“The captain of the Chinese team plays terribly, constantly makes serious mistakes”
In a recent article, the Sohu (China) expressed disappointment at the performance of the captain of the national team China in the 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia – Zhang Linpeng:
“Captain Wu Xi of China was not able to play in the match against Saudi Arabia, so the captain’s armband was given to the old general Zhang Linpeng. However, the player had a bad day and made two serious mistakes. If it weren’t for Zhang Linpeng’s poor performance, China wouldn’t have played so badly and even had a chance to win.
The captain should have been exemplary and stable, but Zhang Linpeng kept making mistakes. He picked a poor position, was blindly confident in himself and passed the ball badly.”
According to Sohu2 serious mistakes that Zhang Linpeng made were all amateur handling phases:
“In the first situation, then Zhang Linpeng was holding the ball. However, the Chinese captain handled the error, made an incorrect pass and was robbed by Saudi Arabia, and organized a counter-attack. Right after that, the player on the Saudi side hit a shot right near the edge of the penalty area. Fortunately for China, the opponent’s shot was not good enough to get a goal.
In the 60th minute, goalkeeper Yan Junling made an excellent save, but that save came after a huge mistake by Zhang Linpeng. Earlier in the attack situation of Saudi Arabia, Linpeng was the player facing Al-Dawsari. But instead of keeping his distance and waiting for his teammates to come to support, he was hasty, rushing to steal the ball but was easily passed by the opponent.
However, goalkeeper Junling played too well in this phase and saved the Chinese goal from Al-Dawsari’s kick. Anyway, Zhang Linpeng is still to blame.”
“These two situations are both serious mistakes that Linpeng should not have made. As the captain, he will be more and more responsible for such amateur tackles. If China unable to hold a draw with Saudi Arabia, Linpeng will be the culprit.
Yu Dabao also had a very bad game and somewhat covered up Linpeng’s mistake. But we still have to say Linpeng’s problem is very serious.” – China’s newspaper concluded.
In addition to Zhang Linpeng, Yu Dabao is also a name being targeted by the Chinese media with a poor performance against Saudi Arabia. Sheet Sohu Write: “The million-dollar salary star is as lazy as a leper, he should be kicked out of the Chinese team.”
