The Chinese team's defeat in the Asian Cup had a huge impact.
Especially last year, when Chinese teams flourished in the league, AFC Champions League, and Club World Cup, they did not even make it to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, which was even more criticized.
Although Australia defeated the Chinese team and finally won the Asian Cup trophy, can Australia's strength compare with Real Madrid?
What is most unacceptable to everyone is that there is not a single Longjiang Athletic player in the Chinese team competing in the Asian Cup.
At that time, the Football Association and head coach Perrin both said categorically that the strongest man was already in the team. Now these words still ring in my ears, but they have become a huge joke.
The first consequence of the defeat in the Asian Cup was that the unified sponsor plan planned by the Football Association came to nothing.
The higher-ups spoke directly and rejected this decision.
Originally, the Football Association wanted to package the Chinese Super League's jersey and shoe sponsors, which made various clubs very dissatisfied. This was because it violated the fundamental interests of the clubs and greatly reduced the clubs' income.
However, the official level was overwhelming, and although the club was still dissatisfied, it had no choice but to accept it.
Now a higher-level department than the Football Association has come forward to directly veto this matter.
All of a sudden, the Chinese Supermarket became active.
Soon, Feiyue, a major domestic sports brand, announced that after Longjiang Athletics, it would sponsor two small clubs such as Henan Jianye and Yanbian Fude.
The large amount of sponsorship funds has really relaxed the finances of the two small clubs, allowing them to prepare for the next season more effectively.
In addition to Feiyue, domestic brands such as Li Ning and Anta and international brands such as Mizuno, Enbao and Kappa have also entered the market, injecting large amounts of funds into the Chinese Super League.
Li Jianguo has long been dissatisfied with the chaos in Chinese football. Now he has seized the opportunity. Of course, he raised the sword high and dropped it heavily.
First of all, the Football Association has undergone a major blood change and reorganized its leadership team. All the original old people have been cleared away.
After that, he terminated his contract with the national team coach Perrin.
The foreign coach didn't see anything extraordinary at all, and of course he was responsible for the national team's defeat.
This matter cannot be postponed, because the 2018 World Cup qualifiers are about to begin, and delaying results will not be worth the gain.
Regarding the candidate for the new head coach, all parties have conducted a game, but the result has never been conclusive.
Some people think that foreign coaches are just that. They have hired many coaches over the years, but they have not helped Chinese football progress. It is better to save money and use local coaches.
Some people think that it’s not that the foreign coach is not good, but that the foreign coach you hired is not high-level enough. If you invite Lippi, the Chinese team will definitely be different.
Previously, Lippi served as the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande and won the first AFC Champions League trophy for the Chinese team.
But when it comes to the AFC Champions League, some people say that Xu Zhongqi, the head coach of Longjiang Athletic, also has very good results. Although he was unknown before and was only in his twenties, his results are there.
Under all the disturbances, Li Jianguo had no clue.
It doesn't matter much, someone can pretend to be a dog-headed strategist.
"Grandpa, eat."
Five-year-old Xiao Jueshui is so splendid that he has completely inherited the excellent genes of his parents, and his whole body is as bright as crystal.
Li Jianguo didn't want to see her. If he saw her, he would definitely hold her in his arms and care about her.
Grandpa and grandma were like this, and so were grandpa and grandma. As for great-grandfather Li Zhen, it was even more incredible.
But what is surprising is that under the doting of so many elders, Xiao Jue has not grown crooked. Not only is he smart and clever, he is also very sensible and knows how to be filial.
A small box of hawthorn slices was also given to grandpa, which made Li Jianguo very happy.
After playing with my grandson for a long time, I remembered to talk to Xiao Qian about business.
"Now you have seen the controversy about the national football coach. Tell me what you think."
Xiao Qian hugged her son and ate Xiao Jue's hawthorn slices, which made her feel balanced.
"This matter has nothing to do with me. I'm not from the Football Association. It's not my turn to intervene."
Li Jianguo was angry.
"Why didn't you say it had nothing to do with you when you were playing football in Heilongjiang? You have to say it now. If you don't look good, how can I deal with you?"
You are dad, you are awesome.
Xiao Qian was helpless, but not without ideas.
"As for who to choose as the coach of the national football team, it actually depends on what the future goals of you and the Football Association are. If it is just to straighten out the operation of the Football Association, then it doesn't matter who you choose. If it is for performance, then you cannot choose Lippi."
The absolutely alternative rhetoric confused Li Jianguo.
"Papi is a world-famous coach and has won the World Cup. Shouldn't he be chosen for his performance?"
Xiao Qian sneered.
"The Italians are actually very similar to us Chinese in terms of behavior and personality. They are very slippery. If Lippi is to be the national football coach, then he will definitely be inseparable from his previous relationship in China. By then, there will be many players in the national team.
How could his old department achieve good results?"
Li Jianguo didn't want to understand, but he didn't hesitate and continued to ask: "What do you think, can our national football team achieve good results? Tell me, how can we achieve good results?"
After all, it was his father, and Xiao Qian was worried about his political achievements.
"If you are bent on pursuing good results, it would be easy. Just let Xu Zhongqi be the head coach, or just bring in any coach from Heilongjiang. The only problem is that Xu Zhongqi and the others are in a humble position. I'm afraid they won't be able to do it.
There must be good communication between the upper and lower levels. The person who is truly suitable for the position of head coach is actually me."
Li Jianguo squirted out a mouthful of tea, and his face turned purple with anger.
"I'm asking you to come up with ideas, not to fool around. Do you have a coaching qualification? What skills do you have to be a head coach?"
Xiao Qian was not timid, and said with a smile: "If you ask me to arrange troops and command on the spot, I will definitely not be able to do it. But the question is, if you ask me to form the national team, do you need any command?"
Li Jianguo was very annoyed and reprimanded: "The national team does not need to direct, so why does it need a head coach?"
Xiao Qian is very patient.
"If the national team is set up by someone else, of course it needs a head coach. But if it is set up by me, it definitely doesn't need to be. Because as long as the players from Longjiang Athletic are brought into the national team and they play the way they used to, that's it.
.”
Li Jianguo was startled.
"Oh, we are only looking for players from Longjiang Athletic. Is this the national team or a club? What do you think of the national team?"
Xiao Qian was not convinced.
"Aren't Longjiang Athletic's players Chinese players? Why can't the team they form be a national team?"
Li Jianguo just thought he was fooling around.
"Only recruiting players from Longjiang Athletic, what do you want others to think? Has the national team become a private industry?"
Xiao Qian's sneer was particularly sarcastic.
"Shouldn't the selection of national team players be based on their strength?"
Li Jianguo said sternly: "Even in terms of strength, there is no..."
Um?
He couldn't speak anymore.
Because if you think about it carefully, if the national team players really have to be recruited based on their strength, Longjiang Athletics might really have everything covered.
After being embarrassed for a long time, I finally found an excuse.
"Even so, if the national team is all from the same club, it will cause criticism."
Xiao Qian was indifferent and said: "Then it depends on whether you care about results. If you want results, then only recruit players from Longjiang Athletic. After you achieve good results in the future, there will be no criticism."
Li Jianguo was still hard to convince.
"Even if you only recruit players from Longjiang Athletic, how can you guarantee that you will achieve good results?"
Xiao Qian was dumbfounded.
"This team can play 8:0 against Real Madrid. Isn't it a sure thing that it will produce good results?"
Li Jianguo has his own words.
"That's a club, this is the national team, can it be the same?"
Xiao Qian understood a little bit and asked tentatively: "Dad, don't you think that the national team is stronger than the club?"
Li Jianguo asked: "Isn't the national team stronger than the club?"
It turns out he is an outsider.
In the field of football, there has always been a debate about who is stronger or weaker, the national team or the club. But in fact, anyone who knows something about football knows that the national team is not as strong as the club anyway.
Especially the strength level of European giants clubs is really much higher than that of the national team.
This is why the Champions League represents the highest level of competition in football.
The reason is that the national team has nationality restrictions and the range of players that can be selected is very limited. Even the football powers France, Germany, and Spain cannot guarantee that the players in each position are the best when selecting players.
But clubs are different. They have no nationality restrictions and can buy people and the best players from all over the world with their checks.
Moreover, professional players spend most of their time in the club, playing with their teammates in the club.
The level of players is higher, the cooperation time is longer, and the understanding is better. The strength of the club is certainly stronger than that of the national team.
Xiao Qian explained the contents to Li Jianguo in detail, making the boss feel like he had entered a whole new world.
"Then according to your opinion, if all the players from Longjiang Athletic are recruited into the national team, can they really achieve good results? Can they enter the World Cup?"
Xiao Qian was speechless.
"Dad, for a team that beat Real Madrid 8-0, I think you can think about the Hercules Cup."
Li Jianguo's breathing stopped.
Rao, at his level, also understands the concept and impact of the Chinese team winning the World Cup.
When he thought about that scene, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat.
On the other side, Xiao Qian was still chattering.
"If all the players from Longjiang Athletic are selected to join the national team, then only I can control this team. Then the problem of this national team will not be inside the team, but outside. Except for me, no one will
People can do a good job of communicating internally and externally. If we fail to achieve good results due to external obstruction and mischief, that would be the biggest regret."
Under the reflection of the setting sun, Li Jianguo sat silently, looking to the farthest distance, but it was obvious that there was a fire dancing inside.
