Lippi finally became the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande because of the high salary given by Evergrande, which still continues the magic of the old coach. Leading Evergrande for only 1 half a year helped Guangzhou Evergrande win the AFC Champions League. Finally, with the help of Evergrande boss Xu Jiayin, Lippi finally became the head coach of China Men's Football Team. However, in China men's soccer team, Lippi seems to have lost the magic of the past and coached China twice, which is legendary.
How much contribution has Lippi made to the men's soccer team in China? Let's take a brief look: Lippi's performance in coaching the China national team: the official competition record is good, but there is no breakthrough.
2016165438+1October 15 was Lippi's first match leading the men's soccer team in China, which was also the Russian World Cup 12. China vs Qatar, the final result of that game was that Qatar drew 0-0. This is the same as Lippi's coaching experience in China. Before the game started, everyone was full of expectations, but the final result was unremarkable. Lippi finally left school because the national football team played against Syria again in the top 40 of the 2022 World Cup on 201914, which was the last game for Lippi to lead the China team.
Lippi * * * coached China in 37 games, of which 16 won, 10 drew and 1 negative, with a winning rate of 43%. Yi scored 55 goals and conceded as many as 43 goals. Of these 30 matches, 15 is an official match (Asian Cup and World Cup preliminaries), with 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, with a winning percentage of over 50%. The other 22 games are basically warm-up matches (including East Asia Cup and China Cup). Lippi's team performed poorly, especially against European and American teams, which was different from the previous national football team. The king of warm-up matches? The title is completely opposite. Of course, Lippi's opponent in the national team's warm-up match is still relatively strong.
In fact, in the early days when Lippi coached the national football team, the results of the national football team were good, especially in the Asia/KOOC-0/2 World Cup, Lippi led the team with 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses, among which the fiasco of South Korea and Uzbekistan still excited China fans. But unfortunately, in the end, the national football team finished fifth and still missed the play-offs.
Subsequently, Lippi led the national football team to the East Asian Cup for the first time, and the national football team was 2 draws 1 negative, and finally ranked third.
20 18? China Cup? The national football team was completely defeated in two wars, but in this exclusive cup for China, Lippi's reputation began to turn, and more criticisms followed, and this cup also became a turning point for Lippi's coaching.
20 19 UAE Asian Cup, the national football team won the runner-up, but after losing to Iran, it finally stopped at the quarter-finals. Lippi announced his resignation after the game.
Surprisingly, on April 28th, 2009, Lippi returned to the position of the national football team. However, with the progress of the Top 40 World Cup preliminaries in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, in the fifth round, the national football team was 5 points behind Syria, ranking second in the group, and the qualifying situation was extremely passive. Lippi resigned again, ending his second coaching career.
To sum up: Lippi's performance in coaching the national football team has improved to a certain extent, but the performance is still not very good. What is certain is that Lippi has improved the national football team tactically, but the strength of the national football team is helpless. Facts show that the national football team can't meet Lippi's requirements. In the end, Lippi went in and out in the position of national football coach, and the national football team still lingered at the third-rate level in Asia.
Lippi deeply felt that the lack of football talents in China affected the implementation of U23 policy and naturalization policy of the Football Association.
After coaching Evergrande and China national team for so long, Lippi has a basic understanding of China football. Among them, the biggest headache for coaches is that the older generation of football players in China are getting older, while the young people are not growing up. Moreover, Lippi stressed that when he first came to China, no team had its own youth training team.
Lippi once gave advice to China football: China must establish its own coaching team and system, and also establish a mechanism to find overseas players. In a word, China must establish this system by itself, so that football in China can be improved, and there is no other way. My own wishes include improving the surrounding environment in this new period. We put forward many ideas, which were accepted, and the changes were really obvious. ?
Under the influence of Lippi, China Football Association began to implement U23 policy. It is also because of the implementation of U23 policy that many young players have emerged in the Super League. The naturalization policy is more direct. Daniel F. Akerson, Alan and Li Ke can already represent the national football team in the World Cup qualifiers. Lippi stressed that these two things should have been done ten or fifteen years ago, but there is no corresponding football culture and no reserves here.
First, the changes brought about by U23 policy.
At the beginning of the 20 17 season, China Football Association stipulated that there must be at least two U23 players in the 18 list of each Super League club, and one of them must start. And in the 20 18 season, the U23 policy continued to upgrade, and the number of U23 and foreign aid players was tied, but 1 U23 players still had to start, which means that one U23 player had to start under the foreign aid system, so the other two substitute places must be reserved for U23 players.
Although there was some controversy in the early stage of U23 policy, and some clubs did perfunctory things for the sake of performance, it became normal for the Chinese Super League to put U23 on the court at the last minute. However, it is undeniable that the U23 policy has indeed trained many young players in the Super League, so that these players can play in top stadiums, accumulate certain competition experience, and at the same time compete with high-level foreign aid to gain certain learning and improvement opportunities.
With the deepening of U23 policy, U23 players have become hot items for Chinese Super League teams. Some promising young players can now reach10 million yuan in the previous year. Many clubs have to start to increase their investment in youth training under this policy. For example, Shanghai Shenhua has trained U 19 team players, such as Zhu, who has become the main force of the Super League team at the age of 19. In addition, young talents such as Huang Zichang, Gao Zhunyi, Chen Penbin and Deng Hanwen also stand out under the U23 policy background and become the reserve force of the future national football team.
Second, naturalized players improve the strength of the national football team.
Lippi suggested it? Must establish a mechanism to find overseas players? It eventually evolved into a national football naturalization policy. Under the implementation of this policy, Daniel F. Akerson, Li Ke and Alan have all been selected for the national football team, and Daniel F. Akerson and Li Ke have also participated in the World Cup qualifiers.
This is not the end. Players who are currently being naturalized include Ronaldo and Fernando, who are said to have obtained Chinese identity cards. Garratt's procedures have been basically completed, but there may be some problems, and it is still unknown whether he can represent the national football team in the end. In addition, Jiang, Qian Jiegui and other players are also in further planning.
In fact, the naturalization policy is not a long-term solution for China national football team, but the problem it solves is really what China football needs most at present. For a long time, China football has been in such a vicious logical cycle: the youth training in China is not systematic, which leads to the lack of reserve talents; It is precisely because there are too few players to pick out powerful players that the performance of the national team is always poor; However, the poor performance of the national football team caused parents of children not to want their children to engage in football, which led to a continuous decrease in the population base of football in China, and then began to circulate.
However, with the arrival of naturalized players in the national team, such as Daniel F. Akerson, the striker strength of the national team has been significantly improved, and the national football team can score goals, so that the performance of the national football team will be improved to a certain level in the shortest time, and the improvement of the national football team's performance will also improve the impression of the national football team in the hearts of fans, which is likely to attract more children to start to like football and engage in football. This will form a virtuous circle, and there will be more children playing football in China. There are many good seeds of the national football team, and the strength of the national football team will also increase. In this way, with the growth of the players trained by themselves, the performance of the national football team will gradually improve.
Of course, most of the above content depends on assumptions. It remains to be seen whether the final planning policy can achieve such an effect, but it will undoubtedly give China a relatively simple road, which is not necessarily a bad thing for China football.
At the end, Lippi made a lot of money in China, hundreds of millions, but in all fairness, Lippi made great contributions to football in China, and he made efforts to improve the football environment in China.
Lippi did not improve the performance of the national football team qualitatively, but he led the national football team to defeat the South Korean team and broke China's fear of South Korea for many years. The games he leads are still expected, and he often reverses victories when he is behind.
The U23 policy and the naturalization policy suggested by Lippi are actually an attempt to improve the overall football environment in China. Although it doesn't show great achievements, it is slowly influencing football in China.
