Soccer News came heavy news, Tan Long, Gao Tianyi, Yan Dinghao will also say goodbye to the national football team in June training, transferred to Jurjevic under the banner of the preparation for the Asian Games men's football warm-up matches. This move will undoubtedly bring changes to the national football team.
It is worth mentioning that the Asian Games men's soccer tournament rules allow each team to call up three overage players. This time, hosts China and South Korea will send players of the right age to participate in the Asian Games, because China enjoys the benefits of hosts, while South Korea can be exempted from military service by winning the championship.
Looking back at history, during Jankovic's reign, Wu Xi, Zhang Yuning and Zhang Linpeng had been named in the list of overage players. However, this season in the Chinese Super League, Wu Xi and Zhang Yuning were unfortunately injured. With the promotion of Jankovic to the head of the national football team, Djurdjevic took over the baton to become the head of the Asian Games men's football team, the selection of overage players has also been adjusted.
According to media reports last week, Tan Long and Gao Tianyi will be selected for the Asian Games men's soccer training list. And the latest disclosure by Soccer Daily is that Yan Dinghao is expected to be the third overage player. The trio will play two warm-up matches against South Korea in Zhejiang with the Asian Games men's soccer team.
Nonetheless, the final list of overage players for the Asian Games is yet to be released. During the Asian Games, the national soccer team does not have the task of competition. If there are no accidents, the Asian Games men's soccer team will select the strongest players to play, Wu Lei and other strength players are likely to be selected.
