In order to prepare for the round of 12 at the end of January, Li Xiaopeng, the new head coach of the national football team, selected a training list of 52 people, plus more than a dozen local assistant coaches, and began training in Shanghai, and all the domestic players are currently in place. Yesterday, the national football team also held a group confrontation competition. Although the promotion to the World Cup is only theoretically possible, the national football team began to prepare for the next two rounds half a month in advance, which obviously shows the importance attached to the next two round of twelve matches.
However, just today, the national football team has sent out bad news. According to the beijing youth daily report, the national football team has 6 international football players did not participate in this morning's training, the reason is that these players have different degrees of fatigue, the national football coaching team is worried about the player training injuries, so it has been deliberately strengthening the protection of key players of the national football team. It is reported that these 6 international footballers are Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Yuning, Arthur Junmin, Yu Dabao and Chi Zhongguo.
These players are definitely the core main players of the national football team, and they are also the main players of the club in the previous Chinese Super League matches, so it is very normal for fatigue to appear. Coupled with the fact that the chinese Super League format is too dense, the consumption of players is definitely greater in the home-and-away system of the game. Imagine if the Chinese Super League were to run normally and maintain the intensity of one game a week, the players would not be too tired and would be able to maintain their game status.
In the final analysis, it can only be said that the Football Association itself dug a pit for itself, on the one hand, in order to ensure that the national football players are not affected by the Chinese Super League, directly suspended the Chinese Super League during the national football match; on the other hand, in order to maintain the competitive state of the players, they chose to train shortly after the end of the Chinese Super League. Now, the Football Association's original practice of shutting down the Chinese Super League for the sake of national football matches was wrong, and it was simply not to treat the national football players as players.
Compared with the Japanese players who are playing in the Europa League instead of training, the national football team's "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets" training is really paddling. There are still ten days to go, at this time, these core players within the national football team, those who have injuries must be healed, and the head coach without injuries does not want them to play warm-up games? If you are injured in the warm-up game, it is a big loss for the national football team, and if you don't play the warm-up game, then training so early will become meaningless.
Finally, let's talk about the arrangement of naturalized players in the national football team. According to the current situation, it is unlikely that Brazil will return naturalized, and the possibility of Jiang Guangtai's return is unknown. This time, Li Xiaopeng is taking the way of squad confrontation to select players, but in the end it should still be the old faces, and it is unlikely that too many new people will appear. After all, for Li Xiaopeng, the position of the head coach of the national football team is not easy to sit, and Li Tie is a lesson from the past.
