Exploring the soccer world in China, the unique management system and the surrounding environment are intertwined, giving the national team coaching team a limited space for self-determination. Even though Lippi has a contract in hand, he has repeatedly stated that senior leaders should not intervene in the operation of the national team. But the reality is that any decision is subject to the will of the Football Association and the General Administration. Even when it comes to selecting players, it is difficult for him to stick to his personal philosophy. The performance of the national soccer team in international matches is therefore not as good as it should be. This series of difficulties, revealing the deep-seated reasons for the continued decline of China's men's football - conservative and rigid management, bureaucracy prevails, the national football team is difficult to rise.
Nevertheless, Lippi did not have direct criticism of Li Tie, but recognized his coaching talent, and confessed that he played a role in Li Tie's development from the club to the national team. When Li Tie first took charge of the coaching whip, the results were mediocre. But later, he was able to follow Lippi in the Evergrande club to learn, and in Lippi's advice gradually on the national team manager position. Li Tie is grateful to Lippi, and in the future he may have time to review the past and consider his coaching path.
