In the afternoon of June 6, the national football training list was freshly released, the lineup is still made up of 24 tigers, but behind the lineup there are dark currents. The most notable change is the leader of the team, from Shao Jiayi to Cui Enlei. This is the fourth leader of the national team since 2022, behind the mapping of the subtle adjustment of the national football team.
Looking back at history, in 2021 when Li Tie coached the national football team, the post of team leader by Zhang He, vice minister of the steady. Li Tie dismissed, Li Xiaopeng took over, Zhang He although reluctant, but the national team leader position transferred to the hands of Qi Jun. Qi Jun led the national football team into the 12 strong match, shoulder heavy responsibility.
In March 2023, the national soccer team welcomed Yankovic to the helm, Zhang He retired to the background, Shao Jiayi temporarily acting as the leader, but in the U20 national team leader position. The Asian Youth Championship in Uzbekistan was in full swing before Shao was able to remove both burdens and return to the national soccer team.
This time, Shao Jiayi once again stepped aside to make way for a new player, and Cui Enlai was appointed to the position. Cui Enlei, a veteran of the Football Association, has worked with Dui and Frado, and has been deeply involved in the Football Association for many years. After moving to the referee department, Cui Enlei is still dedicated and hardworking.
It is worth mentioning that Shao Jiayi is no longer the leader of the team, but often accompanied by Yankovic around, discussing the country, help the national football team to select the best talent.
