Original title: People are selected one after another, that is, there is no reliable, why is it difficult for the national football manager to give birth
On the first day of the new year, some media revealed the four criteria for selecting a coach of the national football team: familiar with Asian football, able to get started quickly, with experience in leading teams in major international competitions, and foreign coaches, at the same time, the media said that some excellent foreign coaches who have coaching experience in Asian football and even the Chinese Super League may theoretically become candidates. As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among all parties, and all fans, self-media, and insiders also speculated and recommended the suitable candidates in their minds, Stojkovic, Paulo Bento, Olaroyo, Queiroz, Petro... Almost every coach who can think of and has had intersections with Chinese football and Asian football has been "been" the favorite of the national football manager. A certain self-media just "only choose the right one, not the expensive one, the football association has locked XXX" has been used for several days, and each time it is only the name of the foreign teacher.
Cao Rui supported Olaroyo in this interview
In the past two days, as Zhejiang team entered the FA Cup final, Jody has become a "hot candidate" for many Chinese football coaches. Cao Rui, who led Nantong Zhiyun to successfully overtake, strongly recommended Olaroyu, who had worked with him, in an interview, and called him "the most suitable person recognized in the circle". However, whether it was Jodi, who had just renewed his contract with Zhejiang team, or Olaroyo, who was mentioned many times, they were immediately denied by other media people. Seeing that the time node for the national football team to finalize the new coach - before the Spring Festival, getting closer and closer, the national football manager has not had any definite news, it seems that the "alternative" temporarily led by Li Xiaopeng is likely to become a reality.
Why is the national football manager difficult to give birth? The main reason is the indifference of the football association. Since the elimination of the round of 12, the Chinese men's football team has entered a "dormant period", and for 9 months, the national football manager has always been an idle position, and the senior management of the football association has neither given a clear answer to whether Li Xiaopeng terminated his contract, nor seriously looked for a new coach, or even a direction for the selection of a coach. Of course, during this period, the Football Association did not move its mind, and the "shoulder picking" of the national Olympic coach Jankovic is one of the ideas, but with the postponement of the Hangzhou Asian Games, this plan is no longer possible to implement, not to mention, even Jankovic himself is not much interested in taking over the national football team. Until the end of last year, the Football Association began to seriously think about the selection of the national football manager, but caught up with the former coach Li Tie was taken away for investigation, making the national football manager a "hot potato", not to mention local coaches, like Pedro, Jody and other current foreign coaches of the Chinese Super League may not be willing to wade in this muddy water at this time, so this has the four criteria for the selection of coaches mentioned earlier. In other words, the national football team's re-focus on the foreign coach is not the result of long-term planning, but more like a "rush" in desperation.

In this case, the process of selecting the coach of the national football team will naturally not be too fast, not to mention, the Chinese Football Association has long lost the confidence when hiring Lippi, and it is difficult to offer a competitive price. The Olaroyo recommended by Cao Rui is a typical example. From the perspective of conditions, Olaroyo, who once led Jiangsu Suning to win the league championship and completely changed the style of Jiangsu football, meets the standards of the Football Association in all aspects, and he has previously hinted that he is willing to take over the Chinese men's football team. But on the one hand, his contract with Sharjah FC only expired in May this year, and the national football team may need to pay some compensation if it wants to recruit people, on the other hand, Olaroyo's annual salary must be at least more than 5 million US dollars, which is obviously not something that the Chinese Football Association can meet. In addition, Olaroyo, who is still owed wages by Suning, is himself somewhat disappointed in Chinese football, and the conditions of all parties cannot be met, and he will definitely not take over easily.
Qinghuang does not take it, the strength is not good and the lack of patience is enough, who is willing to take this job?
The head coach of the Chinese men's football team is arguably one of the most difficult positions in the world, the strength of the team is already poor, after the naturalized players gradually fade out, it lacks sufficient competitiveness in Asia, but the attention and requirements in all aspects are not low, and the slightest mistake may lose the job. In this case, who is willing to take over without the temptation of high salary? Don't forget that with the end of the World Cup, there are not many national teams looking for new coaches, why should people choose the national football team? It is revealed that the Football Association has indeed contacted some favorite candidates during this period, but the prices offered by the other party are far beyond the scope that the Football Association can bear, and naturally there is no following. Of course, the most fundamental reason for the difficult birth of the national football manager is still the old problem - too hasty to achieve quick results, lack of long-term planning, and lack of patience, always focusing on the victory or defeat of a certain competition or even some competitions, it is impossible to let him build his own system and style in five years according to his own vision like the Vietnam Football Association trusts Park Hengxu. In fact, Cao Rui also talked about this in an interview: "Sometimes Chinese football is too eager to achieve quick results, and the team at the national team level needs to be given more time, it is not like in the club can train every day, players and coaches can meet every day." ”
Due to the regrouping of the new national football team after the Spring Festival, the plan to go to New Zealand for the international break at the end of March has long been determined, and in theory, the new national football manager obviously needs to be confirmed before this, but at present, it seems that this work may not be able to stop before the Spring Festival as previously envisaged. The "alternative" plan for Li Xiaopeng to temporarily lead the team formation and training work as the head of the Chinese coaching staff or training director is likely to become a reality. But if this is the case, the effect of the first training and warm-up of the new national football team will definitely be greatly reduced. The national football team, which has always been jokingly called "the first to prepare for the World Cup", is afraid that it will fall behind again this time.
