The national soccer team's recent challenges have coincided with the return of former coach Lippi to China as an ambassador and advisor for the Football Association's youth training camp, a move that reveals the team's friendly gesture towards Lippi. Looking back at Lippi's past glories of coaching the national soccer team, he left to return to Europe due to public pressure, despite failing to meet expectations in the World Cup.
Surprisingly, after Lippi's departure, the national soccer team has been plagued with problems, even exposing the hidden corners of the Association, and the entire Association is facing a major purge. In this context, Lippi came across the ocean to become the ambassador and advisor of China's youth training camp, which is undoubtedly a great blessing for the national football team. Lippi has openly criticized China's youth training system, pointing out its shortcomings, and now he has been invited to participate in youth training, showing his deep affection for Chinese soccer.
Although Lippi is not in charge of the national football team, he is eager to solve the deep-rooted problems of the national football team, and as a consultant and ambassador of the youth training camp, he has the ability to dig out potential players in Europe. Giving up his recent work in Europe and choosing to come to China to help is proof of Lippi's strong determination to improve the strength of the national soccer team.
With the help of Lippi and the reform of the Football Association, the national soccer team is expected to take a qualitative leap forward. In the past, why was it difficult to produce 11 world-class soccer stars out of a population of 1.3 billion? Now, after the reform of the Football Association, people are beginning to believe that as long as Chinese soccer continues to improve, the performance in the World Cup will be even better. In fact, the shortcoming of Chinese soccer is the lack of a solid foundation, compared with the soccer powerhouses, the youth training system has yet to be improved.
Lippi joining the youth training camp is undoubtedly good news for China's youth training system. He knows the European youth training model like the back of his hand, and he knows how to improve the quality of youth training. Combined with his great passion for China's youth training, if he can visit China in person, he is expected to rectify the shortcomings of the youth training, promote China's youth training towards specialization, and cultivate more soccer talents. As long as the youth training work is strengthened, Chinese soccer is expected to realize the dream of the World Cup, no longer just a dream.
