At the 2023 Asian Cup finals in China, a final draw ceremony for the final stage of the qualifiers will be held at 3 p.m. on February 24, with 24 teams competing for the last 11 places. As the host, the Chinese men's football team locked in the qualification in advance, and after missing the World Cup, the national football team needed to achieve good results through the Asian Cup, and then Li Xiaopeng led the team to prepare in advance.
At the beginning of this month, the national football team lost 1-3 to Vietnam away, missing the World Cup two rounds in advance, while proving that now this national football team has been unable to play vietnam, the aging of the squad is a serious problem, it must be updated, more young players must be added, and prepare for the Asian Cup and the next World Preliminary Tournament.
At present, the national football team is quarantined in the designated hotel in Suzhou, and has been in closed training for half a month, continuing to prepare for the re-opening of the top 12 at the end of March.
As the coach, Li Xiaopeng continued to lead the team to close training, and also continued to recruit 10 players, all under the age of 30, including Duan Liuyu, Gao Tianyi, Han Jiaqi, Jiang Shenglong, Tong Lei, Liao Lisheng, Gao Zhunyi, Wu Shaocong, Yang Liyu, Yan Dinghao, Guangzhou players occupy half of the country, from the age and position point of view, it is obvious to be ready for the national team to take over.
At present, most of the positions of the national football team have to be replaced, in addition to the age and the decline in status, there are also attitude problems, and no adjustment will only make the results worse and worse. Previously, many domestic media believed that the national football team should be updated quickly, and most of the post-80s players could withdraw from the national team, such as Yu Dabao, Arthur Junmin, Zhang Linpeng, Wang Shenchao, Wu Xi, etc.
First of all, the goalkeeper position, Yan Junling is after 90, the age is in the year of the fight, because the state has dropped significantly, Wang Dalei can replace for a period of time, and the biggest hit of the future no. 1 goalkeeper is Han Jiaqi.
In terms of defenders, veterans such as Zhang Linpeng, Wang Shenchao, and Yu Dabao can actually quit, so that Deng Hanwen, Zhu Chenjie, Gao Zhuanyi, Jiang Guangtai and other veterans are in the year of playing. In the midfield position, Wu Xi, Zhang Xizhe, and Arthur Junmin are older, and it is indeed time to give way, Dai Weijun and Yan Dinghao, two young players, have the potential to replace, plus Xu Xin and Li Ke, the midfield will not become weaker.
In the final front, Wu Lei, who has no ball to play in Espanyol, is obviously in a continuous decline, coupled with the lack of personal ability, it is really necessary to let go, Wei Shihao is the best candidate to replace, the ability to break through with the ball and the ability to shoot in front of the goal are stronger than Wu Lei, and Guo Tianyu and Zhang Yuning are currently excellent centers in The local area can also be reused.
With the termination of the contract with Guangzhou, 4 Brazilian naturalized players such as Luo Guofu, Axon, Alain and Fernando should not be counted on, and the Football Association will not support the naturalization of no blood.
