Not knowing for what, the sorrow surrounds me. I pray every day that Lippi will return to China soon!
Marcello Lippi. Once a god-like being. In the world of football, he is the coach of the World Cup, The Champions League and Serie A champions. Since coming to China, at the club, from 2012 to take over the Guangzhou Evergrande Shuaiyin, he led the team to win the Chinese Super League three consecutive championships, and led the team to win the AFC Champions League. Promoted to the national team, in the Top 12 of the Asian region of the Russian World Cup qualifiers, he almost brought the Chinese team back to life - led the team to play 11 official games, achieved 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, and the winning rate reached 55% - in the data record of the official matches of the Chinese national team, this is definitely high.
▲ On March 23, 2017, the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team 1:0 in the World Cup qualifiers. The picture shows that the day before, Lippi led the team to step on the field training.
At last year's Asian Cup, he led the team to complete the set goal of reaching the quarterfinals. However, there are two regrets. First, against Iran's eight-in-four match, the Chinese team not only swallowed three eggs in a row, but also made the same mistake in the three goals conceded, which made Lippi furious. Second, the Chinese team at this Asian Cup "won the championship" in terms of average age, and the figure of young people could hardly be seen in the squad.
▲ The Chinese team lost 0:3 to Iran and stopped in the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup.
After the Asian Cup, Lippi's contract expired and he left.
However, in retrospect, the two regrets at the Asian Cup are really for a reason. First of all, in the Asian Cup, the national football team had a fair record before the battle against Iran, and had completed the set goals of the Football Association ahead of schedule. The reason why it will lose, and lose so badly, is probably because Iran is strong and the playing style is comparable to the national football team, while on the other hand, Lippi's desire to win allows the players to attack in a big way, resulting in a lack of air defense, coupled with the elderly players playing consecutive games, physical weakness.
▲ Feng Xiaoting after the fiasco
Taking Feng Xiaoting as an example, after a major mistake, he returned to the club and was actually put off the reserve team by Evergrande, on the grounds that there was a major mistake in the Asian Cup match against Iran.
This is undoubtedly an unbelievable act of playing the piano! Isn't The reason why Feng Xiaoting made a major mistake in the national team match against Iran was not because of his age and physical strength? What mistake did he make at the club to be disqualified? Looking back now, it's more like a gesture from the club owner. Within a few days, Feng Xiaoting returned to the first team. The ball is not less to play, and the money is not less earned.
As for the average age of the national team at the Asian Cup, the reason is nothing more than that the Football Association has no intention of renewing Lippi's contract, and Lippi does not need to make the next strategic consideration. All he has to do, then, is take responsibility for the Results of the Asian Cup. Therefore, the selection of the most powerful players to play has become the most important thing to do. Playing the Asian Cup as a World Cup final, this style of play, is indeed a bit embarrassing!
After being eliminated by Iran in the Asian Cup, Lippi announced that he would no longer be in charge of the Chinese team.
And when Lippi just took over the Chinese team's coaching seal, this was not the case. At that time, the Football Association or lippi team gave the news that Lippi had a big national team plan, and the team members would be in charge of youth national teams at all levels and select materials nationwide. What is even more imaginative is that Lippi will make strategic considerations for Chinese football, structure the youth training system, and strive for the overall improvement of Chinese football in the future.
These are ten years of trees that are not a day's work, and they can't be rushed!
▲ Maddaloni led the team out of the U23 Asian Cup group and stopped the Asian Games in the round of 16.
However, with Lippi team member Maddaloni leading the team to perform poorly in both the U23 Asian Cup and the Asian Games, Lippi's big national team plan seems to be in bankruptcy. The FA brought in Hiddink, a famous Dutch coach who was two years older than Lippi. At present, Hiddink is leading the national Olympic team - although it does not see how much progress this national Olympic team has made, in short, China's national teams at all levels have long since lost a unified Italian logo.
After the 2018 China Cup, Lippi seems to have lost the trust of some people in the authorities.
Lippi himself lost the trust of some people in the authorities, mainly after last year's China Cup.
On March 22, 2018, the Chinese team lost 0:6 to Wales in the China Cup, followed by a 1:4 loss to the Czech Republic, ranking at the bottom. This angered some executives who were new to football. However, looking back, Wales was in the top 20 in the world at the time, and Bale, who scored a hat-trick, was worth more than the entire team of the Chinese team. The Czech Republic is also a world powerhouse.
What's so scary about losing in such an invitational tournament?
In itself, the enterprises that sponsor the China Cup mainly want to spend a lot of money to invite the world's high-level teams to play with real knives and guns and Chinese teams to test and improve the strength of the Chinese team. However, as the Chinese team in this China Cup appeared in front of the slightly serious world powerhouse, Lippi fell out of favor in the Football Association, and the teams invited by the China Cup also changed their taste.
Lippi, who was exhausted during the Asian Cup
Suddenly, there were more people giving Lippi ideas, making it seem as if they were the world champion and Lippi was a schoolboy. The funniest thing is that in the final stage of last year's Chinese Super League, there was a national football U25 training team led by Shen Xiangfu. U25, immensity, this is the only U25 national team in the world, and the team hardly plays much. At a time when the fierce battle in the Chinese Super League is in full swing, the players that the club urgently needs are in military training! But the problem is that the players drawn are all players who can't get into the national team or belong to marginal internationals - no matter how they practice, it is not possible to see that they can make the Chinese team enter the 2022 Qatar World Cup. As for military training, it would have been a good thing, but at this time, these players who have little to do with the national team can be trained in the military, what is the situation? There has been no official disclosure so far!
▲The U25 training team that died without illness
When the Chinese Super League entered the most critical link, the U25 training team made the Chinese Super League teams seriously short of personnel. The most injured was Dalian Yifang. Originally, Dalian Yifang's implementation of the Football Association's U23 policy was very thorough, and some young players played the main force early. However, because the U25 national team pulled out the young main force of one side, the side lineup was stretched. Fortunately, the team was relegated successfully, otherwise I don't know who to complain to!
After the start of the Chinese Super League this year, it coincided with quan Jian's accident, the team was managed to change its name to Tianhai, and Shen Xiangfu ran there to re-employment. U25 did nothing.
Cannavaro wearing a national football coaching uniform
At this time, the national football team should participate in this year's China Cup. Maybe last year's China Cup was beaten by Wales and the Czech Republic, and this year's Football Association invited Thailand, Uzbekistan and Uruguay to participate in the China Cup – there is not a single European team. Guangzhou Evergrande head coach Cannavaro became the acting head coach of the national football training team, and temporarily cobbled together a team to play.
The results are also seen. As Fan Zhiyi once said to the camera -
▲ Camacho national football team lost to thai team after Fan Zhiyi angrily criticized.
Of course, Fan Zhiyi's words were said when Camacho, the predecessor of the former of the national football coach Lippi, lost to Thailand, however, who could have imagined that the national football training team led by Cannavaro once again lost to Thailand.
After losing to Thailand, the national football training team went to play Uzbekistan, exactly the same as the battle with Thailand - 0:1 loss. The Chinese team is at the bottom of the China Cup again, but what teams have lost this year!
In 2006, Lippi led Cannavaro to win the World Cup.
As a player, Cannavaro was the captain of the Italian team, equivalent to the eldest disciple of the Italian coach Lippi at that time. The two collaborated tacitly and won the World Cup in 2006. After Lippi left Guangzhou Evergrande, he strongly recommended Cannavaro, who did not have much experience as a manager, to replace him. However, Cannavaro's first time at the helm of Evergrande was not satisfactory, and Evergrande fired Cannavaro and invited another World Cup champion coach, Brazilian Scolari. Cannavaro went to Tianjin Quanjian to re-employment, led the team to rush to the top, and won the third place in the 2017 Chinese Super League and qualified for the AFC Champions League. With these achievements, he was able to regain control of Evergrande.
Cannavaro Weibo revealed that he had given up his position as head coach of the Chinese men's football team.
After Lippi left the national football coach, perhaps he recommended it, or perhaps the role of other forces, Cannavaro worked part-time as the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande team. Perhaps because the name is not justified, there is no official announcement, and when he played in the China Cup, he was called "the acting head coach of the national training team". The fiasco of the China Cup made Cannavaro feel unexpected. On April 28, Cannavaro announced on Weibo that he had given up his position as the manager of the national football team.
Klinsmann sat in the seat of the Chinese Football Association to watch the Chinese Super League.
Earlier, Former German star and "Golden Bomber" Klinsmann came to Beijing, sat down at the Workers' Stadium, and watched the Chinese Super League. And the seat he sat in front of the seat was the Chinese Football Association! Coupled with the fact that there was something strange before - the relevant departments announced that there will be a match in May this year, by the Chinese national team against Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich, it feels that Klinsmann may be interested in the Chinese team manager.
In general, in countries where football is more mature, a national team rarely holds a more formal open match with a club. The national football team is about to play Bayern, which makes people feel that there are many interesting places to play.
But Klinsmann is long gone in Germany – he hasn't found a job in years after years as coach of the U.S. team!
▲During President Xi Jinping's visit to Italy, Lippi was interviewed by CCTV.
However, things are quietly changing!
During President Xi Jinping's visit to Italy in March this year, Lippi attended a welcome banquet. In a long-form documentary report on Xi Jinping's visit published by Xinhua News Agency titled "Long and Far Away", it was written: "Welcome banquet, celebrities gather. The famous football coach Lippi was invited to participate. 'I know that President Xi also loves football, so although meeting President Xi for the first time, it feels like I have known each other for a long time,' Lippi said in an interview with Italian media, President Xi Jinping leads a wonderful country, and it is an honor to shake hands with President Xi. ”
At that time, Lippi also accepted an exclusive interview with China's CCTV, talking about the "Belt and Road"!
Screenshot of the Report of the Rome Newspaper Sport
On April 24, the Italian sports media "Roma Sports" reported that Lippi was interviewed by italian media Media2 about his experience in China. Lippi said in an interview about his and his team's experience in China: "Chinese are curious about us, but our lives are good. From a football perspective, there is still a lot of work to be done. They don't have a tradition of football, people play table tennis and you don't see kids playing football. "Now they're starting to focus on youth training, organizing football in schools, and they're making some improvements."
With Lippi's eldest disciple, Cannavaro, announcing that he will no longer serve as the head coach of the national football team he never held, Lippi, who has returned to Italy, is likely to return to China. Of course, there are regrets, such as because of the disapproval of Lippi, which led to the termination of Lippi's "army building" plan, and the Asian Cup was only played by veterans. After Lippi returned to Italy, the national football team has been vacant, and now more than four months have passed, and the day of the World Cup qualifiers in Qatar is getting closer and closer. The wasted time can no longer be recovered...
The day to go can not be traced, the coming day can still be expected. Mr. Lippi, I wish you more success in the future! Chinese football, I hope not toss again!
