Whether Chinese football is a player or a coach is a question that fans have always wanted to figure out. It wasn't until Lippi coached the national team twice that the issue became clear.
Lippi is a world famous coach who once led Italy to win the World Cup, known as the Silver Fox. After Guangzhou Evergrande was unwilling to be in the Chinese Super League, it was fortunate to let the fans see Lippi come to coach. After Lippi coached Evergrande, he let the fans see what a world famous coach is. Lippi uses people to make good use of people and has good scheduling, so that fans never have to worry about watching Guangzhou Evergrande's matches. Lippi also completed Guangzhou Evergrande's grand goal after entering the Chinese Super League ahead of schedule. At this time, some fans are thinking: if Lippi is allowed to coach the national football team, can it eliminate the doubts that have existed in the heart for many years, whether Chinese football is not a player, or a coach?
When Lippi was preparing to coach Guangzhou Evergrande for the second time, Evergrande owner Xu Jiayin gave Lippi to the national team for the sake of Chinese football, and was also responsible for paying most of his salary. The national football team has a world famous coach to lead the team, if the results still do not improve, it really proves that Chinese football is not a player.
After taking office, Lippi was responsible for leading the team from the fifth round of the World Cup qualifying round of 12 in Russia. After 6 rounds, Lippi led the national football team to 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in 6 games, and finally missed the group by 1 point. When they saw this result, fans felt very sorry: if Lippi could take over the national team earlier, he might be able to see Chinese players in the World Cup for the second time.
Before Lippi, it was Gao Hongbo who led the team, 1 draw and 3 defeats in 4 games, which is really difficult to win. Lippi's six wins in three of his team were a 1-0 win over South Korea, a 1-0 win over Uzbekistan and a 2-1 win over Qatar. Lippi also gave Chinese players a lot of confidence, saying that as long as the national football players show confidence, they will not be afraid of any team in Asia.
In the 2019 Asian Cup 1/4 final, the national football team left the national football team for the first time after losing 3-0 to Iran's feet. Four months after leaving, Lippi once again took up the coaching whip of the national football team and has been responsible for leading the team from the top 40 to attack the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This time, Lippi was out of whack, winning only two of the first four games of the group stage, and after a 2-1 defeat to Syria, Lippi chose to leave again.
The first time he coached the national football team, facing strong teams such as South Korea and Qatar in the round of 12, he was able to achieve 6 wins, 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. The second time he coached the national football team, he played against the fish belly in the top 40 tournament, and it was difficult to win, why did Lippi suddenly fail? It wasn't until Li Tie was arrested, Chen Jiayuan was taken away, and many players were investigated, that he understood that all this was likely to be a bureau.
Why did Lippi have good results when he first coached the national football team, because the president of the football association at that time was still Cai Zhenhua. At that time, many players of the national football team were from Guangzhou Evergrande, and most of Lippi's salary was paid by Guangzhou Evergrande. That is to say, when Lippi first coached the national football team to play in the World Qualifiers, the players listened to him and were able to execute the tactics he laid out.
Lippi took office for the second time and led the team to play in the World Preliminary Tournament, just when Chen Jiayuan took office. At this time, Lippi can no longer control the team, so it will lead to a win is difficult to find. Look at the game against Syria, did someone sneak around? Lippi also saw the problem, so he preferred not to have a high salary and chose to leave, not to ruin his reputation.
As soon as Lippi left, who came up, it was Li Tie, who could not look at the naturalized players and used his position to buy and sell international quotas. Li Tie, a coach who has no results, how can he be selected as the manager of the national football team, the Dao in it, the hearts of the fans understand. Lippi is made off, which is convenient for Li Tie in the back to take the position.
Now that Li Tie, Chen Jiayuan, and many players have been arrested, it may just confirm the fans' speculation that everything is a game, and it is really a bunch of harmful spirits!
