After watching the Super Cup match at the Hongkou Football Stadium a few days ago, the new Croatian coach of the National Football Team Ivankovic has returned to Zagreb, Croatia to renew his visa to China.
Since the Chinese team plans to regroup around March 12 to prepare for the two-round World Cup top 36 match against Singapore, the time and opportunity left for the new coach to inspect the alternative national football team on the spot is limited. The new national football training lineup will It is generated through a combination of self-selection by the new foreign coaching team and recommendation by the Chinese team.
According to a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, Ivankovic watched the game in a box at the Hongkou Football Stadium accompanied by national football managers.
A total of 14 players from both sides have been selected for the national football team in different eras. They are Zhang Linpeng, Wu Lei, Zhu Chenjie, Xu Xin, Wu Xi, Gao Tianyi, Jiang Shenglong, Xie Pengfei, Li Shuai, Li Ang, Wang Shenchao, Feng Jin, and Yu Hanchao. , Lu Wenjun.
Among them, there are 9 players shortlisted for the National Football Team's Asian Cup lineup, and 11 players who have been recruited by former coach Jankovic (Feng Jin, Yu Hanchao, and Lu Wenjun are not included).
Among the 14 national football players from different periods, 9 started this game. Only 5 of them, Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng, Wu Lei, Zhu Chenjie, and Xu Xin, are considered the main players of the National Football Team Asia Cup.
Shenhua's four players Wu Xi, Jiang Shenglong, Xie Pengfei and Gao Tianyi, who have relatively low attendance rates or no appearance records in the Asian Cup, all appeared in this Super Cup as substitutes.
In addition, Jiang Guangtai of the Harbor team and Dai Weijun of the Shenhua team, who also signed up and played as the main players of the national football team in this Asian Cup, as well as two former international players of the Harbor team, Cai Huikang and Li Shenglong, were injured and did not enter the Super Cup registration lineup.
It is worth noting that among the national players who have appeared in each period, except for a few young players such as Zhu Chenjie, the vast majority are veterans over 30 years old.
It can be seen that the content that this game can provide Ivan as a basis for draft selection is very limited.
According to the plan, Ivankovic will return to China in early March, and then go to the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League quarter-finals Taishan home team to inspect players.
Since there are now less than two weeks before the top 36 and the start of preparations for the new season, Ivankovic cannot complete the player inspection work through only two rounds of the Chinese Super League and one AFC Champions League knockout game.
In this case, he is likely to send several foreign assistants to each competition area to help inspect the players.
In addition, several Chinese assistant coaches who were coached by Jankovic when coaching the national football team are likely to stay on the team, and they will also assist the new foreign coaches in the selection of the national football team.
From this point of view, the new national football training lineup will be finalized through a combination of self-selection by the foreign teaching team + recommendations by Chinese members.
Even if Ivankovic intends to speed up the replacement of players, considering the imminent preparations for the round of 36, he is likely to slow down the specific process.
