As we all know, during this year's New Year, our national football team experienced a humiliating battle, they lost 1-3 away to Vietnam, not only lost to their opponents for the first time in history, but also completely lost the possibility of qualifying for the World Cup. After this game, the national football team was once again pushed to the cusp of public opinion, and all kinds of insults and doubts continued, as if the national football players were breathing wrong. But in fact, many fans know that the loss of the national football team to Vietnam is actually a matter of time. Because over the years we can see the difference in the development of football in the two countries, Vietnamese football in respect of the laws of football, rapid development, and our Chinese football lies in the dream woven by the golden dollar, for a long time do not want to wake up, so that it began to be eliminated by the world's mainstream football. Therefore, the failure of Chinese football is in the final analysis that it originally wanted to take a shortcut, but in the end the road was wrong or deviated, and then it was overtaken by the people behind it one by one.
So what is in front of Chinese football now is the adjustment of the development route, so that our football can return to the right track, so that our football can develop healthily and sustainably. For the current national team, it is not broken, it is necessary to give more young people the opportunity, and to have more fresh blood to find the vitality and vitality of the team. Because the previous national football team was an elderly team, the average age was close to 30 years old, and even the average age of the starter could exceed 30 years old. Can you imagine such a team being able to keep up with the pace of modern football? Can you play a fast-paced and high-confrontation game?
In fact, this time the national football team changed coaches to invite Li Xiaopeng, and in the case of Li Xiaopeng's poor leadership of the team lost to Vietnam, there was no class, a very important reason is to hope that he can help the national football team change blood and complete the heavy responsibility of rejuvenation. For example, after Li Xiaopeng took office, there were as many as 52 people in the first period of the list, and among the 52 people, in addition to the main force of Li Tie's leadership period, most of the other young players were young players who performed well in the league. After losing to Vietnam, the 10-man roster of the national football team is also young players. The 39-man roster in the new phase of the national football team is nearly half of the number of young players, and it can be said that the rejuvenation of the national football team is already the trend of the times.
And what we can hope for is that in many key positions, our newcomers are also catching up. For example, in the most important goalkeeper position, our national football team has always maintained the first-class level in Asia, like Yan Junling, Wang Dalei and even Zeng Cheng before, and it is basically the best choice for other Asian national teams. But we will also find problems when we taste carefully, that is, our goalkeeper position has also begun to age, Yan Junling is 31 years old, Wang Dalei is 33 years old, and the three doors Liu Dianzuo is also 30 years old and soon 31 years old. Although goalkeepers have a longer professional lifespan than players in other positions, it is inevitable that the level of goalkeeper positions will decline without the rise of a new generation.
And this time in the position of goalkeeper, there is a vigorous young player selected, and he is selected for the training list of the national football team for 3 consecutive times, which can be seen that he is highly valued by the national brand. He is the 22-year-old Xiaomen Han Jiaqi, who currently plays for Guangzhou City. As we all know, Guangzhou City is an offensive team, and their goals scored every season can even compete with the top four in the Chinese Super League. But their defense is terrible, and the number of goals he concedes every year is comparable to that of relegated teams. So defensive problems have always been a headache for Guangzhou City. And after the league salary limit, Guangzhou City's main scorer Zahavi left, the team's goals dropped sharply, and the team once had a relegation crisis. At this time, the team boldly used the young young player Han Jiaqi, and Han Jiaqi's wonderful performance made the team's backline stabilize a lot.
Although Han Jiaqi is young, his performance is very stable, his reaction speed is fast, his ability to handle high balls is also good, he has the ability to strike in time, and he has a certain ability to play under his feet. It can be said that it is a goalkeeper with no obvious shortcomings. And the most important thing is that Han Jiaqi also has the attributes of Wang Dalei, that is, there will often be a mental bonus, in some key games or when encountering strong opponents, he can always play beyond the ordinary, high and low blocks at the same time can also efficiently save points. However, at present, Han Jiaqi's shortcoming is that he has little experience in the competition, has not played in the AFC Champions League, and has not yet played in the national team.
This time Han Jiaqi was selected again, which also proves that the national team attaches great importance to him, and we also believe that the national team will definitely give him the opportunity to grow in the future. Do you think Han Jiaqi can be selected for the last two games of the round of 12? Do you think it's possible for him to play for the national football team? Are you optimistic about Han Jiaqi's future prospects in the national team? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
