Chen Xuyuan reaches the edge of get out of class! Three new candidates for the chairman of the Football Association have emerged, including former Guoan stars

Losing this game not only caused the national football team to lose hope of entering the World Cup in Qatar, but also caused many fans to lose their last confidence in the Chinese men's football team.

Although with the development of the times, the level of the Chinese men's football team is getting worse and worse, the current national team is not so bad that it lost to the Vietnamese team. After all, we now have three naturalized players, and several local players such as Wu Lei, Wu Xi, and Zhang Yuning are also among the best in Asia.

It can be said that the Chinese men's football team has ended up in such a situation, to a large extent, it is the result of the Football Association's messing around, and Chen Xuyuan, as the chairman of the Football Association, is definitely to blame.

After Chen Xuyuan took office, the Chinese Football Association launched a series of reform measures, which completely changed the trend of the Chinese Super League. The forced promotion of the club's gender-neutral policy became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese Super League last season entered an unprecedented winter period. Many clubs have experienced salary arrears to varying degrees, and several clubs such as Guangzhou Team, Guangzhou City, Hebei Team, and Chongqing Team are also on the verge of dissolution.

In order to make way for the national football team’s World Cup preliminaries, last season’s Chinese Super League schedule was also cut into pieces. Such a poor internal and external environment in the league also directly affected the performance of the national football team in the World Cup preliminaries.

It can be said that Chen Xuyuan, who is in charge of the Chinese men's football team, must bear the unshirkable responsibility for the Chinese team's poor performance in the World Cup preliminaries. Nowadays, the State Sports General Administration has begun to fully intervene in the management of the national football team. After the national football team's historic loss to the Vietnamese team, Chen Xuyuan's position as chairman of the Football Association has also become precarious.

If Chen Xuyuan is dismissed, who will be the suitable candidate for the new chairman of the Chinese Football Association? Judging from the current situation, there are 3 people in one ***.

The first is the national football star Zhu Guanghu. Zhu Guanghu, who is also from Shanghai, is one of the oldest footballers who is still active in Chinese football.

This former famous A-level coach once led the Shenzhen team, which suffered from serious wage arrears, to win the championship in the first year of the Chinese Super League. His ability to coach and coordinate the team is evident. And just a few months later, he was appointed as the national football coach by the General Administration of Sports, which is enough to prove that his ability has been recognized by the top management.

Although Zhu Guanghu’s performance in coaching the national team is not particularly ideal, looking at it from now on, the national football team he leads is not as bad as it is now.

Zhu Guanghu, who left the national football team, has served as head coach and club executive in many Chinese Super League and Chinese League One teams. In 2017, 68-year-old Zhu Guanghu also served as chairman of the Shanghai Football Association. After retirement, Zhu Guanghu continued to serve as a technical consultant in Shanghai and the National Football Team.

It can be said that Zhu Guanghu, who has been rooted in Chinese football for many years, understands not only the techniques, tactics and employment of football, but also the management of football. Compared with some leaders who have never been engaged in football business, he is more suitable to hold the position of chairman of the Football Association.

The second place is Gao Hongbo. Similar to Zhu Guanghu’s experience, this famous Guoan player in the A-A era led the Changchun Yatai team to win the Chinese Super League championship after retiring and becoming a coach. He also served as the national team coach twice.

Moreover, Gao Hongbo's performance in coaching the national football team is even more outstanding. He once defeated South Korea 3-0, sweeping away the haze of the national football team's "invincibility against South Korea". Gao Hongbo's dismissal from the national football team was not due to the performance of the national football team, but the result of internal struggles within the Football Association.

After leaving the national football team, Gao Hongbo coached the Chinese League One team Beijing Sports University and was elected vice chairman of the Beijing Football Association in 2017. In 2019, Gao Hongbo began to serve as vice chairman of the Football Association, mainly responsible for the youth training of the national football team.

Compared with Zhu Guanghu, 56-year-old Gao Hongbo is more youthful and powerful, and his understanding of Chinese football is no worse than Zhu Guanghu. His rich coaching experience and experience in official circles undoubtedly make Gao Hongbo the most suitable candidate for the new Football Association Chairman.

The last one is Sun Wen, a famous Chinese women’s football player. Although Sun Wen has never coached the national team, as the number one star of the Chinese women’s football team in the past, her achievements in world football are more than Both Zhu Guanghu and Gao Hongbo are taller.

Sun Wen, who retired in 2006, also joined the Shanghai Football Association. In the past 10 years, she has held many important positions in the Shanghai Football Association.

Like Gao Hongbo, Sun Wen also joined the Chinese Football Association in 2019, serving as vice president and taking charge of women's football work. After the Chinese women's football team failed in the Olympics, Sun Wen recommended Shui Qingxia as the new women's football coach, which also became the key to the Chinese women's football team defeating Vietnam and Japan in the Asian Cup and reaching the final.

Compared with male leaders, Sun Wen's football management work is less worldly and more delicate than female managers. From this point of view, the General Administration of Sports can also consider letting Sun Wen serve as the chairman of the Football Association. Managing the Football Association from a female perspective may bring some unexpected surprises to Chinese football.

The above-mentioned three candidates for the new chairman of the Football Association understand football better than Chen Xuyuan from all aspects, and they all have rich management experience. Therefore, it will not be a surprise for any of them to be elected as the chairman of the Football Association. As for how the General Administration of Sports will make the choice, let us wait and see...
