With the national football team drawing 1-1 with the powerful Australian team in Sharjah, all the competitions of the national football team this year are over. It can be said that this year's national football team has made people look ups and downs, first of all, the top 40 matches have won 4 consecutive victories to get the best results of the group second to enter the top 12. At that time, many fans were full of confidence in the national football team, and even began to look forward to entering the World Cup. However, after the start of the round of 12, the first 0-3 loss to Australia allowed us to see the huge difference between the level of the top 40 and the top 12, and also saw the huge gap between the national football team and the first-class level in Asia. However, after several rounds of adaptation, the national football team gradually clarified its understanding of itself and its opponents, and finally made the correct corresponding decision when facing Australia again, and achieved a difficult draw.
It can be said that after these 6 games, our players are very hard, from chasing the rhythm of the opponent, to being able to adapt to the rhythm of the opponent, and launching a counterattack against the opponent, which requires great effort and is not easy. In particular, the main players in our squad are veterans, and even several of our naturalized strikers are in their 30s, so they have to play so many high-intensity games in such a short period of time, but also have to adapt to the fast pace, the physical test is huge, fortunately they really carried it. Unfortunately, however, our points situation has now made us farther and farther away from World Cup qualification, leaving only a theoretical possibility of losing.
So the veteran's hard work is touching, but we now have to focus on the future, because in the next 4 years, these main players may not be in the national team, and the performance of the young players in the national team is what we should pay attention to. And it is gratifying that after these games of the national football team, we have really seen some promising young players. For example, Zhang Yuning on the front line, it is obvious that his role on the field has surpassed the role of naturalized player Axon, and he is definitely a player that the future front of the national football team can rely on. Another surprise to us was Zhu Chenjie, a 21-year-old youngster in the center-back position.
Although Zhu Chenjie was brought into the national team by Lippi two years ago, and also played the main force in the top 40, the main defensive task is still on Feng Xiaoting, and Zhu Chenjie's performance is relatively immature. This time, Li Tie brought Zhu Chenjie to the national team again, playing in the games against Japan, Saudi Arabia and Oman and Australia, and in these games, we can see Zhu Chenjie's outstanding performance on the defensive and offensive ends. Especially against Oman, it was his header assist that helped Wu Lei score a goal. It can be said that in the eyes of many fans, Zhu Chenjie's performance has exceeded our expectations, and many people believe that Zhu Chenjie has basically been the main center-back of the future of the national football team, and even the top center-back.
So how strong is Zhu Chenjie? Recently, in a live broadcast program, Li Weifeng, the former captain of the national football team, who is also the core of the defense and is currently doing coaching, made his own professional evaluation of Zhu Chenjie. First of all, Li Weifeng believes that there are indeed many bright spots in Zhu Chenjie, and he also sees that he has made great progress compared with the past. But he is still a long way from being the top centre-back of the national football team.
The first is that several goals conceded by the national football team are related to him, such as the goal conceded with the Saudi Arabian team and the goal conceded in the second game with the Australian team, in fact, he is inaccurate in defensive prediction, resulting in a slow half beat, which is that this half shot caused the opponent to suppress his body and grab the point to break the goal. At that time, as long as he could react in time, half a step faster, both balls could be released. In general, Zhu Chenjie still has a lot of offensive space for standing and defensive judgment.
The second is the lack of active defense. After a few games, the main defensive role is still Jiang Guangtai, Zhu Chenjie lack of initiative to defend, take the initiative to force, break the ball and interfere, most of the time is passive to make choices, so it is easy to be contained by the opponent. Therefore, if Zhu Chenjie wants to become the commander of the future national football back line, he also needs to show his courage and domineering spirit to take the initiative to meet the enemy.
In addition, some people have said that Zhu Chenjie's height is a hard injury, but Li Weifeng does not think so, he feels that height is not a problem, mainly because your judgment of the ball is timely and accurate, you will grab the point before the other party. And Zhu Chenjie wants to grow better, it is necessary for experienced veterans to teach him. So it seems that in fact, Zhu Chenjie is still very good, although he is still a lot away from the top center-back needed by the national football team. But he is still young, and he still has a long time to learn and improve. And in the league, he is partnered with Feng Xiaoting, and I believe that under the leadership of Feng Xiaoting, Zhu Chenjie will make faster progress. Maybe one day Zhu Chenjie can really become the top center-back of the national football team. What do you think?
