Yu Dabao's salary level has undoubtedly slipped significantly after he made the transition from the pitch to the coaching box, however, this has not shaken his inner peace. After a decade-long journey through thick and thin, he has come to regard Beijing Guoan as the foundation of his career, despite the fact that Qingdao is his hometown in Shandong Province. Therefore, he is happy to make such a personal sacrifice for the team's prosperity, as long as it helps Beijing Guoan to reach a higher peak.
Yu Dabao did not choose to retire, nor did he transfer to other Chinese Super League or Chinese First Division teams to continue his career, but bravely chose the road of coaching. This may be a wise choice in his career, especially for the man who is regarded as the lucky star of the national soccer team. We are confident that Yu's decision will be met with eager anticipation and good wishes from the players, including Zhang Yuning. We look forward to even greater achievements in his new role and hope that he continues to be passionate about soccer.
