Recently, sofascore updated the average scores of the new CFL players. Surprisingly, many players with higher scores missed out on the national soccer team roster. These include Jiang Shenglong, Wang Gang, Zheng Zheng and Han Pengfei. And these players were mainly defenders. The worst thing about the national soccer team is the defense position. The media has always liked to say that Jankovic uses people fairly. But people can't understand giving up these good players.
Scoring sites calculate rankings based on points scored in each round, and some players' scores are deceiving. But the average score has a requirement of number of appearances, which has some reference value. Meanwhile, Wei Shihao of Wuhan Three Town is not on the list because he was banned and did not perform well in many matches. It is not surprising that he failed.
The top 11 highest on the list are all foreign aiders. Wu Lei is ranked 12th, with an average score of 7.15, higher than all domestic and naturalized players, which are exclusively foreigners. However, Wu Lei's poor performance in the national soccer team is certainly related to the lack of support in the midfield. Jiang Shenglong of Shenhua was second among domestic players with 7.09 points. Wang Gang of Beijing Guoan scored 7.08 points and ranked third. No wonder Xu Jiang expressed his dissatisfaction that Wang Gang was not selected for the right side of the national soccer team.
After foreigners like Sosa and Mallet, Shandong Luneng's Zheng Zheng ranks fourth among domestic players with 7.04 points. Tied with Zheng Zheng is Zhang Linmiao, who made a major mistake on the national soccer team. Above 7 points, there is also Ekerson. Xie Pengfei has 6.99 points. In Qingdao, Hainiu's goalkeeper Mou Pengfei scored 6.98 points, and Jinmen Tiger's star goalkeeper Xu Jiamin scored 6.98 points.
The next players are Stanley Wang, Gu Cao, Lu Wenjun, Yan Junling and Han Pengfei. There are three goalkeepers on the list, with Yan Junling (6.93) scoring the lowest, below Mou Pengfei and Xu Jiamin. Considering the level of defense of the Jinmen Tigers and Qingdao Hainiu, Mou and Xu should have added some points (if they conceded goals in the scoring, they would have gotten a lot of points). However, Wang Dalei scores well with Chinese fans at 6.75. The question for him is not whether he can replace Yan Junling, but whether he qualifies for the national soccer roster.
There are 14 domestic players on the list. Comparing the list, it is not difficult to find that a total of eight people, including Jiang Shenglong, Wang Gang, Zheng Zheng, Mou Pengfei, Xu Jiamin, Gu Cao, Lu Wenjun and Han Pengfei, have not been selected for the national soccer team. Except for two goalkeepers and Lu Wenjun, they are all defenders. Whether facing Malaysia or Syria, the national soccer team's defenders had the worst performance. Jiang Shenglong was selected for the U24 team. Han Pengfei and Xu Jiamin were both in their 30s when they were selected for the national soccer team.
Yankovic's so-called lineup does have flaws. Take for example the big entry, Jinmen Tigers. In addition to Xu Jiamin, Han Pengfei, Tomorrow and Xie Wenjun also scored higher than Wang Qiuming. Shandong Luneng's Sun Guowen only got 6.62 points, significantly lower than the overall score, while Li Yuan has been selected in the team's best lineup several times.
