Ivankovic.
A few days ago, after the Super Cup match at Hongkou Football Stadium, 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-legged World Preliminary Round of 36 match with the Singapore team, there is limited time and opportunity for the new coach to visit the candidate international players, and the new national football training squad will be produced through a combination of the new foreign coaching team's self-selection and the recommendation of the Chinese team.
According to a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, Ivankovic was accompanied by the national football management personnel in the box of the Hongkou Football Stadium. 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, Yu Hanchao, and Lu Wenjun. Among them, a total of 9 players have been shortlisted for the national football team's squad for this Asian Cup, and a total of 11 players have been recruited by former coach Jankovic (Feng Jin, Yu Hanchao, and Lu Wenjun are not listed).
Among the 14 international players in different periods, 9 started this game, of which only Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng, Wu Lei, Zhu Chenjie, and Xu Xin are the main players of the National Football Asian Cup. Shenhua 4 generals Wu Xi, Jiang Shenglong, Xie Pengfei and Gao Tianyi, who have a relatively low appearance rate or no appearance record in the Asian Cup, all appeared as substitutes in this Super Cup.
In addition, Jiang Guangtai of the harbor team, Dai Weijun of the Shenhua team, and Cai Huikang and Li Shenglong, two former internationals of the harbor team, who also signed up and played as the main force of the national football team in this Asian Cup, were troubled by injuries and other factors, and did not enter the Super Cup registration lineup. It is worth noting that among the international players who appeared in each period, except for a few young players such as Zhu Chenjie, the vast majority of them are veterans over 30 years old. It can be seen that the content that can be provided to Ivan as a basis for the draft in this game 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 1 4 finals Taishan team home to inspect the players. With less than two weeks to go until the round of 36 and the start of the new pre-match preparations, Ivankovic will not be able to complete the scouting of players through only two rounds of the Chinese Super League and one AFC Champions League knockout match. In this case, he is likely to send a few foreign assistants to each competition area to assist in the players. In addition, several Chinese assistant coaches from Jankovic's tenure in charge of the national football team are likely to stay in the team, and they will also assist the new foreign coach in the selection of international players. In this way, the new national football training squad will be finalized through a combination of the foreign coach's team's self-selection and the recommendation of Chinese members. Even if Ivankovic intends to speed up the replacement of players, it is likely to slow down the process given the imminent preparation for the round of 36.
