On June 10, Beijing time, China Men's Football Team announced the latest training list with 28 players. These players will go to Shanghai for training for about 5 days during the National Day. However, this list has caused great controversy. This is because as a relegation team, as many as four players from Wu Hanyou were selected, more than the teams competing for the championship in Shanghai and Jiangsu Suning. Therefore, Li Tie was once again branded as cronyism.
If ordinary media reporters and fans question it, even Han Qiaosheng, a well-known commentator of CCTV, has publicly fired on social media. Han Qiaosheng said that posting the national team training list caused controversy. First of all, since the World Cup qualifiers have been postponed to March next year, what is the purpose of this training? Secondly, there are four players from Wuhan Zall, and other champion teams are rarely selected except Beijing and Evergrande.
Third, many injured players have been selected, such as Wei and Hao Junmin, who have been recovering recently. So what is the purpose of choosing them? Fourth, why are some powerful players not selected? Also a naturalized player, Alan scored 6 goals, assisted 1 time and scored 7 goals in 14 games. Why didn't such a player get the chance to be selected? In fact, every time the China team publishes the list, it may be questioned. I hope Li Tie can respond to the query with the results.
If nothing else, Li Tie is not the time for 1 about cronyism. In fact, Li Tie has directly recruited many players in Wuhan, including Liu Yun and Li Hsing, since he led China's second-tier team to the East Asian Cup at the end of last year. The strength of these people is far from being able to play in China's national team, but it may be that they can help Li Tie in carrying out the tactical intention of the head coach, so Li Tie is willing to use these more obedient players.
However, Han Qiaosheng does have a point. Apart from the nepotism of the coach, China started training this time in the absence of competition, in fact, in order to seize the rare opportunity to run in the lineup. But since it is to run in the lineup and increase the tacit understanding between players, wouldn't it be better to boldly let some new faces enter the national team, especially some young reserve forces? Therefore, in terms of employing people, Li Tie also made the same mistake as Lippi's predecessor and was conservative.
