1:3, this score will always haunt the minds of Chinese fans. No one would have expected that Fan Zhiyi's generous statement in a hurry would become a tragic reality on the first day of this year's New Year. While we use the passage to ridicule Fan Zhiyi for becoming a great prophet, we can't help but send a sigh for the indisputable national football team.
The result of the fiasco to Vietnam was that the Chinese team completely missed the opportunity to participate in the World Cup, and lost to the Vietnamese team for the first time in history. Just when fans across the country are making verbal criticisms, and all the famous mouths and celebrities of the national football team are painfully showing their interests and making suggestions for the future of the national football team, there are still media people who are talking about the fire, looking for various low-level excuses for the loss of the national football team, and the media person Zhao Zhen posted on social media, throwing the pot intensive schedule to excuse the loss of the national football team.
Zhao Zhen explained in his article: "Simply put, in the past two World Preliminary Tournaments, our players not only have a big gap with their opponents in terms of physical function, but also have a big gap with the first few games of the round of 12. It is reflected in the fact that there is little running on the field, slow reaction, and no point. This is related to the intensive schedule, and it is also related to the training arrangement of the preparation. At first glance, this statement does have a certain truth, but it is completely unable to withstand the scrutiny of reality.
League and national team matches lead to intensive schedules, which is not a case of encounter with The Chinese team at all, but a common phenomenon that all players will encounter, many players in Europe are facing the schedule of third-line combat, there is no so-called decline in physical function, Sun Xingyu and other players who play in foreign leagues, the same is a boat and car, in the face of intensive schedules still play a super personal strength. And in order to let the national football team have more time to prepare and play, the league has already made a huge sacrifice, Zhao Zhen's remarks are obviously intended to throw the pot and forcibly wash the white for the defeat of the national football team.
More critically, the national football team has actually shown a lack of physical reserves since the first game of the round of 12, facing the entire Australian backline can not ensure the full physical strength of the whole field, facing Japan is completely thrown out of the opponent's physical fitness in the second half. Such a problem is definitely not the last two games, but a long-accumulated stubborn disease, Zhao Zhen's words are obviously not convincing.
Although a fiasco once again made the fans feel the helplessness of empty joy, but life and games still have to continue to move forward, the national football team still has two games to play in the round of 12, so after returning home, the national football team still has to prepare seriously. According to the news of Xiao Zhao, a reporter of Beijing Youth Daily, the national football team will go to Suzhou for isolation and training, and coach Li Xiaopeng will continue to coach the national football team.
Although the two games in charge of the national football team ended in defeat, the dream of allowing the national football team to enter the World Cup was once again ruthlessly shattered, but as a firefighting coach, Li Xiaopeng really had no way to change such an ending. After all, from the time he took over the national football team to the top 12 match, the time was too hasty, and there was no way to study more player characteristics and tactical arrangements, and the results on this hard scalp would naturally not be miraculous. After Li Xiaopeng lost to Vietnam, he has always taken the responsibility on himself, and the discussion about his dismissal is even more noisy, but in the face of only two rounds of the schedule left, and the current impact of the epidemic, the Football Association cannot finalize a new manager in such a short period of time, so allowing Li Xiaopeng to smoothly transition through all the top 12 matches is the best option that the Football Association can choose at present.
In addition, according to the reporter's understanding, the coaching team led by Li Xiaopeng will conduct a comprehensive review of the losses of the two games to study the preparation plan for the last two round of 12 matches. Since everything has been lost, it is still hoped that the national football team can play a certain tactical level in the last two games, at least in the scene to let the fans see the momentum and spirit of hard work.
