After the end of all the matches of the World Preliminary Round of 12, the Chinese men's football team is still in the UAE at this stage, due to the reasons of flights, when the national football team will return to China is still unknown. Li Xiaopeng bluntly said after missing the World Cup that the overall strength of the national football team is not enough, and he also made this point clear in an interview, that is, the team's hard power is insufficient, so it cannot enter the World Cup. However, for Li Xiaopeng's statement, Li Yi put forward his own different opinions.
The 10 matches of the national football round of 12 have achieved 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, and only 6 points have been scored, compared with the previous round of 12, 6 points less, and finally ranked 5th in the group. For the national football team, this result is not unexpected, even with naturalized players, the national football team only beat Vietnam 3-2, and the rest of the matches are difficult to win. Before the match against Oman, a reporter asked why the national football team did not qualify for the World Cup, and Li Xiaopeng's answer was that the strength was not enough.
After losing 0-2 to Oman, Li Xiaopeng once again said that the strength of the team was not strong enough, so there was a situation where only 6 points were scored. In an interview, Li Xiaopeng also gave his own explanation for the view of insufficient strength: "The strength in all aspects is not enough, we can't just talk about the players and teams, and the hard power in all aspects is not enough. It can be seen that the strength that Li Xiaopeng said is not simply the player's on-field strength, but also the comprehensive strength in all aspects.
Li Xiaopeng also mentioned that the training strength and game strength of players, many players can only play 60% of the training strength after playing, which is the biggest problem. In fact, Li Xiaopeng said very realistically, very directly, this is indeed the current situation of Chinese football, and Li Xiaopeng is not aimed at a certain person, this is also the status quo of Chinese football, the strength is not enough, in the face of Asian strong teams and even teams of equal strength, the national football team can not show their own level, resulting in unsatisfactory results.
However, Li Yi put forward a different view on this, he pointed out: "As a coach, never say that your team and players are not capable, because the coach's duty is to improve the comprehensive ability of the team and the players. Li Yi's point is very clear, that is, the coach cannot say that the strength of the team and players is not good, which is also a response to Li Xiaopeng's remarks. However, Li Yi's view has not been recognized by fans, many fans said that the strength is not good, in fact, Lippi also mentioned this problem.
So what's the problem with Chinese football? In the final analysis, strength is not good, and it is not developed according to the law, and Li Xiaopeng also mentioned this: "If we always want to come once like winning the lottery, then I think the future may be worse." "This is also the cycle that Chinese football has always had, always trying to take shortcuts, obviously unable to achieve the desired effect."
