国足0-3不敌伊朗止步八强：里皮辞职不再担任中国队主教练!（双语）

　　2019年亚洲杯1/4决赛，国足全场被动，三次致命失误导致失球，0-3负于伊朗，止步八强。里皮赛后确认：将不再担任中国队主教练!

　　Marcello Lippi head coach of China attends the 2019 AFC Asian Cup quarter final round match between China and Islamic Republic of Iran in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 24 January 2019.

　　ABU DHABI -- Marcello Lippi, the 70-year-old Italian legendary coach, said here Thursday that he will leave his position with China as his contract ends after the AFC Asian Cup tour.

　　The World Cup-winning coach did not take questions from the media but made a brief statement after tournament favorites Iran beat China 3-0 here on Thursday in the Asian Cup quarterfinal.

　　"I want to thank everyone here, because this match ends my contract with the Chinese national team," Lippi said.

　　"It has been a very huge honour for me to coach such an important national team for such an important country like China."

　　Chinese Football Association (CFA) named Lippi as coach of China's national team in 2016, when China suffered a 4-game winless run in the last stage of the Asian Zone qualifying campaign. Although China eventually failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia, Lippi impressed the fans with his team improvement, especially in their fighting spirit.

　　"I tried my best to make our team improving, and I think I built something in some aspects. I wish I could end this journey in a better way," Lippi said.

　　What made Lippi disappointed in his good-bye match was that his team conceded all three goals due to defensive errors.

　　"When you face a strong team like Iran, you have to avoid making the mistakes. I did not expect we lost the game in this way.

　　"We gifted a team like Iran three goals in such an important match. Our players did their best during the tournament, but tonight, I don't want to say 'thank you' to them," Lippi added.

　　Iran coach Carlos Queiroz, who called himself as "Lippi's student" before the match, said China have been improving under the guidance of Lippi.

　　"Mr. Lippi is one of the best coaches ever in football history. It's a pity that he cannot stay with China. We met in the World Cup qualifying match two years ago, and after that, China became much better organised, much better prepared," Queiroz said.

　　“谢谢我所有的球员付出了努力，他们牺牲了非常多，但是今天晚上我没有任何感谢的话要说，因为在如此重要的比赛中，出现了重复的失误。”里皮表示：“我和中国足协的合同到期了，我也不会再做国家队教练(中国队)这份工作。”在发言结尾，里皮不忘郑重地向球迷致谢!谢谢球迷支持中国国家队!
