At 24:00 beijing time on the night of March 29, the match between the national football team and Oman was about to start, and at the pre-match press conference, The Coach of the Chinese team Li Xiaopeng was interviewed by the media reporter, in which he talked about how this game is likely to be the last battle in the World Preliminary Round for some veterans in the team, hoping to defeat Oman to get 3 points and bid farewell to these veterans.
Li Xiaopeng said: "The match with Oman, for many veteran players, this may be their last chance to participate in the World Cup qualifiers. I hope they can cherish it, and everyone should cherish this game and leave no regrets. ”
Li Xiaopeng's words are very clear, the match against Oman, may be the last world preliminary journey of some veterans, considering the need for national team replacement, it is likely to be the last national team game for these veterans, the 2023 Asian Cup, it is likely that they will not be needed.
Li Xiaopeng did not say which veterans, but as far as the current national football team is concerned, there are basically answers, 35-year-old Arthur Junmin, 33-year-old Wu Xi, Yu Dabao, Wang Dalei, Wang Shenchao, 32-year-old Ji Xiang, Zhang Linpeng, Zheng Zheng, and even 31-year-old Zhang Xizhe and Yan Junling, may also have to say goodbye to the national team.
Among the above 10 people, Yu Dabao walked and attacked in the game against Saudi Arabia, becoming the object of complaint from media fans, Yan Junling as a goalkeeper, conceded goals in every round of 12 matches, Arthur Junmin really can't keep up with the rhythm of the game, and Wu Xi is also controversial. Wang Dalei has always been the second goalkeeper in the national team, and even if he does not leave the national team in the future, it is difficult to have a chance to play.
In 2023, the Chinese team will usher in the Asian Cup this key event, the home battle goal is to enter the final four, if you still rely on the existing veterans, I am afraid that it is difficult to have hope, a thorough rejuvenation reconstruction is a must-carry out work, we also look forward to the renewal of the Chinese men's football team is not shouting slogans, but really implemented, because there are some veterans, really do not deserve to wear the national team shirt.
