The national soccer team's training is on track, preparing for the upcoming Asian Cup group stage. At the same time, the same group rival Qatar soccer world ushered in a personnel earthquake, the coach position changed hands. December 7, soccer newspaper pointed out that this change for our national team may be a good news. However, not all rational fans agree with this view. Is the negative impact on the opponent equal to the good for oneself? The answer may not be so clear. The importance of the Asian Cup should not be underestimated, but compared to the preliminaries, its importance is obviously inferior. Without self-improvement, even if the Asian Cup group stage in the standout, so what?
Let's take class performance as an example. Suppose you are always second to last in your class. Is it "good" for you if, just before an exam, the person at the bottom of the class is unable to attend because of an emergency? On the other hand, if you have been at the bottom of the class for a long time, and the second-to-last student is absent for a similar reason, the order of ranking may be reversed for a short time. But is that a "plus"? Not really. A truly strong self comes from hard work!
Spanish coach Max Lopez has been sacked after just 10 months in charge of Coach Queiroz. Lopez coached Wakrah in the Qatar League and led the team to the Asian Cup, Qatar Football Association officials announced. Lopez, 61, joined Hope Soccer Schools in 2012 before spending three years as a coach at Auburn FC, where he knew the Qatari youth training system inside and out.In the summer of 2017, he was mentored by former Seaport coach Leko.
In 2018, Lopez took over at Wakra Qatar and led the team to a successful promotion. The Qatar Football Association is confident in his ability to put out fires. Soccer Daily analyzed that Qatar's change of coach may be beneficial to the national team, because the new coach has limited time to examine the players and tactical integration. Compared with Queiroz, Lopez lacks national team coaching experience. However, some fans believe that Qatar's international players will mainly play in their home league and the new coach will adapt quickly.
One month prior to the opening of the Asian Cup tournament (December 12), teams are required to submit a roster of 18 players at the latest and 50 players at the most.
