After about half a month of intensive training, the national football team will finally embark on the journey of the last two games of the World Preliminary Round of 12, although these two games are no longer important for the results of qualifying, but it will still receive a lot of fan attention, even the attention of people outside the circle, after all, after the war of words between Feng Xiaoting and Gong Hanlin, the national football game is no longer a matter of football. Compared with the past, this time there will definitely be a lot of melon-eating masses who want to see the national football team. However, as many media say, since the national football team has played football into a paragraph, don't be afraid of others to talk about your paragraph.
The national football team has announced the final 25-man squad, including 24 internationals who have trained in China and Li Lei who stayed in the west, and Brazilian naturalized players such as Wu Lei and Axon have not been selected for the list. Although it is regrettable that it is not the strongest lineup, Wu Lei's defeat is out of protection for him, and the defeat of the Axons is also because they do not want to participate in the physical examination, so it is understandable that Li Xiaopeng's final decision is understood. It's just that for Wu Lei, who is already 30 years old, this may be his last World Cup match, and the international competition is only next year's Asian Cup, and the naturalized players are saying goodbye to us completely.
Compared with the defeat of Wu Lei, Axon and others, the greater controversy is that this list as a whole carries as many as 11 defenders, but the corresponding forwards are only Zhang Yuning, Tan Long and Liu Binbin, and Liu Binbin is not yet a positive forward. This top-heavy list of personnel has been greatly questioned, and Wei Shihao, Yan Dinghao and other players with excellent skills and relatively low age have not been selected, and the average age of the 25 final list is close to 29 years old, and the number of players under 30 is not even half.
In fact, "top-heavy" mainly reflects Li Xiaopeng's idea of focusing on defense to avoid collapse, even if the offensive firepower is weak or even if he does not score goals, he does not want to play a big score. However, even if it is a small score loss, I think the fans will not be satisfied, the game has not even begun to think about losing, and afraid of crashing with 11 defenders, so it really should not be the national team to do. In particular, our second game is against Oman, which is evenly matched, and we cannot have the mentality of inferiority to them.
In fact, the fans' demands are very simple, they can lose, and even accept big scores to lose, but players must work the field and show blood. If you try your best and still have no good results, it is that the skills are not as good as people, we fans are also convinced, if the players walk on the field, not every ball must be fought, and it is unacceptable for the fans to lift their spirits. So in the eyes of fans, in the case of early exit, a player's mental attributes are more important than strength, take Luo Guofu for example, if our 11 players on the field are all as hard as Luo Guofu, even if we lose, we have nothing to complain about.
Li Xiaopeng's explanation for the failure of players such as Wei Shihao and Yan Dinghao is because he requires that the last two games must be tough and aggressive, while young players such as Wei Shihao and Yan Dinghao are "not hard", and technical players have a soft style of play so they do not bring it. It seems that Li Xiaopeng also believes that the national football team should fight hard, and see if the time can really be as we wish, let us see the change in spiritual attributes.
