It is sad that Setien has long been isolated by the Guoan players. When leaving, the Guoan players were silent and only one substitute player saw him off.

Now with only 4 rounds left in the league, Beijing Guoan couldn't bear it and chose to change coaches. Quique Setien was dismissed safely. In fact, Setien's fate of dismissal was already determined. It was just a matter of when. In the end, the AFC Champions League became the final straw for the AFC Champions League. The last straw for Thien was that even though the top management clearly pointed out that the AFC Champions League was very important, Setien still insisted on choosing to play with the substitute lineup. This undoubtedly caused strong dissatisfaction among the club's top brass and became the trigger for Setien's dismissal.

On the day Setien left Beijing, the scene at the airport still attracted special attention from the outside world. As the head coach of the team, Guoan players chose to remain silent when leaving. Only the Guoan midfielder went to see him off. Zhang Yuan and some fans. According to some Guoan fans and reporters, Zhang Yuan also had a very happy conversation with Setien, and even almost burst into tears at one point. Setien also sincerely said that no matter how Zhang Yuan performs on the court in the future, he will give advice and the two are considered friends. The indifference of other Guoan players also made fans sigh.

From this point, we can actually see that Setien may have been isolated within the team for a long time. This also explains why Setien always sits on the bench in recent games instead of standing up to direct the game. There may be no players in the team listening to him. Previously, the media broke the news that Setien had a tense relationship with some players in the team due to his "stubbornness" and training arrangements, and even reached the point of "rebellion". Now seeing the players' generally silent attitude seems to give these rumors a little more credibility.

But what surprised fans was why Zhang Yuan was the only one who went to see Setien off? You know, during Setien's coaching period, Zhang Yuan served as a substitute for a long time, and his position was not stable. He only regained his position with his outstanding performance in the second level of the AFC Champions League. Compared with local players such as Cao Yongjing, Lin Liangming, and Wu Shaocong in the team, Zhang Yuan's degree of "favor" is simply different. This still confuses fans. Fans speculate that Setien may have given Zhang Yuan encouragement and guidance when he was at a low point, making Zhang Yuan grateful.

No matter what, now that Setien has left Guoan and left China, we should also send our blessings to the old coach. The lonely back of Setien when he left is actually a microcosm of Guoan's head coach selection in recent years. Coaching positions change frequently, and every head coach faces tremendous pressure and challenges. They have to build a competitive lineup in a short period of time, balance the relationship between players, and deal with the doubts and expectations of the outside world. In this process, it is inevitable that there will be friction with some players. In the future, we still hope that the club will be more professional in management and be able to provide sufficient support to the coaches.
