Live Broadcast News July 9 The first phase of the Chinese Super League has not yet ended. Three of the five "over-age national football" candidates for the East Asian Cup lineup have suffered injuries. " Beijing Youth Daily " issued an article saying, From the perspective of the team preparing for next year's Asian Cup, such a result is undoubtedly regrettable.
After the news spread that three international players were injured one after another, some fans couldn't help but wonder, since the Chinese team has missed the Qatar World Cup and the Hangzhou Asian Games has been postponed, why not let a relatively pure young team Go to the East Asia Cup for some exercise?
In fact, this mixed national football team with players in the 1999 age group as the main team is also the prototype of the future national football team in a sense. Under the background that personnel replacement has become the need of the times, this mixed national football team, in addition to general training, also needs to use this East Asian Cup to prepare for next year's Asian Cup. However, the blood renewal of the team cannot be achieved overnight. Objectively, it requires the optimization of the age structure of the personnel. It is necessary for some experienced old players to do a good job of passing on the guidance and guiding the growth of young players. This is why the team management and coaching staff plan to recruit 5 "over-age players".
According to the East Asian Cup competition regulations, each participating team can register 26 players. According to the practice of national team formation at all levels, the Chinese team coaching staff will first draw a list of 40 to 50 candidates before finalizing the final candidates for the competition. Even if some "over-age national players" are injured, the coaching staff will recruit players based on their appearance rate and performance in the league.
