On the occasion of the journey to Doha, Qatar to participate in the 2022 World Cup Asian qualifying round of 12, Chen Yongliang, executive minister of the Chinese Football Association (CFA), revealed that the CFA has renewed the contract of Li Tie and his coaching team until 2026, and clarified the approach to the 12-team tournament: fight with all your strength to make it out of the tournament!
Li Tie's contract renewal, the Football Association to fulfill the commitment to show the way
Looking back to the end of 2019, Li Tie and Li Xiaopeng, Wang Baoshan, three local coaches to complete the interview of the national football coach, January 2, 2020, the Chinese Football Association officially announced the appointment of Li Tie as the national team head coach. During Li Tie's reign as coach of the national football team, the world faced the test of the epidemic, especially in the case of Lippi's coaching period of the early stage of the 40 strong tournament foundation is not solid enough, Li Tie with a wave of 4 consecutive victories to lead the team to successfully break into the World Qualification Asian Zone 12.
Someone summarized the Top 40 by noting that

Following the Korea-Japan World Cup qualifiers for the first time in the World Qualifying Tournament after four consecutive victories, Wu Lei in the World Qualifying Tournament field for five consecutive breakthroughs, the national football team is also the second consecutive 40 strong match against the third, fourth and fifth grade team 12 wars to maintain a zero-seal record of the only two (and the South Korean team) teams, while the naturalized players to join the part of the field opponents were running cramps and other phenomena are also worthy of attention.
From the end of the 40-team tournament to the start of the 12-team tournament, rumors about the national team head coach Li Tie's contract renewal are endless, and there are even self media speculation about Lippi's three times in the palace. However, as early as June, the CFA released a signal to renew Li Tie's contract. Chen Xuyuan said in an interview that as long as the team is on the right track, the coaching team should be allowed to work steadily, not to change the head coach after a defeat. Therefore, there is no question of Li Tie's contract renewal. Now, he is leading the team to prepare for the Top 12 tournament.
Before traveling to Doha to meet the first game of the Top 12, the CFA and Li Tie completed the contract extension, which is just "fulfill the promise". The contract will be renewed until 2026, does have its deep meaning. According to the CFA, after comprehensive consideration, the federation, after Li Tie's team scored "satisfactory", from the perspective of long-term development of the team, before signing the long-term contract.
Renewal of the national football coaching staff to the next World Cup cycle of the operational contract, on the one hand, for the long-term stability of the national football development, on the other hand, is also based on the trust of Li Tie team. This initiative is undoubtedly for the national football coaching staff and all players injected a shot in the arm. However, it should be noted that a long paper contract is only a mood and direction of the Association, and can not 100% guarantee that Li Tie and his coaching staff will be able to coach to 2026. Competitive sports, there is no "iron rice bowl".
Union is iron, FA no longer folds
Li Tie as head coach of the national football team since the training ground around the "United is iron" banner has been standard. Li Tie not only united the entire team of the national football team, the renewal of the contract also shows the CFA's trust and support for Li Tie, not verbal "retreat", but through a long paper contract "practical". In the existing personnel (international players) situation, resolutely use the understanding of the players, understand the situation of the team's local coaches, revealing that the CFA in weighing the pros and cons, in the choice of this piece of the head coach do not want to blindly toss again.
In a special period, but also in the outside world under the condition of unanimous decline, the CFA to make such behavior, can be seen that they want to continue to strengthen the authority of Li Tie as the head coach of the national football team, but also take this opportunity to create a unified consensus within the national football team, to enhance the unity of the atmosphere. It is worth noting that, in the renewal of the contract at the same time, the Football Association also stated that the Chinese Football Association Chairman Chen Xuyuan will be involved in the campaign for the 12 strong tournament, do a good job in the service and protection, the organization of the construction of the epidemic prevention and control, the tournament was held, the foreign affairs communication and the media team and other matters. In the hard power is not as good as Japan, Australia and other rivals in the same group, the entire team of the national football team screwed together, teamwork to the extreme, is an important factor to achieve the desired results.
Competition escalates, Li Tie prefers to lead the team to prove himself
The level of competition in the Top 12 is obviously much greater than in the Top 40. Coupled with the impact of the epidemic, some objective factors, including the home field, there are huge variables. However, Li Tie's attitude towards this is very clear: "What can't be changed, enjoy it, all the organization is the best organization." First do a good job to meet the difficulties of the preparation, and then go to spell out the ideal results. In Li Tie's opinion, in the face of Japan and Australia, not without the possibility of winning the game, but the need for players to build confidence through the actual victory.
At the end of the 40 strong match, former national football coach Zhu Guanghu affirmed the work of the coaching team headed by Li Tie. Part of the media also pointed out that Li Tie's transformation of the troops is very successful, and the game in the emergence of problems can be adjusted in a timely manner, make tactical formation changes. Zhu Guanghu believes that this requires both courage and wisdom. 12 strong when the difficulty of the escalation, expect Li Tie and his team can still "IQ online" to prove themselves.
Strive to get out of the line, football agreement policy has the bottom line
At the same time as Li Tie and the coaching team to renew the contract, the Football Association has also put forward guidelines for this 12-stage tournament. Chen Yongliang said: "Our policy is 'fight, strive to get out of the line', in fact, we are very clear, our condition, the opponent's condition, not fight must have no chance, fight the final results how, who can not say."
On the whole, the CFA on the World Preliminary Round 12 for the national football team "formulated" the policy or direction, but also left some space and room. For most of the fans who love Chinese soccer, of course, I hope that the national football team can break out of Asia to the world, but under the existing conditions, if you can play on the field to "strive" the spirit of the appearance, show "hard work" of the quality of the will, then should be "I will support our team with all my heart!
