The national football team was forced to draw 2-2 away by the Singapore team in the round of 36 of the World Preliminaries, creating a great humiliation, and after the game, Zhang Linpeng, who was criticized by the outside world for his mistakes, did not resist the pressure and took the initiative to announce to the whole team that he would withdraw from the national team, this decision also attracted the attention of the outside world, in fact, this is the second time he has suffered a similar blow in 2 consecutive years!
As early as during the last round of 12, the national football team lost to the Vietnamese team on the first day of the Lunar New Year under the leadership of Li Xiaopeng, and at that time it also caused crazy complaints and criticism from domestic fans, and Zhang Linpeng, the main international player at the time, seemed to be unable to accept this fact. In an interview with domestic media, he said that losing to the Vietnamese team was a hurdle that he would never be able to overcome!
Zhang Linpeng has had a brilliant experience in Guangzhou Evergrande and the national team, and has also won the favor of giants such as Chelsea and Real Madrid, however, when he lost to Vietnam in the national team, he bluntly said that this may be because most of the players are a little underestimated, and the team is also a little unprepared, he firmly believes that the team will not lose to the Vietnamese team for a long time, and the team will pay attention to such opponents in the future, so he thinks this will not become the norm!
At the same time, Zhang Linpeng also said that this will become a game for all the international players who participated in this game, including the game that he will never forget, and it is also a hurdle that he will never be able to overcome. Now, just 2 years have passed, Zhang Linpeng participated in the World Preliminary Tournament and Singapore as the first captain of the team, compared to Vietnam, Singapore's ranking and strength are obviously lower, but the team was finally forced to draw because of his mistakes!
In this regard, Zhang Linpeng undoubtedly felt extremely desperate and blamed, and he also took the initiative to take responsibility in this way. Obviously, his ideas are admirable, but also embarrassing, Zhang Linpeng is a real man of the Chinese men's football team, dare to take responsibility, he has experienced the glory and trough of the national football team, and obviously understands the sadness best, from Vietnam to Singapore, he may really not be able to accept the national football team and himself such a continuous blow!
