Because in the 19th round of the Chinese Super League against Beijing Guoan, he started and assisted Deng Hanwen to score the only goal of the game. The Guangzhou team’s executive coach and captain Zheng Zhizhong has recently become more and more calling for the national team to participate in the top 12. However, Zheng Zhi’s participation in the top 12 matches just sounds beautiful, and he may not be able to play on behalf of the national team again.
In the battle of Jing Sui, due to the fact that the Guangzhou team had more casualties in the midfield, Zheng Zhi had to start as the captain and was replaced after 60 minutes. This is Zheng Zhi’s first game after serving as the executive head coach of the Guangzhou team. In the game, Zheng Zhi still showed a good overall view and predictive ability, and organized the Guangzhou team’s midfield organization in an orderly manner. Zheng Zhi’s passing awareness level is still the best among players on the field, and the only goal in the game is his passing. Because of this, after that game, there was an increasing demand on the Internet that he should return to the national team and represent the national football team in the top 12 games. However, in the 20th round, Zheng Zhi did not continue to play, he directed the whole game from the coaching bench.
Due to the lack of salary of the Guangzhou Football Club and his role as the executive head coach of the team, Zheng Zhi has not been systematically trained for a long time, and his physical fitness cannot guarantee a 90-minute high-intensity game. However, the 41-year-old Zheng Zhi still has a better sense of football and the feeling of the game is still there. Some voices believe that the national team needs Zheng Zhi to hold the line when several naturalized nationals may find it difficult to return to the team.
The new head coach of the national team, Li Xiaopeng, has been in the Guangzhou Division recently, watching games in various stadiums and inspecting the players’ status.It is reported that Li Xiaopeng has communicated with Zheng Zhi in Guangzhou, but the content of the two exchanges is mostly about the situation of the Guangzhou team players, Li Xiaopeng did not issue an invitation to Zheng Zhi to return to the national team.In fact, although Zheng Zhi still has the desire to play for the country, from the long-term construction of the national team, he is obviously not the future of the national team. For Li Xiaopeng and his national football team in the remaining four rounds of the top 12, it is a more practical idea for Li Xiaopeng and his national football team to focus on the long-term, rebuild the technical and tactical system and even discover new players.
However, Li Xiaopeng’s national team coaching team has not been announced so far, and it also leaves unlimited room for imagination. Unlike his predecessor, Li Tie, Li Xiaopeng’s personal relationship with Zheng Zhi is very good. In 2005, Zheng Zhi transferred from Shenzhen Jianlibao to Shandong Luneng. When Zheng Zhi arrived in Jinan, it was Li Xiaopeng who drove to pick him up, which greatly helped Zheng Zhi integrate into the Shandong Luneng team. It can be seen that the relationship between the two is very close. During his time at Shandong Luneng, Li Xiaopeng also took care of Zheng Zhi, his eldest brother. Today, Zheng Zhi, who has also embarked on the position of coach, still has a lot to learn from Li Xiaopeng. If Zheng Zhi can enter the coaching staff of the national team, it will benefit his personal growth as a coach, and also help manage the Guangzhou players in the national team, and even facilitate the relationship with several naturalized players. Communication.
The new national team will be concentrated in mid-to-early January next year to prepare for the two top 12 matches against Japan on January 27 and Vietnam on February 1. The new list of the national football training camp will be announced soon. Whether Zheng Zhizhi enters Li Xiaopeng’s coaching staff, let us wait and see.Return to Sohu to see more
