Chance always favors those who are prepared, and this saying also applies to Umitijiang. While playing for Wuhan Three Town in the Chinese Super League, Gumitijiang performed very solidly. Many fans thought he was an intelligent and physical center back who could be selected for the national team in the future. Sure enough, after watching a few of his matches, the national football team's head coach, Ivankovic, included Gumitijiang in the national team's 52-man roster for the 18-team tournament in order to focus on the iron defender.
Meanwhile, Ivankovic plans to include Gumitijan in the training session in Dalian. It is worth mentioning that Antonio, the new U21 head coach, also included Gumitijiang in the roster, which gave him a chance to wear the national team's uniform. Unfortunately, no sooner had he gotten the chance to train with the national team than he suffered a serious injury. This serious injury has basically ended his season, and he will have to wait until next season's Chinese Super League at the earliest before he can make his comeback. In this regard, the senior management and coaching staff of Wuhan Three Town hope that he can recuperate properly. It is hoped that after recovering next season, Gumitijiang will be able to work his way back to the top of his career.
