While the Men's Basketball World Cup was in full swing, the national soccer team announced its new roster. However, from the moment the names of the national soccer team were announced, there were many questions about the fact that at least seven of them were ineligible, and fans demanded that the rules for inclusion be made public!
This list of national footballers comes from nine clubs in China. Top-ranked Shanghai Seaport has eight national soccer players on the list, followed by Wuhan Sanzhen with four of them. Shandong Taishan and Beijing Guoan each have three on the list. Surprisingly, no one was selected for the fifth-ranked Zhejiang team. As a Zhejiang fan, I'm happy and think the players can take this opportunity to rest. There are at least 7 people who are ineligible in this big list!
The first is Sun Guowen of Shandong Taishan and Gao Junyi of Wuhan Sanzhen. Sun Guowen has become a fringe player for Shandong Taishan and can't even play enough to make the national soccer roster. Gao Junyi has only played two games in the past two months. What impressed him about Jankovic? Did Jankovic choose Sun Guowen and Gao Junyi to prove he is special?
Let's talk about Yan Junling and Liu Dianzheng in the goalkeeper position. Are their names forever etched on the national soccer roster? Why are they always there? Yan Junling has been called the "Regent" by fans for the number of goals he has conceded in recent matches. Liu Dengzuo has been no better, reverting back to his old "butter hand" this season. Beijing Guoan's Housen, Chengdu Rongcheng's Hou Tao, and Shanghai Shenhua's Ma Zhen are all better than Yan Junling and Liu Dengzheng, who are in their 30s.
At 34 years old, Zhang Linmiao would be better off giving him a rest. He really doesn't have enough strength to stay in the national team. He can't run, and he always looks at the man but not the ball when he plays soccer. More than half of the goals conceded by Shanghai Harbor recently are related to Zhang Linmiao. Zhang Linmiao has proven time and time again that he has no strength. Why doesn't the national soccer list let him go?
Then there's Shanghai Harbour's Stanley Wong. The stoppage time misses could have been set pieces and an extreme lack of confidence. Even a team like Myanmar needs necklaces to bring good luck. Can he play good soccer? After the necklace incident, I thought Stanley Wong never missed the national team again, but now he is a regular in the national team.
Finally, let's talk about Xu Xin. He had a normal performance in Shandong Taishan, but after moving to Shanghai Port, he was like a different person. Xu Xin has also slowly changed from a starter to the team's substitute. Even Shanghai Port's fans don't like Xu Xin anymore, thinking that he will lose the ball when he plays. On the contrary, Shanghai Port's Baitijiang has been performing well lately and is far better than Xu Xin.
None of the above seven are eligible. Does the national team pick based on personal preference? Is there no certain rule? No wonder many fans demanded that the conditions and rules for selection be announced when the National Football League list was released.
