Fernando is frequently absent from naturalized players due to injury
According to the plan, the Chinese men's football team will be concentrated in Shanghai on March 21, followed by a two-week training camp.
However, the day before the start of the training, the coaching staff of the National Football Team received bad news from the Guangzhou team that the wing assaulter and naturalized player Fernando was injured.
Fernando is also absent from the current national football training camp.
This means that among the 4 naturalized players who received the notice of recruitment, only Exon and Alan can participate in this training session.
When similar accidents occur one after another, head coach Li Tie may have to make plans for some naturalized players who may miss the top 40 games.
Only two naturalized players can be recruited
The Chinese Men's Football Team plans to conduct the second training session of the year at Houpaier Sports Park in Minhang District, Shanghai from March 21st to April 3rd.
Since this training session is also the last training session before the start of the semi-finals of the top 40, the head coach has recruited players with the best ability and best will in the current Super League clubs, except for Wu Lei who played in Spain and the injured Zhang Linpeng. 28 players participated in this training session.
Regrettably, just a few days before the start of the training camp, the captain Hao Junmin was injured during the warm-up match on behalf of the Taishan team. The naturalized player Jiang Guangtai also missed the training camp for some reason.
In this case, the national football coaching staff had to recruit Xu Xin and defender Zheng Zheng from the Taishan team.
However, just late on March 20, the coaching staff received another regrettable news that Fernando, a wing attacker and naturalized player, was also injured in the preparations for the club with the club, and he was therefore missed. Participate in this national football training camp.
As a result, among the 4 naturalized players recruited, only Alan and Exxon were able to join the team, and they happened to be the only two naturalized players who participated in the Haikou National Football Training Camp of the previous period.
Missing is not good for the national team's running lineup
The original intention of the national football team to recruit naturalized players is to strengthen the team's strength, thereby enhancing the team's competitiveness in the Qatar World Cup.
However, judging from the situation in the first half of the top 40 match, the national football team, which had two naturalized players like Exon and Li Ke at the time, did not show super strength. The national football team is still behind the top 40 team leader Syria by a huge gap of 8 points. .
In this case, the then coach Lippi resigned and local coach Li Tie replaced him early last year.
In the past year, four naturalized players, Luo Guofu, Fernando, Alan, and Jiang Guangtai, have also been qualified to represent the national football team, and have participated in the training sessions of the national football team at different stages in the past.
It can be seen that Li Tie appreciates their ability in the professional league and hopes that they can play their due role at the national team level.
However, affected by the epidemic, among the few naturalized players with suitable conditions, except Exxon, who has always stayed in China, can maintain full attendance, the rest have been absent from part of the national football training camp for various reasons.
In particular, Fernando and Jiang Guangtai, who were absent from this training session, have outstanding offensive and defensive capabilities, and are fully qualified for the main players of the national football team.
Their absence is undoubtedly detrimental to the running-in lineup and formation of the national football team.
Players have been absent one after another to remind the coaching staff
As the news of Fernando's injury and retirement was not confirmed until the day before the national football training camp, the coaching staff has not yet thought of further recruiting players.
Among the international players participating in this training session, there are also good players such as Wei Shihao, Wu Xinghan and Yin Hongbo.
However, the successive absence of players actually reminds the national football coaching staff-because before the second half of the top 40 match, the nationals have to represent the club in the 5 rounds of the Super League, so it is not ruled out that some nationals or even the absolute main players are The possibility of accidents such as injury or illness during this period.
In this case, Li Tie must make a "risk assessment" and response plans for various situations including extreme situations.
In other words, it is absolutely undesirable to put excessive hope on naturalized players.
According to requirements, all international football players must arrive at the team's hotel in Minhang District, Shanghai before 12 noon on the 21st to report.
It is understood that the first national football team to arrive this season is full-back Tang Miao from Guangzhou City Club.
According to the arrangement, after the team arrives at the station, they will undergo a nucleic acid test before lunch.
