4 and a half years and 5 coaches 4 changes in management: the starting lineup has to be reported for instructions
On January 28, Beijing time, the Chinese men's football team was eliminated in the group stage of the Asian Cup, with 0 wins and 0 goals.
The national football team had the worst record in the Asian Cup, and the media and fans criticized Jankovic's coaching ability and questioned the performance of the international players, but the famous journalist Ma Dexing pointed out a deeper reason.
First of all, the management of the national football team has changed many times. For the first time, it was a working group specially set up from the Chinese Football Association to a higher management department. The second time was to return to the Chinese Football Association from the working group.
The third time is another leading group specially established by a higher level of management to directly direct and inquire about the work of the national football team, and during this period, the national football training list needs to be reported for review, and even the starting 11 people of the game need to report to the person in charge of the leading group for instructions!
For the fourth time, the management of the national team returned to the hands of the Chinese Football Association. The management model has been repeatedly changed so many times, I am afraid that it is unprecedented in world football, and the frequency of coach changes in this direct national football team has reached the highest in history!
Ma Dexing pointed out that from Lippi's resignation to Cannavaro's temporary tenure, from inviting Lippi back to Lippi's resignation and Li Tie's succession, and then from Li Xiaopeng's appointment to nearly a year when no one took charge, until Jankovic was finalized in February last year. The national football team has changed five managers in four and a half years, and Jankovic suffered the worst defeat since the team's 13 Asian Cup appearances after 10 months in charge.
In addition, in the past three years, Asian teams have been actively preparing for the competition and actively participating in various warm-up matches. From 2020 to 2022, except for a total of 14 matches in the top 40 and top 12, the national football team has not participated in any official international A-level matches. Everyone is affected by force majeure, but compared with the football associations of other countries, the Chinese Football Association is obviously doing nothing.
