With El Salvador's relegation mission in Guangzhou's Central League coming to a successful conclusion, he gave an in-depth interview to our media, talking about the team's current situation, its future blueprint and his coaching career in the Central League. The well-known coach from South America confidently said that Guangzhou team is expected to surpass itself within three years.
Talking about the team's young generation of players, Salvador gave high praise. In particular, he was impressed by the performance of 19-year-old Xu Bin. He commented, "Xu Bin is undoubtedly the most surprising member of the team. His skills are incredibly versatile. He is like a multi-faceted warrior. He is efficient and bold on the field and I am deeply satisfied with his hustle and sacrifice." However, he also pointed out that the mentality of some of the players in the team needs to be adjusted, as they are too arrogant and consider themselves indispensable, unwilling to accept the role of substitutes. Salvador emphasized, "If they fail to change their mentality, the team's progress and development will be limited.
Looking back on his coaching experience in the First Division, Salvador mentioned a puzzling phenomenon. That is, whenever Guangzhou took the lead in a match, the opponents adopted delaying tactics as if they did not want to continue the competition. This phenomenon is common in the First Division, and Salvador is perplexed by it. He believes that the game should be a fair competition, but some teams choose to play negatively when they are behind, which is not beneficial to the healthy development of the league.
Apparently, the "monster" that Salvador refers to has a long history in Chinese soccer, with a similar situation in the Chinese Super League, and even more so in the First Division, where there are fewer foreign players. This phenomenon not only affects the spectacle of the game, but also raises questions about the fairness of the league for Salvador and other coaches.
Despite the many challenges, Salvador still has strong confidence in the future of the Guangzhou team. He said that as long as the players adjust their mentality and train hard, the team is expected to surpass its goal in three years. "I firmly believe in our potential and I believe the club will give us full support. As long as we work together, Guangzhou will be able to return to the Chinese Super League stage." Salvador was firm in his tone.
To summarize, Salvador saw both the great potential of the young players in Guangzhou's relegation and felt the plague of delaying tactics in the game. In the face of future challenges, he is full of confidence, believe in the joint efforts of all staff, Guangzhou will soon rise again. At the same time, for the delaying phenomenon in the Central League, it is also hoped that the relevant departments can pay attention to it and effectively strengthen the management, so that the league will be more fair and exciting.
