There are only 20 days left before the first Asian Cup match of the Chinese men's football team. At present, the Chinese men's football team is training in the United Arab Emirates to prepare for the game. It is reported that before the start of the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's football team will play 4 warm-up matches, of which 3 warm-up opponents have been locked, namely Oman, Hong Kong and a local team in the United Arab Emirates, and the last warm-up match opponent will be finalized soon.
In recent days, one of the most focused events that happened to the national football team was the departure of naturalized international player Li Ke and the replacement of local defender Xu Xin. Many people are worried that Li Ke's sudden departure is a major blow to the national football team that is about to start competing in the Asian Cup. Although there is Xu Xin's fireline to help, Xu Xin's personal ability is obviously not as good as Li Ke, so many fans are worried that the midfield and backfield of the national football team will become a relatively big shortcoming.
The author thinks that Li Ke's sudden departure from the team, although it will have a certain impact on the national football team, on the whole, it is not as bad as we imagined. Although Xu Xin is embarrassed, there are still local first-class midfielders such as Wu Xi, Wang Qiuming, Wang Shangyuan, etc. in the national football team, especially Wang Qiuming, who is worthy of the expectations of Chinese fans.
Li Ke is certainly a midfielder that Jankovic trusts, but his tactical role in the national football team is not as big as we think. Judging from the previous warm-up matches of the national team, Li Ke's personal ability is not outstanding, and his mental attributes are average, and his enthusiasm to play for the national football team does not seem to be high, and there is often a negative return to defense on the field. Being late for training this time is also a typical manifestation of his low motivation. If Li Ke holds such a negative attitude to play the Asian Cup, it is not a good thing for the national team.
And Li Ke's departure, one of the most obvious benefits for the national football team is that it will allow Wang Qiuming, a local midfielder who has both offense and defense, to get more opportunities to play. When Li Ke was around, Wang Qiuming might only be a substitute, but after Li Ke left, Wang Qiuming would most likely be able to replace Li Ke in the main position of the Asian Cup. Judging from Wang Qiuming's personal ability and positive attitude in the game, it is obviously more beneficial for him to play the main position of the national football team.
Therefore, to sum up, in fact, Li Ke's departure is not only not a bad thing, but also a good thing. Once Wang Qiuming, who is good in attack and defense, can replace Li Ke in the main position of the national football team, the control of the national football team in the midfield and backfield will be greatly improved. I look forward to Wang Qiuming playing an amazing performance in the Asian Cup.
