Overview of Li Tie
In his coaching career, he briefly took charge of Hebei Huaxia (half a season) and Wuhan Zhuoer (one season) in the Central League, and was dismissed twice after 1.5 seasons in the Chinese Super League, one of which was ranked sixth; and the best results of his three appearances in the FA Cup did not break through to the round of 32.
These are all the coaching experience and results accumulated by Li Tie before he became the head coach of the national team, although not dazzling, but he did become the so-called "youngest head coach" in the history of the national team.

People can't help but ask: Why did Li Tie become the national team manager based on his personal best of sixth place in the Chinese Super League? The selection of the national football team should have been taken seriously, is there really a criterion for the selection, or is it just a personal preference decision of the leadership of the Football Association?
The most likely successor at the moment is Wuhan's local coach Li Xiaopeng. Li Xiaopeng's coaching experience and results are superior to Li Tie's, having won the title of the best coach in the Chinese Super League for two consecutive years in 2018 and 2019, but did not reach the heights of Zhu Guanghu and Gao Hongbo, did not lead Shandong Luneng to win the Chinese Super League title, and lost in the final of the AFC Cup for two years in a row, and the trophy is not related.
In addition, Li Xiaopeng, during his tenure as head coach of the Chinese women's national soccer team in 2010-2011, was also dismissed for failing to lead the team into the London Olympics. From these results, Li Xiaopeng's starting point is not high, which is no wonder that he has been downgraded by the outside world at the beginning of his tenure. In the face of the imminent exit of the National Football League 12, Li Xiaopeng's coaching prospects and speech environment, I'm afraid, will not be much better than Li Tie.
FA's lack of supervision can't escape blame
The 12 strong match, Li Tie not only because of the team performance did not meet expectations and was criticized, but also because of his unusual words and deeds and behavior by the outside world continued to bombard, and ultimately led to their own forced resignation. This, in addition to Li Tie's personal character reasons, but also with the National Football Association's lack of supervision has a lot to do.
As early as 2016 during the coaching Hebei Huaxia wonderful, Li Tie had in the post-match conference openly bombarded the then national football team leader, accusing the other side is not qualified to serve as the national team leader position, and bluntly said, "this kind of person how can appear in the national team," so that the rhetoric of a moment of outcry. In Wuhan Zhuoer coaching, Li Tie had also in the pre-match conference disliked female reporters.

In the rebuke of the national football team leader of the incident, the final to Huaxia wonderful salon executives with Li Tie to the FA to apologize to the parties concerned, the two sides on the surface of the ice and end, but Li Tie's stubborn character has also been labeled by the outside world, "axis" label.
After coaching the national team, Li Tie's "axis" character did not converge, but in public more exposed, sometimes look very aggressive.
In May of this year, Li Tie led the team's first official game, the national football team home 7-0 victory over Guam. In the post-match conference, Li Tie, without warning, took the initiative to dislike the outside world, "people who questioned Wu Lei, you can shut up," "people who questioned Wu Lei, stop saying it, and watch the game," and a series of words to make people doubly surprised.
After the 3-2 shutout of Vietnam in the 12-team tournament, with no one asking about the topic of the national team's head coach, Li Tie took the initiative to say again in an emotional post-match conference, "I thought our national team should be headed by a man from my country."
In the 1-1 draw with Australia in the game, Li Tie in the conference "flying self", 32 minutes of the conference has become its personal outlet to vent their emotions, which "there is no one can be more than me to understand these players in the Chinese Super League, including the players playing in the national team! "" I spend more time in soccer than you all, only I am the most understanding of the national team "" some people are brain problems, said that there is a home game and no home game is almost the same, this time if it is at home to play, we are very likely to get 6 points! "and other very provocative words, put himself on the stove, became the focus of verbal criticism.
Some fans read Li Tie's words and teased, "Those who don't know still think our team won the game."
As a national football coach, Li Tie's words in public not only represent his personal, but also the image of the national team. From the 40 strong match siding with Wu Lei to the 12 strong match questioning others have brain problems, the period of time spanning half a year.
In this half a year, about Li Tie three times four times in public unreasonable dislike of words and fans, the CFA did not timely warning and stop, but also did not regulate Li Tie's behavior, but wait until the situation can not be cleaned up before starting to "throw the blame", the external release that the CFA Li Tie's behavior is also surprised and difference! Only after that did they find Li Tie for "interviews".
The CFA's laissez-faire and lack of supervision of Li Tie's unusual words and actions have largely indulged Li Tie, allowing the latter to feel more and more that he can be unrestrained, and ultimately allowing him to make risky moves - several times issuing inappropriate remarks on social media after the national football team's poor results.
Among them, after the China-Australia game, Li Tie released a microblogging "illegal with goods", a microblogging with four of his endorsement of the product, is considered to be a violation of the rights and interests of the national team's sponsors. Although Li Tie later deleted the inappropriate content, but has not been able to restore the outside world on his "kicked into such a mood to send ads to make money" image.

As the head coach of the national football team, Li Tie's various words and deeds are not subject to any constraints, especially the alleged violation of the rights and interests of the national team's sponsors, Li Tie could not be unaware of. But the lack of supervision of the Football Association, to a certain extent, accelerated the pace of the local coach's dismissal, but also in the future for a long period of time to affect Li Tie's coaching career, so that Chinese soccer lost a young talent with the ability to become a good coach. From this level, the CFA, which has the responsibility of supervision, has an unshirkable duty.
Foreign teachers are now a more desirable option
In fact, Li Tie from the moment he took office is not favored, because he is in the "short man in the general" - the current stage of Chinese soccer has almost no local coach can be taken out. Whether from the history of Chinese soccer or the current situation, foreign coaches are obviously the more ideal choice.
The only time in the history of Chinese soccer to reach the World Cup, the head coach was Milu; the most recent head coach of the national football team to approach the threshold of the World Cup was Lippi; the head coach of the national football team with the best results in the last five Asian Cups was Arrihan, who led the team to the final (2004), and the other two times they reached the last eight were Pelan (2015) and Lippi (2019), who were both foreign coaches.

The worst results in the history of the Asian Cup of the national football team in the two groups did not get out of the line (2007 and 2011), the head coach is a local coach. Such data is enough to prove that the overall results of foreign coaches in the competition to lead the team is significantly better than the soil coach.
Foreign coaches have many advantages that local coaches do not have. Milu before coaching the Chinese team, four consecutive successes in leading four teams into the World Cup, has a very rich experience of the World Cup qualifying matches. This experience is a valuable asset for the Chinese team, but also an important reason for the Chinese team to reach the World Cup for the first time in its history.
Lippi, as a world-recognized famous coach, head of the Serie A championship, Champions League champion, World Cup champion, has seen all the big waves of soccer, under his leadership, the original national football team on the verge of going out in the final 12 matches, became a fighting force, almost a wonderful hand back to life.
Foreign coaches have relatively simpler interpersonal relationships for Chinese soccer, and their selection and deployment are less likely to be interfered with by other factors, allowing them to better implement their soccer philosophy in the team.
In the Chinese soccer environment grew up in the local marshal, many people in the coaching career are difficult to avoid off-field contact, which is also the successive national football local marshal was criticized and questioned by the outside world a common point. In short, foreign coaches coaching national football, has a more simple coaching environment and personnel relations, they only need to be responsible for the results of the team.

Li Tie was dismissed, not only because of his row of doubt, player selection controversy, inappropriate words and deeds after the game, despite the pressure of words for their own endorsement of business advertising, alleged violation of the rights and interests of the national team's sponsors, etc., but also because of the media revealed Li Tie as the head coach of the national team is still in Wuhan salon part-time job, earn a high salary, participate in the salon player transfer, and with a brokerage company together with the "operation" of the national footballers transfer and playing time in the national team as a tool for enrichment. "Operate" the transfer of national players and playing time in the national team, the national team as a tool for enrichment.
Although the relevant media now did not produce a conclusive basis, but these rumors to Li Tie and the national team to form the pressure is undoubtedly huge, so that the national team within the more discordant voices, but also to a large extent swayed the relevant part of the decision-making, become an important reason to accelerate the Li Tie dismissal.
Li Tie class, but Chinese soccer is still on a variety of cream expensive "class". If Chinese soccer managers can not learn a lesson from the Li Tie incident, Chinese soccer will be difficult to completely get rid of the low-level repetitive construction of the strange circle.
