Nearly 100 people on the national football training list What signal did Li Xiaopeng reveal after taking office?

Beijing, January 8 (Bian Liqun) On the evening of the 7th, the Chinese Football Association announced the new national football training list, and 52 players were recruited, plus the coaching team and the support team, a total of 93 people. As the first training list of Li Xiaopeng after he became the manager of the national football team, what kind of signal is revealed?

"Li Jiajun" is seeking steady progress

Judging from the training list in this issue, although as many as 52 players have been selected, it can be seen that Li Xiaopeng still wants to make steady progress after taking office. The big frame of the national football list is basically unchanged, and Wu Lei, Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai and other main players of the top 12 matches during Li Tie's previous period of coaching the national football team have been selected. The few changes in the big framework are Wang Gang and Wu Xinghan, both of whom are currently injured.

Of course, as far as the current reserve of Chinese male footballers is concerned, the players under the main framework of the previous 12 rounds have been basically the most preferred, whether it is the previous Lippi or Li Tie, the changes to the lineup are not large.

Li Xiaopeng, who has just taken office, wants to get rid of this main framework, I am afraid that it is not realistic in a short period of time, and the play space is nothing more than adjusting individual main players according to their different tactical needs. Moreover, the World Preliminary Round of 12 at the end of this month away to Japan is just around the corner, and there is not much room for adjustment in terms of time.

The big national team model is about to come out

Although the main framework is retained, from the entire 52-person training list, there are still many new faces. For example, 32-year-old Hou Sen, Zhao Hongluo, 29-year-old Li Shenglong, 24-year-old Wei Zhen and Wang Zhifeng, as well as U23 players Yan Dinghao, Wu Shaocong, Gao Tianyi, Jiang Shenglong, Han Jiaqi, Liu Ruovan, Dai Weijun and so on.

In the training list, 10 players from Shandong Taishan, becoming the team with the largest number of international players in the Chinese Super League, followed by the Guangzhou team with 9 recruits, the Beijing Guoan team with 7 people selected, and the Shanghai Harbor team with 6 people selected, most of the international players are still derived from the "BIG4" of the Chinese Super League.

Judging from the previous training and preparations, as many as 52 people have been recruited, which is indeed a bit rare, but this is probably also a helpless move at this stage. Under the epidemic, the national football team cannot carry out international warm-up matches, and the domestic league has basically ended, and it is not easy to warm up with domestic clubs, so it can only be more internal confrontation in the big national team model.

It is foreseeable that the big national team model will continue in the future for a period of time, and as the World Preliminary Tournament has gradually entered the end, the replacement of the national football team will also be put on the agenda, and the young players in the big national team will enter the main framework of about 30 people to a certain extent.

Luxury Teaching Assistant Group "Bringing the Old to the New"

In addition to as many as 52 players being called up, the 15-man luxury teaching assistant group is also unprecedented. Judging from the resume, many assistant coaches are all influential figures in the player era, such as Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, and Sun Xiang, who have had a good experience in the West, and most of the members are international footballers during the World Cup in South Korea and Japan. From this point of view, they will bring their experience to more young internationals and play the role of "leading the new with the old".

From the coaching point of view, Chen Yang, Yu Genwei, Li Jinyu, Zheng Zhi and Gao Yao are currently in charge of domestic clubs, but in addition to Chen Yang's many years of experience in coaching Chinese Super League teams, other assistant team members have little experience and resume in coaching positions.

Of course, for Li Xiaopeng, who has just taken over the national football team, there are so many old teammates and old partners, which will help to enter the role of the national football coach and carry out work, but it will take time to test what kind of role the specific team has in preparing for the game.
