Qilu Network Lightning News December 15 news Shandong TV sports channel news, the national football team top 12 round of the schedule is more than halfway through, the former head coach Li Tie left the class. At this time, who will take over the "hot potato" of the national football team has become the focus of everyone's attention. In various speculations and discussions, Li Xiaopeng was appointed by the Football Association as the new national football coach.
Some people say that this is the self-correction of the Chinese Football Association, and some people say that the current national football team is useless to change no one. But when the Chinese men's football team comes to such a situation, someone always needs to stand up. Li Xiaopeng dared to take over the national football team at this stage, which in itself required enough courage and responsibility. And this is also the Li Xiaopeng we have always been familiar with, a leader who loves football, is sincere and open-minded. In this issue of "Passionate Years", let us review Li Xiaopeng's playing career and coaching experience, and feel his dedication and dream of football in his humor and wisdom.
Li Xiaopeng in the player era is an iconic figure of the Taishan team and the national team, and his football road originated from the guidance of his father. Li Xiaopeng's father was originally the main player of the Beijing team, not only excellent in ball skills, but also very handsome in appearance. Under the infection of his father, Li Xiaopeng also embarked on the road of football. However, in Li Xiaopeng's own words, he did not inherit his father's handsome appearance, and even his physical condition was very general, which did not meet the standards for coaching materials.
Li Xiaopeng, who has general physical conditions, has delicate technique and exquisite footwork, and has been selected by the coach for this reason. In the early days of Taishan's relatively crude A A, Li Xiaopeng was a rare technical genre in the team, scoring many wonderful goals that highlighted technical characteristics, helping Taishan win a league championship, three FA Cup titles, and a Chinese Super League championship.
In 2001, then-Chinese men's football coach Milu recruited Li Xiaopeng to the national team. Before the round of ten, the main right wing forward Li Ming trained to strain, and Li Xiaopeng, who was originally a substitute, entered the starting lineup and scored the first goal of the Chinese team in the top ten in the first game against the United Arab Emirates. It was the simplest goal of his playing career and the most meaningful. After this, Li Xiaopeng became one of Milu's favorite players and the absolute main force of that national team.
In the 2005 FA Cup final, Shandong Luneng Taishan played against Dalian Shide. Prior to this, the Taishan team suffered defeats on all fronts of the AFC Champions League, the Chinese Super League and the Chinese Super League. Multi-front combat caused severe fatigue and injuries to the Taishan team, and in the end, the Taishan team lost to Dalian Shide, and in the 2005 season, the four were empty. What makes Shandong fans feel more heartache is that after this game, Li Xiaopeng announced his retirement. Almost without warning, a generation of legends hung up their boots.
In 2009, Li Xiaopeng, who had been retired for four years, finally took up the teaching whip and led the Shandong women's football team to compete in the 11th National Games. This year, Li Xiaopeng, who coached for the first time, led the Shandong women's football team to reach the top four at the National Games and made a historic breakthrough. However, with the end of the National Games, Li Xiaopeng also resigned as the manager of shandong women's football.
Perhaps Li Xiaopeng is not satisfied with his first coaching experience, but his performance has been recognized by the Chinese Football Association. In 2010, the Chinese Football Association appointed Li Xiaopeng as the acting head coach of the Chinese women's football team. At this time, the Chinese women's football team was no longer a sonorous rose, and the two foreign coaches Domansky and Elizabeth suffered failures. On September 8, 2011, the Chinese women's football team lost 0-1 to Australia in the Olympic qualifiers, missing the London Olympic Games in the early round, which was also the first time that the Chinese women's football team missed the Olympic Games. After the game, Li Xiaopeng voluntarily announced his resignation, and his women's football coaching career came to an end.
If you look at the results alone, Li Xiaopeng coaching the Chinese women's football team is obviously not up to standard, but when the Chinese women's football team fell into a trough, Li Xiaopeng still took over the burden of the FA. As early as the beginning of his tenure, Li Xiaopeng once said that being a coach will leave class sooner or later, just as human life will definitely have an end, and it is important to live every day seriously.
In 2013, Li Xiaopeng returned to his hometown to take charge of Qingdao Zhongneng, coaching a professional team for the first time. He was full of ambition in the early days of his tenure. However, Qingdao Zhongneng's road to the Middle Division is not as easy as Li Xiaopeng imagined. After Qingdao Zhongneng lost the opportunity to rush to the top, Li Xiaopeng also handed over the coaching whip in the middle of the season, and his first coaching experience in professional teams was not successful.
In the following three years, Li Xiaopeng temporarily left the coaching position and held club management positions in Yongchang, Shijiazhuang and Shandong Luneng. Until the 2018 season, Li Xiaopeng succeeded Magat as coach of Shandong Luneng and once again embarked on the coaching position. Because the previous coaching experience did not have good enough results, the outside world has different voices about Li Xiaopeng coaching Luneng. But correspondingly, it is the industry's support and encouragement for Li Xiaopeng. Taishan's main goalkeeper Wang Dalei said bluntly that he can't always feel that the domestic coach can't move this team, he believes in Li Dao.
In contrast to evergrande, SIPG and Guoan, Luneng Taishan, led by Li Xiaopeng, focused on the adjustment and development of the original squad, and won the third and fifth places in the league in the 2018 and 2019 seasons respectively. In the past two years, Luneng has strict discipline, unity and clear tactics, and in the case of many foreign coaches competing in the Chinese Super League, Li Xiaopeng, as a local coach, finally stood out and was awarded the best head coach of the Chinese Super League for two consecutive years.
However, under the aura of the two best managers, it was Luneng Taishan who suffered two consecutive FA Cup final defeats. These two defeats are also the pain points of Li Xiaopeng's coaching luneng period, and have become the controversy of the outside world about his coaching level.
On October 5, 2020, Luneng Taishan Club officially announced that Li Xiaopeng would no longer serve as head coach due to physical reasons. For a time, public opinion was in an uproar. Li Xiaopeng seems to be responding to the outside world in his own way, and the nearly three-year Career of Taishan as a coach has come to an end.
At the end of this year, Li Xiaopeng took over the coaching whip of the Wuhan team and began another coaching journey. However, subject to the overall strength of the Wuhan team, Li Xiaopeng's Wuhan team has only won one league victory so far, and the pressure can be imagined. In this year's FA Cup Jinan Division, we met the familiar Li Xiaopeng again. A lot of people miss him, and he misses here.
If the original plan is followed, Li Xiaopeng should now lead the Wuhan team to the Relegation Group of the Chinese Super League. However, just halfway through the round of 12 of the national football team, the former head coach Li Tie stepped down and Li Xiaopeng was appointed as the new national football coach. Judging from Li Xiaopeng's coaching experience, perhaps he is not the best, but at this moment, he is the most responsible.
One of the characteristics of Li Xiaopeng's coaching path is that he can always gain trust. At every critical moment, the Football Association trusts him, the club trusts him, and the players trust him. It's not so much about trusting his coaching ability as it is about trusting him as a person. Over the years, the wind has passed, the rain has gone, and only those who have truly loved will understand.
Tonight at 21:00, "Passion Years" will review Li Xiaopeng's playing career and coaching road with you. Harvest firm strength in those familiar warmth, bless Xiao peng, and we will cheer together.
