Who is Zheng Zhi’s successor in the “New National Football Team”?

Judging from the national football training roster, Jiangsu Suning's Wu Xi, Luneng's Hao Junmin, and Beijing Guoan's Zhang Xizhe are almost the "top three" in Lippi's mind.

Hao Junmin’s ability to hold the ball is top-notch, but his defense has never been ideal. This is the main reason why he has been in and out of the national team in recent years. At the same time, in terms of personality, if he succeeds Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin still needs to condense the domineering spirit of Zheng Zhi.

Wu Xi has been dubbed "Zheng Zhi's successor" for many years. In terms of overall view and ability to choose between offense and defense, Wu Xi is indeed the one closest to Zheng Zhi in the national football team.

A few years ago, Wu Xi was considered by the outside world to be the most suitable candidate to succeed Zheng Zhi. Compared with Zheng Zhi, who has excellent defensive positioning and is good at passing and organizing, Wu Xi has the ability and impact to step in later. Stronger, so he is also the most anticipated.

It seems that Wu Xi will take over smoothly, but Lippi tried his best to "plead for mercy" for Zhang Xizhe, who was punished by the Football Association at the pre-match press conference. This inference has changed, and from the national football team in recent days Judging from the training, Zhang Xizhe, who has a scalpel passing ability, is highly appreciated by Lippi. However, in terms of succession, the current Zhang Xizhe seems to be behind Wu Xi.
