The first major game of Chinese football in 2022 is the round of 12 away to Japan, this game is the opening battle of the Chinese men's football team, and it is also the first game of the new coach Li Xiaopeng, the significance needs no more words. At present, the national football team has been training on the beach, and the next team's itinerary has also come out.
The national football team will take a charter flight to Japan on the 23rd, taking into account the local epidemic prevention needs in Japan, the large number of people will be controlled at about 60 people, and the huge training personnel in this period will only choose about 26 people to go to Japan, and the final list at that time will be of concern.
Previously, the national football team gathered a total of 52 people, as well as 15 coaching members, including a number of newcomers and U23 players, which also means that the national football team will alternate between the old and the new, but considering that the first two games of the new year against Japan and Vietnam are the first two games of the new year, the national football team will temporarily slow down the pace of the replacement of the new and old, facing Japan and Vietnam, or mainly old players, and the later game will give the newcomers a chance.
Such a choice can also be fully understood, facing the game of the Japanese team, it is Li Xiaopeng's first game in charge, the opponent is very strong, and with Li Xiaopeng's title of "too defensive", the national football team wins less and wins, and strives for a draw, after all, in the first leg of the game, the national football team only lost 0-1 to the opponent, and this time many of Japan's main players are absent, and the national football team still has the opportunity to grab points.
After playing the Japanese team, the national football team will fly to Vietnam, the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year away to Vietnam, this is a game that can not be lost, get a draw is a shame, after all, the opponent is 6 consecutive defeats, against the Chinese team, it is estimated that it is 7 consecutive defeats (Japan team 7th round against Australia), if the Chinese team draws with Vietnam, it will be the first point of the opponent's 12 rounds.
This is the current situation of the Chinese team in the next two round of 12 matches, facing the Japanese team to win and win 1 point, facing the Vietnamese team is a "battle of honor!" "If you draw or lose to Vietnam, it will be a shame for Chinese football, and Li Xiaopeng is bound to be nailed to the shame column."
In this context, Li Xiaopeng slowed down the renewal of the national football team can also be understood, after playing Japan and Vietnam, the Chinese men's football team hopes to be completely killed, the last 2 games to give young people the opportunity to prepare for 2023, which will be Li Xiaopeng's wise choice.
