Li Tie's four-game winning streak in charge of national soccer comes to an abrupt end as substitution decision draws controversy
In the first round of the Asian Qualifying Round 12, the national soccer team lost 0-3 to Australia. Prior to this match, Li Tie had won four consecutive official matches after coaching the national soccer team, and a total of 12 consecutive victories if friendly matches are included.

After the match, the foreign media WeGlobalFootball calculated the probability of the 12 teams to get out of the line - the probability of the national football team to get out of the line directly is only 0.88%, which is ranked the last in the group and the third from the bottom among the 12 teams, which is only higher than Lebanon and Syria.

In this game, Li Tie exhausted the substitution quotas, but the naturalized international player Alan as well as Luo Guofu and others failed to get a chance to play, and such substitution strategy also triggered some controversies.
Unlike previous World Cup qualifiers, the outside world is full of expectations for the national football team's impact on the World Cup due to the addition of a number of naturalized players. The first task of the naturalized players is to solve the problem of the offensive end.
Alan made 12 appearances in the Chinese Super League this season, scoring 3 goals, sending 5 assists and producing 8 goals. In the last 4 rounds of the 40-team tournament, Alan played a total of 137 minutes, but scored 3 goals, and each goal took only 46 minutes, which is very efficient.
Luo Guofu was transformed into a "back" by Guangzhou Evergrande boss Carnavaro this season, but still delivered three goals in nine matches.
Unfortunately, Li Tie not only didn't give Alan and Luo Guofu a chance in this game, he still didn't choose these two when he made consecutive substitutions in the second half.
Some fans questioned, "Alan and Lok Guofu are in such good form in the league, why aren't they allowed to play? What are they both for anyway?"
And soccer celebrity Peng Weiguo commented, "Why not on the two naturalized players Alan and Luo Guofu, if not used, naturalized for what?"
