On the afternoon of January 23, Beijing time, under the leadership of Chen Shuyuan, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, the Chinese men's football team set off from Shanghai and successfully arrived in Tokyo, Japan. Next, the national football team will make the final sprint for the 7th round of the World Preliminary Round of 12 away games with Japan on the 27th. However, just as the Sino-Japanese war was about to begin, there were "discordant voices" around the national football team.
On the evening of January 21, some media people broke the news on social platforms, saying that one of the main players in the Taishan team may leave the team in the new season, and the player who has unpredictable changes is not a foreign aid or the team's future star Guo Tianyu. This revelation immediately caused speculation and heated discussion among Shandong fans.
Soon, a number of media people followed up and broke the news that Shanghai Harbor intended to recruit 4 domestic players such as Taishan team Xu Xin, and was using the "domestic players' maximum salary + sponsorship contract conditions to recruit people".
If at this time the outside world is only discussed from the scope of business, then the next thing is becoming more and more complicated. Anecdotal rumors, Shanghai Harbor Club deputy general manager Sun Xiang, this time to the national football team as an assistant coach, take this opportunity to contact the Taishan team's international footballers, the harbor has contacted 4 Taishan players, so far only one person clearly said to go. The media people's appeal to "don't talk in a place like the national team" also seems to confirm Sun Xiang's use of his assistant coach to help the harbor to attract reinforcements.
It is reasonable to say that Xu Xin signed a 1 + 4 contract when he joined Taishan last year, although Shandong Taishan Club has the right of priority to renew the contract, but one premise is "through consultation and agreement between the two sides", if Xu Xin does not agree to the renewal of the contract for future development considerations, he is beyond reproach to leave Taishan to join other teams. As for whether the seaport side has set favorable conditions for Xu Xin's violation, in the absence of evidence, it is not convincing to rely on speculation alone.
In contrast, if Sun Xiang really uses the convenience of the national football assistant coach position to poach Taishan players during the national football training, it seems a bit "not to talk about martial arts", after all, the current national football team is equipped with a large number of local team coaches, if everyone does this, the national team will become incomparably chaotic. There is no doubt that in this matter, Shandong Taishan is the side of Zhanli, but on the other hand, this time Sun Xiang did not take the initiative to come to the national football team as an assistant coach, and if the harbor locked Xu Xin as a transfer target, even if Sun Xiang is not in the national team, he can also contact Xu Xin. In addition, according to the Shanghai media, the port operation of Xu Xin's transfer was long before the national team training. Therefore, if Sun Xiang continues to "public relations" during his teaching period in the national team, it can only be said that he did not recognize his role and did what he should have done at the wrong time and in the wrong place, and it cannot be said that he was premeditated and "public instruments for private use".
According to the latest report of football newspaper, Xu Xin's joining the harbor as a free agent is a foregone conclusion, but the aftermath of "Xu Xin's entry into the harbor" is obviously far from calming down. Compared with the "personal grudge" between the two clubs in Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Haigang, this incident has raised a series of questions about the internal relations of the national team and the legitimacy and rationality of the allocation of the national football coaching team.
Just when the "Xu Xin entered the port" storm was undecided, in the early morning of the 23rd, the national football team was involved in another controversial event. The Chinese Football Association has officially announced the list of 27-man national football team to play in Japan, and three naturalized players are listed, Luo Guofu, Alain and Fernando. According to the flight, the three of them had to fly from São Paulo, Brazil, to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, before connecting to Tokyo. However, when they arrived at Amsterdam Airport after a long flight, the airport notified that the flight to Tokyo on the same day was temporarily cancelled and instead of boarding the next day. In the case that the nearby hotels are all full and cannot be booked, they can only rest in the waiting hall of the airport, and Luo Guofu, who is very dissatisfied with this, simply posts on social media to bombard...
Although Luo Guofu's remarks aroused the sympathy of many fans and aimed the gun at the Chinese Football Association and the national football team, in fact, the Football Association could not predict the temporary cancellation of the follow-up flights of Luo Guofu and others, and after learning of this news, the Football Association has worked overnight to find a solution. In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, the relevant person in charge of the Football Association said, "The coaching team and working team of the national team have been in close communication and concern with the players through video links and other means, seeking various solutions, and expressing understanding and apologies for the emotional fluctuations caused by the cancellation of the flight." The national team has always put the work of protecting players in the first place, and will continue to do a good job in the protection of players in the future to ensure the smooth return of three players to the team. ”
Realistically speaking, no matter who encounters this kind of thing, the mood is understandable, but in the way of dealing with the problem, there is still a clear difference between Chinese local players and naturalized players, at least Chinese local players will not choose to "shell" the Football Association and the national team on social media. Of course, you can say that there are huge differences in concepts and cognition between the two because of cultural traditions and living habits, but more importantly, since they choose to naturalize in China, naturalized players should abide by the rules and regulations and codes of conduct of the Chinese team, and they can no longer consider themselves in a special capacity, whether on the field or off the field. You know, even if the Brazilian international in Europe encounters such problems when returning to the national team to report, it will never openly bombard the Brazilian Football Association and the Brazilian national team on social media, not to mention that under the epidemic situation, the epidemic prevention rules of various countries are different, and it is normal for this to happen.
On the evening of the 23rd Beijing time, Luo Guofu updated the social media, and the content was intriguing: only those who supported the process could achieve the goal.
Although the current "Luo Guofu shelling incident" has subsided, but just like "Xu Xin's entry into Hong Kong", its follow-up impact still exists, how to effectively communicate and manage naturalized players, how to coordinate the relationship between local players and naturalized players, is also a new issue in front of the new national football coaching team, because the blind arrogance of naturalized players will inevitably withstand corresponding reactions. Sponichi, a Japanese media that has been paying attention to the dynamics of the national football team, said in a post, "This matter will increase the difficulty of Li Xiaopeng managing the team." ”
If the current national football team is a big miscellaneous courtyard, then the national football coach Li Xiaopeng is undoubtedly the most authoritative member of this miscellaneous courtyard, and he is also the most core link in this relationship chain. Professional football is nothing more than two things: one is the management of the dressing room, and the other is the battle on the football field. Judging from Li Xiaopeng's coaching experience, compared to his football philosophy, his high IQ and high emotional intelligence seem to be more convincing, and this master key also helps him resolve and sort out the contradictions and relationships within the team. In particular, it is worth mentioning that in the history of the national team, the only manager who can be called successful is the "magic coach" Milu, who is also a clever relationshipist. If Li Xiaopeng wants his national team to burst out of the greatest combat effectiveness, perhaps many of the successful experiences of his former mentor Milu are worth learning from him.
Realistically speaking, after experiencing the "storm of changing Li Tie", the new national football team led by Li Xiaopeng still has certain expectations for this year's Top 12 Match: From a closer point of view, that is, in the current window of the international match day, the national football team should strive to ensure that it does not add to the blockage on the first day of the New Year; far away, strive to leave the field of this World Preliminary Round with dignity at the end of the 12 rounds at the end of March, even if it cannot stage the magic of the final four rounds of all-win counterattack, at least it must be very close to the points of the team that has qualified for the play-offs. During this period, what kind of performance the national team under Li Xiaopeng can have on the field and what kind of spiritual outlook can be displayed off the field also determines to a large extent the future development direction and planning and construction of the national football team.
However, since the "Li Tie incident", we have seen a lot of people who should not have been involved in the affairs of national football, and the forces that played the role of decision-makers have been involved. According to common sense, the affairs of a national team, whether big or small, should be communicated and solved by the Football Association, team officials, and coaches, but now, many affairs of the Chinese men's football team seem to be no longer "their own problems to solve", not only clubs are mixed in, but also Chinese football or hidden or existing factional forces are mixed in, and even the brokerage team behind the players is mixed in.
It must be said that for all those who are kind and have good wishes for the national football team, everyone should now understand that even if there is little hope of qualifying for the round of 12 of the national football team now, even if this team currently has no hard task and no clear goal in the long term, this does not mean that non-football forces can enter, so that this group that should be highly united becomes divided, or even collapses. In fact, compared with the national football team losing on the field, what is more discouraging is that the national football team has long lost to the entangled relationship. Therefore, at the moment of the war, we should not add chaos to the national football team.
