The national football team suffered a humiliating defeat in Hanoi, Vietnam, not only the hope of qualifying for the World Cup was completely destroyed, but also the unbeaten record against Vietnam for 62 consecutive years was also tragically ended. On the occasion of the Spring Festival, the national football team has become the focus of discussion between the people of the whole country after tea and dinner, but it is more about their insults and complaints. It is reported that Alain and Luo Guofu have returned to Brazil after the end of the game, while Guangtai has returned to the United Kingdom alone, and other members of the national football team have chartered flights back to China.
After the fiasco of the national football team to Vietnam, head coach Li Xiaopeng took the initiative to take full responsibility. Li Xiaopeng said that he apologized to all the players and fans that the loss was mainly due to problems in the design before the game, which could not be remedied in the follow-up, and the score could not be accepted. Compared with Li Tie, Li Xiaopeng did not throw the pot, which is indeed commendable to fans. But obviously, Li Xiaopeng's statement can convince fans. In the two world preliminary matches against Japan and Vietnam, the national football team played in a disorderly manner, there was no technical tactics to speak of, and Li Xiaopeng's presence in the game was very bottom. Losing to Japan, the fans can still accept, losing to Vietnam, the fans' bottom line is completely broken. At present, there are already many fans on the Internet calling on Li Xiaopeng to quickly leave the class, and they have also listed several candidates for the new head coach of the national football team, such as Zheng Zhi and Sun Wen, and even some fans have suggested that Li Tie regain the helm of shuaiyin.
However, the reality may be disappointing for fans. According to media disclosures, Li Xiaopeng's position as commander is temporarily safe. The last two games of the national football team have been played like this, although Li Xiaopeng has a certain responsibility, but the fundamental reason is that the national football team is not as good as others. In addition, Li Xiaopeng only took over this national football team in December last year, and the national football team was only regrouped in January, leaving Li Xiaopeng with a very short time, and he simply did not have time to fully understand this national football team. At the end of next month, the national football team will also have two world preliminary matches with Saudi Arabia and Oman, although these two world preliminary matches have lost their meaning, but they cannot break the jar, and the national football team still wants to win or draw these two teams, and now the change of coach is obviously inappropriate.
According to the previously available information, the Football Association finally wants to find a foreign coach to coach the national football team, because the position of the head coach of the national football team involves too many interests and human feelings, and only by letting the foreign coach coach can some unnecessary things be avoided. Li Xiaopeng may also know that he is a temporary worker. After the end of the round of 12, Li Xiaopeng is likely to resign on his own initiative. However, whether it is a foreign coach or a local coach, for the national football team, it is to change the soup without changing the medicine, and the previous experience of Lippi and Cannavaro has confirmed this. If the national football team wants to enter the World Cup, the most important thing is to do a good job in the youth training system and cultivate more football talents.
