Li Xiaopeng Resignation Rumors and National Team Strategy
April 13, according to soccer newspaper reporter Chen Yong disclosed that China's national team manager Li Xiaopeng has a high probability of automatic resignation.
The report revealed that Li Xiaopeng took over at the beginning of the General Administration of Sport, its expectations are quite high, hope that he will complete two major tasks: First, the team to complete the 12 strong match, the national football team out of the line of the situation is grim, so there is no specific goal, if you want to describe the goal, it is a smooth transition, and strive for the performance, to ensure that the other national teams do not make mistakes. The second is to prepare for the 2023 Asian Cup, as for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, only as a preliminary consideration.
However, Li Xiaopeng also said at the time that he hoped the four games after the Top 12 would serve as a self-assessment, effectively putting pressure on himself. At present, the attitude of the General Administration of Sport and the CFA is still unclear, but sources indicate that Li Xiaopeng is more likely to resign automatically.
As to whether and when to change the manager, there is plenty of room: the national team does not need to train from now to the end of the year, and the league was forced to postpone the schedule will be extremely intensive. the U23 national team actually assumed the role of the "national second team", especially the U23 national team can be recruited to the over-age players.
