After the 12th round of the Chinese Super League, there were two news that attracted people's attention: Wang Shengchao of the Shanghai Harbour Team ushered in the milestone of his 300th Chinese Super League game, and after the game, his mentor Xu Genbao called on him to come to Chongming to take over after retirement. On the other hand, Li Weifeng, the former captain of the national football team and an old friend of Shenhua fans, voluntarily resigned from the management of Henan Club, attracting heated discussion. Behind the two pieces of news, there is a question worth thinking about: what kind of career planning should players make after retirement?
Competitive sports is a bowl of "youth rice". Many people have heard this sentence. It is also because of the characteristics of the profession that many players in highly commercialized projects have higher requirements for salary. After all, their career has only been these years, and everyone hopes to have a stable environment after retirement, without worrying about their livelihood. For football players, being a coach or doing youth training has become the first choice for many retired players.
The professional player transformation coach has many advantages, such as better understanding of the players' ideas and clearer requirements for technical details. However, for those players who spent most of their first half of their lives on the football field, it takes time to learn how to deal with the relationship with the club's top management and fans, and how to deal with the sharp questions from the media. In addition, Chinese clubs prefer to employ foreign teachers, It is not easy to gain a firm foothold in domestic clubs, especially in the coaching and management positions of Chinese Super League clubs. Look at Li Weifeng after class and Zhao Junzhe, who was complained about by Cangzhou fans. Maybe players like Yu Genwei who are "city heroes" will lead the team more smoothly.
No matter in the past or in the present, Shenhua and Haigang teams have a lot of prestige and fame enough to serve as famous coaches. Mao Yijun, the leader of Shenhua Team, Li Shuai, the goalie coach, Zheng Kewei, the assistant coach, and Fan Zhiyi, Xie Hui, members of the 1995 champion team are all typical. Some of them are active in the coaching seat of the Chinese Super League, and some of them have never lost their enthusiasm for coaching although they have temporarily left. Yu Hai, the former meritorious captain of the Port Team, is now serving as the assistant coach of the youth team of the club, and is gradually accumulating coaching experience. In the future, they are in the golden age of coaching, and have a full opportunity to do more for their beloved team.
Among the active players, Yu Hanchao and Cao Yunding, who played an outstanding role in the first battle of Qingdao Manatee and were nicknamed Shenhua "Xuanming Erlao" by fans, can also be an important force in the future Shenhua coaching team. Follow the two who have experienced trials and hardships and performed well in many big scenes. If they can pass on their experience to "Little Shenhua", It may leave a lot of valuable wealth to the club. The "Chongming Phase I" of the seaport team has entered the later stage of their career, and the future is a problem they must think about. The familiarity with the team and the emotional foundation accumulated over the years make taking up the coaching staff one of the important choices. From this point of view, in a few years, more familiar faces of Shencheng fans may appear on the coaches of Shenhua and Haigang.
Pep Guardiola, the champion coach of the English Premier League, Alonso, the gold medal coach of the German Bundesliga, Enrique, the coach of the French champions, and Inzaghi, the "champion" of the Italian champions... The champions of the five major European leagues this season are almost won by the Mesozoic coaches who are players. Although it is difficult for the CSL to create its own Alonso and Inzaghi at the moment, as long as they are willing to try and dare to take the most difficult first step, there will always be more possibilities in the future.
