Various voices have been revealed recently.

The core of the public outrage was not his performance in leading the team, but his controversial remarks, especially the alleged violation of "posting pictures with goods" on social media platforms. Some members of the media and media personalities argued that

It is only then that the Association will activate the Preliminary Plan.

In fact, regarding whether or not to change the manager, China

The Association is clearly in a dilemma.

Currently, China is ranked second last in Group B of the 12-team tournament, six points away from third-ranked Australia. Next, China will face Japan and Vietnam on the road in late January and early February next year. If they fail to score enough points, the exit could happen on the occasion of the Lunar New Year.

Out. If the "change of manager" becomes final, then the new manager will undoubtedly take over a "hot potato". Imagine the impact on any new manager with "World Cup exit" as a starting point.

Behind the lack of skill is a gap in talent development. On the "solid youth training, based on the long-term" call has continued for many years. However, similar fundamental guidelines and the national team's approach to competitions are often contradictory. This shows that China

The Association and the relevant parties in the issue of changing the manager, really need to be "time points, changing the managerial policy" to carry out a careful study and judgment. Once the judgment is wrong, then the work, the team, individuals may cause a new round of damage.

With China

Moving to Shanghai in early December, both China

Association chairman Chen Xuyuan had already communicated with Li Tie last week regarding his series of controversial behaviors. As it stands now, Li Tie has been put in a rather passive position. As for the team's next preparations, including the question of whether or not to change the manager, the Chinese
