This newspaper reporter group reports On August 23, the national football team will gather in Dalian to prepare for the first two matches of the round of 18 against Japan on September 5 and at home against Saudi Arabia on September 10. On the morning of August 21, the Chinese Football Association announced the latest national team list live, which is quite novel for Chinese football, and it is undoubtedly very frank to start the journey of the top 18 of the national football team.
The live broadcast announced the list, and the host first interviewed Ivankovic, who introduced the team's preparation and the goal of the round of 18. In other words, before the release of the list, it was actually a live interview with Ivan, and the interview session lasted about 27 minutes.
The national football team will play Japan away for the first time on September 5, and about this game, Ivankovic said: "Japan is the strongest team in Asia, and we will go all out. We have prepared well for this match, and we have analyzed the previous game videos of the Japan team and laid out possible technical and tactical changes. ”
Looking back at the last match, which was also the last match of the round of 36, the match between China and South Korea, Ivan believes that the young players performed well: "The opponent was a world team and we showed courage in that game, four new players made their international debuts, and there were many young players who performed very well, which made everyone see that against any opponent, as long as you give it your all, they can't win easily, all we can do is not give up." ”
Ivan also introduced his selection criteria, "The criteria are always the same, and I hope that the players selected for the national team are modern players, who run more on the field, fight more, have the advantage of speed, are not afraid of opponents, and show full self-confidence, as long as the players who show these characteristics in the league, they are all within our scope of inspection." ”
Regarding the goal of the national football round of 18, Ivan said: "Our goal is short-term and long-term, the ultimate dream of the players and the team is to participate in the World Cup, it is not a simple process, our opponents in the qualifiers are very strong, the game will be very tough, let us fight one game at a time." Each of us has dreams and the opportunity to achieve them, and that's the most important thing. ”
Subsequently, Ivankovic announced the list of goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards, and a total of 27 people were selected for the latest list of the national team.
Goalkeepers: Bao Yaxiong, Liu Dianzuo, Wang Dalei, Yan Junling;
Defenders: Gao Zhunyi, Han Pengfei, Jiang Guangtai, Jiang Shenglong, Li Lei, Liu Yang, Wei Zhen, Yang Zexiang, Zhu Chenjie;
Midfielders: Cheng Jin, Huang Zhengyu, Li Yuanyi, Wang Haijian, Wang Shangyuan, Xie Pengfei, Xie Wenneng, Xu Haoyang;
Forwards: Alain, Baihelam, Fernando, Lin Liangming, Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning.
As far as this list is concerned, the vast majority of players have been selected for Ivankovic's list, and only Wei Zhen and Wang Haijian have not been selected for Ivankovic's national team list. Among them, only Wang Haijian was selected for the national team for the first time.
Compared with the 29-man list in the previous issue, the players who were not selected for the 27-man list this time are Wei Shihao, Gao Tianyi, Fang Hao, Li Shuai, Wang Zhenao, Aikesen and Xie Weijun, and the additional players are Lin Liangming (absent due to injury last time), Li Lei (absent due to injury last time, and then temporarily replaced), Wang Haijian and Wei Zhen. At that time, Li Yuanyi entered the list, but did not go to the national football team to report because he was suspended and banned for one game.
After the announcement of this list, it also means that the national football team will remain stable in terms of lineup, as for the newly selected players of Ivan's national team, it is unlikely that they will enter the main lineup at present.
As for the renewal of the national football team. In the previous round of 36, in addition to the original main force Zhu Chenjie, Xu Haoyang in 99, Jiang Shenglong, Xie Wenneng, and Baihelamu among the post-00 players have all been reused, among which Baihelamu is quite valued by Ivan. But on this basis, no further rejuvenation has been carried out. Of course, with the progress of the game, it is not ruled out that the Chinese football team will continue to be younger in the next 18 games.
Compared with the list itself, the live video method of announcing the list has attracted relatively more attention.
The day before the list was released, the Chinese Football Association officially announced the live broadcast list in advance. This made many fans wait in the live broadcast room early to pay close attention to the selection of international players. "We did this (live broadcast to announce the list) to let the selected players have a better sense of mission and responsibility, and come to the national team to represent the country in the World Preliminary Tournament, hoping that they will give their all and fight for the country until the last moment. In the previous two games at home, the fans came to cheer for us, so we also want to use this opportunity to bring us closer to the fans, and hope that the fans will come to the stadium to cheer for us more. Ivan explained the original intention of doing this in the live broadcast.
In fact, for this live broadcast, the Ministry of State Administration and Ford Bao Company have undergone careful planning and preparation. The announcement of the list of national teams in a transparent and open manner first reflects the open and frank attitude of the Chinese Football Association and the state management department in the management of the national team. This is not a press conference, this is a kick-off ceremony. The main purpose of this live broadcast is, first, to let the international players selected for the World Cup qualifiers have this sense of ceremony and honor; The second is also through such a ceremony, the head coach of the national team calls on Chinese fans to unite and support the Chinese national team.
In fact, the new release format is also to shorten the distance with fans and give the national team a window to fully display. Although there are still many flaws in the process of this live broadcast, this is a brave attempt by the national team and the Chinese Football Association. In the past, the release of the national team list was usually announced on the official website of the Football Association.
With the increasingly obvious trend of niche and personalization of the Internet, the new communication methods of new media have made the distance between communicators and audiences smaller, and the communication has become more equal. This kind of communication will greatly promote the fans' attention and participation in the national team, and is more conducive to eliminating the stereotypes and misunderstandings of fans about the national team in the past, which is very worthy of promotion and persistence.
"It's just that the background is a little dark, and if it can be presented in combination with 3D technology, it will be handsome." Most fans still welcomed this approach, and also made some technical suggestions for the roster presentation process, which could have been better if it had been continued.
The national team announced the squad live streaming, which is closer to the social media era and is not uncommon in international football. Many countries in Europe and the United States have taken similar measures for a long time.
Enrique's tenure at the helm of the Spain national team was full of tricks, and the official announcement of the national team squad almost became a short story with a changing theme.
Back in October 2018, Enrique announced the Spain squad by shooting a video in the dressing room as a shirt administrator, hanging the shirts of the selected players one by one in the closet. In August 2021, Enrique announced the Spain national team squad instead, with the national team backpacks with the players' names written on them hanging one by one on the players' wall cabinets in the dressing room.
Before the 2022 World Cup, Uruguay's official announcement of the squad was "map announcement". Former Shenhua foreign player and then Uruguay coach Die·go Alonso took the lead in the scene, unfolding the Uruguay map, pointing to the hometown of the selected players, and the names of each player in the squad were revealed in the video by the children, women, couples, streets, and goal crossbars of the players' hometowns. The way the England team announced the Qatar World Cup squad is to use the animation of football games, and the fans feel as if they are in the game world, young and interactive.
This year's European Championship Spain team announced the "child announcement" method of the squad by the players' families, which is very warm. The Belgium Football Federation uses the form of street graffiti player portraits, which is full of street art. The host Germany team announced the squad in a few days, or the whole people participated, and the process was full of suspense and interaction.
Therefore, from this point of view, the national football team's announcement of the training camp list by live video broadcast is a good start, but from the perspective of the live broadcast process, there is still considerable room for creative improvement.
