Interpretation of the new list of the national football team: "newcomers" are all old faces, and there are obvious deficiencies in the three positions
Reporter Chen Yong reported On June 6, the Chinese Football Association announced a new and also the second phase of the Yang National Team roster, with the return of Axon and Jiang Guangtai, and players such as Wang Qiuming selected.
On the 16th and 20th, the national team will play against Myanmar and Palestine in Dalian, and the central midfield, especially the central axis of the central midfield, is the difficulty faced by Jankovic and the most noteworthy.
In Yang I's roster (the official list for New Zealand), 16 people continue to be selected, including goalkeepers Yan Junling, Liu Dianzuo and Wang Dalei; defenders Deng Hanwen, Wei Zhen, Zhang Linpeng, Liu Yang; midfielders Xu Xin, Zhang Jiaqi, Wang Shangyuan, Xie Pengfei, Chen Pu, Sun Guowen; Forwards Wei Shihao, Lin Liangming and Wu Lei.
8 new players have been added in this issue, including defenders Gao Junyi, Li Lei, Jiang Guangtai, Wang Shenchao, and Tomorrow; midfielder Wang Qiuming; Strikers Axon and Wang Ziming. In addition, Tan Long, Gao Tianyi and Barton were selected for the Asian Games team as over-age players; Zhu Chenjie and Dai Weijun were selected for the Asian Games team as school-age players.
This list, naturally the most concerned is the return of Axon and Jiang Guangtai. Axon has started all 11 Super League games this season, scoring four goals, in addition to averaging 1.27 steals per game, although his reaction speed has decreased, but overall competitive form is good; Jiang Guangtai has overtaken the game 10 times this season, scoring one goal, and is the main central defender of Harbour. It can be said that the return of the two is expected by all. As for the other two naturalized players, Li Ke has just recovered and temporarily played as a substitute, although he has an assist in this round, but his body and condition have not recovered to their best; The same is true of Fernando, although he also has 1 assist, but due to the subsequent strain, the condition is not guaranteed, so they are not on the list - one of the criteria for recruiting players for the national team is to be able to fight, which is why Axon and Jiang Guangtai temporarily left the national team, at that time, their physical condition was not up to the requirements to play.
Several "newcomers", in fact, are old faces, among which tomorrow is more interesting, this season, he has performed well in Jinmen Tigers, in addition to defensive conscientiousness, he also has two assists; Wang Qiuming and Wang Ziming have also had national team experience before, but have been away for a relatively long time, especially Wang Qiuming, who has not yet played in the A Division.
Wang Qiuming was previously the main back of Hebei team, and in the 2020 and 2021 seasons, Hebei team reached the top eight for two consecutive seasons, and Wang Qiuming played a key role. This season, Wang Qiuming is the captain of the Jinmen Tigers, the core of the midfield, with 3 goals and 1 assist in 11 matches, his balanced attack and defense, and his fighting attitude is undoubtedly undoubted, and this selection for the national team is a reward for his years of hard work.
Wang Ziming has made 9 appearances (7 starts) this season, scoring 3 goals, and when Zhang Yuning is unable to play, he is the fulcrum of Guoan's striker, and in the context of Zhang Yuning's injury and Tan Long's support for the Asian Games team, Wang Ziming returned to the national team to take on the responsibility of a center forward.
The national team's warm-up matches in June will be against Myanmar and Palestine, which is arranged to take into account the needs of preparation for the World Preliminary Round of 36, because the national team will be playing against teams of this level.
The two opponents are weak, the national team may be attack-oriented, the problem is that the loss of personnel in the central midfield is large, Zhang Yuning, Wu Xi, Dai Weijun, etc. are unable to participate in the national team training due to injury or Asian Games team recruitment, in this case, how to match the central axis of the central midfield has become a problem.
At present, the national team's defense line is relatively stable, and there are mostly veteran players and middle-generation players, who have rich experience in the game, which Yankovic is more assured.
In the back position, the original main back is Xu Xin and Wu Xi, Wu Xi is injured, Xu Xin has only played 6 games this season, Wang Qiuming is likely to be entrusted with a heavy task, objectively speaking, no matter how it is matched, the strength and the combination of Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin and Wu Xi 4 years ago There is a big gap.
Among the midfielders, there are more wingers, and the center forward position may be chosen between Axon and Wang Ziming, and Wu Lei is likely to play as a shadow forward. However, the national team currently lacks an attacking midfield, Zhang Xizhe suffered an injury, and Dai Weijun was selected for the Asian Games team.
In other words, there are obvious deficiencies in the central axis of the national team, that is, the back, offensive midfield, and center forward, which is a test for Jankovic.
