According to the Shanghai media "Oriental Sports Daily", before the start of the round of 12, the media interviewed the national football coach Li Tie. At that time, Li Tie told reporters that in his personality, there was no word "give up"!
From the current point of view, although in the first four games of the round of 12, the national football team lost 0-3 to Australia; 0-1 to Japan; 3-2 to Vietnam; 2-3 to Saudi Arabia, the points were only 3 points, and the world preliminary group qualification was very slim, but not only Li Tie would not resign halfway like Gao Hongbo in the last round of 12, but he also got a good evaluation from the Football Association: the points were better than the same period last time!
Although there are a large number of voices demanding that "Li Tie leave class" among fans and public opinion, recently, many Chinese footballers have begun to "appear on the scene" - out to publicly speak for Li Tie and support Li Tie to continue to coach the national football team.
For example, the well-known football commentator Dong Lu claimed that Li Tie mainly used local players in the first half, which can consume the opponent's physical strength, and then sent naturalized players who are not physically good in the second half, which is conducive to impacting the opponent, which is like the "Tianji horse racing" strategy in the Chinese art of war.
Dong Lu even said: Luo Guofu, who scored a goal in Saudi Arabia: "Li Tie should not take him!" At this stage, Li Tie is the best candidate for the national football team manager, and it is impossible for foreigners to coach the national football team now."
Former international Shao Jiayi said: "After all, we have so many naturalized players back, although a few games are not played very well, but on the whole, our team is still there, this strength is still there, I also believe that Li Tie can adjust the team." ”
However, although Shao Jiayi supported Li Tie to "be able to adjust the team", he was also more realistic, and he still pointed out the problems in the top 12 of the national football team: "There are so many naturalized players, and some games are not played very well."
Another former international, Cao Yang, became the loudest supporter of Li Tiezhong, saying:
"Adhere to the basic principles of football, combine the development concept of Chinese and Western football, give full play to the technical and tactical characteristics of Chinese players, and Chinese can do their own thing." Support Chinese football! Support the national team! Support Li Tie! ”。
Cao Yang not only mentioned the most affectionate words that Li Tie said here: "Chinese can also do their own thing (football)", but also seems to praise Li Tie's coaching has three major advantages: one is to adhere to the basic principles of football; the second is to combine the development concept of Chinese and Western football; and the third is to give full play to the technical and tactical characteristics of Chinese players.
However, it is puzzling why Li Tie has these three characteristics, but the performance of the first four games of the national football team in the top 12 matches is still unsatisfactory, and it can even be said that the group qualification is basically hopeless? ——If Li Tiezhen is as highly praised as Cao Yang, there should be good results as proof, right?
Although Li Tie scored 2 points more than the previous Gao Hongbo in the same period of 4 games, in the next 6 games, Li Tie did not say that he could qualify from the group, but whether he could achieve 6 wins, 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss like Lippi after taking over Gao Hongbo, with 11 points? If you can, even the national football team can rank third in the group and enter the play-offs, right?
However, the comments of foreign media, such as the Russian media "footballhd", are different from these Chinese football players, which wrote an analysis that the effect of naturalized players joining the national football team is not ideal, but the team still has the opportunity to win the third place in the group, but the premise is that the manager Li Tie must be replaced - a coach more experienced than Li Tie is invited to lead the team to continue to impact the World Cup.
Of course, from the current situation, especially under the epidemic situation, it is indeed difficult for the national football team to change the coach - perhaps, it is impossible to change Li Tie under the "give up", only to see if he can change his mind and truly play the "three major advantages" that Cao Yang praised him, in order to achieve a super reversal and eventually bring the national football team into the World Cup, then Li Tie can reach the glorious peak of his coaching career and become a generation of famous stars in Chinese football! 【Original Review: Yu said that hugh】
