Sohu Sports News, on July 4th, Beijing time, the East Asia Cup is about to start later this month. The issue of how the Chinese men’s football team should form a team has recently caused controversy. According to media reports, for the recruitment of international players to participate in the East Asia Cup, the Ministry of State Administration directly sent the notice to the players, but did not notify the clubs. Some players and clubs were resistant to the recruitment.
In this East Asian Cup, the Chinese men’s football team will face South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong, China. The national football team has not participated in any competitions since the World Preliminaries ended, resulting in a drop in the international ranking. Therefore, it is understood that this East Asian Cup, the national team The team has increased the number of over-age players in the lineup to five, and defeating Hong Kong, China has become a hard indicator. The main reason is to get more points and improve the FIFA ranking of the national football team, so as to take more initiative in the next competition group. .
In order to play this event well, build strength for the Asian Games and next year’s Asian Cup, and strive for favorable conditions for competition, the team’s coaching staff will focus on recruiting “overaged international players” to focus on Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Yuning, Jiang Guangtai, and Tan Long. 5 people. A few days ago, the Ministry of State Administration issued a notice of recruitment to the international footballers. It is understood that the notice was issued directly to the international footballers, but did not pass the club. According to the preliminary feedback, some players and clubs are still resistant to the recruitment, because There are still preparations for recruiting U23 players alone, but the recruiting of over-aged international clubs is still unwilling to accept it.
Regarding the direct notification of the players by the Ministry of State Management, media person Li Xuan said: “I have indeed heard more than one club say that it may be that the players need to apply for a visa, and the players are directly notified to apply for a visa, but not all those who apply for visas go to the East Asia Cup. This is probably the reason. Some clubs that don’t understand are very angry, thinking that if they communicate directly with the players, the players will not dare to say that I don’t want to go, and then communicate with the club again. If the club does not agree, it will form an embarrassing situation. .”
The East Asian Cup will officially start on July 19, and the first stage of the Chinese Super League will end on July 12. The 10th round of the Chinese Super League match of some international football clubs will end on the 11th, so the national football team that went to Japan to participate in the competition will end on the 11th. The “mixed” team will be formed on the 12th. This East Asian Cup was originally hosted by China, but due to the impact of the epidemic, the Chinese Football Association had to give up the right to host this East Asian Cup. Since this year is the year of the World Cup, both teams from Japan and South Korea intend to use this East Asian Cup to inspect the national team’s substitutes and marginal players to determine the final list for the Qatar World Cup. The competition level and competitiveness of this East Asian Cup are quite impressive.
After repeated training sessions and long-term isolation in the top 12, the national football team has experienced severe mental fatigue. If he goes to Japan to participate in the East Asia Cup, he will face a life of isolation for more than 20 days back and forth, so the resistance is understandable. However, for the “mixed” national football team, the team formation time is short, the players are resistant, the opponents (Japan, South Korea) are relatively strong, and there is a high probability of losing the first two games of the East Asia Cup. Under the circumstances, how much enthusiasm can the players mobilize to face Hong Kong, China, and what kind of state the “mixed” national football team can show when the hard goal must defeat the opponent, we have to put a big question mark.
