In order to prepare for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese U23 national team (national Olympic team) decided to participate in the "Dubai Cup" to train the team. However, judging from the big list of training teams released by the team, this team is not strong. Only a few players are the main and regular substitute players of the Chinese Super League teams, and most of them are players of the Chinese First Division. It is worth mentioning that Dalian, who has just been relegated from the Chinese Super League, has even 5 players selected for this big list.
The first impression this big list gives fans is that the manager is messing up! Or that domestic players of the same age have been discontinued. In fact, in the Chinese Super League in recent seasons, there have been some young players with good ability. Players like Dai Weijun, Zhu Chenjie, Guo Tianyu, Wu Shaocong, Jiang Shenglong, Han Jiaqi, Yan Dinghao, Duan Liuyu and other players are all capable of being selected, and this time they were not selected.
But then again, these players are currently being drafted by the national team for training in the next World Cup qualifiers for the Asian Round of 12 (already eliminated and missed the World Cup). In the case that the national football team has been eliminated, take these young people to participate in the top twelve, if Li Xiaopeng let these young people play, it is training players; if he continues to let veterans such as Yu Dabao, Zhang Linpeng, and Wang Shenchao play the starting lineup and do not give young people a chance to play, it is destroying the players.
In addition, among the players who were not selected for the national football training list, there were also players of the national Olympic team who were in good shape last season, but this time they were not seen to be selected, which is really incomprehensible. Liang Shaowen (19) of Guoan, Abraham of the seaport (20), Ling Jie of Guangzhou (19), Tan Kaiyuan (21), Liu Ruovan of Shanghai Shenhua (23), and Abudu Haimiti (23) of Cangzhou Lions. These players who can play the main force in the Chinese Super League are not used, but to recruit some Chinese First Division players.
In the Dubai Cup, the opponents of the National Olympic Games are not weak, and there are teams such as Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Croatia. The 8 teams are divided into two groups, and the national Olympic team has a chance to meet Vietnam again. The Vietnamese olympic team is not weak, and in the recent Southeast Asian U23 Championship, Vietnam defeated thailand to win the championship.
According to the level of the opponent, the parameters of the national Olympic team may be at the bottom of the group. In the past year or so, there have been no matches in the Olympic Games, the state of the players' matches has become doubtful, and the tactical level of the head coach is unknown. If only from the perspective of this selection, the level of the head coach of the national Olympic team, Jankovic, does not dare to agree, at least the players he selected intentionally or unintentionally eliminated some players who performed well in the Chinese Super League.
In fact, at this time, to participate in a large-scale event such as the Dubai Cup is a good opportunity for the National Olympic Games. If in this event, the national Olympic Team can achieve good results, it can help the national football team save a little face, but also let the fans see some hope. However, from the current situation of the Olympic Games, the parameters may only be a round of group stage travel, or even the bottom of the group.
