In 2002, China reached the Final Round of the World Cup for the first time, and the only time so far, the 23 players who finally embarked on the World Cup flight in South Korea and Japan were undoubtedly the lucky ones at that time, leaving the most shining memories in Chinese football and the peak of the players' football careers. After so many years, when our generation of players is not as good as a generation and can no longer step into the World Cup, everyone will think of the Milu national team of that year, and the lucky 23 people, of which the selection of individual players has been criticized, so is Milu stubborn, or is there another hidden feeling?

The 23-man roster includes 3 goalkeepers, 8 defenders, 8 midfielders, 4 strikers, first of all, goalkeeper, Jiang Jin, Ou Chuliang, An Qi, these three people are not controversial, belong to the traditional combination of old and young, Ou Chuliang is old and strong, Jiang Jin is a year of playing, height and arm length, top ten performance, An Qi is a rising star in the national Olympic team is the main force of iron.

Defender line, center back 4 people: Fan Zhiyi, Zhang Enhua, Li Weifeng, Du Wei, left defender: Wu Chengying, Yang Pu, right defender: Sun Jihai, Xu Yunlong. Standard tournament 8-man defender combination. The main force should normally be Wu Chengying, Fan Zhiyi, Li Weifeng, Sun Jihai, of which Li Weifeng has already won the trust of Milu with his excellent performance in the qualifiers and the top ten matches, replacing Zhang Enhua as the main force, Fan Zhiyi's big guy status is even more unshakable, but there is one thing confirmed by Fan Zhiyi many years later, that is, he has seriously injured his ankle ligament before the World Cup, but for this once-in-a-lifetime World Cup, he chose to hide the injury with the team doctor, and Fan Zhiyi played 74 minutes in the first game of the World Cup and did not play again It is for this reason that in the last two games, Milu did not use the long-established Zhang Enhua, but chose the young Dewey, because after Fan Zhiyi was injured, Milu did not replace him, he had an unhappy encounter with Milu on the bench and in the dressing room, and Zhang Enhua did not get a minute to play in the World Cup is his lifelong regret. Left-back Wu Chengying is the main player, with Yang Pu as a substitute. The right-back was originally planned to be Sun Jihai's main force, Xu Yunlong's substitute, but Milu changed the position in the first game, and Sun Jihai was positioned as a right forward, Xu Yunlong was lucky to become the main right-back, unexpectedly, Sun Jihai was injured in 20 minutes to bid farewell to the World Cup, and Milu's idea of benefiting Sun Jihai's offensive attributes was completely shattered.

Midfielder 8 people, first of all Ma Mingyu, Li Tie, Qi Hong, Yu Genwei, these four people are ironclad selected, but also Milu very much appreciate and trust the team, during the top ten forward position Qi Hong is the main force, Yu Genwei is the substitute, and later several times in the face of the media, Yu Genwei said, let me give Qi Hong a substitute I am not convinced. The last game of the top ten competition was suspended because of Qi Hong, and it was Yu Genwei who sealed his throat with a sword to send the Chinese team to the World Cup in advance. In the first match of the World Cup, Costa Milu changed the diamond-shaped position of the midfield to a parallel position, Qi Hong and Yu Genwei did not start, and the second game changed to Brazil 451, midfielder Li Tie, Zhao Junzhe double back, front waist Qi Hong, left Ma Mingyu, right Li Xiaopeng. The third game against Turkey changed back to 442, midfielder Li Tie single back, Zhao Junzhe suddenly forward, left Yang Pu, right Li Xiaopeng, it can be said that the World Cup for the midfielders the most amazing performance is hit by the Brazilian goalpost Zhao Junzhe, during the top ten he was not the main candidate, and even selected for the Milu national team for a long time, but he was finally selected with his excellent performance and his all-round attributes. Shao Jia made one or two substitution appearances, including a few minutes against Turkey and was sent off with a red card, and it is said that Shao Jiayi's selection was more due to Milu assistant coach Jin Zhiyang's strong recommendation of Guoan players, including Yang Pu and Xu Yunlong, after all, wei Xin and Chen Gang were also outstanding in the right-back position at that time. Gao Yao was selected with great controversy, all said that he was a related household, and later Gao Yao confirmed that it was actually because the former club coach Santrasch recommended him to his friend Milu, and in several warm-up matches before the start of the World Cup, Milu tried to let Fan Zhiyi and Li Tie partner double back, but Fan Zhiyi did not perform well, took the initiative to find Milu and said that it was more suitable for himself after the center back, so Milu had to find a substitute for the pure back Li Tie in the World Cup, that is, Gao Yao.

The most controversial position is that Li Xiaopeng replaced the national football tycoon Li Ming and finally selected, one of the reasons is that everyone knows that before the first game of the top ten matches, Li Ming found Milu and said that he was injured and could not start, Li Xiaopeng seized the opportunity to get on the position and scored first, since then Milu has a grudge against Li Ming, this is one of the reasons, and another reason is that there are many right forward personnel, Li Xiaopeng Needless to say, Sun Jihai position premise Milu has been plotting for a long time, and Zhao junzhe's right forward can also play the back, the center forward, is a generalist. Although Qu Bo is a striker, he also plays more right-back in the Olympic Games and clubs, which is why Milu is determined to abandon Li Ming.

Forward line, limited quota, Yang Chen, Su Maozhen This is all elders and heroes, the only controversy is Qu Bo, many people think that Zhang Yuning and Xie Hui, Li Jinyu should be selected, but because Xie Hui and Su Maozhen belong to the same as the center of the head ball, all can only choose 1 out of 2, Zhang Yuning and the top ten competition merits yang Chen compared to that must be inferior. Qu Bo is a young player, fast and can also play at right forward, which is why he was selected. As for Li Jinyu, perhaps because of the style problem, he seems to have never entered Milu's eyes.

Some people say why with Qu Bo, An Qi, Dewey three national Olympic team young players, this should be the political task of the Football Association, to participate in the World Cup needs to combine old, middle and young, bringing mainly to feel the atmosphere, of course, Dewey became the biggest beneficiary of Fan Zhiyi's injury. And now many people say why Zheng Zhi was not selected at that time, the reason was later confirmed by Milu, because he usually did not have time to pay attention to the league, did not know that Zheng Zhi existed, no one recommended, some people said that Zheng Zhi was not Footballer, league assist king, but ignored a little these honors were obtained at the end of 2002, the World Cup is early June, that is to say, Zheng Zhi's performance in the first half of the year Milu does not understand at all, maybe this is Milu's shirking words, or maybe this is the opportunity and fate.

Finally, to say my opinion, I think at that time should bring Li Ming and Shen Si, replace Shao Jiayi and Gao Yao, Shen Si's performance in the league and the performance before the national team is not bad, and his free kick level is very high, it is most likely to bring goals to the Chinese team, in the left forward position as Ma Mingyu's substitute is more suitable than Shao Jiayi, many people say that Shen Si defense is not good, but Shao Jiayi defense is not good. Li Ming's strength and qualifications should be taken with him, perhaps many young fans do not know Li Ming, he is the absolute main force in both the national team and Dalian Wanda, the first domestic right-winger. In this way, the left forward Ma Mingyu, Shen Si, the right forward Li Ming, Li Xiaopeng, the back waist Li Tie, Zhao Junzhe, the front waist Qi Hong, Yu Genwei are more reasonable. Overall, the big list of the 2002 World Cup can not be satisfactory, but it does contain a lot of factors in it, Chinese football this jianghu is not what we laymen can all understand, Milu this foreign monk also needs to go into the countryside, but also to understand what is the sophistication of people, shunshui people, in addition to the changing situation on the court, there are many unknown factors, Milu also expected, if there is no Fan Zhiyi's concealment of injury, Sun Jihai was accidentally injured, Zhao Junzhe and Yang Chen's goalpost hit one, Maybe it all turned out to be different.

To this day we look back at the 2002 World Cup Top Ten and the main tournament, at that time we did not fear Qatar, Uzbekistan, Syria and the like, Oman, Vietnam, Maldives that do not need to be put in the eyes, although the World Cup lost three consecutive games, but there are also many wonderful points, the current national team Wang Shenchao, Tang Miao, Wu Lei, Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Xizhe, Arthur Junmin These national team players in the 87-91 age group are over 30 years old, and their predecessors Sun Jihai, Wu Chengying, Li Weifeng, Li Tie, Xu Yunlong, and Zhao Junzhe were about 22-26 years old when they participated in the World Cup, the eldest brother Fan Zhiyi was only 33 years old, and Dewey and Qu Bo were just 21 years old. What about the future of the national football team, when will the next batch of players in the 93-97 age group be able to pick up the beams of the national team and continue to rely on naturalization? What to do is never imaginable, and it is more worth pondering.
