According to the Beijing Youth Daily, Li Xiaopeng has preliminarily circled a shortlist of assistant coach candidates, and most of the favorite local assistant coach candidates are national team teammates in their player era. However, due to objective factors, the national football coaching team and the list of new training international footballers can not be confirmed until after New Year's Day at the earliest.
The Football Association has preliminarily drawn up a shortlist of assistant coach candidates based on Li Xiaopeng's opinions, but some of the candidates are currently "on the job", and some even play a more important coaching role in the club. Therefore, out of respect for the club, neither the Football Association nor Li Xiaopeng will "bother" such candidates for the time being, but will communicate with them specifically after the end of the season. It is reported that most of Li Xiaopeng's favorite local assistant coaches are his national team teammates in the player era, and some of them have also participated in major events such as the 2002 World Cup or the 2004 Asian Cup.
It is reported that Li Xiaopeng hopes that the Spanish coach Pep, who has assisted him in the club team, can come to China to participate in the coaching work of the national football team. However, as of now, there has been no substantial progress in this matter. In the case of the difficult choice of assistant coach, Li Xiaopeng does not rule out the possibility of fighting for the retention of individual former national football coaching team members, such as goalkeeper coach Ou Chuliang, who is one of the goals he strives for. As for the Chinese Football Association Belgian technical director Kress and the British physical coach Adrian Lamb in the national football coaching team, it is likely that they will stay in the team.
In terms of the selection of international footballers, Li Xiaopeng also faces difficulties. After Wang Gang and Wu Xinghan were seriously injured, it is not excluded that more international footballers will suffer unexpected injuries. Among the four active naturalized internationals, except for the center-back Jiang Guangtai, the remaining 3 have returned to Brazil. At present, the Football Association has instructed special personnel to keep in touch with these people, but as the relevant person said, "they (naturalized international footballers) can theoretically represent the Chinese team, but how to maintain their status after returning to China (Brazil) is not easy to control." The parent team doesn't pay a salary, and it's normal that they can't play in the league. ”
