Special correspondent Liu Zhun reports On the afternoon of May 7, Yatai began to prepare for the 12th round of competition with Henan team at home four days later according to the training plan. Before training, the club officially announced that head coach Xie Hui would leave class. As the 25th coach in the history of the Yatai team, Xie Hui's departure was due to poor coaching results, and the fuse was a 0-3 loss to the bottom-ranked Manatee away on the 5th.
On the afternoon of May 6, Yatai returned to Changchun from Qingdao, the team did not arrange training that day, the players rested after a quick meal at the base, and the base staff did not see Xie Hui and his coaching team. At this time, the outside world has spread information about "Xie Hui's resignation and Suarez's appointment" has spread on the Internet, and the club has not made any official response.
In fact, on the night of Yatai's 0-3 loss to Manatee, the senior management of the club responsible for supervising the game started the process of changing the coach in Qingdao and accepted Xie Hui's decision to resign.
During the May Day holiday, Yatai ushered in the third two-consecutive visit of the season, and the opponents were Zhejiang and Manatee. From the point of view of strength, the opponent of the third two-game away is strong and weak, and Yatai has a chance to fight for 3 points. On May 1, when Yatai visited Hangzhou, Rosiic and Beric were hidden in the first half, in Xie Hui's words, "The schedule is intensive, and the rotation is for more critical games." As a result, Yatai's substitute lineup lost 2-4 to Zhejiang without any suspense. Three days later, Yatai moved to Qingdao, and Xie Hui also ushered in the most critical game, of course, a game related to his own fate.
Yatai's away battle against Manatee is a battle at the bottom of the list that no one can afford to lose. For this reason, Yatai's high-level also rushed to Qingdao to supervise the war. After the game began, Xie Hui found that only he was ready to take all three points, and his players lacked the belief that they would win. Throughout the game, the Yatai players handled the ball in a sloppy and casual way, fighting separately. When the back Wang Yu was unable to play in the second half due to injury, Xie Hui actually replaced the central defender Wang Yaopeng and let the right back Hemiti play a cameo in the back, this change of formation immediately made Yatai lose the rhythm of attack and defense, and it was logical that the home team scored 3 goals.
After the game, Xie Hui admitted: "We lost control of the midfield, the strikers and the back line were disconnected, and the game lacked spirit. After conceding the goal, the momentum of the whole team went down, and hopefully we can get that spirit back when we go back to home. "In the first half, we played well, but in the second half, there may have been a change of formation, and the players appeared in unfamiliar positions, which eventually led to the trend of the game on the home side, which is unfortunate." ”
Defeated Qingdao, Yatai suffered three consecutive defeats, four rounds without a win, ranking at the bottom of the list, this result equaled the worst start in team history (in the first 11 rounds of the 2013 season, Yatai 4 draws and 7 losses, ranking at the bottom), and the relegation situation is in jeopardy. Taking history as a mirror, Yatai has the possibility of stopping losses by changing the coach in time. After all, after the first 11 rounds, there are as many as 8 teams in the relegation zone, and Yatai still has a chance to go ashore.
In the first 1/3 of this season, Yatai is not strong when it is strong, and it is even weaker when it is weak, and it has long lost the temperament of the year - not only the positional battle is slow and chaotic, but also the fast counter has no speed, the attack and defense are seriously disjointed, and the performance does not look like a Chinese Super League team at all. And Xie Hui's "1 win, 2 draws, 8 losses at the bottom" results could not satisfy the club and fans, and the dismissal of class was inevitable - whether Xie Hui resigned or terminated the contract was just a statement.
A change of coach is like a change of knife. Before the rumored Suarez coaching team arrives, Yatai is very likely to use its own home-trained local coaches to fight the fire and face the next two rounds. At present, there are 3 coaches with professional-level coaching certificates in the Yatai team, and 1 coach with the highest level of L2 certification for physical coaching.
