The Chinese Football Association (CFA) released the latest training list for the Chinese men's national soccer team today, and journalist Ma Dexing said in his own article that the list was disappointing because the matches between the National Olympic team and the Asian Games team had an impact on the selection of the national team's personnel, and as a result, Zhang Jiaqi, Liu Yang, Liu Binbin and Fernando were not included in the training list.
National soccer team's training roster disappoints
Most of the 24 players in this training are participated in the two training in March and June this year, the only can be regarded as a "new face" is from the Beijing Guoan naturalized player Li Ke, he was re-selected to the national team after almost 2 years.
For many fans, some of the players selected for the Chinese Super League have been disappointing with their mediocre performances and have even been criticized by fans. Especially in the play-offs of the AFC Champions League, the leading Chinese Super League team Shanghai Harbour was defeated at home by Thailand's Pathum United, which caused a strong reaction from domestic fans. However, in a surprise move, eight Harbour players were named in the latest roster announcement, surpassing Yankovic's record for the most number of players selected for one club since he took charge.
The National Olympic and Asian Games teams will have an impact on the selection of the national men's soccer team.
The fact that the 2001 age group U22 National Olympic Team is participating in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament and the 1999 age group U24 Asian Games Team is preparing for the Hangzhou Asian Games Men's Football Tournament has had an impact on the current Men's National Team, making it not the best and strongest it can be. This is due to the fact that there are a lot of younger and potential players of the right age who need to fulfill their playing duties for the National Olympic and Asian Games teams for the time being and therefore cannot be selected for the national team for the time being.
Zhang Jiaqi, Liu Yang, Liu Binbin and Fernando were not selected for the training list.
The return of Li Ke and Wu Xi resulted in Zhang Jiaqi, who was originally a defensive player for Zhejiang, losing his chance to start. As a result, Zhejiang, who successfully eliminated the Thai Premier League team in the AFC Champions League playoffs, no longer has national team players, while Harbour, who were eliminated by the Thai Premier League team, became the team with the most national team players.
Liu Yang was part of the last national soccer team training session, but disappeared from the list for this session. Instead, Barton, who represented the U24 Asian Games team in June, reappeared in the list, with the two swapping places. Djurdjevic felt that the defense on the sides, especially the left side, needed to be further strengthened, so he communicated with Shandong Taishan and Liu Yang himself. Eventually Liu Yang was persuaded to join the national team and Barton was sent back to the national team. Liu Yang will be one of the three overage players to participate in the preparation of the Asian Games team. And after Barton's return, Liu Binbin from Shandong Taishan was temporarily discarded. Although naturalized player Fernando has started playing in the Chinese Super League, his form has not yet reached its best, so the national soccer team did not include him in the squad.
