On January 11, Beijing time, an unprecedented event in China's football world was staged at the Marriott Jinqiao Red Maple Hotel in Pudong, Shanghai, where the new men's football team was assembled and kicked off preparations for the 12-team tournament, which will be held on January 27 against Japan and February 1 against Vietnam.
Reviewing the previous six group matches, our men's soccer team won 1, 2, 3 and accumulated 5 points. Following the match with Australia, our head coach Li Tie poured out his emotions in a 32-minute passionate speech, and then the small advertisement released on social media set off a public opinion frenzy, which led to Li Tie's sad departure. He was replaced by Li Xiaopeng, who has a high emotional quotient, and the outside world is generally optimistic about his ability to handle relations with the media and fans.
In the face of media interviews, Li Xiaopeng expressed his views, he called on the media and fans to give our men's football more tolerance and understanding. "If you still use the analogy of fish, in the past in the club is torment, now in the position of national team head coach to lead the team in the game, if it does not go well, it is a direct barbecue, there is no cushioning process."
In our sports family, our men's soccer team can be called a special team, like a son, perhaps occasional disappointment, or even add to the chaos, but the players and coaches are very hard, eager to do things well. For criticism or blame, we do not exclude, just hope that now our men's football, a little more tolerance and understanding. For me, and for the players, I hope they can play in a relaxed state of mind, rather than carrying heavy pressure to fight.
