Xi’an News Network News In the early morning of March 18, Beijing time, the Chinese football team released official news that after seven and a half hours of flight, the Chinese men’s football national team and the U-23 men’s national football team arrived at 22:30 local time on the 17th. Arrive at The Residence Hotel in Sharjah, UAE. This time the Chinese men’s football team has reached 110 members, which is the largest visiting team in the history of the national football team. However, Wu Lei and 4 Brazilian naturalized players were not called up.
Ozzie, the largest national football country, strikes
In the history of Chinese football, it is normal for a national team to fight on multiple fronts, but it is almost impossible for the national football team and the national Olympics to go to the same venue this time. Departing from Haikou Meilan Airport, the expedition to Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. The total number of national football team and national Olympic team is 108. In addition, Li Lei and Jiang Guangtai who joined the national team in Dubai, the Chinese men’s football delegation on this westward expedition is even more It is as high as 110 people, and the staff size is enough to make history. The national football team and the national Ozzie attacked, but they played different games. The former played in the Asian top 12 in the World Cup qualifiers, while the latter participated in the Dubai Cup.
Compared with the National Olympics’ participation in the Dubai Cup Invitational Tournament, even if the Chinese men’s national football team has no hope of qualifying for the Qatar World Cup, the top 12 in Asia is a real contest after all, so the game will still have a high degree of attention. . Judging from the 25-man list, Wu Lei and 4 Brazilian naturalized players were all missed. Head coach Li Xiaopeng only recruited two positive strikers, Zhang Yuning and Tan Long. Among them, Tan Long still has a toe injury. The attacking power of the Chinese men’s football team is not optimistic. In terms of rejuvenation and transformation, the national football team also has hidden worries. Eight “post-80s” players, Yu Dabao, Hao Junmin, Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng, Zheng Zheng, Wang Dalei, Wang Shenchao, and Tan Long, are listed. Veterans over 30 years old also include Yan Junling, Ji Xiang, Zhang Xizhe, etc. The “newcomers” who are expected to enter the starting lineup, except for Liao Lisheng in 1993, are actually regulars of the national team. With no hope of qualifying, the process of rejuvenating the national football team seems to be a bit slow.
Strategic goals enhance confidence and popularity
The national football team played in the top 12 and the national Olympic team participated in the Dubai Cup. Although the nature of the competition is different, the two teams have the same strategic goal, that is, when Chinese football is at a low point, they must strive to use good performance to enhance Chinese people’s confidence in Chinese football. Go to the arena with hard work to gather popularity. The humiliating loss of the national football world preliminaries to Vietnam has become a joke. All sectors of society take the national football as an example. Chinese football always relies on alternative methods to be searched. It can be said that the entire public opinion environment has pushed Chinese football to the forefront. It is obviously meaningless to fight in this period, and it is more important to go all out to fight, at least to end the top 12 in a decent manner.
According to the schedule of the top 12, the Chinese men’s football team will challenge Saudi Arabia on March 24 and face Oman on March 29. The Asian powerhouse Saudi Arabia still needs points to ensure a direct qualifying. The opponent is very strong and has the desire to score points. The national football team will encounter huge challenges. Let’s not talk about the outcome of the victory or defeat. It is the minimum bottom line to fight for the strong enemy and show a good mental outlook. From the perspective of the Olympic team, the entire team participated in the Dubai Cup against the United Arab Emirates, Thailand and other teams. Although the game is mainly based on training, it should not be careless. After all, Chinese football is currently at a low point, and the external environment is not as good as it is. In the past, the Olympic soldiers also needed to work hard and use their achievements to justify the name of Chinese football at sensitive times.
