Full text of Han Qiaosheng's comments:

Are you optimistic about Shao Jiayi becoming the national football coach? I agree with both hands. No matter what, new attempts must be new expectations! My reasons are:

First, if you look at Shao Jiayi's strategic practice of coaching the Qingdao West Coast Team, you will find that he takes "pressure plus conversion" as the core, uses the Aziz fulcrum to connect the wing offensive, implements modern elements such as high-position pressing and fulcrum support, and even uses AI analysis and data-based methods to optimize the team's strategy and polish the details. Although he is a local coach, he has experience playing in the five major European leagues, has studied abroad and has seen the world, and his understanding of modern strategies is relatively accurate.

Second, the biggest controversy about the national team coach is the dispute between local coach and foreign coach. Then Chinese football has fallen behind for so many years. Except for Wu Lei, none of our players can compete in the five major leagues. How much does the foreign coach know about Chinese football? It’s not like we haven’t used foreign coaches who understand Chinese football. For example, Ivan, who once coached the Shandong Luneng team, once led the Chinese team to the top 18. However, during the top 18, every substitution made by Ivan seemed to be half a beat. This is exactly a basic manifestation that the foreign coach does not know much about the physical condition of Chinese football and the current situation of Chinese football. If you don’t understand, it will take a longer work cycle to adapt. How long can Chinese football wait? I think that if we can’t find a foreign coach who is really suitable for us, we should use our local coaches who are young and have the ability to study and are energetic.

The third most important point is that Shao Jiayi is not another local coach. He is one of the heroes who helped Chinese football reach the World Cup in South Korea and Japan in 2002. If the foreign coach does not perform well in leading the team, the worst he can do is leave, but Shao Jiayi's roots are in China. This sense of responsibility and mission will prompt him to put more diligence and more emotion into the construction of the national team than other coaches. Therefore, I think that Shao Jiayi coaching the national football team is the best solution for Chinese football at the moment. What do you think?
