reporter Chen Yong reported On July 17, the national football team set off from Qingdao to Japan to compete in the East Asian Cup match. This time, the U23 players were mainly matched with 2 overage players Tan Long and Jiang Guangtai .
determines that the East Asian Cup roster is based on the performance of U23 players in the league, and at the same time, it comprehensively considers position needs, technical and tactical adaptability, and taking care of the interests of some clubs. For example, Shanghai Shenhua was originally recruited for more players, but if there are too many players drawn by a single club, it will have too much impact on the team. Therefore, some fine adjustments were made in the East Asian Cup roster, reducing the number of players recruited by Shenhua. Most of the players who entered the national football team's selection team performed well in the first stage of the Chinese Super League. At the end of the first stage, this newspaper listed the "U23 best team in the first stage of the Chinese Super League".
The Chinese Super League in the 2022 season is different from the past. This is because the proportion of foreign players has further decreased. In the first stage, Guangzhou, Hebei and Dalian people all played all Chinese teams, and Guangzhou City and Shenhua were just single foreign players. Under such circumstances, local players have assumed more important tasks. On the scorer list, local players have basically suppressed foreign players in full swing.
According to statistics, the 10 rounds of 90 games in the first phase of the Chinese Super League, with a total of 240 goals and an average of 2.67 goals per game, which is a lot higher than the average of 2.54 goals per game in the 2021 season. Among the 240 goals, 7 own goals were scored, and the remaining 233 goals were scored. Local players scored 129 of them and foreign players scored 104 goals. Local players scored 25 more goals than foreign players, which was difficult to see in previous seasons. In 10 rounds of games, local players suppressed foreign players in 6 rounds of goals, and scored equally in 2 rounds, and only 2 rounds of goals were not as good as foreign players.
Let’s look at the performance of U23 players. In the first 10 rounds of the 2022 season, U23 players scored a total of 25 goals, with 18 goals scored: Zhang Wei (2000) 5 goals; Dai Weijun (1999), Zhu Chenjie (2000) and Han Dong (2001) scored 2 goals respectively; Chen Guokang, Xu Haoyang , Yang Yilin , Xu Yue, He Yupeng (1999), Wu Chengru, Bugrahan, Wang Haijian (2000), Ma Fuyu , Liu Zhurun (2001), Shi Yan (2002), Hu Hetao, Abulikmu (2003), Mutalifu (2004), and 14 players each had one goal.
U23 players have 25 goals, which is 0.28 per game, which is a certain increase from the 0.25 figure in the 2021 season. Among the 25 goals of young players, 18 goals were scored by post-00s players and 18 goals in 10 rounds of games, which is much better than the data of post-00s players scoring 26 goals in 22 rounds of the 2021 season. The number of goals scored by post-00s players and offensive efficiency of Chinese Super League players have been much better. Of course, the number of goals is only a reference for the U23 best lineup evaluation. When evaluating, it will also be based on the players' offensive and defensive data. The next step is the selection results of this newspaper.
The best team of U23 players selected by this newspaper is 433 formation .
forward line Zhang Wei, Han Dong, Shi Yan
Zhang Wei naturally performed well in the center position. This season, the Hebei team played as the youth army. Under this circumstance, Zhang Wei still scored 5 goals, and he won all the goals of the Hebei team. It can be said that Zhang Wei took on one shoulder to shoulder a team. Zhang Wei has height, speed, impact and small skills. He is the brightest U23 star in the 2022 season.
As for the positions of the two wingers, there are many candidates to choose from. The first choice of this newspaper is Han Dong, who is second only to Zhang Wei in the U23 player scorer list, and the other two players Dai Weijun and Zhu Chenjie are midfielders and backcourt players. Of course, Henan fans have been controversial about Han Dong's performance this season, but as a young player who is only 21 years old, he should be encouraged. With only 2 starts and 4 substitutes, such offensive data is already very good.
Another winger is selected as Shi Yan.Shi Yan is the main player of Tianjin Jinmen Tiger this season, with 6 starts and 3 substitutes, and the data is very good, with 1 goal and 1 assist. More importantly, in terms of another relatively important data and key pass, Shi Yan ranked first among U23 players, averaging 1 key pass per game. This data is higher than foreign players such as Fellaini, , Karanga, , etc. More importantly, he is only 20 years old this year and has a promising future.
Midfielder Dai Weijun, Wang Haijian, Xu Haoyang
Front-middle or offensive avant-garde. Such a key position is generally difficult to leave for domestic players, let alone U23 players. Fortunately, Dai Weijun, who is only 23 years old, has become the main force of the offensive avant-garde in Shenzhen team and the core of the offensive end, and he has gradually gained a place in the Chinese national team.
This season, Dai Weijun's performance is still outstanding, with 7 starts and 3 substitutes in 10 games, scoring 2 goals, and 5 assists. In the assist ranking list, he ranks second only to , Wuhan Sanzhen , Stanchu. If you consider the team's strength and the situation of the opponent in the competition area, it can be said that Dai Weijun's performance is indeed excellent.
back midfielder position is the most troublesome position. The roster of the national football team selection team selected Diliyimiti and Xu Yue. They have always been the main midfielder of the U23 national team. They have tacit cooperation and complementary abilities. In addition, Huang Jiahui can also be competent for the central defender and back midfielder position at the same time, and is a good candidate for defensive back midfielder. But if the league performance is the basis, the two midfielders selected by this newspaper are Wang Haijian and Xu Haoyang.
Wang Haijian's selection is impeccable: he started 8 times this season, helping Shenhua temporarily rank fourth in the league. In terms of offensive data, 1 goal and 1 assist are no less than those of a frontcourt player. His role is more than that. He performed very well in both defensive data: in terms of steals, Wang Haijian ranked third in the Chinese Super League; in terms of interception, Wang Haijian also ranked first. Based on his good physical conditions, he also played the physical advantages of young players, ran actively, and provided help to the team on both offense and defense.
In terms of Wang Haijian's partner, the targets selected are Xu Haoyang and Xu Yue. These two players are both Genbao Base 99/00 players. Among them, Xu Haoyang is loaned to Wuhan Three Towns this season. Xu Yue joined Shenzhen in the 2020 season and has loaned to Jiangxi Liansheng and Wuhan Three Towns, and has returned this season. It was finally decided to select Xu Haoyang as the best team. Although Xu Yue is more competent in the midfield and has world goals, Xu Haoyang's data is even better. He has scored 1 goal and 2 assists this season. He mainly plays in the midfield position, but he can also compete in the midfield position. In terms of steal data, Xu Haoyang ranks at the forefront.
defender Niu Ziyi , Zhu Chenjie, Huang Jiahui, He Yupeng
central defender position. Zhu Chenjie's age group is naturally unquestionable. He not only became the main central defender of Shanghai Shenhua team early, but also in the national team, he is also the main central defender. This season, Zhu Chenjie is the team's penalty kicker, scoring 2 goals. As a defender, he ranks among the top in the league in terms of passes and pass success rate. Of course, Zhu Chenjie's best is still his defensive data. Zhu Chenjie tops the interception list with 25 interceptions, and his rescue data is also at the forefront.
Another central defender has many candidates, such as Wu Shaocong and Jiang Shenglong , which were also selected for the national team, but in terms of league performance, it seems that Huang Jiahui is better. He is more of a midfielder in Dalian. But he is actually competent as a central defender. Huang Jiahui ranked 9th in the steal ranking list, second only to Wang Haijian among U23 players; ranked 10th in the clearance ranking list, ranking first among U23 players, and in addition, he is also in the top position in the interception ranking list.
The one that is difficult to choose is actually the full-back. The main left-back of the U23 national team is Wen Jiabao. He is also the captain of the U23 national team, but he did not participate in the game due to injury this season.For this reason, the left-back chose Niu Ziyi. He didn't play much this season, started three times and made two substitutes, giving 1 assist.
right back can be said to be a difficult position for the U23 national team. During the Dubai Cup, the performance of many defenders in this position could not satisfy Yankovic . However, in this year's league, a right forward player who played the right back performed well, and he is He Yupeng. He is in Dalian. He is the team's third-round right back. Because Tong Lei was affected by injury, He Yupeng on the top started four times this season and once scored 1 goal.
goalkeeper Han Jiaqi
As the only Chinese Super League U23 goalkeeper in the national football team selection team, Han Jiaqi has not played many times this season, with only three starts, but he is the only one who is the main goalkeeper in the best lineup of this age group. In addition, the goalkeeper Huo Shenping, aged Guangzhou team, also got a chance to play, which is commendable.
