The national football team is training in Haikou to prepare for the next two round-12 matches against Saudi Arabia and Oman. Due to the previous national football team's loss to Vietnam, it is now completely out of the game and has not qualified for the Qatar World Cup. The 1-3 loss to Vietnam simply ripped off the last fig leaf of the national football team, and the newly appointed coach Li Xiaopeng was also very dissatisfied.
In the post-match press conference of the match against Vietnam, Li Xiaopeng took the initiative to take all the responsibility. He took the reasons for the loss and thought it was a problem with his tactical arrangement. However, fans who really watched the game can see that the main reason for the fiasco of the national football team is that the players' attitude towards the game on the pitch is too negative.
In order to meet the next two games, Li Xiaopeng also made full preparations and wanted to win the face he had lost before through these two games. Therefore, the national football team began to prepare for the training early, more than ten days more than the opponent. Moreover, in this collective training and preparation, Li Xiaopeng greatly increased the training intensity of the national football team, and every day was high-intensity training.
Just today, the Oriental Sports Daily commented on the training of the national football team, exposing that some national football players are tired after finishing training.
It is reported that some players said bluntly in an interview: There are two things that were not expected in this training camp, the first is that it did not expect that Haikou would be so hot now, especially during the day, it is almost 30 degrees Celsius, and it will sweat when you move a little; the second is that you did not expect that head coach Li Xiaopeng would show a "devil's face".
In fact, in the case of two honor battles in the national football team, Li Xiaopeng's training will definitely increase the intensity, and even maintain high intensity. However, from the current situation, Li Xiaopeng's training intensity this time is greater than that of former head coach Li Tie, and the players have exposed that they are too tired after the end of training, and they don't even want to say anything.
Previously, it was reported that the national football team may train in the next two games. Now it seems that Li Xiaopeng does not intend to end this year's top 12 competition by means of military training. According to a person in the national football industry, the only goal of the national football team is to "not collapse again", rather than to train young players through games. The reason is also very simple, the old players are more able to resist the pressure than the young people, and they are more able to play these two key games.
Compared with other opponents in the top twelve, the replacement of the old and new in the national football team is not good enough, at least in Group B, the national football team is not as good as Vietnam and Oman. For example, the Vietnamese team, although this team is currently in the bottom position of Group B, the average age of the Vietnamese team is not high enough to cope with next year's Asian Cup in China. On the other hand, the average age of the national football team is close to 30 years old, and it is difficult for the veteran players of the Asian Cup next year to pick the beams.
Combined with the negative remarks of some national football players saying that the training is too tired and sweating when they move, it can be seen that the overall atmosphere of the national football team is very bad. Old players have no passion, young players can not get more opportunities to play, the national football team has become a "dead cycle" mode. Instead of letting the veterans bear the risk of losing the game, it is better to let the young people complete the replacement of the old and new in the national football team as soon as possible.
