At 1:00 a.m. Beijing time on October 13, the fourth round of the World Preliminary Round of 12 in Asia began to compete, and the Chinese men's football team challenged Saudi Arabia away. In the first half, Wu Lei lost a single knife, Najib won two yuan, in the second half Alain scored for the subsidy luo Guofu, Brycan expanded the score, and Wu Xi shot another goal. In the end, the Chinese men's football team lost 2-3 to Saudi Arabia, and the national football team won 1 win and 3 losses in the first four rounds, and Saudi Arabia won four consecutive wins.
In the starting lineup of this game, Li Tie changed to play 5 defenders again, but it turned out that Li Tie was wrong again, losing the offensive defense, that is, passively being beaten, and the national football team fell behind 0-2 at the end of the half. In the second half, with the play of Alain and Luo Guofu, the national football team was able to control the ball, and there was also an attack, and the defense line was much easier.
With substitution adjustments and tactical changes, the national football team has created more opportunities than Saudi Arabia. There were 5 shots on target, 4 of which were completed in the second half, but unfortunately the national football team lost 2-3 in the end, and the team finally paid the price for the tactical mistakes in the first half.
After the game, Li Tie's dismissal became a hot search term, which also showed that fans wanted to "kill" Li Tie to thank the national people; there is no doubt that Li Tie is a mediocre coach, his platoon deployment is too rigid, the ability to adjust the on-the-spot command is close to zero, and there is no clear standard for selecting and employing people. And what he is most criticized for is his use of naturalized players, Axon, Luo Guofu, Jiang Guangtai, Alan and Fernando are all foreign players who have spent a lot of money on naturalization in China, Fernando has been deeply injured and cannot be used temporarily, Axon and Jiang Guangtai are the absolute main force of the team, but Luo Guofu and Alain have been marginalized and cannot get their due tactical position.
And Zhang Xizhe, Yu Dabao and Yan Junling, no matter how bad the state is, can stably get playing time, such a principle of employment naturally causes everyone to be dissatisfied; as long as people with normal IQ know that the naturalized players are no longer in a state of decline, after all, "the skinny camel is bigger than the horse", they are still superior; whether it is against Japan and Saudi Arabia, it proves that the naturalized players can play an immediate role, and let Ikeson, Alan, and Luo Guofu form a joint force, which is undoubtedly the best offensive method in China.
Fans can see clearly, doesn't Li Tie, who is the head coach, not know? This is not the case, without the naturalization gang, Li Tie does have something difficult to say, because the Chinese men's football team needs to balance the interests of all parties. Li Tie is a domestic coach, with his ability it is impossible to go abroad to coach, once you leave the position of the head coach of the Chinese national team, domestic football is such a circle, if your interpersonal relationship is not handled well enough, it is undoubtedly a self-destructive future. Li Tie is mediocre but not stupid, he knows this well, so he employs people to more or less consider "taking care" of these domestic players; you look at the domestic players who have been questioned during this time, which one is not from a big club?
The world's famous coaches in China's Waterloo are not because of their ability, but because they cannot integrate into Chinese culture. Simply rely on high moral respect to manage, after a period of time everyone gradually familiar with the adaptation will die a very tragic death, the obvious example is the old marshal "silver fox" Lippi, is not there also a suspicion of being "killed"? Milutinovic, who is familiar with the "unspoken rules", is not the most famous, but he is the best one.
Personally, I believe that how to make the relationship between various interests within Chinese football more in line with the laws of professional football is more important than the result of a World Cup qualifier, and Chinese football needs to continue to make some efforts in solving the "relationship football".
