Controversy? The 26-year-old Chinese midfielder shines in Europe and still loses the national football team! 26 goals in 28 games + leading the scorer list

On November 4, Beijing time, the Chinese men's football team announced the 27-man training list for the top 18 matches against Bahrain and Japan. Wu Lei, Wei Shihao, Jiang Guangtai, Wang Dalei, Zhang Yuning and other cores are still listed, and Xie Wenneng and Bai Helamu The two new stars also continue to be selected. And Hou Yongyong, a 26-year-old Chinese player who has attracted much attention, is still not selected for the national team list.

In the 29th round of the Norwegian Liga last weekend, Lanheim swept their opponents 6-2. In that game, Hou Yongyong, who played the whole game, scored 1 goal in each half and scored two goals to shine in the whole game, and he also scored the highest score of 8.9 points. After this double match, Hou Yongyong has scored 18 goals, 8 assists and 26 goals in 28 games in the Norwegian First Division this season, temporarily leading the scorer list. The 26-year-old is currently worth €300,000 on Transfermarkt.

Although the level of the Norwegian First Division may be low in Europe, it is still very rare for a player of Chinese descent to sit firmly in the main force in the European League and deliver such dazzling statistics. It is worth noting that Hou Yongyong still retains Chinese nationality, which also means that he is still eligible to represent the Chinese national team.

Considering that Hou Yongyong is an organizational offensive player that the national football team urgently needs, Ivankovic turned a blind eye to such a player who was in hot form and was in his playing year, and was not even willing to give the opportunity to be recruited into the list for training and inspection, which is indeed a little incomprehensible.
