This evening, the Chinese Football Association finally announced the list of Li Xiaopeng's first training camp. The biggest feature of this list is the large team and luxurious lineup, with as many as 15 assistant coaches alone, including the head coaches of the Chinese Super League clubs Chen Yang, Yu Genwei, Li Jinyu, Zheng Zhi and so on.
This is the first training list after Li Xiaopeng succeeded Li Tie as the head coach of the national football team, which attracted quite a lot of attention, and finally Li Xiaopeng recruited a total of 52 players. The reason why so many players are recruited is that on the one hand, it is to examine the players, and on the other hand, it is also biased to carry out the team teaching competition.
There are many young players in the 52 squad, many of them are selected for the national team for the first time, such as Wu Shaocong of Guangzhou, Jiang Shenglong of Shanghai Shenhua on loan, Liu Ruovan, Wei Zhen of Shanghai Harbor, Dai Weijun of Shenzhen, etc. Most of them may not necessarily play with the team in Japan and Vietnam, but from the perspective of the national football team preparing for next year's Asian Cup and the next World Preliminary Tournament, the team does need to inject more fresh blood.
In terms of naturalized players, in addition to Axon, Luo Guofu, Alan and Jiang Guangtai in the Li Tie period, Fernando was also selected for this period of national football training list. Shandong Taishan, the champion of the 2021 Chinese Super League, has a total of 10 people selected, becoming the first largest international player in this training team. Guangzhou and Beijing Guoan clubs have 9 and 7 players each selected. Both clubs in Shanghai have multiple players selected. Shenhua's inductees are Wu Xi, Zhu Chenjie and Peng Xinli, of which Peng Xinli is a "newcomer". A total of 6 people were selected in Shanghai Harbor, including Yan Junling, Wang Shenchao, Li Ang, He Xi, Wei Zhen and Li Shenglong.
The coaching lineup of Li Xiaopeng's training list in the first phase is luxurious, with a total of 15 assistant coaches, including Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, Wang Liang, Li Jinyu, Li Leilei, Sun Jihai, Zhao Junzhe, Sun Xiang, Gao Yao and other former internationals in different periods. There are not only the head coaches of the current Chinese Super League teams, but also the vice presidents of the current Chinese Super League clubs. Li Xiaopeng's favorite Spanish assistant coach Pep and Brazilian physical coach Owen Wilk were also invited to enter the national football coaching team.
Li Xiaopeng began training in Shanghai on January 11 to prepare for the World Preliminary Round of 12 against Japan and Vietnam. The national football team will play Japan away on January 27, followed by Vietnam on February 1.
