Shortly after "Two Lis, One Go", the Football Association recommended Qi Jun as the national football team leader

  The General Administration and the Football Association "jointly manage" the adjustment of the national football management model is imminent

  Shortly after the official announcement on December 3 that Li Xiaopeng would succeed Li Tie as the new Chinese men’s football coach, the Chinese Football Association also recommended to the sports management department that Qi Jun, the current Minister of the Strategic Planning Department of the Football Association, was appointed as the national football team leader. According to a reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily This nomination has been approved by relevant parties, and what follows will be the adjustment of the Chinese men's football management model.

It is understood that the sports management department held a meeting on the reorganization of the national football team last weekend and established a special leadership working group for this purpose. The group is led by the relevant leaders of the General Administration of Sports and the chairman of the Chinese Football Association Chen Xuyuan as the team leader and deputy team leader.

This shows that the General Administration of Sports and the Chinese Football Association's subsequent "co-management" of the Chinese men's football team is a foregone conclusion.

Li Xiaopeng plans to go to Shanghai on the 7th to communicate the details of team work with the leaders of the Chinese Football Association who are there.

  Team leader changes

  The Football Association's recommendation of Qi Jun surprised all parties

  On the afternoon of December 3, the Chinese Football Association announced through official channels that it agreed to the resignation of the former coach of the Chinese men's football team, Li Tie, and decided to hire Li Xiaopeng as the new coach of the team.

This announcement is short of more than 500 words, but it is quite meaningful.

On the one hand, it is a foregone conclusion that Li Tie will "dismiss get out of class" under the influence of his words and deeds; on the other hand, from the perspective of the sports management department, the reconstruction of the national football team is urgent. The appointment of Li Xiaopeng as the new coach means that the sports management department has further intervened in the management of the national football team. .

  The outside world has made various interpretations of "two liers one by one".

Some believe that Li Xiaopeng’s appointment means that the Chinese Football Association has lost its right to speak on major issues related to the national football.

However, this is not the case.

According to people familiar with the matter, the reason why the sports management department is so resolute in pushing Li Xiaopeng is to help the Chinese Football Association further improve the operation and management of the team as soon as possible.

And just last weekend, the sports management department also held a working meeting on the issue of the national football, and at the same time launched a working group "special management" Chinese men's football, the situation is very similar to the previous establishment of the Chinese women's football working group.

  However, unlike the Chinese women's football team, the Chinese men's football team is not an Olympic team. Its primary task is to hit the World Cup rather than the Olympics. Therefore, the two teams have different modes of management in terms of specific management methods.

Take the leader of the team as an example. Prior to this, the sports management department had appointed a head of the unit within the system as the leader of the Chinese women's football team.

Although the candidate for the Chinese men's football team has also changed, the candidate was finally determined as the head of the Strategic Planning Department of the Chinese Football Association, and Qi Jun, the head of the National Football World Preliminary Epidemic Prevention Working Group.

  Qi Jun became the new leader of the National Football Association recommended by the Chinese Football Association, which surprised all parties.

This is because in the previous 11 years of the Football Association's work, although Qi Jun has served as the head of the competition department, the league and the national team's epidemic prevention working group, he has no experience in the management of the national team.

Like the work of the national football coach, the work of the team leader is complicated, and those who need to bear this important task are extra cautious in dealing with people and things.

Combining the right and wrong of the national football team in recent years, the team leader also needs to have certain leadership skills, have connections in the industry, be good at communicating with the upper and lower levels, and be good at crisis public relations.

  technical level

  The National Football Assistant will be recommended by the Football Association with a high probability

  It is worth noting that 11 years ago, when Chinese football was plagued by corruption scandals, Qi Jun once served as a temporary cadre of the General Administration of Sports to the Chinese Football Association.

In other words, he is currently one of the few members of the association with a background in sports management.

From this perspective, he may be a candidate acceptable to both the sports management department and the Chinese Football Association.

  The involvement of sports management departments in the management of the national football team may be more embodied at the macro level.

It is understood that according to the recent specific division of labor of the sports management department, the current deputy director of the General Administration of Sports and the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Football Association, Du Zhaocai, will continue to be in charge of football work, and the party branch secretary of the National Football Association will be personally served by him.

  Where the Chinese team will go in the future, it is still difficult to get an accurate judgment.

However, judging from the fact that Li Xiaopeng and Qi Jun were pushed to the forefront, the intention of the sports management department to strengthen the management of the national football has been very clear.

However, at the specific technical level or at the business level, the Chinese Football Association will still play an important role as an informant.

For example, after Li Xiaopeng confirms that he has taken over the national football coach's seal, his assistant coach candidates will be recommended by the Chinese Football Association with a high probability.

Kreis, the Belgian technical director of the Football Association who has been with the team since the top 40 matches, will continue to provide technical support to the coaching staff with the team.

As for other assistants, they will be confirmed after Li Xiaopeng communicates with the relevant person in charge of the Chinese Football Association.

  working arrangement

  Li Xiaopeng will meet and communicate with the leaders of the Football Association

  According to the plan, after Li Xiaopeng recently communicated and cooperated with relevant parties in Beijing, he will set off for Shanghai early on the 7th to meet and communicate with the Chinese Football Association Chairman Chen Xuyuan and the new team leader Qi Jun.

With the change of coaches and main management personnel, the national football team will enter a new track of preparations.

In the management and operation of the national football, the sports management department and the Chinese Football Association will have a cooperative relationship.

Some media commented that, "For the Chinese National Men's Football Team, this is actually a good thing. The joint efforts of the State Sports General Administration and the Chinese Football Association can undoubtedly mobilize broader resources and concentrate greater strength to escort the national football team." Of course, the improvement measures surrounding the construction of the national team have also been introduced irregularly before. As for the effect, the answer can only be given through practice.

  It is understood that the Chinese Football Association has other arrangements for Zhang He and others, the former national football team leader.

After the main problem is resolved, Li Xiaopeng and his team members will go deep into the Super League arena to inspect the players and prepare for the 7th and 8th rounds of the next 12 finals.
