When it comes to the Chinese national football team's group of 18 with Japan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Bahrain and Indonesia, people are worried about this group, and even call it the "group of death". However, national team coach Ivankovic said in an exclusive interview with the media that the team will not be afraid of any opponent. What's even more impressive is that Ivan also announced that he will continue to scout young players, and said that as long as these young players have excellent quality and excellent performance, he will give priority to getting them into the main team. This decision reflects Ivan's courage and overall vision, and it will also usher in a new chapter in Chinese football.
Ivankovic has always dared to use young players boldly, which is also the biggest characteristic of his tenure as head coach of the national team. Even more surprising is that the young players promoted by Ivan are even as good as the previous veterans, which is especially evident in Baihelam. As a young player, Baihram stood out in the battle between China and South Korea and became a member of the starting line-up. This decision was too surprising because, judging by Baihelam's previous experience, he should not be part of the national team squad, but at most enter the roster to feel the atmosphere of the tournament.
However, Ivan's decision showed his courage and courage, as he gave Baihelam the opportunity to come on as a substitute in the Sino-Thai battle. As the saying goes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and Baihoram showed his strength at this time. He scored a brilliant goal shortly after coming off the bench to help the national team draw 1-1 with Thailand. Later, in the away game against South Korea, Baihelam also performed well, comparable to veterans Wei Shihao and Wu Lei. Such performances have undoubtedly added a strong touch to the rise of young players.
As for the upcoming round of 18, if Wei Shihao can't adjust his condition to the best, he may not be included in the national team squad. Ivan's favor and reuse of young players will also inspire more new forces, allowing them to devote themselves to the game in a fuller state and win more victories for the national team. Therefore, in the future, the Chinese national team may see more new faces in the game, and they will also conquer the hearts of fans with a more positive performance on the field.
But with the rise of young power, some veterans may also face new challenges. Wang Dalei, Zhang Linpeng, Tan Long and other veterans were not on the list of the national team because they were old or injured. Among them, Wang Dalei has attracted much attention, and his state and ability are not problematic, but due to frequent injuries, the confrontation and rhythm of the top 18 may be more difficult for him. Therefore, if Wang Dalei is still unable to stay healthy, then he may lose his main position and replace it with young goalkeeper Yan Junling.
The adjustment and replacement of the Chinese national team's lineup is actually the inevitable way for the development of the national team. The rise of new forces will undoubtedly inject new vitality into Chinese football and bring more expectations to fans. Such a decision will undoubtedly bring a new atmosphere to Chinese football, lay a more solid foundation for the future of the national team, and will surely let us see a more exciting picture in the national football game. With the arrival of the round of 18, we look forward to the Chinese national team under the leadership of Ivankovic to rejuvenate and create their own glory.
