On the first working day of 2020, the Chinese Football Association announced that Li Tie was the head coach of the national team. Li tie finally realized his dream of coaching the national football team. Iron is a mature stable personality, a quality that dares to bear hardships and challenges, a diligent pursuit of football concept, and a firm belief that the honor of the motherland is above all else. In 2020, the key year to impact the qualification of the World Cup final table, Li Tie will bring his personality and character to Chinese football and engrave a mark on the national team, li Ning Group will continue to help Chinese football as always, and continue to join hands with Li Tie to meet the new challenges on the road to the development of Chinese football.
Although Li tie was a midfield in the player era, he was not a player with good skills. What really enabled him to stand on was his undead physical ability and his brave and tenacious defense in the midfield. He proved his value in the national team by virtue of a “hard force”, or an attitude towards football, and with his hard-working physical ability, it became a foothold on the court and played all the way to the Premier League and the World Cup.
After retirement, Li Tie first worked as a teacher from Lippi at Evergrande University. During this period, Li Tie raised the national football team to assist Pelan, and then Lippi took him to the national football team after he hung up the national football team. As Lippi’s most dependent Chinese assistant, Li Tie, who is eager to learn, not only shares his worries in terms of techniques and tactics, moreover, he went to Brazil to study with Jianlibao as a teenager and played in England for a long time after becoming a professional player. He also mastered two foreign languages, Portuguese and English, therefore, he naturally became a bridge between domestic teams and foreign teams.
Although the coaching experience is very rich and the ups and downs of life have also been experienced, the steel “force” on him has gone deep into his bones and never disappeared. During the East Asia Cup, Li Tie’s team led the Chinese national team, which had shown a good mental outlook, and at that stage, Li Tie had already begun to make efforts. During the competition, Li Tie’s coaching staff worked more than ten hours every day, and the team took closed measures during the East Asia Cup. The team also made great progress in the internal atmosphere and mental outlook.
As a young coach, Li Tie also played the role of Big Brother when coaching the team. His high-profile player career made his prestige a veteran in the team, his approachable style also made him communicate with the younger generation without any obstacles, so the young players grew up rapidly under his guidance. In the 2019 season, he trained new people like Liu Yun and tomorrow for Dreher. Both of them were officially selected into the national football team. In addition, Wei Shihao, Gao Zhun wing and others, after Li Tie took office, the “new and old alternation” of the national football team is expected to be realized in advance. In the future, a national football team full of vitality and passion may appear in front of the fans.
The reason why Li Tie was chosen was that Liu Yi, secretary general of the Chinese Football Association, said: “We need a coach who can unite the team’s fighting capacity and unify his thinking in a short time. Domestic coaches have inherent dedication and mission, which is also needed for the construction of the national team at present.” According to the needs of national team construction and the development of the team, after taking charge of the national football team, Li Tie will definitely take the lead in reforming the national football team from the mental outlook, so that the team can be engraved with the brand of iron. Just like the steel will advocated by Li Ning’s “Iron series” all the time, I believe that Li Tie will also shape the national football into an iron and blood teacher who is United and United, therefore, in the top 40 or even the top 12, the Chinese good men who are not afraid of hardship and go forward bravely are shown.
