In preparation for the third stage of the Qatar World Preliminaries Asian region, which is about to kick off in early September, and the top 12 matches, the Chinese men’s football team plans to concentrate in Shanghai on August 17 and then go to Doha, Qatar, to prepare for the first round of the top 12 matches. An away game against Australia and the second round at home against Japan.
The national football coaching team headed by Li Tie, after investigating the first stage of the Chinese Super League just concluded, delineated a new training session of 31 people, which is the list of players in the first stage of the top 12. Guo Tianyu, Gao Zhunyi, Zhu Chenjie and other young players who have performed well in the recent professional leagues are recruited into the team. Although the two naturalized players, Fernando and Li Ke, were missed due to injuries, the Guangzhou naturalized attacker Luo Guofu returned to the team with his recent performance in the league.
Comparing the lineups of the top 40 national football teams, the lineup for the top 12 national football teams has undergone a certain degree of change, and the number of participants has also increased significantly. This is mainly because the team is affected by factors such as the epidemic and faces long-term training, competition, and life in a closed environment for the next 4 months. In the event of an accident such as injury or illness during the game, the coaching staff can promptly recruit suitable candidates from the candidate players who will be with the team.
According to the calendar announced by the AFC, the Qatar World Preliminary 12 finals in Asia will kick off on September 2 this year and will end all 10 rounds on March 29 next year. The Chinese team will play the Australian team in the first round on September 2 and host Japan on September 7. Affected by the epidemic, the Australian team has basically decided to arrange its first round of home match against the Chinese team in Doha, Qatar. For similar reasons, there is still no domestic city confirmed to host the national football home game. Under this circumstance, the Chinese Football Association had to start an alternative competition plan, that is, including Doha, Dubai, UAE, Sharjah and other West Asian cities as the team’s overseas alternative venue cities. Based on various information, the team’s home game against Japan on September 7 is also very likely to be scheduled in Doha.
After the concentration of the National Football Team, it is likely to be affected by the epidemic and have been in a closed training and competition environment for a long time. Some players may suffer accidental injuries during the long period of preparation and competition. In addition, the Chinese team will participate in home and away matches during the top 12 matches. Considering that the team may face limited international travel conditions, complicated immigration procedures, and severe epidemic prevention situation during this process, the coaching staff decided to appropriately increase the capacity of the top 12 national team after communicating with all parties. The lineup for this training session has finally increased from about 27 in the previous period to 31.
Although most of the nationals selected for this training squad are faces that fans are familiar with. However, there is still some novelty in the recruitment work. Among them, the entry of young players represented by Guo Tianyu and Gao Zhunyi can be said to be highly anticipated. In the just-concluded first stage of the Guangzhou Division of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan and Guangzhou ranked the top two in the division’s standings. Guo Tianyu and Micro Motion from the two clubs were “one after the other” and were the most shining “two stars” in the first stage of the league.
Guo Tianyu (first from left)
Affected by the epidemic, the Taishan team lacked strong foreign aid support on the front line this year. Under the background of Fellaini’s occasional guest striker, Guo Tianyu became the absolute main candidate for the center of the Taishan team. As the Taishan team scored twice in the final game of the first stage of the Super League on the evening of August 11, Guo Tianyu has played in all 14 rounds in this stage, including 12 first appearances and surrendered an excellent answer sheet of 8 goals. .
In fact, Guo Tianyu’s name has appeared in the national football world preliminaries before the top 40 matches. However, due to his relative lack of experience in international competitions at that time, the league data needs to be improved. After the first stage of the league, his continued good state deeply moved Li Tie, and it was reasonable to be selected for the national team.
Micro Motion is not a newcomer in the absolute sense of the national football team. But relatively speaking, he has the most outstanding league performance this season. In the first 14 rounds of the Chinese Super League, Micro Motion missed only 2 rounds, and the remaining 12 games made his debut, and he was given 2 goals and 2 assists. He was a veritable “guard with a knife”. Like Wang Shenchao of the Seaport team, Micro Motion has excellent personal skills, fast speed, and both offensive and defensive capabilities, and can serve as left and right full backs and central defenders respectively. Tomorrow, with Tang Miao missing due to injuries, his selection will undoubtedly make up for the team’s vacancy in the full-back position, and even enrich the personnel reserve for this position.
Zhu Chenjie
After returning from his injury, Zhu Chenjie represented the Shanghai Shenhua team as a starter in all the games after the restart of the first stage of the Super League. Judging from only 2 yellows, he has continued his previous “young and mature” style as a central defender. In fact, before Li Tie took charge, Zhu Chenjie was hand-picked by the famous coach Lippi and participated in the first half of the top 40 as the main force of the national football team. His return to the team is also a normal category.
It is worth noting that this year, the striker Button, who was loaned to the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers by the Guoan Club this year, and Wang Qiuming from the Hebei team, both were selected for the first time in the national team under Li Tiezhi. Although they have different technical characteristics, they have one thing in common, that is, their fighting spirit is commendable.
As for the selection of personnel in other positions, the overall change is not large. The two naturalized players, Fernando and Li Ke, were absent. They were unable to represent the club team to participate in the professional league for a long time because of both injuries. It is difficult for them to return to their ideal competitive state in the short term. Since the preparations for the top 12 competition are facing many practical difficulties, Li Tie obviously will not risk assigning precious spots to the injured. By the end of the first stage of the Super League Guangzhou team, Luo Guofu has played 9 times in total. Although he has appeared on the bench as a substitute these 9 times, in the limited playing time, Luo Guofu is in a state of bravery, scoring 3 goals in total. It is worth noting that Luo Guofu’s figure is obviously thinner than before the top 40 games, which is enough to show his high degree of self-discipline in training and life. And Luo Guofu himself is full of desire to represent the national football game. Li Tie naturally has no reason to reject such a player.
Recently, Guangzhou team midfielder Yan Dinghao and Taishan team midfielder Liu Yu were not selected. According to industry analysts, although both of them have outstanding technical abilities, the national football coaching staff has been both in the process of selecting the national team. It is necessary to consider individual abilities, as well as the overall needs of the team’s technical and tactical play. From this point of view, the choice of the coaching staff is understandable. And Li Tie has repeatedly emphasized that the gate of the national team is always open to all capable and sincere players who play for the country. The selection of personnel for the national team is always dynamic.
With 8 people selected, the Guangzhou team has become the largest player in the national football training team in this period. Guoan and Taishan each have 6 players selected, closely behind. Judging from the composition of the current national football training list, Li Tiezheng has consciously accelerated the “blood renewal” of the national football. On the one hand, the national football team needs to enrich the talent pool in the next major competitions; on the other hand, the current level of Chinese football and player skills is significantly lower than that of other top Asian teams. Accelerating the youth of the team is actually for the team. Inject more “nutrients”. The influx of more young players can at least keep the national football team in the top 12.
Attached is a list of 31 national football players:
Exon, Liu Dianzuo, Alan, Wei Shihao, Jiang Guangtai, Zhang Linpeng, Gao Zhunyi, Luo Guofu, Yu Dabao, Zhang Xizhe, Chi Zhongguo, Li Lei, Zhang Yuning, Wang Gang, Yan Junling, Wang Shenchao, Li Ang, Jin Jingdao, Wu Xing Han, Wang Dalei, Liu Binbin, Xu Xin, Guo Tianyu, Wu Xi, Zhu Chenjie, Yin Hongbo, Wang Qiuming, Button, Hao Junmin, Dong Chunyu, Wu LeiReturn to Sohu to see more
