Stayed up late for 2 consecutive days to pay attention to the Chinese men's football team, and fell asleep comfortably for 2 nights. Although the U23 national football team and the national football team technology are lagging behind 2 opponents, the 2 national football teams have shown the momentum of "rather being kicked to death than being scared to death" on the court. From the opening to the end, they all worked hard and showed the spirit that football should have.
Through these 2 games, we can see that the mental outlook of young players is indeed better than that of old players. Some old players, even if they have arrived, are really physically difficult to support. Even, some players have become accustomed to walking and have no awareness of the forward attack. From this point alone, I personally feel that Li Xiaopeng's guidance must continue and implement the practice of "removing the old and saving the youth" at a deeper level.
However, as some journalists and media have said, changing too quickly will affect the unity of the team. Therefore, Li Xiaopeng's guidance can also be regarded as a heavy task and a long way to go. Hopefully, in the next time, we can phase out internationals over the age of 30 and let more young players come into position. In doing so, it will not only further enhance the "spirit" of the national football team and enhance the spiritual outlook of the team. Moreover, it is also good for the future of national football. After all, players over the age of 30 have little chance of playing in the next World Preliminary Tournament.
If, it can be completed within one year. In next year's local Asian Cup, the national football team is still worth looking forward to. At that time, Guo Tianyu, Yan Dinghao, Wei Shihao, Han Jiaqi, Wu Shaocong, etc., these young players are worthy of being reused. Before the national football team and Saudi Arabia kicked, a reporter revealed that these players were eliminated from the 25-man roster of the national football team, mainly because of their thin bodies and lack of toughness. However, through the 2 games of the U23 national football team and the national football team, we will find that toughness is sometimes not equal to physical condition.
Yesterday, Yu Dabao's performance was criticized by fans, and even appeared on the hot search list. Logically, Yu Dabao's body is definitely strong enough, but he does not run, with his eyes forward, and his teammates lose the ball with their hands. To put it bluntly, you have a bull-like physique, and you can't reflect toughness without fighting. On the contrary, players like Liao Lisheng are soft, and players like Dai Weijun, who are not prominent, have performed very well. Because, they have the fighting spirit of young people.
Therefore, I personally believe that if you want to see the improvement of the national football team in recent years. It is still necessary to reuse young players and gradually complete the "old and save young". In that case, in the 2023 local Asian Cup, the national football team is still worth looking forward to. Finally, I still have to give a thumbs up to the national football team! Although there is a gap in our technical level, we played a spirit last night, which deserves praise and encouragement.
