On the evening of July 21, Zhang Yuan was moved to tears after scoring the first official game goal on behalf of the Beijing Guoan team, which moved the 45,000 spectators at the Beijing Workers' Stadium, and Guoan was able to laugh to the end in the "Beijing-Tianjin Derby", and Zhang Yuan was far more than the hero. The goalkeeper of the Guoan team, who made 3 divine saves in this game, 25-year-old Han Jiaqi, also contributed a lot. He also impressed the national football coach Ivankovic who watched the game.
It is understood that Ivankovic left Beijing on the 22nd and went to Cangzhou, and then watched the match between the Cangzhou male lions and Shanghai Shenhua team at home in the 24th round of the Chinese Super League that night. After that, the coaching staff will combine the recent league inspection work to draw a preliminary list of international players for the top 18 with nearly 55 players. Young newcomers like Han Jiaqi and Hu Hetao, who have performed well in club competitions, will be confirmed to be in the squad.
In the "Beijing-Tianjin Derby" on the evening of the 21st, the Guoan team won 2-0 against the Jinmen Tigers with the goals of foreign aid Gujia and local player Zhang Yuan, thus completing the league "double kill" against the opponent this season.
Objectively speaking, the national security team did not achieve a complete victory. was able to be suppressed by the opponent for a long time, but kept a clean sheet against the opponent, the Guoan team benefited from the active scrambling of the whole team, and goalkeeper Han Jiaqi can be said to have made great contributions. He made three top-class saves in the first and second halves. From the beginning of the game to the final whistle, Han Jiaqi maintained a high degree of concentration from beginning to end.
In fact, counting the 21st game, Han Jiaqi has only made 7 appearances for the club team this season, of which 5 are Chinese Super League games. If it weren't for the unexpected injury of the former main goalkeeper Hou Sen, then Han Jiaqi's appearance statistics would be even worse.
According to the data, from June 22 to the fourth round of the FA Cup away against the Chinese League Suzhou Dongwu team during the first debut of the season on behalf of the club team, to the "Beijing-Tianjin Derby" to play the whole game, only 1 month has passed. And it was precisely in this short month that the former Chinese men's football Asian Games team "One Door" regained his name. His continued good performance has attracted the attention of the national football coaching team.
A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily learned that on the evening of the 21st, in addition to the national football coach Ivan went to the Workers' Stadium to watch the game, the current 2005 Chinese U19 men's football coach Djurdjevic also went to the Workers' Stadium to watch the "Beijing-Tianjin Derby". It is understood that the two managers also had business exchanges. Because before taking over the U19 national football team, Djurdjevic led the 1999 Chinese Asian Games men's football team to participate in last year's Hangzhou Asian Games as a coach, so Jiu Shuai was not surprised by Han Jiaqi's excellent performance. He also believes that Han Jiaqi has the level of a national team player.
It is understood that Ivankovic, in combination with the recent inspection of the Chinese Super League, has worked with Chinese and foreign assistants to draw up a list of nearly 55 candidates for the top 18 international players, including many young newcomers with excellent performance in the league. Han Jiaqi was among them. And eye-catching players like Chengdu Rongcheng fullback Hu Hetao will also enter the squad.
It is worth noting that in the selection process of the squad, the national football coaching staff also pays close attention to the physical health of the players. For example, after Hu Hetao was injured during the 24th round of the Chinese Super League away game against the Three Towns, the national football coaching staff also learned about his injury. Judging from the situation reflected by the Rongcheng Club, Hu Hetao's injury is in the leg ligament, not the bone, and it will take about two weeks to recover. Therefore, normally, his injury does not prevent the player from participating in the national team training camp. Rongcheng Club will also fully support the employment of the national team.
According to the plan, after Ivan's trip to Cangzhou, the coaching staff will officially launch the initial registration squad for the Round of 18 teams, and apply for visas for all players in the squad to visit Japan and Australia away from the Round of 18.
The new phase of the national football training camp will kick off on August 18 in Dalian, the first home game of the national football round of 18. The national football coaching staff will select about 28 players (including 4 to 5 alternate players) from the squad to participate in this training camp in early August at the latest. The team is expected to travel to Japan on September 2 to prepare for the first round of the round of 18 against Japan on the 5th of that month.
