Analysis of National Team Dynamics
In the Asian Cup, the national team's winless record came like a tidal wave, the naturalized players and Jankovic's contradictions are like undercurrents, which may set off a new storm during the formation of the current national team training.
Daily News reveals that the first training session after Coach Ivankovic's appointment will be in full swing today at the Guangming Base in Shenzhen. With all the players assembled, the Chinese team's tactical drills will be closer to the real world. It is reported that Ivan is fond of Shandong Taishan players, not only because Shandong Taishan is his old home, but also because with their outstanding performance in the AFC Champions League, they showed excellent physical conditions and the rhythm of offense and defense, compared with those who lack the experience of the AFC Champions League, they are undoubtedly more dazzling teammates.
Tan Long, 36, and Wu Xi, 35, are not on the current roster, which may signal an accelerating pace of rejuvenation in the Chinese team. They need to remain stable and not be impatient in the face of the upcoming major tournaments. Of course, with only one round of the Chinese Super League in the books, selection is naturally limited. If the international players meet the requirements of the league and have the right attitude, they will still have a chance to play for their country in the future.
Three naturalized players, Fernando, Eckerson and Li Ke, are back in national team uniforms in this edition of the roster. Fernando missed last year's match due to injury, Ackerson was in poor form, and Li Ke was dismissed for being late for the match, and now they are all in the spotlight. Some of the naturalized players' relationship with Jankovic has broken down, and the impact of this incident may spill over into the upcoming national team training, which could see the roster adjusted.
