The round of 12 ushered in the off-season, the national football team will also return to the club to compete in the remaining Chinese Super League, there is currently more than a month left from the seventh round of the life and death battle with the Japanese team, for Li Xiaopeng, how to select really high-quality talents to serve the country, abandon Li Tie's previous set of "relationship theory" selection criteria, is the key to determining whether the national football team can successfully qualify.
It can be seen from the previous coaching of Shandong Luneng that the tactical core of Li Xiaopeng's guidance is defensive counterattack. He is very good at using the breakthrough of two wingers to implement the long pass rush play. Although this style of play seems to be relatively backward and the tactical content is relatively low, considering that the level of this group of international footballers is relatively limited, it is understandable that Li Xiaopeng promoted such tactics in the national football team. Frankly speaking, the positioning of the national football team is a weak team, and every game needs to be based on defense, but the use of naturalized players and wingers to create counter-attack opportunities.
Therefore, if you want to implement such tactics well, good defense is the premise. At present, Li Xiaopeng's most worrying thing is whether the two strongest central defenders of the national football team, Zhang Linpeng and Jiang Guangtai, can return to the team to participate in the second stage of the Chinese Super League. After the dissolution of the national team, Zhang Linpeng and Jiang Guangtai did not return to the club, arrived at the Chinese Super League with Evergrande, if they can't play in the next step, can't maintain their status, then when the top 12 matches, their physical state will be marked with a huge question mark, once they lose these two defensive sea god needles, the national football team is not to say that it is to play Japan, even oman, Vietnam may have to work hard.
However, what is surprising is that according to the latest news from Football News, Zhang Linpeng has arrived in the Chinese Super League on her own and conducted the first team training with guangzhou, and Jiang Guangtai has just met with the team, and he will also join the training camp after the break. That is to say, these two defensive gates will participate in the Chinese Super League in the future to maintain their competitive status, and it can be seen from Jiang Guangtai's willingness to return to the team that guangzhou's arrears in the salaries of naturalized players may have been resolved. The return of these two people can be regarded as a timely rain, and Li Xiaopeng is finally relieved.
In history, the national football team and Japan have met in a total of 37 official matches, and the national football team has a record of 15 wins, 8 draws and 14 losses. But it is undeniable that after entering the 21st century, the national football team has not yet won any victory in Japan, which can also reflect the current strength gap between the national football team and the Japanese team. Looking at the last 6 meetings between the two sides, in fact, the score is quite close, the Japanese team can only win the national football team by 1 goal at most, and most of them are 1-2 such scores, the first leg of the 12 rounds, the national enough to lose 0-1, such a score also told Li Xiaopeng, as long as the details are better, the national football team has a full chance to draw or even win.
The Current International Ranking of the Japanese team is 26th and the national football team is 74th, considering the gap in hard power between the two sides and the mediocre stature of Japanese players, Li Xiaopeng's guidance is more determined to play with long passes. From this previous game, it can be seen that Zhang Linpeng and Jiang Guangtai, the two centre-backs, have the ability to accurately play the ball forward, and the fulcrum role of Zhang Yuning and Axon is particularly obvious, with Li Xiaopeng's guidance of Wu Xinghan, Jin Jingdao and other side fast horses and Wu Lei's ghostly running position, the national football team is expected to play a new spirit in the case of a battle against the water, in the evening of January 27, 2022, 19:00 prime time, this big battle will sound the horn, as long as it can defeat Japan, Then the national football team will have more initiative in the group qualification.
