On March 27, the Chinese national team won a draw and a win in two consecutive World Cup qualifying matches against the Singapore national team. Barton was selected for the national team for both matches but did not make an appearance.
Barton quickly returned to the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers after last night's World Qualifier. According to information revealed by reporter Gu Ying, Barton has already returned to the team and participated in training on time today.
Last night, the match between the national soccer team and Singapore was held in Tianjin, the same city where the Zim Tigers played for Barton. As much as Tianjin fans would have loved to see Barton represent his country, unfortunately that wish was not granted. Barton, who has had an outstanding season, successfully assisting his teammates in the first two games of the Chinese Super League, will next take part in Tianjin TEDA's preparations for the away match against Changchun Yatai on Sunday afternoon.
