China women's football U20 national youth women's football team recently announced the training list, the list caused an uproar, because the U16 team led by Chen Wanting was just suitable for entering the current U20, but the head coach of the national youth wang jun gave up many members of the national girl football team. From the official list of U20, it is not difficult to see that only 7 of the 24 people in this list are from the former U16 national girls' football team, and it is probably unprecedented that so many people of the national girl football team have failed to be elected to the national youth.
That group of players was carefully selected by Chen Wanting, from basic skills to talents are outstanding in the same group of players, but also through the top coach Chen Wanting's careful teaching. And they have played in international competitions such as the Weifang Cup and the Asian Cup. It is reasonable to say that the group of national junior players should naturally enter the national youth women's football team, why are most of the players ruthlessly abandoned? This is very detrimental to the development of these players, and such a blow is likely to make them lose their self-confidence. Is it that Chen Wanting's vision when selecting team members was not high, resulting in inaccurate selection of materials, and there is no potential to be tapped in subsequent development?
Many fans are also asking who is Wang Jun? Wang Jun has actually been engaged in women's football youth training for many years, and he has led the Chinese women's football U20 to participate in the World Youth Championships three times. Although the people are very low-key, the level is really high. The most classic game he led the Chinese women's national youth team was the 2014 World Youth Championship against the German women's football team. That game was simply breathtaking, the goals of both sides were wonderful, the Chinese women's football national youth team did not show weakness in the face of the world championship, and finally the two sides played a 5-5 draw. Videos of that game were played frequently on almost every platform, but no one knew that the head coach of that game was Wang Jun.
Wang Jun also participated in last year's Chinese women's football coach campaign, but unfortunately the support rate is far lower than That of Chen Wanting, after all, the work is too low-key, no one knows who he is, and no one knows that almost all the stars of the Chinese women's football team are her disciples. For example, Tang Jiali participated in the 5-5 German national youth match and scored a wonderful goal. He also lost the national women's football campaign, but Wang Jun is the coach with the least worries, because he does not have to look for a new job and continues to teach the women's football team of the Chinese women's football national youth team. The announcement of the 24-man list of the Chinese women's national youth team this time gave everyone a surprise. In this list, only Zou Mengyao (Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic Women's Football Team), Xu Zixian (Tianjin Shengde Women's Football Team), Wang Jingyi (Qiongzhong Women's Football Team), Jiang Chenjing (Wuhan Jiangda Women's Football Team), Chen Jiayu (Jiangsu Women's Football Team), Wang Siqian and Zhang Chenqian (Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank Women's Football Team) were selected as the original disciples of Chen Wanting.
The original Chinese women's football team U16, although it lost miserably to the Korean women's football team and the Japanese women's football team in the 2019 Asian Junior Championship, failed to rush out of Asia, but it still left a deep impression on the fans. There are many players who impress the fans, such as Shi Xiaomin, Wang Qianqian, Wang Xinling, Wang Huimin, Luo Yi, etc., but these players have all failed this time, of which Wang Xinling is the main force of the Chinese Super Team Beijing Women's Football Team, and Wang Huimin is the core player of the Qiongzhong Women's Football Team. Therefore, many fans are indignant about this list, believing that Wang Jun deliberately excluded Chen Wanting's disciples, is this the case?
In fact, it is not that Wang Jun's level is not good, nor is it That Chen Wanting's vision is short-sighted, nor is it that the potential of this group of players is insufficient, but because the goal of this team is the Asian Youth Championship and the World Youth Championship in 2024. So although this is a U20 youth team, the selected players cannot be more than 18 years old, otherwise they will not be able to participate in the game in 2024 because of overage. Therefore, the team members selected by Wang Jun this time are all team members who are qualified to participate in the Asian Youth Championship and the World Youth Championship in 2024. For example, Wang Qianqian was born in 2003, although she now meets the age requirements of U20, but she will be overaged by 2024, so it is meaningless to recruit her into the national youth team now. Now the fans understand the reasons behind this!
