Waste of places? Li Tie's 4 major related households, 3 people in the world preliminaries, and 0 appearances! The current situation is bleak, or it may be difficult to enter the national football team again
In the CCTV anti-corruption feature film, it was revealed that Li Tie and Wuhan Zall Club sent 4 Wuhan Zall players to the national football team through money and power transactions. Although the names of these 4 Zall internationals are not mentioned in the feature film, looking back at the controversial national football list in January 2020, it is easy to guess that these 4 people are Dong Chunyu, Tomorrow, Liu Yun and Li Xing.
The former president of Zall Club once revealed that he blushed when he saw that 4 members of the team were selected for the national football team, because he knew that his players were not strong enough to enter the national team. It turns out that these 4 people really don't deserve the title of internationals. According to the data of the German transfer, only tomorrow of the four people will be slightly reused by Li Tie. Tomorrow he made a total of five appearances in the national team, including the East Asian Cup against Japan and South Korea. However, in the 2021 World Preliminary Tournament, he will be reduced to a substitute tomorrow. He only came off the bench in three games and played 35 minutes.
However, compared to tomorrow, the other three are more like Li Tie's "related households" in the national team. As the captain of Zall's club at the time, Li Xing made three appearances in the national team, but all of them were in the East Asian Cup and were not in the nature of an official competition. In the World Preliminaries, Li Xing, like Dong Chunyu and Liu Yun, all made 0 appearances, and it was only by virtue of relationships that he entered the national football list.
What's even more infuriating is that Li Tie's behavior not only wasted the precious places of the national team. is also because these 4 people squeezed out the opportunity of other better international players who should have gone to the tournament, which greatly affected the national football team's record in the World Preliminaries.
And after Li Tie was imprisoned, the current situation of these four international players was not easy. Tomorrow, who now plays for the Jinmen Tigers, has not played since August due to a serious injury. Liu Yun, who went to Yatai, is only a team rotation role. And the goalkeeper Dong Chunyu, who is currently playing in Shenzhen, fell into the Central League with the team and is likely to face the embarrassment of disbanding and unemployment. As for Li Xing, after the dissolution of Wuhan Zhuoer, he has not been able to find his next home.
Because of their own limited strength, coupled with the notoriety of being forced to bear Li Tie's "related household" in this anti-corruption storm, I am afraid that these four people who are deeply involved in the whirlpool of controversy will have a hard time having the opportunity to be selected for the national team again in the future.
