The Taishan team has been in turmoil lately, and Sun Guowen's performance is like hitting rock bottom. Despite being selected for the national team training camp list, he appears to be out of his depth. On the contrary, Prince Ming, miraculously knocked on the door of the national team coached by Kovic, which surprised many Guoan fans. Wang Ziming has been able to secure his place in the starting lineup for Guoan this season, thanks to an unexpected injury to rival Zhang Yuning. However, the center forward, who is regarded as a dominant player, has been widely questioned by fans for his unsatisfactory performance when representing Guoan. Guoan fans had called on the club to abandon Wang Ziming in the hope of bringing in fresh blood to strengthen the forward line. Even so, Jankovic remained firm on keeping Prince Ming, seemingly not completely losing faith in his form.
As for Lin Liangming, last season's outstanding performance has made him a big call to be selected for Jankovic's national team, however, his performance in Dalian this season has failed to continue the brilliant performance, and he has fallen into the doldrums together with the team. Lin Liangming's performance in Dalian is clearly not up to international standard. Jankovic's insistence on him may stem from the fact that he has shown good form during training with the national team, which meets his technical and tactical requirements. Let's expect Lin Liangming, Xu Xin, Sun Guowen and Wang Ziming, the four controversial international players, to explode in the two warm-up matches in June, responding to the skepticism with goals and not letting Kovic down.
