Ackerson has temporarily left the national soccer team because his fitness is not up to par. This is a testament to the fact that Jankovic has been relentless in his selection of players since taking over. However, there are still fans who question that there is something fishy about the national soccer roster, with players who only make one start in the season getting in. Can Chen Xuyuan still operate remotely?
After every new coach of the national football team takes office, fans pay more attention to the appearance of the big list. After replacing Li Xiaopeng as the new coach of the national football team, Jankovic announced his first training 24-player list in just two days. Fans have one question:How did Jankovic announce the roster in two days? How much does he know about the players in the league?
The 24 players selected by Jankovic were reportedly chosen from a list of 50 players given by the National Administration. Here comes the problem again. Since he is the coach of the national team, he shouldn't choose a wider range of players. Shouldn't you choose the players you need to play tactically? Why should Jankovic only choose from the list given by the national administration? If this news is true, it proves that Jankovic is just a puppet. If he is a puppet, why did you spend 30 million dollars to invite him? If you spend 30 million dollars, you should give the initiative of choosing players to Jankovic.
There are still a lot of 30+ veterans on the 24-man roster selected by Yankovic that fans can't get enough of. In the 24-man roster, Wuhan Sanzhen has 6 men selected for the 2022 season championship. But Wuhan Sanzhen is not the big powerhouse this time, Shanghai Seaport is the big winner, they have 7 people selected, namely Wu Lei, Yan Junling, Zhang Linmiao, Jiang Guangtai, Xu Xin, Li Ang and Li Shuai. Jiang Guangtai and Ackerson were both said to have been eliminated by Jankovic, but Jankovic recruited Shanghai Harbor's Wei Zhen back into the roster.
Wei Zhen was selected for the national team for the first time, which was kind of a breakthrough promotion for Jankovic. Naturally, Wei Zhen's performance at Shanghai Seaport in the 2022 season was not bad. The player that Speaking of Balls is going to talk about is not Wei Zhen either, but Wei Zhen's teammate at Shanghai Seaport, Li Shuai, who only transferred to the team in the 2022 season. Fans were surprised to see Li Shuai get drafted.
Li Shuai is a player who is more famous than his strength. Two years ago, I don't know which media started touting Li Shuai, and that started to make him feel a bit happy. In the summer transfer window of the 2022 season, Li Shuai moved from Dalian Ren to Shanghai Port. Li Shuai is a versatile player on the left side of the pitch, going from forward to midfielder to defender. Despite his versatility, he is only average in every position, just fast. In terms of ball control and big game, Li Shuai is very average.
After transferring to Shanghai Port, Li was not reused. He made only 7 appearances and started only 1, adding up to only 151 minutes. I didn't play much soccer all season. Why did Li Shuai impress Jankovic and make the 24-man roster? So a fan joked:Can Chen Xuyuan still manipulate the national soccer roster remotely?
When Yankovic took over, fans felt there was something fishy going on, whether it was the Chinese coaching staff that the FA had put in place for him or the 50-man roster given by the National Management Department, or the inclusion of Li Shuai and some veterans in their 30s.
