Hao Haidong, Qu Bo, Xie Hui, Wang Ai, Shao Jiayi, Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi, Sun Jihai, Luo Tongliang, Zhang Yonghai, after returning to China, they trained with the national team at the Xianghe base for a few days, then hurriedly boarded a flight and flew to Seoul, South Korea.
.
The first time the Dashuai Stadium will host a national team match will not be until March.
There are so many overseas players that they cannot participate in long-term training camps. Ali Haan can only seize the time and lead the coaching staff to help everyone analyze the opponent's situation, analyze the technical characteristics of the opponent's players, etc.
The 23 people on the national team roster this time, in addition to the 10 overseas players, also include goalkeeper Liu Yunfei, defender Wei Xin, Dewey, Zhang Yaokun, Sun Xiang, midfielder Zhao Junzhe, Xu Yunlong, Zou Yougen, Chen Yongqiang, Hu Zhaojun, Zheng Bin
, forwards Li Yi, Li Jinyu and others.
Originally, Yao Xia was expected to be called up, but like Lao Bai, he also had a slight injury and unfortunately missed the opportunity to be selected for the national team.
The starting 11 list submitted to the AFC is: forwards Hao Haidong and Xie Hui; midfielders Wang Ai, Shao Jiayi, Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi; defenders Luo Tongliang, Zhang Yonghai, Sun Jihai, Dewey, and goalkeeper Liu Yunfei.
The seven substitutes who followed to Seoul are: substitute forwards Qu Bo and Li Yi; substitute midfielders Zou Yougen and Xu Yunlong, substitute defender Zhang Yaokun; substitute goalkeepers Li Leilei and Li Shuai.
This is a large collection of the strongest players in China, a country with a population of 1.3 billion. Except for those who are injured, all who can come are here. Faced with the favorable situation of choosing 4 out of 8, both the Football Association and the coaching staff have given
We received the greatest support and mobilized the greatest strength. There were as many as seven members of the coaching staff who accompanied the team to Seoul. The team doctor once again recruited Liaozu’s Schubert medical team, as well as specialized nutritionists, masseurs, and security guards.
But after looking at the list of the Korean team, Wang Ai shook his head. Many young Korean players entered the national team, such as 19-year-old Park Zhouyong, 20-year-old Baek Ji-hoon, Li Hao, 21-year-old Jin Yongguang, 23-year-old
Lee Cheon-soo, Cho Jae-jin, Kim Dong-jin, and 24-year-old Park Tae-sung. The only older one that impressed Wang Ai was 28-year-old Lee Young-pyo. The age structure of the entire team is very reasonable. On the other hand, the average age of the Chinese team is at least older than that of the Korean team.
Over two years old. Qu Bo and Dewey, who are said to be young players, are both the same age as Park Tae-sung. Except for Wang Ai, who is too young, there are no players in their early 20s. Although this group of young players in the Korean team has been under Wang Ai’s performance in the past few years.
In the competition, the National Youth, National Youth, and National Olympic Games basically competed against each other, but Wang Ai still regrets that no young domestic players were selected.
In Wang Ai's view, Chen Tao, Zhao Xuri, Mao Jianqing, Wang Yun, and Han Peng are all qualified to be selected. From a football development perspective, their selection is better than the current national team members.
However, this idea can only be suppressed in the bottom of my heart. For South Korea, achievements and future are both guaranteed, and they can combine the two goals into one in a leisurely manner. However, for China, they cannot consider such long-term considerations.
Move your eyes forward before talking.
After the whole team arrived in Seoul, they immediately started closed training. Although the last game was only two months ago, the opponents were different. If they were domestic players, it would be okay. China is on holiday anyway, so they can train and warm up for a long time before the game.
However, there are no such conditions for overseas players. In order to prevent being discovered by Koreans, outdoor training is a regular training, and during meetings in hotel conference rooms, targeted tactics are explained based on game videos and tactical boards.
Since Bai Guanghai was accidentally injured and could not come, the forward's header is now weak, so Xie Hui had to be sent, otherwise Qu Bo should be the starter. Xie Hui has been in good shape for a year since returning to Shanghai Shenhua.
It has been bad for several years, very unstable, and the header is not very good, but it is better than Hao Haidong. The starting players Wang Ai, Shao Jiayi, and midfielder Zheng Zhi are not good at heading the ball, so Xie Hui can only take the header temporarily.
The tactics arranged by Ali Haan were not complicated. They assisted defense in the backcourt and cooperated with the whole team. These things that the Chinese team is good at were not specifically emphasized. He focused on asking the two wingers Wang Ai and Shao Jiayi to shoot long distances from the front of the penalty area because of their footwork.
Better. Since Wang Ai made a sensation with his free kick in the World Cup in Korea and Japan, Shao Jiayi has been deeply stimulated. He has been practicing free kicks hard in the past few years and has achieved some success.
Ali hopes that the two of them will use long-range shots to disrupt the Korean team's defensive system, thereby opening up some space for Lao Hao and Xie Hui, so that they can grab points in the penalty area. Due to the presence of Wang Ai, the opponent will not dare to easily attack in this place.
If you commit a foul, you may get more corner kicks. Li Weifeng and Dewey are both good headerers, and they can use them in corner kicks to make up for the lack of height.
Old Ali talked to Wang Ai alone and tentatively asked if the "universal joint" function he had recently shown in Deportivo could be used in the national team. Wang Ai hesitated and did not dare to confirm that it would require being very familiar with his teammates.
, and his teammates are strong and have outstanding awareness, and can receive his unconstrained assists. In this regard, the only one who Wang Ai can ensure can catch the ball no matter what is Bai Guanghai, but it is a pity that Lao Bai did not come. Others, including Lao Hao and
Although Datou is also in the same team and has played for several months, they are still somewhat uncomfortable with it.
In addition, it requires a nonchalant attitude. To be honest, Ronaldinho's good attitude of smiling at all times is based not only on his absolute confidence in himself, but also on his absolute confidence in the strength of his teammates. In several aspects
, Wang Ai couldn't do it, so it was difficult for him to completely relax in the national team competition.
So Wang Ai can only say: I will try my best.
Old Ali hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your recent main function is very exciting. Many people in the country, especially ordinary fans, are looking forward to you showing it. If you can't show it, you may be criticized.
, saying that you don’t do your best for the country, but instead do your best for the club. I know that you Chinese value this aspect very much."
"But even if I do take it out, what should I do if my teammates can't catch it?" Wang Ai spread his hands: "If it doesn't pose a threat, they may scold me for not practicing enough with the national team, or the other teammates are too weak."
Old Ali's eyes widened: "Can it still be like this?"
Wang Ai looked at Old Ali's puzzled expression and shook his head: "You are not Chinese after all, and you still don't understand some things deeply. In short, if you can win, no matter what you say, one handsome man can cover up all the ugliness. If you can't win,
That’s it, everyone, including me, will be scolded.”
Old Ali breathed a sigh of relief: "I think Chinese football still needs to be more mature."
Wang Ai shrugged: "There is no way. Such a big country, such a glorious history and such a bleak reality have determined that our people will have high expectations for us. No matter what, football must also be ranked in the world
Only by ranking in the top ten can we relax the pressure on us. Our national strength is already in the top ten."
Old Ali opened his mouth wide: "This is simply impossible. Oh, it is an impossible task during my term of office."
