With the promotion of 4 teams in the Chinese League One, the 2021 season of the Chinese Football League has finally come to an end. The players who should report to the national team have also begun to prepare, and there are many players selected for the national football team this time, a total of 52. Although 52 players were selected, there are still 3 major pearls, and it is a pity that 1 person did not enter. In the words of the fans, it is "what should go is not gone", then "the nature that should come will not come".
Among the national football players recruited by Li Xiaopeng this time, there are all old, middle-aged and young people. Veterans such as Zhang Linpeng, Wang Shenchao, Arthur Junmin, Yu Dabao, etc., the young ones have Yan Dinghao, Gao Tianyi, Han Jiaqi, Li Shuai, etc., and the Mesozoic generation has Wang Shangyuan, Deng Hanwen, Wei Shihao and so on. So who are the 3 major beads in the mouth of the editor? Is it older or younger?
The first major missing pearl is Dalian defender Tong Lei, who has been relegated to the Central League. Tong Lei, on the 16th of last month, just celebrated his 24th birthday and should belong to the range of young players. Although Dalian was relegated, Tong Lei's performance was not bad, playing as a right-back in the team and contributing 3 assists. Steals and interceptions averaged 2.2 and 2.0 per game respectively, both in the first place of the team, and in the same position in the league, steals ranked third and interceptions ranked second.
Although Tong Lei is young, he plays very steadily and is a player who is good at attack and defense. The right-back position of the national football team originally lacks excellent players, Tong Lei himself is good, coupled with the advantage of age, Li Xiaopeng really should take him to exercise, he was not selected, it is really a pity.
The second biggest pearl is Zhang Xiuwei of the Guangzhou team, when mentioning this name, I believe that many fans have begun to prepare to scold me. Indeed, if it was Zhang Xiuwei last season, or Zhang Xiuwei in the first half of the season, I would not mention the name Zhang Xiuwei. However, since the Guangzhou team became the all-Chinese class, Zhang Xiuwei's changes are obvious to all.
The first is that Zhang Xiuwei has good physical strength, from the beginning of the game to the end, he has always maintained the full field of galloping, and without cramps. After the midfield did not have foreign aid, Zhang Xiuwei's self-confidence has improved significantly, and his overall view of moving forward is much better than before. Of course, the ability to hold and control the ball still needs to be improved, but Zhang Xiuwei's spiritual head is lacking in many players in the national football team. In the midfield position, instead of using players who are experienced but can't run, it is better to give the opportunity to a player like Zhang Xiuwei who works very hard.
I remember one game, after guangzhou scored, everyone was celebrating, only Zhang Xiuwei stood next to the ball to prevent the opponent from quickly kicking off. This can show that Zhang Xiuwei is a very calm player, but also very hard, such a player really should be brought, even if not on the field, in the warm-up is also a good opponent. Zhang Xiuwei is about to turn 26 and belongs to the Mesozoic generation.
The third most important relic is Shanghai Harbor player Lu Wenjun. It is very strange that Lu Wenjun has been performing well, but no matter who is the national football coach, Lu Wenjun seems to be unwelcome. Far from it, from Lippi to Li Tie to Li Xiaopeng now, they all turned a blind eye to Lu Wenjun. Is it because zhang Yuning and Guo Tianyu and Wu Lei are recommended more, no one gives Lu Wenjun CALL, and even the national football coach selectively ignores it?
Lu Wenjun is about to be 33 years old, a veteran without compromise, since Tan Long and Yu Dabao can be selected, why can't Lu Wenjun? In the 2021 season, Lu Wenjun's performance was not bad, scoring 7 goals and 2 assists. Lu Wenjun is in the forward position, left and right wingers and center forwards can play, is not such a player fragrant? Just like the evaluation of Zhang Xiuwei, even if Lu Wenjun can't become the main force, he should be more than enough to be a sparring partner in the team, right?
