After Xue Yang announced the news, everyone who followed Xue Yang's news was shocked.
Because this happened so suddenly, from Tianjin Wei hurriedly announcing Xue Yang's resignation, to later Xue Yang coaching The Hague.
There was no news at all during this period, but when everyone looked back later, they discovered that it was not that there was no recruitment.
In fact, when Xue Yang was leading the team in the Club World Cup, several overseas players interacted frequently with Xue Yang on Weibo.
In mid-December, The Hague officially announced the dismissal of the head coach.
The reason why he was fired was precisely because his coaching performance was too poor.
He also had a rather wild tone and made insinuations about the club's signings more than once during interviews.
He said that the team did not recruit according to his wishes. In fact, the local fans in The Hague have already lost patience with him.
In the past 17 rounds of the Eredivisie, they have only won 4 games.
It is currently ranked 12th in the standings. To be honest, The Hague has invested quite a lot, but in the end, it only achieved this result.
Both the club and the fans are very dissatisfied with this result.
Under such circumstances, there is no doubt that the head coach will be fired.
Of course, even so, local fans are still dissatisfied with The Hague.
In the past few transfer windows, The Hague has introduced several young players one after another.
Some of the players did not show their potential, which made fans feel that there was indeed a problem with the team's recruitment.
During the period when the head coach is fired, U21 head coach Van Weldon will serve as the interim head coach.
Some time ago, several coaches of The Hague Echelon expressed dissatisfaction with the team because the club kept sending Chinese coaches to The Hague Echelon.
This made them feel the crisis, and Van Weldon was one of them.
He always had a feeling that he would be replaced, but now he has become the head coach of the first team.
This made Van Weldon very happy, and he was still thinking that if he performed well in leading the team, he might be able to serve as the head coach of the first team.
But Van Weldon did not have this ability, and Van Weldon was never able to coach other first-team teams until the future.
In Xue Yang's previous life, he later retired after spending a few years in The Hague Echelon.
It can be seen that Van Weldon's coaching level is indeed average, and after Van Weldon led the team, it was no surprise that it ushered in a losing streak.
In fact, before Xue Yang announced his arrival in The Hague, The Hague officials had already announced that Xue Yang would coach the first team of The Hague.
Later, Chinese fans realized that all this was not groundless.
In fact, Xue Yang is somewhat famous in Europe now. After all, he led the Chinese Super League team to play back and forth with Real Madrid.
This is not something that ordinary coaches can do, but Xue Yang led a Chinese Super League team after all.
Therefore, after the official announcement in The Hague, the local fans in The Hague were more worried.
I am worried that Xue Yang is not used to the Eredivisie and will not be able to lead The Hague to glory.
Even some radical fans protested against the hiring of Xue Yang outside the club.
In their opinion, many Chinese coaches have come to The Hague since it was acquired by Chinese investors.
Before, Chinese players were not favored when they came to play in Europe, but now they are being kicked out one after another.
However, the coach is different. Fans cannot see the coach's ability.
Moreover, they are still serving in the echelon, and fans are even less aware of their abilities.
All they see is the club's efforts to please Chinese talent, and these Chinese coaches may destroy The Hague's young players.
Xue Yang joining The Hague also surprised many European media.
It has never happened before that an Asian coach, and a Chinese coach at that, actually coaches an Eredivisie team.
For a time, many people paid attention to The Hague. Some said that The Hague was bold, while others said that The Hague was ignorant.
After these things happened, the local fans in The Hague were even more disappointed, because they believed that The Hague had become the laughingstock of the Eredivisie.
The Hague's approval rating has already declined in the past two seasons, and this downward trend has become even more serious.
As for the Chinese side, when they learned the news, countless Chinese reporters went to the Netherlands.
I hope they can interview Xue Yang, but they couldn't find him before.
After the official announcement of Xue Yang's joining, The Hague later held a press conference.
There are a lot of reporters here now, including many Chinese reporters.
Everyone was full of curiosity about this appointment, and reporters asked questions one after another.
"Mr. Xue, you have achieved so many achievements in the Chinese Super League, why did you suddenly choose to come to the Eredivisie?" a Dutch reporter asked.
"I do continue to stay in the Chinese Super League. I believe I can win more championships and achieve more, but I am not satisfied with this." Xue Yang replied seriously.
"But I hope to challenge myself, and changing the environment is undoubtedly the best challenge for me."
"Although there have been many outstanding players in China in the past two years, it is undeniable that the Eredivisie is higher than the Chinese Super League, so I came to the Netherlands."
Xue Yang's answers are more official, but many of them are true.
Compared with the Chinese Super League and the Eredivisie, it is really far behind.
Regardless of the quality or rhythm of the game, it is definitely not comparable to the Eredivisie.
If Tianjin Wei were placed in the Eredivisie, they would definitely be a strong team, but it is Tianjin Wei after all.
Tianjin Wei's starting draw ability is all above 70 points, and there are even several players with nearly 80 points.
Xue Yang estimates that except for a few teams, any Chinese Super League team will be abused when it comes to the Eredivisie.
"Hello, Mr. Xue, you were famous for reusing young players during Tianjin Wei. I wonder if you will continue this style after coming to The Hague?" another reporter asked.
"The Hague has many young players with strength and potential, but they have not been reused before. This is also something that I am very confused about." Xue Yang started to talk after thinking about it.
"After I coach The Hague, I will focus on training them while ensuring their results. Youth represents the future."
"Of course, this does not mean that I will only use young players. The veterans in the team are precious treasures in The Hague."
Under Xue Yang's recruitment strategy, The Hague now has many potential future stars in the team.
If they are all trained up, maybe they can compete with the strong teams in the five major leagues.
"What are The Hague's goals for this season?" another reporter asked.
"With The Hague's current strength, we can definitely compete for European qualification, but our results before were indeed a bit poor, so I can only say that I will try my best."
The next day, Xue Yang was criticized by former Den Haag coach Frazier. His most targeted point was Xue Yang's evaluation of young players.
He laughed at Xue Yang's lack of ability to recognize people. There are indeed good rising stars among the young players in The Hague team.
But most of them are relatively ordinary, he satirizes Xue Yang's eyes.
