The other one is a more efficient and pragmatic style used by national teams like Portugal, who were crowned at Euro 2016, and Italy under former boss Antonio Conte. Conte brought this efficient football style to Premier League outfit Chelsea, while Diego Simeone and Jose Mourinho adopted close philosophy in Athletico Madrid and Manchester United respectively.

In theory, the first style is more suitable for Chinese footballers, as their neighbors Japan have proved they can master this kind of passing game with relatively disadvantageous physical strength compared with European and South American players.

Maybe Dragan Stojkovic is a good candidate to guide the T-T revolution for Chinese football training. The football romanticist coach and former Yugoslavian football genius has proved his philosophy effective by leading Guangzhou R&F to the fifth place with short passes, buildup from the back, possession-oriented play, penetrating passes and interchanges.

Although his squad cannot be compared with big clubs like Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG, Stojkovic used an avant garde 343 attacking formation, and his strong belief in beautiful football helps forge a strong side based on native players who can produce some nice buildups. In fact, Guangzhou R&F beat giants like Scolari's Evergrande with this kind of football. In an interview, Stojkovic said that he has the same understanding of the sport with Arsene Wenger, who was his coach in J-league side Nagoya Grampus in the 1990s.
