In order to prepare for the World Preliminary Round of 12 matches, the Chinese national football team is conducting training in Haikou. However, in recent days, the national football team has come out with a regrettable news: right-back Deng Hanwen has decided not to participate in this training, which basically means that he will not accompany the team to the last two games of the round of 12. Considering the current composition of the national football team, this is undoubtedly a huge loss.
Deng Hanwen was selected for the national football training list, after news that he was training with former Guangzhou Evergrande teammates Gao Zhunyi, Liu Dianzuo and others in the three towns of Wuhan. However, Liu Dianzuo and Gao Zhunyi have recently reported to the national team, and only Deng Hanwen has not arrived. It is understood that Deng Hanwen is on leave from the national football coaching team because of an affair at home, and has been approved not to participate in Haikou training.
This means that Deng Hanwen has been excluded from the official list of the national football team to play in the round of 12. Last season, Deng Hanwen played a good performance in Guangzhou, scoring 2 goals in 19 appearances this season, playing steadily in the right-back position, and playing 12 times, which is also a rare use since he joined Guangzhou. Therefore, Li Xiaopeng chose to promote him to the national team, not without reason.
With the withdrawal of Deng Hanwen, the only available personnel in the right-back position of the national football team at present are Zhang Linpeng, Ji Xiang and Tong Lei. Among them, Zhang Linpeng also has to be distracted to take care of the responsibilities of the central defender, Ji Xiang performed average during last year's Top 40 tournament, and Tong Lei was a complete "recruit". Under such circumstances, Deng Hanwen, who was once appreciated by Lippi, should have become an important and effective force in the right-back position of the national football team, whether in age or ability, but now, Li Xiaopeng is facing the problem of being stretched in this position.
In fact, the national football full-back has been a short board in recent years, and the original main candidates Wang Gang and Tang Miao have not been selected for the big list this time. It is foreseeable that against Saudi Arabia and Oman, whether Li Xiaopeng uses the five-back or four-back tactic, the right side will be a problem.
