What if the national football coach talks too much?

The Football Association may have in-depth communication with Li Tie on related issues

  With China Eastern Airlines flight MU7116 safely landing at Shanghai Pudong International Airport at 10:05 am on November 18th, the Chinese team’s trip to the top 12 this month has come to an end, but at this moment, the Chinese team is not far away from the outside world.

To be precise, the head coach Li Tie has become the most powerful "flow responsibility" for the national football after a series of fierce remarks.

Public opinion has even paid more attention to Li Tie's personal performance than "the national football's impact on the success or failure of the World Cup" itself.

This not only left Li Tie himself in a whirlpool of controversy, but also caused headaches for the Chinese Football Association as his employer.

Li Tie's "personal performance" puts the Football Association under pressure

  In the two top 12 matches held this month, the Chinese team drew with Oman and Australia one after another.

The appearance of the Chinese team's "dying breath" on the way to the World Cup is not unfamiliar.

Since the team survives in theory, then in terms of results or results, the Chinese Football Association has no reason to change coaches.

But Li Tie's "personal performance" has put the Chinese Football Association under extraordinary pressure.

  Time was pushed back to local time on the evening of November 16th. After the China-Australia match ended, Li Tie gushed at the press conference and delivered a 32-minute long speech.

Combined with the controversy caused by his use of troops and speech before, this move is tantamount to a strong counterattack against doubters and critics.

As a result, a new wave of offensive from the media and fans' higher voices came to Li Tie.

Even if those baseless or malicious spoofs are not included, it is an indisputable fact that Li Tie is on the opposite side of the mainstream of public opinion.

  Objectively speaking, the content of Li Tiezhong and Australia after the game is basically true, but the difficulties and pressures he said are no longer a secret.

Some people criticized Li Tie for being too "hypocritical" in light of the fact that some Olympic sports teams won gold in the Tokyo Olympics after more than 500 days of arduous and closed preparations. Some people even linked his babbling appearance with "Xianglin's wife". .

Previously, the Football Association did not restrict Li Tie’s personal behavior too much.

  Regarding whether Li Tie uses his troops properly, there are differences in understanding between professionals and non-professionals, and between different individuals, but overly rhetorical comments like "no brains" have aggravated the deterioration of the relationship between Li Tie and his critics.

In today with advanced modern technology and well-connected network information channels, even an ordinary person can easily "capture" the clues in his life. Then, a focal public figure like Li Tie has practically all aspects of life and work. Under the microscope.

In the environment of fierce controversy, Li Tie's words and deeds have attracted people's attention, and even the details will be infinitely magnified.

For example, after Li Tie’s controversial remarks were further fermented on the Internet, the problem of suspected infringement of the rights and interests of the sponsors of the National Football Team on his personal social platform was “uncovered”. Proper place.

Then such an improper move will undoubtedly give people a word of truth, and people who don't like Li Tie can naturally use this to make a fuss to launch further attacks.

  With his controversial remarks, Li Tie has become the "top-tier" of the current national football. Although to a certain extent, it has diverted the public's attention from the weak national football, but this situation is not what the Chinese Football Association hopes to see.

People familiar with the matter revealed that the generous speeches made by Li Tiezhong and Australia after the game, including the Chinese Football Association delegation and the team management team were unexpected.

  On the 18th, some media commented that Li Tie’s remarks have made the Chinese Football Association embarrassed.

In fact, since the Chinese Football Association officially hired Li Tie's coaching team at the beginning of last year, it has fully delegated powers to the team in training and competition.

Even though the use of the coaching staff in the first 4 rounds caused great controversy, the Chinese Football Association only “added” the Belgian technical director Kreis, who was originally on the team, to the coaching staff’s daily team work lineup, and never interfered with Li Tie’s coaching team. .

Judging from the fact that Li Tie was invited to participate in the Internet platform Premier League and other tournament broadcasts and various personal social activities during his tenure, the Chinese Football Association did not have too many restrictions on Li Tie's personal behavior.

The Football Association is likely to have in-depth communication with Li Tie in the near future

  But like Li Tie, the Chinese Football Association also pays special attention to public opinion in the process of improving the management of the national team.

In this regard, it is not difficult to judge the content of all Li Tie’s controversial remarks deliberately cut off from the Chinese football team official.

But precisely because it was not "sufficiently restrained," Li Tie issued controversial remarks one after another. After all parties fell into a cycle of "being" and "returning", the controversy became more and more difficult to end.

  After 6 rounds of the 12 finals, the Chinese team won 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, and temporarily ranked second from the bottom in Group B.

Although the chance of qualifying is only at the theoretical level, combined with the reality that Chinese football skills are not as good as humans, this result has not crossed the "bottom line" of the Chinese Football Association. Li Tie is currently handsome and worry-free, and even has a high probability of leading the team to the top 12 games. .

But Li Tie's personal controversy has added more trouble to the management of the Chinese Football Association's national team.

It is understood that the Chinese Football Association is likely to conduct in-depth communication with Li Tie personally on related issues after the team returns to China.

As far as the team is concerned, it is the head coach's duty to do a good job of preparing for the game, not to be a "net celebrity" in a constant debate with others.
