After the first leg of the national football team and Singapore drew 2:2, Zhang Linpeng, the captain of the national football team, whose performance has been repeatedly questioned, issued a post after the game, announcing his withdrawal from the Chinese national team. But then he retracted the idea of withdrawing from the national football team and appeared in the squad of the national football team at home against Singapore, but the new coach Ivankovic did not let Zhang Linpeng appear in the starting lineup, although the national football team won Singapore at home, but Zhang Linpeng, as the captain, could only sit on the bench and watch the game, until the end of the game, fans and media found Zhang Linpeng in the team celebrating the national football team.
Zhang Linpeng at his peak was the absolute main force of Guangzhou Evergrande and the national football team, and he also received an invitation from the Premier League giants Chelsea, but the Evergrande club did not approve Zhang Linpeng's request to stay abroad. As he gets older, Zhang Linpeng's state also declines, and the most impressive thing for fans must be Zhang Linpeng's fatal mistake in the national football team against Syria, which made the national football team finally miss the World Cup, and also made the angry former national football coach Lippi resign and leave the national football team. But now that Chinese football talent is withering, the 34-year-old Zhang Linpeng is still a frequent visitor to the national football training camp, as one of the few players who has played more than 100 games on behalf of the national team, Zhang Linpeng's rich game experience can still allow him to occupy a place in the national football team. Although Zhang Linpeng's performance has been repeatedly questioned, his physical fitness is excellent, and he has been playing for the national team for many years and deserves the respect of fans.
And today I saw such a message when I was browsing the well-known domestic sports media "Live Bar", Zhang Linpeng said in an interview a few days ago that if the coach put me on the bench for a long time, I may choose to retire directly. "Personally, I think that after a variety of factors such as the public opinion turmoil of withdrawing from the national team and the decline in form, there is a big question mark over whether Zhang Linpeng can lead the Chinese national team again in the future. However, Zhang Linpeng is still the absolute main force of the team's backline, the young players in the back line of the harbor are growing slowly, Zhang Linpeng's main position is still stable, with his current state, he can ensure that he occupies the main position of the harbor in at least two or three years, so Zhang Linpeng's career may be two or three years!
And a state of decline, the older Zhang Linpeng has occupied the main position in the club and the national team for many years. From one side, it can only show that the youth talents of Chinese football are withering, if the young players can be on top in time, maybe Zhang Linpeng will not be questioned and cyberbullied by fans and the media because of his poor performance. Speaking of this, it may not only be Zhang Linpeng's personal sorrow, but also a great sorrow of Chinese football. In today's Chinese football, there is really no defender with better physical fitness and experience than Zhang Linpeng.
