The eight words in front of the headline are the "respectful warnings" sent to Li Tie by the Xinhua News Agency a few days ago. Here to borrow, I would like to encourage the Football Association and Chen Shuyuan.
Chinese people often pay attention to a "degree" when they talk and do things. For example, the slogan of the national football team is "unity is iron". In addition to being pursued as a requirement or a goal, sometimes it is precisely the issue of unity that is more tangled. As a mainstream media, being able to send Li Tie such a few words, the voiceover is definitely many times more than the text itself. From this and the other, from this round of 12 matches, I think of the Football Association, as well as Chen Shuyuan, the head of the delegation of the National Football Expedition and the chairman of the Football Association.
Two days ago, FIFA announced a new edition of the world rankings, the national football team ranked 74th in the world, eighth in Asia, up one place from the ninth in Asia in the previous period. The top 7 national teams in Asia are Iran, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Although this one-place rise is related to the 5th and 6th round draws in the round of 12 with Oman and Australia, and has little to do with the overall strength of the national football team, it is still gratifying. After all, any bit of good news about the national football team at present is so hard-won and precious.
However, looking back on this short but long two-and-a-half-month battle, there are too many words to "send" to the FA and Chen Shuyuan.
I just saw an article in a domestic media that was almost only one sentence, and the title was almost half of the entire article: "Scolari personally told me that the key to the development of Chinese football is the correct leadership of the Football Association." The content of the article is half a sentence more than the title: listen to as long as it is correct, but his post-game speech will not be decided by anyone.
The brilliance of this article is that it punches a lot of people in the face. On November 20, a reporter posted on a personal social platform, saying that before choosing Li Tie as the head coach of the national football team, the Chinese Football Association "had contacted" Scolari, and Li Tie was "not Chen Shuyuanding". Ming said, if the national football coach is Scolari, God knows whether the post-match press conference will be another "big game" of the national football team.
I have not been a national football coach, nor have I seen the contract of the national football manager, and I do not know what the terms are. And Scolari is Brazilian, and it is doubtful whether his words are standard, or even truth.
Some people say that because the results are not ideal, some of Li Tie's speeches or microblogs have been infinitely magnified under the microscope. This sentence is also true in reverse, that is, if the results of the national football team are very ideal, and even after 6 games, the points are high in the group, then Li Tie's above words and deeds may not be counted, at least for the time being, it will not become an "internet celebrity" and "traffic star".
I disagree with this view.
Bad grades are not the reason for not being able to bear the criticism and resentment brought about by this; no matter how good the results are, what should be said, what should not be said, or should be expressed in another way, which is the cultivation and basic quality of being a national team manager. Even if it is not expressly stipulated in the contract text, it still belongs to the meaning of "other unfinished matters" that both parties should abide by in the contract text. If one party cannot do so, the other party should perform the corresponding duties and rights. For the FA, at least not publicly criticizing, correcting, and ensuring that things like that don't happen again are the jobs that must be done. If you don't do it, or if you do it without effect, and let the same thing happen again and again, and even trigger the continuous fermentation of the whole public opinion, it is dereliction of duty.
If it were not for Li Tie's "fear", the Football Association would not have followed such a passive, and would not have been repeatedly "shelled" by the media and fans. Even the women's football team is said to be "affected" because of this. And the "involvement" itself has been exposed as "internal determination", which can be described as losing the lady and folding the soldiers.
The round of 12 is over, and the Chinese Super League is coming, which will be a bigger test for the Football Association. Wage arrears, various exits, legends of leaving, the promotion of equity "mixed reform", whether the sluggish performance of national football has a negative impact on the league, and even whether 16 Chinese Super League teams can be gathered to continue to participate, etc., which one thing is not easy to deal with, and each step may be very difficult. Even if the Chinese Super League can be properly resolved, how will the focus of Chinese football be established in the next step? Is it to continue to make the national team's top 12 matches the "top priority" of the work, or to quickly turn around and start to sink into the governance of the league environment and focus on youth training?
A careless move, like a white colt crossing the gap, another 4 years just flowed from the fingertips.
If you want to wear a crown, you will bear its weight. These short 8 words, for Li Tie, weigh as much as a thousand pounds. For the Chinese Football Association, for Chen Shuyuan, why not? Why sweep the world without sweeping a house, and why not accumulate a thousand miles. Not to be more truthful in the details, to relax or even ignore the accumulation of "good and small" and let the "evil small" be born, accumulating for a long time, and great trouble will come.
If the upper beam is not correct, the lower beam will be crooked.
