On the afternoon of January 7, the Chinese men's football team announced the list of 52 people for training. Coach Li Xiaopeng will select about 25 of these 52 people to compete in the Asian Round of 12 of the World Preliminary Tournament on January 27 and February 1 (against Japan and Vietnam). In this 52-man roster of the national football team, a total of 6 goalkeepers were selected:
Liu Dianzuo of Guangzhou, Hou Sen of Beijing Guoan, Yan Junling of Shanghai Harbor, Wang Dalei, champion goalkeeper of Taishan in Shandong, Han Jiaqi of Guangzhou City, and Wang Zhifeng of Wuhan team.
Wang Dalei
In the big list for the round of 12, the national football team will report 3 goalkeepers. This means that there are 3 goalkeepers who are just "sparring". I have to say that this is an extremely cruel choice. We refer to the football data website SofaScore, which is measured from 4 indicators to see which 3 are the most suitable goalkeepers in theory.
Season rating: Han Jiaqi MVP, Wang Dalei at the bottom
In the 2021 Chinese Super League, Han Jiaqi's rating was 7.39 points, ranking first among goalkeepers; Yan Junling 7.18 points, Wang Zhifeng 6.95 points, Hou Sen 6.94 points, Liu Dianzuo 6.85 points, and Wang Dalei 6.78 points.
Number of saves: Han Jiaqi is 1st, Wang Dalei is at the bottom
Han Jiaqi of Guangzhou City completed 97 saves; Hou Sen 70 times, Yan Junling 58 times, Wang Zhifeng 54 times, Liu Dianzuo 34 times, and Wang Dalei 30 times.
Save success rate: Yan Junling ranked 1st
Yan Junling averaged 2.9 saves per game, with a success rate of 83%; Han Jiaqi averaged 4.6 saves per game, with a success rate of 78%; Hou Sen averaged 3.2 saves per game, with a success rate of 71%; Liu Dianzuo averaged 1.8 saves per game, with a success rate of 71%; Wang Zhifeng averaged 3 saves per game, with a success rate of 69%; wang Dalei averaged 1.5 saves per game, with a success rate of 68%.
Clean sheets: Yan Junling 1st, Wang Zhifeng at the bottom
Yan Junling played 10 games, Wang Dalei 9 games, Liu Dianzuo 8 games, Hou Sen 7 games, Han Jiaqi 6 games, and Wang Zhifeng 3 games.
Number of times the ball was picked: Han Jiaqi was 1st, and Liu Dian was at the bottom
In the opponent's crosses, the goalkeeper picked up the high ball 16 times, Hou Sen 14 times, Wang Zhifeng 12 times, Yan Junling 8 times, Wang Dalei 7 times, and Liu Dianzuo 3 times.
If only from the performance of the 2021 season, Han Jiaqi deserves to be selected for the final roster. Of course, the performance of goalkeepers cannot be completely measured by data, such as aura, psychological quality, game experience, etc. From this point of view, Yan Junling, Liu Dianzuo, and Wang Dalei will be favored. The best goalkeeper Han Jiaqi will most likely miss the big list of the round of 12.
