I am the Coach of the National Youth Team

Chapter 296 Official Announcement

The time came to December unknowingly, and both the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League were over.

Finally, this month, the news that made countless fans worry about it still appeared.

On December 10th, the Chinese Football Association officially announced:

Chinese national coach Li Long is appointed as the head coach of the Chinese national men's football team!

Next, Li Long's coaching experience is also introduced.

He was the first head coach of the Huaxia National Youth Team. During his tenure, he won three Asian Youth Championships and two World Youth Championships.

After that, he led the Chinese Olympic team and won the bronze medal in the men's football team in the 2016 Olympic Games.

To be honest, Li Long's resume is not good, because apart from the East Asian Cup, he has no first-team coaching experience.

This is also the worry of some fans, who worry that Li Long can't lead the team well.

Of course, there are also many fans who are looking forward to Li Long's coaching.

Because Li Long's performance in the East Asian Cup is still good, and Li Long is more familiar with local players.

After Li Long took over the Huaxia team, the first test was the Asian Cup in early 2019.

This time in the Asian Cup, the Chinese Football Association issued an order.

At least to get the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, of course Li Long accepts.

Li Long has high demands on himself. He hopes to start his national team coaching career with a championship.

Li Long had been waiting for this day for too long, when it really came.

Instead, he was not so excited, and everything seemed very calm.

The next step is the adjustment of personnel. Li Long brought up all his coaching staff in the National Youth Team.

These include assistant coach Ge Shengxiang, goalkeeper coach Ma Shuai, physical coach Feng Min, offensive coach Dong Yunpeng, and defensive coach Wu Xiaowei.

Now their abilities are not as weak as before.

They have grown into excellent coaches now, and they cooperate very well with Li Long.

As for the position of head coach of the National Youth Team, Li Long recommended Jiang Jinxin to the China Football Association.

This is also the purpose of purchasing so many staff cards before Li Long.

It is impossible for Li Long to serve as the first team of Huaxia, and also serve as the National Youth Team and the National Olympic Team.

The strength of the first team is completely different, so the head coach of the national youth team and the head coach of the Olympic team must be handed over to others.

Of course, there are also examples of serving as the coach of the Olympic team while serving as the national team.

Soon the news that Jiang Jinxin was appointed as the coach of the National Youth Team was officially announced.

It's just that everyone's eyes are on Li Long.

Everything is ready, and then Li Long will concentrate on preparing for the Asian Cup.

Li Long attaches great importance to this Asian Cup, and Li Long's goal is undoubtedly the championship.

So this time Li Long plans to recruit some main players.

Of course, some players who still have to fight for the status of the team are not among Li Long's goals.

In the end, Li Long confirmed the 23-man squad for the 2019 Asian Cup:

Goalkeepers: 1 Yan Junling (Shanghai SIPG), 13 Xia Bin (Chongqing Lifan), 21 Ding Zheng (Shanghai Shenhua);

Defenders: 5 Qiu Hailong (Stuttgart), 12 Li Xuepeng (Guangzhou Evergrande), 3 Lin Tianjun (Hoffenheim), 4 Zhao Wenchao (Dijon), 23 Wang Yuan (Jiangsu Suning), 16 Deng Guoxing (Portimao) , 2 Zhang Ran (Portimao people), 17 Zhang Lin Peng (Guangzhou Evergrande);

Midfielders: 14 Yu Hanchao (Guangzhou Evergrande), 18 Cao Yunding (Shanghai Shenhua), 8 Liu Yuchang (Werder Bremen), 10 Zheng Zhi (Guangzhou Evergrande), 22 Hao Junmin (Shandong Luneng), 6 Wu Xi (Jiangsu Suning), 20 Cui Dongzhen (Guangzhou Evergrande), 15 Zheng Long (Guangzhou Evergrande);

Forwards: 9 Tian Runtao (Leipzig Red Bull), 11 Li Mingchao (Shandong Luneng), 19 Mu Wentao (Shanghai SIPG), 7 Wu Lei (Spanish).

In Li Long's list, the position of left winger may be the biggest problem.

In fact, there is Bai Yi as the left winger, but because of injuries, Li Long had no choice but to give up.

Then there is the position of midfielder. Now Wei Jiafeng needs to work hard for the team to gain a foothold.

So Li Long didn't warn Wei Jiafeng, but fortunately there were veterans Zheng Zhi and Hao Junmin.

It can fill the midfield position very well.

On the whole, this big list still satisfies Li Long, especially the defense line that Li Long pays most attention to, which is absolutely top-notch in Asia.
