In the 2000 Asian Cup, the national football team achieved good results in the top 4. Although in that year, the lineup of this team was generally not optimistic before the departure because of the absence of many main players in the 97 top ten, but the performance of the Asian Cup and the performance of the top ten in 2001 proved that the lineup of the 2000 Asian Cup was actually the absolute peak and highlight moment in the history of the national football team.
And now 24 years have passed, only to find that the original 2000 Asian Cup squad is very luxurious! At that time, many A-A players were not included in this lineup.
Li Jinyu, Zhang Yuning, and Yao Xia missed the lineup
In the 2000 Asian Cup, Li Jinyu was already the international player of the 97 top ten and the main scorer of the 99 National Olympic team; 张玉宁则是辽小虎99甲A青春风暴的“三叉戟”，他俩都无缘米卢2000年亚洲杯的阵容。
Mi Lu finally chose Yang Chen, Su Maozhen, Xie Hui and Qu Shengqing. Later, Yang Chen, Su Maozhen, and Xie Hui all became the forwards of Mi Lu leading the team to the World Cup.
姚夏无缘中场阵容
Yao Xia is the main midfielder of the National Football 97 Top 10 Tournament and a representative figure of Sichuan Quanxing. However, in the 2000 Asian Cup, Milou still preferred to choose younger players to experience. At that time, the younger generation such as Shen Si, Qi Hong, Zhao Junzhe, and Shao Jiayi had grown up! Therefore, Milu did not have no signs Yao Xia.
李霄鹏祁宏仅替补
Li Xiaopeng, who soared to the top ten in 2001, was selected into the Asian Cup squad by Milu by virtue of the Taishan double championship in 99. But Li Xiaopeng did not get a place at that time, because the competition for the midfield position was fierce. It wasn't until the top ten in 2001, because of Li Ming's injury and absence, that Li Xiaopeng got the chance to start, and scored the first goal in 3 minutes, becoming the most magical "one-goal fame" in the history of national football.
Qi Hong was also a substitute in the 2000 Asian Cup, but he shone in the Asian Cup, and he also won the main position in the 2001 top 10 match, scoring 3 goals and becoming the top scorer in the top 10 match.
