In the first four rounds of the round of 12 matches, the Chinese team only scored 3 points, temporarily ranking fifth in Group A, and the gap between Oman and Japan in front of them has reached 3 points; with the strength and state of the Chinese team today, it is only a matter of time before it is eliminated, and we will become the first team in the world to prepare for the 2026 World Cup.
Over the years, China's investment in the field of football is not small, and the money spent can be ranked among the best in the world; we have not only naturalized foreign players such as Luo Guofu, Axon, Alan, Fernando and Jiang Guangtai, but also invited world-class coaches such as Lippi, Eriksen, Scolari, Capello, Benitez and other world-class coaches to coach in China, but unfortunately, the level of Chinese football has not improved in any way, and it has also become the level of the second-rate end of Asia; if it were not for Wu Lei's inspiration in the last moments of the round of 12, We are really on an equal footing with Third-Rate Vietnam in Asia.
For the current Chinese men's football team, the former 85 national youth coach Clauschen said in an interview that the Chinese team lacks talented players, this is because China's youth training is not well built, so they can only rely on naturalized foreign players to solve the problem of talent breakdown; Chen Tao's potential was not worse than Sun Xingyu, but it was a pity that his talent was wasted for various reasons.
In fact, the reason why the national team under Li Tie's guidance gives hope to many fans is not that our domestic players have made rapid progress, but the addition of naturalized players such as Axon, Alan and Luo Guofu; it is a pity that Li Tie's guidance has not given them the corresponding tactical status, making Alain, Luo Guofu and other heroes useless.
Some people explain that Alain, Axon, Luo Guofu and others are not at their peak, and some people think that their physical fitness can only last 70 minutes; but these are words of shirking responsibility, and even if Axon, Alain, Luo Guofu and others are no longer brave, their level is still a notch stronger than that of domestic players. They can only play 70 minutes of good balls, but they can play the starting game to put the Chinese team in an advantageous position, better than giving them only 30 minutes or even 20 minutes to "save their lives"; in general, it is the Chinese coaching staff's mediocre ability, unable to "make the best use of their talents", which caused the national team's dilemma in the top 12.
In the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, as the core of the team's midfield organization, Chen Tao started all four games, scored 3 goals and sent 3 assists, with such an outstanding performance, Chen Tao was selected into the best team of the 2005 World Youth Championship together with Messi and Mikel, so he did not blow it, but really played it. Unfortunately, Chen Tao did not have such a smooth career as Sun Xingyu, when the harsh environment of Chinese football made him invisible, and there was no such eye-catching newcomer in China in recent years.
