The list of the national football team for the Asian Cup was announced, and 5 Chinese Super League players performed well but were abandoned
The World Cup in Qatar will begin in January next year, and the Chinese team have been grouped into Group A, where they will face Tajikistan, Lebanon and Qatar. Under the leadership of Lippi, in last year's Asian Cup, the Chinese team reached the quarterfinals, and this time, people did not have much hope for this result. First, Jankovic doesn't have the coaching experience that Lippi has, and secondly, there's been a lot of debate about Jankovic's personnel.
It's so disappointing!This year's World Cup squad was announced, and 5 people shined in the Chinese Super League, but they were ruthlessly abandoned. In the national football team, many strong players were not selected, which is puzzling.
In this Chinese Super League, Aikesen scored 8 goals and contributed 1 assist on behalf of Chengdu Rongcheng. Ackerson's performance was not as good as in his heyday, and his attacking ability has weakened, but he is a seasoned player after all, and both can score two goals in the AFC Champions League, which is enough to prove his ability, plus Ackerson can be used as a core to provide attacking opportunities for the Chinese team. Jankovic prefers to recruit 35-year-old Tan Long rather than Exxon, who is only one year old.
It is also a pity that the two goalscorers of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers were not selected for the national team. The 28-year-old has scored four goals and seven assists in the league this season, making him the top scorer for the Chinese Super League locals. The 26-year-old has five goals and one goal in the league. Both are still in peak form, Barton is a much-needed point forward in Chinese football, and Xie Weijun's 190 cm height not only has a height advantage, but can also break through on the wing, but neither has been called up to the national team.
Lippi admires Deng Hanwen, who has helped the team and helped Wuhan Three Towns win the league championship. Deng Hanwen scored one goal and three assists in the Premier League, and occupied a pivotal position in the Wuhan Three Cities. Deng Hanwen is 28 this year, can fight and fight, and his skills at his feet are also very good, now is his best time, Jankovic prefers to choose Xu Haofeng rather than Deng Hanwen.
Huang Zichang has also been affirmed by Lippi, a rising star who has made a name for himself in the national team. After the injury, the now 26-year-old Huang Zichang once again entered the peak of his career. Last season, Huang Zichang scored seven goals and sent five goals for Henan, and this season he scored four goals and provided six assists, performing very well, but he did not gain Jankovic's trust.
Do you think these five players deserve to be in the squad for this World Cup?It's a pity who didn't make the cut?
