regarding zhao xuri's neck-choking incident, rumours said he would be fired/expelled from team china; however, it seems he will return to the team for the jordan friendly. it is not clear if he will play, but it was mentioned that the jordan game will be based on younger players. lee jang-soo again bitched at camacho: "don't blindly promote chinese football if you don't know how to do so".
Huang Bowen banned for four matches AFC announces Huang will be banned for four matches for his red-card foul during the Singapore game. Huang will miss the Jordan game and three games of Asian Cup qualifiers.
Let's be honest here, is there a person who would be better than Lee as manager of China? There are few people in China (including Chinese) who can match his success at managing Chinese players or who have dealt with so many top players at the club level. If he was anything other than Korean, he would have long since been the manager of the national team. His ethnicity is what got him fired at Guoan (if you believe the rumors) and it's why he'll never get hired as NT coach, which is really regrettable...
Lee Jang Soo as NT coach would be a dream come true in my eyes. A "foreigner" who would actually know something about Chinese football and I think could help steer us in the right direction. ********ing CFA.
Camacho announced that Feng Xiaoting and Pang Xinli excluded from the Jordan game. Feng has an injury (when the hell does this guy play without injury for national team lol ?) and Pang Xinli has been released (probably because the club don't want him to get injured). Camacho also replied to Lee Jang-soo's bitching: Lee Jang-soo during the Super Cup: "Camacho called up players and doesn't care about the club's perspective, now Camacho is causing a lose-lose situation for the national team and club". Camacho: "“我不知道,我们国家队是按照议程在安排的。我想说的是我们是国家队,代表的是中国。他们是广州队,代表的是广州." "I don't know, Team China's arrangement is followed by a schedule. I want to say is our national team represents China. They are the Guangzhou team, and they (only) represent Guangzhou".
you know that is a good question. since camacho took over, i don't even know if he is bringing any good things to the team or not. it has been a year, i haven't seen a "strong improvement" or "specific advantage" he brought for the team. yes, camacho might know alot of european tactics that might be useful for team china, but with the translator issues and etc, how "much" did camacho really injected into the team? i am rather indifferent to him, with the next confirmed friendly after jordan coming in june, i am not sure what camacho "can" do to improve this team.
That's a good point, with such little time with the players, he's not really able to make a big impact, but at the same time, I just feel so underimpressed. He's looking like part of a really long line of mediocre to bad hires, especially compared to the quality of coaches in the CSL right now.
China will beat Jordan tomorrow without problems . Jordan have some missing players at the back where they will suffer from China speedy players .
