On August 21, Beijing time, the coach of the Chinese men's football team, Ivankovic, announced the new 27-member training list of the national team through live broadcast. Except for Wei Shihao, who was in doubtful form due to a long-term suspension, this list basically follows the lineup of the last two rounds of the previous round of 36. There is only one newcomer in the real sense, Shenhua midfielder Wang Haijian. Harbor central defender Wei Zhen was selected for the first time to be coached by Ivan.
And every time the latest list of the national team is released, there will always be many questions, and this time is no exception. First of all, the list of the top 18 of the national football team was questioned as nothing new. Zhao Yu said bluntly: "There is basically nothing new in the list of the national football team. It's better to take Abibulla with the U16 team, this kid plays well, even if it rewards him for training, and the young people have to come up. ”
In the previous Four Nations Tournament, the 16-year-old national youth No. 10 Abibulla performed well, scoring a wonderful one-time goal against Japan, and he was also expected to become China's "Yamal". But considering that the round of 18 is so important, Ivankovic obviously does not dare to risk such a young player.
Secondly, Shenhua's two main midfielders, Wu Xi and Gao Tianyi, were not selected for the national football team, but Wang Haijian, Xie Pengfei and Xu Haoyang on the bench were selected. Especially Gao Tianyi, because the previous round of 36 against Thailand's defense carelessly let the opponent score, Gao Tianyi was completely abandoned by Ivankovic. The game against Korea was directly excluded from the squad, and the first two rounds of the round of 18 were directly lost, so Ivan's decision to abandon an international player in his playing year is indeed incomprehensible.
Third, Ivan only recruited 27 internationals this time, but still brought 4 goalkeepers, which is really not too necessary. Shenhua goalkeeper Bao Yaxiong, who was in his playing year, was excluded from the list of participants for two consecutive rounds after being selected, and this time it is estimated that this time it is likely to be so.
In addition, there is only one real defensive back in the midfield of the national football team, Huang Zhengyu, and he is not the main force that Ivan values. Moreover, the midfielders selected for the national football team are all sapper players, and their creativity is insufficient. Many netizens have lamented that in the face of Japan and Saudi Arabia, which are much stronger than the national football team, the national football midfield may really be "blown up".
