Guoan s "transmission and control revolution" turned into a farce: I can t practice in the scorching sun, and I m a young master s soldier when I walk on the field?

Beijing Guoan's recent record declined sharply (falling from the top three from the top), and conflicts in the locker room surfaced, pointing directly at coach Setien's "Spanish-style" training and tactics.

1. Passing and controlling" double-sided blade:

Players complained that the former Suarez era "no passing and controlling" caused the inability to "rest" on the court, and put pressure on the court to promote the pass and controlling style. Now Setien brings the pass and controlling (the ball control rate is often over 65%), and the players play "comfortable" on the court, but their running enthusiasm has dropped sharply, and they were criticized for "walking" on the court.

Ironically, the high ball control rate failed to turn into a winning goal (such as 65% of the ball control against Chengdu only 2 shots, and 35% of the opponent's ball control shots, and 9 shots in a straight shot), and was criticized for "false pass and controlling".

2. Scalding sun training triggered conflicts:

Setien insisted on high-intensity training under the scorching sun at 11 a.m. every day, which is in line with Spanish habits, but was accused of ignoring the physical fitness differences between Beijing's hot summer and Chinese players. The player's request for adjustment of time was rejected by toughness: "If you are not satisfied, you can leave! ” Aroused strong dissatisfaction. Players generally reported that training was "tired and hot", which led to increased injuries, insufficient physical fitness in the game, and lack of fighting spirit on the field (frequently spreading hands and confused eyes).

3. "Young Master Soldier" questioning and a vicious cycle:

The media and fans criticized some players for becoming "Young Master Soldiers" and could not withstand high-intensity training and game requirements. The club was accused of falling into a "vicious circle of changing coaches" (sharp in the first half → collapse in the second half → questioning foreign coaches → dismissal), and deep management problems (such as insufficient training guarantee) were ignored. Setien faces a huge crisis of trust, fans shouted "stopped get out of class", and the media called on his "reduction" to adapt to national conditions.

Core conflict: Players not only need to "saving effort" on the field to control, but also resist "explosive" high-intensity training off the field, and intensified in the heat. Setien's stubbornness collided fiercely with the players' "discomfort", resulting in a collapse in the record and internal dissonance. Guoan once again stood at the crossroads of "changing coaches or changing ideas".
