In preparation for the upcoming world qualifiers, Ivankovic has announced the 31-member training roster for the new national soccer team. The new list of the national team was announced with a somewhat surprising selection of local players. The player is Deng Hanwen, a right back from three towns in Wuhan.
Thanks to the China Cup tournament in early 2017, Deng Hanwen first came into the eyes of Chinese fans. In the beginning, 22-year-old Deng Hanwen was specially promoted to the national team by then national soccer coach Lippi. In the third place match against Croatia, Deng Hanwen sent a wonderful assist to his teammate Wang Jingbin to help the Chinese men's soccer team into a key goal. From then on, he became famous in the first world war. Now, Wang Jingbin has disappeared and has long faded away from Chinese fans. Deng Hanwen is still active in the Chinese Super League and has been abandoned by the Chinese national team time and again.
Although Deng Hanwen rose to fame in World War I at the China Cup seven years ago and was dubbed the future hopeful of the national soccer team, his career has not been very smooth. Guangzhou Evergrande and Three Towns of Wuhan, where he played, both suffered the embarrassing fate of boom and bust, and Deng Hanwen's personal fortunes have also risen and fallen.
Although Deng Hanwen has been playing well in the Chinese Super League, especially in recent seasons, he has become more and more mature in his three towns in Wuhan. His agile runs down the right side and forward assists have become a basic practice in the team's forward attack. In the past two seasons, he has contributed four goals and seven assists to Three Towns Wuhan. However, it is puzzling that Deng Hanwen, who has performed so well in the Chinese Super League, has not been utilized in the national team. Not only has Li Tie failed to utilize him, but Jankovic has also overlooked him as a dispensable chicken-shit international.
Therefore, Ivankovic's recruitment of Deng Hanwen this time is a bit unexpected. However, the writer believes that after Shanghai Harbour veteran Stanley Wong faded out of the national team, Ivankovic's recruitment of Deng Hanwen this time is a very wise decision and a sign that he cherishes talents. Because in the position of right back, the national soccer team is seriously short of people, except for Wang Zhenao, there is almost no one available. In addition, the 29-year-old Deng Hanwen is clearly superior to the young talent Wang Zhenao in terms of individual ability and game experience.
The stats show that Dunham is not only consistent defensively, but also fast, explosive and creative offensively. Ivankovic's recruitment of him will ensure that the right corridor of the national soccer team has enough influence. This is probably the reason why Ivankovic recruited Deng Hanwen as soon as he took office. I hope Deng Hanwen lives up to Ivankovic's expectations and delivers a satisfactory answer in the World Qualifiers.
