Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Haoming, Public soldiers and Ma Bangjie
on the 2nd, the Chinese Football Association announced that Li Tie became the head coach of the national team, and the national football team officially entered the era of “Iron handsome. Why can li tie stand out from the competition of Tu Shuai? Can this young man who has experienced many battles cast the national football into an iron army?
Since he started his coaching career in liaozu ten years ago, Li Tie talked about his goal on many occasions-becoming the head coach of the national team. Throughout his resume, the goal is clear, the path is clear, enough efforts are made, and the final realization can be described as natural.
At the age of 16, he was selected as the Jianlibao Team to stay abroad in Brazil. At the age of 20, he was selected as the national team for FIFA World Cup qualification. At the age of 24, he fought with the national football team and rushed into the World Cup in FIFA World Cup qualification, at the age of 25, he played three games on behalf of the national football team in the Korea-Japan World Cup. After that, he joined Everton in the Premier League. At the age of 33, he became an assistant coach of the Liao football team. At the age of 35, he joined Evergrande and became a member of Lippi coaching team, at the age of 37, he became the assistant coach of the national football team. At the age of 38, he served as the head coach of Hebei Huaxia happiness team, leading the team to succeed. At the age of 39, he served as the assistant coach of the national football team again, and at the age of 40, he served as the head coach of the Wuhan Zall team, and led the team to compete again. At the age of 42, he became the head coach of the national training team.
Throughout Li Tie’s experience, from athletes to assistant coaches of the club, from assistant coaches of the national team to the head coach of the club and from the head coach of the national training team, he finally climbed to the peak of the head coach of the national team. Li Tie’s time in every role is only two or three years, and the growth speed is rare in international football.
And Li Tie’s performance in each role is remarkable. At the age of 38, he led Hebei Huaxia to succeed as a head coach for the first time. At the age of 41, he won his first championship trophy as a head coach Wuhan Zall, and led this upgrading horse to the sixth place in the Super League. Although there is no bright performance in leading the team to the East Asia Cup, it is qualified to avoid a big defeat.
From the perspective of spiritual attributes, whether his role is a player or a coach, Li Tie’s self-discipline, hard work and professionalism are the basis for his continuous progress and success. No matter in Huaxia, Hebei province or in Wuhan Zall, Li Tie left the impression of a “workaholic”, working 12-14 hours a day, almost demanding for his players and hungry for victory…… These are all very important personal characteristics of becoming a successful coach. From the perspective of Li Tie’s idea of selecting people, he paid more attention to the players’ attitude and desire to fight, which also helped him build a more cohesive team.
Of course, Li Tie also faces many challenges. For example, compared with the head coach of the club, the head coach of the national team requires stronger coordination ability. In the era of “foreign handsome”, such coordination depends more on the role of leader. However, as a local coach, communication with football associations, clubs and players requires personal efforts.
The preparation time left for Li tie is not sufficient, and more than two months later, the top 40 will resume the fighting. The national football team still has four games to play, which are home to Maldives, away to Guam, home to Philippines and home to Syria. Three owners and one customer, the competition schedule is good for the national football team. In the first three games, the national football team must strive to win all, and in the last game, the opponent Syria is likely to have locked the team’s first exit in advance, and the national football team hopes to score points on the opponent. Therefore, the fate of the national football team is still in its own hands.
Compared with previous World Cup qualifiers, domestication will undoubtedly become an important “X Factor” for the National Football to impact Qatar World Cup “. If the national football team can advance to the top 12, whether it can play the role of naturalized players will become more critical. After all, facing the top Asian teams such as Japan, South Korea and Australia, we need someone to stand up and complete the fatal blow. However, the experience of staying abroad in Brazil and Britain made Li Tie have a certain Portuguese and English foundation and can communicate with Exxon, Li Ke and others. Such language ability is particularly important in the national team in the era of domestication.
Judging from the statements of relevant people in the Chinese Football Association, choosing Li tie as the coach of the national football team is not only a realistic choice, but also a far-reaching consideration, allowing the national team to return to the national team, removing this does not belong to its excessive expectations. Under the circumstance that Chinese football is backward in all aspects, Li Tie is doomed to be unable to become the “savior”. However, from the national team to the grass-roots youth training, it is necessary for generations to work steadily, only Chinese football can be “made into steel”.
