With 52 players and a record 15 members of the coaching staff, Li Xiaopeng's first fire in the national football team illuminated the entire Chinese football scene. This training of players and coaches involves a large number of teams, and the personnel are widespread, which is the highest in the previous national football training, which can be described as unprecedented.
It is said that Li Xiaopeng was famous for his popularity in the national team, and it can be seen from the list of coaching staff of this national football training list. Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, Zhao Junzhe, Li Jinyu, Li Leilei and Yu Genwei are all former national football teammates of Li Xiaopeng. In this coaching list, 4 people are active Chinese Super League managers.
Looking at the list of international footballers, almost all the age-appropriate internationals have been netted, but the fly in the ointment is that the sharp-eyed fans found that although Li Xiaopeng cast a big net, there are still three "big fish" that have slipped through the net.
The first "big fish" that slipped through the net - Gao Zhun Wing (26 years old, defender)
With his outstanding performance in the first stage of the 2021 season, Gao Zhunyi was selected for Li Tie's national football team and went with the team to West Asia to compete in the round of 12. But I don't know why, Gao Zhunyi did not get Li Tie's reuse, and only played once on the bench during the period.
In the second stage of the Chinese Super League competition, the number of appearances of the high-precision wing was significantly reduced, and the play stopped and stopped. There were only 3 starts and 0 substitutes in 8 rounds, and only the 15th, 19th and 20th rounds were played. This is in stark contrast to his 12 starts and 2 substitutions in the first stage of 14 rounds.
Why did Gao Zhun wing not have a chance to compete in the national football team? Is it related to his injury, or has it not been in good shape recently?
Previously, he and Wei Shihao were "returned" by Li Tie, and it is reported that the reason is that he was injured. However, from the second stage, Gao Zhunyi played a total of 3 rounds, indicating that his injury was not serious enough to play the ball.
So, is it because of the recent poor performance? From the performance alone, although the performance of the high-precision wing is not as high as the first stage, it is not even impossible to enter the 52-man roster. Therefore, why Gao Zhun Wing failed to be selected is confusing.
The second "big fish" that slipped through the net - Lu Wenjun (32 years old, forward)
If you only look at the league performance, Lu Wenjun is absolutely eligible for the national football team.
This season, Lu Wenjun has performed well, scoring 7 goals + 2 assists, and the number of goals scored is second only to Zhang Yuning and Guo Tianyu among local players. Lu Wenjun's assist talent was vividly reflected in the last round of the match against Guangzhou, it was he who gave Liu Zhurun a wonderful blow to help the latter break the deadlock, and finally Haigang also won the second place in the league with this goal.
Lu Wenjun was once selected for the national football team, but that was already the old imperial calendar. After the departures of big-name foreign strikers Hulk and Arnautovic, Lu Wenjun became the main scorer for the Harbor team.
This time, a total of 6 people from Shanghai Harbor were selected for the big list, and li Shenglong, 30, was the only forward to be selected. This season, Li Shenglong has scored far fewer goals than Lu Wenjun. Therefore, in terms of performance alone, Lu Wenjun is far more qualified than Li Shenglong to enter the national football team.
The third "big fish" that slipped through the net - Tong Lei (25 years old, defender)
In the past 2 seasons, Tong Lei has really risen in the Dalian people's team, and he has become more and more confident, with excellent ball handling and scoring ability, he has long replaced teammate Li Shuai as dalian's first knife defender.
Li Shuai, who was once selected for the national football team during Lippi's coaching period, but his later performance can be described as invisible to everyone, and his performance in these two seasons alone is much inferior to that of Tong Lei.
Today, Li Shuai has been selected for the national football team, becoming the only active international in the Dalian team! Then, Tong Lei, who is 2 years younger, should enter the national team.
In summary, in the case of such a wide range of materials, the failure of these 3 powerful players surprised fans. Although Li Xiaopeng cast a big net to catch big fish, he still missed these 3 "big fish". What are the reasons for the failure of these 3 people? I'm afraid only Li Xiaopeng knows.
