On February 22, the national football team announced the training list of the World Preliminary Round of 12, and 39 athletes, including 4 naturalized players, were selected for this training list. However, as soon as the list was published, it immediately caused a lot of doubts and controversies...
The big list shows that the head coach is still Li Xiaopeng, and the team's coaching team has not changed much except for Sun Jihai. In terms of players, except for the newcomers who were drawn from various clubs in early February, the others were basically the same as the original team that played vietnam before. Four naturalized players, including Axon, Lo Guofu, Fernando and Alain, have once again been selected for the training squad.
As we all know, for the Chinese team, the World Preliminary Round of 12 in late March actually has no meaning. Since losing to Vietnam on the first day of the Chinese New Year, the Chinese team has missed the World Cup early. The so-called Round of 12 is just a form of competition according to the schedule. According to everyone's previous judgment, in the two matches of the round of 12, the Chinese men's football team will definitely send new people and thoroughly train young players.
However, the release of the training list was greatly unexpected. In this new training list with a lot of battles, almost all of the veteran players who lost face in the Battle of Vietnam appeared in this list, and at the same time, 4 naturalized players were all pulled into this big list, which seemed to be going to participate in the World Cup.
It is worth mentioning that this training list has also caused great controversy. Netizens have expressed their views on the list. "Alas! Forget it! "Should we use young players to prepare for the Asian Cup, and still use these old people?!" I don't understand why the national football team can't seek change and innovation? Is it so hard to replace the old and the new? It's time to reuse the young players! Who to use in 2026? "The head coach is not out of class yet?" "Why are you still recruited by people over 30 years old, is it not good to have two exercises left?" ”......
Two innocuous games, so exciting, do not know the national football coach Li Xiaopeng, this time in the gourd is selling what medicine?
