be the absolute centerpiece, not a substitute. If they can't change this mentality, then their development and advancement will be limited.
Central League coaching experience
Chinese first division teams generally rely on foreign aiders to score goals. Whether it's defense or offense, teams rely heavily on foreigners. Guangzhou's All China Class is trying to find ways to limit the foreigners every week, and although we create numerous chances, we are often unable to deal a fatal blow to our opponents. It is difficult for other teams to gain a foothold in the Central League with such a young All China Class and complete relegation, which indirectly proves that Evergrande Soccer School has really cultivated outstanding players.
Talk about a strange phenomenon in the Central League
Once we concede first in a match, the opponents start to stall as if we don't want to play anymore. And while extra time is often bold in top tournaments such as the World Cup and the English Premier League, where 10 minutes of extra time is normal if there are too many stoppages in the game, this is not the case in the Chinese A-League.
All-Chinese Classes to Surpass Super League is Not Unattainable
I expect it will take three years at the earliest to fight for the team with these players. Give me five years and you will witness many incredible things. Players from the Evergrande Soccer Schools are even expected to recreate Guangzhou's past glory days if we are patient enough. We have to prove through this process that China has a lot of potential and talented players.
Vacation Plan
After the vacation, I will not rest. I will travel to Kunming to watch the U19 final, observe all the players at the Evergrande Soccer School and keep adding great prospects to the team.
