On the evening of the 5th, accompanied by Chinese and foreign assistants such as Tokić and Shao Jiayi, Croatian-born coach Ivanković personally went to Beijing Workers' Stadium to observe the fierce duel between Beijing Guoan and Chengdu Rongcheng in the 10th round of the Chinese Super League. It is reported that the national football coaching team in the Chinese and foreign members of the recent will focus on the study of the new phase of the team training overseas players. Wu Lei will be absent from the June 6 China-Thailand "battle of life and death" for some reason, and the return of naturalized striker Alan is almost a foregone conclusion. Meanwhile, the performance of Shenhua's Xu Haoyang and Guoan's Zhang Xizhe is also under scrutiny.
The match between Guoan and Rongcheng is undoubtedly the most notable match of this round of the Chinese Super League, and the only match that Ivankovic personally observed. Ivan's purpose in watching the match was to check out key players such as Wei Shihao and Wei Tao of Guoan, as well as Li Lei, Zhang Yuning and Zhang Xizhe.
In this marquee match, the foreigners had an eye-catching performance, not only contributing all three goals, but also influencing the trend of the game. Zhang Xizhe did not perform well under the tight defense of the Rongcheng team. However, Guoan's left back Li Lei became a potential replacement for the national team with his excellent physical quality and defensive performance.
Ivankovic is looking to observe the league to find suitable replacements for the two players to deal with the midfield suspensions of Wu Lei and Li Yuan. As of now, Qingdao West Coast's naturalized striker Alan is the ideal replacement for Wu Lei.

Guoan head coach Luis Suarez said in a press conference that he will not be limited by the nationality or age of the players. When selecting international players, Guoan coach Ivan will also not use age as a criterion. Therefore, he is concerned about the performance of Zhang Xizhe and other veterans. It is understood that Zhang Xizhe helped Zhang Yuning break the deadlock in the match between Guoan and Zhejiang through a wonderful assist, which attracted the attention of Ivankovic.
In addition to the above players, some of the league's middle and lower positions of the sharp players, such as left back Jiang Zhipeng, Zhejiang midfield core Li Tixiang, also attracted the attention of the national football coaching team.
It is reported that the coaching staff of the National Football League will draw up a preliminary training list based on the players' recent investigations and finalize the list based on the status of the target candidates in the league and possible personnel injuries.
