On March 31, Milu, the former national football coach and the only time he led the Chinese men's national team to the World Cup, accepted an exclusive interview with domestic "live bar" netizens, in which, when asked about the employment of the national football coach, Milu bluntly said:
"As for the choice of head coach, I think it is possible to hire a foreign teacher who is not only strong in coaching ability, but also able to adapt to different cultures. If it is a local coach, then it should be equipped with a high-level foreign consultant, such as me, haha."
From the perspective of results orientation, Milu is the only successful person among the national football coaches - whether it is the concept of "happy football" and "attitude determines everything" that he brought that year, or the result of finally rushing into the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, it can be said that from the concept to the process, to the highest goal to be achieved, Milu has created a peak page in the history of Chinese football when he leads the Chinese team.
Of course, it is such a world-class meritorious coach who has led four national teams, reached the round of 16 of the World Cup for four consecutive years, and has also led the national teams of China, Honduras, Jamaica and Iraq, and brought good results, but after leading the Chinese team to play the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, he was quickly dismissed - this is the source of this, and the Chinese people know it well.
In fact, among the foreign coaches of the national football team, in addition to Milu, it is still difficult to say that it is more successful - Lippi should be regarded as the second best foreign coach with the national football team, he took over Gao Hongbo in 4 games, 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 12 rounds, bringing out the result of 6 games, 3 wins and 2 draws and 11 points, and until the end of the last game, there is still a theoretical possibility of winning the third place - in the end, it is only 2 points less than the Syrian team that qualified for the play-offs.
However, when leading the team in this national football team, seeing the performance of the men's football team in the top 40 matches, Lippi published such as "no courage, no hard work, no courage, no personality, fearful hands and feet"; "can not pass continuously, can not launch a successful operation, no heavyweight players can provide support"; "I am not willing to grab this hundred million yuan of annual salary", so he resigned in anger.
Since then, the national football team has made up its mind not to ask for a foreign coach - this is why Li Tie first played the second half of the top 40 match, and then got a 5-year national football coach contract, obviously, the Football Association has decided that for a long time in the future, it will take me as the main "only local manager".
This is also why, after Li Tie lost embarrassingly to Australia and Japan in the first two games of the round of 12, he was able to say confidently and passionately at the post-match press conference that "the national football coach must be played by Chinese..."
Unfortunately, Li Tie finished 6 games, and still with the help of the four major naturalizations, he only accumulated 5 points - 11 points from the 6 games of the belt, a difference of nearly half, and the national football team can say goodbye to the World Cup finals at this time.
Li Xiaopeng, who temporarily held the Buddha's feet on the bench, is still a continuation of the "only use of local coach thinking", under the original difficult conditions, the team lacks the goal of pursuing the qualification and enterprising, 4 games, 1 draw and 3 losses li Xiaopeng, and even by some fans think that "it is better to use Li Tie".
But in fact, "two Li" is only half a pound and eight two, if you give Li Xiaopeng the time to run in like Li Tie, it is estimated that he will not lead the team so badly, but if you want to surpass Li Tie and reach the level and achievements of Lippi's last session, it is almost unimaginable.
In fact, after Lippi took the initiative to "not want to grab money" and left, Scolari, the Brazilian World Cup champion coach who led the team at Evergrande and won the Chinese Super League championship and the AFC Champions League, had contacted the national football team and was very eager to take over the position of chinese team coach, but Si Shuai's "I was bent on the bright moon" failed to get any response from the national football team.
Many people will certainly say that at the current level of the national football team, in the next ten years, no matter who brings him, it is difficult to get good results; it is better to do a good job in basic work such as youth training - this is also difficult to oppose.
However, the basic work of football such as youth training must indeed be solidly promoted year after year, but we cannot give up the national football team because of this - after all, no matter how poor the conditions and the foundation are, the various games of the national football team still have to be played, right?
Since you still have to participate in the competition between the national teams, how to make the strength and achievements of the national team reach their own ceiling on the existing basis, which is obviously the most important point, that is, to have a good coach!
It can be said that the "two Li" of the national football coach this time is already the ceiling of the local coach, but in this trial and error process, the real gold content of the two has been tested at once, which also fully explains the local coach cultivated in the level and environment of Chinese football, and at present, in the past ten years, it is the highest ceiling level of Li Tie and Li Xiaopeng.
Therefore, if you let the local coach lead the national football team, it can only be said that such an approach is basically equivalent to "breaking the jar and breaking the can".
Therefore, at the level of national football, in order to achieve better results than the current local coach at the current level, it is still only a way to ask the foreign coach - this is the reason why Milu first thinks that the national football team wants to ask the foreign coach, even if it is for the vanity mentality of the so-called "I am the master of the territory", it is still only the local manager, and it must be as Milu said, "I have to ask a high-level foreign teacher as an adviser".
Now look back at Li Tie's sentence that "the national football coach must be played by Chinese" - first, in terms of logic, it does not make sense. There is really no such "universal truth" in world football, even if it is a national team that has won the World Cup in Europe, everyone has the experience of asking foreign teachers, not to mention the Chinese football in the world football depression?
Second, there are always people who think that Li Tie's words refer to "characteristic Chinese football culture", that the local coach can better adapt to the local culture, can unite the team, and achieve "unity like iron", but in fact, li tie really did it? On the contrary, it is not as good as Milu in the past, and it can jump out of the circle of local culture and tame the national football team.
In fact, his main purpose is to use this kind of tall "sentimental slogan" to find for himself a "shield" that others cannot criticize.
Just think: if Lippi resigned, instead of being confined to the narrow thinking of "no foreign coach, only local", but using Scolari, who just left Evergrande football, plus four players naturalized from Brazil, even if the conditions and environment are difficult, but believe in the final process and results, you can still expect and imagine, right?
Of course, if the manager is Brazilian, plus there are four Brazilian naturalized players - like Chen Huaren, a sports reporter at Jiefang Daily, he said, "If there are five or six people in the national football team who can't speak Chinese, I will smash the TV cloud in my home", right?
Looking at the Oman team with a population of only a few hundred thousand, there are 7 naturalized players in the squad, they have 1 win and 1 draw against the Chinese team, and their ranking in Asia is also in front of the Chinese team because of stepping on the national football team.
We don't want to use foreign coaches, but also reject the naturalization desire - "also want to stand and want to be", not to be thrown farther and farther away by world football, can we afford such a toss-up national football? 【Original Review: Yu said that hugh】
