March 22 - The national soccer team took a 2-0 lead in the World Qualifier that ended last night with a 2-2 draw against Singapore.
Today, media personality Pan Weili updated his social media. In the video, he confesses that if the national soccer team does miss the top 18, he strongly suggests that all international players over the age of 30 quit and the post-00s take over.
Pan Weili said, "If the Chinese men's soccer team really misses out on the top 18 of the World Qualifiers, I support the Chinese men's soccer team to complete a complete blood exchange, with all veterans over 30 and players before the age of 95 quitting the national team. There are three points of view on this."
"First of all, whenever the Chinese team doesn't get the expected result, the biggest voice of public opinion on the internet is XXX. xxx should quit the national team as soon as possible, but I want to tell you this: it's not that they don't want to quit, but they can't quit. In my interactions with international players over the past few years, I can clearly sense that many national team players in their 30's and older don't want to be in the national team because we all know that the national team is hopeless at this stage. Apart from taking up their time and chastising, they don't realize the high risk and zero reward. In fact, they all know that their families
"Secondly, why can't Chinese players quit the national team? Because our public opinion environment is that the individual can never abandon the collective, only the collective abandon your individual. We have been watching international soccer for so many years. Even if a foreign player is at playing age, even if he's 28 years old, as long as he feels he's not helping the national team or he doesn't like any of the coaches, he has the right to say I'm not going to be in the national team anymore, and no fan is going to judge him morally, he's going to think it's his legal autonomy. But in the Chinese climate of public opinion, you shouldn't think about it. If you dare to voluntarily not play for the national team during a tournament year or when a coach is trying to recruit you, I'm sorry, you won't be playing for the national team and you won't be playing in the Chinese Super League. You still want to make money and dream about going. That's our climate of opinion: players are never capable or qualified to give up the national team. Therefore, it is my impression that Zhang Linlian voluntarily ended his international career in such a public forum. He is the first epoch-maker in history. If our public opinion and the national team can really accept his application and request, I think it's an advancement of public opinion and the times. That's what we should do."
"Thirdly, why do I say I support a complete renewal of the national team? In the group photo I posted two days ago, when I went to the national team to chat with Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong, I could see the light in the eyes of these post-00s players because they are still young and still have expectations and aspirations for the national team. They still have expectations for their careers as individual international players and for the future of the national team. However, when I talk to international players in their 30s, I think they are really happy. If the national soccer team does miss out on the top 18, then there will be no official games for the next three years. If they still insist on staying in the team at this point in time, then the veterans
