Recently, the national football team announced the latest Asian Cup training list, and I was surprised and delighted to see it. Wei Shihao, Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai are familiar faces on the list, and the first selection of the new face Jian Tao also makes people feel a breath of fresh air. However, several absences and options in the list really surprised people, especially the absences of Exxon and Fernando.
The absence of Exxon and Fernando, which makes me wonder: why?Exxon's dedication to the national team and the postponement of surgery don't seem to have given him a chance. And Fernando, his performance in the Tarzan team, isn't it ordinarily outstanding?Watching the two of them miss the national team, I really feel a little distressed.
Let's talk about the choice of coach Jankovic. He seems to be betting all his bucks on a group of veterans, which is worrying. The Asian Cup, after all, is not a small game, it all depends on veterans, can this work?Especially seeing that Yu Hanchao, Xie Weijun, Barton, and Li Tijiang were not selected, this list is even more confusing. Didn't Yu Hanchao perform well in the FA Cup final?His absence is really incomprehensible.
Jankovic's choice is undoubtedly an all-or-nothing gamble. He will either become a hero or a street rat. As things stand, we can only wait for the results of the Asian Cup to judge all this. If the national football team can reach the quarterfinals, it will be considered a gain;But if he can't score, Jankovic's coaching position is estimated to be in suspense.
Preparing for the Asian Cup, the situation of the national football team is not optimistic. Look at the opponents in the group stage - Qatar, Tajikistan, Lebanon, each of them is not easy to play against. If the Chinese men's football team wants to qualify, it must play well. Considering the recent performance, the goal of the national football team to "protect eight and fight for four" seems quite far away.
In general, the list of this training camp is undoubtedly full of controversy and gambling elements. Although we, as fans, will always support the national team, we also hope that the coaching staff and players can prove that our worries are unwarranted. The performance of the Asian Cup will be the most direct response to this squad. In any case, I still look forward to the national football team showing its best side in the Asian Cup and giving us loyal fans some surprises. Come on, national football, we have always supported you behind you!
