In the soccer circle, the decision of Li Tie to abandon the naturalized players in the world's top 12 preseason has become the focus of heated debate. It is reported that the top management of the Football Association has released signals to Li Tie in advance, with the intention of "diluting" the status of naturalized players in the team. Therefore, in the game, Li Tie's use of naturalized players very low frequency. However, can not be ignored is that, without the naturalized players, the Chinese men's football team in the confrontation with Japan, Saudi Arabia and other teams appear to be unable to do. Obviously, the strength of the Chinese men's football team and Japan and Saudi Arabia still have a gap, and limit the playing time of naturalized players seems to make up for this gap of helplessness.
In this way, the top 12 tournaments of the World Qualifying Tournament have almost become a preview of the Chinese men's soccer team's loss. Although with the addition of naturalized players, the Chinese men's soccer team has a slightly better chance of winning against Japan and Saudi Arabia, but the victory or defeat is still unpredictable. It is worth mentioning that fans speculate that Li Tie's restriction on the use of naturalized players may have something to do with his personal background. It is reported that his agency has worked with many international soccer players. In any case, Li Tie's decision seems to have touched a sensitive area, and he may encounter considerable challenges in the future.
