All the matches in the first stage of the Chinese Super League are coming to an end. Next, the most important task of Chinese football this year is that Li Tie leads the national football team to the top 12 Asian World Cup qualifiers.
Because of the need to make way for the national football team to participate in the top 12 matches, the Chinese Football Association has compressed a total of 9 games from the 5th to the 14th round of the first stage of the Chinese Super League in 4 weeks to complete. The national football coaching staff has passed this stage of the league. The selection of “newcomers” is not realistic. Judging from the current list of 31 players selected by the national football team, two-thirds of the players were retained compared to the top 40. Those who lose the election are mainly affected by injuries, such as Tang Miao, Fernando, and Li Ke. Only Wang Qiuming and Patton were selected for the national football for the first time. The others returned to the national football after recovering from injury or improving their physical condition.
The Guangzhou team was selected as the first major exporter with 8 people, of which the 4 major naturalized nationals are from the Guangzhou team. Since the rematch of the first stage of the Chinese Super League, the Guangzhou team’s offensive firepower has topped the Chinese Super League. Exxon currently ranks first in the Super League scorer list with 11 goals. Alan has scored and assisted. They have joined the offensive end of the National Football Team in the top 12 matches. Whether the power can really break out is undoubtedly a big thing. As for Luo Guofu, he faded out of the national football team last year due to his physical decline. However, he succeeded in losing weight this season, but he performed outstandingly after his return in the league. Li Tie also directly recruited him into the national football team.
In terms of local internationals, Guo Tianyu and Xu Xin from Shandong Taishan are the outstanding performances of the Super League in the past period. Guo Tianyu ranked first in the Chinese Super League’s local scorer list with 8 goals. Xu Xin has amazing performances on both offensive and defensive ends of the midfield. These will all become new weapons in the next stage of the National Football Team’s preparation for the top 12 matches. And Wei Shihao, Yin Hongbo and Zhang Yuning played very well in the Super League in this stage. After the return of Wu Lei, the offensive end of the national football team can currently arrange a variety of combinations around the above players, which is expected to make the national football team have a certain degree of competitiveness in the top 12.
Now, the biggest problem preparing for the top 12 matches is the choice of the home field against Japan in September. According to the arrangement, on August 19th, the National Football Team will focus on Shanghai for training, and then on September 2nd and 7th, they will challenge Australia and Japan first. Previously, the national football team had always regarded Shanghai as the first choice for the home of the top 12 matches. However, according to the current domestic epidemic prevention policy, the national football team in the first round of the top 12 match must be quarantined for 14 days after returning from an away game against the Australian team, which will not be able to proceed to the second round as scheduled. The game against the Japanese team. To this end, the Chinese Football Association must refer to the experience of the top 40 matches and put the home court in the “third place.”
At present, Australia has decided to put the home stadium of the top 12 games abroad due to the epidemic prevention policy. They have declared to Qatar that they hope to put their home stadium in Doha. The most ideal way for the Chinese Football Association is to also put the “home field” against the Japanese team on September 7 in Doha, so that after they have played against the Australian team in Doha in the first round, they can stay in place and wait for the Japanese team to come to the game.
Although the national football team will not be able to play in the country in September, with the experience of the top 40, going to a West Asian country like Doha as the “home stadium” is no stranger to the internationals, and it also has a psychological advantage. Qatar is the host country of next year’s World Cup. Doha currently has sufficient competition and training facilities, which does not present an obstacle to preparation for the national football team.
If there are no surprises, the Chinese Football Association will finalize the decision to move the home stadium westward in September before the start of the Shanghai National Football Team. For Li Tie, getting the players to accept this change psychologically as soon as possible is more important than the preparation of skills and tactics.Return to Sohu to see more
