Recently, the future of Chinese football has once again become the focus of people's attention. Not only because the new season of the Chinese Super League has not been held on time with the passage of time, but also because of the future of the Chinese national team, which is really worrying. After missing out on the World Cup once again, the Chinese men's national football team faced a series of difficult problems. For example, where to go from naturalized players, coaching issues, player replacement, etc. Despite all the problems, the actual situation does not have any solutions from the relevant departments. Especially in the face of the Asian Cup held locally in 2023, the national football team, which is not strong and old, is full of pressure and difficulties.
Among the many problems, it seems that the best solution is undoubtedly the appointment of the national football coach. After Li Xiaopeng became the firefighting coach, the performance of the national football team was obvious to all, in a word: failed. Whether it is defeating Vietnam or losing the battle of dignity, the national football team under Li Xiaopeng still does not let people see the temperament of "preferring to stand and die, never live on their knees"! However, after the dismissal of Li Xiaopeng, how the national football team should select the coach, which coaches should be selected, and what principles should be upheld are all problems that the national football team will face. What's more, the selection of the national football coach will determine the future of the new international football team, as well as the final results of the Asian Cup, and the actual situation may be much more complicated.
The second problem facing the national football team is the replacement of players. In the big roster in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, such as 33-year-old Wu Xi, Wang Shenchao, Yu Dabao, and 32-year-old Zhang Linpeng, they will basically fade out of the national team and leave the stage for newcomers. Once these people leave, for the national football team, who will take their place is a key. It is worth mentioning that this is only looking at the situation of the Asian Cup, if you focus on the next World Cup, the national football team will leave more active internationals! Although Dai Weijun, Xu Xin, Zhu Chenjie and others have performed well, the national football team needs more fresh blood with strength if it wants to win face in the local Asian Cup.
In fact, the main force of the 2023 Asian Cup should have been the current U23 national football team, but the current stage of the national football U23 is obviously not enough to take on the big responsibility! In the previously concluded Dubai Cup, although the young men of U23 played a spiritual head, there was still a huge gap in technology and strength. Even against Thailand's U23, the team is passable. Under such circumstances, it is not easy for the national football team to promote new people! In the case of the difficulty of upgrading and selecting materials for the national football team, the problem of naturalized players has become a huge mystery. After all, from the course of the round of 12, the performance of naturalization is still obvious to all. Even if you can't participate in the next qualifier, you still have a chance at next year's Asian Cup.
Just recently, the naturalized player Axon, who has played the most, said that he hopes to continue to represent the national football team in the Asian Cup, and expressed his desire to win the championship! In addition to Axon, Luo Guofu, Alain and others are also expected to continue to play in next year's Asian Cup. It can be said that among the many problems facing the national football team at present, the easiest to solve is the naturalized player, and the most difficult to solve is the problem of the head coach. Naturalization is not required if it is not needed, but if the head coach is not, it affects the whole team and the future! Whether or not to continue to stay in Li Xiaopeng, in the eyes of the editor, can be abandoned. At this stage, the foreign marshal may be able to make the national football team stop loss a wave. The reason is very simple, if the national football player is compared to the ingredients, the head coach is compared to the chef, then in the case of the ingredients are bad, not outstanding, want the final finished product is not too ugly, the chef's skill is the most critical!
