HONG KONG : Six games into another increasingly futile attempt by China to qualify for the World Cup, Li Xiaopeng will be confronted by a host of issues when he takes over the head coach's role from Li Tie.
Having represented China during their debut - and so far only - appearance at the World Cup in 2002, Li Tie was one of a small number of Chinese to have played professionally in Europe. The Italian, though, fell short and quit after a World Cup qualifying loss against Syria in November 2019. In his place, Li Xiaopeng faces a monumental challenge to reignite China's slender hopes of making an impression on qualifying for Qatar 2022.
