In the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese team was shortlisted for the first time, as a World Cup "newcomer", the Chinese team was "very lucky" to be assigned to the same group as the five-star Brazilian team at that time. At this time, the five-star Brazil gathered heavyweight stars such as Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Cafu and so on. And Brazil's big brother is still more taken care of when playing against the Chinese team, only scoring three goals to collect the troops. It can be said that it has given enough face to the national football team. The head coach of the Brazilian team at that time was Scolari, an old acquaintance of Chinese football.
Football is a wonderful thing, who could have imagined that in 2015, the "stubborn old man" Scolari signed a contract with Guangzhou Evergrande, the hegemon of Chinese football at the time, became the head coach of the team, and also opened the great cause of coaching the Triple Crown of evergrande league, and won the most important Asian club Champions League laurel in one fell swoop, once again canonized! Highlight's performance naturally attracted the attention of the Football Association, at this time, the national football team under the leadership of foreign coach Perrin achieved brilliant results in the 2015 Asian Cup, so that the Football Association once again firmly followed the route of hiring foreign teachers. Then the national team ushered in the "Silver Fox" Lippi, but the good times were short-lived, and the poor performance of the World Preliminary Players completely angered the old coach and resigned in anger. At this time, Scolari very much wants to take over the position of national football coach, and has also publicly expressed his willingness to coach the Chinese team. After all, he knew Evergrande players and Chinese football very well, and the national team at that time was formed with Evergrande players as a team. Unfortunately, at this time, the FA team changed, Chen Shuyuan took office as the president of the FA, and in the face of Scolari's air shouts, the FA did not consider him, let alone issue an invitation to him.
The national football team has declared defeat in the 2022 Qatar World Cup. But the controversy over the use of naturalized players is still hotly discussed by fans until now, and this plan, which was promoted by Lippi at that time, was also adopted by the Football Association at that time, and implemented to half, such as Elkeson, Luo Guofu, Alan and other powerful players have been naturalized, which has also improved the strength of national football. Then, with the appointment of Chen Shuyuan, the naturalized players were gradually shelved, and the stronger Gaulat and Teixeira were also abandoned by the Fa Association! After all, this is what was left by the last Football Association, and it is normal to be overthrown by latecomers. But the key problem is that in the later World Preliminary Tournament, even if the national team's performance is not good, the head coach and the Football Association are under considerable pressure, still do not reuse naturalized players, so that fans are very confused, and even circulated a "document" on the Internet. It is stipulated above that the number of naturalized players playing in each game shall not exceed 3. What is even more infuriating is that on the court, domestic players collectively isolate naturalized player balls and do not give them passes, so inwardly, it is no wonder that the national football team is not as good as one.
The current situation of the national football team determines that if you want to enter the World Cup, this national team must be led by a foreign coach, and the blind confidence and paranoia of the Football Association to choose domestic coaches to coach the national football team's "faint move" has also refreshed the lower limit of the national team's performance. Unacceptable. Judging from the later results, if the Football Association chose Scolari to coach at that time, coupled with a number of Brazilian naturalized players, the paper strength of the Chinese team was definitely not weak, but unfortunately, when it held the two major advantages to choose, the Football Association once again missed. Before the Chinese team lost, it underestimated the opponent and overestimated itself. So what kind of explanation the Football Association will give to the fans across the country after summarizing and reflecting, we will wait and see.
