Beijing Youth Daily has disclosed that China's national soccer team will soon unveil its 26-man squad for the Asian Cup, a move that has undoubtedly sparked eager anticipation among fans. It is reported that the list will be unveiled next week, in which Chengdu Rongcheng goalkeeper Tao Tao is expected to stand out.
As they prepare for the Asian Cup, which kicks off on January 12, the national football team has assembled on December 17 and is scheduled to travel to the United Arab Emirates for a three-week training tour. During this period, the team will play four warm-up matches. It is worth mentioning that the results of the Asian Cup will have a direct impact on whether Jankovic can keep his position. If the results are not good, Jankovic's dismissal is very likely.
It is worth noting that Chen Xuyuan and Du Zhaocai have been arrested and jailed for allegedly breaking the law. They initially supported Jankovic as the head coach of the national soccer team, and it is clear that Song Kai, the new president of the FA, will not take the blame for Chen Xuyuan and the others. As a result, Song Kai will not give Jankovic a second chance as long as the national soccer team is not doing well, making it imperative that Jankovic goes all out to ensure stability in his latest roster.
The latest national soccer team roster will be announced next week, according to Beijing Youth Daily. Most of the players are international players who participated in training in November. In addition, Wang Qiuming, Jiang Guangtai and Li Shuai are expected to return to the team after failing to participate in the preliminaries due to injuries. And those players who missed training in November for non-physical reasons will not be involved in the Asian Cup. It is reported that the coaching staff of the national soccer team has decided to recruit an additional goalkeeper, that is, to carry four goalkeepers to the tournament, and Chengdu Rongcheng goalkeeper Taotao has a chance to be called up.
According to Beijing Youth Daily, the 26-man list of the national football team for the Asian Cup has been revealed, and Jiang Guangtai, Li Shuai and Wang Qiuming will return to the national team. Jiang Guangtai, Li Shuai and Wang Qiuming of Chengdu Rongcheng will also be selected for the national football team. Although the media did not disclose specific information, but said that the players who missed training in November for non-physical reasons will miss the current Asian Cup, Ickerson and Fernando will bid farewell to the national football team.
It's worth noting that Jankovic preferred to bring an extra goalkeeper rather than strikers like Ackerson and Fernando. The decision sparked controversy, but it also made Chengdu Rongcheng goalkeeper Tao Tao the biggest winner.
