On September 9, the Chinese national team was forced to draw 1-1 at home by Malaysia, as the representative players of the national football team and the representative players of Shanghai SIPG Club, Yan Junling and Xu Xin's performance in the national football match was controversial.
As a goalkeeper, Yan Junling did not perform well in the friendly match against Malaysia. He lacks a certain reaction speed and accuracy when facing the opponent's shots. This made it impossible for him to effectively save opposing angled shots, causing a lot of trouble for the national team. As a goalkeeper, he should have excellent saves and judgment. However, based on the performance of the game, Yan Junling did not seem to meet the requirements of the national team, so he was questioned whether he was suitable to continue to play the position of goalkeeper in the national team. Without the VAR system, he would have been pierced twice, and he didn't have any great saves in this match.
Xu Xin, who has been playing for SIPG for the past few years and has shown excellent individual ability. However, in the national team competition, his performance was not as good as at the club. There seemed to be a problem with the connection between movement and movement, and he did not show the technique and scoring ability he should have. Xu Xin has been selected for the national team since 2016, so many years, there has been no great improvement in the national team, and in the club game, his performance is very bad, as a defensive midfielder, the national football team can not get the ball, it is thanks to Xu Xin.
Wu Lei, the "first brother" of Chinese football. Wu Lei plays an important offensive role in the national team, but his performance in friendly matches has also caused a lot of controversy. There is an opinion that he lacks calm and judgment when facing opponents' defenses. During the game, he often chose to shoot blindly instead of thinking about passing the ball to his teammates for a better offense. Such behavior not only did not bring the national team an opportunity to attack, but also returned the ball to the opponent and created an opportunity for the opponent to counterattack. In addition, some people think that his handling of the ball is slow and his technique needs to be improved. As the post-80s sports master said, after Wu Lei broke the record in the national team and completed the surpassing of Liu Haiguang, he quickly quit the national team and gave way to young people.
Yan Junling, Xu Xin and Wu Lei are representative players of SIPG Club, and their performance in the national team has been questioned. Yan Junling does not have excellent reaction speed and saving ability, and Xu Xin has many problems in defense. Wu Lei's blind shooting and slow handling of the ball have become the reasons why they cannot continue to get opportunities in the national team. Therefore, Chinese football needs to develop young players more extensively, shuffle cards and introduce better coaches to improve the team's strength and prepare for the next competition.
At the same time, for veteran players over 30 years old, the number of players should be limited to prevent the aging of the team and promote the development of the national team.
