Wang Yudong undoubtedly has the standard of studying abroad

Not much has changed compared to when I was there. Just over a year, the strength levels of each team are still quite close. There are indeed four teams that stand out now, which is not obvious in my first time. Each team has its own advantages and disadvantages, but as always, a team that can maintain stable performance and bear the pressure of winning every week will eventually win the championship.

Speaking of Zhejiang team, during my coaching period, the team performed beyond expectations: they were third in the league twice in a row, reached the FA Cup finals, and competed in the AFC Champions League... But judging from the current season situation, it is almost impossible to be among the top three, which makes fans feel a little regretful. If the signings are appropriate in the future, the team should be closer to the top three next year and have a chance to compete for the championship.

You must have noticed Wang Yudong's performance in the league and the national team. Wang Yudong once said that it was you and the club that allowed him to enter the professional league and learned a lot from you. How did you judge his potential when you first saw him?

Thank you very much for his comment. He is not only an excellent player, but also an excellent person, which is crucial. I met him in the training of the echelon. We always let young players participate in first-team training to promote growth. I used this method when I was in the Barcelona U18 echelon. Later, these children grew into professional players. From day one, he can feel that he is unique. The football school also contributed indestructible, and they provided high-quality training for young players. With us, he continues to improve at an amazing speed. If he hadn't been in the national team for a long time, he would have had more opportunities to play earlier, but when he saw his unforgettable smile when he scored his first goal in the AFC Champions League, all his efforts were worth it.

Do you think Wang Yudong has the ability to study abroad? If you want him to develop better, what advice do you want to give him?

He undoubtedly has the standard of studying abroad. If it is not selected for the national team, the ideal choice is to find a European club with a complete youth training system and a consistent tactical style. But now he has become an important member of the national team. The best solution is to continue to grow in the club, accumulate international competition experience, and wait for the European giants to extend an olive branch. By then he will be able to make a career leap.
