Recently, the news that the Argentine team is going to play in China has become a very hot event in Chinese football, but as the team that won the World Cup last year, Argentina came to China to participate in the tournament this time, and the opponent was not the national football team, but Australia, which was surprising.
For the reason for this, some media previously believed that the gap between the strength of the national football team and Argentina is too large, and the team's main mind is now focused on the next World Preliminary Round and the Asian Cup, rather than playing such a purely commercial match. But now some media people say that the reason for such a result is because of Du Zhaocai.
The person who revealed the news was media person Qin Yun. When talking about the reason why Argentina came to China to play, but did not play with the national football team, he pointed out that the company hosting the schedule had indeed contacted the Chinese Football Association before to discuss the possibility of letting Argentina play the national football team. However, due to the previous Chen Yongliang, Liu Yi being detected, and Du Zhaocai's veto before being down, the national football team had no way to play Argentina.
The media person stressed that in this matter, the football association and the national team have changed their attitudes, in the period from the end of last year to the Spring Festival, the main person responsible for communicating this matter is Chen Yongliang, and the host company has received a verbal promise from this person that the national football team will arrange matches between the national football team and Argentina. But the problem was that he and Liu Yi were taken away for investigation on January 19, and the plan was shelved.
In February, the matter was raised again and discussed within the Football Association, but Du Zhao rejected the proposal at the end of March. It is worth mentioning that shortly after the veto, Du Zhaocai himself had problems and was taken away for investigation. Shortly after he vetoed the match against Argentina, the national team announced plans for a warm-up match in June, against Myanmar and Palestine.
For the selection of these two opponents, previous media analysis believed that because the opponent's strength is not strong, the current national football team needs confidence very much, especially now the general environment of domestic football is not very good, so if you can find the feeling of winning on the weak team, it may be more valuable than a commercial game.
Just yesterday, Pengbai News also wrote an analysis that the reason why the national football team does not play with Argentina is that the gap between the strength of the two teams is too large, and the essence of such a game is useless, followed by the important work of the national football team now is to prepare for the Asian Cup and the World Preliminary Round, rather than to play such meaningless commercial matches. This explanation can not be said to be wrong, Argentina's game in China is essentially a purely commercial game, but for fans, they may want to see the national football team and Argentina play each other, rather than the Australian team, which has nothing to do with China, appear on the field.
After falling from the horse, many of Du Zhaocai's black spots were also dug up, in addition to this warm-up match, there is another question about Du Zhaocai was also mentioned, that is, it is reported that it was Du Zhaocai's meaning that he personally proposed to the AFC not to hold the Asian Cup. It can be seen that such a black sheep has a great negative impact on the development of Chinese football, I don't know what kind of leadership the Football Association will launch next after this group of officials falls, to clean up the current mess, now, people's confidence is not enough.
