During the period, the global through the epidemic test, in the early 40 (Lippi coaching period) rooted in the situation of instability, with a wave of 4 consecutive victories to successfully lead the team into the World Qualification Asian Zone 12.
Someone summarized the Top 40 by noting that

Getting four consecutive wins in a WC qualifier for the first time since the Korea-Japan World Cup qualifier, and for the first time a player (Wu Lei) has broken through in five consecutive WC matches.

It is also the only two (with South Korea) teams that have kept a shutout record in 12 matches for two consecutive Top 40 matches against third-, fourth-, and fifth-ranking teams, and of course, it is the first time that naturalized players have helped out, and some of the other matches were rare in that the opponents ran into cramps and the national players were able to fight until the end and so on.
After the end of the Top 40 to the start of the Top 12, this period of time about the national team head coach Li Tie contract renewal rumors a lot, some self media even began to speculate about Lippi three into the palace. However, as early as June, the CFA released a signal to renew Li Tie's contract. Chen Xuyuan said in an interview: as long as the team in the right track, then the coaching team should be allowed to stabilize the work, do not fight a losing battle to change the head coach. So Li Tie does not have the problem of contract renewal. Now he is leading the team to prepare for the 12 strong match.
Therefore, before heading to Doha to usher in the first match of the Top 12, the CFA and Li Tie completed the renewal of the contract is just "fulfillment of the promise", of course, all of a sudden renewed to 2026 does have deep meaning. According to the CFA's statement, after comprehensive consideration, the federation in the Li Tie team played "satisfied" score, from the perspective of long-term development of the team to say, before signing a long contract.

Coaching staff to the next World Cup cycle of the operational contract, on the one hand, for the long-term stable development of Chinese soccer, on the other hand, is also based on the trust of Li Tie team. This behavior undoubtedly gives

The coaching staff and overall players injected a strong needle into the whole team. However, it should be noted that a long paper contract is only an attitude and direction of the CFA, and is not a 100% guarantee that Li Tie and his coaching staff will be able to rest assured that he will coach until 2026. Competitive sports, there is no "iron rice bowl".
Union is iron, FA no longer folds
Li Tie has served as

Since the head coach, huge banners around the practice field saying "Unity is Iron" have become standard.

The whole team. The renewal of the contract, but also see the CFA to Li Tie's trust and firm support, and not verbal "retreat", but a long contract "pragmatic". In the existing personnel (international players) situation, adhere to the understanding of the players, understand the situation of the team's local coaches, revealing that the CFA in weighing the pros and cons, in the selection of this piece of the head coach do not want to blindly toss.
Special period, but also in the outside world consistent downgrade situation, the CFA made such behavior, you can see that they want to continue to strengthen Li Tie as a

head coach's prestige and also used it to build

Consensus of internal unity and enhance the atmosphere of unity. It is worth noting that in the renewal of the contract at the same time, the Football Association also said that the Chinese Football Association President Chen Xuyuan will be involved in the campaign for the 12 strong tournament, to do a good job in the service and protection, the organization and construction of the epidemic prevention and control, the tournament held in the foreign affairs communication and the media team and other matters. In the hard power is not as good as Japan, Australia and other rivals in the same group.

The whole team screws together and maximizes teamwork, which is an important factor in achieving the desired results.
Competition escalates, Li Tie prefers to lead the team to prove himself
The level of competition in the 12-team tournament is obviously much greater than in the 40-team tournament. Coupled with the impact of the epidemic, some objective factors, including the home field, there are huge variables. But Li Tie's attitude towards this is very clear, "what can't be changed, enjoy it, all organizations are the best organizations." First do a good job to meet the difficulties of the preparation, and then go to spell out the desired results. In Li Tie's opinion, the face of Japan and Australia, not without the possibility of winning the game, but the need for players to build confidence through the actual victory.
At the time of playing the Top 40, the former
national soccer team
Zhu Guanghu, the manager, affirmed the work of the coaching team headed by Li Tie. Part of the media also pointed out that Li Tie's transformation of the troops is very successful, and the competition problems can be adjusted in time to make tactical formation changes. Zhu Guanghu believes that this not only requires courage, but also requires wisdom. 12 strong when the difficulty of the escalation, expect Li Tie and his team can still "IQ online" to prove themselves.
Aiming for the line, the FA approach has a bottom line
At the same time as Li Tie and the coaching team to renew the contract, the Football Association has also put forward the guidelines for this 12-stage tournament. Chen Yongliang said: "Our policy is 'fight, strive to get out of the line', in fact, we are also very clear, our situation, the opponent's situation, not fight certainly no chance, fight the final results how, who can not say."
In a nutshell, the CFA about this World Preliminary 12 for the
national soccer team
The "proposed" guidelines still have a direction, but leave some space and room for maneuver. For most of the fans who love Chinese soccer, of course, I hope that

Can break out of Asia to the world, but in the existing conditions if the field can be played on the "strive" spirit, show "struggle" quality of will, then we should "iron heart"! "I'm going to support the Chinese team! (Mr. Zhuo Aoyou)
