In the first national football training list after Li Xiaopeng took office, the number of international footballers reached 52 and the number of assistant teachers reached 15, which made the outside world "eye-opening". The players participating in the training will not all accompany the team to japan and Vietnam's 2 away games, Li Xiaopeng's team building ideas can not be glimpsed from the big list, only after the list of away games is released, can we clearly see the attitude of the national football preparation leading group for the final 4 rounds of 12 matches.
The training squad ≠ the top 12
52 internationals participated in the training (overseas players, unrelated naturalized internationals went directly to the away game), although before the list was released, the national team had been released through the relevant media, but so many internationals participated in the training camp still surprised the outside world. It should be known that during the previous period of Li Tie's coaching, more than 30 internationals were recruited for the first 6 rounds of the round of 12, and before the Western Expedition in November last year, the big list was also "laid off" (some internationals left the team on the grounds of family affairs).
During Li Tie's coaching period, there are still club teams to accompany the national football team to "warm up", Li Xiaopeng's first training camp after taking office is slightly embarrassing, the 2021 season of the New Year's Eve has just ended, and all teams have ushered in a rare holiday, not only can not invite overseas teams to warm up, but even domestic clubs can not accompany the training. As a result, half of the 52ers' roster is destined to serve as sparring partners for internationals in the next 2 rounds of away games.
And after Li Xiaopeng took office, although the big list of the national football team has been adjusted, most of the main internationals in the Li Tie period have been called up, and only the list of international players who have played 2 away games in Japan and Vietnam has surfaced, which can spy the national football preparation leading group and Li Xiaopeng's attitude towards the last 4 rounds of the 12 rounds. The national football team is currently on the verge of being out, whether to let go and save face, or prepare for the 2023 Asian Cup in advance, this is the dilemma in front of Li Xiaopeng.
In the case of hopelessness to qualify, you can only reuse the veteran, and choose to train the team, the results of the last 4 rounds are not as good as the first 6 rounds, Li Xiaopeng will be bombarded by the outside world at the beginning of his tenure, and it is impossible to explain to the fans and public opinion.
Young players entering the team to receive inspection or pure sparring?
The renewal task that was not completed during the Lippi period, Li Tie did not push forward under huge pressure, and the average age of the starting of the first 6 rounds of the 12 rounds of the national football team was around 30 years old, and these historical problems are now all thrown to Li Xiaopeng. The first training list announced by Li Xiaopeng includes many young players who have played well in the second stage of the Chinese Super League, including 21-year-old Wu Shaocong, Jiang Shenglong and Han Jiaqi, 22-year-old Liu Ruovan, 23-year-old Yan Dinghao and Gao Tianyi, and all of them are selected for the first time in the training list of the national football team.
However, these young players are recruited, whether to be a sparring partner for big brothers, or to accept the inspection of the national football coaching team headed by Li Xiaopeng, judging from the media reports, the probability of acting as a sparring partner is extremely high, which incidentally lays the foundation for the renewal of the national football team. Dai Weijun, who replaced the association in the list, is not yet qualified to play in official competitions for the national football team, and it is not difficult to see from this that under the current situation, Li Xiaopeng is casting a wide net.
The exit of the round of 12 is basically a matter of certainty, and the East Asian Cup held on home in the middle of the year is one of the few training opportunities for the national football team before next year's Asian Cup. If Li Xiaopeng's steps can be taken a little bigger, the last 4 rounds of the 12 rounds should be "laid out" in advance, but there are not a few coaches who use formal competition training to be "settled after the autumn" by public opinion, and Gao Hongbo's encounter that year must be very clear in Li Xiaopeng's heart.
Most of the international footballers who were selected for the first time in the national football training list could not go with the team to the next 2 away games, and only used 1-2 in-team teaching matches to examine the players, and Li Xiaopeng would not be so arbitrary.
What's the big national team concept? How many people can naturalize help?
In the chaos of the first 6 rounds of the 12 rounds, the Football Association not only "sacrificed" Li Tie to leave the class, but also took the right to speak of the national team, and the prototype of the national football preparation leading group reported by the media was also vividly reflected in Li Xiaopeng's first training list. The number of coaching teams and staff of the national football team has reached 41, plus 52 international footballers, the number of the team is close to 100 people, which is extremely rare in the history of national football.
The concept of the big national team has existed in the Lippi period, and other national teams have also existed, including the Chinese women's volleyball team. But lippi's training has never recruited so many international footballers at one time, and previous media reports said that in the national football preparation leading group, chen Shuyuan, chairman of the Football Association, is only the deputy team leader, so this super huge list, especially the composition of the coaching team, far exceeds the configuration specifications of a team, I am afraid that it is not Li Xiaopeng who "has the final say", and even the Football Association does not have the final decision.
Among the naturalized players, Axon, Fernando, Alain and Lo Guofu, who are far away in Brazil, have all been selected, of which Fernando has been "lying flat" in Brazil for half a year, and the other 3 naturalized internationals have not played official matches for 2 months. It is difficult to guarantee the status of the national football team list, I am afraid that Li Xiaopeng's original intention, even if he can go directly to Japan on January 23, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Continue to recruit non-blood naturalized internationals, but how many of these naturalized internationals can return to the team, can they play their due role, and also have to be marked with a big question mark, especially if there is no money as a stimulus, there can also be a bloody scene of flying and blocking the gun hole?
Wuhan team international team big change, erased li tie traces?
Li Tie in the position of national football coach, the number of International players in Wuhan once ranked among the top 4 in the Chinese Super League, from the perspective of play, Li Tie is not meritocratic, but nepotism. Although he also went to the national football team from the position of wuhan team coach, but the 52-man super huge training list, Li Xiaopeng only recruited 3 Wuhan team players, in addition to Arthur Junmin, Zhao Hongluo and Wang Zhifeng are new internationals, and Li Tie's favored Wuhan team players do not coincide at all.
And among the 15 assistant coaching teams, only goalkeeper coach Ou Chuliang remained during the Li Tie period, but among the local coaches of the Chinese Super League team in the 2021 season, Chen Yang, Yu Genwei, Li Jinyu and Zheng Zhi entered the national football team to assist Li Xiaopeng. Li Xiaopeng did not "bring" his old partner Hao Wei to the national football team, which may have the intention of avoiding suspicion, and the other 2 remaining local managers of the Chinese Super League, Mao Yijun and Yang Weijian, are acting managers, and it is understandable that they did not go to the national football team.
Of course, so many Chinese Super League coaches, as well as former international footballers have appeared in the coaching staff, the voice released to the outside world is that Li Xiaopeng can unite many front-line coaches in Chinese football, once there is a bad situation, I am afraid it is another statement.
