According to the Beijing Youth Daily, the Chinese
national soccer team
The association will put together a nearly 55-player roster for the National Football League's 18-team tournament this week
Initial enrollment list
Submission to AFC. According to the AFC's requirements, teams participating in the 18-team tournament must complete the preliminary registration of players for this stage of the tournament by August 5 at the latest. Although there is no limit to the number of players who can register for the preliminary rounds, players who will participate in each round of the 18-team tournament must be included in the preliminary registration lineup, so the Football Association will submit this list in advance.
From a technical point of view, Wei Shihao is still one of the few players in the team's attacking line who has the ability to break through opponents head-on. From the point of view of the preparation for the 18-team tournament and the interests of the competition, the national team can still consider including him in the roster lineup. However, whether Wei Shihao can participate in the new training program starting in late August still needs to be carefully considered by the team management and coaching team.
Since completing his 36-match campaign, Wei Shihao has been unable to get consistent playing time at the club, and with a five-match suspension coming up, it's hard to guarantee his athleticism. Under these circumstances, the coaching staff is afraid that it will be difficult to take the risk of using him in major matches against strong teams such as Japan and Saudi Arabia.
The 55-player preliminary registration list submitted by the Football Association within this week will include players with outstanding performances in domestic and international leagues, aiming to ensure the competitiveness of the national team in the 18-team tournament. After the preliminary registration list is submitted, the coaching staff will make specific personnel selections before each round of matches based on the players' competitive status, injuries and other factors.
As the National Football Team's 18-team tournament approaches, the team's preparations are in full swing. Regardless of the final list, the national team will go all out to achieve good results in the 18-team tournament and win glory for Chinese soccer.
