The best position is the second winger in a 4-4-2 formation or the winger in a 4-3-3 formation, however, during Li Tie's tenure, he has hardly ever used a three-man midfield-...

He's still aiming high.

"When I was a kid I said I hoped to be worth 60 or 70 million dollars one day, today I hope that in the future, whether I'm 40 or 50 years old, whether it's as a player, a coach, or a youth coach, I will make sure that the national soccer team is integrated internationally!"
