During Li Tie's tenure at the helm, even with the challenges of the global epidemic, he managed to lead the team into the Asian Zone 12 of the World Qualifying Tournament with a wave of four consecutive victories in the early stages of the 40-team tournament (Lippi's era) when the team's foundations were not stable.

It is also one of the first teams to maintain a 12-game shutout against third, fourth and fifth-ranked teams in the Top 40 for the first time since the World Cup qualifiers in Korea and Japan, while the naturalized players' boost and the players' hustle and bustle are also commendable.
After the end of the Top 40 to the start of the Top 12, about the national team head coach Li Tie contract renewal rumors are endless, some of the self media and even speculation that Lippi three times to return. However, as early as June, the CFA released a signal to renew Li Tie's contract. Chen Xuyuan said in an interview that as long as the team moves forward on the right track, the coaching team should work stably and should not change the head coach due to defeat. Therefore, there is no doubt about Li Tie's contract renewal. Now, he is leading the team to prepare for the Top 12 tournament.
Before traveling to Doha to meet the first game of the Top 12, the CFA and Li Tie completed the renewal of the contract, which is just a reflection of the "fulfillment of the promise". Of course, the renewal of the contract until 2026 does have a deep meaning. According to the CFA, the contract was signed after a comprehensive consideration of Li Tie's team's "satisfaction" score, and from the perspective of long-term development of the team.

However, it should be noted that this long-term contract only represents an attitude and direction of the CFA, and does not guarantee that Li Tie and his coaching staff will be able to coach until 2026. In competitive sports, there is no "iron rice bowl".

Since the head coach, the banner "unity is iron" on the training ground has become standard. Li Tie not only united the whole team, the contract renewal also shows the CFA's trust and practical support for Li Tie.

The whole team screws together and maximizes teamwork, which is an important factor in achieving the desired results.
Competition escalates as Li Tie wants to lead the team to prove himself
The level of competition in the 12-team tournament is obviously more intense than that of the 40-team tournament. Coupled with the impact of the epidemic, some objective factors, including the home field, there are great variables. However, Li Tie's attitude towards this is very clear, "If you can't change things, just enjoy it, all organizations are the best organizations." First do a good job to meet the difficulties of the preparation, and then go to fight for the desired results. In Li Tie's opinion, the face of Japan and Australia and other opponents, not without the possibility of winning the game, but the need for players to build confidence through the actual victory.

Zhu Guanghu, the head coach, affirmed the homework of Li Tie's team. Part of the media also pointed out that Li Tie's transformation of the team is very successful, and the game can be adjusted in time and make tactical formation changes when problems arise. Zhu Guanghu believes that this requires courage and wisdom. In the case of the escalation of the difficulty of the 12 strong match, expect Li Tie and his team can still "IQ online" to prove themselves.
Strive to get out of the line, the football agreement policy has the bottom line
At the same time as Li Tie and the coaching team to renew the contract, the CFA also put forward the objectives for this 12-stage tournament. Chen Yongliang said: "Our goal is to 'fight, strive to get out of the line', in fact, we all know very well, our situation, the opponent's situation, do not fight must be a little chance no, fight the final results how, who can not say."
Overall, the CFA has been very pleased with this World Qualifying 12 for the

The "proposed" goals still have a direction, but leave some space and room for manoeuvre. For most of the fans who love Chinese soccer, of course, they hope that
