According to the "Football News", the 52-man roster of the national football team is not only to select the top 12 lineup, but also to prepare for the 2023 Asian Cup.
Li Xiaopeng's appointment as the national football coach was relatively hasty, and he did not have enough time to examine the players, so it was a good emergency measure to recruit more players and arrange intra-team confrontations. Although the list of 52 people is slightly larger, Li Xiaopeng may be more able to understand this move from the perspective of his task of taking up the position of national football coach.
Li Xiaopeng's first task as the manager of the national football team is the round of 12, but the hope of the national football team to qualify is almost zero, so his more clear task is the 2023 local Asian Cup. When the local Asian Cup is held, the existing players in the round of 12 are 36 years old, the 89 generation will be 34 years old, and the 90, 91 and 92 generation players will also be over 30 years old, so the national football team will be dominated by the 93 and 95 age groups, while supplementing the 89 age group and the players after 97 years.
Judging from the 52-man roster in this issue, among the newly selected players, 7 players born in 1987-1991, 8 players born in 1993 and 1995, and 10 players born after 1997, Li Xiaopeng strengthened the strength of the Mesozoic and New Generations, which shows that the "Peng I Phase" is more for the 2023 Asian Cup and the future.
