With the Chinese Super League entering a short break, the Chinese men's soccer team has released its latest training roster. In this list, the leading Chinese Super League team Shanghai Harbor has eight players selected, which has caused widespread controversy. As we all know, Shanghai Seaport has been blamed for the recent heavy losses in both the league and the AFC Champions League, losing 2-3 to a Thai team in the play-offs.
According to the latest installment of Yankovic's selections, there is absolutely no innovation to be seen, as the Chinese men's soccer team's roster still consists of the same group of players. Especially for Shanghai Harbour, who lost to a Thai team in the AFC Champions League and then to Henan Songshan Longmen in the league, it's amazing that this team's backline, which has suffered two consecutive defeats, is still being reused by the Chinese national team.
Jiang Guangtai, Zhang Linjian, Wang Shenchao, Li Shuai, Xu Xin, whether selected or not, these defenders of Shanghai Seaport are now unable to adapt to the level of international competition. In matches against mid-table Thai teams, they have been completely outplayed by their opponents on several occasions. There was even a situation where seven defense players were still scored by the opponent. The national soccer team's World Cup match against Thailand is really a suspenseful one.
China's men's soccer team is facing the implication of anti-corruption and black-cleaning operations in the soccer world, and some national team players have been taken away for investigation as a result. Including the previous 12 strong match led by Li Tie, whether there is the problem of gambling and blackmail has yet to be revealed. Need to wait for the anti-corruption and clear the black case after the verdict can be made public.
There is no denying that Jankovic has not brought too many surprises to the fans since he took charge of the national soccer team, and he has not dared to take risks with the use of newcomers. The recent training list of the national team is still dominated by the previous group of players. For these main players, the probability of achieving the first two places in the group in the 36-team tournament is really not very high.
