As the Asian Cup draws closer, more and more teams are arriving in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to start preparing for the Asian Cup 10 days in advance. The national football team has been training in Abu Dhabi for half a month, during which they played two international A-level warm-up matches, losing to Oman and Hong Kong, China respectively, and the sluggish performance is surprising. With the deepening of the training camp, the time to submit the list to the AFC has also come, and the national football team has officially announced the 26-man squad for this Asian Cup. The 26-man squad is actually the 26 players who trained in Abu Dhabi this time.
This list is worth analyzing, that is, Li Ke, who left the team halfway, and Xu Xin, who joined the team as a substitute, did not have Li Ke's name in the final list, and Xu Xin finally replaced him in this Qatar Asian Cup. When Li Ke left the team before, everyone was discussing whether he could return before the start of the Asian Cup, after all, he is the main defender of the current national football team, although his ability and state have declined, but he is still better than Xu Xin. Now it seems that Li Ke has not returned to the squad for the game, and it has been confirmed that he will not participate in the Qatar Asian Cup.
There is only one week left before the opening of the Asian Cup, Li Ke and Aikeson are not on the list, and only Jiang Guangtai is left in the national football team. Exxon didn't get it because of his own state problem, and Li Ke did it entirely because of himself. In Jankovic's training list, Li Ke was selected without suspense, but because he was late many times during the training camp, Jankovic expelled Li Ke from the team in order to strengthen the team's discipline and professional attitude. Although Wu Lei, Zhang Linpeng and others interceded for him, Jankovic was unmoved.
Li Ke's own problems led to his departure from the training team, and he also missed the Asian Cup. It's a pity that the strength of the national football team in the Asian Cup has been damaged this time. Another interesting thing is that the national football team brought a total of 4 goalkeepers to the expedition, which is relatively rare in any world competition. Although each team has increased the list of three places in this Asian Cup, most teams have not added goalkeepers, and only a few national teams such as Syria, Tajikistan and the national football team have brought four goalkeepers.
To be honest, the prospects of the national football team in this Asian Cup are not good, especially the loss of the two warm-up games, which has hit the confidence of the national football team itself, and I am afraid that there is something wrong with the mentality. The goal of the national football team this time is still the top 8, if this goal can be achieved, then the previous losses to Oman and Hong Kong, China can be forgiven, and the difficulty of qualifying for the group to advance to the round of 16 is still relatively small, I hope the national football team can stabilize and not let the fans down again. Finally, I also hope that Li Ke can correct his attitude, return to the national football team as soon as possible, and appear in the round of 36.
