On January 8, Beijing time, after the big list of 52 people in the national football team came out, 5 of them were naturalized players.
If you do not count the 5 naturalized players such as Jiang Guangtai and Alain, there are a total of 47 international players. Among them, there are 23 southern players, 24 northern players, and only 1 difference between the north and the south.
Only 3 people in Hubei, a major traditional international footballer, were selected, which opened up the gap with Shandong and Liaoning. Both of the latter were selected by 8. Guangdong Province has only one international.
In addition, Anhui, Sichuan and Jiangsu, which do not have Chinese Super League teams, have a number of international players. And Liaoning's only Chinese Super League team Dalian Renren, the only international Li Shuai is not a local player in Dalian. This is very rare in history.
Among the selected players, Liaoning and Shandong have the largest number of players, reaching 8 each.
Jiangsu Suning is gone, but there are still 5 international players such as Li Ang, Shi Ke and Ji Xiang who have been selected for the big list.
Shanghai ranked fourth in the number of inductees, reaching 4. Provinces and cities with three selected players include Jilin, Hubei and Sichuan. Among them, Sichuan Province does not currently have a Chinese Super League team. Chengdu Rongcheng is also battling Dalian for a ticket to the Chinese Super League, and if they lose, their replacement pick is second in the Chinese First Division.
The provinces and cities with two international players include Chongqing, Beijing, Anhui and Henan. Among them, Anhui Province, which contributed Wei Zhen and Wei Shihao, not only does not have a professional football team, but they also have three post-00s players such as Wang Haijian, Liu Zhurun and Tao Qianglong. In addition, Four Anhui players, including Sun Qinhan, Huang Jiahui, Liu Zhurun and Tao Qianglong, were selected for the U23 team.
Provinces with only one international player include Guangdong, Guizhou, Zhejiang, Hebei and Hong Kong.
Among the four municipalities directly under the central government, Beijing, Chongqing and Shanghai have international footballers, and there are many of them. Although Tianjin has Jinmen Tiger, Wang Qiuming, Wang Gang and Wu Xinghan, who have previously been selected for the Li Tie national team, have all failed. However, all three of them were injured, among them, Wu Xinghan and Wang Gang performed well in the round of 12.
In the north, Guangzhou, Guangzhou and Shenzhen do not have international players. There are many players in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but there is not a single local player. However, in the latest U23 roster, Zhanjiang player Chen Guokang and Shenzhen player Peng Peng were selected for the big list.
In addition, most of the national football players are from coastal areas. There are fewer players in the Midwest, and none of the Xinjiang players have made the 52-man roster.
Sichuan, Anhui and Jiangsu do not have their own teams, but they have contributed a total of 10 internationals. This does not count Wu Xi, who has been working in Jiangsu for a long time.
This also allowed the number of Southern internationals to rise, almost on par with the number of Northern players. In the previous World Preliminary Tournament matches, Li Tie had sent a naturalized squad of 7 south, 2 north and 2.
In addition, among the newly built U23 teams, there are 4 Anhui players, 4 Jiangsu players, and Sichuan players xu Haofeng and Chen Xiao.
Dalian used to be half of the internationals, and now they have only 5 selected, only 2 more than the Shenyang international. Among the 8 Liaoning internationals, only Wang Dalei and Xu Xin have the strength to seize the main force, and the two also have to face competition from Wu Xi, Arthur Junmin and Yan Junling.
Among the 5 Dalian internationals, Zhao Hongluo, Wang Dalei, Tan Long and Liu Dianzuo are all over 30, and the young players only have Gao Providence. In the U23 roster, there are many Dalian players, but only Wen Xiaojun and Wang Xianjun and others are Dalian nationals.
