The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, which means that the Chinese Football Association will soon announce the new training list of the national football team. According to Beijing Youth Daily, the national football team plans to launch the first training in 2023 after the Spring Festival, because there is no substantial progress in the selection of coaches, so it is likely that Li Xiaopeng will lead the team to train.
Last year, Li Tie left class, Li Xiaopeng replaced him as the national football coach, not the decision of the Chinese Football Association, but the leading group formed by the State General Administration of Sports, of course, Li Xiaopeng is only a temporary manager, if a new coach arrives, Li Xiaopeng has no suspense after class.
This year's national football team is tasked with participating in the second phase of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and the final stage of the 2023 Asian Cup, based on Li Xiaopeng is only the interim manager, the next training list may be selected by the Chinese Football Association, because the current national team leadership returns to the hands of the Chinese Football Association.
At this stage, the main team of the national football team is still composed of Wu Lei, Liu Dianzao, Zhu Chenjie, Dai Weijun, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Yuning, Zhang Xizhe, Xu Xin, Wu Xi, Yan Junling, Wu Shaocong, Li Lei, Jin Jingdao, etc., if nothing else, these international footballers will be successfully selected into the new training list of the national football team.
Now that Gaulart has confirmed that he has renounced his Chinese nationality, Xiao Taotao is also waiting for news from the Peruvian immigration bureau, and it is only time to restore his original nationality. In addition, Axon, Luo Guofu, Fernando, Alan and Li Ke have not been in China in the past year, either recovering from injury, unemployed, or in poor condition, and have no hope of returning to the national team, while remaining in the Chinese Super League to play in the league performance is also average, does not rule out that the Football Association has all abandoned the 6 naturalized international footballers who have been selected for the national football team.
The naturalization operation of Chinese football has been reduced to a joke, spending more than 1 billion yuan on naturalization has not received much return, and the strength of the national football team has gradually become the third-rate level in Asia.
If the naturalized international player is abandoned, and at the same time many veterans withdraw, there will definitely be new people selected, and the former international will return.
Many international players who helped Wuhan Three Towns win the Chinese Super League championship for the first time last season have performed well and are worthy of being selected for the national team, such as Deng Hanwen, He Chao, Liu Yiming, Xie Pengfei, in addition, Wei Shihao, who was abandoned by Li Tie and Li Xiaopeng at the same time, is also expected to return to the national team to be reused, after all, those naturalized forwards are gradually moving away from the national team.
Since the round of 12 was played at the end of March last year, the replacement of the old and the new has not been completed, and the reconstruction of the national football team has been delayed until now, which will affect the future World Cup qualifiers and Asian Cup finals.
