The smooth development of Nakada Hideho, Zheng Zhi, Yang Chen, Fan Zhiyi in Europe has made both Japanese football and Chinese football at the forefront of Asia. However, another football powerhouse, South Korea, cannot report on their media because there are no outstanding players studying abroad in Europe, so they can only put the report on the Asian Games football event that has just begun.

If they failed to find an advantage in Europe, they could only find it within Asia. They hoped that there would be players among the younger generation of South Korea to emerge and play football in Europe.

At the same time, almost all China, Japan and South Korea held press conferences at the same time and announced their list of trips to the Asian Games. The list composition of the three countries is very interesting.

South Korean coach Xu Dingmao said in a press conference in Busan: "13 of the 20 Korean players are Olympic-age players and 7 over-age players. Among the over-age players, 4 are professional players from the club and 3 are military players. The formation of this team is aimed at the qualifiers of the 2000 Olympic football match. Young players are mainly selected from students from second to third grades of university."

When talking about the goals of the Korean Asian Games team in the Asian Games, Xu Dingmao said, "Our team is not the best team, but it is not a weak team. Our Korean team's goal is the same as before, which is to strive for the best results and play the best level in the game."

Chinese team head coach Horton held a press conference in Shanghai. He introduced: "Of the 20 players of the Chinese Asian Games team, 14 are eligible players to participate in the Olympics, and 7 of them are from the former Jianlibao football team. This group of young players will be the backbone of our national Olympic team. After the Asian Games, they will also participate in the qualifiers of the Olympic football matches in the Asian region. The other 6 are over-age players, namely goalkeeper Jiang Jin, defender Fan Zhiyi, Zhang Enhua, forward Ma Mingyu, forward Hao Haixi and Yang Chen."

When talking about the Asian Games goals set by the Chinese Football Association, Horton said: "Whether it is to enter the top four or strive to enter the top four, it has no meaning to me. My task is to lead this team to play games one by one, strive to be able to play to the end and win the championship. This is what I should do as a coach."

However, when the Korean reporters got the Chinese team's roster, the reporters immediately started to scold.

"What a disgusting Chinese, they even recruited foreign players. Why don't they just take the championship medal home?"

"Look at our Republic of Korea, have we recalled players who play in Europe? No, we didn't do that, we are still mainly young players in China!"

"They're good, they have recalled all the main core players! These core players are all over the age of age!"

"If this lineup cannot win the championship, see if they dare to brag about how many players they have in Europe in the future?"

Sometimes, I have to admire the thinking of Korean kangzi. Their angle of thinking about problems is always so weird. Don’t they also have over-age players in South Korea? And there are 7 players, one more than China. The most important thing is, does South Korea have famous players in Europe?

No...

They are just jealous, jealous of the fact that there are so many Chinese players studying abroad in Europe and doing so well...

After receiving the rosters from China and South Korea, Trusier said proudly: "I heard that China, Iran and others have sent adult national teams, and we are satisfied if we can reach the semi-finals. What we pay attention to this time is the content of the game, not the result."

At the Hiroshima Asian Games four years ago, the Japanese team, who played locally, lost to South Korea in the quarter-finals and failed to enter the semi-finals. But Trussie is still full of confidence in the future.

"We are currently plagued by the uneven lineup. Especially in their forward line, the main striker Atsushi Yanagawa and the young under 19-year-old Naota Takahara represent Kashima and Iwata to compete in the J League championship battle for this year, and will not be able to participate in the training camp at all. Another striker, Hiromi Kojima, who has been in good shape recently, has withdrawn from the training camp due to a knee injury and will definitely not be able to participate in the Asian Games."

"but!"

"Because of this, I hope more talents can emerge. Those unknown players have the opportunity to prove themselves."

"We will not recall Nakada Hidehoku, we will leave the opportunity to the young people."

"We will not recruit over-age players, because this will also occupy the quota of young people."

Three countries have different attitudes and selected different players. China and South Korea want results and also want to train national Olympic players, so the lineup is mixed, while the Japanese team directly plays as players of appropriate age. Their goal is to be in the future.

Trussier's words must have offended both China and the Korean Football Association. His words were full of pure ridicule. But what he said actually makes sense.

In China, there are actually different opinions. Some footballers do not agree to attending the Asian Games through mixed compilation.

Ma Dexing of the Sports Weekly believes that this approach is meaningless. He personally wrote in the column of the newspaper: "I can understand the idea of ​​wanting results and training newcomers, but don't I feel it contradictory before making this decision? The result of the mixed compilation is actually mainly composed of over-age players in the national team and supplemented by the National Olympic team. Such a person can really train newcomers? Even if half of the newcomers can become the main force, what about the other half?"

"In this regard, the Japanese Football Association's approach is very good. They regard the Asian Games as an opportunity to train troops. Next year's Olympic qualifiers will be the real finals."

"The Asian Games are not as good as the Asian Cup, and they don't even count as a useless person, why bother?"

"Let Yang Chen, Zheng Zhi and others play in Germany, Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi and others play in the League One, let Li Jinyu play in the Ligue 1 well, and let players of the national Olympic age play in the Asian Games well, that's right!"

"After this trouble, it will be unfavorable for those players who play as the main players in European clubs. For the sake of the Asian Games, they are struggling and risking becoming a substitute again to Bangkok. This is definitely a thankless decision..."

"How can you win the future if you don't know how to choose?"

Ma Dexing may have drunk a lot of Erguotou when writing the article, otherwise how could he dare to write such an article?

Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai are not as lucky as Yang Chen and Zheng Zhi. They flew to Bangkok this weekend to meet the national team, while Yang Chen and Zheng Zhi continued to fight for Frankfurt this weekend...

Zheng Zhi was very excited to face Bayern Munich at home. He has not yet considered reporting to Bangkok, but only thought about how to play the weekend game.

Today, Klose came to his house again. This time he was not here to do carpenters, but to find Wu Di.

"Think about it?"
