Xinhua News Agency, Nanning, March 25 (Reporter Wei Hua, Ma Bangjie) on the 25th, the Chinese men’s football team ended the journey of the 2019 China Cup with the result of two wars, when the reporter asked whether Cannavaro would continue to lead the team in the future after the game, the Italian gave the answer: Don’t worry about making a decision.
On the 15th, the Chinese Football Association announced that Guangzhou Evergrande coach Cannavaro would lead the Chinese men’s football team to the Chinese Cup. At the press conference before the start of the China Cup, Cannavaro emphasized that he was the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, and he could not give a clear answer to the question of whether he would lead the national team for a long time in the future. After losing to Uzbekistan at 0:1 on the 25th, Cannavaro still gave the same statement: “This matter is not in a hurry. There are many things that need to be discussed with the Football Association and the club. During this period of time leading the team to prepare for the China Cup, the leaders of the Football Association understood my requirements for the players, and I also expressed my own ideas. We had an appropriate communication, but we did not confirm anything, the head coach of the national team can not decide in one day.”
For his own wishes, Cannavaro said that if necessary, he would seriously consider the position of coach of the national team. “The head coach of the national team is under great pressure. Most of the time, you may be wrong no matter what you do. Of course, every national team is like this. The workload of the head coach of the national team is huge. Of course, it won’t scare me. I like this job very much, but there are many difficulties. The head coach of the Chinese team is very responsible, and I will seriously consider it, but if I can’t find a suitable cooperation model, I will continue to lead the Guangzhou Evergrande team.”
From the first training class on the 16th to the end of the 25th China Cup, Cannavaro spent 10 days with the players. He said that he had gained a lot in these days.
Cannavaro said: “This is a brand new experience and I personally gained a lot. Although this is not a complete national team, for example, Wu Lei is not here, the players who can come are still very cooperative with my work. Although a few days will not make the team change dramatically, I still got a lot of useful things, such as understanding the players and Asian opponents. Unfortunately, I lost both games, but anyway, I am very happy these 10 days.”
