Han Jiaqi has now played 5 rounds for Guoan in the Chinese Super League and has been very consistent. He has achieved a shutout in 3 matches. Especially in Guoan's matches against Shandong Taishan and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, Han Jiaqi made many amazing saves to keep the team's goal intact, helping the team to win the opponents with two 2-0 scores.
Compared to Han Jiaqi, Zhang Yuan has seen significantly less playing time this season, accumulating 282 minutes in only 11 games. In the match against Jinmen Tigers, Guoan's main back Li Ke left the field due to injury, and Zhang Yuan was called upon to make his debut as a substitute. He not only helped Guoan plan the first goal, but also scored a goal in the last minute of injury time to help the team lock up a 2-0 victory. Such an outstanding performance won the recognition of the site to watch the game Ivankovic, and Zhang Yuan into the preliminary selection of the national football 55-man list.
It is also worth noting that Ivan also selected former Guoan player Hou Yongyong in this national soccer training. Hou Yongyong was naturalized and joined the Guoan team in 2019. Despite the naturalized player's excellent skills and awareness, he has not had many chances to play for Guoan due to a long-term knee injury.
Early last year, Hou Yongyong failed to renew his contract with Guoan after it expired, and chose to join Ranheim in the Norwegian League. This season, Hou Yongyong performed brilliantly, scoring 11 goals and contributing 5 assists in 15 league games. His outstanding form attracted the attention of national soccer coach Ivankovic, and he was successfully selected for the national team.
Sources understand that Ackerson will not be able to join the latest national team due to his poor form, with Hou Yongyong replacing him as the new naturalized player of the national football team. In addition, Chengdu Rongcheng's Wei Shihao will also not be part of the national team this time around due to a ban from the Football Association. His teammate Hu Huotao, on the other hand, has been selected for the national team for the first time, so the number of international players in the Rongcheng team has not actually decreased.
According to the news, the national football team will regroup after the quarter-final of the FA Cup. By then, the final list of players for the 18-team tournament will be formalized. Whether players can remain in the national football team depends on their performance in the league and national team training ......
