In the latest training squad of the Chinese men's national football team, 29-year-old Yang Zexiang became the most surprising selected international player. You must know that Yang Zexiang has not only never been selected for the national team before, but also for the national youth team of all ages. What's more worth mentioning is that Yang Zexiang not only never selected for the national team, but also played in the lower level of the Chinese League for a long time, until the last two years, he began to officially play in the Chinese Super League.

From Lippi to Li Tie, from Li Tie to Jankovic, none of the previous three national team coaches has recruited Yang Zexiang, and it is not even clear whether there is such a person as Yang Zexiang in the Chinese Super League. Therefore, as soon as Ivankovic took office, he recruited Yang Zexiang, who was previously unknown, into his command, which indeed required a certain amount of courage and courage. The average coach is afraid that he will take responsibility when the time comes, and I am afraid that he will not dare to call up international players like this.

From the lower league to the Chinese Super League, and then to being selected for the national football team, Yang Zexiang's career can be called an inspirational story that is touching. Judging from his performance in Shanghai Shenhua this season, although he still has technical flaws, his sense of position and ability to read the game are good, especially his hunger and sense of responsibility for the game, which has left a deep impression on Chinese fans. Because he ran at all costs on the field, Shenhua fans affectionately called him "Xiang Warrior". Perhaps, Ivankovic fell in love with Yang Zexiang's spirit and recruited him into his command.

Yang Zexiang plays as left wing-back. Previously, under former Shenhua coach Wu Jingui, he was just a marginal person who couldn't play a stable game. After Russian coach Slutsky took over Shenhua, he won the trust of Slovakia with his unremitting efforts and outstanding performance. In the first 14 rounds of the Chinese Super League, he played 13 times, all of which were starters, and he has become an indispensable and important player under Slutsky's account.

Compared with Liu Yang, the main left fullback of the national team, Yang Zexiang may not be as good as the former in terms of forward assists and activating wing attacks; However, Yang Zexiang's pass success rate is higher, the side defense is more stable, and there are few low-level mistakes like Liu Yang. Therefore, in the face of the Thai team with good attacking power this time, for the purpose of seeking stability, Ivankovic may reuse Yang Zexiang, who was selected for the national team for the first time, and press Liu Yang, who has more experience in the national football team, on the bench.

In the face of the Thai men's football team, the most important thing for the Chinese men's football team is to guard against arrogance and rashness and calm down. Therefore, if Yang Zexiang, who is old and more responsible, can be reused by Jankovic, he may bring surprises to Chinese fans.
