In the morning of November 17, the Asian zone of the World Preliminary Round 12 tournament is in full swing, China's team and Australia's fierce battle to 1-1 draw. After the match, Wen Wei Po reporter Shen Lei, in an exclusive interview with Sohu Sports, made an in-depth analysis of China's naturalization strategy.
Shen Lei first mentioned the national football team's four naturalized debut, he believes that this arrangement is not surprising: "Li Tie's scheduling is quite stubborn, we think that feasible he prefer not to adopt, but after a few games, he will listen to the voice of public opinion, so it is not surprising. As for our team to win the game, without naturalized players is almost impossible." For the performance of the naturalized players, Shen Lei does not think how outstanding, "because the team itself lacks a tactical system, including yesterday's game, it is obvious that the three naturalized players plus Wu Lei play on their own, there is no tactical set-up, no midfield organization, it is by directly giving the ball to Alan and Luo Guofu and letting them deal with it on their own. So even if the individual ability is strong, it can't make a qualitative change in the team."
In fact, Asia, including Qatar, Japan and other teams also used naturalized players, Shen Lei believes that in the world of football this is a trend, "mainly the flow of personnel in various countries and before a huge change, immigration is also more. Qatar naturalized earlier, in the early years is also and our country's team as high-priced introduction, but now, naturalized players will not bring big changes to the pattern of Asian soccer, because the pattern of Asia now, in front of the four teams Japan, South Korea, Iran and Saudi Arabia's position is difficult to shake, their domestic leagues and the soccer atmosphere ensures that the national football players can be a steady stream of output players. In fact, Japan now has no naturalized players, those are born in Japan of mixed blood, in Japan's youth training system under the growth, while our naturalized players seem too eager. The likes of Ackerson and Lokok Fu are actually acceptable, after all, they have played in the domestic league for so long."
As for this competition, the naturalized players have a positive attitude, Shen Lei said: "They are trying to prove themselves, especially at this point want to prove that they are not for the sake of money, which is the paradox of the project of naturalized players in China's national football. Initially by the club to sky-high prices, if you do not initially open such a price, plain is to desire and career development goals to attract them, I think Ickerson, Luo Guofu and Alan such players will still be. Because they have played in our country for many years in the league, our country is what kind of country, how to accommodate them, watching them grow, there is a relationship of attraction between each other, in addition they can not enter the Brazilian national team, if initially open and honest talk should be able to attract them."
"Including the initial I thought should be naturalized Ivo, he played in our country for a long time, his sense of integration is also very good, deeply integrated into the Henan land inside, riding an electric bike to training. And our initial naturalization is too eager, is to take the money to hit, and do not talk to you more, but this money once open out to become an obstacle, in the future, how do you go to talk to other naturalized players to talk about it? And in the case of our country's football gold dollar soccer bubble has burst, has meant that this project can no longer continue, who will pay the money in the future? Our initial choice to rush to the dead end has led us to our own death, in the short term we can't see any other naturalized players, you can't afford to pay this price, and if we lose this time, the naturalization project won't be seen by the outside world as a complete failure." Shen Lei continued, "the results and process of our naturalization is not very good, including the head coach is not too love to use, we naturalized a bunch of are in the front, the back of a Jiang Guangtai, the center of no one, our naturalization is not in accordance with our needs to match, not in accordance with the competitive thought of naturalization, so it will be very difficult in the future."
Talking about the situation of China's team now, as well as the next round of the competition against Japan, Shen Lei bluntly: "No way, China's team has not played their own decent tactical routines, in fact, not to care about what kind of results, and now the points are not difficult to see, just did not play their own style routines and systems, this is as a head coach is very important place, is my soccer philosophy is What, what did Li Tie play in 6 rounds of competition? His style of each game is changing, not only the starting lineup, a variety of styles, you do not know what he wants to show, what is his thinking, what is his thinking of defense and offense, sets of nothing. This national team has been training for more than 3 months, you can have a lot of time to integrate your tactical system, but completely no, this is the most unacceptable, not a bad result. It's like a candidate can have bad results, but you can't have no solutions, you can't list all the formulas you know, and it completely gives no hope. There is no hope in playing Japan either."
On Li Tie's 32-minute conference speech after the match, Shen Lei said it was no surprise, "Li Tie was leading the team in Hebei and Wuhan, he is usually not too willing to greet the media, but he must look for an opportunity to express their own concepts, when he took the East Asian quarterfinals in South Korea when he said, in fact, we know that he was thinking of the lines in advance, the words out of the feeling that each sentence can do the headline The words came out feeling like every sentence could be a headline. This time, he said so much, but I think, can not achieve their own purpose. People who oppose Li Tie will not support him or be convinced by his words. What he wants to say is, I have no fault as the head coach, now we are not performing well all the problems lie in the objective difficulties, but if it is the objective difficulties, why do you need your head coach?"
Talking about the situation of the national football team, Shen Lei said: "Saudi Arabia leading the way may be out of our expectations, originally we may have thought that Saudi Arabia is a bit weak, Saudi Arabia match third, Japan and Australia is stronger, especially Japan we may think that there is no suspense the first two out of the Japanese appeared some fluctuations in the situation of the group after some confusion, and now, now the The situation is still relatively normal. In the end, it may be Japan and Saudi Arabia in the first two, Australia third."
Finally talked about the situation of Japan's poor start, Shen Lei thinks: "Japan may be the same as our team, first of all, or coaching problems, Mori Bao Yi itself is particularly conservative coach, from this time to see Mori Bao Yi is also making adjustments to his tactical grinding adjustment also makes people feel that the Japanese team has been grinding is not particularly smooth, and not like South Korea as the temperament, always playing the Stumbling, first of all because of the reason of the head coach, from the strength of the Japanese team is undoubtedly the strongest in Asia."
