Whether the national football team will "exchange Li Tie" will see the next month

  In the past week, public opinion about whether the national football coach "Li Tie will dismiss" has been one after another, and some media or media people have even asserted that Li Tie will definitely "dismiss" and local coach Li Xiaopeng is expected to replace him.

As of yesterday morning, the national football team remained calm.

However, once the "change of coaches" becomes a reality, no matter who takes over the team, there is a high probability that the team will not change the fate of the team.

The next job of the national football coach is to focus on the Asian Cup in the next year, the replacement of the old and the new, or the longer-term goal?

This question may be more meaningful than "changing coaches or not".

Rumors of "Chinese Men's Football Team Changed"

  On the evening of the 28th, the Internet suddenly spread the so-called inside news about "Chinese men's football coach Li Tie has confirmed that he is dismissing get out of class, and Wuhan team coach Li Xiaopeng is infinitely close to taking over as the Chinese men's football coach."

The rumors also quickly made the hot search list.

However, as of yesterday morning, the above rumors have not been confirmed by the Chinese Football Association or other official channels.

  A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily was informed that although the rumors of “the new coach of the national football team met with the Football Association (representatives)” had been widely circulated before the “internal news” was exposed that night, Chen Xuyuan, the chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and the association were in charge of the management of the national name. Executive Deputy Secretary-General and Minister of State Administration Department Chen Yongliang, the national football team leader Zhang He and other key personnel directly involved in the management of the national football team are currently undergoing closed isolation observation with the national football delegation in Suzhou. It is impossible for them to participate in the so-called "candidate meeting". ".

As for the "candidate" with whom the decision-making representatives will meet, it is not known.

National football preparations and overall peace of life

  It is understood that considering that the international football team will return to the club next month to prepare for the second stage of the Chinese Super League or the Football Association Cup finals and other events, the Chinese team's recent training rhythm in Suzhou has been significantly slower than the previous period.

Generally speaking, after the whole team trains for 2 consecutive days, it will take a day off to protect the "combat power" of the internationals.

  The 28th happened to be a rest day for the national football team.

The national football coaching staff continued to focus on business work as usual. The members of the Chinese Football Association working group played at the Taihu Base in the afternoon as usual. Participants included Chen Xuyuan, Chen Yongliang and others.

  On the morning of the 29th, the national football coaching team held a business meeting as usual. In the afternoon, the whole team will go to the Taihu Base for normal outdoor training.

So far, the preparations and life within the national football team are generally calm.

Some members of the team said they did not know about the recent rumours of a "change of coaches".

  All members of the Chinese team delegation will end the 14-day closed isolation on December 2, and then be collectively transferred to Shanghai as required to continue their 7-day "self-observation."

Different from previous periods, the team will no longer arrange any group training after the team arrives in Shanghai, and some international players will directly meet with club teams preparing for the league in Shanghai during the same period.

In other words, the coaching staff headed by Li Tie will lead the team as normal at least until December 2.

Who will take over the "hot potato"?

  Judging from the recent reports of various public opinions, the main reason for Li Tie's "provoking public anger" is not his record of leading the team, but his controversial words and deeds against him, especially the alleged violation of the rules of "posting pictures and bringing goods" on social platforms.

In the eyes of some media and media people, it is the general trend that Li Tie is replaced.

  So, does the Chinese Football Association have a "spare tire" in the selection of the national football coach?

Judging from the important task of leading the national football team and the social attention that the national football itself has received, it is obvious that the Chinese Football Association will make plans for all kinds of accidents that may occur.

Related plans should be made as early as before the national football team went to the top 40 games.

The Chinese Football Association will start the plan only if it is necessary to change coaches as a last resort.

  In fact, the Chinese Football Association is clearly in a dilemma about whether to change coaches.

At present, the Chinese team temporarily ranks second from the bottom in Group B in the top 12, and is behind the Australian team, which is temporarily ranked third, by as much as 6 points.

Next, the Chinese team will visit Japan and Vietnam at the end of January and early February next year. If they fail to score enough points, their exit will occur at the threshold of the lunar new year.

From this perspective, no matter who leads the Chinese team, there is a high probability that the national football team will not be able to stop the game.

If the "change of coaches" is a foregone conclusion, then the new coach will be tantamount to taking over a "hot potato".

Just imagine, starting with "out of the world preliminaries" as a coach, the blow to any coach is obvious.

  Judging from the current situation, if the Chinese Football Association confirms a coaching change, hiring foreign teachers is temporarily unrealistic. At present, the Belgian technical director of the Chinese Football Association, who has participated in the work of the national football coaching staff, has also made it clear that he will not take over the Chinese team.

From the perspective of public opinion, the outside world's evaluation of Li Xiaopeng is generally good, but being the national football coach means that he has to be on the cusp of public opinion from the beginning of his appointment. Team leadership is often the main basis for the outside world to evaluate his excellent work.

Reasonable judgment is needed for coaching change

  Judging from the actual situation of competition in this top 12 competition, the lack of skills in the national football team is behind the lack of talent training.

The argument about "do a good job in youth training and take a long-term view" has been called out by all walks of life for many years.

However, similar basic goals and national team qualifying goals are often "contradictory" with each other.

It can be seen that the Chinese Football Association and relevant parties do need to make reasonable judgments on the "time point and goal of the coaching change" on the issue of coaching changes. Round injury.

  With the national football team moving to Shanghai in early December, both the Chinese Football Association and the current national football coaching team headed by Li Tie have time to sit down and plan for the future.

It is understood that Chen Xuyuan, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, had communicated with Li Tie on a series of controversial moves by the latter last week.

At present, Li Tie has fallen into a relatively passive position.

As for the team's next preparations, including the question of whether to change coaches, the Chinese Football Association and all relevant parties will have a high probability of communicating results in December.
