The new cycle of the national football assembly kicked off West Asia training and preparation for multi-directional improvement
With December 17 approaching, the Chinese men's soccer team will soon start a new training tour. One of the highlights of this training is the choice to travel to the faraway West Asia for training. It is worth noting that although Chinese naturalized players such as Li Ke and Jiang Guangtai are on the list, non-blood naturalized players such as Eckerson are absent from the training. This phenomenon has caused widespread discussion. In fact, Jankovic has shown remarkable foresight in player selection. The squad is one of the top in the country, with mid-generation players Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao, as well as league leaders Tan Long and Wu Lei, among others.
The new training squad for the Chinese men's soccer team brings together some of the best performers in the country. Despite the fact that naturalized players such as Iverson failed to make the cut, it should be recognized that the selection of players for the national team must ensure that the players are in good physical condition and that the team as a whole is in the best shape possible. In this way, the players will be able to serve the national team more effectively. When selecting players, it is important to look not only at strength but also at the growth of young players to build a better national team. The fact that players of different age groups are involved in all positions in the game is a highlight of Jankovic's coaching ability.
In this training list, young players performed well in the backline, with Zhu Chenjie, Wu Shaochong, Jiang Shenglong and Xu Haofeng particularly eye-catching. The addition of senior players Liu Yang, Li Lei and Zhang Linpeng made the defensive end more solid. As for the offensive end, Wu Lei, Tan Long, Wei Shihao and Zhang Yuning are the most powerful combination of attacking players in the country. Despite the small number of strikers, in the midfield, every player is an attacking master, capable of both offense and defense.
Take the example of Lin Liangming, born in 1997, who is the main attacker of the national team. His outstanding performances on the wings and in the center of the field not only control the situation in the midfield and up front, but also play in the wing position. Xie Pengfei and Wang Qiuming, two players that Jankovic unearthed from the domestic league, showed great strength in the second half of the year in warm-up matches and the World Qualifiers, especially Wang Qiuming's fighting spirit. Veteran Wu Xi also provides better control in the midfield.
Gao Tianyi and Chen Pu, two young players who are equally good. Gao Tianyi had an outstanding performance in this year's Asian Games, with outstanding attacking and midfield abilities. Chen Pu, also born in 1997, blended in well with the national team's tactics. Numerous outstanding players joined the national team and trained well before the West Asia tour to prepare for the Asian Cup and the 2024 World Preliminary Stage.
The 2024 Asian Cup will see the national soccer team face opponents of equal strength and similar tactical styles in Qatar, Lebanon and Tajikistan. The national football team plans to train in West Asia and has confirmed warm-up matches against Oman and India to improve tactical layout and teamwork. Traveling to West Asia for training will help to adapt to the local environment, and there is also the possibility of playing warm-up matches with local clubs to simulate tactical drills. We look forward to the Chinese men's soccer team's excellent results in the coming matches.
