In a just-concluded World Preliminary Round of 12 match, the Chinese national football team lost 0-2 to Japan, completely losing hope of qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar. After the match with japan, the national football team rushed to Vietnam non-stop to prepare for the competition with the Vietnamese team. Before the start of the match, some Vietnamese media also analyzed the current situation of the national football team.
Vietnamese media "News Online" recently published a column, arguing that under the leadership of Li Xiaopeng, China's national football team not only did not show progress, but even performed worse than the period led by Li Tie.
Although Li Xiaopeng is also a famous player in the history of Chinese football, the Chinese team with him as the head coach has not brought more excitement to people. What is important is that his predecessor Li Tie, whether it is technical and tactical arrangements or playing style, actually has to do a good job. As a result, Li Xiaopeng had to face more pressure, but unfortunately, the first game he led the team left a negative impression. The media believes.
Vietnamese media analysis said that in the current national football team, some of the advantages shown by the Li Tie era have now disappeared. "An important reason why Li Tie was appreciated before was his tactical style, he tried to make the team play a well-organized, control-oriented and more modern football. But these things seem to have disappeared from the first game led by Li Xiaopeng. ”
"Admittedly, the Japanese team is an extremely strong opponent. But when Li Tie led the team to face Japan, he actually let the Chinese team show a very strong tactical structure in front of Japan. Li Xiaopeng changed the formation of the Chinese team to 4231, but this is only a change on paper, in fact, in the game, the chinese team in the organization of the attack between the various links of the position distance, its tightness is far behind the period led by Li Tie. Vietnamese media said.
"In addition to the excessive distance between the players, the position of the Chinese team to receive the players has also lost flexibility, everyone can only move in a fixed position, it is very easy to fall into the Japanese team's force. This is why the Chinese team can only launch an attack through a long pass. ”
In addition, News Online also said that under the leadership of Li Xiaopeng, the Chinese team's already weak left side defense was even more fragile than when Li Tie led the team: "In the game against Japan a few months ago, the chinese team's left side showed loopholes. This time, the left side guarded by Zheng Zheng was even more fragile. ”
Therefore, the media believes that with the current strength of the Chinese team, it has given the Vietnamese team more opportunities to take advantage of. Considering the performance on the field, it is difficult to expect Li Xiaopeng to do better than Li Tie, and Li Tie's somewhat modern and well-organized style of play quickly disappeared from the Chinese team. Despite the best efforts of some players, they did not perform as well as in the first leg against The Japan team. This may give Vietnam more opportunities, as long as we can surpass ourselves at home. ”
