As the only local manager who has coached the Chinese women's and men's teams, Li Xiaopeng should have a bright future. However, due to the incident in the east window of Li Tie's case this time, and the former Chinese women's football team and Taishan team manager Hao Wei was also arrested, it directly affected the living space and reputation of the entire local manager of the Chinese Super League. Li Xiaopeng is naturally unable to escape this negative impact, if not, the 48-year-old is likely to say goodbye to Chinese football like Jia Xiuquan! Many fans bluntly said that although Li Xiaopeng did not go in, he was really miserable by Li Tie's case this time!
Li Xiaopeng, Hao Wei, Jia Xiu have all coached the Chinese women's football team, purely from the perspective of results, Li Xiaopeng's coaching performance is actually the worst. He officially took over the Chinese women's football team in August 2010. In the subsequent Olympic qualifiers, Li Xiaopeng led the Chinese women's football team to lose 0-1 to Australia and Japan in the key battle, which ultimately directly led to the Chinese women's football team not qualifying for the Olympic Games.
Subsequently, Li Xiaopeng voluntarily resigned as the manager of the Chinese women's football team after only one year in office. And the one who replaced Li Xiaopeng happened to be Hao Wei, who is now arrested. However, Hao Wei coached the Chinese women's football team, and there are no outstanding results, it can only be said that it is ordinary and passable! Because the Chinese Super League was in Jinyuan football at that time, Hao Wei gave up his position as the manager of the Chinese women's football team with a meager income under the recommendation of Li Tie, and went to Guangzhou Evergrande to open the road of no return.
Compared with Li Tie and Hao Wei, Li Xiaopeng's biggest advantage is probably his honest duty. This kind of character, to some extent, actually saved him. After leaving the Wuhan team, Li Xiaopeng became Li Tie's successor and officially took over the national football mess. And the reason why Chen Jiayuan chose Li Xiaopeng is because he is honest and will not talk indiscriminately like Li Tie.
Li Xiaopeng probably never imagined that after he coached the national football team, it would become a turning point in his entire career. Especially on the first day of the Chinese New Year last year, he led the national football team to a 1-3 defeat to Vietnam in the World Preliminary Round, which directly made him bear a lifetime of infamy. Although the national football team's crushing defeat of the Vietnamese team is not all Li Xiaopeng's responsibility, but he was the manager of the national football team at that time, whether temporary or official, fans will only remember Li Xiaopeng led the national football team to a 1-3 defeat to the Vietnamese team.
For leading the national football team to a humiliating record, Li Xiaopeng also became a scapegoat for the Football Association, not only criticized by fans, but also alienated by Chinese Super League clubs. When Jankovic took office, the Chinese Football Association's approach was even more exceptional, and even the official thanks of Li Xiaopeng for leaving office were not said. It can be seen that the Chinese Football Association's respect for local managers is not ambiguous at all!
It can be said that Li Xiaopeng's biggest regret should be to take over the mess of the national football team. If he hadn't taken over the national football team, the person who returned to the Taishan team now might not be Choi Kangxi, but himself.
Li Xiaopeng or become the second Jia Xiuquan
Since leaving the Chinese men's football team, Li Xiaopeng has almost disappeared for a year! During this period, even the Central A and Central B teams did not invite Li Xiaopeng to coach. I am afraid that his situation will be like Jia Xiuquan, gradually fade out of the mainstream league vision, and then choose to retire or go to the amateur league.
As for wanting to return to the Chinese Super League, Li Xiaopeng is estimated to be very difficult. After all, no one wants to invite a coach who has been questioned and blamed by fans to add pressure to the team.
From Li Xiaopeng to Li Tie, Hao Wei, and then to Jia Xiuquan, the situation of these four national coaches is really embarrassing. In addition to Jia Xiuquan, the other three have all won the best manager of the Chinese Super League! However, the 2 best managers were directly arrested, and the other 2 were ostracized by the mainstream leagues. Slightly luckily, Li Xiaopeng and Jia Xiuquan did not enter, otherwise China's local managers, especially the local managers of the national brand, may be devastated.
