Where is Lippi's lottery ticket?

The road of football in China is full of twists and turns and hardships. After the founding of New China, after several generations' efforts, although the popularity of football has been improved, its competitive level has been slowly improved, and it has plummeted on the road of World Cup qualifiers again and again.

With the reform and opening up, China men's soccer team invited a foreign coach for the first time on 1992, and schlappner, the top ten coach of the year in Germany, became the first "foreign monk". At this time, the professionalization of football in China has not yet started. At the beginning of his tenure, schlappner led the national football team to win the third place in the Asian Cup. At that time, "Uncle Shi" was sent to the altar, regarded as the savior of China football by many people, and even invited him to attend the Spring Festival Evening of 1993. But "Uncle Shi" is not a god after all, and failed to lead the national football team 1994 World Cup in America.

1998, an Englishman named bobby houghton entered the men's soccer team in China. His best result was the third place in the Asian Games, and the top four in East Asia defeated the Japanese team. His greatest contribution is to discover Zheng Zhi, the core of China football, from the second division. Unfortunately, this FIFA lecturer and scholar coach failed to bring China into the World Cup.

In 2000, milutinovic, a Mexican foreign teacher born in the former Yugoslavia, became the head coach of the China team. His "Happy Football" and the "Luck" of the group lottery made "Magic Milu". He led the China national team to realize the dream of the World Cup for 44 years and entered the World Cup for the first time. But since then, football in China has gone from bad to worse.

Later, Dutchman Alihan, Serbian Vlado Petrovic, Spanish Camacho, Frenchman Perrin and Italian coach Lippi successively became national football coaches. Impressed. First, Camacho, the worst performer, lost to Brazil at 0: 8 and Thailand at 1: 5. The other is Lippi, who won the men's soccer championship in China twice. Although he failed to lead the team to the World Cup, he ended China's invincible history in the world series.

After Lippi, it seems that the national football team no longer loves foreign coaches, but introduces a large number of standardized players, but the results have not changed fundamentally. It seems that the 2022 12 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Asian Regional Qualifiers will draw water with a sieve again.

Intriguingly, among the foreign coaches invited by China Men's Football Team in the past 30 years, Germany, England, Italy, Spain, France and even Serbia are all listed, but Brazil, the representative of South American technical football, is absent. Then the question is, since the national football team has naturalized so many Brazilian players, why not try the Brazilian coach?

If China Football restarts the Westernization Movement and the Football Association continues to naturalize a large number of Brazilian players, then the Brazilian coach may be the key for the national team to correctly open up the use of naturalized players and thus enhance the competitiveness of the national football team. At the same time, Brazilian coaches should take over youth training at all levels and really start with dolls.
