As summer draws nearer, China's national soccer team is about to kick off a new phase of preparations, marking the official June 10th rallying cry. Immediately following that, on the weekend of June 16-18, the national football team will embark on back-to-back warm-up duels, hosting Myanmar, followed on June 20 by the challenge of Palestine. These two fixtures are of great significance to the national soccer team, as Aleksandar Jankovic is looking for his first win as the new head coach since taking over. Prior to that, Jankovic had led his team to two consecutive draws, first a 0-0 draw with New Zealand and then a 1-2 loss.
On June 1, the analysis of Beijing Youth Daily, a well-known domestic media, pointed out that the new phase of the national football team's training lineup has not changed much and remains incomplete. Only two international players have completed their naturalization, and they are Ackerson and Jiang Guangtai. According to the media, the national football team originally planned to let the international players rest during the international match week and assemble on the 12th, but Jankovic decided to focus on the strength in advance, so the assembly time was advanced to the 10th.
After the 10th round of the Chinese Super League, the coaching team coached by Jankovic has developed a preliminary list, but there are still doubts about certain positions, and the plan is to continue to observe over the weekend, focusing on target players from Beijing Guoan, Changchun Yatai, Shandong Taishan and Dalian Ren. For naturalized players, the national football team strives to maximize their value, but faces challenges such as injuries, low form or psychological shadows.
Li Ke has been injured frequently and has just returned recently, but his form is poor and he is basically certain to miss out; Fernando is also plagued by injuries and has not recovered from his comeback, so he needs time to find his best form. In Barcelona performance Luo Guofu does not intend to return, and even began to consider retirement, whether to represent the national team to play in the Asian Cup is still in doubt; Alan in Barcelona's performance ups and downs, has become the team's replacement, he is eager to return, but frequently in the music department and the national team between the run, obviously not conducive to him to get back to the state. It is reported that the national soccer team has special people to track Alan and Luo Guofu and other overseas players, and strive to prepare for the Asian Cup with the best lineup system.
In addition to the worrying state of the naturalized players, the local core players are also generally in the doldrums. Captain Wu Xi is injured and unable to participate in the training of the national team; Zhang Yuning, the local golden boot of the Chinese Super League, is also still recovering from a recurring shoulder injury and a sprained foot, and is basically certain to be absent; Dai Weijun, the new star of the midfield, has a conflict with the Shenzhen team, and is currently in a state of inactivity waiting for the result of arbitration, even if the arbitration is successful, and does not play for a long period of time, Dai Weijun is obviously difficult to be selected as a member of the national team. Therefore, Zhang Yuning and Wu Xi, Li Ke, Fernando, Eckerson, Alan, Dai Weijun and other six people will be absent from the new phase of the national soccer team training.
Nonetheless, the outline of the new national football team is becoming apparent, with the in-form Wu Lei and naturalized players Jiang Guangtai and Ekson set to lead the way. Yan Junling, Wei Shihao, Lin Liangming, Barton, Xie Pengfei, Wang Dalei, Han Jiaqi, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, Chen Pu, Liu Binbin, Xu Xin, He Chao, Sun Guowen, Deng Hanwen, Wei Zhen, Li Ang, Liu Yang, Gao Tianyi, and other players are expected to be selected for the national team again. Xu Hao Yang, who performed well in the first 10 rounds of the Chinese Super League, is expected to get a place. Expect the national soccer team to perform well in the two warm-up matches this month.
