It is often said that a person's character often shapes his or her destiny. In our soccer world, Gao Hongbo is undoubtedly a controversial figure. Does he have the talent to coach? The league and the national team, how to weigh the two? Although Gao Hongbo's performance in the league is not bad, leading the Xiamen Blue Lions and Changchun Yatai to achieve certain results, but the national team level has not been able to give a satisfactory answer. In the storm of public opinion, his coaching career came to an end. Successor either Lippi or Camacho, Gao Hongbo is just a momentary pawn of the FA, and did not really get trust and high hopes. From Wei Di era transition to Cai Zhenghua era, and then to Chen Xuyuan era, the soccer world's two gold masters - Wang Jianlin and Xu Jiayin, one enabled Camacho led to the dismissal of Gao Hongbo, the other is Xu Jiayin enabled Lippi, the same let Gao Hongbo go.
Perhaps Gao Hongbo's departure as manager was not due to a question of competence. After all, the rich bigwigs despise him from the inside, and they need advocates who are relevant to their interests. No matter how deep Lippi or Camacho's feelings are for the national soccer team, they are irrelevant. Both times, Gao Hongbo was fired after the team achieved good results. The first time, in particular, Gao Hongbo was prepared and developed a number of players, such as Deng Zhuoxiang. However, he also activated players who worked against him, Du Zhenyu and Wang Dong. Some see this as a character flaw in him, being prone to holding grudges. However, doesn't Lippi also like to use Evergrande players? And what are the reasons for that?
Gao Hongbo should be recognized for his ability among local coaches and is quite well prepared. Most of the players were handpicked by himself. Let's look at Lippi's list, when the team took the field to play, Lippi couldn't even match the players' names. Even Dong Lu said that a luxury team like Lippi should at least memorize the names of the players even if they are old. When Milo came to China, he alone was able to call out the names of Sun Jihai, Li Tie, Fan Zhiyi and a whole lot of other players because he was focused and impressed. So why did Lippi return to coach the national soccer team for the second time? The reason is nothing more than a lack of money, in order to pay off the debt for his son. Therefore, Gao Hongbo, a resilient character, is unconvinced. In this selection of Li Tie, Gao Hongbo strongly supports Li Tie, because Li Tie is his former self.
