Although the Chinese men's football team has returned to various clubs to participate in the current Chinese Super League, for the head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Ivankovic, is very busy now, on the one hand, he needs to actively prepare for the game, scouting the players, and strive to be able to select a set of players who are more in line with his tactical system in the round of 18, on the other hand, he has to rush to Kuala Lumpur, new Malaysia, to participate in the draw ceremony for the round of 18 held there. Before participating in the draw ceremony, Ivankovic was also interviewed by the well-known domestic football media Football Newspaper. In this interview. Ivankovic revealed two important requirements and tips for the selection of the next round of 18, which may make many international players face the dilemma of not being able to enter the national team.
First of all, Ivankovic stressed that he hopes that more and better naturalized players will be able to come in. Although he added a sentence later, hoping that these naturalized players can identify with China, in fact, the focus is more on helping the team improve its strength, especially on the offensive line, and he may urge the Football Association to have a wider range of naturalized players.
At present, it may be that the most likely is Oscar from the Cangzhou Lions, whose naturalization has been put on the agenda according to the media, and it is likely to appear in the lineup of the Chinese team in the round of 18. Considering that the Chinese team itself is currently in the midfield, especially on the offensive line, there are very few excellent local players, and with the addition of these naturalized players, then these local players in our field will get fewer and fewer opportunities.
Previously, with the addition of Allan and Fernando, local players who were still outstanding in the Chinese national team, such as Dai Weijun, can no longer enter the national team's squad, including Zhang Xizhe, who has been away from the national team for a long time.
In addition, Ivankovic stressed that he hopes that more young players can join the team, perhaps in the previous game, Baihelam has a very good performance, giving him more inspiration and confidence, without Baihelam scoring the header of the Thai team, the Chinese team is unlikely to appear in the round of 18, this young player's attempt, let Ivankovic taste the sweetness, and there may be more young players to join the Chinese men's national team in the future. This is bound to hit some of the veteran positions. Xu Xin, who was trusted by Jankovic before, has not been able to enter the national team's squad for a long time.
Compared with the addition of naturalized players, which may cause controversy among many fans, the reuse of young people is something that fans want to see more. With the current strength and state of the Chinese men's football team, it is very difficult to make a difference in the round of 18, and we can even say that the round of 18 is our own World Cup, and we cannot enter the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, so in this important training ground, if more young players can join it, even if we can't make it to the World Cup, it will be worth the trip.
