Reporter Jia Yanfeng reported that on December 27, Zhuoer held a press conference, former Luneng coach Li Xiaopeng, the new season will serve as the head coach of the club, and his assistant coaching team, also attracted attention. It has been learned that li Xiaopeng's core assistant to the Chinese side this time is Li Jinyu.
This is also Li Jinyu's departure from Suning to go out of the mountains again, this cooperation, is the third "second Li" "hand-holding", but also the second time after retiring, before, Li Xiaopeng coached the women's national football team, Li Jinyu had "helped".
Since the player era, Li Xiaopeng's circle of friends has been all over the world, he chooses an assistant, he can have a lot of choices, but he chose Li Jinyu again, then, what does Li Jinyu really make Li Xiaopeng so appreciative, and what tacit understanding do the two have?
Many people feel that the friendship between Li Xiaopeng and Li Jinyu stems from when they played together in Luneng, but in fact, it is much longer than that, it can be said that it began from the boyhood, specifically, it should start from Li Jinyu joining Jianlibao, Li Xiaopeng when he was a member of the national youth team.
It is reported that they once conducted winter training together in Wuzhou, Guangxi, and the two teams often played friendly matches, and since then, the two have been friends. To be precise, at that time, many players of the Jianlibao team were friends of Li Xiaopeng, and everyone called him Pengge - since he was a child, Li Xiaopeng's popularity in the circle has been very good.
When Jianlibao first went to Brazil, he was on the earliest flight, and no one expected that Li Xiaopeng actually went to the airport to send off, and Li Jinyu was very moved. Later, everyone entered the professional team, but the friendship between them was never interrupted.
Li Xiaopeng has a wide range of friends, he himself can become friends with people with different personalities and hobbies, at the same time, he is also willing to help friends, many players have said that making friends with Pengge can learn a lot, Li Jinyu is one of them.
The reporter once tried to interview Li Jinyu and ask him to talk about his feelings about becoming Li Xiaopeng's assistant again, but he politely refused. He said that in the future, he will only follow Li Xiaopeng to do things, and all voices, only the head coach has the right and qualifications to send them out to the outside world. This transformation of Li Jinyu can be said to be very large, compared with the outgoing and publicity of the player era, Li Jinyu, who has worked as an assistant coach, head coach, team leader and other management work after retiring, has become very reserved and introverted, and he is particularly humble.
Judging from the resume and personality of the players, Li Xiaopeng and Li Jinyu are completely people from two worlds, but they are so attracted to each other. At the end of 2004, Li Xiaopeng got married, and the reporter met Li Jinyu on the spot and asked him why he and Li Xiaopeng had been so good since childhood, and what characteristics of his own attracted Li Xiaopeng.
At that time, Li Jinyu thought for a long time, and then said an answer that the reporter still remembers, "Maybe because I was the roundest face in the whole team at the time, it looked very cute..." Although it was a joke, it reflected the other side of Li Jinyu, under the seemingly untamed appearance, is a simple and humorous heart. Li Xiaopeng is the same, on the surface, he feels that he is not good at words, but in private, he is also a person with a great sense of humor. In recent years, the classic quotations of many press conferences have also made the outside world more fully aware of Li Xiaopeng.
It can be said that the love of football, the cold and hot personality on the outside, coupled with the humor, make them always good friends.
At the end of 2003, Li Jinyu left Liaozu and joined Luneng, and since then he has won the Golden Boot of the Chinese Super League twice, and in the era when many outstanding foreign aides have landed in the Chinese Super League, he has won two Golden Boots, and Li Jinyu's strength is beyond doubt.
Before Li Jinyu decided to transfer, almost all the Chinese Super League teams called him, hoping to communicate with him about joining, and the most fierce chase for him, including Luneng, Guoan, International and many other giants, and Li Jinyu did not want to make a decision so early.
In September 2003, the national team went to the United States for overseas training, in the 42nd minute of the first half, Zhao Junzhe crossed from the right, Li Jinyu jumped to the top, turning the score into 3-1, but in the 21st minute of the second half, the national football team won a free kick opportunity on the left side of the front court, Li Jinyu collided with the opposing goalkeeper when he stepped into the point, fell to the ground, and after the inspection, it was a rupture of the medial collateral ligament of the right knee, and the season ended early.
During the period of injury, the number of clubs chasing him gradually decreased, and he was also very emotional, seeing clearly the warmth and coldness of human feelings. After the end of the season, Li Xiaopeng deliberately went to Beijing to accompany Li Jinyu for a week of treatment and play, and suddenly one day, he said to Li Jinyu, "Da Yu, follow me, go to Luneng, where it is most suitable for you, believe me." ”
Li Xiaopeng also did something that Li Jinyu would never forget, that is, he dragged him to the cosmetics counter, bought a tube of red lipstick, and then brought Li Jinyu and lipstick together to Dong Gang, the boss of Luneng Club at the time, and used lipstick as printing mud, so that Li Jinyu pressed his handprint on the work contract.
In the first year of Li Jinyu joining Luneng, the manager just became Tuba. For the sake of Li Jinyu's affairs, Li Xiaopeng deliberately found Tuba and explained the situation, Tuba loved talent very much, and specially found a rehabilitation engineer named Sasha from Serbia to help Li Jinyu recover, and After Li Jinyu returned to the field, he shined.
It is reported that the reason why Luneng is willing to introduce Li Jinyu, Li Xiaopeng actually did a lot of work, the highest decision-making level at that time, all recognized Li Xiaopeng's point of view - in addition to the playing style fits the team's tactics, most of the players in the Luneng team are relatively introverted, Li Jinyu's extroversion and passion can drive the atmosphere of the team, but also win the support of more fans.
However, out of caution, the highest decision-making level consulted Li Jinyu's recovery prospects with experts in kinematics, and after receiving a positive answer, decided to sign Li Jinyu. During his time at Luneng, whether on and off the court, Li Jinyu received a lot of attention from Li Xiaopeng, but the main reason why they got closer and closer was his understanding of football and his views on life.
Li Xiaopeng and Li Jinyu retired, both have one thing in common, that is, very suddenly, at that time, everyone thought they could play again, but both chose to leave the stadium. Li Xiaopeng's retirement is actually to make way for young people, willing to let people remember their most brilliant side, and take the initiative to leave when they can still play, rather than being forced to leave on the day when they really can't kick - and this deeply affects Li Jinyu.
After many players retire, they will be more confused, and even have a period of sadness and loneliness, when Li Jinyu retired less than a year ago, Li Xiaopeng called him to the women's national football team to help, as a special assistant, so that Li Jinyu completed the change of thinking in a relatively short period of time.
Li Jinyu was responsible for guiding the technical actions of the forwards, especially observing the forward's starting timing selection, running position and shooting techniques, etc. Li Jinyu was very careful, and he also had patience, because he was a type that combined talent and weakness, so he could understand the obstacles and difficulties of the players in some aspects, which was one of the reasons why Li Xiaopeng admired him.
Li Xiaopeng chose Li Jinyu as an assistant this time, according to the reporter's analysis, the reasons may include the following points: First, the understanding of football between the two people, of course, there are many years of friendship and trust as the foundation; second, this is Li Xiaopeng's first time to teach in the south, Li Jinyu worked in Suning for three years, for the southern social culture and the operation process of large enterprises are very familiar with the operation process, can provide him with a good assistance; third, Li Jinyu's research spirit on the business, especially the selection of young players and observation and training, Fourth, Li Jinyu has been constantly improving himself, and during the period after leaving Suning, he read a lot of books to further enrich his knowledge of technical statistics, tactical analysis, and athlete dietary nutrition. It is understood that during this period, there were variety shows that invited him to participate at a very attractive high price, but was rejected.
It is understood that after Li Jinyu decided to join Suning, he called Li Xiaopeng and asked him what suggestions he had, Li Xiaopeng said, "Take off the jersey, completely forget the past, no matter what position you do, you are a servicer." Your excellence is only valuable if the club needs it. These words, Li Jinyu quickly understood, during the Suning period, he was very low-key, when the team training, he often took the initiative to help the team pick up the ball on the sidelines. It wasn't until one inadvertently exposed footwork that Olaroyu was surprised.
This trip to Zhuo'er to coach is a new test for Li Xiaopeng and Li Jinyu, and the new journey of two good friends, with tacit understanding and trust as a companion, should be able to walk more steadily.
