Kashuai’s on-the-spot command is very serious and helpless.
Wei Shihao is very active on the court and has a lot of foul actions.
The Chinese cup failed two games and failed to score one goal, and finally ranked at the bottom.
Last night, the 3rd “China Cup” Football Championship ended in Nanning, Guangxi. In third place match, the Chinese men’s football team lost 0-1 to Uzbekistan, winning the fourth and last place in this competition. As the first battle of the national football team after the UAE Asian Cup, this China Cup is regarded as a small test for the new generation of national football team and the temporary coach Cannavaro, but judging from the performance of the two games, the general’s performance obviously failed.
After Zheng Zhi and other veterans faded out, the national football team in the new era faced the dilemma of blue and yellow. This was not something that a manager could solve in a few days. The defeat of the Chinese Cup was only the beginning of another trough of the national football team. As Cannavaro said before the match, compared with the impact of the World Cup, we should be more down-to-earth to play the talent Taki.
Review
It is too unfamiliar to form a team in a hurry.
On March 21, the first battle lost to Thailand from 0 to 1, and the new coach Cannavaro failed to welcome the start. It was only 6 days before Cannavaro took over the national training team pointer. Time is tight and the task is heavy, which is the problem facing Cannavaro and this new national football team.
The national football team gathered in Nanning on the evening of 15th. After a little rest, Cannavaro made a training plan for the team for two exercises a day. The intensity is greater than that of the national football team in the Lippi era, and it also exceeds the training volume of most players in the club.
Ka Shuai did not relax tactical drills. Many team members said in an interview that Ka Shuai tried a variety of personnel matching and tactical playing methods, hoping to inject more technical content into the new national football team. Therefore, in the first battle in Thailand, three technical midfield teams, Zhang Shizhen, Wang Yongpo and Zhan Junmin, were sent to cooperate with Wu Xi, a combination of the assault midfield.
Kasai’s ideal is full. He hopes to ease the offensive problem of the national football team through technical midfield, but the reality is also very cruel. The degree of unfamiliar cooperation among the national football team members, it is completely beyond the expectation of card Shuai, and too much bias on technology also lays hidden dangers on the defensive end. In the second battle in Uzbekistan, Kasai adjusted 5 people in the first episode and changed the formation to 433, but the attack style was not clear, and the problem of untacit Coordination of Defense lines still existed.
Reform must be accompanied by pains. Cannavaro cannot be denied completely because of the failure of the Chinese Cup. But for Cannavaro, what kind of playing method is suitable for the ability of Chinese players and what kind of football they can play is what he must consider in the future.
Prospect
Kashuai’s part-time job is not a long-term solution.
Cannavaro coached the national training team, and many fans thought he was not an ideal candidate. In addition to worrying about his coaching ability, opponents also have his status as Evergrande coach. A coach coached clubs and national teams at the same time, which was rare in world soccer field.
The first problem encountered when I was in both positions was to select and employ people. Of the 24 international players who participated in the China Cup this time, 8 were from Evergrande. Recalling a series of operations during the winter transfer period of Evergrande and the rumors that Evergrande was going to be the bottom of the national training team, this result was not surprising.
Judging from the arrangement of soldiers in the two games, it is relatively fair for Ka Shuai to employ people. There were 4 Evergrande international players who started against Thailand. It was not surprising that Zhang Linqi and Feng xiaiting could start the game, while Wei Shihao and Gao Zhun wing joined Evergrande again. In the second battle, Uzbekistan changed the array of 433, cannavaro left five Evergrande players in the starting line-up. Of course, coaching ability is the hard indicator to test Cannavaro. The situation of having two positions may make the disadvantages of these two aspects continue to enlarge.
Cannavaro has not signed a contract with the Football Association and is still the acting head coach. However, at present, this construction mode of the national football team has been recognized by relevant departments. If this mode continues to develop, Cannavaro will continue to coach the national football team, and the only problem is full-time or part-time. There are still five months to go before FIFA World Cup qualification in September. Cannavaro needs a title score, otherwise it is likely that the national football team will be in vain to attack the Qatar World Cup.
Thinking
In the next 10 years, we will still face a dilemma.
This national football training team failed in the China Cup, perhaps as early as people expected. From the beginning of the Asian Cup, Lipi decided to use the veteran to do the last fight, Chinese football was destined to face a new trough, and it would be deeper than before.
In recent years, the players who support the adult national team are mainly concentrated in the 1985-1988 age group, while a few outstanding young players are mainly from Genbao base. Cannavaro took over, and the alternation between the old and the new was actually the biggest challenge. The senior generals are getting older and their status is declining, while the newcomers are embarrassed and responsible, which is a problem that the national football team must face in the future.
In fact, looking back at the record of the youth’s national character in recent years, the decline of the National Football today is not so abrupt. The last time the National Youth (U19) participated in the world youth competition dates back to 2005, and it has been missed for 7 consecutive times so far; The last time the National Youth (U16) entered the world youth competition was also in 2005, it was also absent for 7 consecutive times. Compared with the international competition results of Thai and Uzbekistan Youth national names in the same period, China and the two are the same relationship.
The failure of talents is the root cause of Chinese football. The fork in the road of choosing talents and cultivating talents in Chinese football these years is the root cause of the lack of success. When the 26-year-old and only 1.58-meter-old son krassing scored easily in front of 34-year-old Feng Xiaoting, when China U19 national youth lost 1-2 to Thailand in the 23-day friendly match, since then, the football between China and Thailand has officially parted ways.
A person who deeply cultivates youth football analyzed that the number of registered players in China from 2001 to 2004 is worrying, among which the number of registered players in 2001 is only about 1,000. It is difficult for Chinese football to get rid of the dilemma at least in the next 10 years or even longer.
Observation
The organization of China Cup is meticulous
The level of the national football team is still in place, but the China Cup competition is gradually maturing. In many aspects such as competition organization, media service and logistics support, the 3rd China Cup is impressive.
At this stage, the national football team is in the reconstruction period. In order to meet the warm-up needs of the team, the organizers have made great efforts in inviting opponents and organizing the competition. It is understood that the organizers had intended to invite the Argentine team to participate in this China Cup, but in view of the poor record of the national football team against the strong teams in the previous two china cups, the Thai team temporarily replaced. Moreover, the original first match opponent of the national football team was Uruguay. In order to make the national football team successfully advance to the final, the relevant parties replaced the first match opponent with the Thai team.
The organizer’s “consideration” to the team is also reflected in some details. It takes three or four minutes to walk from the dressing room in Guangxi Sports Center to the No. 2 training ground, which is about 500 meters away. In order to avoid accidents when the players were walking on the road wearing spike sneakers, the organizer prepared two electric ferry bus outside the dressing room to transport the players to the training ground. During each training, at least one ambulance and more than a dozen security personnel were on standby outside the site.
In addition, such details are also reflected in media services. An electronic system for face recognition and document scanning is set up in the dedicated channel of media and staff. Such advanced equipment has not been fully popularized even in the Super League. Many reporters lamented that “they found the feeling of interviewing the World Cup”.
Media certificates with frosted skin, Internet access cue card per person, continuous media work meals, free raincoats and cheer T-shirts placed on each auditorium before the competition, the detailed details everywhere reflect the organizer’s pursuit of making the Chinese Cup better and better.
