The head coach of the Chinese men's football team lifted the quarantine on the 24th and did not submit his resignation


  . Li Xiaopeng will go to Beijing to submit the next work plan

  According to the plan, the Chinese men's football team will be released from isolation on the 24th of this month, and then the international players will leave Haikou and return to their respective clubs to prepare for the new season of the Chinese Super League.

Head coach Li Xiaopeng will go to Beijing to report to the national football management team on the last four rounds of the top 12 and submit the next step plan.

According to a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, Li Xiaopeng did not submit his resignation letter recently when the national football coaching team led the team training in Haikou.

  Li Xiaopeng is still leading the team

  did not submit resignation

  Since returning to China late at night on April 3, the national football team has been closed and quarantined in a relatively calm atmosphere.

Due to the long isolation period, the team arranged for the entire team to train normally at the Mission Hills Base in Haikou in order to help the internationals maintain their competitive state so that they can more calmly devote themselves to the journey of the new season's professional league.

  However, the recent news on the Internet that "the national football team may change coaches" has re-directed the focus of the outside world to the national football team.

Some media said that Li Xiaopeng is more likely to resign voluntarily.

However, according to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter, Li Xiaopeng's coaching team is still leading the training normally, and he has not submitted his resignation.

  The focus of this year's work

  Has turned to U23 Asian Games

  Will Li Xiaopeng resign voluntarily?

In fact, after the national football team defeated the Oman team by 2 goals in Muscat on the evening of March 29, Li Xiaopeng made a statement at the post-match press conference about "the team's skills are not as good as others", but he did not have any questions about his personal departure or stay. , shut up.

At that time, Li Xiaopeng did not have a "quasi-specialty" about whether to stay or go.

  As we all know, after Li Tie's dismissal was a foregone conclusion, Li Xiaopeng's replacement was actually implemented in the context of the change of the national football management model.

That is to say, his appointment was actually implemented under the leadership of the "National Football (Preparation) Leadership Working Group" led by the sports management department.

Therefore, whether Li Xiaopeng and his team should stay or leave still needs the "leading working group" to make a decision according to the procedure.

Since the national football team is currently undergoing a closed quarantine in Haikou, the issue of whether to leave or stay there will not be discussed in the short term.

  After the national football team failed to enter the Qatar World Cup finals, the focus of the Chinese Football Association's work on the men's national football team this year has turned to fully cooperate with the U23 national football team to prepare for the Hangzhou Asian Games football match.

In this case, Zhu Chenjie and Dai Weijun, two young players of the right age, who are the stars of the national football team, have been transferred to the U23 national football preparation camp during their time in Haikou.

  This year is the year of the World Cup. Affected by the epidemic, the national football team still has a high probability of missing international competitions during the two international competition days before the start of the World Cup in Qatar. In other words, the team has no major competition tasks this year.

In this case, there is no clear direction or signal for the national football team in the next period of time.

At present, Li Xiaopeng's team has no definite answer to whether it can continue to receive the support of the management.

This somewhat embarrassed him and his team members.

  National Football Team hires Li Xiaopeng

  Intended to be long-term

  According to the previous practice of the national team's competition, after the national football team completes the competition task of a major event, the coaching staff should make a profound summary of the team's leadership to the management.

If you intend to continue to lead the team, the coaching staff should also submit a preparation plan for the next cycle.

From this point of view, neither Li Xiaopeng nor the team management will make a hasty decision to "break up".

  It is worth noting that when the "Leadership Working Group" hired Li Xiaopeng's team, its original intention was to take a long-term perspective and plan ahead for the team's Asian Cup next year.

In the eyes of all parties, regardless of coaching change or not, the exit of the Chinese team in the top 12 will be a high probability event.

In terms of reality or performance, Li Xiaopeng was appointed when the team was on the verge of being out, and the result of his inability to reverse the team's defeat was predictable when he took office.

Then for the record of 1 draw and 3 losses led by the team, the team management will also make an objective judgment.

  In terms of personal style, Li Xiaopeng is unlikely to retreat.

However, like the U23's preparation for the Asian Games, the work of the national football team for next year's Asian Cup is equally important. More than a year seems to be a long time, but for a team that has bottomed out, the problems that need to be sorted out and improved are really complicated. I can't wait.

What is the next step for the national football team?

The exact answer can only be given when the question of where and how the coaching team will stay is clarified as soon as possible.
