Recently, our soccer players lost to Oman by 0-2 in the World Cup qualifying round, and finally ended up in the bottom two of the group. Facing questions from the media, leader Li Xiaopeng frankly stated that there is a huge difference in the psychological quality of players between the club and the national team, while recognizing the lack of strength of our team, however, the numbness of the players towards the defeat is even more worrying.
In the 3rd round of the Asian Zone of the current World Cup in the external round, China's team in 10 games only harvested 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses of the poor results, this result in the domestic caused a furor. After the loss to Oman, Li Xiaopeng admitted in an interview with CCTV that the Chinese team has shortcomings in every aspect, but what is most disturbing is not: "Although the players have done their best, what is more worrying is their indifference to defeat. We all recognize that we are indeed technically inferior, but this is not the most frightening."
In addition, Li Xiaopeng also expressed his dismay at the difference in the players' psychological quality between the club and the national team: "When they face well-known players such as Fellaini, Jose Paulino, and Alex Tesna in the league, they still manage to win; but when they come to the national team and face some not-so-famous players, they seem to be out of their depth, which is hard for me to accept.
