With 6 days to go, the Chinese men's soccer team, known as the strongest national football team in recent years, will usher in 4 key games that will determine the fate. If all 4 games are won, it will successfully enter the round of 12, laying a firm foundation for the impact of World Cup qualification. If you lose any of the matches, you will most likely miss the Qatar World Cup finals. Today, the national football team released a poster with head coach Li Tie as the creative core " Unity is iron, fight for the country" . It indicates that all the players selected for the national football team will unite and fight for the World Cup dream of Chinese football.
Since Li Tie took over the national football coaching whip, he has always instilled the spirit of patriotism, unity and hard work in the team. Let this national team have new vitality and become a new hope for fans. In order to let the fans see the desired results, after Li Tie became the head coach of the national team, he recruited almost all the players with national team strength in many trainings, hoping to find the most reasonable staffing. However, there is a strong veteran who has played for the national football team for 16 years, who is excluded by him. The veteran is the 40-year-old veteran who is known as the first person in Chinese football: Zheng Zhi.
When it comes to Zheng Zhi, there is always a small number of fans who like to call him the villain of football. However, in the eyes of many world-class coaches, he is the strongest king of Chinese football. Brazilian football godfather Scolari called Zheng Zhi a dream player and captain, Silver Fox Lippi said he was a player in the main level of the top league in Serie A, Pardu said that his difference from Benayoun was just a passport, Tuba regarded him as the highest level player in Asia, and Milu also lamented in 2005 why such a top player did not appear in 2001, otherwise it must be the core of the Top 10. Arihan gave a better evaluation, even on a par with Beckenbauer.
In an interview with domestic media, AliHan expressed his views on Zheng Zhi. He believes that Zheng Zhi will become the best center-back in the world if he keeps playing center-back, and compares it to world superstar Beckenbauer. It is said that Beckenbauer also played in midfield before, but only became a superstar after changing to playing free agents in the backcourt. And Zheng Zhi also has everything in the position of playing center-back in Arihan's view. Able to understand football, strong head ability, left and right foot balance, excellent position sense, strong defensive ability, in Arihan's view, Zheng Zhi is a natural center-back, with the most top skills and qualities in this position.
However, for most of the time, Zheng Zhi still chose to play in midfield. Even so, whether in the domestic league or in European football, he is the absolute core of the team's midfield. Today, at the age of 40, he can still withstand such a high-intensity game as the Chinese Super League, and even sometimes make the young players in their early 20s on the pitch sigh to themselves, as a professional player can also be regarded as a success. Because of this, many fans have also called on Li Tie to bring this veteran who is the same age to the national team in case of emergency. After all, there is an old treasure in the family!
