What is the strength of the homegrown strikers in the Premier League? Is Ivan Kovic really facing the plight of no striker available? The answer is obviously no. Looking at this season's Chinese Super League, Ivan Kovic has a star-studded forward lineup in front of him. Among them, the most attention is undoubtedly Han Chao, Barton and the naturalized fierce. Ivan Kovic is afraid of this is both love and hate, because these three players once draped on the battlefield, will be able to instantly turn the situation of the national football team, and become the focus of media coverage.
Despite his advanced age, Yu Hanchao's sword is still sharp as ever. With his excellent speed and change of direction, he is always able to deliver a fatal blow to his teammates. Whether it's a pass from the baseline or an inside break, Yu Hanchao can bring a huge threat to the opponent's defense. Especially in critical moments, his calmness and boldness often become the key to the team's victory.
In a very different style from Yu Hanchao, Hou Yongyong has shown amazing offensive efficiency in the Norwegian league as a technical striker. This season, he scored 14 goals and gave out 4 assists for Lanham, leading the domestic league. Hau not only possesses outstanding individual breakout ability, but also specializes in capturing goal-scoring opportunities. His speed and agility allow him to find holes in opponents in tight defenses and quickly finish off deadly strikes.
And in Tianjin, Barton has shown remarkable offensive strength. This season, he played 30 games and contributed 2 goals and 8 assists. His offensive ability in front of the field can be called the best domestic players. If he can be selected for the national team, the national football team's creativity in front of the field will be strongly guaranteed.
However, in front of these three talented strikers, Ivan Kovic chose two "chicken ribs" players. It is really puzzling to see such a way of thinking about the selection. We can only hope that the national soccer team will have good luck under the leadership of these players.
