The title is the evaluation and metaphor of "ID: bjzhuchang" by Beijing home game before Biliqi came to Guoan. It means that judging from Bilic's resume and achievements, his coach in Premier League is equivalent to Wang Baoshan of Chinese Premier League .
To put it bluntly, Bilic is the coach of a Premier League relegation team or a mid-to-high-level team in the English Championship . Judging from his resume, among Guoan's foreign coaches in the past ten years, he is definitely not as good as Schmidt, Genesio , Manzano and Pacheco , slightly stronger than Stano , and similar to Jose.
Of course, later Bilic's performance in leading Guoan was similar to Jose, but Jose caught up with Zhonghe, who was still rich at the time, and directly gave him off the get out of class, while Bilic made it until the end of the contract.
When the Chinese Super League entered the second half of last year, foreign media reported that Bilic would leave Guoan. It was reported that the Turkish giant Fenerbahce had a crush on Bilic and hoped to hire him as the head coach.
Actually, it’s very fake when you look at this message. Although Fenerbahce is not the team of in the top five leagues, he is still one of Türkiye's top three and is also a frequent visitor to Champions League Europa League. How could he look at Bilic?
When I said this a year ago, many people still thought "Why are you damning Bilic again?" Now, I'm afraid more people understand that Bilic's level is unlikely to coach in the strong teams in the second and third-rate European leagues.
Because Schmidt can coach Eindhoven . He coaches Benfica in Portugal. The strength of the top three in Turkey is not much different than that of the top three in the Netherlands and the top three in Portugal. How can Bilic's ability be comparable to Schmidt?
Sure enough, after Schmidt was dismissed, he went to Eindhoven in less than half a year. After Genesio's contract with Guoan expired, he soon returned to , Ligue 1, and took over the coaching staff of , Rennes, . These two coaches like them are not short of contracts in Europe.
But as for Bilic, after more than half a year, he finally found a job - the English Championship mid-season team.
Watford Club official news, the team contacted Edwards's head coaching position and hired Bilic as the new head coach, with a contract period of one and a half years.
Watford is a team that was just relegated last season. The team's goal in the new season must be to return to the Premier League, but unexpectedly, after playing 10 games in the league, the team ranked tenth. Such a result led to the dismissal of head coach Edwards. Bilic’s goal is also very simple, that is, to bring the team back to the track of the Super League.
To be honest, although Bilic's coaching experience and level are not as good as Schmidt and Genesio, Bilic is still a good player in upgrading and relegation . He once led West Blumwich to upgrade and also led West Ham to play relatively good results in the Premier League.
This is why we gave him the title of "Premier League King Baoshan".
In the football world, some coaches are called "champion coaches", such as the older Lippi , Capello , Mourinho , etc. Some coaches are always on the road to winning the championship, such as Schmidt, and some coaches are really good at upgrading and relegation, such as Bilic.
Champion coach often has very high requirements and must be very detailed and confident in tactics, management, employment and other aspects. The championship coach often has certain characteristics in playing style and management ideas, but often misses the championship due to insufficient handling of details. A coach like Xiang Bilic has his own talent in upgrading because of his tactics, management and employment, which are particularly direct and motivated, but he has no characteristics and no big strategy.
Previously, Bilic also tried to coach some other giants, such as Russia's Moscow Locomotive, Turkey's Besiktas , and Saudi Saudi 's Jeddah United (i.e. Itihad) but the results were not ideal. He took the Locomotive to the middle reaches by him. Besiktas had not qualified for the Champions League for two years under him, and Itihad fell directly into the relegation zone.
Beijing Guoan is more or less a strong team in the Chinese Super League, or a traditional giant, but under Bilic's operation, he can only rank in the middle.
Fortunately, this experience at Guoan did not have too much impact on Bilic's coaching experience. He came to Guoan from a lift team like West Brom and now he returned to Watford, which has just been relegated to the English Championship, which is not a loss. I believe that Bilic has the ability to lead Watford to the Premier League, after all, this is an advantage he is good at.
