After six matches in the Round of 12 of the World Preliminary Round, the national football team temporarily ranked 5th with 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, 6 points away from Australia, which qualified for the play-offs. The national football team will face Japan on January 27, followed by Vietnam on the evening of February 1, also the first day of the Chinese New Year. At the end of March, the last two opponents of the round of 12, Saudi Arabia (March 24) and Oman (March 29) from West Asia. It is worth mentioning that these 4 matches, CCTV5 will be broadcast live.
The national football official announced a new training list, which has 52 people in this period. At the same time, the list of coaching staff was also officially announced, and Yu Genwei, Li Jinyu, Zhao Junzhe, Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi, Sun Xiang, Shao Jiayi, Wang Liang, Ou Chuliang, Li Leilei, and others were listed. Among them, Yu Genwei, Zhao Junzhe, Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi and Ou Chuliang are all meritorious players of the Chinese men's football team in the 2002 World Cup. Li Jinyu, Zheng Zhi and Li Leilei were Li Xiaopeng's club teammates during his time at Shandong Luneng.
Media people said that the 52-man national team, the last one left should be around 25, and then it depends on whose state is better. It is worth mentioning that the latest list of five naturalized players Alain, Jiang Guangtai, Axon, Lo Guofu and Fernando are all selected, according to the official documents of the Football Association, the current Alain, Axon, Lo Guofu and Fernando in Brazil need to report to the team on January 23.
This training season's Chinese Super League champion Shandong Taishan has 10 people selected for the big list, which is also the largest number of national football teams in Shandong's training list in recent years. The Guangzhou team, Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Seaport contributed 9, 7 and 6 respectively. Li Xiaopeng coached, with so many team members and luxurious teaching assistants, there are still many coaching ideas to observe.
Li Xiaopeng invited many players who participated in the World Cup in 2002, why didn't fan Zhiyi invite him? It should be noted that the few people invited by Li Xiaopeng, after the players ended the player era and retired, basically worked in the club, some were club coaches, some were in the club management, basically did not leave football, and although Fan Zhiyi was a player, his ability was beyond doubt, and it was understandable to say that he was the strongest center-back in Asia in the same era.
However, after retiring, although he had a short coaching career, he was not very successful. In 2007, he led the Suzhou Chipes team to compete for 5 months, and then resigned due to the team's salary dispute. After that, he followed his mentor Xu Genbao as the head coach of the East Asian team, and resigned after failing to surpass. Later, he became the head coach of the Shenhua reserve team, and there was a scandal of playing referees on the field. Fan Zhiyi's temperament went to the national football team, Li Xiaopeng could not be stopped, domestic football pays attention to factions, and his football philosophy and playing style are not necessarily unified with Li Xiaopeng.
Fan Dajun 69 years, Li Xiaopeng 75 years, from the player period to the retirement, obviously Fan Zhiyi's prestige is greater than Li Xiaopeng, Li Weifeng's reasons for not being selected are also similar to Fan Zhiyi, always can not put the former big guys into the coaching staff, there needs to be a trade-off.
