When he first took over the national football team, he only scored one point in four games. Lippi turned this defeated division into a brave warrior with a brand-new look, and scored 1 1 in the next six rounds, which can be said to be only one step away from the group qualifying. However, as Lippi himself said, it is not a task to coach himself and reach the World Cup. He just relies on his own ability to let the national football team play its greatest potential. Now that the World Cup qualifiers are over, everything is finally on the right track.
What is the right track? That's the Asian Cup. In the long run, the 20 18 World Cup has nothing to do with the national football team, but the 19 Asian Cup can still be contested. Therefore, after Lippi decided to coach the national football team, the Asian Cup became his task. How to get a good ranking in 19 Asian Cup is the most urgent thing at present.
But it also doomed Lippi not to worry too much about things outside the national team, such as who will take over after Zheng Zhi and others may retire. Now the problem facing the national football team is obvious, that is, the green and yellow are not connected, and the echelon construction is not satisfactory. It may be several years before we find that this national football team is the best in more than ten years. To say the least, there is no better national football player than Zheng Zhi in ten years. But after the Asian Cup, which players can take the team forward? It may take another four years to get so close to the World Cup as it is today.
