As of today, the national football team has played four round of twelve matches, scoring a total of three points, temporarily ranking fifth in the group. Three of the games were lost to Australia, Japan and Saudi Arabia, the only victory came from a 3-2 victory over Vietnam, but also won an extremely difficult, in fact, if it were not for Wu Lei's kill, then the national football team may only get one point.
In the past four games, the most criticized by the national football team is not the level of players, although such as Zhang Xizhe, Yu Dabao and others have also been widely criticized, but the head coach Li Tie's platoon is the most criticized by fans.
Fans, including a number of celebrities, have shouted that they can't understand, why did the Football Association introduce many naturalized players under great pressure, and these naturalized players were also brought to the national football list in these issues, in the case that they are not injured, why not use it? Especially Luo Guofu and Alain, compared to the large number of playing hours of Axon and Jiang Guangtai, the performance opportunities of the two of them are quite limited, and many relevant people in the domestic football industry are uneven for them.
But at the same time, some people expressed support for Li Tie's employment, including the famous commentator Dong Lu, who bluntly said in a live broadcast: Luo Guofu is not strong enough, who makes Luo Guofu on the person who does not understand the ball!
Dong Lu's remarks did not cause an uproar at the beginning, but in the match between the national football team and Saudi Arabia, Luo Guofu just came on as a substitute and used a wonderful world wave to help the national football team to win back a city, and also played a bright role in the remaining matches, and even got the affirmation of the opponent.
After the game, angry fans not only angrily sprayed head coach Li Tieyou on major platforms that naturalized players were not used, which belonged to the death of face and suffered, but also incidentally scolded Dong Lu on the hot search. There is no doubt that Luo Guofu and Alain are not as bad as everyone thinks, and Axon and Jiang Guangtai are not as good as everyone thinks, but their personal ability is definitely stronger than that of domestic players in the same position, if Li Tie still uses people like this, the next game of the national football team is also very difficult.
Fortunately, close to the pre-match against Oman on November 11, there was good news from the national football team. According to the article of Ma Dexing of Sports Weekly, before the national football team set out to conquer Oman, he first played two warm-up matches with Shenzhen and Zhejiang, of which Alain and Luo Guofu both made their debuts against Shenzhen, and the two also scored a goal each, which was in very good shape.
In addition, the reporter also stressed that Luo Guofu and Alain are not only in quite good shape, but also have a very positive attitude, especially Luo Guofu, who obviously has no physical strength in the end, but is still trying his best to grab the ball. It can be seen that naturalized players not only do not have a sense of belonging as the outside world says, but they are also very eager to prove themselves, which should also be enlightening for domestic players.
The article pointed out that the national football start against Shenzhen is likely to continue to be used against Oman a few days later. And Luo Guofu and Alain, whose attitude and ability have been recognized by many professionals, are likely to get a long-lost starting opportunity. For the two, this is the best time for them to prove themselves in front of Li Tie.
Compared with the last round of twelve, this time the national football team scored three points in the same period, which is already stronger than the last time. In the end, the national football team almost qualified for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in the top twelve, I believe that this time as long as Li Tie adjusts in time, the follow-up national football team still has the theoretical possibility of obtaining the top two. Even if you can't surpass the top three of Australia, Saudi Arabia and Japan to squeeze into the top two and directly qualify, then you should at least try to get the third place in the group and get the opportunity to participate in the play-offs.
Come on, national football!
