At night, on September 13th in Sharjah, the Chinese team started the first outdoor training in the outdoor base after returning to the team. The next day, a news about "the national football delegation held an emergency meeting, Li Tie led the team to vow to make a military order" spread like lightning on the network. However, Beiqing-Beijing headline reporter verified that the Chinese team since arriving in Sharjah, mainly in a state of rest and recuperation. Chen Xuyuan, chairman of the National Football Association did not organize any meeting during this period, the so-called "Li Tie made military orders, Wu Xi voting plan" are false.
Rumor has it that Tran Xuyen convened the core members of the delegation at 4 p.m. UAE time on the 12th and the meeting lasted an hour and 50 minutes. Head coach Li Tie detailed matters such as improving physical fitness, daily training, and confrontation drills, and won a round of applause for renewing his marching orders to beat Vietnam. National football team captain Wu Xi made a statement on behalf of all athletes.
In fact, despite the two consecutive defeats suffered by the Chinese team in the Round of 12, the National Football Association (NFA) and the coaching staff have fully anticipated the gap with the strongest teams in Asia and the fierce competition in the Round of 12 before they left for the tournament. The team is currently training hard in the serene atmosphere of Sharjah. A member of the delegation said bluntly, "This is pure nonsense, even the positions of the personnel are wrong and some of the names are wrong. The motive for publishing this rumor is baffling."
It is reported that after the end of the 40 strong match, the National Football Association and Li Tie work team signed a five-year contract extension. Although the national coaching contract inevitably contains "with the team mission objectives" and other restrictive provisions, but the National Football Association can sign such a long contract with Li Tie before the 12 strong match, but also on the coaching team's trust embodiment. This trust means that the Association will give the coaching team enough time and space to prove their ability. Therefore, Li Tie's position is quite solid, and the delegation will not add extra pressure to the team.
