Yesterday, Vietnamese media Dan Tri wrote an article on the topic of "how terrifying the strength of the Chinese team is" to analyze the naturalized players and domestic players of the national football team, and believes that the age of the national football team is a major problem.
The article called realizing the dream of participating in the 2022 World Cup, the Chinese national team did not hesitate to naturalize many foreign players (especially Brazil), they are definitely strong opponents. The Chinese team was out of the way in the first half of the 2022 World Cup Qualifier Round of 40. However, after adding more naturalized players with strength, they really "degenerated" in the second half.
At present, the Chinese team has 5 naturalized players: Li Ke, Axon, Alan, Fernando and Jiang Guangtai. In particular, Jiang Guangtai, Li Ke, Axon and Alain form a dangerous central axis. The most famous is striker Axon, who scored four goals in the Round of 40. It is expected that in the near future, the Chinese team will naturalize more strikers like Kaldek, which will be a significant improvement in the quality of players. In the past, Alain Kaldek was called up to Brazil's qualifiers for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but was ultimately excluded.
Although the level of Chinese domestic players does not dare to compliment, they still have some players worth mentioning, especially Wu Lei. Wu Lei has played for Espanyol since 2019 and spent 3 seasons here (2 la liga seasons, 1 la liga season). He is China's top scorer, scoring eight goals in the Round of 40. In addition, the Chinese team also has many high-level veterans, such as center-back Zhang Linpeng, Yu Dabao, midfielder Wu Xi, Zhang Xizhe and so on.
In 2019, Vietnam U22 beat China U22 2-0. But keep in mind that China U22 currently does not have any players in the national team (note: Zhang Yuning has entered the national team). Therefore, that game did not measure the strength of the two national teams. However, the Chinese team is not without weaknesses, according to statistics, the average age of the Chinese team has reached 30.3 years old (the highest among the 12 teams participating in the 12 finals of the 2022 World Preliminary Round).
Therefore, the Chinese team is afraid of strong opponents. Chinese media have already mentioned the difficulty of playing syria in the 2022 Fifai qualifier Round of 40. They acknowledged that Syria's physical strength is a major difficulty for the home team. So if you want to beat China, the Vietnamese team needs to be very well prepared. Head coach Park Hyun-suk said after the draw: "The team that entered the third round of the qualifiers was very skilled, tactical and fighting spirit. Therefore, I think Vietnamese players need to have better physical fitness, better spirit of play. ”
