On November 14, the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers in the Asian Top 40, Zhang Linpeng gave a gift at the last moment, and the national football team lost the initiative to qualify in a 1:1 draw with Syria. "Silver Fox" Lippi left the table in anger and immediately announced his resignation as head coach. Now, the new head coach of the national football team is about to be revealed, and it can be determined that this time it is a local famous coach.
According to information from multiple sources, it is basically a situation in which Li Tie, Li Xiaopeng, and Wang Baoshan choose one of the three. The famous football commentator Ma Dexing broke the news that due to the east Asian Cup extra points performance and strong desire to coach, Li Tie may officially become the head coach of the national football team after New Year's Day. No matter who is chosen in the end, controversy is inevitable. In fact, when it is decided to choose a local marshal, it is destined to occur "foreign land dispute".
◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆
1. The tushuai has limited ability but can "put out fires"
Local coaches understand players, are familiar with people's feelings, and are more likely to use means to manage players. Coaches, including Lippi, are always half a beat slower when faced with player management problems. When Lippi left his post in anger in November, it was reported that only Zheng Zhi came forward to persuade him, which was obviously not a manifestation of the general's heart. However, the technical and tactical level of local coaches is limited, coupled with the fact that the national football team will introduce more high-level naturalized players in the future, whether it can really manage the team will be doubtful.
From the current situation, we should choose a foreign coach with strong coaching ability. The national football team urgently needs to break through in the second half of the round of forty, break into the top twelve and even successfully reach the final round. The foreign marshal is at the helm, and the national football team is more confident of achieving the goal. This season, there are only 4 local coaches in the Chinese Super League, which is enough to prove that the outside world recognizes the ability of foreign coaches. However, the relevant parties stressed that revitalizing morale is the top priority, so they have always insisted on being led by local coaches. In fact, from the perspective of long-term development, we should unswervingly take the route of tushuai.
2. Each foreign marshal leads the way
Every foreign coach has his own coaching style. German Klaus Schlapner, the first foreign coach in the history of national football to actually lead the team to play football. Schlapner advocates the "leopard spirit", injecting some strong elements into Chinese football, and the national football team is also dominated by high and large players. Chinese football meritorious foreign coach Bola Milutinovic, who advocates the concept of "happy football" and relieves pressure from all aspects to deal with problems. The rhythm of that national team was well controlled, the rapid counterattack was also very smooth, and the simple and fast tactical style was always implemented.
Camacho, the 26th head coach of the national football team, emphasized tactical discipline and the fighting spirit of the game. His coaching style is slightly "thick lines", paying attention to using abundant physical strength to quickly impact the opponent's defense line, kicking a faster pace than the opponent and causing fatal blows. Camacho's tactics are simple and rough, and he is not strict about the details of the game and tactics. Lippi's coaching style can be described as "stable", and his tactical essence is a typical Italian defensive counterattack, completing the attack on the basis of chain defense.
3. There is no inheritance of technical and tactical essence
Before and after, a total of 9 foreign coaches took up their posts. Throughout the history of national football, there have been 31 head coaches. Each coach has his own coaching style, and the frequent replacement of the head coach makes the tactical style of the national football team not coherent. The team does not have a consistent technical and tactical style, and the players can only be forced to adapt to changes, playing Guan Yu today and Zhang Fei tomorrow, which happens from time to time.
In addition to coherence, the coaching philosophy of foreign head coaches has a situation of dissatisfaction. Chinese players have limited ability and obviously cannot implement European first-class technical tactics to the greatest extent. It's like a college professor giving a lesson to a primary school student, and it's strange that a primary school student can understand it. Let the foreign head coach develop a set of techniques and tactics suitable for the national football team? They just take money to do things, the first task is to lead the team to complete the goal, it is difficult to have the heart to make a long-term plan.
4. Teaching assistant training mode may be "counterattack"
It is undeniable that the ability of the tushuai is indeed inferior to that of the foreign shuai. But local coaches have a Chinese heart, and the sense of national mission will drive them to work hard to coach the national football team, which is an advantage that foreign coaches do not have at all. Moreover, competence can be cultivated, and there are success stories.
Du Feng was the best big forward in the Chinese men's basketball team, and after retiring in 2012, he became the head coach of Guangdong Hongyuan team. Playing well does not mean being a good head coach, even if it is an NBA superstar, there are very few who can successfully teach after retirement. Jason Kidd, known as the "commander on the court", coached the Nets and Bucks after retiring, only to be fired, and now works as an assistant coach for the Lakers.
Guangdong Hongyuan team knew that Du Feng's ability was limited, so it successively invited former Chinese team coach Yunas and former Dongguan New Century team foreign coach Gore as assistant coaches of the team. From point to surface, comprehensively improve Du Feng's coaching ability. Now Du Feng has led the team to win the CBA championship, and he has also been elected the best coach in the league, and has become the new helmsman of the Chinese men's basketball team. Of course, Du Feng is lucky, the team has built a mature lineup strong, and the impact on the championship is more effective with half the effort.
Du Feng's success proves that the teaching assistant training model can work. After Yao Ming became the chairman of the Basketball Association, he also focused on cultivating local young coaches. Although Li Nan lost coaching in the World Cup, it is inevitable that he will experience some bumps on the road to success. Football and basketball are managed differently, but the Football Association can fully emulate the Basketball Association and focus on developing local coaches. As long as you can successfully explore the technical and tactical system suitable for Chinese football, even if it takes decades and generations, it is worth it!
But local coaches may never be in the long-term planning of Chinese football. Local coaches do not have the right to speak of foreign coaches, and the upper echelons will always instill some ideological concepts to coach. Tu Shuai also often only plays the role of fire fighting and responsibility, and once the performance declines or has a better choice, it is easy to be replaced. In addition, the upper echelons pay more attention to the current results, winning the Asian championship, playing in the World Cup, and achieving the set goals is more important than anything else.
After World War II, Germany trained 100 coaches across the country in order to revive football. After this group of coaches are discharged, the first task is to train 10 more coaches per person. Relying on a high-quality coaching system, Germany has gradually become a football powerhouse. Education rejuvenates the country, coaches revitalize the ball, Chinese football wants to succeed in the world, really have to work local coaches.
