On February 1, Beijing time, the Chinese national football team lost 1-3 to Vietnam in the 8th round of the World Preliminary Round of 12, which not only terminated the 9 consecutive wins against Vietnam, but also let the opponent win the first victory in the history of the round of 12. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, the original national football coach Li Xiaopeng promised not to add blockage to the fans, but now it seems that the national football team is really disappointing this time.
In this game, the national football coach Li Xiaopeng sent the strongest starting lineup of the current team in theory, especially the two naturalized players luo Guofu and Alain on the front line at the same time, which is also a combination that many fans have always wanted to see.
However, throughout the first half, there was no echo between Lo Kwok-fu and Alain, as well as another striker of the national football team, Wu Lei, and only 1 or 2 times between the three of them formed an attack, and the rest of the time was fought separately, firmly limited by the Vietnamese team.
On the other hand, Alain, who plays as a center forward, is obviously unable to adapt to Li Xiaopeng's tactical needs for him, whether it is withdrawing to take the ball or doing the ball with his back, Alain's slightly thin body cannot even take the lead in the confrontation with the Vietnamese defender. At the same time, Alain and Luo Guofu may have been on vacation in Brazil for too long, and their contribution to the defense of the national football team throughout the first half was almost zero, especially Luo Guofu, whose defensive enthusiasm is obviously not as good as Wu Lei on the other side.
At halftime, Li Xiaopeng replaced Luo Guofu and Alain and sent Wei Shihao and Zhang Yuning to the field. Although this did not help the national football team reverse in the end, the scene was obviously much better than in the first half. In this regard, many media also believe that Li Xiaopeng let two naturalized players start first in the first half, which is very inappropriate.
Song Chengliang, a well-known football journalist, said: "You see, Zhang Yuning's state is really good, you press on the bench, this is very bad, passed on a lot of negative emotions to the whole team. There are even fans who pull out the very different mental outlook of the national footballers in the first and second half: in the first half, after any Chinese team attacks and shoots out of bounds or is saved, there is no encouragement between teammates. But just now after Zhang Yuning's offside goal was invalid, two white teammates immediately came over and high-fived, which was very telling.
Reporter Yuan Ye also said: "Now look at the adjustment of Alan Luo Guofu should also be an established arrangement, it is estimated that they are also the physical fitness of the half, but it is better to let them play later than this... (Zhang Yuning) has been in such good shape lately, and it really should start. But also, no (naturalized players), you have to be scolded. ”
