The national soccer team is about to assemble and start its preparation for the group stage of the Asian Cup. Meanwhile, fellow group rival Qatar has changed its coach, a change that was noted in the December 7 edition of Soccer News, perhaps not all good news for the national soccer team. Some rational fans have reservations about this: does disadvantage to others really equate to self-interest? That's not necessarily the case. The importance of the Asian Cup is obviously not as significant as the preliminaries. If you don't improve yourself, even if you come out on top in the group stage of the Asian Cup, what is the significance of it?
Let's take class performance as an example. If you are not doing well in your class and are often second to last, would it be a "good thing" for you if the student who is always first to last is unable to attend due to an emergency before an exam? On the other hand, if you are always at the bottom of the class, and the second-to-last student is absent for some reason, the rankings are swapped for a short period of time, can this be called a "good thing"? Actually, no. The real improvement depends on your own efforts!
Qatar coach Coach Coach Queiroz was dismissed after just 10 months in office. The new coach, Max Lopez, 61, coached Wakrah in the Qatar League and led the team to the Asian Cup. He coached at the European "base" club Auburn for three years, and knows the Qatari youth training system very well.In the summer of 2017, Lopez took over the position of the former seaport coach Lecco.In 2018, Lopez coached Qatar Wakala, and led the team to success in the promotion. Although Football Daily believes that Qatar's coaching change will be beneficial for the national soccer team, the new coach's lack of experience in coaching the national team is a concern for some fans. However, it is argued that the new coach will adapt quickly, after all, most of Qatar's international players play in the domestic league.
One month before the tournament opens (December 12), teams are required to submit their 18- to 50-man rosters. Ten days before the tournament, the 23-man roster is to be submitted and adjustments are allowed up to six hours before the first match of the group stage, provided that the replacement player has a written report of the reason for injury or withdrawal. Jankovic has finalized a 50-man alternative list for the Asian Cup before the first two rounds of the 36-team tournament, according to a Dec. 7 report by Beijin.
Of note, ten tough players are expected to play for their country! Although the 50-man list contains many players who have been selected for the national team, whether they can finally be selected will have to pass the examination of Yankovic's coaching staff. So which ten tough players are expected to play for their country? Li Yuanyi, Xie Wenneng, Fernando, Zhong Yihao, Huang Zichang, Yang Liyu, Tang Miao, Han Chao, Li Tixiang, and tomorrow. Fans, what other players in your mind are expected to make the 50-man squad? Come on and add your thoughts!
