Why did Shanghai Haigang, the leader of the Chinese Super League, once again become a national football powerhouse? In June, the national football team played against Myanmar and Palestine in two matches
The Chinese Super League is about to enter a break period, and the FIFA match day window will also open. The Chinese men's football national team will welcome two international A-level warm-up matches. The Chinese national football team will face the Myanmar national team on the 16th and the Palestine national team on the 20th. The Chinese Football Association announced the latest training list on the 6th, and the Chinese Super League leader Shanghai Haigang team has 7 players selected, becoming a major player in the national football team.
On June 15th, the World Cup champions Argentina will face the Australian national team in Beijing, attracting the attention of fans. Many fans are curious: Messi and the Argentine team have both been sent to their doorstep, why doesn't the Chinese football team have a real match with the Argentine team?
Originally, the companies involved in operating Argentina's China tour lacked professional football experience. Although they had approached the Chinese Football Association to arrange warm-up matches for the national football team and Argentina, the Chinese Football Association had already arranged two warm-up matches for the national football team against Myanmar and Palestine, and there was really no schedule.
With the strength of Myanmar and Palestine teams, they are also among the third tier in Asia. The competitive value of the national football team and their warm-up cannot be higher than that of the World Cup champions Argentina. However, the Chinese Football Association also has practical considerations: if they lose too miserably against the Argentine team, they will naturally be influenced by public opinion. It is better to take a quiet and honest approach to playing against Asian teams.
After an unexpected away defeat to the Vietnamese team on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Chinese national football team seemed to have become a street mouse that everyone shouted for, and there was also a storm of fighting and anti-corruption in China, cleaning up the industry atmosphere. Former head coach of the Chinese national football team, Li Tie, has been investigated by the disciplinary inspection and supervision team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission stationed at the General Administration of Sport of China and the Hubei Provincial Supervisory Commission on suspicion of serious violations, causing the entire domestic football industry to fall into a slump.
Previously, the Chinese national football team challenged the New Zealand team twice away, but only achieved a record of 1 draw and 1 loss, missing out on a single victory. Against the backdrop of a downturn in the domestic football industry, the Chinese Football Association naturally hopes that the Chinese football team can find the feeling of winning soon, boost the morale of the team and fans, and also use a victory to sound the horn of preparing for the 2024 Asian Cup and the 2026 US Canada Mexico World Cup Asian qualifiers.
The list of Chinese football players selected by head coach Yangkovic this time focuses more on the performance of players in the Chinese Super League. Most of the players are the main players of the team, and they have delivered good data in scoring, assisting, intercepting and other offensive and defensive aspects. The number of international players transported by Shanghai Port, three towns in Wuhan and Mount Taishan in Shandong is far ahead of other clubs.
Among them, 7 people including Wu Lei, Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai, Wang Shenchao, Xu Xin and Wei Zhen were selected in the harbor; 5 people including Liu Dianzuo, Wei Shihao, Deng Hanwen, Xie Pengfei and Gao Zhunyi were selected in the three towns of Wuhan; 4 people including Wang Dalei, Sun Guowen, Liu Yang and Chen Pu were selected in Mount Taishan, Shandong.
