Li Tieke is notoriously "tireless", whether as a player or coach, he has attracted the attention of fans. As a member of the national team, he runs very fast in every race, tens of thousands of meters!
But recently, he switched from a sports channel to a CCTV news channel and participated in the annual anti-corruption blockbuster. I remember that on November 26, more than a year ago, Li Tie was investigated on suspicion of serious violations, and this matter caused a stir in Chinese football.
He was 32 years old when he retired, but he didn't leave football. Instead, he set a new goal of becoming the head coach of the Chinese national team in the next 10-15 years.
Back then, in 2001, he won two awards, the best player in the A League and the Chinese Footballer!
At that time, in the World Cup, Li Tie participated in all three group games, and his performance was not bad. But it's a pity that the Chinese team failed to qualify for that World Cup. But for professional footballers, it's already an honor to be able to participate in the World Cup!
After the World Cup, Li Tie came to the Premier League and became one of the first Chinese players to compete in the Premier League. He's been in the Premier League for four seasons
Later, in 2008, he returned to China to join Chengdu Sheffield United, and then returned to Liaoning at the end of his career.
Did you know?By 2010, because of a serious injury, Li Tie was actually in a semi-retired state. In his more than ten years of professional football, the most impressive thing is that his physical fitness is super good!
His main task is to intercept and defend on the pitch and rarely score goals. So some fans ridiculed him as a "long-distance runner".
However, no matter which national team it is in, the coaches like to bring Li Tie. Even people like General Fan said, "The Chinese team can do without anyone, but it can't do without Li Tie"!
Time flew by in May 2012, when Evergrande Xujia Printing invited Italian coach Silver Fox Lippi to coach in China at a large price.
Lippi wanted to find a Chinese assistant to help him, who had to know English, had experience studying abroad, and had to know football to help the coach communicate with the players.
As a result, Li Tie, who retired not long ago, just met these conditions!So he successfully received an invitation from Lippi and officially started his career as a teaching assistant.
Under the careful guidance of internationally renowned coaches, Li Tie spent those two years of precious learning time. After returning from school, he returned to the national team and became the right-hand man of the new national team head coach Perrin.
From club to national team, Li Tiezhen has accumulated a wealth of experience, and now in the Chinese football world, he knows a lot about relationships.
His coaching career can really be said to be super successful. In August 2015, he took office and became the head coach of Hebei Huaxia.
In the last nine rounds, they achieved eight wins and one draw, and in this way, Huaxia Happiness successfully qualified!It's exciting to think about, the fans cheered wildly, and the players on the field hugged each other excitedly.
In November 2017, Li Tie came to Wuhan, Hubei, which is not an ordinary city!He's wearing three hats!He is not only the general manager of Wuhan Zall, but also the sports director and head coach of the team. And guess what?In 2018, Zall successfully advanced three rounds ahead of schedule!At that time, the fans on the side of the stadium held high the banner of "Chinese Super League Ironclad", celebrating the team's victory, and also hoping that Li Tie could lead the team to achieve better results.
It felt like the whole city was going crazy and people were pouring into the streets to celebrate this great occasion together.
But Wuhan is not a place where Li Tie stays for a long time, and in his heart, he has always had a dream of becoming the head coach of the national team.
So, in January 2020, after Lippi resigned, Li Tie became the second youngest head coach in the history of the national football team!I achieved my goal 2 years ahead of schedule!
It's really awesome!It only took 8 years!From assistant coach to club head coach to national team head coach, Li Tie really completed the first jump in his coaching career. This kind of experience is super rare even in the world!
In November 1993, a "Jianlibao Youth Team" composed of 22 youthful Chinese teenagers, carrying the country and their own dreams, embarked on a journey to Brazil, the kingdom of football, to pursue the legendary football dream.
The captain of this team is Li Tie, who later shined in the football world. In an article "When I'm 25 Years Old," he once poured out his ambitions for the next six years.
He aspires to be a key player in the local football team, winning the national championship and the Ballon d'Or and taking a regular position in the national team.
He even dreams of making a name for himself in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers and becoming one of the best in Asia. And his other wish is to play in Europe one day, so that the whole world can see him and see the hope of Chinese football.
You may be unbelievable, but in less than six years, Li Tie has achieved his goals one by one and lived as the envy of others.
He flourished on the football field and won numerous honors and fame. Of course, football has brought him much more than that.
Football is more like a gold mine that brings him great financial benefits. When Li Tie hung up his boots and retired, China's football environment changed dramatically.
At that time, Evergrande boss Xu Jiayin and other businessmen smelled business opportunities and began to invest heavily in the football industry. They are eager to achieve good results, because results represent brand value, and brand value can promote the development of the entire industry.
With Evergrande taking the lead in success, other businessmen have followed suit, and the enthusiasm for football in society as a whole has never been higher. As a result, the fortunes of countless football practitioners have changed dramatically.
At the same time, Li Tie also started his business career. He registered a company under Evergrande that focuses on early childhood football education.
He uses his experience and enthusiasm to contribute his strength to the cause of Chinese football and help Chinese football move towards a more brilliant future.
Coach Li Tie really shines this time!Since his successful change of role, his business has been like a rocket, and the business has expanded rapidly.
Did you know?The Li Tie children's football education he engaged in has now spread to 67 cities in 15 provinces across the country, covering 1,028 kindergartens, and the number of students has exceeded 100,000. It's amazing!
Remember 2017?At that time, Li Tie built a football park named after him on the south bank of the Hunhe River in Shenyang. That park caused quite a stir!
Even ** rushed to report, and even the national team coach Lippi personally came to support him. What's more worth mentioning is that among the various advertisements in the park, the logo of Jianlibao Company is particularly conspicuous.
If you think about it, Jianlibao is the benefactor who sponsored Li Tie to study in Brazil 20 years ago, and this deep relationship of affection and close business interests has made the cooperation between the two closer.
Not only that, after Li Tie led the national team to the top 12, Jianlibao also specially launched a Li Tie co-branded canned drink. This is not your average treatment!
Let's talk about Li Ning Company, their cooperation with Li Tie can be traced back to 2003, when Li Tie became the spokesperson of Li Ning football series products.
Did you know?Before Li Tie led the team to the top 12 of the World Cup qualifiers, Li Ning also gave him a lifetime endorsement contract worth tens of millions. That's not a small amount!
Of course, Li Tie's success is not just because of his player and coach resume. His network advantage should not be underestimated. Coupled with the support of the national team coach, he is simply a fish in water on the road to business transformation!According to an insider, Li Tie's emotional intelligence is particularly high, and he is very good at dealing with leaders and bosses. This kind of ability is invaluable in the business world.
Remember 2017?When Li Tie first came to Wuhan, he quickly served as general manager and head coach, with an annual salary of up to 12 million. It's not just someone who can do it. This is enough to prove his ability and worth.
On January 5, 2020, the Chinese men's national football team held a meeting for the inauguration of the head coach. Li Tie in front of the camera said excitedly: "Serving the country, even if it is just a sign, I have no hesitation!.""How powerful this sentence is!However, although everyone felt that he should resign from the club, it was later revealed that he was also in the management position of Wuhan Zall Club. It turned out that Li Tie flew to Wuhan to negotiate with Zall Club on the second day after taking office, and finally Zall Club paid a price of 60 million. That's a lot of money!
After that, Spaniard Jose became the head coach of Wuhan Zall in January 2020, but he found that he was not really in charge of the team, but Li Tie. As the head coach of the national team, Li Tie has the final say in the introduction of domestic and foreign aid, training and game arrangements for the Wuhan team. That's a big deal!By September 2020, an enraged Jose had chosen to resign. The Wuhan team was also almost relegated because of this personnel turmoil, and was barely relegated until the relegation play-offs were played. This is really a wave of unsettled!
This led to a rift within the Wuhan Zall team, and they felt that Li Tie's promise to be cared for by the upper echelons of the Football Association and improve the team's performance was not fulfilled. Hopefully they will be able to solve this problem soon!
On the Wuhan Zall side, they felt that Li Tiexian had violated the contract, and Wuhan was the most serious place in the epidemic at that time, and business had become a big problem, so where could there be money to pay him that high salary. But Li Tie felt that he should take 60 million, so he insisted on finding Chen Xuyuan, chairman of the Football Association. Hey, in the end, Chairman Chen personally stepped in and helped him get the money back. At this time, Wuhan Zall was embarrassed, so he could only hold it in his heart and not say it, and the relationship between the two sides was over.
If Li Tie's coaching performance in the national team is good enough, then he may still be the head coach of the national team today. However, in the top 12 matches in 2021, our national football team lost to Australia and Japan, with the scores of 0:3 and 0:1, which made Li Tie miserable. Later, he lost 2-3 to Saudi Arabia, which made Li Tie's situation even more embarrassing.
At that time, Li Tie's use of naturalized players in the game was questioned, especially against Oman. Obviously, the national football team is leading 1-0, but Li Tie replaced the naturalized players early, what is the result?
The Oman team just equalized, and now our national football team has little hope of impacting the Qatar World Cup, and the fans are shouting "Li Tie is out of class" after the game.
And on November 16, 2021, the national football team drew 1-1 with Australia. At the post-match press conference, Li Tie nagged for half an hour, which is like the summary of the national team coach, it is simply a personal "complaining conference"!
The next day, Li Tie also posted Jiugongge** on his social platform, which also has a brand poster with which he has a business partnership. Tell me, his grades are so poor, how can he have the heart to improve, patronizing and complaining!
