The Naturalization of the Chinese Men's Football Team: Reflections Triggered by Li Ke's Departure
The Chinese men's football team has always been the focus of attention of the Chinese people and a symbol of national honor. Since the implementation of the naturalization policy in 2019, the Chinese men's football team has welcomed a group of players with international standards, the most eye-catching of which is Li Ke. Li Ke is a British-born Chinese player who played for Premier League side Everton. He made his debut for the Chinese men's football team in October 2019 and has since shown excellent technique and goalscoring ability in a number of games, bringing new hope and motivation to the national team. However, at the critical moment when the Chinese men's football team was preparing for the 2023 Asian Cup, Li Ke suddenly left the national team on the grounds of "family reasons", causing an uproar.
Li Ke's departure has surprised and disappointed people, and also cast doubt on his true motives. What kind of "family reasons" made him give up the opportunity to play for his country, did he have reservations about the prospects and interests of the national team, and was he pressured or tempted by other quarters? These questions have not been answered definitively, but have only made people's speculation more and more complicated.
Li Ke's departure is not only a personal choice, but also a loss for the team. His absence has undoubtedly weakened the strength and confidence of the Chinese men's football team, and also affected the cohesion and stability of the team. His departure also makes us have to re-examine the naturalization of the Chinese men's football team and think about its meaning and value. Are we relying too much on naturalized players and neglecting the development of homegrown players? Can we create a fair and transparent football environment where all players can do their best to contribute to the national team? Can we stick to our own football philosophy and style instead of following the crowd and blindly imitating others? These are all questions that deserve our deep consideration and discussion.
Li Ke's departure may be an accidental event, or it may be an inevitable result. In any case, we must not be discouraged or give up because of this, but should take this opportunity to strengthen our own construction and reform, and work for the future of the Chinese men's football team. We believe that the road to naturalization of the Chinese men's football team is not all smooth sailing, but it is not without merit. We believe that the naturalization of the Chinese men's football team is not an expedient measure, but a long-term strategy. We believe that the naturalization of the Chinese men's football team is not a compromise, but a progress. We believe that the naturalization of the Chinese men's football team is not an end, but a starting point.
We look forward to the Chinese men's football team in the future, to show a stronger and more confident side, to win more respect and praise with more wonderful and outstanding performances, and to strive for more glory and pride for the country!
The first internal heavy penalty of the Chinese men's football team in 2023: Li Ke left the team, and Wu Lei's plea was fruitless
The Chinese men's football team is training in West Asia to prepare for the Asian Cup, which starts in mid-January. The goal of the national football team is to advance to the top 8, but judging from the warm-up matches in the first three months, it will not be easy. Qualifying from the group is also facing fierce competition, and the national football team cannot afford to slacken anything.
At such a critical moment, the national football team broke out a shocking internal incident: naturalized player Li Ke was purged from the team by head coach Jankovic because he was late many times, and missed the opportunity to play the Asian Cup. And Wu Lei, the number one star of the national football team, and the veteran Zhang Linpeng once interceded for Li Ke, but they were all rejected by Jankovic.
As soon as this news was exposed, it immediately caused a sensation in domestic football. Some people question whether Jankovic's discipline management is too strict, some people are worried that Li Ke's departure will affect the combat effectiveness of the national football team, some people doubt whether there is a contradiction between Li Ke and Wu Lei, some people praise Wu Lei's team spirit, and some people feel sorry for Li Ke's regrets.
Exactly how did this happen? Why was Li Ke late? Why did Wu Lei intercede for him? Why did Jankovic refuse? What impact did this have on the national football team's trip to the Asian Cup? This article will analyze the ins and outs of this incident and the possible consequences for you from multiple angles.
The reason for Li Ke's tardiness
Li Ke is a naturalized player of the national football team, who has played in the Premier League and the Soviet Super League, and now plays in the Hebei Huaxia Happiness Team in the Chinese Super League. He is the heart of the midfield of the national football team, good at organising attacks, and can also score crucial goals. His position in the national football team is unshakable, and he is also the focus of Jankovic's training.
So, why was Li Ke late? According to an informed source, Li Ke's tardiness did not occur once or twice, but many times. There are two main reasons for his tardiness: one is his family factors, and the other is his personal Xi.
Li Ke's family factor refers to the fact that his wife and children are in the UK, and he rarely gets to see them, so he often contacts them via video calls. Due to jet lag, he would sometimes chat with them at night or in the early hours of the morning, which caused him to lack sleep and affected his training status.
Li Ke's personal Xi refers to his liking to play games, especially some online games. In his free time, he plays games with his friends or teammates, and sometimes gets carried away and neglects time, causing his training schedule to be disrupted.
These two reasons are Li Ke's personal problems and have no direct relationship with other players in the national football team. However, his tardiness had a negative impact on the overall discipline of the national football team. As the head coach, Jankovic has the responsibility to maintain the team cohesion of the national football team, so he was very dissatisfied with Li Ke's tardiness and decided to punish him severely.
Wu Lei's reason for intercession
Wu Lei is the number one star of the national football team and the captain of the national football team. He plays in La Liga in Spain, is an attacking weapon of the national football team, and is also the spiritual leader of the national football team. There is no need to say much about his importance to the national football team.
According to a person familiar with the matter, there are two main reasons for Wu Lei's intercession: First, he has a good relationship with Li Ke, and second, he thinks that Li Ke has a great role in the national football team.
Wu Lei and Li Ke have a good relationship because they are both naturalized players, both have the experience of playing in Europe, and both have family concerns, so they have a lot of common topics and many common difficulties. When they were in the national football team, they often encouraged each other, helped each other, learned Xi from each other, and formed a deep friendship.
Wu Lei believes that Li Ke plays a great role in the national football team because he understands Li Ke's ability and characteristics, as well as the tactics and needs of the national football team. He knows that Li Ke is the core of the midfield of the national football team, the offensive organizer of the national football team, and the set-piece expert of the national football team. He knows that the tactics of the national football team are based on ball control and passing, and players like Li Ke are needed to connect the front and back courts, provide support to forwards, and provide protection for defenders. He knows that the opponents of the national football team are all strong, and a player like Li Ke is needed to break the deadlock, use set-pieces to create chances, or score goals himself.
Because of these two reasons, Wu Lei feels that Li Ke is an indispensable member of the national football team, and he does not want to let Li Ke lose the opportunity of the Asian Cup because of some personal problems, and also let the national football team lose an important combat power. Therefore, he decided to intercede for Li Ke, hoping that Jankovic could give Li Ke a chance to stay in the national football team and continue to play for the national football team.
The reason for Yankovic's refusal
Jankovic is the head coach of the national football team and the decision-maker of the national football team. He is an experienced and accomplished coach who has led Serbia to the World Cup and Jiangsu Suning in the Chinese Super League to win the league and cup doubles. His goal for the national football team is to advance to the top 8 of the Asian Cup, and he also has strict requirements for the players of the national football team.
According to informed sources, there are two main reasons for Jankovic's refusal: First, his sense of discipline, and second, his tactical arrangements.
Jankovic's concept of discipline refers to his belief that the team's team spirit and execution are the basis for victory, and any behavior that affects the team's discipline is intolerable. He believes that Li Ke's repeated tardiness is not only disrespectful to him, but also unfair to other players, which will reduce the team's cohesion and combat effectiveness. He believes that as a professional player, Li Ke should have his own sense of responsibility and planning, and should not affect the honor and interests of the national team because of some personal problems. He believes that as a head coach, he has the right and obligation to punish players who violate discipline in order to maintain order and image of the team.
Jankovic's tactical arrangement means that he believes that Li Ke's departure will not have much impact on the tactics of the national football team, nor will it affect the goals of the national football team. He believes that although Li Ke is an excellent midfielder, he is not an irreplaceable member of the national football team, and the national football team has other midfielders who can fill Li Ke's vacancy, such as Xu Xin, Chi Zhongguo, Huang Zichang, etc. He believes that the tactics of the national football team are based on defensive counterattacks, which requires players with speed and physical fitness, while Li Ke's speed and physical fitness are not outstanding, but may become the shortcomings of the national football team. He believes that the opponents of the national football team are all strong and need to have flexible and changeable tactics, while Li Ke's style of play is relatively fixed and easy to be targeted and limited by opponents.
Because of these two reasons, Jankovic feels that Li Ke's departure is a warning to the national football team, and it is also an opportunity for the national football team, so that other players of the national football team have more room to show and compete, and also make the tactics of the national football team have more possibilities and innovation. Therefore, he decided to refuse Wu Lei's plea and insisted that Li Ke leave the national football team and no longer participate in the Asian Cup.
