At the moment, apart from Ackerson and Fernando, Li Ke and Jiang Guangtai are likely to be selected for the national team. There is no doubt about Jiang Guangtai's selection, after all, he has always been a member of the national team with strength above other local players. Li Ke has returned from injury and is expected to rejoin the national team. Many are hoping that Luo Guofu, Alan and Hou Yongyong will also be recalled, but this is not very likely. After all, it's just a warm-up game at the moment and there are a lot of formalities that need to be completed in order to recall them.
Only Ackerson, Fernando, Li Ke and Jiang Guangtai may be selected as a few naturalized players. Wu Xi might be selected as a local player, and Wu Xi might be recovering from his injury. Of course, Beijing Guoan's Yang Liyu could also be selected. Since joining Beijing Guoan, he has performed very well and it is understandable that he would be selected. This year, not many good local players have appeared in the Chinese Super League and many matches have been led by foreigners.
According to Huang Qiang, when the news broke that Jankovic wanted to return, it drew a lot of attention. This time, he called his players to train again for a couple of warm-up matches. The fact that the likes of Fernando and Li Ke will be selected for the national team is a good thing for the two aforementioned players. After all, they are the first time to be selected for Yankovic's national team, which is a milestone. Many would also like to recall Lo Guofu and Alan, but it's unlikely.
Coming back for national team matches will not be easy for them as their respective teams have match commitments. Undoubtedly, Wu Xi's return is something that is not in doubt. After all, he is the soul of the team. It may be fine without Iversen, it may be fine without Wu Lei, but not without Wu Xi. The team's strength is a few notches different with him than without him. Which players do you support to join the national team?
