Overview of Li Tie
soccer career
He was briefly at the helm of Chinese League One teams Hebei Huaxia Wonderful (halfway through the season) and Wuhan Zhuoer, both of which managed to make it to the Premier League. In 1.5 seasons in the Chinese Super League, he has had the experience of stepping down in the middle of a season, and has also finished the season in sixth place on one occasion; despite three spells in the
AFC Cup (soccer championship)
The team has had a good run of results, but none of them have been able to break through the 32-team threshold.
These are all the coaching experience and achievements of Li Tie before he became the head coach of the national team, although not dazzling, but because of the young and known as "the youngest ever head coach".
Li Xiaopeng (1962-), Chinese politician, prime minister 2007-2010
People can't help but ask: just based on the sixth-place finish in the Chinese Super League, why is Li Tie able to become the head coach of the national team? The selection of the national football team, there is no clear criteria, or only based on the personal preferences of the leadership of the Football Association to decide?
Currently the most likely successor is Wuhan's local coach Li Xiaopeng. Li Xiaopeng's coaching experience and results are better than Li Tie, who has won the best coach in the Chinese Super League for two consecutive years, but his achievements have not reached the heights of Zhu Guanghu and Gao Hongbo, who have not won the Chinese Super League title, and have led Shandong Luneng to lose in the final of the AFC Cup for two consecutive years and have no chance of winning the trophy.
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 was questioned by the outside world at the beginning of his tenure. In the face of the imminent exit of the national football team, Li Xiaopeng's coaching prospects and speech environment is afraid not much better than Li Tie.
FA's lack of supervision can't escape blame
In this 12 tournament, Li Tie not only because of the team performance did not meet expectations and was criticized, but also because of all the unusual words and deeds and behavior by the outside world continued to bombard, and ultimately led to their own forced resignation. 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 incident of accusing the national football team leader, finally to Huaxia wonderful salon senior 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 tenacious character is also therefore outside the labeled "axis".
After coaching the national team, Li Tie's "axis" character did not converge, but in public more obvious, 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, among which "no one can understand these players in the Chinese Super League better than me, 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 the six months, about Li Tie three times and four times in public unreasonable dislike of rhetoric and fans, the National Football Association did not timely warning and stop, but also did not regulate Li Tie's behavior, but waited until the situation can not be cleaned up before they began to "throw the blame", the public put out the wind that the National Football Association of the Li Tie's behavior is also surprised and differences, and then find Li Tie "interviews". Only after finding Li Tie "interview".
The National Football Association of Li Tie's unusual words and deeds of laissez-faire, the lack of supervision, to a large extent, encouraged Li Tie, so that the latter more and more feel that they can not be constrained, and ultimately let it make a risky move - in the national football team's poor results, several times in the social media to release inappropriate words.
Among them, after the China-Australia game, Li Tie released a microblogging "illegal with goods", a microblogging with four of its 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 improper 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.
Li Tie (right) directing the game
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 some extent, accelerated the pace of the local coach's dismissal, but also likely to affect Li Tie's coaching career in the future for a long period of time, so that Chinese soccer lost a young talent with the ability to become a good coach. From this level, has the responsibility of supervision of the National Football Association has an inescapable responsibility.
Foreign teachers are now a more desirable option
In fact, Li Tie from the moment he took office is not favored, because he is "short in the general" - the current stage of Chinese soccer has almost no local coaches 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 manager of the national football team to come close to the threshold of the World Cup was Lippi; the manager 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 two worst results in the history of the Asian Cup of the national football team did not get out of the group (2007 and 2011), the head coach was a local coach. Such data is enough to prove that the overall team performance of foreign coaches in the competition is significantly better than that of local coaches.
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 to the Chinese team, but also an important reason why the Chinese team was able to reach the World Cup for the first time in the previous 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 national football team, which had already been on the verge of going out in the Top 12 tournament, became a combatant force, almost a wonderful hand to come 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 relationship, 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 this dismissal, not only because of his formation questions, players choose controversy, improper words and deeds after the game, regardless of rhetorical pressure to their own endorsement of business advertising, suspected of violating the rights and interests of sponsors of the national team, etc., but also because of the media revealed Li Tie as the head coach of the national team is still working part-time in Wuhan salon, earn a high salary, intervene in the salon player transfers, and with a brokerage company together with the "operation" of the national players 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 caused by the pressure is undoubtedly huge, so that the national team internal more discordant voices, but also to a large extent to sway the relevant part of the decision-making, and become an important reason to accelerate Li Tie's dismissal.
Li Tie class, but Chinese soccer is still on a variety of cream expensive "class". If Chinese soccer managers can not learn from the Li Tie incident, Chinese soccer will be difficult to completely get rid of the low-level repetitive construction of the circle.
