As mentioned earlier, U23 national football (hereinafter referred to as the national Olympic) head coach Jankovic refused to use overage players, and star players such as Wu Lei and Axon did not qualify for the Asian Games. Who knew that after only a few days, things turned around, and under the "strong demand" of the Football Association, Jankovic could only compromise, and finally 3 national footballers joined the national Olympic Games.
I believe that many people know who these 3 players are, namely Wu Xi and Zhang Linpeng, the captains of the first and second courts of the national football team, and Zhang Yuning, the forward thigh player of the national football team in the next ten years. It is reported that these 3 players have joined the national Olympic team.
Why Zhang Yuning, Wu Xi and Zhang Linpeng, instead of Wu Lei and Ikeson? In fact, this question is very easy to answer, because Zhang Yuning, Wu Xi and Zhang Linpeng just formed a central axis, which is the forward, midfielder and defender.
According to reporter Ma Dexing, in the past 3 Asian Games, the National Olympic Games have not sent 1 overage player, so they have all been blocked from the top 8 (to be honest, this reason is a bit far-fetched). Of course, the level of over-aged players for the national Olympic Games must have improved, but this is only theoretical, and the effect must be observed in actual combat.
Here is my personal prediction of the main lineup of the national Olympic team (433):
Goalkeeper: Han Jiaqi
Han Jiaqi, the main goalkeeper of the Chinese Super League team Guangzhou City, has considerable experience in the game and is the well-deserved number one goalkeeper in the current generation of young players.
Defenders: Wen Jiabao, Zhu Chenjie, Wu Shaocong, Zhang Linpeng
Wen Jiabao, Shanghai Shenhua's main left defender, skilled left foot, active defense, is the captain of the Dubai Cup, morale-boosting aspects; Zhu Chenjie, Shanghai Shenhua's main center-back, young and old, bold and careful, is one of the few young players who can sit firmly in the national football team;
Wu Shaocong, the substitute defender of the Guangzhou team, is an all-rounder who can play center-back and full-back; Zhang Linpeng, this does not need to be introduced too much, the former main player of the Guangzhou team, has now transferred to Shanghai Harbor, and can also play multiple positions.
Midfielders: Jiang Shenglong, Wu Xi, Dai Weijun
Jiang Shenglong, a Shanghai Shenhua player, was loaned to Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic last season and became the main force on the field, playing center-back or playing at the back; Wu Xi, the main player of Shanghai Shenhua, the captain of the national football field, the strength is beyond doubt; Dai Weijun, the main player of the Shenzhen team, has received football training in the United Kingdom since childhood, excellent technology and overall view, and is the core of the national football team in the next decade.
In general, in terms of midfield, the National Olympic Team needs a most suitable strong interception of the back, although Jiang Shenglong is OK, but personally feels that it is not the most appropriate, I hope that an excellent back player can emerge in the next period of time.
Forwards: Tao Qianglong, Liu Ruovan, Zhang Yuning
Tao Qianglong, Dalian player, after becoming famous at a young age, the development is not very smooth, but the personal energy is still very strong, was rated by FIFA as one of the most promising new stars, if the state is good, a main position is not a problem; Liu Ruovan, also a young and famous player, but in Shanghai Shenhua can not find a position, so he was loaned to Chengdu Rongcheng, playing very brightly.
Zhang Yuning, playing for Beijing Guoan, once a foreign player, after returning to the Chinese Super League, has outstanding ability, and there is no shortcoming (that is, physical strength is a little bad), and even squeezed out naturalized players such as Axon and sat firmly in the main force of the national football team.
After the Olympic training, he will go to Japan to participate in the East Asian Final Four, which is one of the few practical opportunities, and then the much-anticipated Hangzhou Asian Games. However, the current 3 over-aged players are not 100% certain, but depend on Yankovic's final decision (such as status and injury), and the possibility of substitution is not ruled out.
The ultimate goal of the national Olympic team this time is naturally the Hangzhou Asian Games held in China this year, because it is the relationship between the hosts, so the Football Association attaches great importance to it, and the requirements for the results are certainly very high, at least to play in the top 4.
