Recently, 34-year-old international striker Yang Xu admitted in an interview that the players of the national team did not dare to take risks because of the pressure of public opinion, and played anglobal in order not to take responsibility.
The 34-year-old Yang Xu can be said to be the "abusive type forward" of the national football team, scoring 28 goals in 53 appearances in the national team, and is still the top scorer in the national football team. Yang Xu scored seven goals in two matches against Bhutan and staged a senior year in a 7-0 win over Guam. In these three games alone, he scored 11 goals.
In the 2018 World Preliminary Round of 40, Yang Xu was kept a clean sheet against a "provincial team" like Hong Kong, China, in two legs, and the national football team was scolded miserably. At that time, Yang Xu also scolded the fans: "Don't eat instant noodles and wear a big slipper in front of the keyboard blind BB." ”
After losing 2-1 to Syria in the Round of 40 in November 2019, Yang Xu has not been called up. Of course, Yang Xu's performance in Shanghai Shenhua in these two seasons is indeed not worthy of entering the national team, because he has scored 0 goals in the Chinese Super League in these two seasons.
Some time ago, because of the "Feng Gong dispute", Yang Xu supported Feng Xiaoting, and now he talked about the topic of national football again, although he admitted that the players were afraid of taking responsibility, but more like making excuses for the national football team to play badly.
Yang Xu said: "There are too many voices in the outside world now, and bad things spread particularly quickly. A lot of things will affect some of the normal play of the players, I think this pressure will give people a big impact, because the players have a lot of baggage, so they don't dare to take risks, don't dare to try, this is for safety, in order to make themselves not responsible and become cautious. ”
In fact, after the end of the round of 12, Li Xiaopeng also criticized the international footballer for not being brave enough in an interview with CCTV: "If 10 points is more brave, 1 point is more secure, our players will choose the insurance score." ”
Where is the lack of bravery of the international team? In the case that the national football team was already out, it only completed 2 shots in the whole game against Saudi Arabia, of which 1 shot came from a penalty. For example, in one of the shots of the competition, Dai Weijun 1 person singled out the other 4 people, dared to take risks, dared to make bold moves, what about the result? As a striker who replaced Zhang Yuning, Yu Dabao did not even have the courage to rush up and participate in the attack.
When facing Saudi Arabia, there is another shot that also makes fans feel desperate, that is, it is rare to push the attack near the opponent's penalty area, and as a result, Zhang Linpeng and Zhu Chenjie passed back with two feet and handed the ball back to goalkeeper Yan Junling.
