preface
At present, the schedule of the 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar has been finalized, and the competition will start on January 12, 2024 and end on February 10, 2024, and the final day coincides with the first day of the Chinese New Year. If the national football team can appear in the Asian Cup on this day, I believe this must be the best Spring Festival gift for domestic fans. As for what kind of lineup the national football team will send to participate, from the current situation, the player configuration may appear 7 naturalized selection, 4 new stars in the ocean, and 5 veterans.
7 naturalizations selected
First of all, let's talk about naturalized players, among which Axon, Li Ke, Alan, Jiang Guangtai, Delgado and Dai Weijun are expected to be selected for the Asian Cup squad at the same time.
The above players, Axon, Li Ke, Jiang Guangtai and Dai Weijun all play in the Chinese Super League, and their individual abilities are also stronger than most local internationals. Therefore, whether it is from the actual situation or the contribution to the team, they have the conditions to be selected for the national football team. As for Alain, he has been in close contact with the domestic leaders during his time playing in Brazil and has also expressed a strong desire to play in the Asian Cup with the national team. The remaining Delgado, who basically meets FIFA naturalization rules by 2024, can officially represent the national football team in matches.
4. Rising stars landed
Secondly, in terms of overseas players, such as Wu Shaocong, He Xiaoke, Tan Kaiyuan, Liu Shao Ziyang should all be selected for the national football Asian Cup roster. On the one hand, the reason is that at this stage, the national football team is in the process of alternating between the old and the new, and many young players need to be placed in the squad to be cultivated as the main force in the future. On the other hand, the above four players are indeed outstanding seedlings of the same age group in China, and have good cultivation value. Like Wu Shaocong is currently playing in the Turkish Super League, He Xiaoke and Tan Kaiyuan are in Spain, and Liu Shao Ziyang is selected by Bayern.
5 veterans eliminated
Finally, let's talk about the veterans who may be eliminated, including Wu Xi, Tan Long, Yan Junling, Zhang Xizhe, and Hao Junmin. As mentioned above, the top priority of the national football team at this stage is to complete the replacement of the old and new as soon as possible, adhering to this principle, it is natural that older veterans will leave the team. The above five players, whether it is Wu Xi, Zhang Xizhe, or Hao Junmin and Yan Junling, they have passed their professional peak, and there is no need to continue to occupy the national team position and not give young people a chance. And it has also been proven that the individual abilities of the above players do not support their international presence.
Therefore, the above changes in the national football Asian Cup lineup are likely to occur. Dear fans and friends, what do you think about this? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss!
