Although they did not succeed in entering the quarterfinals, but overall, the performance of the Chinese men's soccer team is still worthy of praise, after all, breaking the embarrassing situation of stopping in the 1/8 finals for 20 years. Of course, while seeing the progress, we also need to realize our shortcomings. Especially in the match with South Korea, we have a big gap in reading the game, passing and the ability to seize opportunities. But being able to see our own shortcomings is also a rewarding experience. It can be said that the performance of the team led by the new coach Djurdjevic is not bad, at least it can reach the passing level. However, there are still some deficiencies in the command of the game, especially in the deployment of personnel in the midfield and backfield, the lack of backup plan.
Aside from the actual competition, the Asian Games men's soccer team has another important task, and that is to provide talent for the national soccer team. Players who have experienced the Asian games are also the focus of the national soccer team. Therefore, after the Asian Games Men's Soccer Team's mission ended, the National Soccer Team quickly announced a new recruiting list, including international players who had just participated in the Asian Games. This list includes 26 people, including nine international players including Tan Long, Liu Yang, Gao Tianyi, Dai Weijun, Zhu Chenjie, Fang Hao, Jiang Shenglong, Ye Lijiang and He Yupeng.
Of these, Tan Long, Gao Tianyi and Liu Yang were originally international players, but only temporarily absent from the national soccer team's call-ups before because of preparations for the Asian Games. The other six players are all U24 school-age players. Dai Weijun and Zhu Chenjie were previously selected for the national soccer team. This time, they are also back. Four newcomers, including Fang Hao, Jiang Shenglong, He Yupeng and Ye Lijiang, made their debut in the national soccer team camp, which is not only an encouragement for the club's performance, but also an affirmation of the Asian Games. Unsurprisingly, the value of the four newcomers will also rise dramatically with their inclusion in the national soccer team.
In addition to the above four, the first time the Jinmen Tigers center Xie Weijun, although the latter is 25 years old, but has a wealth of experience in the Chinese Super League, especially this season, on behalf of the Jinmen Tigers 26 times, of which 7 starts, contributing 6 goals and 1 assist, 9 goals and 2 assists last season, the striker's output is very stable, the height of 1.9 meters, but also to make up for the lack of the national soccer team printing center gap, is expected to add a new way of playing.
None of the five newly promoted national players are over 25 years old. Previously, China's national soccer team has relied on the play of Zhang Yuning, but he is currently recovering and has not been called up to play for the national team again. It is believed that he is expected to return to playing form before the Asian Cup.
