The Spring Festival vacation is coming to an end like a dream, and all walks of life will soon be busy again, which naturally includes the soccer field in China. Do you still remember that last December, the Football Association held a meeting on the winter training and preparation of the national team, it was clearly mentioned that during the Spring Festival all levels of the national team will start a new round of training and training. With the Chinese women's soccer team assembling in Panyu, Guangzhou, only the men's national team and the Asian Games team, which was built specifically for the Asian Games, remain to be assembled. According to Sports Weekly, the Asian Games team may replace the national soccer team in warming up with New Zealand on the international match day at the end of March, which means that the national team, which was originally the representative of the highest level of the national soccer team, may be abandoned again.
Today coincides with the birthday of women's soccer captain Wang Shanshan, and the China team has sent timely wishes.
Last night, the Chinese women's soccer team arrived at the Panyu base in Guangzhou one after another, and began the first two-week training session of the Year of the Rabbit. In fact, on December 5 last year, the Chinese women's football team has carried out the first phase of the new cycle of training in Haikou. After this training, the Chinese women's soccer team will go to Spain for a series of warm-up matches, Zhang Linyan and other six overseas club players will also join. According to the plan, the Chinese women's soccer team will play four warm-up matches during the period in Spain, the opponents are Real Betis women's soccer team of Spain, Sweden women's soccer team, Vivar Athletic women's soccer team of Spain and Ireland women's soccer team. Head coach Shui Qingxia in the team focused on the day of the "mobilization" speech, said that this year the Chinese women's football team's three major competitions are difficult task, the training requirements will be more stringent, the coaching team and the players trust each other to reach a unified goal.
Meanwhile, the U20 National Youth Football Team has been practicing in the United Arab Emirates during this period. On the evening of the 25th local time, the national youth team won 1:0 against Syria with Hu Huotao's goal, which was their fourth warm-up match in this training. Despite the results of 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, the team's performance is getting better and better, proving the value of this training. Before the Spring Festival, the U17 national youth team concluded a 17-day training session and will start the second phase of the nearly 40-day training in Zhuhai tomorrow, with a reduced player roster. Most of the national teams have begun or will soon begin the new cycle of preparation work, only the national team is still in chaos, the head coach selection, training list, the first training time, place, training program, etc. have not yet been decided, about the national team's first phase of training specific arrangements may have to wait until after the first month of the fifteenth to have a clear picture.
At present, due to the previous national team responsible for the affairs of the National Management Department Minister Chen Yongliang is undergoing disciplinary supervision departments of the review, the national football team selection work must be stalled, Li Xiaopeng continue to lead the team has become a helpless move. But the national football training is not just appoint an acting coach so simple. As we all know, Li Xiaopeng with the team during the biggest feature is the so-called "group effort" - two training, the Association has equipped him with a strong group of assistant coaches, the first training in the number of foreign assistant coaches as many as 15 people, the second phase of the "! Slimming" there are also 8 people, the national football training list, lineup playing method is the coaching group "collective deliberation" results, which also led to two training, four games of personnel and tactics changed many times the reason. This may be Li Xiaopeng high emotional intelligence, "readily accept good advice" performance, may also have its lack of initiative, unwilling to take responsibility for the factors. But now, who can assist Li Xiaopeng this "temporary worker"? Once he needs to take full responsibility, he can come up with how much real talent?
More crucially, the entire 2022 season, Li Xiaopeng are in a state of idleness, neither the experience of leading the team, also did not see to go to the scene to watch the game, the fans can see only the figure of him walking his dog. After all, for the back of a huge pressure, caught in the storm of public opinion, Li Xiaopeng, the past year he can have how much mood to continue to pay attention to the Chinese Super League? But the problem is that the 2022 season is another season of dramatic changes in the pattern of the league, the four "promoted horses" performance is strong, Guangzhou, Shanghai Shenhua, Beijing Guoan and other former international players in the performance of the downturn, Artemisia Junmin, Yu Dabao, Ji Zhongguo and other old international players performance cliff decline, Xie Weijun, Xie Pengfei, Chen Pu and other middle-generation players performance! Eye-catching. In this case, Li Xiaopeng still have the ability to develop a training list that includes the league's elite? If still in accordance with the old vision to circle the training list, the national football team of the new and old and how to complete it?
The National Football League selectors could be back in action.
Although theoretically, China's soccer is facing three major events this year - the Hangzhou Asian Games, the 2026 World Cup and the Asian Cup, but in the eyes of the Football Association, the Hangzhou Asian Games is undoubtedly the most important. After all, the Asian Games is a local combat, once the poor performance of public opinion caused by the counter-control will be more violent, in contrast, the World Qualifying Tournament is a long battle line, this year is only the beginning of the first stage, the opponent's strength is weaker, the room for error is also larger, the Asian Cup is the probability of waiting until next year, January will start, and the results of the pressure and not too big. Therefore, the FA's focus in the first half of this year will undoubtedly be more tilted towards the Asian Games team coached by Jankovic. Previously, the New Zealand media reported that the Chinese men's soccer team will go to New Zealand at the end of March to play two warm-up matches, but according to Sports Weekly, due to the reorganization of the Chinese men's soccer team is in a state of stagnation, the Asian Games team can not find a suitable warm-up opponent, the Association does not rule out the possibility of continuing to send the Asian Games team in the name of the "Chinese Men's Soccer Team Selection" to participate in the international A-level matches. The possibility that the Asian Games team will continue to be sent to participate in international A-level matches in the name of the "Chinese men's soccer selection team". If this arrangement, I am afraid that the Chinese men's soccer team can only be regarded as an "abandoned son" in the short term.
