Reporter Chen Yong reported on the round of 12, China against Saudi Arabia, 1-1, the result is acceptable, the attitude is no problem, the technical and tactical performance is worrying, but the highlight is not nothing, the youngest international player in the team, 22-year-old Zhu Chenjie not only performed steadily on the defensive end, when the national football team won the penalty, he bravely stood on the penalty spot and scored the ball, which is the first goal of the post-00 player in the national team.
In the future, the main age group of the national team is the 93, 95 and 97 generation, but the proportion of players in the 99 generation and after 00 will gradually increase, the performance of young players is worth paying attention to, Zhu Chenjie is gratifying, but on a broader level, the growth of the post-00 generation of players will encounter many problems.
In the battle between China and Saudi Arabia, the overall performance of the players after the 97 age group of the national football team, Zhang Yuning needless to say, he is the absolute fulcrum of the national football team, and very hard, in this game, he once scored a goal, unfortunately before the goal was offside half a position, the goal was ruled invalid, but that cooperation, that kind of awareness, really let people feel hope.
Gao Tianyi, who is in the 98 age group, also has a good performance after playing, in the 99 age group, Dai Weijun has a good ability to take the ball, although the cooperation with his teammates is not tacit, but the ability has been generally recognized, Zhu Chenjie, a player born in 2000, is in place of defense and also scored a penalty.
Young people are working hard, the hope of Chinese football, as the reporter said in the previous day's article, they may not be able to save the national football team, but If Chinese football wants to get out of the trough, it needs the efforts of every individual, especially young people.
At the same time as the national football team plays in the round of 12, the U23 national team is participating in the Dubai Cup in Dubai. In the first match on the 23rd, facing the UAE U23 team, the Chinese U23 team lost 0-1, and in the game, the U23 national football team exposed the problem of insufficient technical and tactical level.
In the game, the U23 national team members worked hard, and in addition to the technical and tactical reasons, there was another key to the final loss, that is, the players of the U23 national team did not participate in international competitions for 2 and a half years, and at the same time gave up the U23 Asian Cup due to the epidemic, the Dubai Cup is one of the few opportunities for them to play with other teams in the same age group. Lack of experience in international competitions has left them with insufficient speed and ability to adapt to the characteristics of the opponent's playing style and make on-the-spot adjustments.
What is the level of this group of U23 players in Asia?
On the 26th, the U23 national football team will play against the Thailand U23 national football team, on the 29th, the U23 national football team will also participate in the qualifying match of the Dubai Cup, the opponent is to be determined, the high probability is the middle and lower reaches of the 10 teams participating in this competition, through the performance of these two games, I believe it can help the outside world, help the coaching staff of the U23 national football team and the players themselves to see which position this team is in in Asia.
Zhu Chenjie is a U23 age-appropriate player, the U23 national football team and Guo Tianyu, Wu Shaocong, Jiang Shenglong, Han Jiaqi and other players with certain characteristics and abilities, they have also been given many league and FA Cup appearances in their respective clubs, growing up faster. However, many players after 00 or 00 will have their own problems, mainly due to factors such as insufficient competition that restricts their development. Therefore, it is foreseeable that in the future, it will be difficult for the national team to quickly return to the upward channel, and the most realistic approach is to give young players more opportunities and let the national team's combat effectiveness slowly improve.
In the next few years, the main framework of the national team will be 93, 95 and 97 players, and the 99 and 00 generations will gradually become an important part. In 10 years, the main component of the national team will be players in the 01 to 07 age group.
At this time, we have to say a very cruel reality: from 2020 to now, nearly 2 years, the youth competition of Chinese football is basically stagnant, last year the Football Association organized some matches, but each age group also has 3 to 5 games.
There have been no systematic games for two and a half years, and the blow to these players is very, very serious, so that the 01 generation misses the 19- and 20-year-old games, the 03 generation misses the 17-year-old and 18-year-old games, and the 05 and 07 generations miss the 15-year-old and 16-year-old games and the 13-14-year-old games respectively. In the most rapid stage of the development of young players' body and consciousness, there is no enough game, what impact will it have on their growth, I believe there is no need for reporters to say more.
Chinese football youth tournaments are currently being reformed, and the new Chinese Youth Football League is about to be introduced, which is a new type of competition with individual and educational integration, which will theoretically bring great help to the development of Chinese youth football, but at the beginning of the event, I am afraid that it will still need some time to run in and cultivate.
We expect that the managers of Chinese football, including the organizers of youth events, the Ministry of Education, the State General Administration of Sport and the Chinese Football Association, can work together to improve the development of youth football and the level of youth football events, and then hope that more players can train, play and grow better like Zhu Chenjie. Although the light of individuals is weak, more individuals are shining, which can illuminate Chinese football.
