According to the reporter, in order to quickly realize the fusion between the foreign coaching team and the players, the CFA plans to arrange some former international players to join the team after careful consideration. Among them, the plan is to arrange Guangzhou team coach, the old captain of the national soccer team Zheng Zhi, former international player Chen Tao as China's coach, and plans to select former international players, the current captain of the U20 national soccer team Shao Jiayi as the captain of the new national soccer team.
In fact, Zheng Zhi has been on the coaching staff of the national soccer team during the time Li Xiaopeng coached the team. Prior to that, he also participated in the selection meeting of the national soccer team as a representative of coaching experts. 43-year-old Zheng Zhi, as a veteran minister of the national soccer team, is a model of the industry including international players. Shao Jiayi, who is the same age as Zheng Zhi, has accumulated a great deal of management experience with the national team. Both could use their expertise to their advantage and provide the necessary assistance to the Jankovic team.
According to the plan, the Chinese men's soccer team will concentrate in Haikou on March 1st or 2nd. Prior to that, the team's management has already compiled a list of alternative international players, taking into account the national team and the league in recent years, and about 50 of them have been added to this lineup. Yankovic's coaching team will select less than 30 people to participate in this training, with specific candidates needing to be confirmed in recent days. What is certain is that with Jankovic's arrival, the national soccer team will inevitably renew its personnel at an accelerated pace. Hard training and serious discipline will accompany the preparation of the national soccer team. A considerable number of veterans who participated in the last world qualifiers have already faded out of the national team. As for Jankovic's coaching, or whether he will succeed in changing the team, this needs to be proven.
Not surprisingly, the CFA will use the opportunity of the national football team's training in Haikou to hold a press conference there in early March, and Jankovic will meet the media for the first time as the national football team's coach.
