Where did the Chinese men's soccer team's distinctive title - "China Men's Soccer National Selection Team" - come from in the East Asian Cup? Originally, the FA had planned to send the U23 men's soccer team to participate in the event, with the intention of using the East Asian Cup to warm up for the Hangzhou Asian Games, which was originally scheduled to be held in September. Despite the postponement of the Asian Games, the FA decided to send a youthful team, with the exception of Tan Long and Jiang Guangtai, the rest of the players are in the U23 age group.

"China's men's soccer national selection team" debuted in October 2019. At that time, the national football team in the Asian region of the World Cup 40 strong match is in full swing, Lippi refused to lead the team to participate in the "can not be distracted" as the reason, Li Tie was appointed by the Football Association as the leader of the team, he was in the training of the players recruited did not make the list of the national football team in the 40 strong match.
However, by December 10th of that year, when the East Asian Cup entry list was announced, Lippi had once again left the national football team, Li Tie's national football selection team was naturally upgraded to the Chinese team. Immediately thereafter, Li Tie also formally assumed the position of national football coach.
The "Chinese men's football national selection team" is the predecessor of the "Chinese men's football training team".In March 2019, Lippi stepped down from the national football team for the first time shortly after, Cannavaro to the national football training team as a coach to lead the team to participate in the Cup of China, the outside world is regarded as an "interview". However, Cannavaro's team suffered back-to-back defeats, especially against Thailand, and then it was a non-event.
Whether it is "selection team" or "training team", reveals a kind of uncertainty, not confident atmosphere. Li Tie and Cannavaro as the leader of the team, at that time are "temporary workers" status, to "selection" or "training" named, seems to tell the fans: we are not the national football team, even if we lose, it is not the face of the national football team. The face of the national football team is not lost.
However, is this really possible? The matches will be presented as "Team China" on the broadcast screen and in FIFA's records. In the eyes of the fans, the change of team name will not affect their perception of the Chinese men's soccer team. Trying to protect the image and reputation of the national soccer team through "selecting the team" or "training the team" in the event of a loss seems to be wishful thinking.
Yankovic, head coach of China's men's national soccer selection team
This year's tournament has special characteristics. As this year's Qatar World Cup will be held in November, Japan and South Korea will see the East Asian Cup as a good opportunity to practice for the World Cup final round, so they will look at more adult team substitutes rather than the usual exercise of young players, which has led to an increase in the intensity of the game.
In last night's second round of matches, the national soccer team in the whole field disadvantage situation tenaciously drew the Japanese team. Although the technical gap between the two players is obvious, the national football team's possession rate of only 30%, but their mental state than the first game against South Korea when there is a significant improvement, the formation is also pressed more forward, and even in the second half at the end of the cold to win the game.
The eyes of the fans are bright, they will not be differentiated by the name of the team, but will applaud in time because of the improvement of the field; they also see more than just the final score, the players' commitment and hard work on the field will become the basis for them to change the word of mouth.
Now the national football team, both the lack of formal competition opportunities, the international ranking has fallen out of the top ten in Asia, every game is very precious. Therefore, for these young players, the name of the team contains "China team" is important, but more important is that the players have to have a "China team" consciousness, do not think of themselves as "temporary workers But more importantly, the players should have a sense of "Team China" in their hearts, and not think of themselves as "temporary workers", but rather to the standards of current national football players.
The only way to practice better is to forget about "practice".
