According to the original plan, China's men's soccer team will gather in Shanghai on August 18th to prepare for the Qatar World Cup Asian Zone 12 tournament, which will open in early September. But just this weekend, Guangzhou City Football Club came to the bad news that their captain, the main right back of the 40 national football team Tang Miao suffered a serious injury. It is reported that Tang Miao will undergo surgery on August 10th and will not recover until the end of the year at the earliest, which means that he will miss the first six rounds of the 12-team tournament. Tang Miao has also become the first to suffer serious injuries before the 12 rounds of the National Football League 40 main players, which is undoubtedly a major blow to the national football team.
However, according to inside sources, the national soccer coaching staff has developed a huge list of alternative international players for the Top 12, far more than the 60 or so who played during the 40-team tournament. The head coach will select about 30 of them to participate in the upcoming Shanghai training and the first two rounds of the 12-team tournament. In the right back position, the injured Wang Gang and others are the ones Li Tie can consider.
On the evening of August 7, Guangzhou City Football Club announced through official channels that captain Tang Miao has torn the lateral meniscus of his right knee and will undergo surgery next week. Beiqing-Beijing Headline 8 verified from Guangzhou City Football Club that Tang Miao's surgery will take place next Tuesday (10th), and it is expected that he will not recover until the end of the year at the earliest. The schedule shows that the first six rounds of the 12-team tournament will be completed this year, so Tang Miao will definitely not be able to participate in these six rounds.
The relevant person in charge of Guangzhou City Football Club told Beiqing-Beijing headline reporter that the club feels very sorry for Tang Miao's serious injury. "He has a responsibility in the national team, and he fights so hard in the club. Really feel sorry for him ......," the source said.
Like Guangzhou City FC, both the CFA and the national team coaching staff regret and feel sad about the serious injury of the hard-working veteran at this time. It is reported that the CFA will next treat Tang Miao as well as Guangzhou City FC, according to the regulations.
As of August 8, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) has not yet determined whether our team will be able to play home matches in their home country. However, the team's pre-match preparations, especially the training preparations, are on schedule as the national football team will face Australia away in the first round of the 12-team tournament. Unsurprisingly, the whole team will assemble in Shanghai from 18th, and then the trip will be carried out according to the home venue confirmed by the first opponent, Australia.
Affected by the epidemic, our team may need to play consecutive home and away matches outside the country, and the preparations and matches are likely to be carried out under the strict closed-loop conditions of epidemic prevention. In this case, the CFA, in addition to assisting the national football team in properly organizing matters such as epidemic prevention, excursions, reception in the tournament area, and the organization of training venues through methods such as playing in front of the tournament, will also need to carefully select a sufficient number of capable international players to cope with intensive matches and a long period of closed working environment.
It is reported that in the national football team to participate in the 40 strong match before, the coaching team had first circled more than 60 people of the national football alternative list. Through the 40 strong match and the first stage of the Chinese Super League, part of the listed candidates for international players (such as Tang Miao) appeared injured or poor athletic performance, part of the candidates for international players (such as Wang Gang, Zhu Chenjie) to recover, and excellent condition, so Li Tie in the selection of 12 strong tournament to travel to the international players list, will inevitably carry out a number of adjustments. In addition, some of the players who were not on the list have also performed well in the recent Chinese Super League, so they have been able to add to the list lineup. As the AFC does not have a specific limit on the number of players that can be initially enrolled in each team for the 12-team tournament, the coaching staff of the Chinese team will be able to include all the names of the players that meet the conditions for recruitment into the list.
As for who will replace Tang Miao in the Top 12 after his absence. At present, Li Tie's choice is relatively rich. For example, Wang Gang, the Guoan player who missed the second half of the 40-team tournament due to injury, was the main right back in the first half of the 40-team tournament during Lippi's tenure, and he had an eye-catching performance during his recent participation in the Chinese Super League competition on behalf of his club. And in the currently available alternative side backs, Wang Shenchao, Gao Junyi are able to left and right, the two in the harbor, Evergrande's main left back position to play in the wind. Recently, Li Lei, Jiang Zhipeng and other different periods of the main left back of the national football team in their respective clubs are also more outstanding performance, in this case, Wang Shenchao, Gao Junyi can be completely liberated to the right side of the road. In addition, one of the main center backs of the 40 strong national football team, Zhang Linpeng, has also served as the right back of the national football team and Guangzhou team, if Li Ang and comeback Zhu Chenjie can top in time, then Zhang Linpeng was moved to the side, is not impossible to try.
On August 8, the 13th round of the Chinese Super League will start in Guangzhou. Li Tie and his assistants are highly concerned about the last 2 to 3 rounds of the first phase of the league (there is still 1 round left in Suzhou), in order to cope with unforeseen circumstances such as Tang Miao's serious injury. According to the routine of the last two years, Li Tie tends to recruit about 27 people to participate in the training of each period. And in view of the 12 strong match of the major as well as the reality of the epidemic at the moment, he did not rule out the possibility of moderate expansion of the training lineup, the specific personnel planning may be around 30 people.
