This year's 24 participating teams in the Asian Cup, the average age of the players is 25.4 years old, the average age of the Chinese team is as high as 29.2 years old, much higher than the average age of nearly four years, and 12 of the 26-man roster is over the age of 30, which has become the oldest corps in this year's tournament.
China's 1-2 loss to Hong Kong in a warm-up match earlier caused heated discussions among netizens, and the outside world predicted that the national football team's chances of winning the championship were very low, with some mainland media even commenting on them as "old and weak", which meant that the players were older and weaker, and people did not have high hopes for the national football team.
Look at the list of national football, more than 30 years old there are 12 people, counting Yan Junling, Wang Dalei, Liu Dangzheng, Li Lei, Zhang Linpeng, Wang Shangyuan, Xie Pengfei, Wu Xi, Liu Binbin, Wang Qiuming, Wu Lei, Tan Long.
As for the price of the players, the average price of this year's players is 1.347 million euros, only Wu Lei's price is higher than the average, which is 1.5 million euros, and the whole team's price is only 11.33 million euros, which is not as much as the Japanese team's 317 million euros.
Another funny thing is that the National Football Team has chosen 5 captains, they are Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng, Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai and Yan Junling, some netizens said that the National Football Team is "shallow and there are a lot of wolves in the water, everyone is a big brother", which is quite appropriate.
