The national football team coached by Li Xiaopeng suffered a painful loss to Vietnam on the first day of the year, a scene that has become a pain in the hearts of fans. As the years pass by and another year rolls by, the CFA can't help but hope to make some adjustments to the coaching lineup on the occasion of the Lunar New Year. However, this sudden decision provoked a strong reaction from the fans. A mysterious haze seems to be hanging over the Chinese soccer world. Fans have accused the coaching change as a symptomatic rather than a curative measure. They firmly believe that only by taking complete control of the whole situation behind the scenes can Chinese soccer truly see the light of day.
According to Beijing Youth Daily, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) has lost trust in local coaches, so during the Spring Festival holiday before the Lunar New Year, they are actively searching for a foreign coach who can lead the national football team to start a new training journey at the beginning of the new year. The FA expects the foreign coach to have a deep understanding of Asian soccer, be able to integrate quickly, and have the experience to lead the team in international competitions.
It is reported that those coaches who have coached in China and achieved remarkable results, such as Paulo Bento of Chongqing Lifan, Ola Loyo, who led Jiangsu to win the Chinese Super League title, and Stojkovic, the former coach of Guangzhou R&F, have become the favorites for the new coaches, who are expected to lead the national football team to a new glory.
Although replacing the coach is an inevitable move for the national team, fans generally believe that for Chinese soccer, the coach replacement is only a stopgap measure, and the real key lies in eradicating the dark forces in the soccer world. Only by fundamentally solving these problems can the performance of the Chinese men's soccer team be substantially improved. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's a long way off for the national soccer team to step onto the World Cup stage again.
It is worth mentioning that the current situation of Chinese men's soccer is really not optimistic. Chen Xuyuan, the chairman of the soccer association, had expressed his willingness to resign to show his introspection, but the higher-ups did not accept his request. He must be responsible for the current situation of all national soccer teams. I believe that fans are waiting for that day when the national soccer team can usher in a real spring.
