In the late afternoon of December 3, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) officially announced through official channels that Li Xiaopeng would be at the helm of our men's football team. The following day, Li Xiaopeng quickly left Wuhan and traveled to Beijing, where he began discussing the specific details of the team's formation and guidance with all parties. At the same time, his former teammate and assistant for many years, former international soccer player Li Jinyu took over his coaching whip in Wuhan and assumed the team's heavy responsibility. For Li Xiaopeng, the construction of a perfect and matching coaching team has become an imminent task. It is reported that the coaching team of the national football team will present a "combination of Chinese and Western" pattern, seems to be a foregone conclusion. Beiqing - Beijing headline reporter revealed that, in view of the special nature of the work of the national football team, Li Xiaopeng took office, will not be Wuhan team's original assistant coach team directly into the national football coaching team. It is reported that the original Wuhan team assistant coaching team, only one with Li Xiaopeng Hu Yu joined the national team. However, as of the afternoon of the 4th, Hu Yu is still in the Wuhan team as a physical fitness coach. After Li Xiaopeng's departure, Wuhan Football Club has confirmed that Li Jinyu, a 44-year-old former international footballer, will take over. Li enjoys a good reputation among domestic fans, and is regarded as the "marksman" among local players in China. As early as 2016, he has been qualified as a professional coach. It is worth mentioning that Li Tie, who stepped down from the national football team, is Li Jin Yu's teammate in the Jianlibao team, Liaozhu football team and the national team, as well as a fellow student of the professional coach training course.
Li Xiaopeng immediately threw himself into the formation of the new national team after properly handing over the work of the Wuhan team. This is also the reason why he traveled to Beijing in a hurry. From the results of Li Xiaopeng's recommendation as the new head coach of the national soccer team, the sports management department has actually intervened in the work related to the men's soccer team in China. This means that, in addition to the coaching team, the team management team members may also face a substantial adjustment, and even do not rule out the possibility of sports management directly "parachute" a system, non-National Football Association representatives. As for who will assist Li Xiaopeng, there is no exact information. Rumor has it that Li Tie coaching period as a goalkeeper coach of the former international football area Chuliang is expected to stay. It is worth noting that Au Chuliang is the only coach in the original national football coaching team who has not coached the Wuhan team with Li Tie. On December 3, the CFA released the "Li Xiaopeng new" announcement, did not make a detailed description of its term and coaching team candidates. From the predicament faced by the national football team in the 12 strong matches and the determination of the relevant parties to choose Li Xiaopeng, its role may not be a "transition" nature. However, the specific cooperation cycle how to define, need to be further negotiation. Even if it is nominally an employer, the CFA is also the main body of the contract with Li Xiaopeng and his team. Therefore, on the future of the national team to go to other issues, also need to wait for the CFA chairman Chen Xuyuan this month 9 after the release of the ban, come to Beijing to communicate with the relevant parties. As for who will assist Li Xiaopeng, this issue may not be entirely in the hands of Li Xiaopeng. Rumor has it that Li Xiaopeng's Spanish assistant Pep, who coached Shandong Taishan (Luneng), is expected to join the national football team with him, but it remains to be seen whether this will come true due to the epidemic and other factors.
