The journey of the top 12 matches of the national football team has all ended, and six points have been scored in ten games, which is the true embodiment of China's football strength. After Li Xiaopeng took office, he only scored one point in four games, which was even more dismal than Li Tie's performance, and now many fans are calling on Chen Shuyuan to fire Li Xiaopeng and select a famous coach who truly loves Chinese football to lead the team to attack the United States, Canada and Mexico World Cup, which is less difficult to qualify after the next expansion.
But in fact, the question of whether Li Xiaopeng will leave class has already been answered in the recent CCTV "Football Night" program. Li Xiaopeng revealed in the program that in fact, when he took office, the football association gave himself the goal of not leading the national football team to qualify in the World Cup. The FA's goal is to hold the Asian Cup on home soil next year, and he said his task is to lead the team to play well in next year's Asian Cup. As for the World Preliminary Round, there are no performance requirements, which can be treated more easily. From these remarks, it can also be shown that Chen Shuyuan has no assessment standards for Li Xiaopeng's performance in the World Preliminary Round, so his position as a coach will certainly not be shaken.
Therefore, now that the top 12 has come to a dismal end, Li Xiaopeng has not shown too much frustration, after all, for him, his real task is the Asian Cup, and as for the results of the World Preliminary Round, it will not affect his job. Of course, Li Xiaopeng also said that if according to the current staffing and state of the national football team, no changes are made, next year's Asian Cup may be more dismal than the World Preliminary Round. Therefore, he also said that he would do his best to bring a new change to the team in the next year, so as to make a splash in next year's Asian Cup.
Judging from the current strength of the national football team, there are many players who are indeed not suitable for appearing in the national team's game, Wu Xi, Yu Dabao, Zhang Xizhe, Yan Junling and other veterans should also quit the national team, their attitude on the field is scattered, they can't make it, and they can't keep up with the rhythm of the game, which is the biggest cancer in this national football team. Li Xiaopeng's statement may be an ultimatum to these players, and in the next period of time, there will definitely be major changes in the personnel of the national football team, and there will also be drastic reforms.
It can be said that Li Xiaopeng's statement conveyed a wealth of information to the outside world, and the development strategy of the Chinese Football Association for national football has also surfaced. The moment he chose Li Xiaopeng, Chen Shuyuan actually gave up the hope of impacting the World Cup in his heart, but set his goal on next year's Asian Cup. Perhaps in his view, the influence of the Asian Cup held in China will be greater, and it is also a better opportunity for the national football team to impact good results, and the quality of the results will determine whether his face can be saved. Therefore, no matter how bad the results of Li Xiaopeng's team are in this World Preliminary Tournament, he will not leave class. After all, the Asian Cup is the real test for him.
I have to say that Li Xiaopeng is also a straight person. His words also revealed the reason why the national football team played worse than one in the World Preliminary Round, that is, the Football Association did not give Li Xiaopeng and the players any performance requirements, anyway, if they can't get out of the line, they can kick at will, and the players are willing to work hard to blame it. Although there is a temptation of bonuses, the international football team is not bad for this little money, so it has caused an ugly result in the round of 12 and an even more ugly scene.
