Recently, many media have been reporting on the news about the former national football coach Lippi, and one of the key plots is that when Lippi gave a speech at a university in Rome, in addition to reviewing his coaching of the Italian men's football team to win the World Cup, he also talked about his experience of coaching in China. Of course, comparatively speaking, it may be that for Lippi, a period of experience coaching Evergrande still has some value for him. Even from Lippi's speech, we know that the initial coaching opportunity of Evergrande was actually won by him. Because evergrande was looking at Hiddink at that time, but Hiddink had no interest in joining Evergrande, and as a result, Lippi took the initiative to mention when communicating with Hiddink that if you don't want to go, you can give me this opportunity. After all, Hiddink told Lippi at that time that Evergrande's salary for him was quite a salary of 10 million euros per year. This has a great appeal to Lippi. And the biggest reason he gave that he had the interest in coaching at Evergrande was because he felt that he had already taken all the honors he could get, and he could consider making more money for him.
Lippi's speech is indeed very pragmatic, but also very straightforward, he first came to Evergrande, the first reason is because he has achieved his dreams, if you want to play fanaticism, the first consideration has become a high annual salary, and the greatest sincerity given by Evergrande is also a high annual salary. Of course, at that time, for Evergrande itself is not bad money, the arrival of Lippi, but also a bit of worship, so in terms of reinforcements is also not bad money, coupled with the players' support for Lippi, including the club's support for Lippi is unprecedented, the players at that time, is really on a healthy track, at least from the club to the coaching team, to the players and outside public opinion, are a voice of support. So we see that Lippi has also achieved success at Evergrande. At that time, he seemed to be pushed onto the altar. The Chinese Super League champion and the AFC Champions League champion have brought Lippi's fan recognition and support in China to a new peak.
The success of coaching in Evergrande has also made all parties begin to imagine, is Lippi able to lead Evergrande to make a breakthrough, even to the top of Asian football, is it also possible to lead the national football team that can not be brought how to take it also has a qualitative leap and breakthrough? When this idea began to take more and more root from the hearts of all parties, Evergrande also stood up to complete the support of Lippi, although Lippi no longer coached Evergrande, but turned into a national football coach, but most of his salary was still paid by Evergrande Club. And Lippi coaches the national football team with an annual salary of up to 20 million euros. For domestic coaches, as well as other well-known managers, it is actually a bit of a sky-high price. For Lippi, of course, there is also a certain attraction. I believe that at that time, Lippi's possible results for such a position were also ill-prepared, and even he thought that the training level and training status of national footballers could really be directly transferred to the Asian and world arenas.
But obviously Lippi was wrong, he misunderstood the current situation of the national football team and the entire chinese football industry, and also misconfirmed where the highest point he could change for this team was. Although he once led the national football team, he was only one step away from the right to qualify for the top 12, and at that time, it seemed that if he did not take over halfway, Lippi ruo led the team at the beginning, and may even have led the team to successfully break through and join the ranks of World Cup teams. But looking back now, it was actually an illusion. To a large extent, even if Lippi leads the team from the beginning, there is a good chance that the team will fall short in the end. The Chinese Football Association, Lippi and the Chinese men's football team, together with the national football team to lead the national football team to the World Cup qualifying right, this time, Lippi was completely disappointed, and even he was a little angry, the performance of the players on the field, let him understand this team, not he can bring out the results with his efforts. Even if he successfully helped the national football team to start playing in the World Cup qualifiers in the form of naturalized players, there is still no sign of recovery. I believe that in the later stage of coaching the national football team, Lippi often vacations in various places, and does not choose to return to lead the team to train, which is already a choice he has made to see the reality. In the end, when there was no way back, he chose to give up his obsession with money, re-regulate his old age, and refused to stay in the position of chinese men's football coach for another moment.
In fact, Lippi just understood a lot of Chinese the truth that he has long understood, money is not omnipotent, Chinese football, sometimes it is really a thing that money can't do. What it needs is to improve in different aspects in all aspects to achieve a little progress. Nowadays, the Chinese Super League has even reached the point where it is difficult to do it if it wants to start normally. In this respect, Lippi was successful, at least his resignation, although it put the national football team in the middle of the road, made him retreat completely. However, the current national football team, the current Chinese Super League, where is the way out? If we don't scold, don't criticize and accuse, and help Chinese football and national football from a positive point of view, as well as the Chinese Super League, what contribution can we make to the development of Chinese football in the trough?
