Fox in the Penalty Area

Li Qingqing won the Golden Globe Award, and Hu Lai won the Bronze Ball Award. Before the excitement and excitement brought to Chinese fans had passed, Hu Lai had already embarked on a flight back to China.

He wants to join the national team to prepare for the top twelve games.

This is his return to the national team again after ten months. After the national team qualified for the top 12 in advance, head coach Jorge Dillon stopped recruiting Hu Jintao on the grounds of inspecting new players. Rai entered the national team.

He didn't play in the last two games of the top 40.

In addition, he had to prepare for the Olympics, so he did not participate in the "China Cup" in June.

Now that the Olympic Games are over and the National Olympic team has been disbanded, he can finally return to the national team. Also returning with him are Xia Xiaoyu and Zhou Zijing, both of whom also missed the national team competition for a long time because of the Olympic Games.

Fortunately, the top 40 competition is not difficult for the current Chinese team. Even if it lacks so many main players, the Chinese team has qualified for the top 12 competition two rounds in advance.

At the same time, what they gained in the Olympic team is also a good thing for returning to the national team because they can use their experience in the Olympics in the national team competition - they are all people who have seen big scenes.

In this top 12 tournament, the Chinese team is in a group with Japan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Thailand.

The six teams will play a double cycle of home and away games. The top two teams in the final points can directly qualify for the World Cup, while the third place will have to play two play-offs with the third place in another group. The winner will win again. Compete with the fifth-placed team in South America for the last ticket to the World Cup finals.

The goal of the Chinese team in this top 12 tournament is to directly qualify for the World Cup main event, instead of going through two rounds of play-offs to finally get a World Cup spot like they did four years ago.

This means that the Chinese team must get the top two in this group.

Their most direct competitors are of course the powerful Japanese team and the Iranian team.

Considering the current strength of the Chinese team, it can even be said that the only competitors are the Japanese team and the Iranian team.

Whether it is Iraq, Syria, or Thailand, it is difficult to compete with the Chinese team.

Of course, football is round, so don’t draw any conclusions until the final result comes out.

Because if you despise your opponent psychologically,

Then it is really possible that the boat will capsize in the gutter.

After all, this is the top 12 tournament, the highest level football tournament in Asia.

At this level of competition, anything can happen.

Therefore, we still have to maintain a humble and cautious attitude. On September 1st, the Chinese team will face Iraq at home, and on September 5th, they will challenge Thailand away from home.

The opponents in the first two games of the top 12 are not very strong, so the victory in these two games is certain.

If the Chinese team wants to compete with Iran and Japan for direct qualifying spots, it must ensure that it takes all three points from teams weaker than itself.

Hu Lai met a "new acquaintance" from the Olympic team in the national team.

The difference between "new acquaintances" and "old acquaintances" is that although they are familiar with each other, they have not known each other for a long time.

The "new acquaintance" naturally refers to Ou Yangjin.

After the Olympics, Ou Yangjin was selected into the national team by Jorge Dillon due to his outstanding performance in the Olympics.

The midfielder position has always been the weakness of the Chinese team.

This was especially true at last year's Asian Cup.

So much so that many Chinese fans started to want to naturalize Morikawa Junpei - of course it's impossible, so they just wanted to do it.

Previously, the main defensive midfielder of the Chinese national team was veteran Jiang Wanqing. He had participated in the World Cup and was considered the top defensive midfielder in the country.

But as he gets older, his current condition is not as good as before.

This time in the top 12, Dillon simply didn't recruit him.

Although Jiang Wanqing has not announced his retirement from the national team, everyone knows that his national team cycle is over.

After Jiang Wanqing, the person who can take over is Gao Ruimin.

The main defensive midfielder of the last Olympic team was originally very capable. However, a serious injury in the World Cup interrupted his upward momentum and caused his condition and ability to decline.

In addition, Ou Yangjin's rapid rise is really fierce, so Gao Ruimin may not be able to secure his position as the team's main midfielder in this top 12 match.

Of course, he is definitely still the main force now.

Because after Jiang Wanqing, there is indeed no more suitable candidate than him in the country at this stage.

Although Ou Yangjin performed well in the Olympics, he had never played for the national team before. This was his first time playing in the top 12, so he needed some time to adapt.

However, being able to join the national team is already a great improvement and victory for Ou Yangjin.

In addition to Ou Yangjin, the captain of the Olympic team, center back Cai Shuyi, was promoted from the Olympic team to the national team.

Yao Huasheng, the original main center back of the national team, is already thirty-five years old. As he ages, his physical function declines and he cannot keep up with the requirements.

Although he was still selected for the national team in this top 12 tournament, he will almost certainly not be able to serve as the main force like he did in the last top 12 tournament.

The Chinese team is currently playing a three-center-back formation. In addition to Wang Guangwei, the original two center-backs are Yao Huasheng and Mao Junzheng. Mao Junzheng's problem is the same as Yao Huasheng's, they are older - Mao Junzheng He is one year younger than Yao Huasheng.

So I'm afraid they won't even be able to finish the top 12 tournament.

Wang Guangwei's current partners are 34-year-old Mao Junzheng and 27-year-old Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was the main center back of the Olympic team four years ago, and has always been the main player in the club. He used to be in Lingnan Poseidon, but now he has gone to Hedong Thunder and served as the captain of Hedong Thunder.

After four years of training, although he has not been able to play abroad, he is still the leading central defender in the country.

Cai Shuyi is the captain of the Olympic team and currently plays football for Shanhaimen. His performance in the Olympic team was quite satisfactory.

Although he is not as popular as Ou Yangjin, he has faced many outstanding young forwards in the world.

I have accumulated a lot of experience and seen the world.

He can gradually adapt to the national team competition during the top 12 competition, and may become a useful supplement to the defense.

Although during the period when Hu Lai and the others temporarily withdrew from the national team, Dillon spread his heroic message widely and recruited many new international players who were not in the national team before for inspection.

But it does not mean that Dillon will overthrow the lineup he chose. If there is no surprise, the main lineup of the Chinese team for this top 12 competition should be similar to the previous top 40 competition, and there will be no personnel adjustments.

The main forwards are definitely Hu Lai and Zhou Zijing, and the main midfielders are Zhang Qinghuan, Xia Xiaoyu, Gao Ruimin, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai. The main defenders are Wang Guangwei, Mao Junzheng and Liu Yan. The main goalkeeper is Lin Zhiyuan.

This is the strongest lineup that Chinese football can currently produce, and it is also the most mature lineup.

Compared with its main competitors, the Japanese team and the Iranian team, the thickness of the bench is slightly worse.

However, the ceiling of the Chinese team's main lineup is higher than that of Japan and Iran.

After all, it has a European Bronze Ball winner.

※※Hu Lai, who returned to the national team, was still surrounded by media reporters asking him what it was like to win the Bronze Ball Award.

Hu Lai always refused to answer such questions:

"I came back to participate in the World Cup qualifiers. If you ask me questions related to the World Cup qualifiers,

I'll be happy to answer. "

The reporters reacted quickly when they saw this. Someone immediately asked: "Well, Hu Lai, can we reach the World Cup finals this time?"

Hu Lai gave a decisive answer: "Absolutely, otherwise wouldn't our work be in vain?"

He was very eloquent on this issue because there was no "room for maneuver" on this topic.

Since you are here to participate, do you still want to say, "I don't know if we can make it to the finals?"

Doesn’t that mean you have no faith?

But how can there be no confidence in such a thing?

There must be!

As the number one player in Chinese football, you don’t have such confidence. What do you think of others?

You yourself don’t believe that the Chinese team can reach the World Cup finals, so why bother struggling?

When the media present heard what Hu Lai said, no one thought Hu Lai was "arrogant". On the contrary, they were very happy after hearing it - Hu Lai said this, and everyone felt more relieved!

After all, a player who has just won the European Bronze Ball Award is not arrogant to say "make it to the World Cup".

Today's Hu Lai is no longer the "nobody" who said he wanted to win the World Cup but was severely criticized.

.

Now, even if he repeats his "goal" to win the World Cup, although there will still be many people who don't believe that he can do it, they can still smile and praise, "This is the confidence of a super genius" instead of He scolded him for not knowing what the heavens and the earth are and for trying to please others by grandstanding...
