In order to prepare for the last two matches of the World Preliminary Round of 12, Li Xiaopeng only gave the internationals a week off, and then began to assemble again. According to the "Beiqing Daily", the national football team that has just assembled has begun the "devil" training, which also makes the international footballers feel deeply tired. Moreover, the newspaper also said that similar high-intensity training will appear in most of the training days of this training session. Why, suddenly, Li Xiaopeng weighed the international footballers? I am afraid that this has a lot to do with his current situation, and the last 2 World Preliminary Games are probably "unsuccessful and become benevolent".
Fans who follow Chinese football know that after the former national football coach Li Tie was dismissed for some off-field reasons, Li Xiaopeng was still expected by fans. Although the fans do not ask Li Xiaopeng to help the national football team come back to life, they hope that Li Xiaopeng can bring a different spiritual outlook to the national football team. However, in the first two games led by Li Xiaopeng, the performance of the national football team was disastrous. Not only was he kicked by Japan powerless, but he was also weak and powerless against Vietnam, which disappointed the fans to the extreme. Therefore, some domestic media and media people have speculated that if the next 2 world preliminary matches, the national football team continues to continue the decline of the first 2 games, Li Xiaopeng's position is probably unstable.
At 16:00 Beijing time on March 5, Vietnamese media "Tech" reported that the Chinese Football Association has begun to consider hiring foreign teachers to replace Li Xiaopeng.
The media wrote: "Faced with the risk of being overtaken by Vietnam in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese Football Association is planning to hire a foreign coach to replace coach Li Xiaopeng, and the replacement of Li Xiaopeng will be an old acquaintance of Chinese Super League fans, former Shandong Taishan team head coach Magat." The media also said that magat had just rejected the invitation of the Kosovo team not long ago, and the reason for this may be that it received an invitation from the Chinese Football Association.
Although, we are not yet able to confirm whether the media report is true. However, Li Xiaopeng's guidance did fall into a desperate situation. After the defeat to Vietnam on the first day of the Chinese New Year, the fans were already furious, and the Football Association and the national team had come under great pressure. If, in the next 2 games, the national football team can not play out of the spirit. Then, under the condemnation of fans and the media, the Football Association may only be able to endure the pain of cutting love and find another good coach! And Magat is undoubtedly a good choice.
