The round of twelve matches is all over, because the return trip still needs to be finalized, and the national football team first returns from Muscat, Oman to Sharjah, UNITED Arab Emirates to rest.
On the morning of the 30th Beijing time, head coach Li Xiaopeng continued his previous view of "not qualifying because of insufficient strength" in an interview with CCTV.
In his view, neither the local coach nor the foreign coach can save the national football team now, because the national football team needs a psychological master who can release the energy of the players.
Listening to Li Xiaopeng's talk, netizens have said that compared with the previous Li Tie's fearfulness, Li Xiaopeng is a "public relations manager", but it is a pity that the words are not leaky, and the national football team has been full of holes...
National football coach Li Xiaopeng.
Always want to win the lottery, the future will be worse
In the last game against Oman before and after the game, Li Xiaopeng was asked why the national football team did not qualify for the World Cup, and his answer was simple - "the strength is not enough." ”
In the face of questions from CCTV's "Football Night" column, Li Xiaopeng continued, "The strength in all aspects is not enough, whether it is a player or a team, all aspects are not hard enough. How the hard power of the national team comes from, I think many people know better than me. There is no need to expand on this. ”
He even made an analogy, "If we always want to win the lottery, the future may be worse." ”
In Li Xiaopeng's view, the players have done their best, "but one of the more terrible things is the numbness to defeat." Because everyone also recognizes that our strength really can't play others. This is actually a more terrifying point than losing. ”
"I certainly didn't think so at the beginning (the strength was not as good as the opponent), but when I played, especially after a few conversions, in fact, you can see that we can't keep up with their rhythm, and we have been led along, which is the gap in hard power. After multiple conversions, something is definitely wrong. ”
For the construction of the national team, Li Xiaopeng frankly said that in some aspects, "the spirit of some foolishness and moving mountains" is "the need for perseverance, the construction of the national team, what is going on." Maybe we hold out less and become too much. ”
What Li Xiaopeng said most in the interview was the word "difficult."
The need to instill a strong mindset
Li Xiaopeng took office for 76 days, led the team to play four games, 1 draw and 3 losses, from the performance point of view is very bad, Li Xiaopeng does not seem to have the ability to pinch the team in the short term, so what if you give him more time?
For this question, Li Xiaopeng did not give a clear answer, "I think that the confidence thing is still the hard power of the establishment, this is not something that can be changed by one person, or a team can change, or that dozens of people in the national team can change, I think there are still difficulties." ”
Of course, Li Xiaopeng and his coaching staff are still trying to lead the team, for the idea of leading the team during this time, Li Xiaopeng also explained to the outside world, "In fact, I have always wanted to cultivate the resilience of the team, not impatient, can not be humble, not impatient to complete a game." Take your stuff out, but it's still a little difficult. ”
He specifically mentioned that he invited Zheng Zhi to the coaching staff, "I invited Zheng Zhi to bring a strong thinking to the players. Including preparing for the match against Oman, then we have to win first, around winning to prepare, then finally losing we can sum up why we lost. ”
"From the perspective of the whole preparation, we must instill a strong thinking in the future. If everyone is afraid, it is a crash. ”
"I remember when we used to prepare for the game, every game was about how to win, and that was the primary goal. But now that I'm here, I feel that we actually haven't been able to participate in the World Series, and I don't think we can build on a psychological level. ”
Li Xiaopeng instructed Liu Yang.
National football needs a psychological master
For the topic of psychological construction, Li Xiaopeng believes, "I think if there is a psychological master now, it may be better to let our team members all be released." ”
In Li Xiaopeng's view, national football players have no way to play their abilities normally, "for many reasons, if 10 points is the bravest, 1 point is the safest, then our players will choose a score close to insurance." ”
"At that time, when I was talking to the leaders of the Football Association, including with the managers, I think it is good that the training ability of the national team players is now translated into 60% of the game."
"As I said, there must be a psychological master, and it is really not a tactical and technical problem now. Rhythm, habits are one aspect, and we have a lot of fragments that are actually good, but they don't last very well. ”
Continue to lead the team to play the Asian Cup?
After the end of the round of twelve, the important work of the future work of the national football team will be transferred to the 2023 local Asian Cup in the short term, and Li Xiaopeng clearly stated through the interview that his task of taking over the national football team is not to fight the fire in the top twelve, but to focus on the 2023 Asian Cup.
"From my point of view, when I come to pick up, the most important thing is next year's Asian Cup. I also discuss these issues with managers, and I feel very deeply. ”
"Now we must first truly accept and face the reality, and then we will improve and improve, if we cannot correctly evaluate, we will take a detour in the future." I'm very homesick, so I have to go home and see my family first. ”
However, it is difficult to find positive factors in leading the team for four games, from the process to the result, and if the management department still lets Li Xiaopeng continue to lead the team, this is obviously an extremely funny and absurd decision.
