There is not much time left for the Chinese team.
With only 20 days to go until the Sino-Japanese battle on January 27, the "Li Xiaopeng Phase I" national football training is about to set sail at the Century Park Training Ground in Pudong, Shanghai. Although the training list has not yet been announced, according to media reports, the national football team will circle a large list of close to 50 people, of which the former goalkeeper Zeng Cheng is expected to return to the national team.
The national football team did not qualify for the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the remaining four games have become just a formality, in order to prepare for the Sino-Japanese battle on January 27 and the two games away to Vietnam on the first day of the New Year, the national football team actually drummed up a 50-person training roster, plus there were as many as 7 former internationals joining the coaching staff, and I don't know the bottom line to think that the national football team is preparing for the World Cup.
"Li Xiaopeng Phase I" national football training will begin in Shanghai on January 10, it is reported that there will be about 50 players gathered on the beach, in addition to the familiar old faces, there are also some newcomers to join, such as Beijing Guoan team's Gao Tianyi, Guangzhou team Yan Dinghao and so on. Former main goalkeeper Zeng Cheng will also return to the national team.
In addition to the huge training list, the list of coaching staff can be described as star-studded, which is unprecedented. It is understood that a number of former internationals from different periods have entered the list, including Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, Zhao Junzhe, Li Jinyu, Li Leilei, Sun Xiang, Sun Jihai and so on. Such a teaching assistant lineup is also unique in the history of national football.
In fact, Li Xiaopeng is not unaware that in recent years, there are only a few people who can stand firm on the national team list, who have a few pounds and a few pairs of Li guidance. The selection of international footballers, although it is not a "good voice of China" audition, must be operated in this way, both good for the above and for the bottom.
Chinese football lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of people. We are not advocating the phrase "many people are powerful", then a 50-person training team and a coaching team of up to 7 or 8 people will scare you to death of the little Japanese and Vietnamese teams. How bold man is, how productive the land is. Unfortunately, playing football is not bold, but also have to use strength to speak, maybe in the face of the strength of the Japanese team to crush their own, the national football team was first frightened.
"Beijing Youth Daily" reporter Xiao Zhao complained on Weibo: "The huge estimate of the lineup is beyond the imagination! Another media person, Uncle Perry, left a message saying: "The national team, and not the production team, why do so many people do it?" Xiao Zhao replied, "God knows."
I also want to know, what does the national football team want to do with such a big battle?
