After the Chinese Football Association announced through official channels on the afternoon of December 3 that Li Xiaopeng will be the new Chinese men’s football coach, Li Xiaopeng himself left Wuhan on the 4th for Beijing to communicate with relevant parties on the details of team formation and team leadership. The coach of the Wuhan team he left was handed over to his assistant for many years, who is also the former international player Li Jinyu. For Li Xiaopeng, the top priority is to build a complete and appropriate coaching team. Judging from the current situation reflected in various channels, the “combination of Chinese and Western” national football coaches will be a high probability event.
The reporter from Beiqing-Beijing Toutiao learned that considering the special nature of the national football team, Li Xiaopeng will not “transplant” the original assistant team of the Wuhan team to the national football coaching team after confirming that he has taken over the team’s coaching seal. According to news, in the original Wuhan team coaching team, only Hu Yu coached the national team with Li Xiaopeng. However, as of the afternoon of the 4th, Hu Yu was still participating in the team leadership of the Wuhan team as a physical coach.
After Li Xiaopeng left, Wuhan Football Club has confirmed that the 44-year-old former international Li Jinyu will take over the team. The majority of domestic fans are familiar with Li Jinyu. As a veritable “marksman” among the local Chinese players, Li Jinyu had already obtained the professional level coach certification as early as 2016. Coincidentally, Li Tie, who had just left the coach of the national football team, played for the Jianlibao team, the Liaoning football team, and the national team. The teammates of the period are also classmates of the professional coach training class.
For Li Xiaopeng, after the work of the Wuhan team is properly handed over, the teamwork of the new national team cannot be delayed. This is why he rushed to Beijing on the 4th.
Judging from the results of Li Xiaopeng as the recommended person for the sports management department to be the new coach of the national football team, after the sports management department has been involved in the management and operation of the Chinese women’s football team, it has actually been involved in the relevant work of the Chinese men’s football team. This means that in addition to the coaching team, members of the team management team may also face significant adjustments, and it does not even rule out the possibility that the sports management department will directly “airborne” a representative of the Chinese Football Association who is not in the system as the national football team leader.
As for who will assist Li Xiaopeng. There is currently no exact information on each channel. There are rumors that Chu Liang, a former international team who served as one of the goalkeeper coaches during Li Tie’s coaching period, will be retained. It is worth noting that Ou Chuliang is the only coach in the original national football coaching team who has never coached the Wuhan team with Li Tie.
On December 3, the official announcement of the “Li Xiaopeng Incumbency” issued by the Chinese Football Association did not specify his term of office and the selection of the coaching team. Judging from the current difficult situation encountered by the national football team in the top 12 competition and the resolute attitude of the relevant parties in choosing Li Xiaopeng, it is unlikely that his role is “transitional” in nature. However, how to define the specific cooperation period still requires further consultation by all parties. Even if it is a nominal employer, the Chinese Football Association is the subject of the contract with Li Xiaopeng and his team. Therefore, as to other issues regarding the future of the national team, Chen Xuyuan, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, will come to Beijing to communicate with relevant parties after he lifted his isolation on the 9th of this month.
Who will assist Li Xiaopeng? I am afraid that Li Xiaopeng’s decision-making power is not controlled by Li Xiaopeng or incompletely controlled. It is reported that Pep, the Spanish assistant who Li Xiaopeng coached the Shandong Taishan (Luneng) team, is expected to join him to work in the national football team. However, due to factors such as the epidemic, it is not yet known whether this will come true.Return to Sohu to see more
