Since January 12, after the new Chinese men's football team launched its first training session at the Century Park Stadium in Shanghai's Pudong New Area, by the 16th, as the personnel became relatively neat, the national football team officially entered the final preparation. Although as many as 52 players were selected for the squad and as many as 15 assistant coaches, the scene was fiery. But compared with Li Tie, this time, on social platforms, such as Weibo, Li Xiaopeng, the most interesting person in the national football team, did not see his own dynamics and voices.
Li Tie's voice overwhelmed the marshal
As Li Xiaopeng's predecessor, Li Tie is a person who is more active on social platforms. Every important node in life can be seen in Li Tie's Weibo. When it comes to the national football marshal, he is the same, but it is precisely because of an inappropriate voice that it becomes the last straw that crushes his position.
On November 17 last year, in the key match of Group B of the 2022 World Preliminary Round of 12 in Asia, the national team drew 1:1 with Australia, allowing the theoretical hope of qualifying to continue. Forcing the balance of the strong enemy could have temporarily calmed the many doubts hovering over Li Tie and the coaching staff. However, after the game, Li Tie issued a half-hour-long "spit": "If these two games are played in Suzhou, we may get six points!" "For Chinese football, including the players of the national team, I dare say that no one knows them better than I do." ...... This has once again sparked a lot of discussion from the outside world. What is even more inflammatory is that the next day, the pictures distributed by Li Tie's Weibo are not only suspected of "carrying goods", but also directly infringe on the rights and interests of the sponsors of the national football team. Since then, there have been more "fierce materials" about Li Tie that have been broken by the media, which has made Li Tie once scolded on the hot search, which also led to Li Tie's dismissal.
The Jimu News reporter saw that Li Tie's last Weibo post stayed on December 16 last year at Shenyang Taoxian Airport. Li Tie, who returned to his hometown, wrote: "End a precious journey, thank you all. Compared with the spirit when he became the head coach of the national football team on January 5, 2020, such a confession has more than enough emotions.
Li Xiaopeng has been suspended for ten years
Compared with Li Tie's Weibo's 4.745 million followers, Li Xiaopeng's fans are only 1.219 million; a Weibo re-evaluation, Li Tie is 1.09 million, Li Xiaopeng is only 100,000. What is even more incredible is that Li Xiaopeng's Weibo has been suspended for ten years. The last Weibo was left when Li Xiaopeng was the head coach of the Chinese women's football team.
The Weibo post was posted on May 21, 2011, when Li Xiaopeng wrote: "Yesterday the Chinese women's football team and New Zealand had a warm-up match, and the score was 1-0. I want to say yes, thank you! The girls are empowered and wish them a good performance in the league! Thank you to the fans and media who gave the women's football team a show, thank you for supporting the Chinese women's football team! Judging from the expression on Weibo, this is more like an official statement and statement. Four months later, Li Xiaopeng resigned as the head coach of the Chinese women's football team, and he was only in office for more than a year.
This was the beginning of Li Xiaopeng's less successful coaching career, after which he served as the head coach of Qingdao Zhongneng and Shandong Luneng, and won the title of best coach of the Chinese Super League twice in the 2018 and 2019 seasons. During this period, he also served as the general manager and deputy general manager of Shijiazhuang Yongchang and Shandong Luneng Football Club. Before officially becoming the head coach of the national football team, Li Xiaopeng was the executive deputy general manager and head coach of Wuhan Football Club. Despite so many experiences, Li Xiaopeng has never spoken out on Weibo.
After the Chinese Football Association officially announced that he would be the head coach of the national football team, Li Xiaopeng only made a public announcement twice, and was interviewed by all the media groups in the face of CCTV interviews and the first training session. In the future, this may be the normalized way for Li Xiaopeng to speak out.
Leading the team well is the most important thing
As the head coach of the national football team, whether he can speak out through social platforms does not have hard rules at the level of the Chinese Football Association. However, like Li Tie, who frequently "crossed the line", it exposed the loss of position in the management of the head coach of the national football team. Of course, for the head coach of the national football team, the most important assessment criterion is the result, after all, leading the team is the right way.
The reason why Li Tie has been attacked by all sides, in addition to improper voice, is that the results of the national football team are not satisfactory. In the first six rounds of the past round of 12, Li Tie led the national football team to achieve only 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses. At present, the national football team with 5 points has basically lost the initiative to qualify, and it is only a matter of time before it is out. What is even more disappointing is that many problems exposed by Li Tie in the coaching process, such as the positioning of the team and the selection of the lineup, have shown great deviations and missteps, especially in the use of naturalized players, which has caused questions from the outside world.
For Li Xiaopeng, the biggest problem in front of him is not whether he can lead the team to create a line miracle, but how to let the national football team show a side that is in line with its strength in the next game, so as not to blindly shrink and be beaten when encountering strong teams, and wavering between attack and defense when facing weak teams. In this regard, Li Xiaopeng also knows it, "Strive to make all the team members have some good play, and can kick their own things out." Because the match with the Vietnamese team was held on the first day of the Chinese New Year, Li Xiaopeng also said that he hoped that the national football team would not drop the chain during the New Year and give the fans across the country a satisfactory answer.
