▷ Lippi is really accurate: the 5 best international players in the national football team were all promoted by him
In the past Jinyuan football era of Chinese football, if Lippi had not coached the national team, our current strength may be even worse. Because, Lippi's predecessors planted trees and were good at cultivating and excavating young players, which is why Jankovic is now enjoying the cool of the national team. Judging from the past two matches of the national football team against the Asian Cup, the five best performers of the national football team were all boldly promoted and used by Lippi.
Many fans also lamented that only when they meet a Bole, dare to promote young players, and cultivate young players, can Chinese football have a way out. A head coach like Jankovic, who likes to sit back and eat, will only make Chinese football disconnected.
Below, let's take a look at which 5 excellent international players Lippi left for the national football team.
The first person is 24-year-old Zhu Chenjie! Zhu Chenjie scored the only goal for the Chinese team in the first game of the Asian Cup. Although he was subsequently invalidated by the referee, it is difficult to hide that he is one of the best players in the national football team.
Zhu Chenjie was officially selected by Lippi into the national football team in 2018, when he was only 19 years old and the only post-00 player in the national football team. In today's national team, like the 22-year-old Tao Qianglong, although he is also very good, he can only be abandoned by Jankovic. He would rather use 35-year-old Tan Long than 22-year-old Tao Qianglong.
The second person is 29-year-old Xie Pengfei, who was selected for the national team for the first time in 2018. After the following year, Lippi used the "China Cup" to train Xie Pengfei. In the past two Asian Cup matches, Xie Pengfei and Lin Liangming have cooperated tacitly and have helped the national football team create threatening opportunities many times.
The third person is 28-year-old Zhang Yuning. When Lippi was coaching the national team, he had a very high opinion of Zhang Yuning. He said that Zhang Yuning not only has excellent running ability, but also has a great ability to hold the ball at the front of the penalty area.
In this Asian Cup, Zhang Yuning's performance is far better than Tan Long. On the offensive end, he can not only hold the ball high, but also create more space for his teammates to dribble and shoot.
In addition to the above three people, 28-year-old Liu Yang and 32-year-old Yan Junling are also players who were promoted and reused during Lippi's coaching of the national football team. Especially Yan Junling, Lippi dared to use him to take over the national football team, which can be called the most daring and successful decision. The rise of Yan Junling has also made Wang Dalei, another goalkeeper of the national football team, gradually become a substitute goalkeeper.
It can be said that if Lippi had not boldly promoted these young players to the national team, today's national football team may be even more stretched in terms of employment!
On the other hand, Jankovic, Wu Shaocong, the only international player in the national football team who stayed overseas, was promoted to the national team by him, and became a bench player in the Asian Cup. Even in the past warm-up games, Jankovic did not give young players a chance at all.
Jankovic's employment is actually very harmful to the national football team. It can be described as "drinking water to quench thirst".
Fan Zhiyi has said many times in the World Preliminary Tournament and the Asian Cup that if the Chinese team does not pay attention to the use of young players, the subsequent World Preliminary Tournament will be very troublesome. You can't count on veterans like Wu Lei, Tan Long, Wu Xi, and Zhang Linpeng to play the main force for you by 2025. If this is the case, the national football team will repeat the mistakes of the past when it hits the World Cup.
