Li Xiaopeng is a controversial football figure. Online reviews are mixed. As the only local manager who has coached both women's and men's teams, Li Xiaopeng should have a bright future. 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. May end a coaching career.
Li Xiaopeng was born in 1975 in Qingdao, a famous football city, and entered the Shandong youth team from a young age. After the start of the professional league in 1994, Li Xiaopeng spent most of his time as the main right midfielder of the Shandong team, except for his first season.
Li Xiaopeng's 12-year Luneng career has scored 41 goals in 217 appearances for the team, winning 1 league championship and 3 FA Cup titles.
Li Xiaopeng has been selected for the national team many times and represented the Chinese team in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. On November 20, 2005, Li Xiaopeng announced his retirement.
Li Xiaopeng was Luneng Taishan No. 8 when he was a player, full of physical fitness, solid basic skills, skilled at his feet, and was one of the few players who played with his brain. In addition, Li Xiaopeng is low-key and modest, with high emotional intelligence, whether in the club or the national team, he can always be at ease.
In the Yin Tiesheng era, Li Xiaopeng's first outstanding appearance was when the all-Chinese class Shandong Taishan won the FA Cup in 1995. In 1995 at Nanjing Wutaishan Stadium, Li Xiaopeng scored a winning header for Taishan and won the FA Cup 2-0 against Shanghai Shenhua, a giant team in Nanjing, at the time when Li Xiaopeng was only 20 years old. Li Xiaopeng, who turned 20, began to emerge.
Shandong Luneng took over the Shandong Taishan team, changed its name to Shandong Luneng Taishan team, and put forward a grand plan to build a century-old football club. In 1998, he hired South Korean coach Kim Jong-nam as the first head coach, opening the era of Luneng hiring foreign marshals. These foreign coaches Santraci and Tubakevic are successful coaches. Santraci took over Shandong Taishan for the first time in 1999 and won the double championship in one fell swoop, opening the era of Luneng strong team.
Tubakovic, one of the meritorious coaches of Luneng Taishan, successfully transformed the Taishan team from defensive counterattack to offensive suppression, coupled with a lot of investment in the Taishan team during his coaching, many excellent domestic players Li Jinyu Zhengzhi came to the Taishan team, opening the era of the gorgeous offensive of the Taishan team, in the country only win the score you do not win, the scene also crushes you. 06 was the pinnacle, setting a number of records. Tuba can make a group of people who have played defensive counterattacks for many years play very good-looking. Illustrate, the coach's problem, is greater than the player's problem. Because of the same group of players, Tuba can make the so-called bad brother kick not to mention mercury, but at least the wind is up. Whether it's easy to use or not, how a team plays depends on the manager. Just like the same ingredients and different chefs, they will make different tastes.
Li Xiaopeng, who has experienced the training of famous coach Santracci and other trains, has improved his ball skills a lot, and Tujukovic's tuning has benefited Li Xiaopeng a lot.
Li Xiaopeng's second outstanding appearance was to replace Li Ming in the World Cup
When Milu was the manager of the Chinese team, Li Xiaopeng replaced the injured Li Ming, and on August 25, 2001, he hosted the United Arab Emirates in the first match of the national football top 10. Milou had already determined the starting line-up before the game, and Li Ming was the main right-back. But the night before the game, Li Ming approached Milu and said that he had strained his thigh during training and could not play, which was later confirmed by the team doctor. Milu had no choice but to temporarily change the formation and arrange for Li Xiaopeng to start. As everyone knows, Li Xiaopeng's performance is amazing, opening the scoring for the national football team after the opening 2 minutes, and providing an assist for Qi Hong in the 19th minute, which is the number one contributor to the national football team's 3-0 opener.
In the following game, Li Xiaopeng continued his excellent form in the first game, firmly seized the opportunity to become the starting right midfielder, he was good at attack and defense on the right side, and the right channel formed by Sun Jihai became the main initiator of the national football attack. It can be said that Li Xiaopeng is the biggest discovery of the national football top ten competition, and Li Ming has been completely reduced to a substitute.
After retiring, Li Xiaopeng began her coaching career, and in 2009, she coached the Shandong women's football team and won the fourth place in the National Games;
In 2010, she became the manager of the Chinese women's football team, but resigned after losing the Olympic Games;
In December 2013, he served as the head coach of Qingdao Zhongneng Team;
In January 2015, he served as the general manager of Shijiazhuang Yongchang Club;
Li Xiaopeng's third outstanding appearance was in December 2015, when he served as the deputy general manager, technical director and head of the Chinese coaching staff of Shandong Luneng Taishan Club; In December 2017, Li Xiaopeng became the head coach of Shandong Luneng Taishan Team, and then won the 2018 and 2019 Chinese Super League Best Coach Awards for his excellent coaching performance;
In October 2020, Li Xiaopeng stepped down as the head coach of Shandong Luneng Taishan. On December 27, 2020, Wuhan Zall Professional Football Club officially announced that Li Xiaopeng was officially appointed as the head coach of Wuhan Zall team and concurrently served as the executive deputy manager of the club. The results of leading the team under Zall Li Xiaopeng are not good, it can be said that they are very average.
Li Xiaopeng coached Shandong Luneng Taishan team, reached the FA Cup final for two years, and lost the championship in both years. Especially in the final of the 2019 FA Cup, Shandong Taishan lost 0-3 against Shanghai Shenhua, and Li Xiaopeng was beaten by the "three stuffy sticks". Recently, some people have speculated that Li Xiaopeng's "three stuffy sticks" are likely to be caused by Jin Jingdao? On the Internet, there is "Little gold scale, although small pressure a thousand pounds! Is Li Xiaopeng wronged by three sticks? Fans: Strict investigation of the unicorn arm" article also has this inference.
As the only local manager who has coached both women's and men's teams, Li Xiaopeng should have a bright future. However, due to the East Window incident of Li Tie's case this time, and the former women's football team and Taishan team coach 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 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 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 Football Association's approach was even more exceptional, and even the official thanks for Li Xiaopeng's departure did not say a word. It can be seen that the Football Association's disrespect for local managers is not ambiguous at all!
Li Xiaopeng was kicked by the Football Association, and he didn't hear a sound.
Li Xiaopeng's encounter is determined by his personal character, always want to be a good person, show his high emotional intelligence, will not refuse, will not boldly shout no? Perhaps this is the tragedy of people with high emotional intelligence, no fighting spirit, most scruples, swallowing anger, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens to be obedient good people. Chen Jiayuan and other people in power of the Football Association used his character flaws to bully him. Let him be a scapegoat and carry the black pot.
Li Xiaopeng replaced Li Tie as the head coach of the national team, and it was rumored that it was arranged by the General Administration of Sports. The Football Association's favorite candidate is a foreign coach, not Li Xiaopeng. In this way, the Football Association will not let the national team play well, and also indirectly hit the leadership of the General Administration of Sports. The national team is formed, and the leadership of the selection of players is in the hands of the Football Association.
Li Xiaopeng took over the team and set up a coaching team of more than ten people, which was also criticized by world famous coach Lippi and others. Li Xiaopeng couldn't control the coaching staff and the players. The captain of the national football team dodged the ball on the field of play and failed to defend his position. The goalkeeper made a series of mistakes. However, Li Xiaopeng does not have the right to decide whether the players play or not.
Chen Jiayuan is an anti-naturalized player, reaching the level of a sick pregnancy, and the first thing he did after taking office was to re-turn Delgado into a foreign aid, thus making an international joke that Delgado is a foreign aid as long as he plays football at any football club on the planet;
In the national team, he also did not ask for naturalized players, he was afraid that the naturalized players would perform well and hit his stinky face. Li Tie was not allowed to naturalize the players, nor was Li Xiaopeng used them. Li Xiaopeng's performance in leading the team is not good, and it has nothing to do with him, the person behind the pot is the head coach Li Xiaopeng, and the slap in the face is the leader of the General Bureau who chose Li Xiaopeng as the head coach. Losing to Vietnam on the first day of the new year, adding blockages to the Spring Festival of the people of the whole country, netizens understand what is going on.
Recently, fans have continued to see Li Xiaopeng rubbing dogs in the community, living a casual life unrelated to football. It seems that Li Xiaopeng is dead set on football. It may have made the Football Association heartbroken, coupled with the 1-3 loss to Vietnam on the first day of the New Year, which not only added to the blockage of the Spring Festival of the people of the whole country, but also lost their self-confidence.
Finally, we hope that Li Xiaopeng will go out to learn the world's advanced football knowledge and theory, accumulate thick and thin, and start all over again.
