June 7 - After the announcement of the new list of the national soccer team, Oriental Sports Daily posted an article on Yankovic's thinking in terms of selection.
Jankovic has reconfirmed the 24-man roster for the national team training. Compared to the last time, it includes newcomers Wang Ziming, Li Lei, Wang Qiuming, Tomorrow, Wang Shenchao and Gao Junyi. However, they have actually been on the national team roster before and just missed the last national team training due to various reasons.
In the eyes of many, the Chinese team is far inferior to Myanmar and Palestine in terms of strength and ranking. However, it is clear that Yankovic and the men's national soccer team, which is in desperate need of a victory to boost their morale, will not dare to be careless.
As the two matches between the national soccer team and Myanmar and Palestine are international A matches, gaining FIFA ranking points to improve their ranking has naturally become a top priority for the Chinese team that will be welcoming the 36-team Asian zone tournament later this year and the 2023 Asian Cup early next year, respectively.
Of the 24 players participating in the national soccer training, there are as many as 13 midfielders in addition to the three goalkeepers, even if they are wingbacks, and players such as Deng Hanwen, Gao Junyi, Sun Guowen, Wang Shenchao, Mingming and Li Lei are known in the Chinese Super League for their powerful attacking abilities.
Therefore, it is clear that Jankovic is ready to focus on offense. For opponents like Myanmar and Palestine, this is probably the main reason why he insisted on keeping the "Wu Lei + Ackerson" forward duo, who played in the last Asian qualifying 12 of the World Cup, in the national team.
