Li Tie (1977-), footballer
In the press "overturned" incident, has long become his coaching career routine. Back in the days when he was coaching Hebei Huaxia Happiness, he shocked the industry by blasting Guo Bingyan, the national team leader, at a press conference. It all started with some minor friction over the recruitment of international players, and Guo Bingyan demanded that Li Tie, as a local coach, should actively cooperate with the FA. This provoked Li Tie's anger: "What's wrong with local coaches?" The incident occurred suddenly, even the club management were caught off guard, can only emergency drive to Beijing, to deal with the crisis.
During his time coaching Wuhan, Li Tie also slammed Shenhua's tactical system at a press conference, calling it "unadvanced", which sparked strong resentment among Shenhua fans and earned him the nickname "Li Advanced".
Since taking over as the national team's head coach, Li Tie has always spoken highly, set goals and emphasized objective difficulties in his post-match conferences, sparking heated debates almost every time.
After the 0-1 loss with Japan, Li Tie boasted that through this game to harvest determination, "our national team only our country people can lead well", incredible. After the 2-3 loss to Saudi Arabia, he compared the team to "a child without a home", except for a small room, can not go anywhere. Although it seems reasonable, but Li Tie did not realize that his irresponsible expression, for those who provide quality logistical support for the national team team, is undoubtedly a huge blow.
Character shortcomings and crisis communication skills deficiencies magnified
On the map of China, the Northeast has always been known as an outgoing personality, good at expression, Shenyang people Li Tie is no exception, he dares to say, can say. But in the exchange with the media, Li Tie has never grasped this degree, should not say, should not say nonsense. This character in his coaching in the Super League has been revealed, but then Hebei Huaxia Happiness and Wuhan Zhuoer as the league's mid-tier teams, the attention is limited, his character defects have not been fully exposed.
In contrast, the attention of the national team has increased geometrically. As the head coach of the national team, Li Tie lives under the microscope of the media and fans all the time, and a micro-expression or a simple expression may be magnified infinitely. From this point of view, Li Tie's personality ego, expression of the pursuit of individuality, arbitrary, coupled with a long-term relationship with the media is not harmonious, frequently triggered by the social hotspot is also an inevitable result.
In addition, a long time overseas closed, the team's poor performance plus the media and fans of the verbal attack, these are easy to trigger Li Tie's own anxiety accumulation. Coach is also a person, Li Tie than this group of international players are not older than a few years. The outside world is generally concerned about the psychological fatigue of the international players at the same time, often ignoring the coaching staff and logistics team to withstand greater psychological pressure. Li Tie has revealed that, due to the loss of the 40 strong match at home, he and the team leader Zhang He anxiety to three days and three nights did not sleep, the psychological pressure can be seen.
Not only that, while bearing their own psychological pressure, as a coaching team and logistics team, but also need to carefully hide their own emotions, not to form a negative impact on the team and players. Such a difficult and delicate subject of sports psychology has long exceeded Li Tie's coaching experience and talent field.
Prolonged anxiety can not be discharged, coupled with the defects of the character level of the joint role, led to Li Tie in the press conference again and again "overturned" type of outbreak. Unfortunately, the 32-minute long Xianglin sister-in-law type speech, through the social media frantic fermentation, not only did not let Li Tie win more sympathy and support, but may be further demonized. I'm afraid this is what Li Tie did not anticipate beforehand.
