As mentioned before, U23 National Football Team (hereinafter referred to as National Olympic Team) head coach Yankovic refused to use overage players, and star players such as Wu Lei , Elkeson missed the Asian Games. Who knew that things turned around after only a few days. Under the "strong request" of Football Association , Jankovic had to compromise, and in the end, three national football players joined the National Olympic Team.
I believe many people know who these three players are, namely the number one and two captains of the national football team, Wu Xi , Zhang Linpeng , and the forward thigh player of the national football team in the next ten years - Zhang Yuning . It is reported that these three players have met with the National Olympic Team.
Why are there three people Zhang Yuning, Wu Xi and Zhang Linpeng, not Wu Lei and Elkeson? In fact, this question is easy to answer, because Zhang Yuning, Wu Xi and Zhang Linpeng just form a central axis, namely the forward, the midfield and the defender.
According to reporter Ma Dexing , the National Olympic Team was blocked from the top 8 in the past three Asian Games because they did not send out 1 overage player (to be honest, this reason is a bit far-fetched). Of course, the level of overage players in the National Olympic Games has definitely improved, but this is just theoretical, and the effect needs to be observed in actual combat.
The following is my personal prediction of the main lineup of the National Olympic Team (433):
Goalkeeper: Han Jiaqi
Han Jiaqi, the main goalkeeper of the Chinese Super League team Guangzhou City, has rich game experience and is currently the well-deserved top goalkeeper among the young players generation.
defenders: Wen Jiabao, Zhu Chenjie , Wu Shaocong , Zhang Linpeng
Wen Jiabao, Shanghai Shenhua 's main left back, skilled left foot, active defense, is the captain of the Dubai Cup, and has a set of morale to boost morale; Zhu Chenjie, Shanghai Shenhua's main central defender, young and mature, bold and meticulous, is one of the few young players who can firmly sit in the national football team;
Wu Shaocong, Guangzhou team's substitute guard, is a versatile and can play central defender and full-back; Zhang Linpeng, there is no need to introduce this too much. The former main player of Guangzhou team has now transferred to Shanghai Harbour and can also play multiple positions.
Midfielder: Jiang Shenglong , Wu Xi, Dai Weijun
Jiang Shenglong, a Shanghai Shenhua player, loaned to Chongqing Liangjiang Sports last season, became the main force on the field, can play as a central defender or a midfielder; Wu Xi, the main player of Shanghai Shenhua, the captain of the national football team, has no doubt about its strength; Dai Weijun, the main player of Shenzhen team, has received football training in the UK since childhood, has excellent skills and a view of the overall situation, and is the core of the national football team's midfielder in the next ten years.
Generally speaking, in terms of midfield, the National Olympic Team needs the most suitable strong interception of the midfielder. Although Jiang Shenglong is OK, I personally think it is not the most suitable one. I hope that an excellent midfielder will emerge in the next period of time.
Forwards: Tao Qianglong , Liu Ruofan , Zhang Yuning
Tao Qianglong, a Dalian player, his development did not go smoothly after becoming famous at a young age, but his personal energy was still very strong. He was rated as one of the most promising new stars by FIFA . If he is in good condition, a main position will not be a problem; Liu Ruofan is also a young player, but he cannot find a position in Shanghai Shenhua, so he loaned to Chengdu Rongcheng and performed very well.
Zhang Yuning played for Beijing Guoan . He was a former overseas player. After returning to the Chinese Super League, he had outstanding abilities and had no shortcomings (that is, his physical strength was a bit bad). He even squeezed out naturalized players Elkeson and others and firmly became the main player of the national football team.
After the National Olympic Training Climbing, you will go to Japan to participate in the top 4 East Asia. This is one of the few practical opportunities, and then it will be the highly anticipated Hangzhou Asian Games . However, the three over-age players are not 100% sure, but it depends on Jankovic's final decision (such as status and injuries), and the possibility of substitution in the middle is not ruled out.
The ultimate goal of the National Olympic Team this time is naturally the Hangzhou Asian Games held in the local area this year. Because it is the host, the Football Association attaches great importance to it and must have high requirements for results. At least it must enter the semi-finals.
