Why did the Chinese Super League become interested in Portuguese coaches?
Things are changing. In recent years, the trend of selecting coaches among Chinese Super League teams has changed from "Korean wave" to "Italian style", and then to advocating German coaches last season. This season has not yet started, but the strong west wind has already made people feel that the Chinese boss is beginning to be keen on the Portuguese coach.
From Quanjian’s Paulo Sosa, to Chongqing’s Paulo Bento, and then to Pereira who recently signed for Hong Kong, the gathering of the three Portuguese players will become a highlight of the Chinese Super League next season. Quanjian's Sosa and Chongqing's Bento are both members of Portugal's golden generation. However, Sosa is elegant and elegant when playing football, while Bento is steady and fierce, so their personal personalities and team leadership are also different. But both of them have one thing in common, that is, when they came, they both emphasized that they could not only lead the first team well, but also make achievements in the youth training. Under the current background that Chinese Super League players are more expensive than foreigners, this undoubtedly makes the boss very happy.
Looking at the overall environment of the Chinese Super League, not only the threshold for foreign players is increasing day by day, but also the threshold for head coaches. In the past, Korean coaches could still find positions in small and medium-sized teams. Nowadays, coaches have been upgraded. Head coaches from developed countries in football, especially Western Europe, are the most popular. In addition, Portugal finally won the last European Cup. Naturally, Portuguese players and coaches Prices in the football market are also rising.
In addition, Portugal is famous for producing young coaches in recent years, and the current Chinese Super League has become more and more rational in spending money. When the club selects a coach, it no longer blindly pursues fame, but rather the ability reflected in previous experience and whether it matches the team's tactical style of play. It would be a bonus if the coach is young and strong. Based on these factors, the Portuguese coach wins again.
Of course, it was not impulsive that the Chinese Super League bosses gathered together to choose the Portuguese as their coach. But it was endorsed by seniors like Pacheco and Villas-Boas before. Needless to say, Villas-Boas did not win the championship and was dismissed, but his coaching level was still recognized by Shanghai. As for Pacheco, he brought Guoan, who was not optimistic, to the runner-up position. It is said that Guoan did not set a specific goal for Lao Pacheco at that time, which actually inspired the Portuguese. Although Pacheco later dismissed get out of class midway when coaching TEDA, when the main lineup changed 8 people at the beginning of the season, he took the initiative to inform the club to set the goal of being in the top six, and even compete for an AFC Champions League qualification.
Strong ability, young, ambitious, and like to train young people. This is the reason why the west wind is blowing strongly in the Chinese Super League. Of course, the Portuguese’s fiery temper is a major hidden danger for them to coach the Chinese Super League team. In the new season , it still needs to be observed for a period of time before making a conclusion.
