Not long ago, the national football team announced the big list to participate in the round of 12. Although the list of 39 players is a little less than the previous 50 people, it is still a huge personnel composition when considered.
Compared to before, there is basically no change. However, there are also several accidents, such as Wu Lei, who has been the main striker of the team before, and was accidentally abandoned. The top 5 naturalized players who performed poorly and had passive and sluggish play were all selected. The coaching team is still huge, in addition to Sun Xiang, like Gao Yao, Li Leilei, Zheng Zhi, Sun Jihai and so on continue to stay in the team.
Since the first day of the Chinese New Year, the national football team defeated Vietnam, not only completely lost the opportunity to qualify, but also made the fans very sad. But the days have to pass, look up and continue to look forward, the game that should be played can still not be missed, the top 12 and the last two games, how to position the process of this game, has become the focus of everyone's attention.
The first opponent is saudi Arabia, who is ranked first in the group. Saudi Arabia is currently at the top of the table with 19 points, while the Japanese team behind them is only in second place with a one-point difference, and the third place is Australia (15 points). In this game, the national football team will most likely lose, first of all, Saudi Arabia occupies an absolute advantage in strength, and as long as Saudi Arabia can win this game, then Saudi Arabia will lock in a qualifying seat in advance, while avoiding the final round and Australia to start a life-and-death contest.
Therefore, in this game, what lineup Li Xiaopeng will send, what mentality the players will use to deal with saudi arabia's fierce attack, will test the national football team.
The second opponent is Oman, who, like the national football team, has lost hope of qualifying. However, this game will be played at the home of Oman, and the strength of the opponent is not weak, and it is not easy for the national football team to win a victory on the road.
But this is another excellent opportunity for Li Xiaopeng to get points. After all, after Li Xiaopeng took office, he has not yet scored points, and facing this opponent of equal strength, even a draw is acceptable. If the national enough to end the round of 12 with 4 consecutive defeats, then Li Xiaopeng's future in the national football team may not be so stable.
On the other hand, let's look at the lineup of the national football team, Wu Lei did not appear in the big list, which is very surprising. Although Wu Lei has rarely had the opportunity to play in Espanyol, after all, he has always trained with the team and has no problems with his own state. This point is definitely much stronger than the naturalized players, without the restraint of Wu Lei's front field, but in the counterattack and attack, the national football team will appear more passive.
According to Li Xiaopeng's previous statement, the last two games will focus on training young people, so that they can contact more international competitions and assume more responsibilities. In this list, people like Duan Liu Yu, Zhu Chenjie, Tong Lei, Wu Shaocong, and Jiang Shenglong will have more opportunities to play. However, when it comes to young players, the front line has performed well, and Guo Tianyu, who is currently staying in the ocean, has not appeared, which has also caused a lot of controversy!
How to let them let go of the burden in their hearts and meet the challenges on the field with a relaxed and peaceful attitude is one of the priorities of Li Xiaopeng and the coaching team. In fact, they are young players, in fact, they are no longer young, basically in the age group of 23 and 24, if placed in Europe, this is already the absolute main force of the team. It can only be said that we, the so-called young players, get too few opportunities to exercise, whether in the club or the national team.
The national football team is likely to end with 2 consecutive defeats, coupled with the previous 2 defeats, the result of 4 consecutive defeats should not surprise everyone. Although the national football team is still so indisputable, it will always silently support fans who care about Chinese football. We often say, don't care about the result, the key is how your process is treated, if your process is hard enough, even if it is the end of 4 consecutive defeats, everyone will not blame too much. What is difficult to accept is that there is no result, and the process is still a mess and useless.
