As November approaches, the Round of 12 is about to reignite. Fans who pay attention to the national football match should know that because they only won 1 game in the first 4 rounds, the Chinese team's qualifying situation has been very passive. In the next match against Oman, the national football team must score 3 points in order not to be thrown too far away by the opponents in the same group, so the bottom line of the national football team is to win 1-0, draw or lose, basically declaring that the national football team will be out of luck with the World Cup in advance!
Due to the poor record of the coaching team, the national football coach Li Tie has recently been bombarded by countless media and fans, and his platoon arrangement and on-the-spot adjustment have been questioned, among which one of the most attacking places for him is the use of naturalized players.
As we all know, in order to help the national football team enter the World Cup, the Chinese Football Association officially introduced a naturalization policy in 2019, and many eligible Brazilian players turned into Chinese and were successfully selected for the national team. But under Li Tie, these naturalized internationals were not reused, only Axon and Jiang Guangtai won more playing time, and Alain and Luo Guofu were firmly nailed to the bench.
In the second half of the game against Saudi Arabia, the three naturalized players in the national football team finally joined for the first time, and their appearance did create a huge threat to the opponent's defense line, and helped the national football team score two goals, almost allowing the Chinese team to grab points from the Saudi Devil's home. Seeing that the naturalized players were in such a good state, many media and fans began to question Li Tie after the game, why not put these players in the starting lineup, but let them waste time on the bench?
I believe that after this game, Li Tie should have a clearer understanding of the use of naturalized players, and if the national football team wants to score goals, it must rely on their ability, so it is necessary to give them more playing time. However, this is not in line with Li Tie's past employment habits, he seems to pay more attention to the team's offensive and defensive balance, and once the naturalized international football players all start, the national football team will definitely be "top-heavy", and the loopholes in the back line will be exposed more! For Li Tie, this is undoubtedly a difficult choice, is it to comply with the opinions of the majority of fans and include all naturalized players in the starting lineup? Or stick to their own philosophy and continue to put them on the bench, which needs To be decided by Li Tie himself.
In addition, the performance of Wu Lei, the number one star of the national football team, has also recently given Li Tie a headache, after entering 2021, Wu Lei has not scored a goal in the league, and the ball famine has lasted for 326 days. Moreover, when the national football team plays against the strong team, Wu Lei's role is not prominent, so many people in China have begun to call for Wu Lei to sit on the bench, and then send him to the second half, which may have a miraculous effect. But Wu Lei is after all the "hope of the whole village", and for Li Tie, if he is put on the bench, he will undoubtedly have to bear a lot of pressure. If the national football team does not achieve the desired result, then all the guilt will be borne by Li Tie, and his coaching position may not be guaranteed!
According to the arrangement, the national football team will resume training at the end of this month and officially start a new round of preparation. At present, the home of the national football team has not yet been finalized, whether to play in the country or continue to expedition to West Asia, Li Tie is also anxiously waiting. For Chinese players and fans, playing in China is naturally the best result, the venue, climate players are more adaptable, fans will also be scheduled in prime time, unlike in West Asia, everyone has to stay up until the early hours of the morning to watch the live broadcast. If there is no accident, the CCTV5 sports channel will still be broadcast live in these two rounds, and I hope that the soldiers of the national football team can bring good news to the fans!
