Some time ago, the CFA announced the list of players who will participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games, and the domestic outstanding mid-generation players including Dai Weijun and Zhu Chenjie managed to make the list. Since becoming the head coach of this team in 2008, Jankovic has been leading this team of Olympic-age players to fight for more than 4 years and knows the team very well. Surprisingly, however, only the name of Taishan striker Guo Tianyu is missing from this roster. At the start of the league, Guo Tianyu left Taishan for the Portuguese league. Outsiders believe that the reason why Jankovic dropped Guo Tianyu could be because of the player's form.
After returning to Shandong Taishan, Guo Tianyu didn't have much time to represent the team, and with the outstanding performance of Brazilian foreigner Cress, Guo Tianyu had to sit on the bench most of the time. It makes sense that he missed the Asian Games training roster. The embarrassment of weaknesses is exposed every time the national soccer team participates in a tournament, and reporter Ma Dexing released a document analyzing that the Asian Games training squad will likely recruit some veteran players in order to address the team's offensive risks. Beijing Guoan's forward core Zhang Yuning has become the most suitable candidate. This season, Zhang Yuning scored 19 goals despite injuries and won the local Golden Boot award. At the end of the season, Zhang Yuning underwent surgery to cure his long-suffering shoulder injury and is currently in the recuperation phase. Zhang Yuning, from the Zhejiang Greentown youth training system, is also expected to participate in the Asian Games in his hometown, and Zhang Yuning will give it his all.
Aside from Zhang Yuning, striker Fang Hao, who has left Shandong Taishan, is likely to be entrusted with the role. The young striker has represented China in the Four Nations and rose to fame against Thailand. Although he didn't get much playing time with Shandong Taishan, Fang Hao excelled in the U21 ladder, winning the U21 League Golden Boot Award with eight goals. Fang Hao, whose contract with Taishan has expired, will leave the team at the end of the season, and Beijing Guoan is one of his potential affiliates. This double golden boot duo of the Chinese Super League will form the striking partnership of the national soccer team for the Asian Games, and Beijing Guoan can also observe the geometry of the young striker through this Asian Games? From the current situation, this new pair of Guoan striker's partner will be the leading striker of the National Football League Asian Games.
Traditional Asian powerhouses, including Japan and South Korea, will not necessarily send their strongest lineups to the Hangzhou Asian Games. The national soccer team also has a certain advantage in terms of overall strength. In addition, local combat occupies the right time, place and people. If Zhang Yuning and Fang Hao can find a tacit understanding on the risk, the national football team is not without a chance to stand on the podium at the Hangzhou Asian Games, and may even hit the gold medal. If he can lead the team at the Hangzhou Asian Games and achieve good results, Kovic is likely to become the favorite of the new coach of the national football team.
