After the national football team regretted to say goodbye to the game in advance, a record defeat to the Vietnamese team, the public's attention quickly focused on the "new helmsman Li Xiaopeng can keep the seat of command" this hot topic. Even though Li Xiaopeng took the initiative to assume responsibility after two consecutive defeats, but in his words, the sensitive topic of the marshalship has never been touched.
It is reported that during the isolated training in Suzhou, the coaching team of the national football team is arranging regular training on the one hand, and reviewing the two recent matches on the other hand, to formulate a strategy for the last two rounds of the next round of the 12-team tournament. This indicates that Li Xiaopeng's coaching team has not yet drawn a conclusion to their work with the national team.
In fact, Li Xiaopeng's decision to stay or go is not his personal decision. When he was chosen, it was out of consideration for the future. This can not help but reminiscent of the national football team in Russia after four rounds of the World Cup, the Football Association resolutely invited the famous coach Lippi's scenario - to invite the "Silver Fox" to take over, the goal is not unattainable "lead the team into the World Cup final round", but focus on the renewal and 2019 Asian Cup. World Cup final round", but focus on the team's renewal and 2019 Asian Cup. Li Xiaopeng's team can hold on to the 2023 Asian Cup, which needs to be carefully considered by all parties, but at least for the time being, he led the team to complete the journey of the current Top 12, seems to be a foregone conclusion.
The national football team's loss on the road in Vietnam has dealt a blow to the team and even Chinese soccer. For the loss and the exit of the Top 12, the team management and coaching team will reflect deeply, about the responsibility of the problem, the future will also have a clearer answer.
