At 0:00 Beijing time on March 30, the final battle of the twelve finals will be played, and the opponent of the final battle of the national football team is Oman. Both teams have missed the World Cup, and the outcome of this match will not affect the final ranking of both teams. The national football team accumulated 6 points, Oman accumulated 11 points, even if the national football team won, it could not surpass Oman to the fourth position in the group. Similarly, it doesn't hurt for the national football team to lose, and Vietnam has determined that the group is at the bottom.
At 18:00 on March 28, Li Xiaopeng, the head coach of the national football team, attended the pre-match press conference of the game, revealing many substantive contents, and talking about the "long-term plan" of the national football team.
First of all, the national football team will not take the initiative to give up this game, and Li Xiaopeng hopes that the players will go all out to play this game. Secondly, the national football team has at least 2 positions in this game. Finally, when asked why the national football team did not qualify for the World Cup, Li Xiaopeng said bluntly: the strength is not enough.
These are all topics that Li Xiaopeng has not talked about in previous pre-match press conferences, and they also show the views of the national football team on this game and this year's top twelve. However, compared with these superficial remarks, Li Xiaopeng's unspoken meaning is more worthy of deep consideration by fans. Taking veteran players like Yu Dabao as an example, Li Xiaopeng said very directly: This is the last round of twelve games for many veteran players, and I hope they can cherish it.
That is to say, many veteran players in the current lineup of the national football team will be abandoned after the end of this round of twelve. Players like Yu Dabao, Zhang Xizhe, Wu Xi, Arthur Junmin, Wang Shenchao, Zheng Zheng and other players have reached the age when they should quit. Counting carefully, in this year's top twelve matches, there are many old players whose state has declined seriously, such as Wang Shenchao's "eye defense", Yu Dabao's "protective reception", and Wu Xi's "dodging the ball", which are actually caused by the decline in status.
Li Xiaopeng's simple 9 words: I hope that the veteran players will cherish it! As soon as this statement came out, it was known that in next year's Asian Cup, many of the old players in this national team lineup would be gradually abandoned by Li Xiaopeng. At the same time, the young players led by Jankovic of the national Olympic team are very likely to be added to the national football team. Even, the Football Association felt that Jankovic's coaching ability was very strong, and directly let him take over Li Xiaopeng's position after the end of the twelve finals.
Of course, the replacement may not necessarily solve the problem of the national football team, but it will certainly change the spiritual outlook of the national football team. Take the national Olympic team coached by Jankovic, for example, in this Dubai Cup, it showed the fans a strong fighting force. No matter what kind of opponent you face, you dare to use your tireless running to create opportunities, rather than following up slowly and slowly like the veteran team members led by Yu Dabao, choosing protective response.
