At the end of October, the budget match of the Asian U19 Football Championship will be held, and the Huaxia National Youth Team will be assigned to Group G.

Also in the same group are the Cambodia National Youth Team, the Myanmar National Youth Team and the Philippines National Youth Team.

In the first match against the Cambodian National Youth Team, the Huaxia National Youth Team took the opponent 5-0 without any effort.

In the second match, the Philippine National Youth Team was obviously weaker than the previous one, and finally beat the opponent 11-0.

In the end, it was the Myanmar National Youth Team, which won again 4-0.

In the end, the Huaxia National Youth Team won all three games and successfully advanced. After this event, Li Long's events this year are all over.

Since successfully qualifying for the World Cup, Lippi has become a god in China.

Whether it is the media or the forum, Lippi is full of praise.

It seems that Lippi is the savior of Chinese football.

However, a shocking news suddenly broke out. Lippi will not lead the Huaxia team to participate in the East Asian Cup in December. The East Asian Cup will have local coaches to teach.

After the news came out, there was an uproar.

This made Lippi questioned, and many reporters were very dissatisfied with Lippi's decision.

The reporter's point of view is that as the head coach of the national team, whether it is a match or a friendly match, it should be the job of the head coach.

Moreover, the East Asian Cup is considered a traditional event. With such a high salary, Lippi didn't even do basic work.

Even if the Lidai team advances to the World Cup, it still shouldn't be shirked, even if it leads the Olympic team.

It is definitely not normal to even worry that the China Football Association will not be able to control the head coach of its own national team.

And there have always been people who are dissatisfied with Lippi, because Lippi basically lives abroad when he is not competing.

I seldom watch the Chinese Super League live. Even on the sidelines of the five major leagues, Lippi is never seen.

But the Ribbon team has advanced to the World Cup, which makes Huaxia fans very tolerant of him.

A few days later, the news reached Japan and South Korea.

First, the head coach of the South Korean team, Shin Tae-ryong, was interviewed by reporters.

The speech was ridiculed, saying that this situation will never happen in South Korea.

At the same time, the Japanese media were also quite angry, because this East Asian Cup was held in Japan, and they thought Lippi did not respect them.

Soon the Chinese Football Association officially announced that Li Long, the head coach of the Huaxia National Youth Team and the National Olympic Team, will coach the Huaxia team for the East Asian Cup.

Immediately afterwards, some people began to speculate on the intention of the Football Association. After all, Lippi was already old.

Lippi cannot coach the national team for a long time, so the China Football Association plans to train local coaches.

And the young Li Long is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Whether it is the National Youth Team or the National Olympic Team, Li Long has always exceeded his quota.

Li Long has been recognized both in terms of player understanding and coaching ability.

What Li Long currently lacks is qualifications, and this East Asian Cup is a good opportunity for Li Long.

And Li Long was very excited when he first received the order, because he was one step closer to his goal.

Moreover, the Chinese Football Association also appointed Li Long to join Lippi's coaching staff as a local coach to participate in the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The time has come to December 1st, and fans all over the world are paying attention to this day.

Because this day will be the draw ceremony for the 2018 World Cup in Russia!

The Huaxia team was finally ranked in the fourth tier. This World Cup is very different.

Because this World Cup is the first time that the geographical classification scheme has been abandoned.

In this way, the ranks are divided into tiers, so that the strength of the teams in each tier is relatively balanced.

This time the lottery ceremony, Putin even came to the scene.

Soon the lottery ceremony began, and countless Huaxia fans were looking forward to a good lottery.

Participating in the World Cup again after 16 years, the fans certainly hope that the Huaxia team can go further.

There is good news and bad news. The bad news is that there is the world's top team France in the same group.

The good news is that the other two teams are not strong.

The other two opponents are Peru and Denmark.

In fact, this sign is not bad, at least there is hope of promotion.

The total score is better than that of the Iranian team, one Portugal and one Spain.

If the Huaxia team enters this group, it is basically hopeless to advance.

Next, Li Long will prepare for his debut in the China National Team.

A few days later, the China Football Association announced the 23-man squad for the East Asian Cup:

Goalkeepers: Ding Zheng (Shanghai Shenhua), Xia Bin (Chongqing Lifan), Shi Xiaotian (Liaoning Kaixin);

Defenders: Li Xuepeng (Guangzhou Evergrande), Fan Xiaodong (Changchun Yatai), Wang Yuan (Jiangsu Suning), He Guan (Shanghai SIPG), Liu Yiming (Tianjin Quanjian), Gao Junyi (Hebei China Fortune), Zhang Ran ( Jingcheng Guoan), Deng Hanwen (Jingcheng Renhe);

Midfielders: Zheng Long (Guangzhou Evergrande), Wei Shihao (Shanghai SIPG), Lu Lei (Shanghai Shenhua), Wu Xi (Jiangsu Suning), He Chao (Changchun Yatai), Zhao Xuri (Tianjin Quanjian), Cui Dongzhen (Yanbian Fude), Yin Hongbo (Hebei China Fortune Land Development);

Forwards: Li Mingchao (Shandong Luneng), Mu Wentao (Shanghai SIPG), Xiao Zhi (Guangzhou R\u0026F), Yu Dabao (Beijing Guoan).

This time, many of the national team's rosters are fringe members of the national team.

First of all, the East Asian Cup is really not that important, so there is no need to recruit all the main players.

So Li Long will not recruit overseas players, not just the Huaxia team.

The same is definitely true for the Japanese and South Korean teams. The East Asian Cup is an opportunity for training.

It will give young players more opportunities, and everyone is at best the national team B team.

Li Long also thought twice about this big list.

The first is the age group. Li Long hopes to be composed of three generations: old, middle-aged and young.

Among them, there are surprisingly many young players, but basically all of them can play in the Super League.

But Li Mingchao is different, because he is currently in Shandong Luneng and has very few chances to play.

Then there is the interview of candidates. Most of Li Long's choices are, in fact, they are capable, but they have not been selected for the national team.

For example, central defender Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan is currently the main central defender of Jiangsu Suning.

His ability has always been recognized, but Lippi has never given Wang Yuan a chance. This is a good opportunity for Wang Yuan to prove himself.

After the big list appeared, it was questioned by many media.

The main reason is that in this big list, there are indeed many players who are not very selected for the national team.

In particular, many young players have been recruited, for example, there are 5 in the 95-year-old group.

And there's the 97 age group, and even the 99 age group.

Li Mingchao and Cui Dongzhen are post-2000 players, which made the media question whether Li Long's signs were a bit counterproductive.

They don't think that the two of them currently have the strength of the national team.
