Li Xiaopeng was promoted to a large number of soldiers for the first time after he became the head of the national football team, and it was a 52-person audition. Originally, after the end of the Chinese Super League, the preparation time left for the national football team was not much, but the new coach Li Xiaopeng did not appear to be in a hurry - first divided the 52 people into two groups and carried out 2 PK games, and then selected about 30 people to compete in the top 12 matches.
Looking at the timeline, the time left for the national football team to prepare for the battle is less than 16 days: the training camp began on the 11th, departed japan on the 23rd, and began to play the 7th round of the 12 round on the 27th.
It seems like 16 days, but in fact, the real preparation time is not so much. For example, on the 11th and 23rd, it is difficult to ensure really effective training, the players have just arrived, and more is the training of recovery and adaptability.
It is reported that the national football team is divided into two major teams, Li Jinyu and Chen Yang, and they will play 2 internal teaching matches successively, one on the 16th and another on the 20th. That is to say, after determining the final big list, the real joint training of the national football team may start from the 21st.
Originally less than 16 days of preparation time, the national football team also spent 9 days to engage in auditions, and the time left for Li Xiaopeng to really lead the team was less than 7 days. What is Li Xiaopeng doing?
Soldiers take a risky move! Li Xiaopeng's arrangement makes people understand: Is it the artist who is bold or in line with international standards?
Is 7 days of preparation time enough? If it is according to international practice, it is enough! In the last 12 rounds, Lippi, who did not like long-term training, almost did the same. The only difference is that during the coaching period of former national football coach Li Tie, the training time of more than a month was too short and felt that it was not enough.
I can't help but ask: With only 16 days of preparation time, why didn't Li Xiaopeng buy time, pick out the 30-man international football list from the beginning, and directly practice the lineup and formation in one step to enhance the tacit understanding of the national football team? Isn't that fragrant?
For this question, in an interview a few days ago, Li Xiaopeng suspected of responding. Talking about the training arrangement of the national football team, he said very sensibly that the current national football team should not rush to change anything, otherwise it will cause two negative results: one is to cause confusion in the thinking of the team members, and the other is to cause unexpected injuries to the team members.
That makes sense! According to this line of thinking, Li Xiaopeng's tactical playing style is very clear: either follow the kicking style of the national football team in Li Tie's period, or directly kick a traditional kicking style that local international footballers are familiar with - both sides of the bottom cross. This is the style of play that Li Xiaopeng used to play during his coaching period in Shandong Luneng.
There are only 7 days to lead the team, which is simply not enough time for Li Xiaopeng to polish a new set of tactical play, so simple take-ism is the smartest approach. From this point of view, Li Xiaopeng's thinking is still very clear, which is very different from Li Tie.
According to the idea of not being in a hurry, this is why the national football team recruited 52 people and competed in two groups. This made Li Xiaopeng, who was in a hurry to take office and did not have time to inspect players in various divisions of the Chinese Super League, kill two birds with one stone: it not only solved the big problem that the national football team did not have a warm-up match and the quality of the warm-up game was not high, but also achieved the purpose of inspecting the status of the players on the spot.
At first glance, Li Xiaopeng's arrangement is very difficult to understand, but when you understand the thinking logic behind him, you have to praise his arrangement.
