After successive warm-up victories against Shenzhen and Zhejiang, the Chinese men's national football team, which is preparing for the fifth and sixth rounds of the Round of 12, began to adjust its personnel. It is reported that Wei Shihao, Guo Tianyu, Yin Hongbo and Wang Shangyuan will not follow the Chinese team to West Asia again, and next, there will continue to be players leaving the national football team.
On the afternoon of November 3, the Chinese men's national football team, which was training in Shanghai, played two warm-up matches with domestic club teams in preparation for another trip to West Asia to play against Oman and Australia. It is worth mentioning that these two games are played on the "front and back feet", and the interval between the two games is only ten minutes. In the first match, guo enough to send the main squad defeated the Chinese Super League team Shenzhen 3-0. In the second game, the national football team sent a lineup dominated by substitute players and defeated the Chinese League A team Zhejiang team 2-1. It is worth mentioning that in this game, Barton from the Jinmen Tigers also scored a goal.
According to the original plan, before the Chinese team goes to West Asia, the team lineup will be "slimmed down". In the previous national football team, in addition to Wu Lei, who stayed overseas, there were 31 people. The reason why the national football team circled such a big list at the beginning was because it was considered that the team had to stay in West Asia for a long time before, and if there was an injury or other situation in the training and competition during this period, it would be very troublesome to temporarily recruit players from The country, simply brought some more players out for emergency.
Now, the next two round of 12 matches that the Chinese team will participate in are played on November 11 and November 16, even if they have no choice but to put the home stadium in Sharjah, UAE, the national football team in West Asia is more than a week, so this time the national football team does not have so many players. At that time, it may only bring 24 to 25 players, plus Wu Lei, who returned from Spain, and it should not be a problem for the national football team to use this group of players to cope with the next two games.
According to Beijing Youth Daily, after the warm-up matches against Shenzhen and Zhejiang, the lineup of the Chinese team to go to West Asia began to gradually become clear. At present, there are already four players who have determined that they will not enter the list of the national football team to go west again, they are Wei Shihao, Guo Tianyu, Yin Hongbo and Wang Shangyuan. These four people did not have the opportunity to go on the expedition, and they also had their own reasons.
In an interview with the AFC earlier, Wei Shihao also pointed to the 2022 Qatar World Cup
First of all, Wang Shangyuan took a leave of absence because of something at home. It is reported that Wang Shangyuan took leave because his wife Lu Yao was about to give birth, Wang Shangyuan and his wife were about to usher in their second child, and on November 4, Lu Yao also posted photos on Weibo. In view of the fact that Wang Shangyuan did not play in the national football match, it was natural to go home and take care of his wife.
Like Wang Shangyuan, Yin Hongbo also left the team on leave, but the reason for his leave of absence is not currently known to the outside world. In fact, Yin Hongbo's presence in the first four rounds of the national football round of 12 is not strong. In the match against Australia and Japan, Yin Hongbo made appearances, but his performance was average. After that, against Vietnam and Saudi Arabia, Yin Hongbo never got a chance to play again. At present, Yin Hongbo's position is indeed more awkward, on defense, he does not have the interception ability of Chi Zhongguo's pure back, and on the offensive organization, it is not as good as Arthur Junmin. In midfield, he is not an indispensable figure.
As for the departure of the two attacking players Wei Shihao and Guo Tianyu, it may make fans feel a little surprised and pity. In the Chinese Super League, Wei Shihao and Guo Tianyu performed more eye-catchingly, but they had few opportunities in the first four rounds of the round of 12. Wei Shihao's left attack is quite sharp, but in the national football team, his pick is after Wu Xinghan and Alan, and against the Australian team, Wei Shihao's substitute appearance has created great pressure on the opponent's defense, but after the match against Vietnam, Wei Shihao's play can only be said to be average. At the same time, defense has always been his soft underbelly. In the top 12 level of the game, Wei Shihao, a player who is strong in attack and defense on the wing and does not have the ability to change the game, is difficult to reuse. Coupled with Wei Shihao's well-known temper, the continuous inability to get the opportunity to play may make his state worse. In contrast, the reason for Guo Tianyu's lack of playing opportunities is more clear, that is, he and Zhang Yuning's types are too similar, so that they do not get even a minute of playing time, plus the national football front line and Wu Lei and naturalized players, Guo Tianyu may not have many opportunities behind him.
Then again, the national football team has suddenly gone two offensive players, so will Barton, who has just scored a goal in the warm-up game, stay in the national football team? Now, although Wei Shihao and Guo Tianyu are gone, there are still many options on the offensive line of the national football team, and at the same time, the team is still interested in recruiting Zheng Zheng and Ji Xiang to strengthen the defense. If the original plan of only 24 or 5 people is followed, the lineup of the national football team will be further reduced, and there is still a high probability that players who have played less time before will leave the team. Specific to Barton, if he can stay in the national football team where this personnel has been reduced, it means that the coaching staff still values him, and his chances of playing for the national football team will also be greatly increased. If Barton is adjusted to the national football team, there is no need to be depressed, he has used this half a year to prove his strength, and then he can return to the Jinmen Tigers to participate in the whole team training to prepare for the relegation battle in December. This is also very beneficial for the Jinmen Tigers.
