To March 7, China's men's football training domestic players are all in place, tactical integration is carried out smoothly. The national team for the selection criteria will soon be revolutionized, athletic performance and fighting spirit will become the only criterion for the selection of talent. All signs indicate that if the naturalized players are not in good shape, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enjoy "special treatment" in the national football team.
National Football League finalizes lineup for Western Conference in three warm-up games
A total of 39 players have been called up for the current national team, including five naturalized players and Li Lei, who plays for Grasshopper Switzerland, who flew directly to the United Arab Emirates to join the team. Jiang Shenglong and Wu Shaocong have already reported to the U23 national team, while Deng Hanwen has taken a leave of absence due to a family matter, and the rest of the 30 players have been assembled. Since 9, the national team will play three warm-up matches, respectively, on the 9th against Changchun Yatai, 12 and 15 will have other warm-up matches. 15 has been determined with the U23 national team to play a warm-up, the opponent on the 12th is not yet determined, in view of the same in Haikou training Shenzhen team has been on vacation, it is expected that the national football team may be on the 12th again against Changchun Yatai.
Through these three warm-up matches, the national football team will determine the lineup and basic tactics for the western expedition. Chen Yang, the head coach of Yatai, has served as an assistant coach in the national team and knows the situation of the national football team well, and will assist the national football team to simulate the opponent's technical and tactical skills and provide targeted warm-ups.
After the end of the warm-up match, the national football team will finalize the list of the western expedition, five naturalized players and Li Lei if the status is good, will also fly to Dubai to meet with the team. At present, the naturalized players, Jiang Guangtai in the United Arab Emirates vacation, the other four "Brazilian" players in Brazil, the national football team is in contact with them to monitor their physical condition to ensure that they can return to the team smoothly.
Over-reliance on naturalized players draws controversy
Even if the naturalized players return to the team successfully, whether they can be recognized by the national football team still depends on their competitive state. If the state is not good, do not rule out the possibility of naturalized players to be abandoned.
Naturalized players have been in Brazil for a long time without systematic training and competition, and their competitive status has been questioned. In the match between China and Vietnam on February 1, Alan and Luo Guofu started, but their condition was obviously poor, and they were replaced by Wei Shihao and Zhang Yuning in the second half. Head coach Li Xiaopeng also said after the game, naturalized players have a strong desire to fight, but a long time not to participate in the competition, there is a certain impact on the competitive state.
Over-reliance on naturalized players is also likely to cause dissatisfaction among local players. There is no doubt about the strength of the naturalized players, but it is also a fact that they are out of action for a long time and are not in good shape. At this time, over-reliance on naturalized players will undoubtedly deal a blow to the local players' desire to fight.
After the group match with Vietnam, some local players showed disappointment. Some players believe that it is better to use local players, after all, the league has been playing, Shanghai training also all participate, better physical conditions, the overall performance may be better. Coupled with the anxiety brought about by the long period of isolation training, this sentiment may be further exacerbated, and even affect the unity of the team.
National football team before the trip to emphasize the use of personnel "only state theory"
Perhaps summed up the previous group stage of the personnel experience, the national football team recently internal meeting to reaffirm the use of "only state theory", the individual state of play and on-field fighting style as the team's healthy competition and personnel selection of the only standard, in order to eliminate some of the local players' psychological doubts, unity of thought, to achieve the maximization of the fighting force.
A team source said, "For the national team, the interests of the team are always first, the World Preliminary Round such a game, if the physical reserves, fighting spirit does not meet the requirements, no matter what level of players can not be used. Because the use of such players to play, it is unfair to the players who give their all."
In this way, naturalized players may also no longer enjoy privileges. It is reported that the CFA has determined to hire foreign physical trainers, the national football list of several naturalized players for physical assessment, if individual naturalized players can not meet the standard, the national football team may cancel its recruitment. Even if the smooth return to the team, naturalized players to get the opportunity to play, individual competitive state must also meet the requirements of the coaching team. If you can not meet the standard, may be excluded from the overall tactical design of the national football team.
