Marcello Lippi has twice served as the head coach of the Chinese national football team. He became the head coach of the Chinese national team again in 2016 and coached the Chinese team to the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in Russia and the Asian Cup. In November 2019, Lippi announced his resignation as head coach of the Chinese national football team after several matches.
In a statement announcing his resignation, Lippi mentioned that he believes he cannot contribute more to Chinese football and is disappointed with his coaching performance. He also said that during his time coaching the Chinese national team, he has experienced many difficulties and challenges, and although he has tried to change the team's form, the performance of the players has not been satisfactory.
Some media outlets have also reported that the reason why Lippi left the Chinese national team may be related to his salary. Lippi's annual salary in the Chinese national team is as high as 18 million euros, which is a very high salary in football. However, his coaching performance did not meet the expectations of the Chinese Football Association.
Lippi's resignation as head coach of China's national soccer team may be due to a variety of reasons. The following are possible analyses:
- Poor team performance: The Chinese national football team did not perform well under Lippi's coaching. Poor performance in several important races, which can cause Lippi to lose confidence and motivation.
- Communication issues: Lippi may have communication issues within the team. Both Chinese football culture and language are different from the European culture and language that Lippi is familiar with, which may lead to poor communication between Lippi and the players.
- Salary issues: Lippi's annual salary is up to 18 million euros, which is a very high salary in football. However, Lippi's coaching performance did not meet the expectations of the Chinese Football Association. As a result, Lippi may feel stressed and uneasy and eventually choose to resign.
- Difficulties and challenges: Lippi faced many difficulties and challenges during his time coaching the Chinese national football team. This includes understanding Chinese football culture, communicating with players and dealing with media attention. These may leave Lippi feeling frustrated and powerless.
To sum up, Lippi resigned as the head coach of the Chinese national football team for many reasons, but seeing some recent reports of the national football team, Li Tie went in, and a large number of moths were implicated, and I felt that Lippi was more than enough and lacked strength. Mr. Wen Yiduo's "Dead Water" "This is a ditch of desperate backwater, the breeze can't blow the slightest ripple" can truly reflect most people's attitude towards the national football team.
