Recently, the Qatar International Cup, a major event in the soccer world, has attracted global attention, but for us as a nation, it has brought double pressure.
When Japan, South Korea and other Asian teams have stepped into the international arena, China's men's soccer team is even difficult to qualify to touch, can only wait silently at home, and the former manager Li Tie was involved in the storm, the national football team internal turmoil!
About the "national football" banter is endless, some people jokingly said: "national football, only the experience of losing the ball, not the experience of victory; this is not empty."
While Liu Guoliang led China's table tennis to international prominence, Li Tie's record at the helm of the national soccer team was not encouraging and was suppressed by international teams.
One wonders why the national soccer team has been reduced to such a state.
The reasons are both deep-rooted and superficial. Today, we will talk about the former "men's soccer coach" Li Tie behind the story, see how he is from the brilliant moment to fall into the abyss!
Li Tie was born in a family of intellectuals, his parents and older brother are intellectuals, he loved playing soccer since childhood, at the age of 5 into the children's soccer class, and then all the way to receive professional training, at the age of 20 because of outstanding performance was selected for the national team.
In his 14-year career, Li Tie has had a great deal of success.
He represented the national team to win the runner-up in the Bangkok Asian Games, was elected Mr. National Football Team, the best player of League A, participated in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan and was noticed by European clubs, and was also awarded the First Class Medal of the National Sports and Physical Education Medal for his outstanding performance.
Li Tie's coaching career began in 2012, and so did his relationship with Xu Jiayin!
As we all know, Xu Jiayin is a real estate tycoon who is passionate about soccer and sees the huge business opportunities behind it; in 2010, he spent 100 million dollars to buy the Guangzhou team, which had been sentenced to the Central League due to suspicion of match-fixing, and renamed it Guangzhou Evergrande Football Club.

After the team was built, a series of basic equipment can not be missing, but also accordingly trained a number of our local soccer coach, Li Tie is one of them.
In 2012, Li Tie was appreciated by head coach Lippi and Xu Jiayin, and started to work as an assistant physical fitness coach at Guangzhou Evergrande, and also started his coaching career from "heaven to hell".
Evergrande's three years is the period of Li Tie's reserve coaching talent and the period of his budding businessman thinking.
During this period, the rejuvenated Guangzhou Evergrande achieved brilliant results.
They became the first defending Super League champions, the first AFC Cup and Super Cup champions, and also achieved the third consecutive Super League title and the AFC Champions League title, among others.
Evergrande's brilliant results gave Li Tie a wonderful start to his coaching career.

It is reported that Hui Kayan invested nearly $13 billion in soccer, with the return behind it greatly exceeding the initial investment.
CCTV news reports, Evergrande brand expansion, various advertisements to join, etc., not only let Evergrande become the national football team as well as the business card of Guangzhou, but also earn a lot of money to realize the double harvest of word of mouth and interests.
The benefits that Xu Jiayin brought through soccer also gave Li Tie a great insight, and from then on he was no longer just a soccer man.
After Li Tie left Guangzhou Evergrande in 2015, he served as the head coach of Hebei Huaxia Happiness soccer team, Wuhan Zhuoer soccer team and China's national men's soccer selection team.
This period is Li Tie side of the coach side of the devil period, there are results, but more questions.
In terms of his coaching results, as a local coach is considered qualified, compared to the Saudi Arabia and Japan World Cup level, but also can see that he is capable of.
However, there are so many little off-field maneuvers, and there are so many big and small storms at various times.
According to media sources, Li Tie was reported during his first stint as head coach at Hebei Huaxia Happiness.
In the 2015 season, Li Tie took over Hebei Huaxia Happiness and snatched a place in the Chinese Super League promotion with an astonishing nine rounds, eight wins and one draw, in which some say there was alleged match-fixing.
At the end of 2015, the Dalian Football Association (DFA) received two whistleblower letters, one about Hebei Huaxia Happiness buying out opponents to play fake football, and one involving the inaction of Li Tie, who was coaching Huaxia Happiness at the time, which was ultimately squared away for a variety of reasons.
There was even more cattiness during his time at Wuhan Zall.
From November 8 to 10, 2022, China's Football Association held a three-day professional-level offline coaching training in Dalian, and on the second day of training, Li Tie was directly taken away by the relevant parts of the investigation.
It happened so suddenly that the final group photo was not taken in time.
The investigation is said to have been reported by old owner Wuhan Zall.
About Li Tie and Wuhan Zall's "love-hate relationship", can be said to be long and stinky.
On November 16, 2017, Wuhan Zhuoer Football Salon announced the appointment of Li Tie to the triple role of general manager and sports director of the salon as well as head coach of the team.
This practice of one person being the general manager, sporting director and head coach of a saloon at the same time is rare and not very common sense in the world of international soccer, and the blow can be devastating when talent is not properly appointed.
Some netizens spit soccer in addition to Li Tie has no other talent, or Wuhan Zhuoer have any handle in the hands of Li Tie.
It can be said that Li Tie in Wuhan Zhuoer during the monopoly of power, in addition to the 2018 season to lead Wuhan Zhuoer super success, but also no other big results, but repeatedly use the position of profit.
There are revelations that Li Tie had given a young player's annual salary rose from 2 million to 6 million, and Li Tie's business company will have to take half of it, the money flows into their own pockets.
During his time at Wuhan Salon, Li Tie's annual salary was to rise from 12 million at the start to 30 million yuan, all after taxes.
On top of that, Li Tie is still on the payroll at the Wuhan Salon after his stint as national team manager in 2020.
Li Tie has also borrowed in the national team to Wuhan team to ask for salary, Wuhan also exploded Li Tie coaching during the incorruptible, the two sides decent to make a very unpleasant.
Out of external pressure and multiple considerations, Li Tie finally posted on a platform, said that in order to focus more on doing a good job of the national team's operations, decided to resign from the relevant post in Wuhan Zall.
However, according to the news, resigned Li Tie and Wuhan Zhuoer did not cut off relations, private also intervene in matters related to the salon, it seems to be just a decent job done quite in place.
Li Tie things intensify, to the point, a netizen inventory of Li Tie's business map.
Look no further.
It is reported that Li Tie's affiliates have 9 companies, including shares in 6 companies, the business involves soccer training, player agency and stadium operations and other aspects of the soccer industry.
His assets are huge, only one bank in Shenyang was found to have deposits of more than one hundred million dollars, the total assets dare not imagine, how much of the money is clean.
On top of that, the foreign mansions are not to mention the daughters who have all been sent to study in the United States.
This kind of celebrities at home to make money abroad to enjoy the practice has always been sensitive, besides, Li Tie also inaction, also deserved to be arrested.
The best known example of "power for personal gain" is the partnership with the AICO brand.
In 2014, Li Tie brought Aigo's products to the team when he was an assistant coach of the national soccer team, and in 2017, Li Tie served as a shareholder of Aigo, which became a national soccer team equipment service provider in August.
This step by step calculation, say Li Tie in which did not obtain profiteering who can believe!
In order to praise Li Tie's outstanding contribution to soccer, built in Shenyang named after Li Tie's soccer park, due to Li Tie's jersey was No. 8, the park is called Li Tie No. 8 Football Park.
Ironically, after Li Tie's accident, the relevant signs with the word "Li Tie" in the park have been removed.
True recognition comes from the heart, and external objects that cannot stand the test of time are not empty in the end.
In addition to commercial disputes, there were also the much publicized "replacement incidents".
November 12, 2021, in our team and Oman's game, originally in the lead of the national football team was Oman 1-1 draw, ultimately failed to win, more fans shouted "Li Tie class".
Some netizens said that the two substitutions in the match affected the result, and the whole rhythm of the national football team before the substitution was very stable.
There are also netizens who say that throughout the game, putting aside the tactical aspects, Luo Guofu and other naturalized players played really well, and replacing him is equal to pumping out luck.
On the evening of November 16, Li Tie responded to substitutions as well as tactical issues in an interview after the 1-1 draw with Australia, sparking public concern.
He shows that he spends more moments on soccer than anyone else, and that no one knows more about the national soccer team and its players than he does, and on top of that there are all sorts of mindless statements.
Netizens have shown that Li Tie talk is really a big bragging rights, the results are not with the mouth out, the facts on the pitch proved to be doing not work.
The controversial remarks not only drew trolls from the audience, but also caused headaches for the officials, who deleted the record of their remarks on the platform to show their dissatisfaction.
Overall, questions about work and money accompanied Li Tie for the second half of his coaching career.
At present, Li Tie is being investigated by the Central and Hubei Provincial Supervisory Commissions for suspected serious violations of the law. The former national goalkeeper Zhang Lu, former national footballer Zheng Bin and three others have also been taken away for investigation.
According to Li Xuan, the internal director of Football Newspaper Nation, Zheng Bin is a very prominent presence in the affairs of Li Tie's team, which is the reason why Li Tie has taken him with him for so many years no matter whether he is in Huaxia or Zuoer, and even when he arrives at the national team.
In short, the investigation of Li Tie case is still continuing, whether it will involve more people we do not know, in short, the dark status quo of Chinese soccer is undoubtedly, if Li Tie can set off a big change is also excellent, we will wait and see!
Throughout Li Tie's sports and coaching career, a variety of honors to prove that he is talented in soccer, but the eventual fall of the same also proved the greed of human nature.
Results and harvests are directly proportional to the lack of good results but always want to fill the waistband of the pants, Li Tie's heart has long been incorrect, and ultimately suffered all the people of the country to ridicule, the fall into the abyss of the legal system is inevitable.
Whether it is Xu Jiayin brought him to see the power behind the capital, or his nature or perhaps the environment, a generation of famous teachings on the decline.
If you can, also expect Li Tie things can open a gap, to the national football from top to bottom a big rectification, I wish the national football can really be good!
