The Chinese team recently lost 0-2 to Oman, ending the World Cup with the second last place in the group. Li Xiaopeng, the leader of the team, pointed out in an interview that there is a big difference between the psychological quality of the players in the club and the national team, and admitted that the Chinese team is not strong enough, but the lack of strength is not as bad as the players' mindset of numbness to the loss is horrible.

China's national team in this year's World Cup Asian Zone, the third round of external competition, 10 battles with only 1 win, 3 and 6 losses to graduate from the last two positions, this achievement in the domestic has attracted fierce criticism. Li Xiaopeng, the leader of the team, said bluntly in an interview with CCTV after the 0-2 defeat against Oman that the Chinese team is not capable at all levels, but the most frightening thing is not here: the players have tried their best, but there is one thing even more frightening, that is, the numbness to the loss. Everyone recognizes that we really can't beat them, and that's even more frightening than losing.

He also pointed out that he finds it hard to understand why there is a big difference in the mental quality of players when they play for a club and when they play for the national team: they can win in the league against Fellaini, Jose Paolino, Alex Tesla, but when they face players we can't even name here, they are all too good to be true, which is something I find hard to accept.
