This World Preliminary Tournament, especially the World Preliminary Tournament in Asia, can see a lot of problems with the Chinese team, but a problem may be very troublesome, that is, the Chinese team has no core players in the 2026 World Cup, in fact, this time it is still dependent on the 90 or so of this group of players to play the main force to enter the top 12, maybe the next World Preliminary Tournament is no round of 12, After all, it is 8.5 places, but it is estimated that it should be the format of the top 40 matches, so in this case, there is no problem for the strong teams in the Asian region to enter the World Cup, but who does the Chinese team rely on? Now counting points should be around 9th place in the round of 12, but the opponent is basically younger players, and that's the problem.
When most of the teams began to use players around 1994 to play this World Preliminary Tournament, the core of the Chinese team was still this group of players around 89 years, which was already an era behind, but these players could be used because they had played the World Preliminary Tournament, or at least the Asian Youth Championship could still have some performance
From the current situation, the national football team should be in the top 12 matches, the overall age is the largest, the core main force is the oldest, basically all players over 30 years old play the game, and these players according to the rest of the team's thinking, may leave two or three to play the core is enough, but the Chinese team is basically all the core, this is the helpless place, but this idea is also right, after all, for the national football team, this group of players over 30 years old should be the last batch of players who can perform in the Asian Youth Championship, the rest are not qualified, There is no experience in the World Youth Championship, so when, the national youth team can have the opportunity to participate in the World Youth Championship, basically the Chinese team is not a big problem, after this group of players participated in the World Youth Championship around 89 years, in the past few World Preliminary Tournaments are the core, no one can replace, the opponent Vietnamese team, in fact, should be the runner-up of the Asian Youth Championship, also participated in the World Youth Championship, this set of lineups formed the team of this World Preliminary Tournament, that is, four years later, this team may be better, this is the trouble, so, the current age of the Chinese team is a big problem, But if you change, you may have to give up the players from 99 years ago.
In fact, the players of 99 years ago are basically abandoned state, 91 to 98 years or so of this group of players, the Olympic qualifier results are not good, the Asian Youth Tournament should be difficult to qualify from the group, this is the reality, 99 years after this batch of players, now about 23 years old, should be the next 2026 World Preliminary Tournament core, but this group of players is now good place is, at least want to go out, this is a good thing, Guo Tianyu is a head, although it is a loan, but if the performance is good, it must not come back, According to the current thinking of the Football Association, most of the players after this age group are basically sent away, go out to see if they can stay in the West successfully, if they can't stay in the West, come back, there will always be players who have successfully stayed in the West, which is the case. But this group of players now looks like there is no particularly reliable player except for Guo Tianyu, but Guo Tianyu is a center, and the center needs midfield support, which is another problem for the national team, so, not surprisingly, after 99 years, the Chinese team still needs to have naturalized players, because the middle age group has been broken, and the player's ability is completely unsatisfactory.
But the question also arises, should the Chinese Super League reduce the number of foreign aid and upgrade the U23 policy?
This is the real problem, now foreign aid is four can start, that is, the domestic players are left with seven players, plus the U23 policy, there are six domestic players have a chance, but the U21 policy can also join, this policy is actually better, in fact, simply stipulate that the team needs three young people to play a game, so that young people may grow better, although under the U23 policy, many players are not played, but still adhere to this policy, so that young people may have the opportunity to grow up, In fact, now that the level of foreign aid has declined, it may not be a problem to use more domestic young people, but may this policy be possible?
According to the current policy, in fact, the Chinese Super League should be transformed into a league that cultivates young people, after the success of cultivating young people, players go out to stay in the Ocean, which is such a way of thinking, but after the end of the Golden Dollar football, many people want to go out, so continue to limit salaries, may still be a good choice, so good players want to get high income, that is, to go out, which may be conducive to staying in the Ocean. The next Chinese team's future core is Hou Yongyong and Delgado, is not very helpless, this is the two midfield cores of the Chinese team, although Hou Yongyong and Delgado in the domestic league for many reasons, are not the absolute main force, but should be the new season to slowly become the main force, continue to naturalize the players, at least in recent years the team to complete the transition, in fact, the problem of the national team is the show of the club problem, when the club can leave players because of high salaries, the level of the domestic league is not enough, These players can't improve, that's the problem.
